Seeing no sound on the other end of the phone, Zhang Zhaodi asked in confusion, "Xiaoqin, are you listening to me?"

"Hey! Hey! Xiaoqin, why aren't you talking?"

Just as Zhao Xiaoqin was about to speak, Xu Zhuo gave her a stern warning with his eyes!

Zhao Xiaoqin immediately shut her mouth.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Zhang Zhaodi hung up the phone with a frown, muttering, "What's going on? He answered the phone but didn't say anything."

Xu Zhuo threw his phone on the table and asked sternly, "What on earth does this woman named Meihua do?

Zhao Xiaoqin was so scared that she curled up on the bed and replied in a low voice, "I don't know either. She... didn't tell me."

"What did you say to her?"

Zhao Xiaoqin shook her head vigorously. "No, I didn't say anything."

Xu Zhuo yelled, "Are you still lying to me?"

Xu Zhuo stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Xiaoqin's hair, pulled her off the bed to the ground, and slapped her in the face. Zhao Xiaoqin's thin body fell to the ground.

Xu Zhuo pointed at the fallen Zhao Xiaoqin and cursed:

"You betrayed me, didn't you? What did I tell you? Didn't I tell you not to tell anyone about our affairs? Believe it or not, I will post the video online right now, and you will never be able to hold your head up again in your life!"

Zhao Xiaoqin covered her face and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, please forgive me..."

Zhao Xiaoqin has seen the video. In the video, Xu Zhuo's face was processed and looked blurry, while her face was clearly visible.

If Xu Zhuo really posted the video on the Internet, how would she live her life!

The frenzied Xu Zhuo kicked Zhao Xiaoqin hard as she fell to the ground, "Will you dare to do it again in the future?"

Zhao Xiaoqin replied tremblingly, "I won't dare to do that again. I won't dare to do that again in the future."

Xu Zhuo's face turned blue with anger, and he glared at Zhao Xiaoqin on the ground with an expression of disappointment:

"Do you know who that woman is? She is the secretary of my enemy. She came here specifically to investigate this matter. But you were fooled by her and said whatever she said.

I warn you, we are now on the same boat. If you tell the truth, neither of us can escape. You understand that you are the mastermind and I am at best an accomplice. If you go to jail for ten years, I will only go to jail for one year at most. "

When Zhao Xiaoqin heard that she would be sentenced to ten years in prison, she was so scared that her legs went limp.

She couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, and begged, "Boss Xu, I don't want to go to jail. I won't dare to say anything nonsense again. From now on, I will listen to you."

Seeing this, Xu Zhuo changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book. He squatted down and helped Zhao Xiaoqin up, saying in a kind tone:

"Okay, stop crying. I shouldn't have hit you. I apologize. I have a bad temper, but what you did was wrong. If our plan is exposed, we will go to jail."

Zhao Xiaoqin cried even more sadly. When she thought about how Xu Zhuo slapped her several times and how her face was still burning, she felt very upset.

But when she thought of what Xu Zhuo said, she was terrified.

She was afraid that Xu Zhuo would post the video on the Internet. She was even more afraid that Xu Zhuo would ask her to take out 100,000 yuan immediately. She was even more afraid of going to jail if the truth came to light.

Xu Zhuo pretended to go to the bathroom to get some hot water, and put a hot towel on Zhao Xiaoqin's red and swollen face, and said with a guilty look:

"Honey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hit you. I deserve it. I slapped you a few times, and you slapped me back hard."

As he spoke, he leaned down and put his head in front of Zhao Xiaoqin, "As long as you are not angry anymore, you can punish me however you want."

Zhao Xiaoqin didn't say anything and didn't do anything. Xu Zhuo's attitude of actively admitting his mistakes made her less angry.

Xu Zhuo was busy serving Zhao Xiaoqin, and with his sweet talk, Zhao Xiaoqin's anger soon subsided, and she was held in Xu Zhuo's arms again.

"Dear, do you know? This society is more complicated than you think. Many people take the initiative to get close to you with a purpose.

Just like the girl named Meihua, she said you looked like her sister, but it was actually a trap she carefully designed to get you to tell her the truth and then send us to jail. You foolishly believed her sweet talk. If I hadn't discovered and exposed her in time, we would have been taken to the police station by now. Do you understand?"

Zhao Xiaoqin nodded aggrievedly.

Xu Zhuo only suspected that Zhang Zhaodi was sent by President Lu, but he didn't know her specific identity.

He specifically checked Zhang Zhaodi's personal information at the hotel front desk based on the room number and found that the name registered was Liu Xiaoling, a native of Longshi.

After being persuaded by Xu Zhuo, Zhao Xiaoqin believed what Xu Zhuo said.

Xu Zhuo looked at Zhao Xiaoqin, who was leaning against his chest with red and swollen eyes, and said, "Now, we must negotiate with them as soon as possible. Just say what I taught you, understand? We must get the money as soon as possible. This matter will be complicated if we wait too long. We can't delay it any longer."

Zhao Xiaoqin nodded, "I understand."

Xu Zhuo nodded in satisfaction. "Follow my instructions. And as for that woman, you have to find a way to get some information out of her to see what her purpose is."

At the same time, Zhang Zhaodi had just returned from outside and she bought a recorder specially.

She had made up her mind that the next time she met Zhao Xiaoqin, she would secretly record their conversation and use it as evidence to call the police and have them arrested.

In the hotel room, Sun Xue and Lu Tingfeng were discussing the next plan.

Sun Xue thought for a moment and suggested, "Tingfeng, why don't we call the police?"

Lu Tingfeng shook his head. "It's not the right time to call the police now. If Zhao Xiaoqin and Xu Zhuo deny it, and we don't have sufficient evidence, we can only alert them. When Zhaodi gets the truth out of Zhao Xiaoqin, it won't be too late to call the police with evidence."

"By the way, Tingfeng, I haven't received any calls from Wu Zechen in the past few days. It feels a bit abnormal!"

Lu Tingfeng nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also think it's a bit abnormal, maybe something happened in his company..."

When Lu Tingfeng said this, he suddenly looked at Sun Xue and muttered to himself, "Is she hiding? I'll call my friend and ask her right away."

Lu Tingfeng immediately called a friend to verify.

Sure enough, just as he guessed, his friend told him that Wu Zechen’s financial company collapsed, and many investors including the police were looking for Wu Zechen everywhere, but Wu Zechen suddenly disappeared.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Tingfeng exclaimed, "Sun Xue, Wu Zechen's company really collapsed, and he disappeared. Did he... run away?"

"Tingfeng, what should we do now?"

"Let's proceed as planned. It's a good thing for you that he ran away. Let's find a way to get to the bottom of my father's case as soon as possible."
