Another 50 Million

Indeed, Zhen Dazhou investigated Pengzhan Industry and Chu Pengzhan’s assets and the amount he gave was the maximum Chu Pengzhan could take out! He asked for cash because it was impossible to give him company shares and immovable assets. If he took those, he would be asking to be caught by the police! He wasn’t an idiot!

“Mr. Chu is wrong. I’m merely a brave witness who can make sure your daughter and her best friend come back alive. I don’t know if they’ll be injured or not because that’s up to the kidnappers!” The caller wasn’t afraid of Chu Pengzhan’s threat at all and replied shamelessly.

Chu Pengzhan froze. What he was scared the most was sexual harassment and from the caller’s words, he was almost certain that the kidnappers would do that! Chu Pengzhan grasped his phone rightly and his body shook, “How will you keep them safe? I’ll give you all the money you want!”

“Oh? It looks like Mr. Chu doesn’t want to work with me then?” The caller’s attitude suddenly changed and laughed coldly, “Fine then, just wait, you’ll be collecting your daughter and her best friend’s bodies!”

“Wait!” Chu Pengzhan sighed. It looked like it was enough to have them back alive, whether they will be harassed or not was no longer within his consideration. Obviously his daughter and Shu weren’t willing for this to happen either. It will be fine as soon as they keep this a secret. It was better than dead!

“Oh? Did Mr. Chu change his mind again?” The caller sounded as if he could predict Chu Pengzhan’s decisions, he knew that Chu Pengzhan would agree and discuss with him again.

“I agree, but please don’t harm them if you can. If I can, I’ll think of something and give you another 50 million as extra compensation!” Chu Pengzhan said, “I, Chu Pengzhan, never go back on my words and you can check how reliable I am in the business field. I will do what I say and I hope you trust me!”

“Of course I know that, but… humph… I can’t decide that,” the caller replied indifferently, “Go and get money right now, I’ll call you in a bit and tell you how to give the money to me!”

“No problem, I’ll get it ready as soon as possible!”

“Don’t call the police or your daughter will die a painful death,” the caller didn’t forget to warn him.

Chu Pengzhan laughed coldly silently. Aren’t you a brave witness who’s here to provide clues? Now you are telling us not to call the police? You finally exposed yourself!

However, he wouldn’t say that aloud and he didn’t dare to agitate the kidnapper, “I won’t, don’t worry!”

In fact, Chu Pengzhan didn’t plan to call the police anyway. The other party obviously had a high division master and the police’s intervention would only agitate them. Even if they could save his daughter, they might not be able to catch the cultivated master. What would happen in the future? These people would try and take revenge even more and it won’t be as simple as kidnapping like this time. Next time, they would probably be killed like Uncle Fu!

Chu Pengzhan just hung up and Lin Yi’s phone rang.

Although Lin Yi was cultivating in the pendent’s space, he heard the conversation between Chu Pengzhan and the kidnapper. However, he didn’t express anything as he wanted to use every single second he had to regain energy back.

After his phone rang, he could only return to the real world from cultivation to pick up the call. He thought that it was from the kidnapper as well but it was from Song Lingshan.

“Hello? Any news?” Lin Yi asked.

“We surveilled Mr. Chu Pengzhan’s call and we heard the conversation with the kidnapper. We were unable to locate the kidnapper as the call was connected to an IP server overseas through the internet,” Song Lingshan replied regretfully, “Anything else we can help with?”

“Not for the time being. I will handle it myself. They have a cultivated master and you are no match for him,” Lin Yi turned down her offer to help.

Although Song Lingshan was unhappy to hear that she was no match for the kidnapper, she knew that it was the truth. She was on the same level as Uncle Fu, but she specialized in the spiritual style rather than physical style. If they fought, they should tie.

But if the kidnapper could injure Uncle Fu so severely, Song Lingshan would end up in the same situation if she went!”

“Then… Be careful… Little Dumbass is cheering for you!” Song Lingshan didn’t know why she was so worried about Lin Yi. He always bullied her, so why would she be worried? She didn’t understand her own heart either…

“I will,” Lin Yi hung up.

Songshan ¹ city was named so because there were numerous mountain ranges around this area. Other than Mountain Shuangyan which was developed into a tourist spot, the other steeper mountains were left undeveloped.

One of the mountains was called South Mirror. Of course, it was just a nickname created by the locals there, and no one knew the geographical name for it. Perhaps the mountain didn’t even exist on the map.

It was called South Mirror because it stood on the south of Songshan, and the mirror indicated the steepness of the mountain. The majority of it was made up of rocks, and it was difficult to walk on like a mirror after raining. In short, there was nothing in the mountain and no one went there.

But today, there were two cars parked at the foot of the mountain. One was a Benz with Donghai’s number plate, the other was Toyota’s Previa.

In the mountain, Zhen Yingjun just called Chu Pengzhan with a voice change and he hesitated. He originally planned to ask for 200 million from him, play with his daughter and Chen Yushu, then kill Lin Yi. Then it would be over.

But now Chu Pengzhan offered another 50 million. He was moved! He spent 40 million on treatment and Chu Pengzhan added another 50 million on top of 200 million! The condition was to leave Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu untouched!

How could Zhen Yingjun not be moved? With 50 million? He could buy a virgin’s first time with 10,000 yuan. Taking two girls for 50 million was too expensive!

Although it was his first time hearing that the victim was willing to give the kidnapper more money, Chu Pengzhan was a rather reliable person. He believed that if he sent Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu back safely, Chu Pengzhan would do as he said, but he was still somewhat unwilling to give up on the girls!
