924: Chapter 923 Crying Li Qin 924: Chapter 923 Crying Li Qin In the end, Li Qin had no choice but to do exactly as Wang Dadong said.

“Brother, are you done yet?

I need to wash up,” Little Nurse urged impatiently.

“All done.

You can go now.” Upon hearing Little Nurse’s voice, Wang Dadong gently opened the door and handed the phone back to Li Qin as well.

“That bastard!

He actually returned my phone!

I’ll expose you guys; I’ll upload the video online right now!” Li Qin cursed fiercely as she stepped out of the room.

But as she checked the contents of her phone, she was stunned.

She discovered that the original video had been deleted, but in its place, there were a whole bunch of photos—all of herself.

Li Qin seemed to realize something and quickly checked her sent items, finding that those photos had indeed been sent to an unknown number.

Li Qin slumped onto a chair in despair.

This was it—game over.

She came intending to secretly film others, but now she herself had been photographed.

Thinking this, Li Qin began to cry softly.

“Sister Qin, why are you crying?” Li Qin’s female colleague, who was covering her shift, asked with concern.

“It’s nothing!” Li Qin continued sobbing, refusing to explain.

How could she possibly tell anyone about this!

“Sister Qin, if you’re feeling upset, why don’t you go home and rest?

I’ll take over your shift.”

Li Qin nodded and said Xie Xie, then walked out of the hotel looking utterly defeated.

“Brother, are you done yet?

I need to use the bathroom.” Little Nurse’s voice grew urgent.

“Done, done.”

Little Nurse finally skipped over happily.

After using the bathroom, Little Nurse began to wash up, but Wang Dadong’s phone suddenly rang.

It turned out to be Li Qin.

After going home and thinking it over countless times, she had decided to talk to Wang Dadong about the matter.

After all, Wang Dadong now had compromising photos of her.

If those were leaked, she’d have no choice but to wear a mask whenever she went out.

“Tell me, what will it take for you to let me go?” Li Qin’s voice was choked with sobs.

For a woman, this was far too serious—enough to utterly ruin her.

“I already let you go, didn’t I?” Wang Dadong replied playfully.

Wang Dadong sounded carefree, yet Li Qin was deeply anguished.

“If you return the photos to me, I’m willing to give you money…” Li Qin gritted her teeth and said.

Wang Dadong chuckled and replied, “No problem.

Ten thousand per photo.”

“What!” Li Qin exclaimed over the phone.

Ten thousand per photo!

Wang Dadong had taken seven or eight photos in total—that’s seventy to eighty thousand!

Seventy to eighty thousand meant nothing to Wang Dadong, but to Li Qin, who worked at a hotel earning only a few thousand per month, it was astronomical.

She might have to work for over ten years without spending a single penny to come up with that kind of money.

The sheer enormity of the figure nearly made her faint.

Of course, Wang Dadong didn’t actually want Li Qin’s money.

He just wanted to scare her a bit.

After all, he was the one who had been targeted.

If it had been someone else in his place, Li Qin might’ve succeeded.

If the videos Li Qin had planned to record were leaked, they would’ve ruined another woman’s life.

Fortunately, Li Qin was a woman, and Wang Dadong had a soft spot for women.

If it had been a man, Wang Dadong might’ve slapped him so hard he’d get a concussion.

Anyone who dared hurt his women would pay dearly.

Li Qin fell silent for a long time before finally pleading, “Can you lower the amount?

I…

I don’t have that much money.”

“Five thousand per photo!”

“I…

I still don’t have enough.

The most I can afford is one thousand per photo…” Even at one thousand per photo, the total would come to seven or eight thousand—almost an entire year’s earnings for Li Qin if she didn’t spend a cent.

Even though the hotel was three-star, how high could a front desk receptionist’s wages be?

This was basically her limit, and she’d have to borrow the rest.

“Fine.” Wang Dadong agreed readily.

Since someone was offering him free money, Wang Dadong wouldn’t refuse.

More importantly, this would teach Li Qin a lesson and ensure she would never try something like this again.

“See you in an hour at the Starbucks Cafe next to the hotel,” Li Qin said before hanging up.

Wang Dadong didn’t care much about money.

Millions and billions were just numbers to him, and seventy to eighty thousand was as insignificant as the cost of a meal.

But he failed to understand what seventy to eighty thousand meant to an ordinary working girl.

After hanging up, Li Qin’s panicked heart settled a little.

Being able to buy back the photos was undoubtedly a good thing.

If she couldn’t get them back, she’d just go jump off a building.

Otherwise, if the photos were revealed, it would be a complete disaster.

Li Qin gathered all her bank cards and checked her balance at an ATM.

She found she only had a little over twenty thousand.

Then she drove to her favorite gym.

Li Qin usually went there for yoga and had purchased an annual membership card, preloaded with one thousand dollars.

To gather funds, she decided to get the card refunded.

When Li Qin asked for the refund, the gym trainer who usually fawned over her instantly turned as sour as coal.

Nevertheless, he didn’t make things difficult for her and processed the refund, giving her seven hundred back.

Now she had three thousand total, but she was still five thousand short of the needed eight thousand.

Finally, Li Qin drove to a flagship dealership to sell her car.

Her car was a manual, low-spec Honda Civic 1.8L displacement, purchased two years ago for ninety-eight thousand.

It was well-maintained, but the dealership only offered her forty-five thousand.

They clearly figured out she was desperate and intentionally lowballed her.

Normally, it would’ve sold for over sixty thousand.

But to gather money, Li Qin had no choice and sold the car.

Now she had seventy-five thousand—still five thousand short of eight thousand.

Five thousand wasn’t a huge amount, and she figured she could borrow that from her colleagues.

But to her disappointment, after making several calls to her close friends, they all claimed they had no money.

Various excuses came up—someone’s child was sick, someone’s elderly parent needed care, or their money was stuck in the stock market.

In the end, only Xiao Li, a new coworker covering her shift today, offered to lend her two thousand.

After running around, Li Qin had pieced together seven thousand eight hundred, nearly an hour had passed, and she took a cab to the hotel.

She planned to get Xiao Li’s two thousand and resolve the matter first.

Though it wasn’t the full eight thousand, it was at least close—if worst came to worst, she’d ask the perverted manager to lend her another two or three thousand.

“Sister Qin, didn’t you have a car?

Why did you take a cab here?” Xiao Li asked curiously when she saw Li Qin arrive by taxi.

At the mention of her car, Li Qin almost burst into tears.

She had scrimped and saved for one to two years to buy that car, financing most of it only to finish paying off the loan just recently.
