Chapter 798: Asking for Money



When he arrived at the witness's door, he took a deep breath, adjusted his demeanor, and tried to appear calm. He knocked on the door, and the door opened. The witness looked at him in surprise.

Xu Zhixu rang the doorbell, waiting for the unknown to arrive. His heartbeat echoed in his ears, as if reminding him that he was heading down a dangerous road.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, bringing a slight pain that made him slightly more awake.

The door opened, and the witness appeared before him. Their eyes met, and a silent tension filled the air.

Xu Zhixu forced himself to calm down. He took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and tried his best to make his voice sound calm and friendly. "Hello, I'm Xu Zhixu. I have something I want to talk to you about."

The witness looked at him puzzledly and motioned him to come in.

Xu Zhixu walked into the house, looked around, and found a comfortable sofa to sit on.

He looked at the witness and began to organize his words in his mind.

"I know you've committed perjury before, but I need your help now," Xu Zhixu said bluntly. "I can give you enough money to allow you and your family to leave the country and start a new life."

The witness looked hesitant, and Xu Zhixu knew he needed more commitment.

"Don't worry about your safety. I will arrange everything. You can also choose to stay in this country, but you need to remain silent and not reveal anything, otherwise, your family will not have an easy time." Xu Zhixu's voice was a little threatening.

Their conversation lasted for a long time, and Xu Zhixu tried his best to conceal his intentions perfectly.

He used various reasons to persuade the witness to go abroad, and used a seemingly reasonable plan to send him abroad. Every word he said was like a carefully woven lie, and every step he took was like a carefully designed trap.

The witness looked at him, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

Xu Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this witness was a key link. If he was exposed, all his plans would be in vain. But now, he could finally rest a little.

When he finished all this, he didn't feel relieved. Instead, he felt a deep sense of exhaustion and emptiness. He knew he had gone too far and there was no turning back.

He stood up and left the place.

He drove back to his home, and looking at the night outside the window, his heart became heavier. He knew that he had embarked on a path of no return.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

At this moment, he was driving, shuttling through the bustling city streets. The car was speeding on the road like a cheetah galloping on the grassland. His driving skills were skillful, and every turn and every lane change was as smooth as dancing.

The sunlight shines through the car window onto his handsome face, outlining a charming outline for his profile.

His short, dark-brown hair was slightly curled, a few strands appearing golden in the sunlight. His deep eyes revealed a gentleness and determination, his long eyelashes trembling gently in the breeze. His gaze was firm and bright, as if he could see through the fog ahead. His well-tailored suit only accentuated his maturity and composure.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence of his deep thought.

He frowned slightly and glanced at the caller ID. It turned out to be Bai Lan calling.

Xu Zhixu smiled slightly, and his eyes became softer.

He smiled softly and picked up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Bai Lan's voice was like a spring breeze that swept through his heart, like the gurgling of a stream: "Brother Xu, I'm so bored at home. I want to buy something but I have no money. Can you give me a million first?"

Xu Zhixu knew that although Bai Lan had always relied on him financially, she wasn't one to spend money recklessly. She must have had her reasons for needing one million this time.

"Okay, I'm outside now. I'll call you later."

His voice was always so gentle, as if it could solve all her problems.

There was a faint smile on his face and his eyes were full of tenderness.

His hands gripped the steering wheel, his fingers long and strong, revealing a sense of calmness and confidence.

After he hung up the phone, he called the bank's customer service number. After explaining his needs, the customer service staff told him that because he was a senior customer, the transfer could be completed quickly.

After the call, his mood gradually calmed down. He looked at the road ahead with a firm and bright look in his eyes. He knew that no matter what difficulties Bai Lan encountered, he would stand by her side and give her the greatest support.

Soon after, he arrived at his destination. After getting off the bus, he took out his phone to check whether the transfer had been successful.

Seeing the prompt showing "Transfer successful", he breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Bai Lan is his only concern. As long as Bai Lan can live a good life, he will be satisfied.

As for the mess at home, let him bear it.

He drove to the hotel and planned to rest there tonight. Rushing home would only waste a lot of time as the distance was quite far.

I had just gotten off the car and was about to walk to the hotel when my cell phone rang.

Xu Zhixu took out his cell phone and saw the caller ID "Bai Lan" on the screen. A hint of tenderness and warmth flashed in his eyes.

He gently pressed the answer button and put the phone close to his ear.

"I received the one million! Thank you, you are so nice to me!" Bai Lan's voice was delicate, like a sweet date, which made Xu Zhixu's heart melt.

He said softly, "As long as you are happy, that's all that matters. You must take good care of yourself abroad, and tell me if you need anything."

His voice was full of doting, like a father's careful advice to his daughter.

Bai Lan responded with a smile that sounded like a spring breeze blowing across a lake, fresh and pleasant. She coquettishly said, "I know. Don't worry, I won't treat myself badly." Her voice was filled with sweetness and dependence, like a heartfelt confession between lovers.

Xu Zhixu listened to the soft voice and couldn't help but smile dotingly. His eyes were filled with tenderness, as if he could see Bai Lan's petite figure, her pretty face, and her bright smile. He thought, this is the white lotus in his heart, beautiful and pure.

"Is everything going well for you abroad?" Xu Zhixu asked with concern.

"Yeah, very good." Bai Lan replied softly, with a hint of joy in her voice, "I will take good care of myself, don't worry."
