“500,000 dollars max!” Qiao Mei said.

“One million dollars or no go!” the scar-faced man said loudly.

“Fine! One million then!” Qiao Mei said through gritted teeth.

Brother Bin suddenly started laughing loudly. He looked at Qiao Mei and said with a smile, “Although one million dollars can save you, this bit of money can’t buy our lives.”

“The three of us are on the wanted list and the bounty on our heads adds up to 10 million dollars. You should ask for more, otherwise it’s quite meaningless,” said the man who had been standing beside Brother Bin.

“Ah Kun, don’t say that. They’re not even worth 500 dollars! Don’t hurt their fragile egos,” Brother Bin said mockingly.

The scar-faced man yelled a command and his underlings charged forward fearlessly from behind him. Lao Mo shot one of the underlings in the leg twice and all of them stopped in their paths.

Brother Bin slowly took out a gun from his back pocket and pointed it at the scar-faced man. “You can think about it while I count to three. Either you and your guys get lost immediately or you become target practice for us. We can have some fun here.”

The scar-faced man went forward and carried his wounded underling on his back. The group of men left the abandoned warehouse without looking back. Qiao Mei shook her head resignedly. Fists were never a match for guns.

“Brother Bin, it’s not a good idea for us to let them off. What if they go to the police?” Ah Kun asked.

“Do you think they have the guts to do that? If they really go to the police, they’ll get my respect!” Brother Bin said.

After leaving the warehouse, the scar-faced man and his team did not go far. They hid nearby and quietly observed the situation in the warehouse. The few underlings who did not get into the jeep earlier had also arrived. A few of them brought the injured man to get treatment, while the rest stayed behind and waited for an opportunity to surface.

The ransom of five million dollars was still on the way and they wanted to find a chance to steal the money. Pride was not as important as money. So long as this matter had not ended, it was still uncertain who would eventually end up with the money!

After getting rid of the scar-faced man, it was time to deal with Qiao Mei and Gao Lin. Brother Bin and the other two men sized up Qiao Mei. They had been in this line of work for so many years and had seen all kinds of people, but a beautiful woman like Qiao Mei was really rare to come by. It was no wonder that their boss was so obsessed with her.

“Let her go. As long as you let her go, you can do whatever you want to me! You can get as much money as you want!” Gao Lin said as he shielded Qiao Mei behind him.

“Why will we want the life of an old man like you? It’s better to get the beauty! At least the three of us can have a good time!” Ah Kun said disdainfully.

“Well, it’s not impossible if you can give us 10 million dollars,” Brother Bin said expectantly.

“No problem!” Qiao Mei said definitively.

Brother Bin looked at Qiao Mei in shock. He knew that Qiao Mei and Gao Lin were very rich, but he did not know that they were able to fork out so much money at once.

“Then go and get the money,” Brother Bin said.

“How am I supposed to pass so much money to you?” Qiao Mei said.

“You’re a big boss, don’t you have a secretary? Even if you don’t have a secretary, you must have a helper. Ask them to send the money over,” Brother Bin said.

“At this hour, the bank is already closed. Moreover, it will take three days to withdraw such a large sum of money,” Qiao Mei said.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter outside the door. Qiao Mei immediately recognized the owner of the voice. She looked towards the door and said, “Long time no see, Huang Quan.”

“I certainly don’t expect the famous Boss Qiao to still remember me. What a pleasant surprise,” Huang Quan said through gritted teeth.

No wonder these people kept asking her for five million dollars. The goods which Huang Quan lost and all the losses incurred by the factory added up to nearly five million dollars. Huang Quan was actually hoping to recover this amount of money from Qiao Mei.

“How have you been recently?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.

“You still have the cheek to ask me this question! It’s all thanks to you that my life is a mess! I owe so many debts because of you! You must pay the price for this!” Huang Quan said.

The Huang family had gone bankrupt. He had gone to ask He Ning for help, but when He Ning heard that it was Qiao Mei who did all this, He Ning immediately sided with Qiao Mei.
