Leng Yixing echoed over the phone, "That’s for sure, but what now? He has taken away all the surveillance footage, and he’s the only one in the world who has it."
Lu Jinyang massaged his temples with a headache, "Try to contact him. Fifty million at most."
"Fifty million? No offense, but I think ten million is the ceiling. Anything more is extortion. Jinyang, don’t you want to...?"
"No need. That’s the amount. If he doesn’t take it, I’ll just have soone pull him out and kidnap his family."
Leng Yixing was troubled, but he knew that they had to get their hands on the video.
After hanging up, he sent an email to that person, saying, "Deal! But you get fifty million first, the rest after we receive the video will be transferred to you."
Soon enough, a bank account number was sent in reply.
After calling Lu Jinyang to confirm, Leng Yixing had finance transfer fifty million to that account and kept an eye on it to imdiately track the location should any funds be moved.
It has to be said that this little insider was clever, knowing to provide a virtual account to avoid exposing his real identity.
Late into the night, unable to fend off sleepiness, Leng Yixing dozed off at his desk, even missing the ringing of his phone on the desk.
When he woke up, he realized things had gone south.
The money transferred was shuffled around several tis by the insider and its trail was lost.
Frustrated, Leng Yixing stomped his feet, opened his inbox, and found that an email had arrived shortly after he made the transfer.
It was the remaining half of the video.
He quickly downloaded it, saved copies to several different USB drives, grabbed his computer and the USBs, and left in haste~

Lu Jinyang’s gaze was fixed on the man in the video; Leng Yixing stood by his side, not daring to breathe too loudly.
It was crucial; they would be able to see the man’s face once he turned his head in the video.
However, the mont the man in the video turned his head, Lu Jinyang was deeply shocked.
Leng Yixing was also astounded, yet his surprise was nothing compared to Lu Jinyang’s.
"It’s actually him!"
After a brief mont of shock, Lu Jinyang regained his composure, "So it was him..."
Thinking of sothing, Lu Jinyang was about to make a call, but just then, his phone started ringing.
"Boss, we’ve found out why Song Zhiqing returned to the country, it has to do with a woman," Peng Yi’s voice ca through from the other end of the line. Since he was close by, Leng Yixing also heard Peng Yi’s voice clearly.
After exchanging a glance, Lu Jinyang said in a low voice: "Keep an eye on him. Also, tell He Ning to keep a close watch on Xiao Sewei."
"Yes!"
The call had just ended when Leng Yixing, impatient, asked, "Song Zhiqing ca back for a woman, how co I’ve never heard about him being involved with any woman?"
Lu Jinyang glanced at him indifferently, "There’s a lot you don’t know."
Leng Yixing: "..."
After pondering for a mont, Lu Jinyang said, "Go head over to He Ning."
One hour later
Walking along the road, Leng Yixing watched a man and a woman walking arm in arm ahead of him, having to swallow endless amounts of ’dog food’ on the way.
On their way to He Ning’s place, Lu Jinyang suddenly spoke, "Take a detour to Lu Mansion to pick up Xiao Qing."
At that ti, Leng Yixing really wanted to say it would take an extra fifteen minutes; how was that on the way?
But he admitted he was a coward and didn’t have the guts to act up in front of Lu Jinyang.
