Chapter 1216: Trouble came!
After breakfast.
The Presidential Suite was quiet.
Five seconds...
Ten seconds...
No one said a word. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
Dong Xuebing does not talk because he does not know the twin sisters, and they dislike him. The sisters are wary of outsiders like Dong Xuebing and do not want to let him know more. Zhang Longjuan was drinking wine and smoking on the couch.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the room’s phone ringing.
Ring... ring... ring...
Shen Xiaomei looked at the phone and answered it. Her face immediately changed.
Shen Xiaoyan knew what happened and made a hand gesture.
Shen Xiaomei nodded and turned on the phone speakers.
Zhang Longjuan narrowed her eyes and looked at them with Dong Xuebing.
A man said with a hoarse voice. “Ms. Zhang, the time is almost up. You have received our letter and should prepare the money. Although the money is not for us, it is the same. Don’t ask how we know about you. We have been watching your every movement since you came. We know where you have been and which hotel you are staying in. We accept HKD and USD. Place the money at the place we tell you. Wait for our call. We want two million USD.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “How do you know me?”
That man laughed. “You don’t need to know.”
Zhang Longjuan said. “You all are interesting. It’s fine if you all got something to blackmail me. But why are you demanding money from me without anything? Why should I give you?”
That man laughed. “I don’t need any reason to demand money from you. You are buying your life with money, and you can refuse if you think your life is not worth it.”
Zhang Longjuan shook her head. “You cannot find anything as I forgot their names. Maybe I can recognize them when I see them. It was many years ago.”
Shen Xiaoyan frowned. “Then we can only wait?”
“Let’s wait and see what they do.”
“It will be too passive. Should we move to another hotel?”
“It is meaningless. They can find out where we are staying the first time, and they can find out the second time. It will boost their confidence if we try to hide from them.”
“They should have more than a dozen people from that man’s tone. If we clash with them... Should we contact the local authorities?” Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei were confident in their combat skills and marksmanship. However, it will be hard for them to face so many people.
“Do you think I never tried?”
“You have called the police?”
Zhang Longjuan smiled. “But nothing was heard from the police until now. My guess is they have connections with the police. I am a businessman who is less influential than the local gangsters.”
Shen Xiaoyan paused for a second. “I think I should inform the higher-ups.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “They don’t dare to kill me, which is not serious. Everything will be fine. Also, the higher-up will not send anyone as we are on a confidential mission. I also don’t want too many dealings with the State Security. What if the backup they sent exposed my identity? How am I going to do business in Florida?”
The sisters heard about the Florida Research Center incident and knew Ms. Zhang might be a part of it. But they don’t know the details.
Zhang Longjuan’s identity cannot be exposed.
The higher-ups cannot send people to help them.
They must settle this by themselves.
Zhang Longjuan has no intention of giving them money. Dong Xuebing’s arrival also gave her confidence. She turned and looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing nodded.
Zhang Longjuan looked at his arm.
Dong Xuebing smiled and continued to nod, indicating he was fine. He can still fight off dozens of people.
