As the voice spoke, I focused my gaze and saw it was the back of a woman.

She was in the process of changing out of her work clothes. I stopped Xiao Wu and the others and immediately exited the office.

Xiao Wu was very curious about my actions and asked, "What's wrong?"

I immediately stood in front of the door, avoiding unnecessary embarrassment.

The door suddenly opened, and my eyes quickly looked at the person. She was very attractive. I had seen all kinds of women in nightclubs. If I had to compare, she had more integrity and nobility, and less artificiality. At this moment, her face showed great displeasure.

Before I could speak, she asked in an accusing tone, "Who let you come up here?"

I thought she must have mistaken us for employees here. Her aura certainly lived up to the title on the door.

No matter what level she was, it had nothing to do with us, so I casually replied, "We came up on our own. We have important business with you."

She sized up my face for a while before asking, "Which department are you from?"

"We're not your employees. We're here to collect a debt."

Xiao Wu answered before me, emanating a gangster aura.

The woman ignored us and walked straight inside. Before she could close the door, I quickly blocked it and followed her inside like a boss, then sat down on the sofa.

Feeling the texture with my hand, the quality of this sofa was definitely extraordinary. I winked at Xiao Wu, but she had already picked up the phone on the desk. I quickly got up and rushed to the opposite side to snatch the phone from her hand, and then pulled out the cord.

"We're not here to cause trouble. Shouldn't the money for decorating this place be settled?"

She finally understood and then calmly sat down in her swivel chair, staring straight at me and asking, "Was the decoration up to standard? If you want money, get the foreman over here. Any problems with the decoration must be repaired and rushed. This floor of the office building was renovated separately. The goal was to be exquisite."

After speaking, she stood up and pointed to the corner of the wall. I followed her finger and looked over. There was nothing major wrong, but it could be said that it wasn't refined enough. To redo it would be nitpicking.

"We don't care about that. Settle the bill today. We have to go back and report."

"There are rules in every industry. You can't make money by abandoning your conscience."

"Do you think it can be changed after it's completed? Changing it again would be a major project. If you're not satisfied, you can deduct some money. You can't pay nothing at all."

The woman organized the documents on the desk while firmly answering me, "I'm not only not paying a penny, but I'm also going to make him compensate for the losses."

I curiously asked, "What losses?"

"Renovating again takes more time and money than new construction."

After listening, I quietly looked at her, feeling that she was deliberately making things difficult. I was already a little impatient. Arguing like this wouldn't lead to any results. I slammed my palm on the table. She was only startled, but still looked at me indifferently.

At this time, Xiao Wu and the three others also walked over, not only looking like hooligans but also being threatening, and began to say harsh words, "If we don't get the money today, don't blame us for being rude."

"You're debt collectors, aren't you?" Her tone was full of contempt.

"You guessed it. We specialize in collecting legitimate debts. How much effort does it take to decorate this place well..."

Before I could finish speaking, she actually changed her mind and said very readily, "Alright, I'll transfer the money to you now, but I also have a business deal here. Do you want to do it?"

I didn't know if she was teasing us or if she really had a job, so I didn't respond.

I saw her take out a file bag from the drawer and place it in front of me...

"All the information is inside. I just need the other party's home address. As for the fee, you can name your price."

Her sudden generosity made me a little confused. My eyes were also fixed on her face. Based on my years of experience in the underworld, she was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

I stared through her pupils. There was a trace of shrewdness in her cunning. How could such a woman easily discuss business with others?

"We don't want to do your business. Transfer the decoration money into the account now. We don't have time to waste with you like this." I refused very decisively.

"Bring the phone over here. I need to call the finance department to make the transfer."

"Don't try to play tricks on us..."

Before Xiao Wu could finish speaking, I immediately gestured to stop him. As long as she was sincere, I didn't think it was necessary to be so defensive.

I immediately installed the phone for her and stood beside her watching her make the call. Her movements were very swift, and she finished the instructions in a few words.

"Alright, you can leave now, right?"

I looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Go check with the other party. Tell him to call us when the money arrives."

The three of them walked outside together, and I sat back down on the sofa, my eyes fixed on a portrait on the wall. It was her, and she looked very charming, her eyes looking at me like she was.

I turned my gaze back to her. She put away the clothes she had just changed, carefully placing them in the closet, completely ignoring my existence.

After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, my phone suddenly vibrated. It was Lin Hai calling. His tone was very arrogant as soon as he spoke...

"I'll transfer the money to you now, but your request is no different from extortion."

I was already impatient, and his attitude immediately ignited me. I roared at him, "Who wants your money? Did we force you to transfer it? You're talking a lot of nonsense. You'll naturally receive a message when it's transferred. If you didn't transfer it, what are you babbling about!"

I didn't bother to argue with Lin Hai. I had accumulated so much resentment over the years, and his words only provoked my patience.

A moment later, a text message sounded. I thought it was Lin Hai's money arriving, but it was just a message: This is extortion, it's illegal. Isn't the amount of two million a bit too much!

I was really infuriated by this person. I suppressed my temper and replied: That's right, I'm extorting you today!

After that, I ignored him. No one asked him to transfer the money. His attitude was that he wanted me to attend, but he was reluctant to part with the huge sum.

I put my phone in my pocket and looked up to see the woman staring at me curiously. I ignored her gaze and took out a cigarette. Before lighting it, I asked, "How long will it take?"

"The finance department will go to the bank when they're free. No smoking!"

Actually, I didn't want to stay here anymore, but I was afraid she would go back on her word if I left. I could only light a cigarette and smoke it out of boredom. After she warned me, I immediately put it out. Xiao Wu and the others didn't come back in after going out.

I took out my phone again and dialed Xiao Wu's number...

"Where did you guys go?" I asked with my back to the woman.

"Brother Lin, we went downstairs to make a call, but now the elevator won't come up."

"What's going on?"

"It seems to be locked. It says you need a password."

I was stunned for a moment and immediately understood. This woman must have used a trick. After saying "I understand," I went straight to her...

"Are you not planning to give the money?"

"Didn't I say the finance department will transfer it when they're free?"

"Then why can't my brothers come up?"

"This elevator is exclusive. I'm very curious as to how you came up. Your behavior is called trespassing. We can call the police."

Her words always revealed a high-handed attitude, and she was deliberately wasting time. I suddenly realized that she was delaying and playing with us!
