"Tick tock, tick tock..."
The wall clock was meticulously ticking along.
It was already over twenty minutes past eight in the evening, exceeding the deadline set by the "ultimatum."
That scammer seemed to have targeted him.
Moreover, Jiang Chen hadn't heeded CEO Cao's advice; he hadn't downloaded the anti-fraud app, resulting in repeated harassment, until the scammer lost patience and directly sent a text message.
The message was simple.
An account.
A deadline.
One billion US dollars within 24 hours, or face the consequences.
The message was received last night at eight o'clock.
Obviously.
Boss Jiang was a man who couldn't be swayed by force, not because he couldn't afford the money, but because he didn't want to be a fool featured in anti-fraud campaigns.
The anti-fraud campaigns were so high-profile.
Various communities often displayed banners of some owner "making the honor roll."
"Come take a look."
