"Ten billion US Dollars..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Bai gasped, thinking that the kidnappers' appetites were indeed huge, daring to demand a ransom of ten billion US Dollars from the Ye Family, without fear of bursting their own bellies.
Although the Ye Family was the premier prominent clan in Lingnan, raising ten billion US Dollars within a week was no easy task. Moreover, taking out such a large sum of money at once would deeply wound the family's Essence Energy and could even lead to its decline.
This was something the vast majority of the Ye Family members did not want to see.
Therefore, a prominent clan like the Ye Family would not gamble the fate of the entire family for the life or death, honor or disgrace of one person, even if that person was the head of the family.
So when Ye Xing was kidnapped, the Ye Family would launch an active rescue operation, but they were unlikely to pay the ten billion US Dollar ransom to save Ye Xing's life.
