Chapter 167 - Leave Without Goodbye
Tang Xin wiped away her tears and looked at Tang Lingfeng nervously. From his cautiousness, she was ninety percent sure that the email was about her father.
She wanted to click it open but Tang Lingfeng quickly stopped her and opened it before her.
“Xinxin, can you see me? Daddy was wrong, Daddy shouldn’t have left you alone, will you please save Daddy? After Daddy is saved, I will come back and visit you and we will never be separated again.”
The video attached in the email showed her father’s swollen and wounded face. He begged her daughter to save her, as if he had suffered greatly.
“Xinxin, I can’t bear it anymore. They are torturing me in different ways every day and they won’t let me go if they don’t get the money. Xinxin, Daddy knows that your Uncle may think that I’m not worth being saved and he won’t pay the ransom, but I’m your Daddy, you won’t watch me die, will you?”
“Argh! They are coming again…they said they are going to use a chainsaw and cut my hair off strand by strand…Xinxin, help me! Help!”
The video suddenly turned black but her father’s screaming and wailing left her stunned, and her face became pale from horror.
“Second Brother, did you see that? They are torturing my Dad! They are torturing him horribly! Hurry up and transfer the money!” She grabbed Tang Lingfeng’s arm and shook it furiously.
“Xinxin, calm down first, let me ask Uncle first.” Tang Lingfeng comforted her and called the man who was in charge of the Tang Family.
He briefly described the situation and shook his head helplessly as he turned around and made eye contact with Tang Xin anxious.
Tang Xin threw herself at the phone, “Give me the phone, I’ll talk to Uncle myself!”
Tang Lingfeng asked for the man on the other side of the phone and the man fell silent for a few seconds as if he was surprised that Tang Xin was so courageous today. After a while, he agreed.
Tang Xin took the phone and panicked, “Uncle, I’m Tang Xin, please, can you please help my Dad? If you are scared that the money will go to waste, then I’ll borrow it from Tang Family, I will work hard and pay you back with interest!”
Tang Lingfeng heard her words and frowned. Perhaps one hundred million was a small number to the Tang Family, but it was a huge number for a single person. How could Xinxin propose such a condition?
He was just about to stop her when he heard the man agreeing clearly.
“Yes, I can. But even though the money will eventually come back in the hands of Tang Family, it’s been borrowed. You need to return the amount back but no need for interest. Do you still want to borrow it like this?”
Tang Xin was shocked and fell silent.
“Xinxin…” Tang Lingfeng patted her shoulder lightly, telling her to give up. No matter how this ends, she must return the one hundred million in the end.
Tang Xin glanced at Tang Lingfeng as her thoughts were swirling. Eventually, she bit her lips and replied firmly, “Yes, I want to borrow it!”
“Haha… Xinxin is a grown-up now. But Xinxin, it’s not enough.”
The man laughed in a low voice over the phone. Then, Tang Xin heard him ordering his secretary to transfer the money to the appointed account before hanging up.
The problem was solved and Tang Xin almost fell onto the ground in exhaustion, but Tang Lingfeng grabbed her and supported her up.
She didn’t know what her Uncle meant by ‘not enough’, but she didn’t want to think anymore and only hoped that her father was safe.
