Chapter 1211: Threatening Letter
Noon.
State Security Bureau.
The windows were opened as Xu Yan’s office was warm. It was because of the afternoon sun and Zhang Longjuan’s call.
“What happened to Sister Zhang?” Dong Xuebing asked.
Xu Yan tried calling Zhong Longjuan again. “She switched off her phone.”
Dong Xuebing was anxious. “What happened, Sister Xu?”
Dong Xuebing was grateful to Zhang Longjuan for helping him rescue Professor Zhong.
Xu Yan replied. “She is in Hongkong now.”
Dong Xuebing asked. “Why did she go to Hong Kong?”
Xu Yan explained quickly. “It seemed that State Security had given her a mission.”
Dong Xuebing said. “Sister Zhang’s duty is to fund the State Security’s overseas operation. Why is she given a mission this time?”
Xu Yan thought for a while and said. “I think it is related to her business. I heard her company is having some cash flow issues. She had separated her business from her family, and they fell out. So, she got to shoulder this responsibility. I don’t know the details, but she did mention it would be difficult to solve this issue. She is in Hong Kong because she works for State Security to settle her company’s cash flow problems.”
“How is she going to settle it?”
“Old Zhang did not say.”
“I still have tens of millions of RMB if she needs it.” Dong Xuebing said. “You know I won the lottery, and my money is kept in the bank.”
Xu Yan shook her head. “Tens of million RMB is too little to help her company.”
Dong Xuebing was speechless. “She needs so much money?”
Xu Yan nodded. “Tens of million RMB is not enough.”
“Then I cannot help.” Although Dong Xuebing knew Zhang Longjuan was wealthier than him, he did not expect her company to be so big.
She needs a billion RMB or more.
Dong Xuebing does not have so much money.
“You don’t need to do anything.” Xu Yan sighed. “Old Zhang will not accept your money too. She might be wild, but she has a high ego.”
Dong Xuebing asked. “Her business... it does not mean she is in trouble.”
Xu Yan tapped her desk with her fingers. “Old Zhang said she received a threatening letter and noticed someone was following her. She is staying at a hotel in Hong Kong, and the letter was sent to her room. This person knows her movement, and the letter demanded her to transfer a few million HKD to a bank account, or she cannot leave safely.”
Dong Xuebing frowned. “This is ridiculous.”
Xu Yan replied. “That is not the mainland, and they are lawless.”
Dong Xuebing asked. “Did Sister Zhang offend anyone, like her competitor?”
“Her business is in the US and has no business here. She will not offend anyone in Hong Kong. Her business competitors will also not do such things.”
“Then you mean...”
“Old Zhang loves gambling.”
“Gambling?”
“Yes. Oh, I am going back to Beijing for treatment.”
“Go on. Your injuries are quite severe, and should be resting more. Ah, you can keep in touch with Xiao Tan. She is doing well and was promoted to director recently.”
“Xiao Tan? Tan Limei?”
“Yes. You two were close.”
“Sure. I will call her when I am back.”
Dong Xuebing called Xie Huilan, Qu Yunxuan, Luan Xiaoping, and the rest after hanging up.
“Huilan, I am returning to Beijing.”
“Are you going back today? What’s the rush?”
“My wounds felt uncomfortable, and I want to be checked at the hospital.”
“I will help you contact the hospital.”
“No need. I know people there too. I can call them.”
“All right. Haha.... you are so busy. You just returned for one day, and you are leaving again.”
“I want to get well soon. I should be back within ten days.”
“Mum, I am going to a Beijing hospital for treatment.”
“Didn’t you have seen the doctor?”
“I want to be safe and check again.”
“I will accompany you. I don’t have anything to do at home.”
“You need to care for the child. Don’t worry. I will be fine. Furthermore, Huilan’s parents and relatives are there.”
“Ok. Go ahead.”
“Aunt Xuan, I am Xiao Bing.”
“I just got home. Why did you go out again?”
“I am going back to Beijing for treatment and to check my wounds.”
Dong Xuebing walked out of the teahouse after hanging up. He got into a taxi and said. “Please send me to the long-distance bus station.”
Inside the taxi.
Dong Xuebing made his final call.
Ring... ring.... ring... a woman answered.
“Haha, Xuebing.”
“Tan Zi. I heard you were promoted recently.”
“Hehe... it is luck.”
“Congratulations. Err... I need a favor from you.”
“What is it? I will help if it is within my means.”
“I need to go to Hong Kong urgently. Can you help me get the air ticket and permit immediately?”
“Oh, no problem. I will do it immediately.”
“Thank you. Don’t tell anyone, especially Chief Xu.”
