Chapter 159 - Cash Transaction
Chapter 159: Cash Transaction
“You have a new email, please check-”
A notification sound came from the computer in the room. Lin Liguo, who had regained his status as the doctor of the Li family, pulled out his chair with a smile on his face. He held the mouse and opened his inbox to read the anonymous email with no logo.
Two lines of extremely simple words appeared in front of Lin Liguo. The smile on his face became still and all the blood in his body froze as if it was flowing backwards.
“I know what you did that night, and I took pictures with conclusive evidence.”
“Prepare three million in cash and come out to carry out the transaction. Otherwise, bear the consequences!”
Lin Liguo’s fingers were trembling and he felt his heart racing as he tried to recall all the steps and details of his crime. He was sure that there was no evidence left behind, but the other party’s attitude was firm. What did he see?
Lin Liguo could not find any information about the other party based on the email. He could only test the waters by asking, “Who are you? I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Tick tock. Tick tock.
Lin Liguo listened to the clock ticking and shook his legs in frustration.
He refreshed his inbox twice every second as he waited for the threat who was hidden in the dark to answer. He barely suppressed his nervousness, and he felt cold sweat break out on his back as he clenched his fists.
“How did Bi Fang get injured? That metal infant… Dr Lin, do you want me to continue?”
This time, the email he received in his inbox was replaced with blood-red words. Lin Liguo’s scalp turned numb. He abruptly stood up and smashed the chair onto the ground. His throat was so tight that he could not utter a single sound. It was as if there were a pair of eyes watching him in the room. This terrifying feeling made Lin Liguo afraid.
He pulled open the door to the room and saw that there was no one in the corridor. He stood in front of the computer in silence.
“Bi Fang’s injury was an accident. Don’t try to frame me for this! What evidence do you have? You can show me!”
Lin Liguo spent almost two minutes typing out the full sentence before pressing the send button.
The hidden threat seemed to be a little impatient. He replied very quickly, “In that case, I will send the evidence to the Li Family.”
“You had better be prepared to not be able to continue working in the medical industry or staying in the Li Family in the future.”
When Lin Liguo saw these few lines, he did not dare to take the risk anymore. He immediately compromised and promised the other party that he would use the money to buy the video evidence in his hands.
Three million! Who on earth is threatening him?
Standing in front of the French windows, Lin Liguo’s gaze landed on the empty land behind the Li Family’s villa. A malicious intent rose in his heart. He clenched his teeth silently and replied to the other party with an email informing him of the time and venue to meet. He said, “Let’s meet at 12 o’clock at the Li Family’s abandoned pond.”
The abandoned pond in that empty land belonged to the Li family, but it had been neglected for many years. It was so deserted that no one would pass by at night.
Besides, the pond is filled with leeches and there are no surveillance systems with networks in the vicinity. If the other party dares to jack up the price or play any tricks… Lin Liguo’s lips curled up into a cruel and vicious smile. He can just push the other party into the pond…
Leeches will teach the threat a lesson and suck his blood dry!
In the dead of night, Lin Liguo searched for a long coat, scarf, sunglasses, and other items from his closet. He covered his face and rushed to the pond in the backyard with a suitcase filled with cash. He saw a skinny figure standing in the distance. The person was wearing a cap and a thick scarf, so his facial features could not be seen.
“Where’s the stuff?”
Lin Liguo wanted to continue walking forward, but he heard an electric sound produced from a voice changer. “Put the box on the ground and throw it over.”
“When I see the money, I will naturally give it to you!”
Quite vigilant?
Lin Liguo threw it over as per the person’s request. Wu Mei bent down to pick up the box and looked at the notes inside. She narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, It’s really him!
“Now, use the folding knife on the ground to cripple your hands. Otherwise, I will still send the evidence to the Li Family!”
When Lin Liguo heard her unreasonable request, he immediately questioned, “That’s impossible!”
“I’ve already fulfilled your condition. Hurry up and give me the phone…”
Furious, Lin Liguo rushed over and wanted to grab Wu Mei’s scarf to rip off her disguise. However, his speed and strength were inferior to Wu Mei’s. As the two of them fought, Lin Liguo turned around and glanced at the pond in front of him. He turned around and wanted to push Wu Mei’s shoulder to shove her in.
