Jia Ling glared at him impatiently. “Can’t we talk later?” Unravel the Unknown, Unleash the Unimaginable: N♡vεlB¡n.

At this moment, the man’s voice came from the other end of the phone again. “20,000.”

Jia Ling’s pupils widened, as if she could not believe the number she had heard. “How much? Are you crazy? How is a student like her worth so much money? Don’t even think about taking advantage of the situation. You know the reason why I’m looking for you. It’s because we’ve worked together before. You’re raising the price now. Are you planning to stop after earning this deal?”

The leader was not afraid of being threatened. Instead, his gaze became even fiercer. He had failed because he trusted this b*tch.

Thinking of what he had just experienced, he even felt that 20,000 yuan was too little.

Cui Hong, who had heard the entire contents, was enveloped by a huge anger. He looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief and felt that she was unfamiliar.

Jia Ling had indeed been very scheming in the past, but she had never hurt anyone. He had just turned a blind eye. Why had she become like this?

“Jia Ling, you’d better not be talking about Gu Man.” Cui Hong gritted his teeth, still holding some hope in his heart.

However, he had called many times just now, but Gu Man did not answer. It was very likely that she was doomed.

Jia Ling snorted and ignored Cui Hong. Instead, she said to the other end of the phone, “20,000 yuan is impossible. You’d better think carefully before saying anything. That’s not the answer 1 want to hear later.”

With that, Jia Ling hung up and glared at Cui Hong, not giving him a chance to speak. “What are you doing? Can’t you see that I’m on the phone with someone else? Besides, why are you so agitated? Didn’t you agree previously? Why are you pretending to be a good person now? Don’t tell me you’re still afraid of Old Master?”

Cui Hong’s heart turned cold. Since Jia Ling had already said so, it seemed like that person was indeed Gu Man. He could not care less and said anxiously, “Call the kidnappers immediately and stop the operation.”

“What do you mean? Don’t even think about stopping now. They’re just one step away. 1 won’t let go.” Jia Ling glanced at Cui Hong’s face and didn’t take his words to heart at all. She turned around and went about her business.

Cui Hong staggered back two or three steps. Then, he rushed forward and slapped Jia Ling’s face. “Do you know what you’re doing?”

He almost revealed Gu Man’s identity, but he hesitated.

Just as Old Master Cui had said, once Jia Ling found out about this, she would definitely not let it go. Something even worse than today might happen. At that time, it might cause even more trouble.

The reason why he did not warn Jia Ling was because he thought that Jia Ling was only threatening her verbally and would not do anything practical.

He did not expect Jia Ling to do such a thing for the sake of her business.

Jia Ling covered her swollen face and looked at Cui Hong in disbelief. “You actually dared to hit me. Don’t 1 know what I’m doing? Who am I doing this for? Isn’t it for this family? Was 1 the one who gave away the assets? I have to clean up the mess he made on an impulse. What can I do? 1 can only use these methods.”

Jia Ling bit her lower lip and tears welled up in her eyes. She did not understand. She was clearly doing this for the good of the Cui family, but she had to be scolded, beaten, and not understood.

When Cui Hong heard this, he was even angrier. He took a few deep breaths but could not suppress the anger in his heart. His face was cold. “You’d better think carefully about how to save this matter. If anything happens to Gu Man, I’ll be the first to not forgive you!”

“Something happened? What happened? Jia Ling! What did you do again?” At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from the door.

When Cui Hong heard this voice, his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously turned around and saw Old Master Cui standing in front of the open door, his eyes wide with anger.

“What were you talking about just now? Is it related to Gu Man?” When he spoke, he looked dignified without being angry. He stared fixedly at Jia Ling, as if he wanted to see through her soul.

Cui Hong felt extremely guilty. He blocked Jia Ling and pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer this question..
