Spring Branches

The next day, 8:30 in the morning.

Tang Asi has already prepared 80 million in cash, which is packed into more than a dozen boxes.

When Tang Asi was changing clothes in the bedroom on the second floor, he picked out a suit that looked very bulky and hid a retractable knife inside his clothes.

When he came down, Ana was standing in the living room with a frown on his face. Chen Chen and Chen Xiao were sitting on the sofa with heavy faces.

They didn't want Tang Asi to go over and exchange money for someone, but the little girl was very stubborn about it and insisted on going by herself. If she wasn't allowed to go, she would use some extreme means to torture herself.

Tang Asi walked with a strange posture, as if he was hiding something.

Ana saw the clue at a glance.

Without saying a word, he walked over and took out the knife from Tang Asi's trouser pocket.

Chen Xiao exclaimed and subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands. Tang Asi was really brave.

Ana said, "Sister Tang, you're courting death if you take this thing over!"

Tang Asi's face turned terribly dark and he reached out to grab the knife.

But Ana reacted quickly and moved the knife to another position in no time, so Tang Asi failed to get it.

She said angrily: "Ana, give me back the knife!"

Ana said, "If they don't let you go, do you want to die with them?"

"..." Tang Asi didn't answer, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Ana sneered: "Sister, your idea is too simple, you are too naive. When you go there, they want your life and Brother Lu's life, not your money!"

Tang Asi insisted: "Don't worry about it! Don't let the police follow me! The time is almost up, I have to go and deliver the money."

Seeing this, several people stood in front of Tang Asi one after another, preventing her from leaving.

Tang Asi was furious: "What are you going to do?"

Ana said: "You can go and deliver it, but the police must follow you."

Tang Asi paced back and forth on the ground angrily and said, "They said that we can't talk to the police. You are trying to kill Lu Yichuan!"

Ana said, "Mrs. Lu said that if they must die, one of them should be left alive. Either you don't go, or let the police follow you."

"Then I will die, and Lu Yichuan will live." Tang Asi's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he recalled some past events: "I can't let them die every time, leaving me alone to live in this world."

Chen Xiao said nervously: "A Si, if you don't want the police to follow us, then let Madam Lu's people follow us."

Ana said, "Yes, that's a very powerful sniper. If they don't keep their word and want to kill people after taking the money, the sniper can still shoot them to death. During the delay, we can still go and rescue people."

"..."

Finally after a struggle.

Tang Asi agreed to let the sniper arranged by Mrs. Lu follow not far behind him.

At 8:45, Tang Asi set off with the money.

Because there was so much money, the driver helped Tang Asi move the money down and put it on the ground, then drove away quickly.

Tang Asi took out his cell phone and called the same number from yesterday.

As soon as it rang, the other end picked up.

Tang Asi said: [The money is ready, and I am waiting at the same place as yesterday.]

The housekeeper's hearty laughter came from the phone, and after a while he said: "Young Madam, you came really early. Are you worried about Lu Yichuan's safety?"

[When will you come over to get the money and release the person?] Tang Asi did not answer the housekeeper's question, but asked the question he wanted to know most.

There was another hearty laugh on the phone, and after the laugh there was no more frivolous words, but gnashing of teeth as he said: [Do you really think you are the young lady of the Lu family? Your man is Lu Yisi, have you forgotten him so quickly?]

[When will you come over?] Tang Asi asked the same question as before.

The housekeeper shouted loudly, "Have you fallen in love with Lu Yichuan?"

[……] Tang Asi thought the housekeeper was very strange.

Why bring up these things out of nowhere?

Whether she has forgotten Lu Yisi or not, whether she has fallen in love with Lu Yichuan or not, it has nothing to do with him as a butler, right?

Hearing the angry voice on the phone, Tang Asi chose to remain silent this time.

The housekeeper on the other end yelled: [Why don't you speak? Did I say it right? You fell in love with Lu Yichuan! How could you fall in love with Lu Yichuan! You have been with Lu Yisi for three years, and he left for only half a year, and you fell in love with someone else. You are such a vicious woman! ]

[I didn’t.] Tang Asi said resolutely: [I haven’t forgotten Lu Yisi, and I will never forget Tang Asi.]

There was another long silence on the other end of the phone.

He didn't say anything, and Tang Asi didn't dare to say anything either.

She was afraid that if she said something wrong and angered the housekeeper, it would be more trouble than it was worth.

After a while, the butler on the other end of the phone said coldly: [Wait. ]

Then he hung up the phone.

……

The housekeeper walked around Lu Yichuan, and finally tapped his face twice with his phone, and said with a smile: "The woman just now said that she is not in love with you."

Lu Yichuan nodded calmly: "I know."

The housekeeper laughed again: "She also said that she will never forget Lu Yisi, and there is only Lu Yisi in her heart for the rest of her life."

"..."

Lu Yichuan did not respond to this question.

He thought that the butler might have said that to provoke him.

But this is also the truth.

They have been together for three years and have been in love since they first knew how to love someone. That is the most precious time.

And he, Lu Yichuan, only appeared in Tang Asi's life for half a year. There was no sweet encounter, only earth-shaking dangers again and again. It was impossible for her to like him, let alone love him.

Looking at Lu Yichuan's lost face, the housekeeper felt happy and seemed satisfied in his heart.

He said: "Lu Yichuan, Tang Asi is my son's for life, you can't have him."

After that, the butler and two bodyguards were fully armed and put on black masks. The two bodyguards carried Lu Yichuan downstairs.

Arrived at the transaction location.

The time is 9:15.

The housekeeper took Lu Yichuang to stand on the upper floor opposite to Tang Asi and started to call Tang Asi.

Tang Asi asked: [It’s been 15 minutes, where are you guys? ]

The housekeeper said: [Look at the building opposite you. ]

The housekeeper waved at Tang Asi with a lewd smile on his face. It was an office building with a daycare center, mostly for children.

Tang Asi said: [How can I give you the money? ]

The housekeeper said: [The person who takes the money is on the way.]

Tang Asi said: [Then why did you let Lu Yichuan go? ]

The housekeeper said: [I saw you hand the money to him, I asked Lu Yichuan to leave for ten minutes, and then he took the money and left.]

Tang Asi said: [10 minutes is too short. He is also injured. What if your people are lying in ambush somewhere else and your people take the money away? Lu Yichuan will be captured by you again.]
