"Five million?!"
Cai Ya was shocked by Lan Feng's loud words.
She demanded anxiously, "You're really asking for too much, aren't you? Where can I get five million for you? Besides, what makes you think this letter is worth five million?"
She stood up excitedly and said unhappily, "Don't ask for too much. I don't have that much."
"Really?" Lan Feng smiled calmly, her tone neither hurried nor slow. "You dared to do this back then, it must have been for the greater benefit! Besides, you are the financial director of Huake Real Estate. Huake Real Estate is such a large industry, and you can't come up with five million?"
Cai Ya gritted her teeth and would never slap herself in the face in front of Lan Feng.
She said angrily, "You want me to embezzle Huake's money? This is illegal."
Lan Feng shrugged nonchalantly. "Whatever you say. I'm just asking for money, and I won't bargain. If Mr. Cai won't give it to me, then forget it. I don't mind handing the letter directly to Madam Tang. Madam Tang is very understanding, and knowing that she has been deceived for many years, she will definitely be happy to pay the money."
As she spoke, Lan Feng picked up the letter and pretended to put it away, but Cai Ya stopped her.
"Wait a minute!" Cai Ya panicked and said anxiously, "I promise you."
Cai Ya sat back in her chair, her expression somewhat serious. "I can give you the money, but I don't have that much cash on hand right now. Please give me a few more days, and I'll find a way to get it together."
Lan Feng hesitated for a moment and nodded reluctantly.
Cai Ya then extended her hand to Lan Feng: "Give me the letter."
Lan Feng sneered: "Ms. Cai, do you think I'm a fool? If I give you the letter at this time, can I still get the money?"
"You can have the letter. Once you have the money ready, we can exchange the money and the letter."
Lan Feng is smart, but Cai Ya is not stupid either.
She said cautiously, "You have to let me read the contents of the letter first. I don't want to waste all my time just for a piece of blank paper."
Lan Feng hesitated for a moment, then took out the letter and unfolded it. "I'll take it. Take a look."
Cai Ya eagerly read the contents of the letter, and her face became increasingly ugly.
Seeing Cai Ya like this, Qiu Qiu proudly took credit for it to me: "Cai Ya definitely won't notice anything wrong! I specially had this letter paper aged by an expert. The average person wouldn't be able to tell!"
It was thanks to Qiu Qiu's reminder about the aging process that I would have overlooked it otherwise.
I praised her generously: "Yes, thanks to your cleverness."
"Must-do." Qiu Qiu suddenly started praising me, raising an eyebrow at me and jokingly saying, "You're not bad either! You actually got Lan Fengshi to ask for five million directly! How could Cai Ya possibly come up with that much? Even if she sold her real estate, it would take a month or two. She can't come up with the money in a few days, so she'll have to go to Tang Tianxiang."
I had a smile on my lips, but said nothing.
Only if Cai Ya goes to find Tang Tianxiang can she find out what role Tang Tianxiang played in the incident where I was taken away that year.
The letter in Lan Feng's hand was forged by us. Cheng Xi didn't leave any letters before his death, and Lan's parents have never known my true background.
As for the content of the letter, it was written in Cheng Xi's voice after Lu Zhiyuan and I conducted an investigation in Qinglin Town, creating the illusion that Cheng Xi was confessing and revealing the truth to Lan's parents.
Cai Ya and Cheng Xi didn't have much interaction, and Cheng Xi died of cancer that year.
Cai Ya came to see Lan Feng today when her psychological defenses collapsed again. After seeing this letter, it was impossible for her to doubt it at all.
