Xu Zhuo said weakly, "What deal... tell me."

"You said you liked me, was that true or were you just teasing me?"

Xu Zhuo was stunned and coaxed, "Of course it's true."

"Then... is it true that you are taking me far away?"

"Yes."

Zhao Xiaoqin looked at Xu Zhuo, whose eyes were wandering, and said seriously, "Then you have to swear in front of me, then I will believe what you say."

Xu Zhuo didn't know what Zhao Xiaoqin was up to. She couldn't understand this woman anymore. She could only say one thing and mean another, "I swear, I will marry you and treat you well for the rest of my life..."

Zhao Xiaoqin smiled knowingly, "Well, since you've already sworn, you will definitely take practical actions to prove that you love me, right?"

When Zhao Xiaoqin said the three words "you love me", she felt sick to her stomach.

But there was no way. The moment she pressed the pause button on the recorder, she changed her mind.

Originally, she was planning to surrender to the public security authorities with the recorded evidence, but when she saw Xu Zhuo lying on the hospital bed, she suddenly had an evil idea.

She felt that reporting the case was too easy for Xu Zhuo, as it was this man who ruined her originally peaceful life.

The trauma left by her first love had just healed, and she naively thought that she had met true love, but in the end, this man tore open her scars again and sprinkled salt on the wound.

Her first love cheated her of her feelings and her money, and this man not only cheated her of her feelings, but also led her down a path of no return. She couldn't just let this go. She wanted him to pay a heavy price.

Xu Zhuo looked at Zhao Xiaoqin eagerly, "How do you want me to prove it?"

"Didn't you say you were going to take me far away? Then I must take care of my sick mother. I've thought about it. I'll hire a nanny for her and buy her a small house. One million is enough for her life."

After saying that, Zhao Xiaoqin looked at Xu Zhuo with a smile.

Xu Zhuo suddenly became nervous.

After going around in circles, he figured out that this woman wanted to ask him for one million?

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have a million dollars. I'm just a... small driver."

Zhao Xiaoqin did not rush to refute, but said in a gentle tone:

"Aren't you planning to extort 10 million from Mr. Lu? I can cooperate with you, but the premise is that you must pay me the money in advance. Then I won't take a penny of the 10 million, all of it will belong to you. Didn't you say that Mr. Lu is rich? Maybe he will give you more than 10 million, so you won't lose anything..."

Xu Zhuo finally understood that this woman was trying to blackmail him for money.

He is not stupid. Besides, he doesn't have that much money. Most of the money he paid was borrowed from his wife.

He refused directly, "If you ask me to take one million in advance, I won't have it unless I get Mr. Lu's money."

"I'll only give you three days. You can do whatever you want. I don't care what you come up with. When the time is up, I'll have to take the recordings to the police station."

"You were the one who planned the plan to frame Mr. Lu. You also raped me and threatened me with the video to make me carry out the plan. You should understand that you are the main culprit. I am just a bystander at best. When the time comes, I will tell the police that you threatened me and said that if I don't do what you said, you will post the video online and kill me..."

"I remember you said at the time that if the main offender was sentenced to ten years in prison, a minor like me would only be sentenced to one year. You know better than anyone which is more serious, right?"

Zhao Xiaoqin told the story in a leisurely manner, but Xu Zhuo felt a chill on his back as he listened.

Is this still the simple-minded Zhao Xiaoqin he knows?

This woman actually disguised herself so well in front of him, so scheming, completely subverting his cognition...

Zhao Xiaoqin continued, "In fact, you know that it is not difficult to raise this one million. Bank loans and loan sharks are all possible.

When I was working at a supermarket, I heard that our manager borrowed high-interest loans to deal with emergencies. The loans were issued quickly and in large amounts. I will ask for you later... If you are not feeling well, take good care of yourself. Give me your ID card and I will help you get a loan."

Xu Zhuo looked at Zhao Xiaoqin in disbelief as she said these words calmly...

Zhao Xiaoqin stood up, her tone full of apology:

"I'm sorry, I hit you a little too hard. Does your waist still hurt? I wasn't like this before. I have a very good temper and rarely get angry. It's just that some things and some people have changed my personality... By the way, just lie down and I'll go get the nurse."

Xu Zhuo stared in astonishment as Zhao Xiaoqin's back disappeared at the door...

A few minutes later, Zhao Xiaoqin really called a doctor.

In front of the doctor, she looked at Xu Zhuo lying on the bed with gentle eyes, and said with heartache:

"Doctor, please help me check on my uncle. He just accidentally fell off the bed and is in so much pain that sweat is pouring down his forehead."

The doctor complained, "As a family member, how do you take care of a patient? His waist was already injured, how could he roll off the bed? Isn't this adding insult to injury? This is simply ridiculous!"

Zhao Xiaoqin explained with an apologetic look on her face:

"This is indeed my fault. I saw my uncle sleeping soundly, so I went to the water room to get some hot water. Who knew... when I went to the water room, I saw him fall to the ground when I came back. He said he had a nightmare, someone was chasing him with a knife, and he was frightened and then..."

As she spoke, Zhao Xiaoqin cast her gaze upon Xu Zhuo's face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a smug smile.

Xu Zhuo's face darkened instantly...

Longshi Public Security Bureau.

nine in the morning.

With the joint efforts of the lawyer and Lu Huohua's friend Mr. Xue, Lu Huohua was qualified for bail pending trial.

Sun Xue and Lu Tingfeng, including the legal team, as well as Lu Huohua's assistant and driver, went to the Public Security Bureau in person to pick up Lu Huohua.

As soon as they met, Sun Xue said with a sense of self-blame, "Godfather, I have wronged you these days."

Lu Huohua smiled magnanimously and said, "Isn't this good?"

Although Lu Huohua said so, Sun Xue could see at a glance that Lu Huohua looked much more haggard.

As a well-known entrepreneur, being detained by the public security bureau because of her company's affairs is not an ordinary incident.

Fortunately, Lawrence Lu was very powerful and tried his best to block the news of his detention. However, there is no such thing as a leak-proof wall, and the matter was still known by some people with ulterior motives, causing his company's stock price to fluctuate significantly. In just a few days, he lost tens of millions.

This is also the reason why he tried every means to apply for bail pending trial. He wanted to appear in the company as soon as possible to curb the spread of negative news and stabilize the company's situation.

The car started slowly and drove towards the hotel. The atmosphere in the car was a bit solemn, and Lu Huohua frowned...

"Mr. Lu, we have booked a flight for you at noon. Please go to the hotel to take a hot bath and rest for a while, then we will set off." The assistant carefully reported the next itinerary arrangements.

Lu Huohua looked down at his watch and immediately ordered, "Let's not go to the hotel. Tingfeng, ask the woman named Zhao Xiaoqin out. I want to meet her."
