Chapter 2261 — Premeditated
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
When Li Biaohan received An Liwen's call, he was at the boxing club soothing his underlings. Because of the trouble when Wei Zhao had come kicking at their doors last time, the whole club was on edge. Watching that Audi Q7 parked brazenly downstairs every day, plenty of the boys were frightened out of their wits, afraid Wei Zhao would come looking for trouble again.
What could be done? Who could blame them, when even Li Biaohan had been humiliated? Though he had done his best to reassure them, some new members had still quit the club. Watching this fresh blood walk away, Li Biaohan was furious, yet helpless.
With fewer people to collect protection money for him and force sales on his behalf, Li Biaohan's income had naturally shrunk. Peddling to freshmen in their dorms, extorting them—all of that took manpower. Seeing his take dwindle, Li Biaohan was in a foul mood.
The phone rang. When Li Biaohan saw the caller ID, he was instantly excited! He knew An Liwen had been planning some big job for him lately, and a call now surely meant something had come together!
"Brother Wen!" Li Biaohan answered respectfully.
"Come over here now. That matter I mentioned to you last time can proceed," An Liwen said.
"Yes!" Li Biaohan was wild with joy and hastily agreed.
Half an hour later, Li Biaohan appeared respectfully in An Liwen's room. "Greetings, Brother Wen. Greetings, Brother Big Mule!"
"Enough, no need for courtesies. Sit and talk," An Liwen said with a wave of his hand. "What I need are people who can get things done, not flatterers. The work ahead will require your wholehearted cooperation with Big Mule and the others! Finding and investigating the targets is your job; as for the snatching, Big Mule will arrange for test subject No. 02 to handle it!"
"Yes!" Li Biaohan nodded excitedly. "Brother Wen, I've actually already picked out the first target!"
"Already picked? What does the family do? How much can we squeeze out of them? Let me tell you, with this kidnapping business of ours, the starting price is ten million at the very least—any less and it's not worth the trouble!" An Liwen's appetite was vast; long accustomed to big ventures with no capital outlay, he named tens of millions without a blink.
"It's Wang Xinyan!" Li Biaohan said.
"Wang Xinyan? Who's that?" The name was somewhat unfamiliar to An Liwen. "What does her family do? How much can they pay?"
"This Wang Xinyan is Wei Zhao's girlfriend at school. Her family's in the pharmaceutical business—coughing up ten million would be easy for them!" Over this time Li Biaohan had dug up Wang Xinyan's family background. His hatred for Wei Zhao was bone-deep, so for his first job he wanted to strike at the people around Wei Zhao!
"Wei Zhao's girlfriend?" An Liwen was taken aback, thinking, weren't that bastard's girlfriends named Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao? Where had this Wang Xinyan suddenly come from?
