"I'm very satisfied with the way your show 'Eyes in the Sky' spreads legal knowledge to society," Xu Mo's uncompromising voice came through.
In the studio.
Lin Anan explained the situation to Xu Mo with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Mr. Xu, you don't need to worry about this. From the time you were selected to participate in the show and started to flee, the longer you evade the capture group, the higher your compensation will be. So you don't need to take risks..."
"Stop nonsense!"
Xu Mo interrupted her.
"Don't tell me these irrelevant things. Listen to what I have to say in the next three minutes, otherwise I can't guarantee that Yang Jingxuan won't get hurt. It's up to you to decide whether to do it or not."
"Prepare 10 million RMB for me!"
"What?" Lin Anan exclaimed in shock.
This was nowhere near compensation for mental distress.
This was blatant extortion.
Brother, can you not make your words sound so artistic?
Hearing the request for 10 million RMB, the fans in the tracking group live stream were no longer calm.
"Hiss... Is the production team sure they selected ordinary people to participate? This guy sounds like someone who just got out of prison!"
"666! 10 million, enough to live extravagantly for a lifetime."
"Ask me why I'm watching the live stream on my knees, I'll say my legs suddenly went soft for no reason."
Yang Jingxuan's eyes were filled with huge question marks.
What happened to the 5 million discussed earlier?
Xu Mo, why did you suddenly raise the price like this?
But deep down, Yang Jingxuan felt even more delighted.
She knew that she was worth far more than 5 million.
This Xu Mo still had some business acumen.
"Impossible! 10 million is too much!" Lin Anan frowned and directly rejected it.
"Refusal? The time still counts if you refuse!" Xu Mo raised his voice a decibel, "Three minutes is almost up."
Lin Anan felt extremely frustrated, gritting her teeth, "Please continue!"
Xu Mo chuckled before continuing.
"Transfer 5 million to my bank account, prepare the other 5 million in cash, put it in a black travel bag and pack it tightly. Remember, don't play any tricks with me."
"I want to see the money in my account and the cash by 8 pm tomorrow!"
"As for the cash, leave it at the Wanda Plaza in the center of Xiancheng Avenue by the Erxian Bridge."
At the same time.
Shen Manni and the others arrived at the studio.
They happened to hear Xu Mo's demands.
At this time, Lin Anan looked at them helplessly.
Han Fei quickly grabbed the paper and pen on the table, scribbled a few words on the blank paper.
After finishing writing, he immediately turned the paper towards Lin Anan.
It said: Buy time! Hard to gather money!
Lin Anan understood completely, "Mr. Xu, 10 million is not a small amount."
"We can't gather it in such a short time. Why don't we reduce the amount, or you give us more time."
Lin Anan had the call on speakerphone.
Upon hearing this.
On the other end, Han Fei was not idle and asked his colleagues to lock onto Xu Mo's location while the call was still ongoing!
Of course Xu Mo knew that Lin Anan was deliberately stalling for time.
He chuckled.
"Alright, can't do it huh?"
"If you can't do it, not only will you receive Yang Jingxuan's nude photos tomorrow, but netizens around the world will also have the honor to witness the celebrity's intimate photos."
"Ah!!!!!!"
A sharp female scream rang out.
It was very clear that this voice belonged to Yang Jingxuan.
However a groundhog screams, this was how Yang Jingxuan screamed.
At this moment, the female celebrity was scared out of her wits, her beautiful little face was ghastly pale.
She stared at Xu Mo in disbelief!
This bastard.
Just for 10 million he was willing to sell her off?
She now hated Xu Mo so much she wanted to strangle him immediately.
Stupid idiot, go die!
Just as she was about to make a move.
Xu Mo was one step ahead and hung up the phone.
To be precise.
It was at the moment when Yang Jingxuan screamed.
There was no other way, her high pitch scream made his eardrums hurt a little.
"Bastard Xu Mo, if you dare to leak my nude photos, I'll kill you first."
Yang Jingxuan's neck flushed red with anger as she pounced at Xu Mo, clawing wildly.
"Calm down, calm down."
Xu Mo still hadn't put down his phone.
Yang Jingxuan was like a crazed octopus trying to cling onto him.
"Listen to me first!"
"I won't listen, I won't listen, bullshit!" At this point, what else is there to say? You shameless jerk, you you just want to force me to do that kind of thing. I'm telling you, get that thought out of your mind!"
"I'll f*cking..."
Xu Mo was somewhat amused.
The joke went too far.
But a weak woman was no match for Xu Mo's strength.
With two or three moves, he had her writhing hands under control.
"Use your muddled little brain to think, would they have listened if I didn't say that?"
"Are you saying I'm stupid?"
Yang Jingxuan stared at him suspiciously, fury burning inside her.
"No." Xu Mo shook his head and only let go of her hands after making sure she wouldn't go berserk again.
"That was your own interpretation."
"You!!" Yang Jingxuan gnashed her teeth. One thing at a time.
She couldn't let it go just like that after he called her stupid.
Seeing that she was about to pounce again.
Xu Mo said, "10 million!"
Yang Jingxuan stopped dead in her tracks.
Who doesn't like money?
Originally trying to extort 5 million.
With Xu Mo's help.
Her worth instantly doubled.
Besides, the nude photo thing wasn't real anyway.
Yang Jingxuan let out a snort through her straight nose.
She wasn't an unreasonable person.
For the money's sake.
She begrudgingly forgave Xu Mo.

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
