Chapter 1784 Take It Back (4)
"It's not work calling you back, is it?" the girl pouted, unwilling to be interrupted.
"No, I'm with you today!" Han Jiang playfully booped her nose.
"Don't worry."
He pulled out his phone and opened the message.
It was from an unfamiliar number.
Could it be some kind of scam?
He was about to delete it, but curiosity got the best of him and he opened it.
When he saw the picture that popped up, his pupils contracted and his heart skipped a beat.
It was a photo of him and the woman beside him, in an intimate pose.
Holding hands was the least of it! There were even pictures of them kissing!
It was clear from just one look that they were in a relationship.
He quickly scrolled down to read the message, and his face went white as he did.
"If you don't want these photos to fall into your girlfriend's hands, buy them for five million."
Five million yuan?!
Han Jiang's expression grew even more grim.
He might as well kill himself!
He did have that much money with all his assets added up, but why would he give five million to some stranger?!
However, the threat in the message made him very uneasy.
It meant that the other party knew that Cui Tong was his girlfriend!
If he was caught cheating, Cui Tong would definitely break up with him.
If they broke up, he might not be able to find such a gullible girlfriend again.
Han Jiang had many girlfriends before, but none of them had money, at least not as much as he did.
Without money, how could they possibly afford to spend money on him? He even had to spend on them.
So in the end, he had to break up with them.
Girlfriends like Cui Tong were hard to come by. At least, she was the first he had found who had both money and beauty and was also very generous.
Han Jiang didn't like his family's conventional way of acquiring wealth.
What was the point of gathering resources through cultivation with hearths?
He wasn't interested in that kind of thing!
This was no longer a world that valued strength, but wealth!
What was the use of gathering resources if he didn't practice cultivation? That would be totally worthless!
Even if he could live an extra few decades through cultivation, so what?
He preferred to live his life freely and without constraints.
Unfortunately, the money his family gave him was not enough for him to live as freely as he liked.
That was why he chose to be with Cui Tong after having observed her for a while.
Besides giving him many gifts, she also introduced him to her older brother.
The Cui family was wealthy and had provided ample resources for his company.
One could say that all the money he made was thanks to the Cui family.
Perhaps he could even secure access to more of their resources in the future.
However, he never expected to be caught in the act of cheating.
If Cui Tong and her family found out about his actions, he would be in trouble!
Though he wouldn't suffer physical harm, the consequences would be too much to bear.
Without someone like Cui Tong, where else could he find a girlfriend who was both rich and willing to spend money on him?
Furthermore, if the Cui family withdrew their support, his company would be done for.
He absolutely could not let this stranger reveal what had happened!
Still, he sent a probing message: "I only have one girlfriend. What are you talking about? Beware, I'll call the cops on you!"
Soon after, he received a reply.
When he opened the message, a photo of Cui Tong appeared.
It was clearly a photo taken from the internet, but the sight of her face made Han Jiang's blood run cold.
The stranger actually knew!
