Chapter 1128: An Exorbitant Demand

Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin’s eyes widened in surprise.     

Let alone him, even if Han Yuanjun were to withdraw one billion in cash, it would still be impossible!     

Although the market value of the company was in the hundreds of millions, but that was the sum of real estate and liquidity. Who could take out that much money in one go?     

Even if Hou Shihong sold all the assets of the Hou Family, he still would not be able to collect the one billion.     

Both Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin did not dare to say anything but only looked at Han Yuanjun anxiously.

Han Yuanjun took a deep breath and laughed helplessly. “He Wuhan, you are asking for an exorbitant demand. One billion? Heh … Ordinary people may not know, but how can you not know? Who can suddenly withdraw one billion in cash all at once? You are making things difficult for me.”     

“I’m making things difficult for you?” He Wuhan sneered, “When your wife made things difficult for me, did you consider what would happen to me? Not only have I lost the Tsingtao Group, but I have also become a street rat because of her! I only asked for a little, yet, you already said I troubled you? Whether it is impossible or not, in the end, I will end up dead. When that happens, I will drag your child to hell with me!”     

No one wouldn’t believe the words of a fugitive.     

As He Wuhan said, he would die no matter what. So it was a bit strange if he did not drag the child to die with him!     

For this kind of person, the more he met the dead end, the more he was willing to do anything. He had no bottom line.     

Han Yuanjun made his last fight. “He Wuhan, the child is innocent. If you have a conscience, please bring him back to us safely.”     

“What conscience do I have now?” He Wuhan was very angry. His ferocious voice sounded from the receiver, “Han Yuanjun, if you don’t fulfill my demand, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life! One billion cash and a private jet are the least you can give me! Otherwise, I will strangle your child to death right now!”     

Suddenly, a baby’s crying sounded from the phone. The cries were so heartbreaking as if the child was screaming at the top of its lungs. When they heard it, they immediately knew that He Wuhan was doing something to the child.     

Liang Zixuan and Wei Xiaoqing were both mothers. Their hearts sank when they heard the child’s cry. Their faces contorted in pain and they wished they could take the child’s place and experience the pain themselves.     

“He Wuhan!” Han Yuanjun called out to him anxiously.     

He Wuhan’s voice calmed down a little. “What, have you thought it over?”     

“Fine! But you should know that it is completely impossible to collect all the money overnight. Give me three days, and I’ll give you the money!” Han Yuanjun said anxiously.     

He Wuhan laughed and the child’s crying finally stopped. Although the child was still crying, the cries were no longer as heart-wrenching as they had been a moment ago.     

“What, three days? I’m only giving you one day! I’ll call you again tomorrow at this time. Han Yuanjun, remember this well. One billion in cash and a private jet. You can’t miss any of that!”     

The phone call was disconnected immediately.     

Wei Xiaoqing sat on the ground as if she had lost her soul. Her face was very pale.     

Han Yuanjun slowly put down his phone and looked tiredly at Liang Zixuan. When he saw that her face was also pale, he took her in his arms.     

Everyone… Seeing that Han Yuanjun and Liang Zixuan didn’t say anything, they didn’t dare to say anything either.     

Especially Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin. The two of them stared anxiously at Han Yuanjun and Liang Zixuan, hoping that they would share their views on this matter.     

Were they really going to give the one billion cash to He Wuhan?         

Han Yuanjun hugged Liang Zixuan as they walked over to the bench and sat down. From beginning to end, he said nothing.     

Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin were also worried. Even so, there was nothing they could do now. Hou Shihong pulled Yu Meilin’s hand and they both returned to their seats.     

Wei Xiaoqing looked at Han Yuanjun and Liang Zixuan, then looked at Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin. No one said anything about the money, and she immediately panicked.     

Without even standing up, she crawled toward Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin. Holding Hou Shihong’s pant leg with one hand and Yu Meilin’s with the other, she humbly pleaded, “Mom! Dad! Quickly collect the money! My child is still in He Wuhan’s hands. Hurry up and collect the money!”     

Hou Shihong kicked Wei Xiaoqing impatiently. He had a very ugly expression on his face. “You still dare to ask for a billion from us? If you hadn’t interrupted their conversation just now, would He Wuhan have succeeded in demanding all of that?!”     

Han Yuanjun was originally an expert in negotiation. For things like this, he could easily deal with He Wuhan.     

But as soon as Wei Xiaoqing spoke, Han Yuanjun had gone from active to passive. At that time, he had said that the child was not his. If Wei Xiaoqing did not open her mouth, would He Wuhan really be able to strangle the child on the spot?     

Wei Xiaoqing did not know that she had done something wrong. She rose from the ground crying and grabbed Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin’s pant legs again. “How can I be silent in such a situation? If I don’t say anything, what if He Wuhan really does something to my child? Dad, mom, just consider this as I’m begging you, okay? Please save my child!”     

“Save…save…save… How do you want us to save him?” Hou Shihong was so angry that he wanted to slap Wei Xiaoqing several times, but he resisted the urge and kicked her again in frustration. “One billion! Wei Xiaoqing, even if I sell Hou Clan, I will still not be able to sell it for one billion yuan! What do you want me to do?”     

While saying this, Hou Shihong deliberately glanced at Han Yuanjun.     

Wei Xiaoqing was a smart woman. She immediately understood Hou Shihong’s meaning.     

However –     

Begging Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin could still be considered begging to her family. Although Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin never considered her as their daughter-in-law, they were still her family.     

What were Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun?     

They were her enemies!     

Wanting her to go begging her enemies?     

Was that possible?     

Besides, even if she humbly begged Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun, would they really be willing to take out one billion for her to save the child?     

It was as Liang Zixuan said. The child was not theirs, and it was her fault that something like this happened.     

Would Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun really help her?
