The so-called biochemical bomb wasn’t an ordinary bomb which would create intense heat from detonation which would expand a large radius, reaching its goal of destruction. Biochemical bombs uses various kinds of special viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms; when detonated, they would spread out in all directions and invade the body.
This type of poison would usually make one rather die than live, even if they managed to survive, they would only be barely alive or have permanent incurable illnesses from it. It’s an inhumane weapon that’s been banned by the entire world.
The electronic voice on the phone was incredibly arrogant, but this sort of arrogance left one helpless, because everyone present felt fear towards death, not to mention it was a way of death that came with a lot of suffering!
Since you didn’t directly activate the bomb, you definitely have a goal, say it!
Li Deshen said.
The voice on the phone remained silent for a while, then said,
Chairman Li is still sharp. What I want is very simple. 20 million of Huaxia currency, I want it by tonight.
You want money?
Li Deshen glanced at everybody around him, many of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this person only wanted money, so there’s a chance to mediate the situation.
To the filthy rich Li Family, 20 million should be easy, right? I can control the situation within the villa at anytime, if I find out that you dared to call the police or large sums of people leave the villa, I will immediately detonate the bomb……
Li Deshen forcefully held back his anger,
That’s easy to say, even if we have the money, 20 million isn’t something that we can bring out just from a word. However, I agree to pay this 20 million, I hope that you abide by the rules of your game. Do you want the money to be transferred or withdrawn?
Transferred!? Do you think I’m stupid or do you think you’re stupid? I want cash, within an hour, send it to Jinzewan pier’s third warehouse. It has to be either Chairman Li or the Second Young Master of the Li Family who sends it. Whoever else that sends it doesn’t count, I will directly press the detonation button! Also, if I notice that there’s any staff or police following, I will also detonate the bomb!
Done with talking, the call was cut.
Several of those present gasped, this terrorist had actually demanded that people of the Li Family personally bring the money over. How is this demanding for money? This is obviously demanding a life!
Dad, it’s better to believe there is than to assume it doesn’t.
Li Muhua said with a stern expression.
Li Deshen sighed,
I know this, we can’t take this gamble. The money has to be sent over.
Of the important guests in Twilight Villa, there was at least over a hundred. If even one or two of them were killed by a biochemical bomb, the consequences would be unimaginable, the Li Family couldn’t take this risk!
Right at this time, a sissy voice was heard from afar, loudly shouting as he charged over,
Out of the way, out of the way! Get lost! Let me see my father!
Li Mucheng wore a pair of silk pajamas, and charged through the crowd of people while staggering. He fell in front of Li Deshen, and wailed in panic,
Dad! I heard someone say that there is a biochemical bomb in the villa!? Is this true!?
Hmph, you got this frightened just from a bomb? Pathetic!
Li Deshen angrily said.
Li Mucheng had an ashen face,
Dad, you have to find a way to deal with this, I’m still young, I don’t want to die! Wuwaa……
While talking, Li Mucheng actually began to wail.
Bastardly… bastardly thing… other than crying and wailing, what else can you do!?
Li Deshen was incredibly angered, at such a critical juncture, he had such a silly son, how could he not be angered!?
I’m already about to die, can’t I be allowed to cry!? Wuwaa……
Li Mucheng had snot and tears as if he was at a funeral.
Li Deshen truly couldn’t bear to look at him again, he waved his hand at several of his bodyguards and said,
Take this useless thing back to his room!
Several bodyguards immediately walked up, Li Meng who was the personal bodyguard of Li Mucheng helped him up, and quickly pulled Li Mucheng out of the tea room, but Li Mucheng’s wailing sounds could still be for a long time after.
Li Muhua watched his brother being dragged away, then sighed and said,
Dad, let me send the money.
You?
Li Deshen frowned,
No way, you still need to lead the Muyun Corporation in the future, the Li Family can’t afford to lose you, while that useless brother of yours is beyond hope. With just my old bones, there’s no point in keeping me around, it’s better that I send the money.
No way!
Li Muhua seriously said,
Dad, I can listen to you when it comes to other things, but not on this matter. As your son, if I watch you leap into danger like this without being able to stop you, if anything happens to you, I won’t know how to live on anymore!
Fool! Can’t you judge the order of importance!?
Li Muhua knelt on the floor without hesitation, and stared straight at Li Deshen who sat on the wheelchair,
Father, there’s nothing more important than you in my heart!
Everyone present became silent at this point, Li Muhua’s words reached deep in their hearts. In this moment, Li Muhua wasn’t just a talented and intelligent CEO who was young and great at managing, he wasn’t just the heir to a powerful family, he was most of all a simple and straightforward filial son.
Although Li Deshen always maintained a strict demeanor, hearing his favorite son say these words, he couldn’t help but tear.
-2: Importance
Little bastard… stand up, don’t kneel anymore.
Li Deshen deeply sighed like he had aged several years, but his wrinkled face revealed a gratified smile.
Dad, if you don’t let me go, I will not get up.
Li Muhua willfully said.
Li Deshen helplessly smiled,
I’m old, but my mind is still clear. I know that even if I don’t let you go now, you’ll definitely find a way to force your way there. You may not make me worry about you as much as your brother, but you still make me worry. Nevermind… I’ll listen to you, you may go.
Li Muhua finally breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up and said,
Thank you, Dad. I will get someone to prepare the 20 million, and personally send it.
Aye……
Li Deshen reached out and grabbed onto Li Muhua’s hand, he gripped it tightly,
Remember, as long as one lives, one will still have everything, don’t do anything rash!
I understand.
When everybody watched this scene, they all felt happy yet sad for them. For Li Deshen to have such a son was indeed the fortune of the Li Family, but it was a pity that this criminal did such a terrifying thing, forcing the Li Family to take such a risk.
At the same time, many people lamented, why is it that the Li Family’s child, Li Muhua’s elder brother Li Mucheng couldn’t help even a little bit, yet had to create more trouble!?
Everybody, please return to your posts, minimize the effect this matter has made. Make sure not to let the guests panic, pretend as if nothing happened!
Li Muhua loudly commanded all of the Li Family employees present.
The employees agreed in unison, they were very clear that the best thing to do right now was to pretend nothing had happened. Otherwise, if the guests panicked, the criminal may very well detonate the bomb!
After these employees left, Li Deshen brought his bodyguards and left the tea room. He trusted his son and left everything to him. This was obviously a message to Li Muhua that he has to live! Because he is needed for the future of the Li Family!
Li Muhua took a deep breath to calm his mind, then calmly said to Yang Chen and the others,
Everybody, I never thought that this time’s collaboration would attract so much trouble. I can’t think of any other perpetrators, the criminal this time may also be a ploy of the Xu Family. Although I don’t know why they are doing this, unfortunately, they’ve succeeded.
Boss Li, you can’t really be going, right!? This is clearly marching off to death without even knowing how you’re going to die!
Lu Tao may be afraid, but he was no moron, and attempted to dissuade Li Muhua.
Mo Qianni nodded, with creased brows she said,
I think it’s better if you notify the Hong Kong police, or something like the Flying Tigers, sending the money like this without any conditions attached will not help at all. You might even become the hostage of the criminal, and they will continue to extort money.
You guys should stop making irresponsible remarks.
Yang Chen said while comfortably stretching his waist,
In our current circumstance, we simply can’t take risks. Whether it is confirming the existence of the bomb or retreating from Twilight Villa, those ideas are all based on the precondition that the criminal does not know precise information of our location. Right now, it seems like the criminal obviously has a spy to report our every move here, perhaps that person is even amongst us, and is able to secretly inform the criminal at any time. As long as we do anything that goes against the wishes of the criminal, everybody will die an ugly death. Therefore, having Young Master Li send the money is the only solution.
Li Muhua bitterly smiled,
Mr. Yang’s analysis is very accurate, we have no other choice.
However, Li Junior you need not worry.
Yang Chen casually called Li Muhua
Li Junior
and said,
Since the criminal is so bored as to extort money, that means he doesn’t have much interest in our lives. Otherwise, he’d be asking for hundreds of millions, we wouldn’t even need to send the money, since it’s simply impossible to prepare so much money at a moment’s notice, we might as well wait for death to come.
I think so too, it would be best if the criminal wasn’t sent by the Xu Family. That way, things won’t be too dangerous for me. They would probably leave by the sea after taking the money, after all, Jinzewan is close to international waters.
Li Muhua followed up with his analysis and said,
To be honest with everybody, I’m a genuine black belt in Taekwondo. If there aren’t many of them, and they don’t carry powerful firearms, it wouldn’t be easy for them to harm me. After all, I can also carry a weapon.
With that said, everyone present returned to their senses. They never thought that there was so much to analyze regarding this matter.
Mo Qianni looked at Yang Chen weirdly, the latter was currently drinking the tea that had already cooled down, without a shred of arrogance or impatience……
Looks like Ruoxi didn’t choose him to be a representative for the talks solely because of interpersonal relationships……
Mo Qianni faintly smiled while thinking.
Since the next move has been settled, other than Li Muhua, the remaining people dispersed. Everyone else returned to their room to await for news, after all the criminal has said that if he notices many people escaping, he will detonate the bomb. Who knows just how many was many to the criminal? It was better not to test the limit.
Yang Chen and Mo Qianni walked towards their rooms together, when they were on the corridor to the guest rooms, Yang Chen suddenly stopped. With a smile, he said,
My mind is still too clear for me to fall asleep, I’ll go to the bar in the resort to have a few drinks before sleeping, you can go back without me.
With that said, he turned around and walked away.
Mo Qianni turned around to gaze at Yang Chen’s figure from behind, a tinge of suspicion was revealed in her eyes.
