"Didn't you say you were willing to pay any amount of money?" Li Shu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, "Or are your legs not worth even 100 million?"
Zhao Heng's heart skipped a beat. Li Shu looked like she was going to cripple his legs if he didn't pay her today. "Wait a minute, don't come over yet. I'm going to call my dad..."
Li Shu stopped and folded her arms. "Alright, let's fight. Without this 100 million today, you can't even think of leaving this house. But you can crawl out."
"I know you're anxious, but don't worry, wait for me to call." Zhao Heng was sweating profusely after being threatened by Li Shu. His fingers trembled as he reached into his pockets. After searching both pockets for a long time, he couldn't find his phone. "No...where's my phone?"
"Are you kidding me?" Li Shu said in a calm voice.
"Don't worry, I must have lost it somewhere." Zhao Heng's face tensed up and he said quickly, "I'll look for it."
"Mr. Heng, your cell phone seems to be in the bedroom..." Gu Zihan suddenly reminded.
Zhao Heng raised his eyes and turned to look at her. "Then what are you standing there for? Go get it to me!"
Gu Zihan didn't dare to say much. He nodded, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
In less than a minute, she walked out of the bedroom again and returned to the living room with a cell phone in her hand.
Gu Zihan handed the phone to Zhao Heng and whispered, "Young Master Heng, this is your phone."
Zhao Heng reached out to take it, stood up from the ground again, and walked to the side with the phone.
He unlocked the screen, opened the address book, and called Zhao's father.
Fortunately, the phone was connected after a few rings.
"Hello, Dad."
"What's wrong? Why are you calling me in broad daylight?" Father Zhao asked curiously.
Zhao Heng secretly glanced at Li Shu who was standing not far away, and said concisely: "Dad, something happened to me, and now I want 100 million before the other party is willing to let me go..."
Father Zhao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, his brows full of disbelief, and for a moment he suspected that he had misheard, "What did you say?"
Zhao Heng clenched his phone tightly, his palms sweating with anxiety. "Someone wants to cripple my legs. Unless I give her 100 million, she will let me go. Otherwise, I can't even think of leaving my apartment today."
Father Zhao was overwhelmed when he heard this. "No, who did you offend?"
Zhao Heng pursed his lips and looked in the direction of Li Shu. "Dad, I don't know what she does. She's very skilled and evil. I can't run away. Hurry up and prepare the money, otherwise I'll really die here today."
Father Zhao's temples throbbed, his blood pressure rising with anger. He snapped, "You've really screwed me over. How can I get you 100 million in such a short time? Where can I get so much liquid capital?"
Zhao Heng's face suddenly changed, and he felt as if the sky had fallen. He said in disbelief, "No, Dad, are you saying you're not going to take care of me anymore?"
Father Zhao pressed his swollen brows and said, "Give the phone to that person, I'll talk to him."
"Oh, okay." Zhao Heng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, but he kept reminding her, "Dad, you must save me. I don't want my legs to be crippled at such a young age."
"Stop talking nonsense and give the phone to that person quickly," said Zhao's father.
Zhao Heng responded and walked towards Li Shu with his cell phone.
He handed the phone in his hand to her and said carefully: "Um...Sister...My dad wants to say a few words to you..."
Li Shu raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and reached out to take it. "Hey."
When Mr. Zhao on the other end of the phone heard a female voice, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that the person who kidnapped his son was a woman, and the voice seemed quite young.
He collected his thoughts and asked, "Why did you kidnap my son?"
"If that's all you want to ask me, then let your good son explain it to you slowly." Li Shu said calmly, "I don't have that much time. One hundred million will buy your son's legs."
Father Zhao was speechless, but he couldn't really ignore Zhao Heng, so he tried to negotiate: "Can you give me some time? I can't get so much money so quickly. I can give you 30 million first, and then I can give you the rest after I get it together."
Li Shu was a little tired of standing. She stepped past Zhao Heng, walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down casually. She said in a tone that did not allow for argument: "I said, one hundred million is one hundred million. If it's not, then there is no room for negotiation."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Mr. Zhao to speak, she raised her hand and threw the phone directly at Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng took it hurriedly and held the phone to his ear, "Hello, Dad."
"What on earth did you do to offend her?" Father Zhao had a terrible headache. "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to listen to you right now. If you keep dragging your feet, I'll call the police for you."
"No...how could I..." Zhao Heng noticed Li Shu sitting there, and the word "drag" was about to come out of his mouth but he swallowed it back into his stomach.
"Try to delay it. Tell her I'm going to collect the money and ask her to wait a while." Zhao's father said, "By the way, are you guys in that apartment in the city center now?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Heng nodded, "Dad, I understand."
Father Zhao gave him a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.
Zhao Heng coughed lightly, put away his phone, looked up at Li Shu, and said awkwardly, "Sister, my dad said he's going to collect some money now, so please wait a moment."
Li Shu raised her hands that were on the armrest of the chair intermittently, without saying a word, just looking at Zhao Heng quietly, feeling full of oppression.
Zhao Heng's heart trembled. He was already feeling guilty, and when she looked at him, he subconsciously lowered his head and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Gu Zihan, who was hiding in the corner and acting as an invisible person, witnessed everything. He was so scared that he didn't even dare to fart, for fear that Li Shu would notice him and kill her.
"Let me guess, you are not delaying to call the police?" Li Shu suddenly said.
"..." Zhao Heng's hands drooped at his sides and curled up. Sweat broke out on his forehead. He had said that this crazy woman was very evil, but she had guessed it again. "No, how could it be? Believe me, my father really went to collect money..."
Li Shu stood up from her chair and said, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, and I don't have the patience to wait any longer."
"No, sister, wait, let me explain!" Zhao Heng couldn't help but step back when he saw this, but his back hit a strong chest.
He was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked behind him, only to see Ji Si blocking his way like a wall.
For the first time, Zhao Heng felt what despair was and what it meant to be attacked from both sides.
No matter how he delays it, he can't delay it at all.
Just when he was about to close his eyes and accept his fate, the ringing of a cell phone suddenly broke the stillness in the air.
Hope reappeared in Zhao Heng's eyes, thinking that his cell phone was ringing and his father was calling him.
However, when he saw Li Shu take out a cell phone from her pocket, the hope that had just risen was shattered again.
