Poverty is the most primitive driving force of human beings, and the same is true for the wife of the van driver who hit Xie Qian.
A woman who has lived a hard life for too long suddenly gets an ATM that can withdraw cash endlessly. It is difficult for her to control her desire to consume.
New skirt, new leather shoes, new appliances.
These don't cost much.
But the clothes were replaced with new ones, and the appliances in the house were replaced with new ones, which was so incompatible with the old house I lived in!
Looking at herself in the mirror, dressed in bright clothes, the wife suddenly had an idea: she should get a new house.
Housing prices in Shanghai are getting more and more expensive. Even if her husband were still alive, a family like theirs might not be able to afford a house in Shanghai. But her husband died, leaving the mother and son with the most valuable "inheritance"!
She is not too greedy and a three-bedroom apartment of about 100 square meters is enough.
One room for her, another for her son, and yet another for his future children. Three generations would live in one house, and the family would become lively again—no, one grandchild was too few; she needed at least two, a grandson and a granddaughter, to complete the Chinese character for "good."
Then we need four rooms.
If you want to buy a four-bedroom apartment with an elevator in Shanghai, it will cost more than one million yuan if the location is poor. If the location is good, the price will be too high.
In the past, my wife never dared to think that she would be able to live in an apartment with an elevator in her life, but now she dares to think about it.
No matter how expensive a house is, can it be worth more than her husband’s life?
If the other party is reluctant to give up a house, then go to jail. That car accident resulted in one death and one injury!
The "wish" of the truck driver's wife soon reached the ears of Sara Zhuo's bodyguard.
The other party said this was the last request for help.
As long as she gets a four-bedroom house, she will never cause trouble again and will destroy all the evidence.
"Do you believe it?"
Sara Zhuo asked the bodyguard, who shook his head: "Desires are endless. Now that we have a big four-bedroom house, the next step is to buy a car."
yes!
A large, four-bedroom house in a good neighborhood. How could one live in a neighborhood like that without a car? Ordinary brands wouldn't even be enough; it would have to cost at least several hundred thousand. With a house and a car, daily expenses had to be covered. Living in a large house and driving a nice car meant spending at least ten thousand a month... Sara Zhuo murmured, "So you see, it's not that I'm not giving her a way out, it's not that I'm bullying her, it's that she's bullying me and denying me a way out!"
The bodyguard looked ashamed.
It was all his fault for not being careful enough that the other party came to blackmail him.
Others can call the police if they encounter extortion, but Ms. Zhuo cannot call the police.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Before leaving, the bodyguard couldn't help but look up at Sara Zhuo.
Having worked for Sara Zhuo for so long, he never dared to look her in the eye.
The bodyguard deliberately delayed for two days before meeting with the truck driver's wife, reminding her to bring all the evidence with her, as he wanted to see her destroy the evidence in front of him.
"You'd better not be so clever as to copy the evidence and keep it separate, and don't even think about giving a copy to your son for safekeeping. Can a student like him take on such a big responsibility? And this is the last time!"
The bodyguard's tone was stern, and the truck driver's wife was a little scared.
She was not a significant person to begin with. When her husband was alive, she relied on him to support the family and had never experienced anything major.
Maybe this time I asked for too much, which is why the other party was so angry.
Thinking of the big four-bedroom house, she mustered up her courage again: "I'm going to keep my word. I won't look for you again. Don't drag my son into this!"
The truck driver's wife did not tell her son about this.
Just like the other party said, the son is too young to keep the secret.
She couldn't tell her natal family or her husband's family either. If others knew, they would either make a fuss or fight with her for the money.
Once the secret is revealed, it will be impossible to use it to blackmail the other party for money.
After buying a large four-bedroom house, she will tell her son that she won the lottery jackpot.
Yes, that's the reason. All the unusual expenses at home can be explained with this reason. It's normal to buy a house after winning the lottery!
The two parties agreed on a meeting place.
An abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
The bodyguard went to check the place out and found that there was usually no one in the warehouse and there were no surveillance cameras nearby.
After dark, the bodyguard came out carrying a black box.
The pickup driver's wife wanted cash.
The bodyguard arrived earlier than the agreed time. He checked his surroundings again and saw that the footprints he had deliberately left last time were still there. Apart from his own footprints, there were no other traces in the dusty warehouse, indicating that no one else had been there.
After checking that everything was correct, the bodyguard waited quietly in the warehouse.
Time passes by every second.
About half an hour later, there was movement outside the warehouse.
"Is there anyone there?"
A woman asked in a trembling voice.
The woman was very scared to be in such a remote place late at night.
She walked into the warehouse with a flashlight, and suddenly a shadow flashed past her, scaring the woman so much that she wanted to scream.
A hand covered the woman's mouth.
"Don't shout, if you alarm others, the deal will be canceled!"
The woman immediately shut her mouth.
It's easy to scare someone to death by scaring them, and the woman's heart almost jumped out of her throat.
The hand let go of her.
The woman flashed her flashlight, confirmed the other person's identity, and couldn't help complaining: "Why did you choose such a damn place!"
The bodyguard kicked the large box at his feet and said, "With so much money, we need to choose a safe place."
