Extort a Sum of Money

Lei Hui clicked his tongue mentally.

The Starlight Group would never have imagined that this person was their boss's.

Having lost such a son as their boss, the Lin family would probably regret it to the core.

"The Lin family really has a well - thought - out plan," Lin Xuan tapped his fingertips on the table.

Since Lin Chang was looking for the person who could solve the virus, and he was that person, he had to extort a good amount from him.

Thinking of this, a playful smile curled up on Lin Xuan's lips. "You arrange for an employee to tell him that if he wants to meet, there will be a referral fee."

It was time for him to meet Lin Chang and rub salt in his wounds in person.

The person sent by Lin Qingwan asked many employees of the Su Corporation, but they all kept their mouths shut about who had implanted the virus.

Finally, an elite man in a suit and glasses pushed his glasses up and said, "This person has extremely high computer skills and is a treasure of our company. If the company knew that I told you, I'd lose my job."

He wasn't lying.

The boss was not only a computer genius but also a business prodigy. Wasn't he the company's greatest asset?

"The salary and benefits of the Sky Curtain Group are very good, and it has great development prospects. I don't want to lose such a good job. However, if you want me to tell you, there's a condition..."

The person sent by Lin Qingwan immediately understood what he meant.

"Tell me, what do you want?" she asked hurriedly.

The elite man held up one finger. "I want this much money."

"One million?" the person from Lin Qingwan asked.

"No no no. One million is nothing. It's just a little over a year's salary for me," the elite man shook his head.

"I want ten million," the elite man said.

"What? Ten million?" The person sent by Lin Qingwan stared in disbelief.

Such a huge amount!

Wasn't this asking for the moon?

"That's right. Not a single cent less," the elite man said. "As long as you give me this much money, I'll arrange for that person to meet you right away."

"Even if it's one yuan less, this deal is off."

"Wait a moment."

The person sent by Lin Qingwan immediately called Lin Qingwan. Lin Chang was also there.

"What's the situation?" Lin Chang asked anxiously.

Lin Qingwan pursed her lips and said, "An employee from the Sky Curtain Group said that he'll take me to meet that person if we give him ten million."

"We can't wait any longer," Lin Chang shook his head. Gritting his teeth, he said, "We'll give the ten million."

Among all the employees of the Sky Curtain Group, this was the only one willing to talk.

Finding that technician to solve the virus was the most urgent thing.

If it could be solved, he'd give not only ten million but also fifty million or even one hundred million!

"Okay," Lin Qingwan nodded.

Why did she always feel that this employee was also arranged by Xiao Xuan?

But at this point, they had no choice but to take a chance.

Here, the person sent by Lin Qingwan returned to the elite man. "Our chairman will transfer the money to you. You have to bring him out as soon as possible."

"Don't worry," the elite man smiled faintly. "As long as the money arrives, I'll definitely bring the person to you."

After waiting for a while, ten million was transferred to the elite man's bank card account.

The elite man smiled in satisfaction, put away his phone, and said, "Then meet at Room 401 of the Stardust Club in two hours. You can just go there and wait for him."

Hearing his definite answer, Lin Chang let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that there was still hope of solving the game's virus.

After Lei Hui asked Lin Xuan to sign a contract, he looked at the time and frowned. "Boss, it's almost time for your appointment with Lin Chang. Aren't you leaving?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Let him wait for a while," Lin Xuan leaned back comfortably in his office chair.

Lin Qingwan and Lei Hui had arrived at the club early to wait for Lin Xuan.

Ten minutes passed... half an hour passed...

Lin Chang couldn't help asking his subordinate for the phone and called the elite man. "Why hasn't he arrived yet? Are you playing tricks on us?"

"Chairman Lei, why are you in such a hurry?" the elite man said unhurriedly. "He's a genius among geniuses. It's normal for such a prodigy to have a bit of a temper. Maybe he has something to deal with?"

"Just wait. Since he promised to come, he'll definitely come."

Lei Hui was angry but dared not show it. They still needed the other person to help solve the virus, so they couldn't offend him.

Su Hua was still at the Su Corporation. Lin Xuan reported to her and then went to meet Lin Qingwan and Lin Chang alone. He deliberately wore a hat and a mask.

He also put on a set of black clothes, a completely different look from before.

Another hour had passed since the call with the elite man.

Including the time they came early, they had waited in the private room for over an hour. Finally, Lin Xuan arrived.

As soon as Lin Xuan entered, Lin Qingwan and Lin Chang's eyes lit up simultaneously, and they stood up.

"Sir, hello," Lin Chang reached out his hand to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan just glanced faintly at Lin Chang's hand, ignored it, and walked straight to a sofa and sat down.

An embarrassed look appeared on Lin Chang's face. He was quite dissatisfied with the man in front of him in his heart.

But now that he needed to ask for his help, he could only endure it.

Lin Chang retracted his hand and asked in a kind tone, "Sir, how should I address you?"

"I'm Mr. Lin. Just call me that," Lin Xuan said casually.

Lin Qingwan frowned tightly.

This man had the same surname as them, and his voice sounded so familiar.

Lin Qingwan stared intently at Lin Xuan, trying to recognize who he was.

Lin Xuan let them look at him openly.

The Lin family had never really cared about him and wasn't very familiar with him. Now he didn't have to worry about them recognizing him.

Of course, if they did recognize him, it didn't matter.

He didn't care.

"Chairman Lin, I know you brought a recording pen. Hand it over," Lin Xuan rubbed the wine glass and said, raising his eyebrows.

Lin Chang's face froze, and he had to take out the recording pen from his pocket.

"Mr. Lin, it's just my habit to bring a recording pen. I'm not going to record our conversation," Lin Chang put the recording pen on the table.

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows. Record the conversation?

It was just to record their conversation and use the exposed identity of him as a hacker to control him, forcing him to work for the Starlight Group and even deal with the Sky Curtain Group.

Lin Xuan didn't expose Lin Chang. He picked up the recording pen and examined it carefully.

"Mr. Lin," Lin Chang changed the subject, "Why do you always wear a hat and a mask?"

Lin Xuan smiled. "People in our line of work can't show our true faces. After all, it was me who invaded your system. If you exposed me, it wouldn't be good."
