Chapter 1216: Trouble came!

Chapter 1216: Trouble came!

After breakfast.

The Presidential Suite was quiet.

Five seconds…

Ten seconds…

No one said a word.

Dong Xuebing does not talk because he does not know the twin sisters, and they dislike him. The sisters are wary of outsiders like Dong Xuebing and do not want to let him know more. Zhang Longjuan was drinking wine and smoking on the couch.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the room’s phone ringing.

Ring… ring… ring…

Shen Xiaomei looked at the phone and answered it. Her face immediately changed.

Shen Xiaoyan knew what happened and made a hand gesture.

Shen Xiaomei nodded and turned on the phone speakers.

Zhang Longjuan narrowed her eyes and looked at them with Dong Xuebing.

A man said with a hoarse voice. “Ms. Zhang, the time is almost up. You have received our letter and should prepare the money. Although the money is not for us, it is the same. Don’t ask how we know about you. We have been watching your every movement since you came. We know where you have been and which hotel you are staying in. We accept HKD and USD. Place the money at the place we tell you. Wait for our call. We want two million USD.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “How do you know me?”

That man laughed. “You don’t need to know.”

Zhang Longjuan said. “You all are interesting. It’s fine if you all got something to blackmail me. But why are you demanding money from me without anything? Why should I give you?”

That man laughed. “I don’t need any reason to demand money from you. You are buying your life with money, and you can refuse if you think your life is not worth it.”

Zhang Longjuan said. “Are you going to kill me?”

“Maybe not.”

“Haha… I think so too.”

“But we can destroy your reputation easily. Haha… I heard you are beautiful and sexy for someone in the forties.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Thank you.”

The man said. “We want to have a taste of your body. Don’t blame us if we don’t see the money. I respect you for building a successful business. It would be bad if you were caught on camera when we take turns with you.”

Zhang Longjuan crossed her legs and said. “I am happy to know so many people are interested in my body at my age.”

“Yes. We are very interested.”

“Haha… thank you.”

“Prepare the money and wait for our call at noon.”

The line was cut.

Zhang Longjuan laughed and thought nothing about it.

However, Dong Xuebing’s eyes turned cold. The threats over the phone are too disgusting, and that man is too arrogant.

The twin sisters were also looking terrible.

Shen Xiaoyan said. “Do you know who that man is?”

Zhang Longjuan shook her head. “I have never heard his voice before. I should not know him.”

Shen Xiaomei asked. “Could it be you had offended or clashed with someone?”

Zhang Longjuan said with a cigarette between her lips. “I can tell this is not about money from his tone. The person behind this man knows me well and has kept track of my movements. But I cannot guess who it is. It might be those few people who lost all their fortunes to me at the Macau casino previously. I seldom come here for business and should not have offended anyone here. Those people have the highest possibility.”

Shen Xiaoyan said. “Who are they? I will check them out.”

Zhang Longjuan shook her head. “You cannot find anything as I forgot their names. Maybe I can recognize them when I see them. It was many years ago.”

Shen Xiaoyan frowned. “Then we can only wait?”

“Let’s wait and see what they do.”

“It will be too passive. Should we move to another hotel?”

“It is meaningless. They can find out where we are staying the first time, and they can find out the second time. It will boost their confidence if we try to hide from them.”

“They should have more than a dozen people from that man’s tone. If we clash with them… Should we contact the local authorities?” Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei were confident in their combat skills and marksmanship. However, it will be hard for them to face so many people.

“Do you think I never tried?”

“You have called the police?”

Zhang Longjuan smiled. “But nothing was heard from the police until now. My guess is they have connections with the police. I am a businessman who is less influential than the local gangsters.”

Shen Xiaoyan paused for a second. “I think I should inform the higher-ups.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “They don’t dare to kill me, which is not serious. Everything will be fine. Also, the higher-up will not send anyone as we are on a confidential mission. I also don’t want too many dealings with the State Security. What if the backup they sent exposed my identity? How am I going to do business in Florida?”

The sisters heard about the Florida Research Center incident and knew Ms. Zhang might be a part of it. But they don’t know the details.

Zhang Longjuan’s identity cannot be exposed.

The higher-ups cannot send people to help them.

They must settle this by themselves.

Zhang Longjuan has no intention of giving them money. Dong Xuebing’s arrival also gave her confidence. She turned and looked at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing nodded.

Zhang Longjuan looked at his arm.

Dong Xuebing smiled and continued to nod, indicating he was fine. He can still fight off dozens of people.
