"Listen, you cunning fox! I have a recording of our deal, if I'm going down, I will bring you down with me. I have worked hard to get my hands on the Du Group and I will not let anyone take it away from me. So, how do you plan on compensating me?" said Du Wen Hai trying his best to control his anger over the phone.

"You think you can threaten me? If you have the abilities, use it, build the company back up! I want to remind you, no matter to who you bring you evidence to, they are all my people, working for me, I want to see if you can get them to turn their back on me. Ha ha ha. Don't forget, you are merely a pawn on my board. Did fat and fart get into your brain that you forget, that those so called big shots you know only give a damn about you because I say so. So don't get ahead of yourself,"

"I... I... I am sorry for being impulsive earlier. It is just that so many things are going on and I feel trapped. I need a way out," said Du Wen Hai meekly.

In reality, he was irreconcile with the fact he have to beg for mercy.

"Our deal was to leave the child to me, I will deal with her eventually, instead you can't control your anger and let a child use it against you, how are you worthy of the position of C.E.O? No wonder you could never beat Du Wen Hao."

Du Wen Hai felt a deep pain, his sore spot been jabbed at over and over and over again. He took a deep breath, he really need to control his anger. No one but himself is allow to look down on him.

"Give me another chance, I'd do anything." Du Wen Hai begged. He sets aside all his pride. He can't lose everything. He don't have any financial backup if Du Group really went down. Plus, he needed to support their lavish lifestyle. He could not lose face and reputation in the rich and famous circle.

"You need to show me sincerity and need to put up your most precious thing as a collateral. I am a businessman after all"

Damn that man, cursed Du Wen Hai, he should have known a fox is a fox, how could he not sense it when he first made his first deal with this man? He refused to admit greed had blinded him. He gritted his teeth and thought hard about his most precious thing.

"You mean you want my wife? All these while, you were eyeing my wife?" Du Wen Hai asked in surprise.

"Why would I want a second hand shoe? How can your wife be your most precious thing right now when you are not going to hesitate to give her up, if I said yes, I want that old shoe. Think harder!"

Du Wen Hai came to realisation, it must be his newborn daughter. This man, is he a pedophile. Should he or should he not make a deal with such man. Thinking about the old shoe the man was talking about, his beautiful wife, she would definitely not hesitate to leave him if he has nothing. What if he could gather power and money before the time comes for him to handover his daughter? After a very long pause and hesitation, he decided to reply.

"Why are you interested in my daughter?" he asked.

"Hahaha. You do treat her a little better than your wife despite her being a few days old. You don't have to worry, I have always wanted to groom a daughter but unfortunately, I only have sons. Let me train your daughter to be next Du Group heiress. I want her to go against Du Ru Ran. That little girl will reappear when her age is right to claim what is hers, I need weapon and your daughter so far is the best weapon I can think of but if her innate talents are useless than let me warn you, I won't hesitate to replace her because useless people are just garbage of the society! I definitely won't keep garbage near me."

Du Wen Hai considered the man's offer. Indeed he lack talent and this offer is good. The man is a business genius, can be match to Du Wen Hao, so his daughter won't lose if she were to train under him.

"I agree. I want in black and white and my daughter will not be treated like a sex slave, do you understand!" said Du Wen Hai.

"Ha ha ha. A man selling his daughter away is worried about his daughter being a sex slave. Ha ha ha. Joke of the century. My lawyer will contact you."

The mysterious man then slammed his phone down.
