Chapter 225 Overcoming Difficulties
She is almost a left-behind child, bearing the pain and pressure of growing up alone.
As for Song Xiaoshan, she grew up in the prosperous Shanghai. She was pampered, protected and raised in the palm of her hand all the way. She had never suffered any hardship or fatigue.
When she used to spend hundreds of dollars on a meal in a five-star hotel, Cheng Yingzi might still be alone in a corner, brushing the toilet and emptying the spittoon.
That kind of person is not even worthy of carrying her shoes!
And now, he had fallen to the point of being entangled with such a person, and even almost died at her hands!
She ended up like this because of Song Xiaomei, Song Xiaochen, and Chen Yan!
These three people were like invisible ropes, pulling her step by step into the bottomless abyss.
Song Xiaoshan patted her knee, which was bruised from the fall. Blood was seeping from her knee, but she didn't feel the pain at all. The corner of her mouth raised slightly and she sneered, "Whether there was arson or not, you know it yourself."
There was a hint of contempt in her tone, and her eyes showed unconcealed sarcasm.
I guess Cheng Yingzi won’t be able to go far.
Arson is a serious crime. Once confirmed by the police, the offender will be sent to prison and sentenced.
In that case, why not take advantage of the opportunity to reap more benefits before she is completely finished?
She spoke slowly, each word coming out very slowly, her voice carrying a sense of oppression and significance: "Yingzi, you know, I used to tell you everything. I've never been very tight-lipped."
She paused for a moment, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Tell me, if I tell Chen Yan what I know, or tell the police directly...will they come after you immediately?"
Her voice was calm, but her tone was like an icy blade, pointing directly at Cheng Yingzi's heart.
Cheng Yingzi was trembling all over when she heard this. She was so angry that she could hardly control herself. She raised her finger and pointed at Song Xiaoshan, her hand shaking uncontrollably: "You are so shameless!"
She almost gritted her teeth, her chest heaving violently, her eyes full of shock, anger and disbelief.
Don't forget, it was Cheng Yingzi who was dragged into this mess because of Song Xiaoshan. She did that thing just to vent her anger for Song Xiaoshan!
And now, Song Xiaoshan actually turned around and threatened herself!
Seeing this, Song Xiaoshan spread her hands, a look of grievance on her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She said, "How can I be considered shameless? Arson is a very serious matter. It not only burns other people's property, but it can also take lives!"
Her tone suddenly changed, sounding particularly righteous: "I cooperated with the police investigation for the sake of justice. Is that wrong?"
After saying that, she turned her head and looked directly into Cheng Yingzi's eyes. There was a sense of oppression in her eyes, as if a hunter had locked onto its prey. The corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Yingzi, I have had some health problems recently. I am sick. The doctor said that I need treatment as soon as possible. The medical expenses are 5,000 yuan... I am sure you are willing to do me a favor?"
Her tone was relaxed, even a little teasing, but to Cheng Yingzi, these words were like a bolt from the blue.
Cheng Yingzi immediately understood that this was not a request, but a naked blackmail.
She gnashed her teeth in anger, her neck flushed red, and she almost shouted, "How can I have so much money!"
“I really don’t have any money!”
She almost used up all her strength to shout out this sentence, but her voice was trembling, as if she had lost her last bit of confidence.
Song Xiaoshan shrugged, an innocent yet embarrassed expression on her face. "What should I do? If the police come and question me, what should I say?"
In one sentence, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Hearing this, Cheng Yingzi felt a suffocation in her throat, as if someone was pinching her trachea and she couldn't breathe at all.
If I had known this would be the outcome, I shouldn't have done such an illegal thing out of momentary anger, jealousy and resentment.
She regretted it deeply, but it was too late to make amends.
No matter how much she wanted Shen Yan to get into trouble, she should have calmed down at that time, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and waited for a better time and a more appropriate arrangement. For example, it would have been a wise choice to let Song Xiaoshan take action personally!
After all, that way, even if something goes wrong, she won't get stuck in the quagmire!
Cheng Yingzi was filled with regret. Why shouldn't she have personally intervened in this matter?
As emotions surged, the scene at that time kept flashing through her mind. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"Yingzi, are you willing to pay?"
Song Xiaoshan frowned and continued in a calm but impatient tone.
"If you don't want to, just say so. Don't waste everyone's time."
Her tone was obviously oppressive, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry, but she knew that every word she said could stab Cheng Yingzi in the heart.
She must not be caught, let alone go to jail!
She still has a future, dreams, and countless things she hasn't had time to do!
"I only have two thousand dollars at most."
Cheng Yingzi suppressed the anger and fear in her heart and spoke slowly.
Her tone was full of reluctance, as well as a hint of pleading and weakness.
"No," Song Xiaoshan shook her head gently and said firmly, "Five thousand this time."
She spoke slowly, and every word she uttered was like a heavy hammer to Cheng Yingzi.
Cheng Yingzi was so angry that she almost jumped up and down. She pointed at the other person with a trembling finger and shouted in a higher voice: "Do you think your life is so valuable? Believe it or not, I can find someone to beat you up!"
Her voice was sharp and angry, but it could not hide the powerlessness and anxiety in her heart.
"It's not that my life is valuable, but are you worth these five thousand?"
Song Xiaoshan still smiled calmly and responded bluntly.
Her calm face was like a mirror, reflecting Cheng Yingzi's inner weakness and unbearableness.
Of course, don't push too hard.
It is easier to achieve your goal if you do things step by step.
So she slowed down her tone and softened it a little: "Take your time to think about it. I'll come to see you again tomorrow at noon."
"If you think you're worth five thousand, then we'll meet here again. I'll be waiting for your 'life-saving' money."
She added.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Cheng Yingzi and said, "But if you don't think you are worth five thousand, you won't come. Then I can only go to talk to Shen Yan or the police."
After she finished speaking, she didn't even glance at Cheng Yingzi again. She walked away without looking back, her steps steady and decisive.
Cheng Yingzi stood there, her whole body trembling slightly, even her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
At this moment, she felt as if the whole world was collapsing.
She would rather die than go to jail!
That was a place she could never accept!
She gritted her teeth, not caring to calm down, and hurried out of the small room and ran to other private rooms in the nightclub to find Hu Xinxin.
Hu Xinxin is well-off and she must be able to help her solve the current difficulties.
