Bai Zhenhai returned home in disgrace.

Xu Aqin saw his bruised and swollen face and exclaimed, "How did you end up like this? Did the people from the Li family beat you?"

In order to please the audio master, they disregarded their own status as upper-class figures and took action against the wealthiest person in Dongcheng?

It's so rude!

"Those two self-righteous security guards..." Bai Zhenhai didn't want to talk about it anymore.

It wasn't until this moment that he understood what it meant to be a tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs. He slumped onto the sofa, his voice low, "Today is the last day. After twelve o'clock, it will be the three-day limit."

<<>>

<<<"??" "Oh..." Bai Zhenhai didn't say anything, just sighed heavily. He knew Ou Yan's character; if the time came, she wouldn't hesitate because of family ties.

>>>

By nine o'clock in the evening, Bai Zhenhai's 14 commercial shops and 4 luxury villas were still unsold...

<<>>

Remember for one second

"Please... just give me some more time, I can't help it that the house and shop won't sell..."

"You only have the last three hours left." After the lawyer's words, he hung up directly.

Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!

Bailing Hai was in a panic, he had been trying to sell for three days and nothing, how could it possibly be done in three hours?

It's already 9 PM, who would be looking at houses or shops this late? And paying in full all at once?

He hurriedly called the real estate agent, "What's going on? Why won't it sell?"

"Mr. Bai, I'm not sure either. Perhaps the price is too high, and you requested a one-time full payment..."

14 shops and 4 luxury houses, with a total value of 180 million, are not affordable for ordinary people.

"What are we waiting for? Lower the price, no matter what! We have to sell it before midnight tonight!"

After Bai Zhenhai hung up the phone, he watched the time slip by...

It's 10 o'clock...

It's half past ten...

It's 11 o'clock....

Xu Aijin and Bai Muy Yao were sitting on the sofa, not daring to breathe.

By this time, there was still no news from the intermediary side!

Bai Muyao instinctively grabbed Xu Aicheng's sleeve, her body trembling with fear. She whispered, "Mom, will I be ruined...?"

<<>>

Just then, Bai Zhenhai's phone rang. It was the real estate agent calling.

He was overjoyed, and even Xu Aijin and Bai Muy Yao were getting excited. It's here! The opportunity is here!

"Are they sold?" Bai Zhenhai let out a sigh of relief as soon as he picked up the phone and laughed, "I knew my shops and houses would definitely sell. They're all prime locations in the city center..."

"Mr. Bai... a lot of people inquired, but few had buying intentions. Only one person actually made an offer," the intermediary said awkwardly. "Mr. Wu, the buyer, said that if all 14 shops and 4 houses were sold for a total of 80 million, he would buy them."

"
80 million? Has his head been kicked by a donkey?
My houses and shops are worth at least 180 million, how could he possibly buy them with just 80 million? Is he trying to get something for nothing?"

Mr. Bai, it's so late now, maybe you should consider... I'm worried about what might happen later...

"No way!" Bai Zhenhai hung up the phone angrily.

Xu Aiqin, hearing the content of the call, couldn't help but get angry either. "Suddenly asking us to lower the price by 100 million? Are you insane! Robbing money isn't this brazen!"

"Wait a little longer, don't rush..." Bai Zhenhai said so, but his heart was pounding in his chest, always with a bad premonition.

On the other side, Ou Yan received the message and learned that Bai Zhenhai refused to sell. She curled her lips into a smirk and quietly instructed someone about something.

It was eleven o'clock at night.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! ?

Bai Zhenhai's phone suddenly rang, and the three people became excited again. Bai Zhenhai didn't even bother to look at the number and picked up the phone, asking, "How is it, did it sell?"

"Mr. Bai, I'm Ting Yin's proxy lawyer. You have the last half hour left. I've sent you the prepared statement via text message. As soon as time runs out, we will release it."

"Wait, wait..." Bai Zhenhai's words hadn't finished when the other party hung up the phone again.

In the text message, the other party wrote about Bai Muyao plagiarizing Tingyin's work in a very disgraceful way. If it were to be released, the Bai family would surely be scolded to death!

Xu Aijin took the phone and, together with Bai Muyao, read the text message content. Both of their expressions were filled with the same panic and heaviness......

It was 11:45 PM.

<<>>

He knew he was taking a huge loss, but there was no other way to do it...

If not, what if that dead girl Ou Yan really exposes Yao Yao's embarrassing stories? Then the whole country will know!

When the time comes, it will also drag down their parents and the Bai family businesses...

Bai Zhenhai was deeply reluctant, his expression very embarrassed.

"Money is an external thing. Besides, if Mama gives the shares to Yaoyao later, won't our net worth increase again?"

"You should sell it, YaoYao's reputation is important."

"Zen Hai, we don't have time! Even if someone pays in full at once, it still takes time!"

"Don't hesitate!"

"Sell it!"

Let me know what the "????" represents and I'll be happy to translate it for you! For example, if "???" stands for a phrase like "hello world", then the translation would be:<<
>>>Just provide me with the context or meaning of the "?????" and I'll do my best! ?

Under Xu Aijin's urging and pleading, Bai Zhenhai finally, with a heavy heart, picked up his phone and dialed the real estate agent's number.

The intermediary heard that he was willing to sell, and hurriedly contacted Mr. Wu. After a meeting, he called Bai Zhenhai and said awkwardly, "Mr. Bai... Mr. Wu's side says that if it's 70 million, he'll buy it."

"What? Wasn't it eighty million? How did it drop again?" Bai Zhenhai was really angry. "Ask him, what are the prices of similar shops and mansions in the same area? They already got such a good deal from us, and they still want us to lower the price? Do they think we have no choice but to sell? Are they playing us for fools?"

"Mr. Bai, please don't be angry..."

"I'm not selling!" Bai Zhenhai angrily hung up the phone again.

When they heard he wasn't selling, Xu Aichun and Bai Muyao became anxious and hurriedly pleaded with him left and right...

It's 11:50 now, if it doesn't sell soon, I'll post an announcement. Anyone who wants to buy it will be too late!

Please note: I've removed the unnecessary angle brackets (<<< and >>>) from your input as they don't convey meaning in this context. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"That Mr. Wu is treating us like monkeys!" Bai Zhenhai was so angry he didn't know what to do...

Xu Aijin and Bai Muy Yao cried and pleaded with him, and finally, Bai Zhenhai calmed down. He picked up his phone, “70 million is 70 million! I want him to pay in full now, transfer the money to me!”

Because Bai Zhenhai had already signed contracts for those shops and houses, as long as the other party bought them and signed their name, the contract would come into effect.
