Chapter 616: 333 Soft and hard tactics_2

Zhao Qiankun deliberately said, "I don’t understand what Family Head Bai means by his words. Why not speak more clearly? I’m really at a loss when you beat around the bush like this."

Bai Zhengyi wasn’t foolish; how could he possibly clarify such a matter? Once he explicitly acknowledged it, wouldn’t that be equivalent to admitting guilt himself? If Zhao Qiankun recorded the call, that would serve as ironclad evidence to bring down the Bai Family!

Thus, he chuckled coldly and said, "Mr. Zhao, this matter is known between you and me. It’s not good to speak too plainly. Although the Qiankun Mercenary Corps is formidable, the Bai Family’s White Wolf Mercenary Corps isn’t something anyone can trifle with. Instead of both of us suffering, letting others benefit from our fight, wouldn’t it be better to join forces? I’ve always held great admiration for a young talent like Mr. Zhao; it’s just that the actions of the young can sometimes be too hasty. It’s better to think thrice before acting, don’t you think?"

His words were a mix of both carrot and stick, expressing admiration for Zhao Qiankun and a willingness to cooperate, while also warning him not to overstep, otherwise the White Wolf Mercenary Corps would fight back desperately. Should they wound each other in the conflict, it would only benefit others.

Zhao Qiankun comprehended Bai Zhengyi’s implication immediately. He sneered inwardly at Bai Zhengyi’s sanctimonious facade, which he despised. However, stroking his chin, he still responded, "If that’s the case, I will be waiting for Family Head Bai at the Qiankun Hotel tomorrow morning at nine."

This meant he was open to cooperation, but Bai Zhengyi had to come to the Qiankun Hotel in person tomorrow to meet him. Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi both grasped his intention, their faces turning utterly black with rage, becoming all the more twisted.

Nevertheless, with their compromising information in Zhao Qiankun’s hands, they had to go even if it meant lowering their stance to him. Should the Secret Research Institute’s affairs be exposed, the Bai Family, even in their madness for revenge against Zhao Qiankun, could not alter the outcome of total ruin. That was the worst-case scenario, so as long as they could keep Zhao Qiankun quiet, even giving up a portion of benefits temporarily was of no consequence!

With teeth gritted, Bai Zhengyi spat out, "Fine, I will definitely come tomorrow." After finishing his statement, he nearly smashed the communicator in his hand as he listened to the light laughter coming through the speaker.

As soon as he hung up the call, Bai Yi, unable to hold back, exclaimed, "Dad! Zhao Qiankun is pushing us too far!"

Bai Zhengyi glared at him sternly, his tone icy as he retorted, "If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t need to be put through his crap! You still have the face to say that! Get out! Go think about what to do next!"
