?
"Just name your price."
He tried to steer the negotiations back on track, straight to the numbers.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian only leaned back in her chair and looked at him with a faint smile, as if he was a joke.
"You can't afford my price! What if I want 100 billion, one trillion yuan? Are you willing to pay?"
100 billion?
One trillion?
Mr. Zhou became exceptionally angry. He gritted his teeth and reminded her in a low voice, "I'm being sincere!"
It meant that Qiao Nian's number was too much of a joke.
The total market value of the Zhou family might be as much as Qiao Nian said, but everyone knew that market value was not equivalent to liquid funds.
No one could fork out so much money.
The girl wasn't well-behaved. She looked like an unreasonable person and didn't fall for his tricks. Instead, her gaze was penetrating.
Mr. Zhou felt an inexplicable chill. He pursed his lips and softened his expression. "Miss Qiao, you can consider for a moment."
"Do you think you can still get out?" Qiao Nian asked casually.
Mr. Zhou was stunned by her question and frowned. "My lawyer is on his way here."
In other words, he could be bailed out when his lawyer arrived.
Unexpectedly, meeting Qiao Nian's cold eyes, Mr. Zhou suddenly paused and his expression became uneasy.
"What do you mean?"
Qiao Nian couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush. She stood up and looked down at him. "In your eyes, Aunt Chen and her family might be worse than ants, but here, you've broken the law. Your actions have already constituted a crime and incited others to commit a crime. Zhou Zheng will be sentenced to 20 years. Your actions will easily get you two years. I'll explain this to you in detail when your lawyer comes..."
Mr. Zhou's expression finally changed drastically. His shoulders trembled and he could not maintain his so-called dignity. His lips were ashen as he looked up at the girl. "Are you trying to push our family into a dead end?!"
"I never pushed you."
Qiao Nian's eyes were calm. Only endless darkness and a tyrannical aura burned in them. "Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. The only person I went after was Zhou Zheng. You've been in Beijing for a week or two. Have I looked for trouble with you?"
Qiao Nian had indeed not caused trouble for them. She simply had not met them.
Mr. Zhou tried to speak, but the girl had already lost her patience. "I'll help you answer your previous question.
"I brought Zhou Zheng back to the country not because he offended me, but because he targeted the people around me. I might have let him off if he went after me. However, he stepped on my bottom line. Don't blame me for not leaving him a way out, because he didn't even leave himself a way out. Just like... President Zhou, you made the same choice today!"
Back then, Zhou Zheng had attacked Master Cheng and almost killed him.
Today, Mr. Zhou went after Uncle Chen.
Although he said he didn't want to do anything to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, he had already made his move. How could he have so many plans?
"You think you're different, all high and mighty. In my eyes, you're the same as Zhou Zheng. You're both courting death."
With that, Qiao Nian ignored his changing expression and walked out of the interrogation room without looking back.
Upon reaching the door, she suddenly stopped.
