Her completely indifferent attitude chilled Xiao Ke behind her, but she couldn't show it, otherwise she would be the first to suffer.
The gang leader looked at Xu Zhaoming's face, trying to discern her true intentions from her expression, but unfortunately, he couldn't see Xu Zhaoming's twisted thoughts. "Since it's this kind of request, what can the Second Miss offer in return?"
"How much? Just name your price and I'll pay." Xu Zhaoming didn't have any money right now, but she was confident she had the means.
The gang leader pondered for a moment, then held up three fingers. "Three boxes of gold. After this job, I'll run away."
"Okay!" Xu Zhaoming was overjoyed when he saw that the other man had agreed, and he agreed without hesitation. "Give me half the payment first, and then I'll start." The gang leader rubbed his fingers together, indicating to Xu Zhaoming that he should pay first.
“I can write you a check first. I can’t go and collect the money now, otherwise it will be difficult to handle if there’s an investigation later. Anyway, it’s fine to exchange it for cash. You can go and buy the gold bars.”
"Okay, did you bring any checks?" The gang leader thought of how she looked when she first came in; she certainly didn't look like she had any checks with her.
Xu Zhaoming felt embarrassed the moment she touched her pocket. She really hadn't brought it with her, and even the clothes she was wearing belonged to someone else. "I didn't bring it. I can just write you an IOU and put my fingerprint on it."
The gang leader saw through her facade and cursed himself inwardly, wondering why he had ever associated with her in the first place, and now he was in a bind.
I used to think she was one of the heirs of the Xu family and must have some benefits, but now it seems she's completely out of her mind. Bribing someone to burn down her own family's business—what kind of idiot would do that?
"Okay, I'll have someone write an IOU, and we'll sign it tomorrow." The gang leader downed his water in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and gestured for Xu Zhaoming to go back upstairs.
Xu Zhaoming was still unwilling to leave. "Write it now, I can sign it right now." Her anxious manner made it seem like she had some deep-seated grudge against the hospital.
"Miss, we need to be careful with the wording when writing an IOU, otherwise it will be difficult to collect the debt later. Besides, even if we sign it today, we'll have to make arrangements for tomorrow. Why don't you go upstairs and rest?"
"I've already made arrangements for the people you brought, so don't worry. Come on, hurry up and take her upstairs." The gang leader looked at the people standing on both sides.
Xu Zhaoming was instantly surrounded by tall people. This was the first time she had felt oppressed since arriving here. "Okay, I'll go up," she said, her voice becoming weak.
Once back in her room, Xiao Ke finally found a chance to ask, "Second Miss, three chests of gold! Where did you get the money? And you even need to sign an IOU! Second Miss, perhaps we should..."
Before Xiao Ke could finish speaking, she saw Xu Zhaoming staring at her with a sinister look. In this situation, she quickly changed her words, "We need to be fully prepared so they don't find any fault with us."
"Of course I know. So what if I signed it? My dad's still around, he'll help me." Xu Zhaoming looked away, his nonchalant tone making Xiao Ke's fists clench.
"Second Miss, after the signing is completed tomorrow, we must keep an eye on them. They can't just take the money and not do anything. We need to be watching from a distance when it's being implemented."
Xiao Ke stepped forward to massage her shoulders, showering her with flattery and advice.
