"As long as you name a price."
He tried to get the negotiations on track by talking directly about numbers.
Who knew that Qiao Nian just raised his head and leaned back slightly on the chair, looking at him with a half-smile, as if he was a joke.
"You can't afford the price I offer! I want 100 billion, 1 trillion, will you give me that?"
One hundred billion
one trillion
Father Zhou's expression became extremely angry, and he gritted his teeth and reminded her in a deep voice: "I am talking to you with sincerity!"
What this means is that the number Qiao Nian proposed is too much of a joke.
The total market value of the Zhou family may be as high as the number Qiao Nian said, but everyone knows that market value is not equal to liquid funds.
No one can come up with that much money.
The girl didn't sit so properly and looked like an unreasonable person. She didn't fall for his tricks and instead looked at him with eyes that could see through people's hearts.
Seeing Zhou's father's inexplicable fear, he pursed his lips and relaxed his expression: "Miss Qiao, you can consider it."
"Do you think you can still get out?" Qiao Nian didn't answer him, but asked casually.
Father Zhou was startled by her question and frowned: "My lawyer is on the way."
The implication is that he can be bailed out once his lawyer arrives.
Who knew that when he met Qiao Nian's cold eyes, Zhou's father suddenly couldn't continue speaking and his expression became uneasy.
"What do you mean?"
Qiao Nian was too lazy to beat around the bush with him, so she stood up and looked down at him: "In your eyes, Aunt Chen and the others may be worse than ants, but here, you have violated the law. Your behavior has constituted a crime and incited others to commit a crime. Zhou Zheng was sentenced to 20 years, and your behavior in the past few days will be wiped out, so it's no problem to sentence you to 2 years. These will be explained to you in detail when your lawyer comes..."
Father Zhou's face finally changed drastically, his shoulders trembled, and he failed to maintain his so-called dignity. His lips turned blue as he looked up at the girl: "Are you going to push our family to the brink of death?!"
"I never pushed you."
Qiao Nian's eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, just as she said, there was no shadow of Zhou's father in her eyes at all, only endless darkness, and a rebellious aura burning like wildfire.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. I'm only looking for Zhou Zheng. You've been messing around in Beijing for a week or two. Have I ever caused you any trouble?"
"… "
Qiao Nian certainly didn't cause them any trouble, but he didn't see them either.
Father Zhou didn't have time to speak.
The girl seemed to be too disdainful to argue with him any further and didn't have the patience to continue chatting with him: "I'll help you answer the previous question."
"The reason why I brought Zhou Zheng back to China is not because he offended me, but because he set his sights on the people around me. If he had come directly at me, I might have let him go, but he crossed my bottom line, so don't blame me for not leaving him a way out, because he didn't leave a way out for himself. Just like... Mr. Zhou, you chose today!"
Zhou Zheng originally targeted Master Cheng and almost killed him.
Today, Zhou's father targeted Uncle Chen.
Although he said that he had no intention of doing anything to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, he had to do it anyway. There was no need to make so many plans.
"You think you are different and superior. In my eyes, you and Zhou Zheng are both people who are courting death."
After Qiao Nian finished speaking, she walked out of the interrogation room without looking back, regardless of his changing expressions and facial features.
When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.
