Part Three Chapter 109 Blackmailed

down her spine."Tinglan, Dad has no way out."""What does it mean"Her father looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant, his face etched with weariness. "Wen Lan knows everything about me,"He wa...That night, Song Jingye had people look for the family's whereabouts. However, their village was remote and isolated, with little news coming in or out. No one knew where they had gone. 。He sent people to find the surveillance footage from every angle of the wedding photography spot and personally checked it. 。As usual, I saw her off to work this morning. Before she got out of the car, I reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this.” 。"Good"

I'll pick you up after work. 。

Good

Chen Ning walked into the unit under his watch. She didn't feel good, a feeling of impending disaster. 。

She was in a meeting when her phone vibrated non-stop, a series of unknown numbers. She hung up on them without answering.

By lunchtime, after the meeting, those unfamiliar numbers called again. 。"Hello Who is this" she answered. 。A distant, yet familiar, sinister voice suddenly came from the earphones: “Little girl, do you remember big brother”

Chen Ning's face turned white instantly, her hand holding the phone trembled slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm: "You got the wrong number" 。"

Chen Ninghui replied, "It turns out your name is Chen Ninghui, not Xiaoxuan." 。Hearing this name, Chen Ning's knuckles turned white as she gripped her phone. Even breathing seemed difficult for her. She had originally planned to just hang up and pretend not to know him. 。But the other party appeared in her sight again and again, was able to get her contact information, knew her work unit, she couldn't escape. 。In the meantime, the other person had grasped her psychology and continued to say in a sinister tone: "Congratulations, congratulations. From an ordinary rural woman, you have transformed into a diplomat with a bright future, and you have even married into a military family. Shouldn't you be grateful to me, your big brother, for not letting you be a widow for my younger brother" 。Those experiences, those marks they left on her, were now magnified infinitely. She sat in the office, her desk before her piled high with materials in languages from around the world, spanning every industry. The world was so vast, yet her heart was trapped back in that windowless black room, unable to find an exit. 。Her silence gave the other party an opportunity to be arrogant: "If you don't want past events to be exposed, give me 1 million by 6 pm today." 。And don't let your man check me, or you'll know the consequences. 。Chen Ning listened and finally spoke the second sentence of the day: "Then you go expose it." 。"He hung up the phone immediately after finishing his words, but his whole body felt like he was in an ice cellar.

The man wouldn't let it go and sent another text message: “One million to buy your future and a lifetime of happiness. Calculate for yourself if it's worth it” " 。Give me one million dollars, and I'll take this secret to the grave. I won't tell you a thing. 。Otherwise, I who am barefoot fear not he who is shod. Do as you will with yourself. 。"Behind it is his bank account number." 。Chen Ling looked back at the short line of words, a wave of nausea churning in her stomach. She rushed to the bathroom and vomited for a while before feeling better. When she came out, her forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat. 。She deleted this text message directly. 。It's lunchtime right now. Song Jingye sent her a message, "Have you eaten"

"I have" 。She replied briefly, seeming unable to face Song Jingye because of that man, even just a message. 。"I checked yesterday's surveillance footage from the scenic area this morning. Is this man" Song Jingye directly sent her a screenshot to confirm. 。Song Jingye's idea was simple: if it was indeed this man, he would go straight to him and talk. There was no way he would let the man appear in her sight again. 。Chen Ning instinctively put her phone face down on the table when she saw the screenshot. It took her a while to muster the courage to glance at it. 。。She's lying, being led around by that man, but she can't do anything about it. 。She had seen her life, stopping abruptly, falling sharply downward, like her heart plummeting out of control at this moment. 。"I'll go talk to him first and see what he wants to do." 。Song Jingye naturally didn't believe this was a coincidence. From the surveillance video, it could be seen that the man was intentionally following her. 。"Don't look for him first, okay Wait until I get home tonight and we can talk" She was almost begging Song Jingye. 。"Well, I'll pick you up after work." 。Chen Ning was restless all afternoon, but luckily there was no urgent work to deal with after the morning meeting. 。At 3 PM, the man texted: “Just reminding you, there are three hours left.” 。"

4:00 PM: "There are two hours left" 。5:00 PM: “One hour left” 。Every hour, like a bomb, messages would come. The last text message even included a photo of his deceased brother's grave. 。

Chen Ning felt nauseous again, and her back was covered in cold sweat. 。But after calming down, she replied, "I don't have any money". 。She thought, since the man's purpose was money, he wouldn't reveal his only bargaining chip before getting it. So she was calmer than this morning. 。"No money Your husband looks very wealthy, you can take out a loan. This amount of money is nothing to you people." 。"This is blackmail, if you call the police, you'll be in jail for ten years." 。Then you go report it to the police, and let them investigate what you did. 。Men have nothing to fear. 。Chen Ning's reply wasn't affected by his threat. First, she really didn't have any money. Second, she knew that this type of person would come back for more if given the chance. 。After a day's time, she had calmed down. At six o'clock in the evening, Song Jingye came to pick her up on time. She directly switched off her phone and went downstairs, getting into his car. 。

As soon as the car drove two steps, she suddenly saw a man kneeling at the entrance of her company on the roadside. He was holding a white sign in his hand that read: "Seek justice for my younger brother." 。The man obviously knew Song Jingye's car, so he knelt there, his eyes like a ghost staring at the glass of the passenger seat. Chen Ling closed her eyes and turned in another direction. 。

The car jolted suddenly, and Song Jingye abruptly turned the steering wheel towards the company gate. 。Over there, the guards are driving away a man who is holding a sign. He struggles while looking towards Song Jingye's car with determination. 。Chen Ling knew he was showing off, threatening her. 。

And Song Jingye also saw the man, frowning and turning around. 。"Don't go!" Panic surged through her, and she gripped Song Jingye's arm, which was as rigid as iron. 。"I'll go see what he's up to" Song Jingye had originally been listening to her and hadn't gone to find him to talk, but he actually dared to run up to her unit to make a scene. 。Chen Ling's face turned pale. She didn't want Song Jingye to meet the man: "Uncle, please, let's go home first." 。I don't want anyone at work to see that he's here to see me. 。Song Jingye still frowned, glancing at her: "Ningning, you didn't do anything wrong, there's no need to be afraid of him" 。He was very insistent on going at first, but seeing her extremely ugly expression and realizing their unit’s guards had already driven the man away, he had no choice but to give up and go home first. 。 Eve, and it had nothing to do with Gu Ruandong anymore. But coincidentally, a friend of both Gu Ruandong and Wang, Chen Xinmin, came from the mainland with a group. Since it used to be Gu Ruandong's...
