"Ms. Meng, prepare two million and have it delivered to the port terminal at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow."
"You come alone, or I'll chop your uncle into pieces and throw him into the Xiang River to feed the fish!"
A rough male voice came from the other end of the phone, speaking in Hong Kong Cantonese.
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Meng Zhen immediately shouted, "Wait."
"I need to check on my uncle first. Ask him to talk to me."
The other party didn't answer, but didn't hang up either.
After a moment, Ye Shen's somewhat weak voice came from the receiver: "Don't..."
Don't come.
But before he could finish the word "come", someone snatched the receiver away.
Then there was the sound of punches and kicks.
Meng Zhenxin was so angry that she quickly spoke out to stop him:
"Don't touch my uncle! If you dare to hurt him, I guarantee you'll never get what you want!"
These words touched the opponent's lifeline, and the sound of fighting stopped.
Meng Zhen continued, "Also, I can't raise such a huge sum of two million by tomorrow."
"Hmph, if you can't raise enough money, then wait to collect your uncle's body." The other party threatened viciously.
Meng Zhen: "So there's no room for negotiation? Fine, then go ahead.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, that’s not my biological uncle, but my husband’s uncle.”
"It's my duty to save people, and it's my responsibility not to save them. I don't lose anything regardless of height."
Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent.
Then someone else seemed to speak: "Didn't you just tell us not to hurt him? Stop playing tricks, bitch! If you don't take the money, you'll be waiting for your body to be collected tomorrow!"
Meng Zhen sneered, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my uncle is an American citizen. I think if I call the police now, the US Embassy should be happy to put pressure on the Hong Kong City police."
As a free trade zone, Hong Kong City is highly dependent on foreign investment economically.
If foreign investors cannot even guarantee their lives when investing here, who would be willing to invest?
With the outflow of capital, economic development will naturally be affected.
Therefore, the Hong Kong City police will not allow such a thing to happen and will certainly do their utmost to hunt down the criminals.
Obviously, the people over there also know this.
There was a precedent in Hong Kong before, where a foreign businessman was blackmailed and kidnapped by gangsters. The police made every effort to crack the case, which led to the gang being directly shut down.
"So what do you want?" The person on the other end of the phone relaxed.
Meng Zhen took the opportunity to say, "Two million is an astronomical figure for me, I can't afford it.
Even if you give me a month to raise the money, I still can't do it. Please lower the amount."
When he heard that she wanted to bargain, the other party's breath obviously stagnated.
Then he quoted: "One million and eight hundred thousand."
Meng Zhen: "One million."
The other party: "One million and a half."
Meng Zhen: "800,000."
Fuck, the other party cursed and didn’t want to play this bidding game with her anymore.
"One million in cash, I'll see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, deal." Meng Zhen agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Zhen let out a long sigh, no longer having the intimidating aura he had just had.
One million in cash is not a small amount. Where can she get it?
Even if all the assets were sold, it wouldn't be enough.
And why would you give all that money you worked so hard to get to the kidnappers for free? Don't even think about it.
She wants to save her uncle, but she doesn’t want to give him money!
Meng Zhen was still thinking about how to raise money, while Shen Qianyi beside him was already stunned.
He looked at her like she was an alien.
No way?
This is the first time I see someone bargaining with kidnappers.
And it was cut in half directly.
"Sister Meng, how dare you? Aren't you afraid they'll kill you?"
Chen Zhuo also looked at Meng Zhen with interest, as if he had discovered a new world.
