203: Chapter 203 The Humility of a Billionaire CEO! Talking to me about money? Can you even afford a single grain of my rice?!

"Gulp."

Qin Xueji swallowed with difficulty.

Her cold facade, usually so decisive and commanding in the business world, was torn to shreds before this terrifying vine covered in black metallic scales.

The bone-chilling cold radiating from the tip of the vine left her in no doubt that if she dared to move, this monster would pierce her throat without hesitation.

"Who's making such a racket outside? Don't you know Dahei has a bad temper?"

Accompanied by lazy footsteps, Su Yang walked out of the courtyard, slowly holding a cup of top-grade Dahongpao tea brewed with spirit spring water.

He was wearing a slightly faded casual outfit and flip-flops, looking just like an unemployed drifter out for a stroll after a meal.

Yet, not one of the dozens of elite bodyguards in suits present dared to make a sound.

Because the moment that terrifying vine saw this young man, it acted like a puppy meeting its master, quickly retracting and affectionately rubbing against Su Yang's pant leg.

"You... are you Master Su?"

Qin Xueji took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in her heart, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Su Yang.

Li Changfeng had repeatedly warned her over the phone that this Consultant Su had an eccentric temper and unfathomable strength, telling her she must lower her posture.

She had originally expected an elderly Senior with a celestial aura, but didn't expect a handsome young man who looked even younger than her.

"Don't go around claiming kinship; I'm no Great Master."

Su Yang took a sip of tea, his gaze sweeping over the dozen identical Rolls-Royces outside the gate, before finally landing on Qin Xueji and the wheelchair beside her.

"Li Changfeng sent you, right? He sure knows how to bring me trouble."

"Mr. Su, I am truly sorry for disturbing you so late at night."

Qin Xueji quickly bowed slightly; the snow-white cleavage at her neckline was faintly visible under the streetlights, and combined with her cold, noble temperament, she was truly a rare, cold, and elegant beauty.

But what kind of stunning beauty had Su Yang not seen before?

That Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bai Li in the house could kill her eight hundred times over with just a single glance.

Su Yang didn't even let his gaze linger on her for a second, just coldly saying, "If you know you're disturbing me, then leave quickly. This young master just finished eating and now I'm going back to hold my wife and sleep. Dahei, close the door."

"Hiss!"

Dahei immediately spat out a vine, wrapping it around the vermilion gate to close it.

"Wait! Mr. Su, I beg you to have mercy!"

Qin Xueji panicked completely; she threw herself forward, disregarding her image, reaching out to grab Su Yang's hem, but was fiercely struck on the back of her hand by Dahei's vine, leaving a swollen, bloody welt instantly.

Qin Xueji held back her tears and said urgently, "Mr. Su, my grandfather is dying! As long as you are willing to save him, you can name any condition!"

"I am Qin Xueji, the Chairperson of the Jiangnan Qin Group. Our Qin family has assets worth hundreds of billions. Whether you want one hundred million, one billion, or a manor villa in the city center, I can have the title transferred to you immediately!"

At this point, Qin Xueji regained some confidence.

In this world, no one can refuse the temptation of money. If they can, it's just because there isn't enough money.

However.

Hearing this, Su Yang was not moved at all; instead, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hundreds of billions in assets? One billion?"

Su Yang turned his head and shouted into the courtyard: "Yuqing, go to the dining table and bring out a grain of leftover rice."

"Okay, Boss!"

Ye Yuqing, wearing a tight-fitting OL outfit, ran out in her high heels, clack-clack-clack, holding a small porcelain dish on which lay a single, crystal-clear grain of spirit crystal rice emitting a faint white light.

Su Yang pinched the grain of rice with two fingers and waved it in front of Qin Xueji.

"Take a good look; this is the leftover rice from our meal just now."

"If a Mortal eats this grain of rice, not only will all illnesses be cured, but they can extend their life by ten years, and it can even make dead wood sprout again."

"President Qin, you estimate the price for me. Is this one grain of my rice enough to buy your so-called hundred-billion group?"

Qin Xueji was stunned.

The bodyguards behind her were also stunned.

Although they thought Su Yang was bragging, the astonishing, exotic fragrance emanating from that grain of rice made them feel refreshed just by taking a single breath, wiping away the exhaustion from days of staying up late.

As an extremely shrewd businesswoman, Qin Xueji instantly realized the value of this grain of rice.

If this rice really had the effect of extending life by ten years, let alone hundreds of billions, even if you combined the assets of all the world's billionaires, people would fight over it!

Her wealth, which she was so proud of, couldn't even buy a single grain of leftover rice in front of this man!

"I..." On Qin Xueji's cold and beautiful face, a look of extreme helplessness and shame appeared for the first time.

"Boss, why waste words on a Mortal like this?"

Suddenly, a black afterimage flew over Su Yang's head.

Marie, wearing a black lace bikini with only a loose white shirt over it, landed on the courtyard wall, flapping her bat wings.

Her scarlet eyes stared fixedly at Old Master Qin in the wheelchair, and she licked her red lips with her tongue.

"The Death Qi on this old man is so heavy, and there's also a moldy smell of a rotting corpse. Boss, if you find it troublesome and don't want to save him, why not give him to me as a midnight snack? I guarantee I'll suck him dry, without any pain at all."

"A Vampire?!"

"Protect the Young Miss! Protect the Old Master!"

Dozens of bodyguards finally reacted, drawing their pistols one after another, their dark muzzles aimed at Marie on the wall.

"You're courting death."

Su Yang's eyes turned cold.

Daring to draw guns on his territory?

He didn't even need to make a move; Dahei on the wall suddenly erupted, dozens of thick vines whipping out like phantoms.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

A series of dense bone-cracking sounds rang out.

Dozens of elite bodyguards didn't even have the chance to fire; their wrists were all snapped, their pistols scattered on the ground, and everyone was screaming and rolling on the ground.

Qin Xueji was frightened pale; her legs went weak, and she knelt directly in front of Su Yang.

"Mr. Su, please calm your anger! It is my failure to discipline them!"

"I beg you to have mercy! As long as you can save my grandfather, I... I, Qin Xueji, am willing to serve you like a beast of burden!"

The hundred-billionaire female CEO was now humbled to the dust.

Su Yang looked down from above at Qin Xueji, who was kneeling at his feet and trembling with fear, and only then did his gaze slowly shift to the half-dead Old Master in the wheelchair.

"Forget about being a beast of burden; my house doesn't need a maid."

Su Yang saw through the reality of the black Qi between the Old Master's eyebrows at a glance.

"Your grandfather's condition is not an illness."

"He has been afflicted with the long-lost Extreme Evil Corpse Gu from the Miao region. This Gu insect has already hollowed out his internal organs and is currently latched onto his heart meridian, sucking up the last bit of his Yang Qi."

Qin Xueji suddenly looked up, her eyes full of shock.

All the famous doctors and national experts couldn't find the cause of the illness, yet Su Yang, from such a distance, had identified the crux of the problem at a single glance!

"Mr. Su! Please save him!"

"It's not impossible to save him."

Su Yang rubbed his chin, his gaze suddenly landing on Qin Xueji's cold and stunningly beautiful face, the corner of his mouth curling into a playful arc.

"I don't lack money. However, this woman's fate is quite interesting."

"Born with a Profound Merchant Treasure-Gathering Body; no wonder your Qin family could reach the hundred-billion level."

Su Yang extended a finger, lifted Qin Xueji's smooth chin, and forced her to look up at him.

"If you want to save him, fine, but I want something from you."

"Pfft—!"

Before Su Yang could finish speaking, Old Master Qin in the wheelchair suddenly let out a sharp, muffled groan and violently opened his eyes.

But in his eyes, there were no whites; they were entirely filled with disgusting, pitch-black mucus.

A large mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs sprayed directly from the Old Master's mouth, splattering onto Qin Xueji's snow-white shirt.
