Half an hour later, the doorbell of Building 109 rang.

Qiao Xingyu asked in confusion, "Who?"

"Qiao Xingyu, it's me!" Qi Huan appeared at her door, fuming.

Qiao Xingyu opened the door in shock: "Qi Huan? What are you doing here!"

"If you can be here, why can't I? I'm a rich heiress, after all!" Qi Huan said irritably as she walked in.

Qiao Xingyu didn't argue with her and quickly followed her inside: "Did you need something?"

"I'll show you something good." Qi Huan said, sitting on the sofa and showing her a video on his phone.

Qiao Xingyu was stunned when she saw the video. She never expected that Qi Huan would secretly film her arguing with that old man.

She subconsciously looked up in the direction of villa 110.

"Are you threatening me?"

"That's right, it's because you gave me leverage over me!" Qi Huan said frankly.

Qiao Xingyu sneered: "Your video has no sound, so who knows what we said?"

"So you're saying that mute people don't have to take responsibility for crimes? Don't you deserve to have 'lip reading' skills...?"

Qi Huan suddenly realized something and stared at the video in surprise.

"Right! Just find someone who can read lips to translate, and we'll know everything." Qi Huan thought she was too smart.

Qiao Xingyu glared at her with eyes wide with fury: "You dare!"

"You'll see if I dare!" Qi Huan got up and prepared to find someone to translate.

"Wait!" Qiao Xingyu called out to her.

Qi Huan stopped and turned around.

Qiao Xingyu was worried that the video would be translated and that her deception of Shen Baiyan by impersonating her sister would be exposed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want to do? Tell me!"

"Ten million, every penny of it, give it to me tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll translate this video and post it online so you can also trend on social media alongside Gu Qingling!" Qi Huan said with a smile after thinking for a moment.

Qiao Xingyu refused: "No! Ten million is too much, I can't come up with that."

"You don't have any, but Shen Baiyan has plenty. Don't you think you're his ideal woman? Go find him and see if he's willing to give you money." Qi Huan stabbed her in the heart.

"You...!" Qiao Xingyu was furious.

"It's no use getting impatient with me. I'm only giving you one night. If you don't see the money by tomorrow morning, I'll ruin your reputation!" Qi Huan said, then left feeling relieved.

That's great! Lin Xingxue asked her for five million, and she turned around and earned five million from Qiao Xingyu.

Qiao Xingyu was furious, so she had no choice but to go to Lin Xingxue.

"What is it?" Lin Xingxue asked.

"The price has been changed to ten million," Qiao Xingyu said.

Lin Xingxue was almost speechless with shock: "Even loan sharks aren't as ruthless as you. How long has it been and the price has gone up?"

"I don't care! If I don't see ten million by tomorrow, I'll give the video to Gu Dongting." Qiao Xingyu said this and left.

Lin Xingxue didn't expect Qiao Xingyu to suddenly change her mind. Not only would she not earn four million, but she would also have to lose another five million.

Thinking of this, Lin Xingxue couldn't sit still any longer, so she went to find Qi Huan.

Qi Huan was displeased to see her: "Isn't it not time yet?"

"The price has changed to fifteen million. If you don't see the money by tomorrow, you can expect to get married!" Lin Xingxue said before leaving.

Ten minutes later, Qi Huan found Qiao Xingyu.

Qiao Xingyu looked at her with dissatisfaction: "It's only just gotten dark, there's still plenty of time tomorrow!"

"The price has been changed to 20 million. If you don't see the money by tomorrow, you'll become an internet sensation!"

Qi Huan was about to leave after speaking when Qiao Xingyu suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Wait!" Qiao Xingyu called out to Qi Huan.

Qi Huan turned around: "What?"

Qiao Xingyu tentatively asked, "Do you know Lin Xingxue?"

Just then, Lin Xingxue went out to take out the trash and saw the two acting suspiciously. She immediately understood what was going on.

He shouted angrily, "Fine, you're all ganging up on me to extort money!"

"Lin Xingxue!"

"Lin Xingxue!"

Qiao Xingyu and Qi Huan turned around and exclaimed in unison.

A short while later—

Three women sat in the living room of Qiao Xingyu's villa.

"Tell me, what happened?" Qiao Xingyu asked.

"What? What's going on? Even cats catching mice isn't as exciting as you guys," Qi Huan said, gesturing with her lips.

At this moment, Lin Xingxue gradually understood: "I understand. I have something on Qiao Xingyu, Qiao Xingyu has something on Qi Huan, and Qi Huan has something on me."

Upon hearing this, Qi Huan suddenly realized: "That's right! That must be it!"

Qiao Xingyu was speechless: "After all this time, we've come full circle back to me?"

Lin Xingxue asked Qiao Xingyu, "What do you need the money for?"

"I only wanted one million, but Miss Qi actually asked me for ten million," Qiao Xingyu said indignantly.

"Miss Lin asked me for five million, and I thought I should keep some for myself, so I raised it by five million," Qi Huan said truthfully.

Qiao Xingyu questioned Lin Xingxue: "Miss Lin, how can you be so greedy? I asked for a million, and you just quadrupled it!"

Lin Xingxue looked at Qi Huan: "Miss Qi is no less impressive."

Qi Huan asked, "So what do we do now?"

"Since that's the case, let's forget about the million. We each have our weaknesses, so let's just leave it at that!" Qiao Xingyu said helplessly.

One hour later—

Qiao Xingyu called Shen Baiyan.

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

"Baiyan, are you busy?" Qiao Xingyu asked gently.

"Secretary Qiao, is something the matter?" Shen Baiyan asked sarcastically.

"Bai Yan, to tell you the truth, I'm not Jiang Jinyu's secretary. I deliberately asked him to act in order to see your reaction," Qiao Xingyu said truthfully, setting aside her pride.

Shen Baiyan scoffed, "Watch my reaction? What kind of reaction could I possibly have?"

"I'm so disappointed. I never imagined you didn't care about me at all," Qiao Xingyu said, disappointed.
