Chapter 470: Chapter 466: Extorting

Tom got the hint and drove to a nearby parking space in front of a coffee shop.

Fang Xiaocao glanced out the window.

Seeing it was a coffee shop, she decisively pushed open the car door and headed toward it.

Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s actions, Tom immediately opened his car door and followed her.

Fang Xiaocao had quite a few enemies in Beijing.

Tom wasn’t reassured about leaving Fang Xiaocao alone.

Taotie and Unhappy didn’t get out of the car.

The coffee shop was right there.

The straight-line distance from the car was less than ten meters.

With Tom following, that was enough.

If there was real danger, Taotie could rush over for support in an instant.

Taotie stayed behind to watch the car, preventing anyone from tampering with it once they entered the coffee shop.

Fang Xiaocao walked into the coffee shop, ordered some pastries and an Americano, and waited quietly for the Lord of the Yu Family to speak. She had no intention of speaking first.

Tom sat opposite Fang Xiaocao.

He ordered a latte, sipping slowly.

He also had some pastries packed by the shop’s waiter and sent to the car outside.

[Yu Family Patriarch: Fang Xiaocao, let’s talk…]

The Lord of the Yu Family hadn’t finished speaking.

Fang Xiaocao hung up the phone.

She placed the phone on the table.

Fang Xiaocao took a sip of coffee.

“I told them I was busy, and they took their time to speak, do they really think I have no temper?”

Fang Xiaocao said with a cold smile.

Tom smiled slightly across from her, “Princess Your Highness, such people aren’t necessarily worth saving.”

“If they dare to blame Princess Your Highness, I’ll personally visit the Yu Family and make sure the whole family is blown sky-high tonight.”

Tom hated seeing anyone bully his beloved Princess Your Highness.

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He was genuinely considering a grand explosion art show at the Yu Family.

Fang Xiaocao shook her head, “No need, we’re not allergic to money. Why not take advantage of an opportunity when it arises?”

“I’m doing this to let the Yu Family know I’m not easy to mess with, so they’ll be more straightforward and cut the nonsense.”

Fang Xiaocao explained her reasoning to Tom.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Tom nodded, the murderous intent gradually leaving his eyes.

Tom always listened to Fang Xiaocao.

If Fang Xiaocao didn’t allow him to kill, Tom would definitely not act on his own until the other side had directly harmed Fang Xiaocao.

However…

If she was harmed at all…

Tom would undoubtedly send them and their whole family to their graves.

Sharpening scissors, polishing knives–

At this moment, Fang Xiaocao’s bizarre ringtone went off again, drawing the attention of many customers in the coffee shop.

Fang Xiaocao quickly muted her phone, thinking to herself, “Oh no, I forgot to set it to silent.”

She pressed the answer key.

[Fang Xiaocao: Hello?]

Her tone had a hint of frostiness.

[Yu Yunhai: Hello, Miss Fang, this is Yu Yunhai, the Patriarch of the Capital’s Yu Family.]

A deep voice from Yu Yunhai came through the phone.

[Fang Xiaocao: Oh? What’s up?]

Fang Xiaocao asked knowingly.

[Yu Yunhai: I would like to invite Miss Fang to come to the Capital’s Yu Family to save my son Yu Tianqi from the threat of a Poisonous Insect.]

This time, the Yu Family didn’t beat around the bush.

They got straight to the point.

Fang Xiaocao smiled slightly.

[Fang Xiaocao: Why should I?]

Fang Xiaocao had no intention of being polite with Yu Yunhai, nor did she even have the appetite for pleasantries.

[Yu Yunhai: Miss Fang, I won’t let you make the trip for nothing. If you’re willing to come, the Yu Family will cover all expenses, including board, lodging, and travel. Regardless of whether Tianqi can be cured, we will pay you fifty million as a consultation fee. If Tianqi can be cured, I will additionally pay another hundred million as thanks.]

Yu Yunhai stated his terms.

Fang Xiaocao blinked and thought for a moment.

[Fang Xiaocao: A total of two hundred million, payable immediately.]

Fang Xiaocao directly increased the amount by fifty million.

There was silence on Yu Yunhai’s end.

[Fang Xiaocao: If you don’t agree, forget it.]

Fang Xiaocao said and was about to hang up.

[Yu Yunhai: Miss Fang, please wait.]

[Yu Yunhai: I agree, two hundred million.]

Seeing Yu Yunhai agree, Fang Xiaocao nodded with satisfaction.

[Fang Xiaocao: Once I receive the money, I’ll depart.]

Fang Xiaocao didn’t wait for Yu Yunhai to speak, and she directly hung up.

Ten minutes later!

Flap, flap, flap–

Fang Xiaocao’s phone pinged with a message alert.

Fang Xiaocao picked up her phone, glanced at it, and her lips curled into a smug smile.

“Tom, pay the bill.”

“We’re heading to the Yu Family.”

Fang Xiaocao stood up and walked towards the door.

Tom immediately waved for the waiter.

After paying, he quickly followed Fang Xiaocao.

“Princess Your Highness, are we going to the Yu Family right now?”

In the car, Tom asked.

“Let’s leave now. How long will it take to get to the Yu Family?”

Fang Xiaocao glanced at the time and asked.

“Without traffic, about half an hour.”

Tom checked the map and replied.

“Find a hotel first.”

“Remember to get a receipt for reimbursement from the Yu Family.”

Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.

Yu Tianqi wasn’t going to die anytime soon, so there was no need for her to rush; she could let the Yu Family wait a little longer.

Tom nodded and started the car.

Half an hour later!

Tom parked the car in the parking lot of a five-star hotel owned by the Zhi Group.

He extravagantly booked two presidential suites on the top floor and got the receipts.

With the Yu Family footing the bill, Tom had no intention of saving money.

If it were Princess Your Highness paying, Tom would only book a standard double room.

Fang Xiaocao and her three companions went upstairs, with Fang Xiaocao in her own suite and Tom and the others in another.

Tom and the others took turns each day staying in the outer room of Fang Xiaocao’s suite to ensure her safety.

Despite the good soundproofing of such hotels, without someone guarding Fang Xiaocao’s room, they couldn’t guarantee the Princess Your Highness’s safety.

Fang Xiaocao took a short nap in her room before checking the time.

She slept for two hours and, seeing it was about time, freshened up and took Tom and the others with her to drive to the Yu Family.

One hour later!

Tom parked the car in front of the Yu Family.

Fang Xiaocao took out her phone and returned Yu Lingling’s call.

[Yu Lingling: Sister Xiaocao!]

[Fang Xiaocao: It’s me.]

[Fang Xiaocao: We’re at the Yu Family’s entrance.]

Fang Xiaocao said in a low voice.

[Yu Lingling: Really? Sister Xiaocao, wait a moment, I’ll come out to meet you right away.]

[Fang Xiaocao: Okay.]

Fang Xiaocao replied and hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later!

The gates of the Yu Family Manor opened.

Yu Lingling ran out first.

Behind Yu Lingling was a distinguished middle-aged man, along with a few guards.

“Sister Xiaocao!”

Yu Lingling ran to Fang Xiaocao’s car and knocked on the window.

Fang Xiaocao pushed open the car door and got out, with Tom and the others following immediately.

“Let’s go inside.”

Fang Xiaocao said in a low voice.
