"puff!"
Liu Qingyao was so frightened that she froze.
Huang Yaoji actually got serious and really wanted to kill her.
"Mr. Huang, please...speak calmly, don't...don't act impulsively!"
Liu Qingyao stammered, "This...is Jiangnan. Even if you kill me, you...can't escape!"
Don't scare me!
Huang Yaoji growled, "If you don't give me a satisfactory result today, I'll fight you to the death. After I kill you, I'll run back to Jinjiang. That's my territory. With my connections, I can settle things without any problem."
After saying that, he tightened his wrist slightly: "Are you going to pay compensation or not?"
"Well……"
Liu Qingyao was so frightened that her legs went weak. Huang Yaoji wouldn't give up until he got compensation.
She felt the dagger pressed against her throat was icy cold, and there was a possibility that it could cut her throat at any moment.
Her scalp tingled, and she quickly shouted.
"Wait, I... I'm thinking of something..."
She tried to stall for time, her mind racing.
What can I do to save my life?
However, the Lanxing Building project that he himself acquired required a 3 billion yuan advance payment, all of which was provided by the Hong Group.
Although the Hong Group is financially strong, it also needs a lot of working capital, and it will be very difficult to raise another 5 billion yuan.
Moreover, even if he could be transferred out, Hong Guoliang wouldn't agree.
If this path is blocked, what should we do?
When people are desperate, they will think of every possible method and every person who can help.
Suddenly, she thought of her partner Lin Bing, the four major families, and even the Director of the Inspectorate, Long Aotian.
In that instant, she felt as if she had grasped a lifeline.
Lin Bing, like herself, was the mastermind behind bribing Jiang Lin and switching the raw stones at the Appraisal Hall. She played a crucial role in the whole affair and was inextricably linked to it.
Now that she's in trouble, she has to help.
And then there's Long Aotian. If we can get his help and things can turn around, we might even turn misfortune into blessing and take over the entire Hong Group in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, he looked down at the dagger against his neck and said in a trembling voice.
"Mr. Huang, move the dagger away, and I'll give you an answer!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoji lowered his right hand, which was holding the dagger.
He said menacingly, "Speak!"
After regaining her composure, Liu Qingyao touched her neck and looked at Huang Yaoji, saying...
"Mr. Huang, for some reason this batch of raw stones has become waste stones. It is indeed my fault, and I admit it."
“I also want to compensate you and Mr. Wu according to industry practice.”
“However, five billion is no small sum, and the Hong Group will not allow me to use such a large amount of funds.”
"I don't have that huge sum of money right now, killing me won't help."
"How about this? Can you give me three days?"
"I will definitely raise five billion to compensate you in just three days."
"To show my sincerity, I will first return the more than one billion yuan I received from you, and I guarantee that the compensation will be given to you in three days!"
After hearing her words, Huang Yaoji fell silent, analyzing every word she said in his mind.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Wu Yifan wondered what he was thinking.
He stretched his neck and whispered in Huang Yaoji's ear, "Mr. Huang, I think this matter is worth considering. She really can't come up with a huge sum of money right now. If we kill her, we'll have nothing left."
"She doesn't seem to be lying, so I might as well agree. Maybe I can really get the money in three days!"
Huang Yaoji glanced at him but didn't say anything.
He certainly understood the reasoning Wu Yifan was making.
His silence indicated that he was considering whether or not to agree.
Since Wu Yifan has said so, what else is there for me to consider?
Then, two sharp beams of light shot into Liu Qingyao's face, and he nodded.
"Okay, I'll trust you one more time."
"If you break your promise again in three days, I will kill you!"
Seeing that Huang Yaoji had agreed, Liu Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly, as if she had been granted a pardon.
"Don't worry, I really did come up with a solution before making this promise to you."
"I guarantee you won't be disappointed in three days. The 5 billion compensation will be given to you in full!"
As he spoke, he unzipped the woman's handbag, took out a check, and handed it to Huang Yaoji.
"Here's the check for over a billion dollars you gave me. I'm returning it to you now!"
Huang Yaoji took the check and flicked his fingers, indicating that Liu Qingyao seemed genuinely sincere.
He immediately replied, "Okay, see you in three days!"
After saying that, he and Wu Yifan, along with seven or eight bodyguards, got into the car and drove away.
"My God!"
"That really scared me to death."
Liu Qingyao stumbled, but after regaining her balance, she kept patting her chest.
"Where did that bitch Jiang Lin go? She actually turned off her phone!"
As soon as she calmed down, she immediately started cursing Jiang Lin.
He then took out his phone and called Lin Bing.
"Miss Lin, where are you? I need to see you right away!"
"Let's go to the riverside road in Binjiang Park!"
Twenty minutes later.
Along the riverside road in Binjiang Park, Lin Bing saw Liu Qingyao and immediately spoke.
"You came to me because of the problem with the rough stone, right?"
"Yes!"
"You guessed that!"
Liu Qingyao patted her on the shoulder: "You're amazing!"
Don't flatter me.
Lin Bing said calmly, "You and I are in the same boat. How could I not know if there's a problem with the raw stone?"
As he spoke, a spark ignited in his eyes: "Not only did the plan fail, but I was also played around with by Optimus Prime for several days and almost lost my life. I'm so angry!"
"I can't blame myself for this; I can only be angry at that bastard Ye Tianyu for being so cunning!"
Liu Qingyao said sullenly, "I want to figure out which part of our plan went wrong, but when I call Jiang Lin, that bitch's phone is off. I don't know where she's gone!"
"Um?"
"Don't you know Jiang Lin ran away?"
Lin Bing curled her lip: "An hour ago, I went to look for her, only to find out that she was no longer in the tasting hall. Upon inquiring, I learned that she had left, but not long ago."
"I suspect that the problem with the raw stone might be related to her!"
"They ran away?"
Liu Qingyao gritted her teeth: "No wonder the phone was off, so they ran away!"
"So, without a doubt, the problem with the raw stone must be related to her. Otherwise, why would she run away without even telling you or me?"
"That bitch dared to betray me. Find her and I'll make her suffer a terrible death."
She almost lost her life at Huang Yaoji's hands because the raw stone she stole was fake.
Therefore, they directed their anger at Jiang Lin.
In reality, the problem with the raw stone had little to do with Jiang Lin.
It was all because Ye Tianyu saw through their conspiracy and set a trap.
"Hey, she's already run away. Let's find her later!"
Lin Bing frowned and said, "The raw stone has turned into a useless rock. You must be in a lot of trouble. Tell me how you want to solve it!"
One sentence struck a chord with Liu Qingyao.
She immediately said, "That's exactly why I came to you!"
Then, he recounted how Huang Yaoji discovered the rough stone was worthless and almost died at his hands...
