Chapter 162: Another Windfall
Chapter 162: Another Windfall
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Hong's heart was filled with a mixture of shock, fear, and anger.
She wanted to ask, "What business is it of yours if I open the door or not? Why are you meddling?" But her instincts told her that the person before her was dangerous!
As a lone woman, she knew she couldn't match his strength.
"Brother, are you looking for someone?" she asked with a forced smile.
"Mhm."
Jiang Cheng nodded.
"Who are you looking for? I live here. If you tell me their name, I might be able to help you."
"There's no need for that."
Jiang Cheng pulled out a gun from his pocket.
Zhang Hong's pupils instantly widened, and she was about to scream.
Jiang Cheng shoved the gun into her mouth.
"If you dare make a sound, I'll shoot. Nod if you understand."
"Wuu, Wuu."
Zhang Hong had already peed her pants and nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows furrowed.
He, too, smelled the pungent odor of urine in the air.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on such matters.
"Just understand my meaning, and I'll take the gun away soon. I hope you won't do anything rash, or we can test who's faster—you at calling for help or me at pulling the trigger."
"Wuu."
Zhang Hong quickly nodded.
She was genuinely afraid the gun in her mouth might go off, and a bullet would pierce through her mouth.
Jiang Cheng aimed the gun at her stomach and said, "Open the door."
"Can you... let me go? Please?" Zhang Hong sobbed. "I can give you money if you want. Just don't hurt me."
"I'll say it one last time—open the door."
Jiang Cheng's voice turned cold.
"I'll open it. I'll open it."
Trembling, Zhang Hong opened the main door, and Jiang Cheng, with the gun, forced her to walk inside step by step.
"Bang!" The door slammed shut.
"Ah!"
Zhang Hong, terrified, sat down on the ground, pleading, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"Shut up!"
Jiang Cheng really wanted to shoot her right then.
"Where's the money?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hong felt a glimmer of hope.
So, he was after the money! That was great; she had thought he was there to kill her.
"I have money in the safe. Only I know the password. Let me go, and I'll give you the money."
She hurriedly explained.
Once he left, she would call her son and tell him what had happened.
After they caught this guy, she would repay the fright she just experienced tenfold!
"Lead the way, and remember, no tricks. Otherwise, I'll shoot you."
Zhang Hong slowly walked to the bedroom, opened a cabinet, and surprisingly, there was a safe.
She glanced at Jiang Cheng, gritted her teeth, and entered the password.
A beep sounded.
The safe door opened, revealing stacks of cash that filled half the cabinet.
"All my money is here—over 200,000 yuan. You can take it all if you want. I just hope you'll let me go," Zhang Hong pleaded.
"That's all?"
Jiang Cheng sneered, "Do you take me for a three-year-old? So easy to fool?"
"That's all I have!"
Zhang Hong exclaimed, "Please, this is over 200,000 yuan! I've saved up my whole life for this."
"Looks like I need to teach you a lesson to make you tell the truth."
Jiang Cheng moved the gun, aiming it at her thigh.
He had heard from them.
For each person they sold to the club, the three of them could get at least 50,000 yuan. If the girl had a good figure and was beautiful, 100,000 yuan wasn't out of the question. And if she was a virgin, the price would be even higher.
Of course, no matter how high the price was, the two of them could only get three to four tenths of the total, and the rest belonged to this woman.
Over the years, they had deceived dozens of women, if not a hundred. So how could this woman only have a mere 200,000 yuan?
"Don't shoot! Please don't shoot!" Zhang Hong screamed in agony. "I remember now, I have another safe, and there are several hundred thousand yuan in it too."
"Oh? You remember now? Think harder, is there another one somewhere?" Jiang Cheng sneered.
"Hero, I really don't have any more," Zhang Hong begged pathetically.
"Is that so?" Jiang Cheng expressed his doubt.
But first, they needed to get the money from the two safes, and then they could continue to interrogate her about a possible third one.
"Where is the second safe? Go and open it."
"Hero, the money in that safe is my retirement fund. Can you please have a heart and let me keep it?" Zhang Hong pleaded.
She wasn't lying; there were only these two safes, and the money inside them added up to around 600,000 to 700,000 yuan.
Indeed, her business brought in money quickly, but she spent it just as fast. Aside from her beauty treatments, the clothes and bags she bought each month alone cost several tens of thousands.
If she hadn't repeatedly reminded herself that this money was for her retirement, she would have spent it all by now.
But now, it seemed like all of it would go to the man before her.
"Less talk, hurry up and open it!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Zhang Hong led them to another room and moved a cabinet, revealing a safe embedded in the wall.
"You sure know how to hide things," Jiang Cheng smirked.
"Of course, money needs to be hidden securely," Zhang Hong said, opening the safe with a smile that was more pitiful than her tears.
Inside, it wasn't filled with money as Jiang Cheng had expected. In fact, it occupied less than one-tenth of the space.
But the money inside was in 1000 yuan denominations.
There were six stacks, each containing a hundred bills.
Jiang Cheng's breathing quickened involuntarily.
They were thousand-yuan bills.
And from the looks of it, there were at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.
Five to six hundred thousand! The last time, he had only earned that much after risking his life.
This time, it was too easy.
If he added the money from the other safe, his earnings for this mission would likely exceed 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.
This meant that the 1.5 million yuan needed to extend the Visualization Technique to the next stage could be gathered this time.
But despite the vibrant colors of the money, which made it look appealing, it was all earned through human trafficking, black-hearted money! Behind every bill was an innocent woman, imprisoned in the club, living a life filled with despair.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.
Leaving this money here would only benefit the cruel-hearted woman before him.
Only by taking this money into his own hands could its value be realized.
But by taking this money, he also accepted the corresponding consequences.
"Rest assured, when I become powerful, I will definitely rescue you from the flames. I will keep my word," Jiang Cheng said.
