Little did he know, i Shu was much more exhausted when she first took over the company than she was now. To deal with those defiant directors, she had to put in a lot of effort to sideline their power.
i Shu had no intention of telling them about this, which would only increase their pressure for no reason. Instead, she changed the subject and smiled, asking them to eat first.
Tang i had just taken a bite of rice when the phone suddenly rang.
She apologized and quickly got up to answer it. “Hello, Mom, okay, I understand. Don’t worry, 1’11 call Xiao Long first to see where he is. Don’t get angry. It’s not good for your health.”
“What’s wrong?” i Shu put down her chopsticks and walked over to inquire.
Tang i hung up the phone and shook her head. “It’s a family matter, I can handle it. President i, you don’t need to worry about .”
“That’s good.” i Shu, sowhat skeptical, was about to go back with her to continue eating, but Tang i’s phone rang again.
This ti, Tang i hurriedly answered the phone, not caring that i Shu was still present, and asked directly, “Xiao Long, where are you? Do you know how worried Mom is about you?”
“Are you Tang i, Tang Long’s sister?” A stranger’s voice with a hint of provocation ca through the receiver.
Tang i felt a sense of unease and panic. “Who are you? How can you use my brother’s phone number?”
The man sneered, his voice nacing. “It’s enough that you admit you’re his sister. Listen, your brother owes our casino three million. You better bring the money tonight, or I’ll dig out your brother’s kidney to cover the debt and break one of his legs. Do you understand?”
“A casino? How could my brother be there? Let talk to my brother. I want to hear his voice. Otherwise, how do 1 know if you’re a scamr?” Tang i said helplessly, looking at i Shu.
At the sa ti, i Shu had already located the caller with her phone. She quickly nodded, whispering to Tang i that she had found the caller’s specific location.
Only then did Tang i feel relieved.
The man on the phone was very arrogant, and Tang i didn’t know what he had done. There was a sudden scream from the other end of the line, followed by Tang Long’s voice, “Sis, sis, please save ! I don’t want to die! They’re going to take out my kidney! Sis, didn’t you say you were working in a big company and could make a lot of money?”
“You said your boss is good to you. Can’t you talk to her and get her to lend you three million to pay off my debt? Otherwise, they’re going to take out my kidney. I can’t live without a kidney!”
“Xiao Long! Did you really go gambling?” Tang i couldn’t help but roar angrily. “You’re never ho, and I thought you had found a decent job. I didn’t expect you to go gambling! Can you face Mom with what you’ve done?”
“Sis! I did it to make big money! I can only get rich by gambling, sis, save !”
As the conversation progressed, Tang Long’s voice beca fainter and fainter, and then there was the sound of sothing heavy falling to the ground, obviously soone had deliberately taken Tang Long aside.
The man, who had been arrogant just now, took the phone again. “Listen, if you dare to call the police, your brother will end up dead. Prepare the money first, and I’ll contact you later. If you can’t co up with it, you should know the consequences!”
Tang i hurriedly said, “Hey, don’t hurt my brother! I’ll find a way to get you the money!”
But before she could finish her sentence, there was a busy tone on the phone.
She put down her phone with a blank expression, still sowhat stunned and unable to co to her senses.
How could her brother, who was usually fine, end up gambling?
Although he was lazy and playful, he wasn’t the type to gamble!
How could things have turned out like this?
Where was she going to find three million?
“Don’t panic yet.” Seeing Tang i on the verge of collapse, i Shu quickly comforted her. “You can rest assured that I will help you figure out what to do about your brother.”
“Really, President i?” Tang i’s eyes lit up with a glimr of hope, but that spark quickly faded. “But 1 don’t have that much money to redeem my brother, and I can’t borrow so much money from you. I can’t pay it back, and I can’t report it to the police. If Mom finds out, she’ll definitely faint. She’s always had a bad heart, and if sothing happens to my brother…”
“Tang i, don’t scare yourself unnecessarily,” i Shu said calmly, helping her analyze the situation. “We still have an afternoon before evening. Let’s calm down and think of a solution. Give so ti, I should be able to find out the identity of the other party and see if there’s another way to save your brother. Of course, from a rational perspective, I still advise you to report to the authorities.”
Tang i looked up in astonishnt, eting i Shu’s resolute gaze. “But I’m afraid they might really harm my brother…”
i Shu shook her head and grasped Tang i’s hand firmly. “Don’t be afraid. Promise not to do anything foolish. 1 might have a way to find out the identity of those people.”
“President i,” Tang i said gratefully, tears welling up in her eyes. She hadn’t expected i Shu to remain so rational and considerate upon hearing about the crisis in her family..
