Chapter 34 Romantic Debt (3)

"Later, one day, I invited her to one of my private rooms and handed her a check for 1 million RMB. I told her to leave the company as soon as possible and use the money to start her own business. At that time, she was very excited. She said that she would live up to my expectations and make a career. We were so happy that we got together again..." Mr. Lao Qiao.

According to his plan, from then on, they often met in the private room of this five-star hotel. For Lao Qiao, he couldn't live without a young, beautiful and loyal girl like Lina; for Lina, she was also grateful to this financial sponsor... They just used each other and needed each other.

"Besides the check for one million yuan, did you give Lina any other money later?" Sun Liang asked.

"Alas. This is a romantic debt I owe! How can I not give it to her again?" Mr. Lao Qiao.

"She spent all the one million in the first year of setting up the company. In the second year, there was not enough money for ordering and transportation costs. She came to me and cried about the difficulties of starting a business. I also sympathized with her. She originally had a bright future, but because of my wife and I, we forced her onto the road of entrepreneurship..." It can be seen that Lina is also good at subduing General Lao Qiao.

"Starting from the second year, I invested hundreds of thousands more every year. Over the years, I invested probably two to three million." Mr. Lao Qiao.

"After three years of living next door, her business started to pick up and she was already making some money. During our get-togethers, I felt much more relaxed and she complained less about her poverty to me."

"After living next door for four years, for some reason, she seldom came to see me. It wasn't easy for me to see her. By then, I was probably in my seventies, and I had less interest in that kind of thing." Mr. Lao Qiao.

"So, you rarely contacted each other later?" Sun Liang asked.

"Yes. I thought that if her business was doing well, I would have to worry less and, of course, spend less money. So I didn't take the initiative to contact her." Mr. Lao Qiao.

"So, what do you think of Lina?" Sun Liang asked.

"She is a very lovely girl. She knows how to please me. She always jokes with me or sleeps with me... She is very smart and good at dealing with different people. Of course, in terms of work ability, she is a little weak. In the past few years, if it weren't for my support, I'm afraid she would not have been able to hold on." Mr. Lao Qiao.

"Her relationship with other people, for example, her relationship with your wife, her relationship with your son..." Sun Liang asked.

"Of course, my wife and I are at odds with each other. As for my son? There shouldn't be much relationship between them. There is basically no intersection between them in work or business..." Mr. Lao Qiao.

It seems that he still doesn't know that his son has an affair with Lina...Sun Liang thought.

So, Mr. Qiao was the financial backer of Lina's company, providing her with periodic support. Meanwhile, Qiao Keli was the mastermind behind the illegal business. Lina, presumably, was driven to commit crimes in pursuit of greater wealth... Sun Liang's thoughts gradually became clearer.

"What do you think of your son?" Sun Liang suddenly asked a very abrupt question.

"Why do you ask? Of course, fathers usually value their sons very much." Mr. Lao Qiao.

He then told the police that his son, Qiao Keli, was incredibly self-sufficient and a model for what he did. Among his friends, Qiao Keli was considered a role model for inheriting his father's legacy. In some families, sons not only spent all their money but also squandered the family fortune, leaving their fathers furious and ready to strike. However, if one actually encountered such a prodigal son, anger wouldn't have any effect.

"I am very proud of him. When we were doing business, the import and export trade was still extensive. As long as you had goods, you could make money. But now, when commodities are extremely abundant, not only do you have to have goods, but you also have to have them in short supply and in high demand to make money. Those common goods can only lead to losses..." Mr. Lao Qiao.

Just when we got here, Mr. Lao Qiao's wife came home.

She was wearing a white dress and a light blue coat. She looked very young, not like a woman in her sixties, but more like a woman in her forties.

"Who is this?" Sun Liang looked at the stylishly dressed woman in front of him, guessing she was Mr. Qiao's wife, so he took the initiative to ask Mr. Qiao.

"Oh, this is my wife Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan, this is a policeman from the Criminal Police Brigade, he came to our house to ask some questions." Lao Qiao said, introducing them to both sides.

"Hello."

"Hello."

After Sun Liang greeted Fang Yuan, he said to Mr. Lao Qiao:

"Mr. Qiao, this is the end of our consultation. Next, I would like to talk to Ms. Fang Yuan." Sun Liang.

"Okay, then you guys talk. I'll go upstairs and rest first." General Lao Qiao stood up, his tall frame slowly moving towards the stairs...

"Comrade police, you are here to investigate..." Fang Yuan went straight to the point.

"Oh, we are here to learn about the situation of Lina, whom you are familiar with." Sun Liang.

"This woman is simply a social scum and a piece of trash. She's like a leech, sucking blood from people." Fang Yuan felt an instinctive disgust when he heard Lina's name, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, Ms. Fang Yuan, when we police officers handle cases, we focus on evidence and facts. It's useless to make arbitrary conclusions and accuse others. I hope you can provide some facts that you have seen or heard with your own eyes." Sun Liang.

"This is too easy. I hired a private detective to help me track that old guy. As long as he has any affair with other women, I will know it first. So, I successfully kicked that witch Lina out of the company!" Fang Yuan.

A woman like her, at the center of wealth, was particularly sensitive to third parties and adulterers. Because these matters would affect her wealth and her status within the family. For decades, while her husband worked away from home to earn money, she had mastered every possible means of combating third parties and adulterers, and she always eliminated these seductresses with precision and ruthlessness. Therefore, whenever the topic came up, she was like a stimulant, eloquent and unstoppable...

"Besides the affair with your husband, does Lina have any other problems?" Sun Liang couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he interrupted her expressionlessly.

"Oh... let me think about it."

"By the way, she also tried to seduce my son. I discovered it. I had a long talk with my son and warned him." Fang Yuan.

"She's probably scared of being poor. She'll sleep with anyone who pays her. She's worse than a prostitute! Prostitutes work for money, but she'll work even for free. A woman like that should be shot if caught!" Women her age are probably all a bit hysterical. Looking at Fang Yuan's ferocious face, Sun Liang thought, it looked like he wouldn't be able to get any useful clues from her.
