In the apartment.
“A text came.” The phone prompt was heard.
Austin Zhou took out his phone and glanced at the contents of the message. He thought it was an insignificant message but he was shocked.
Austin Zhou’s eyes shrank violently and his body froze. A strange number sent him such a message: Give me 50 million. Otherwise, Florence Li’s safety would not be guaranteed.
Austin Zhou clicked open and saw that Florence Li’s travel time and photos showed that someone had been following her.
At this moment, Austin Zhou was still calm. He stared at the phone screen for a while before dialing the number.
The other party refused to pick up and replied with a text: There is no need to waste your energy. You’d better quickly take out fifty million.
Who could this be?
Austin Zhou started to worry about Florence Li. His handsome face was gradually covered with a layer of gloom and it was difficult to dissipate. He was really worried about her. He didn’t know if she knew that she was in danger now.
Florence Li was completely unaware of this matter. When Austin Zhou called, she still smiled brightly.
“Austin Zhou, what’s wrong? Is there anything you need?” Florence Li was still watching a drama just now, so she felt a little happy in her heart. Now that Austin Zhou called, she was naturally happy too.
“Jing Zhi, I want to know, where are you now?” Austin Zhou’s tone was no different from usual, so he couldn’t tell that he was annoyed.
For the ignorant Florence Li, she was naturally speak the plain truth, “I’m at home. What’s wrong? Do you want to ask me out for dinner or tea?”
Florence Li’s tone was very relaxed. She didn’t seem to know that she was being followed and taken photos. Since that was the case, Austin Zhou felt a little relieved.
“It’s alright. I wanted to ask you out, but I can’t see it now. I just received an email and I have something to do. So, I’ll meet again another day.” Austin Zhou said calmly. Because she was separated by the screen, Florence Li didn’t know what kind of mood he was feeling right now and couldn’t hear anything strange.
“Alright, let’s make another appointment then. Let’s go first, bye bye.” Florence Li pouted and said something disappointed, but her heart was still a little bit.
Austin Zhou would rather Florence Li not know that she would solve it himself.
However, this was $ 50 million. Where did he have so much money now?
Austin Zhou’s chest seemed to have been pressed down by a big stone. He was having difficulty breathing. After he adjusted his mood, he fell into meditation.
After a long time, Austin Zhou came up with a solution. All he could do was find Si Yun to borrow.
Shi Yun looked leisurely as she drank her coffee. Seeing that Austin Zhou was here, she didn’t feel guilty at all. Instead, she asked for her purpose, “Tell me, if there’s anything I can help you, I’ll help you.”
Even Si Yun could not believe Austin Zhou’s persistence. It was an indisputable fact that she liked Austin Zhou. She was afraid that he didn’t have her in his heart, so she still wanted to marry him, so she came up with such a solution.
Austin Zhou told her about the trouble he had encountered. After hearing that, Shi Yun pretended to be shocked, “Fifty million?” This is not a small sum! That person wants money to go crazy to threaten you like this, right?
Shaking his head, Austin Zhou felt that the other party just wanted money. His tone was serious, “I don’t know, but this person must have been premeditated long ago. Otherwise, there won’t be so many photos of Florence Li.”
Austin Zhou never thought that it was Si Yun who did it. He thought it was someone who was targeting Florence Li in secret.
Shi Yun took a sip of coffee and raised her eyebrows. “So, you came to ask me to borrow money?”
Austin Zhou let out an “Mhm” and his eyes were full of sincerity. It seemed that Florence Li was not as important to him.
It wasn’t a day or two for her to hate Florence Li, but Austin Zhou’s attitude towards her was far worse than her. Even Austin Zhou’s girlfriend still felt uneasy and anxious.
“How did you know that I would lend you?” Si Yun asked again.
Austin Zhou had never thought about this problem, and he came to see Si Yun out of resignation. He didn’t have the ability to lend him money at once, so only Shi Yun could lend him money at once. Besides, based on his past feelings, Si Yun would definitely borrow it.
“Si Yun,” Austin Zhou said softly, “Help me this time, alright?”
He had already lowered his voice and lowered his posture. If Shi Yun still didn’t want to agree to help him, then he would think of another way.
Si Yun thought to herself when Austin Zhou had become like this, so he didn’t talk to her strongly. He probably only acted like this when he had a request.
“It’s not impossible to help you.” Shi Yun had bought a curse. She wanted to propose conditions, otherwise how could she achieve her goal?
Austin Zhou frowned and stared at her bright and beautiful face with deep eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts at a glance. “Tell me, if you have any conditions, I will promise you but don’t go too far.”
Si Yun smirked. She was too much? In Austin Zhou’s eyes, he was always too unreasonable and unreasonable?
Huh, this is really sarcastic.
“I don’t think my condition is too much. If you can’t accept it, you can leave. Don’t come to me when something happens to Florence Li.” Shi Yun was like a child. She dared to say these things but Austin Zhou didn’t dare to do it.
He hadn’t gotten the money yet, so how could he leave?
Austin Zhou’s expression remained unchanged. His tone was a little distant and indifferent, “Then I’ll trouble you to talk about the conditions.”
Having experienced a lot over the past few days, Austin Zhou gradually saw his heart. Whether he really liked Si Yun or liked Florence Li wandering between these two women, he felt very disappointed towards Si Yun and his love for her still existed.
Florence Li was just a simple friend. Now that she was threatened, she was blackmailed.
Initially, she planned to report the crime and take out the number for the police to investigate, but when she thought about it, Florence Li’s safety was even worse. If the people who blackmailed him knew that he was doing this, Florence Li would definitely pay the price.
That was one of the reasons why Austin Zhou came to see Si Yun.
“My conditions are simple. I won’t make things difficult for you. I just want you to go abroad with me.” Shi Yun smiled, but the smile was not in her eyes.
This was what she planned to achieve her goals through this matter. In the future, Austin Zhou and Florence Li had to be cut off. She could only be alone abroad.
Seeing that Austin Zhou’s face was frozen, she asked faintly, “What, are you unwilling to agree?”
