Chapter 58: Blackmailed

"Take this money and get out quickly, or if we're discovered we'll both be finished!" In a dark alley, Gu Qingmeng's impatient voice rang out.

She looked at the thugs in front of her, her expression sour.

She came over at great risk.

A moment's carelessness could draw the Fu Clan's attention.

Then all her years of effort would be for nothing.

"Tsk, you think a paltry sum can send off us brothers? Over the years we haven't just been your ox and horse; we brothers have been ready to give our lives for you!"

Heihu stared gloomily at the bank card before him.

Gu Qingmeng understood his meaning perfectly; he just wanted to cut ties as quickly as possible.

It seemed they were about to run into big trouble.

"Don't give me that nonsense; Fu Sijue is scouring the city for you now. If you don't act quickly, there'll be no chance to get away later!"

Gu Qingmeng was even more anxious than they were.

She knew these people were unwilling to be used, and whenever they found a chance they'd extort a sum.

They weren't good people at all; getting involved with them was like licking blood on a knife's tip—extremely dangerous.

"Miss Gu, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to meet again. Can you still give us brothers a chance to return to Haicheng?"

"Miss Gu, we brothers understand exactly what kind of status you have. If you can't give us a proper explanation, I'm afraid we won't be able to resolve this."

A few tall men behind Heihu stepped forward, glaring at Gu Qingmeng with fierce, demonic eyes.

Back then, they risked so much for Gu Qingmeng because she paid a lot.

"Either add more money, or we go to President Fu right now to negotiate. Miss Gu, choose."

Heihu raised an eyebrow at Gu Qingmeng; the greed in his eyes made her feel threatened.

She had raised several wolves to eliminate Lu Xiwán, and now those wolves no longer obeyed discipline.

Then she should consider getting rid of these troublesome wolves.

"I'll keep you as long as you're useful. I've already found a place for you; we can discuss the extra money after we get through this crisis, okay?"

Gu Qingmeng feigned innocence and smiled at Heihu.

"A delaying tactic, huh? I really can't trust the character of people like you. Since you're asking us for help, you have to show at least some sincerity, right?"

Heihu became unusually shrewd, no longer buying Gu Qingmeng's act, and was determined to bite down until he saw her sincerity.

"Right now, in this damned place, even if I had more money I couldn't give it to you now; you have to give me some time, okay?"

Gu Qingmeng hadn't finished speaking when Heihu cut her off; the man who was usually somewhat intimidating looked especially ferocious today.

"You think I don't know what you guys are thinking, right? Let me tell you, without money nothing gets done! When our brothers went to prison and asked you for help, you ignored us; after we got out you were suddenly all friendly. Who doesn't know the filthy thoughts in your heart!"

Gu Qingmeng only cursed herself for leaving such a big leverage.

She slammed all the cash from her bag onto the table forcefully.

"I don't have much cash; in a few days I'll transfer the money to your account. Pack your things quickly, disguise yourselves, move straight into Chengzhongcun. Once this period passes, I'll come find you."

Heihu and his group left satisfied, while Gu Qingmeng stared at them with a vicious glare.

Only by cutting the weeds at the roots can she achieve the effect she wants.

She must not let these few people's failure ruin her own efforts.
