Chapter 408 Extortion
Assistant Hong was not surprised that Xi Jinchen would cry. He was used to his president turning into a bag of tears because of his wife, but for others, it was like encountering Halley's Comet.

Yiqi coughed lightly in embarrassment, "Don't look...it's all gone."

Everyone dispersed, and Yiqi stretched out his hand to pull Xi Jinchen.

"Sincerely?"

Xi Jinchen wiped away his tears, but he couldn't hide his red eyes.

At that moment, Yiqi suddenly felt extremely regretful, not because he agreed to donate bone marrow, but because he regretted making Xi Jinchen worry.

Xi Jinchen turned his head and took Yiqi's hand, but comforted her instead.

"Don't be afraid, I will always be waiting for you outside."

It's like a farewell to death...

Yiqi raised his hand and wiped Xi Jinchen's tears, "Don't worry, I will be safe and nothing will happen, so many medical staff are here."

"Okay." Xi Jinchen nodded solemnly.

He let go of his hand, afraid that if he turned his head, he would be reluctant again.

Yiqi was sent to the operating room, and Xi Jinchen was waiting outside, fidgeting.

Assistant Hong stepped forward cautiously, "Sir, why...why didn't you stop Madam?"

As soon as the words fell, Assistant Hong wanted to bite off his tongue to apologize.His question is simply challenging Xi Jinchen's bottom line.

Xi Jinchen looked at the operating light in front of him, but he didn't seem to hear Assistant Hong's words.

"But if you do good deeds, don't ask about your future." Yiqi said softly to the nurse beside her.

She knew that Xi Jinchen, who was waiting for her outside the door, must also think the same way.

The nurse nodded solemnly to her, "Don't worry, the patient will recover after receiving your help."

She lightly put on the oxygen mask for Yiqi, but within a few seconds, Yiqi suddenly fell asleep.

Xi Jinchen waited outside anxiously, no one dared to speak to him at this time, even breathing carefully.

Suddenly, someone else's cell phone rang in the corridor.

Everyone's hearts froze, and they looked at Xi Jinchen in fear.

He turned his head leisurely, "Whose phone is it?"

Assistant Hong tremblingly pointed at Xi Jinchen's trouser pocket, "Husband... madam's..."

Xi Jinchen was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head in embarrassment and took out Yiqi's cell phone from his pocket.

It's Zhao Yongning.

She stayed in the small villa to deal with the PR affairs with sister Zhang Yiting, but she didn't rush over.

Xi Jinchen handed the phone to Assistant Hong, motioning for him to pick it up, "Your wife."

Assistant Hong stepped forward to pick up the phone, and quickly shrank aside to answer the call.

"Hey?"

Zhao Yongning immediately recognized that it was Assistant Hong's voice, "It's fine if it's you, is Madam in the operating room?"

"Go in." Assistant Hong frowned, "In such a hurry?"

He glanced at Assistant Hong next to him, and lowered his voice while covering the microphone, "Did something happen?"

Zhao Yongning swallowed, "Someone sent an email in my mailbox, telling us to pay him a sum of money within 24 hours, otherwise the matter of Wang Jue's beating will be exposed. This...is this blackmail?"

"I see." Assistant Hong replied solemnly, "Don't worry, forward the email to me."

"Okay." Zhao Yongning responded in a panic.

Assistant Hong hung up the phone quickly, and the next second, the email was forwarded to his mailbox.

He clicked on the email and took a look. The content didn't explicitly say how much money to pay, but in the form of a lawyer's statement, saying that Wang Jue beat the director and asked for compensation, otherwise he would leave legal process.

Although the document looks official, the words are still extortion.

"Liang Yihe." Assistant Hong waved at Liang Yihe, "You are a professional, let me see if you can sue them."

Liang Yihe took the phone and glanced at it, frowning more and more tightly.

"Beating is a fact, and it is reasonable to demand compensation. Although it is essentially extortion, there is insufficient evidence." Liang Yihe said solemnly, "Can't you check your IP?"

"It's useless." Assistant Hong shook his head, "If they dare to send it, they must have used a fake IP, and they can't find it, and I don't think they may go through legal procedures, and they are probably trying to force me to bow my head, but... "

But Yiqi was right, for many things, one step back will lead to a second step.

If their requirements are met, they will intensify. If they are not satisfied, they will expose Wang Jue's beating, and then continue to blackmail, or discredit Yiqi's company and compete for resources.

This is simply an unsolvable deadlock.

Assistant Hong glanced at Xi Jinchen over there in embarrassment, "Do you want to tell him?"

Liang Yihe is also caught in a dilemma. This kind of behavior held hostage by morality is mostly unsolvable.

"Wait first." Liang Yihe patted Assistant Hong on the shoulder, "Wait, at least wait until your wife comes out."

Several people waited with their own thoughts, and it took some time before Yiqi was pushed out.

"Don't worry, the operation was a success." The doctor held Xi Jinchen's hand, "Thank you for your donation."

Xi Jinchen didn't have the heart to pay attention to what the doctor said, so he just answered and hurried to see Yiqi.

Yiqi is still under anesthesia and needs to wait.But the donation process is not over yet, Yiqi will have to extract hematopoietic stem cells the next day.

Assistant Hong waited anxiously outside, answering Zhao Yongning's urging calls from time to time.

He finally couldn't help it, pushed open the door and walked in.

When Xi Jinchen heard the movement, he turned his head displeased, "What are you doing?"

"Sir..." Assistant Hong pursed his lips in embarrassment, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward, leaning into Xi Jinchen's ear and describing the whole process to him.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xi Jinchen was furious.

Assistant Hong turned his head away in embarrassment, "Actually...it's useless to say it."

Xi Jinchen was burning with anger, but was extinguished by Assistant Hong's words.

He knew better than Assistant Hong why this matter was so difficult, and he knew that there was no solution.

"You..." Xi Jinchen paused, and continued to speak after a while, "You ask Zhao Yongning to contact there and send money."

Assistant Hong was stunned for a moment, "This... is it really possible?"

Once they compromised, it would be like a bottomless pit, sucking their blood non-stop.

"They will always find a way to frame someone." Xi Jinchen turned his head to look at Yiqi, and said firmly, "Let's pay the money, my Xi's family is not short of this money."

Assistant Hong wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head.

Suddenly, Yiqi was moved by Xi Jinchen's clenched hand.She seemed to be muttering something, Xi Jinchen leaned over and listened carefully.
