Chapter 292
“What do you want?”
The man was obviously not at the scene, but it seemed like he was able to picture Sheng Lian shivering in panic. He also knew that Sheng Lian would ask, so he smiled contemptuously, full of ridicule.
“If you want me to shut up, of course, it depends on whether you are sincere enough.”
When Sheng Lian first received the call, he had already guessed the other party’s intentions. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to obey.
Feeling Sheng Lian’s silence, the man on the other end of the call suddenly became impatient.
“Have you thought about it? I don’t have much time for you. If you still want to keep your current wealth and honour, be sensible.”
Sheng Lian swallowed, knowing that he had no retreat: “How much do you want?”
The man sneered: “Give me five million within a week.”
“Otherwise, not only will you suffer, but your daughter Sheng Man will as well.”
It was not that Sheng Lian couldn’t take out that amount at all, but it was still a huge amount for him. However, as soon as Sheng Lian heard the man mention Sheng Man, he became even more flustered and immediately agreed.
“Okay…okay, I will give you five million.”
After Sheng Lian’s promise, the man hung up.
After the call ended, Sheng Lian’s body instantly softened and he leaned against the wall to support himself. He went back to the car once he had barely calmed down.
The driver glanced at Sheng Lian from the rearview mirror. Although the light was dim inside the car, he could still see that Sheng Lian’s face was extremely ugly.
He didn’t know what kind of conversation Sheng Lian had on the call just now which made him like this, but he didn’t dare to inquire about Sheng Lian’s matters, so he cautiously asked in a low voice, “Sir, should we head home?”
Sheng Lian, who was sitting in the car, only came back to his senses when he heard the driver’s question. His voice was hoarse and full of fatigue, as if that phone call just now exhausted all his strength and energy.
“Let’s go.”
The car started, drove out of the empty parking lot, and disappeared into the traffic.
At night, the whole city was brightly lit, forming a dazzling scene outside, but Sheng Lian’s thoughts had long drifted away to appreciate it.
The trafficker was called Liu Cang. Although Sheng Lian was not sure if it was his real name, many people knew that Liu Cang specialized in child trafficking and had done a lot of immoral things.
The reason why Sheng Lian cooperated with Liu Cang was really that he had nowhere to go.
Compared with his current life, he had a very difficult life before, because he often gambled and owed a lot of money.
When Sheng Lian was chased by his creditors, he had to go to the Sheng family to ask for help. At that time, he saw Sheng Luo, the only daughter of the Sheng family for the first time.
The head of the Sheng family and his wife had only one daughter, Sheng Luo, who grew up pampered from childhood. If nothing happened, all the future businesses of the Sheng family would be taken over by her.
At that time, an insidious thought took root in Sheng Lian’s heart. If only his daughter could be like Sheng Luo, that would be great.
However, he was not close to the Sheng family at all. At most, he could only be considered as their distant relative.
It wasn’t until the second time that Sheng Lian was pursued for his debts, he made up his mind to do a desperate deed. If he succeeded, he would be prosperous.
