Chapter 416 - 409: After Money
The opponents spread out, trapping Leng Yichen and Wang Hai firmly in the alley.
Wang Hai’s palm gradually clenched into a fist; today he must not let the boss get hurt no matter what. His eyes were resolute, a spirit forged in the military to grow stronger in the face of adversity. At this moment, he seemed to forget he had a wife and two children at home, focusing all his mind and body on Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichen stepped forward, gently patting Wang Hai’s shoulder, "Wang Hai, no need to be so tense."
Seeing Leng Yichen take the initiative to go forward, the opponents hesitated. In their concept, wealthy people are all afraid of dying, especially big bosses like Leng Yichen, who should be terrified to the bones.
But now, not only did they dare not meet his eyes, even his slightest movements filled them with unease.
Seeing Leng Yichen was about to pass him, Wang Hai wanted to stop him, but was held back by Leng Yichen, who whispered, "No need to fight so hard, don’t forget you have two kids at home."
Wang Hai froze, his lips quivering, and his eyes slightly moist.
"Mr. Leng, we’re only after money, nothing else." The opponents’ aura had already been overshadowed by Leng Yichen, and now seeing him approach, they hurriedly spoke.
Leng Yichen glared at them, "Even asking for money needs a reason, otherwise giving this money would be too humiliating for me."
The opponent sneered, "I think Mr. Leng should be clearer about that than me."
Leng Yichen raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I’m actually not very clear."
The opponent couldn’t stand the oppressive feeling from Leng Yichen anymore and didn’t want to waste time with nonsense; the goal this time was money, and once they got it, their task was complete.
So, the person took out a phone, gently swiped a few times, and tossed it to Leng Yichen, "Mr. Leng, I won’t beat around the bush with you—look at the photos on it, then decide whether to give the money today or not!"
Leng Yichen caught the phone steadily, his eyes fixed on the photo on the screen. His expression instantly turned stern, an even colder aura enveloped him.
Wang Hai noticed Leng Yichen’s change, glanced at the photo, and was taken aback.
The photo showed Bai Yiran at a hospital, with a nurse also in the shot, supporting her, looking very distressed.
"If you want your wife safe and sound, better fulfill our demands—I told you, we’re only after money!"
Leng Yichen clenched the phone tightly, "How much do you want?"
"Not much, fifteen million—US Dollars!"
"Alright!"
Tied to Bai Yiran’s safety, Leng Yichen dared not take risks; now it’s not just about money—if they asked for his life, he could give it up at any time.
What concerned him most now was Bai Yiran’s pained expression—what had happened to her?
"Give me an account number, I’ll transfer the money immediately," Leng Yichen said.
"The next photo shows the account number."
Seeing the account number, Leng Yichen didn’t dare delay a second, immediately contacted the company’s finance department to handle the transfer.
Not long after, the opponents received a call confirming the money had arrived, laughed, "Indeed, Huamei International’s Mr. Leng—truly loaded!"
Having received the money, the opponents were about to leave. Suddenly, sirens rang in succession, and before they could escape, police cars had already surrounded the area tightly.
The opponents were astonished, not understanding how the police could find the place so quickly, but evidently, they were caught red-handed.
"Leng Yichen! You must not want your wife alive, is that it?"
