The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Tong in bewilderment.
“Actually, it’s not easy for you to get to where you are today. You even dared to commit murder and arson. I have to say that you really have the guts to do it. Therefore, you should cherish the wealth and social status that you have today more, don’t you think so?”
“Then, give me a number,” the middle-aged man said. Things that could be solved with money were not a problem. Although he knew that Jiang Tong would ask for a lot of money, he couldn’t do anything about it. He didn’t accurately respond to the things that Jiang Tong said because he knew that Jiang Tong was on the phone with someone. If he said it, he would be admitting to his wrongdoings and it would become evidence. Therefore, he understood that he couldn’t say it. He still had this kind of wisdom.
“How much do you think I want?” Jiang Tong asked the middle-aged man with a faint smile.
“100 million,” The middle-aged man replied. He continued, “This is the limit that I can accept.” Actually, this was not the limit that he could accept. He had to spend money to buy his life. Even if it was 200 million to 300 million, under the circumstances where he could not do anything to Jiang Tong, he had to accept it. However, he obviously could not say that was the true limit that he could really accept.
“100 million…” Jiang Tong muttered and smiled.
“Do you think it’s not enough?” The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, “I am rich, but my net worth is not as much as you think. 100 million is enough for you to eat, drink, and play for two lifetimes. How much more do you want?”
Jiang Tong looked at the middle-aged man and was silent for a few seconds. Then, he said, “I wonder how Qian Ping who was buried in the barren mountain is doing. Has he already rested in peace?”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. Jiang Tong knew that he had killed Qian Ping, and she also knew that he was buried in the barren mountains!
“I advise you not to dig up the body again. More than ten years have passed, and the traces that were there before are now gone. If you go now, there will be new traces.” Jiang Tong took a sip of tea slowly. After putting down the teacup, she said, “The times have improved, technology has improved, and the police’s ability to solve cases is much better than before. It is not difficult to solve cases that were previously unsolved, don’t you think so?”
The middle-aged man listened, and his face was dark, but there was a trace of cold sweat on his temples. He said again, “150 million.”
“I heard that your business is not doing well recently, so you can only falsify accounts to cover the deficit. Do you know the consequences of your actions as the CEO of a listed company? Is that young lover of yours who helped you falsify the accounts really reliable?” Jiang Tong said to the middle-aged man with a smile.
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Tong in silence for more than ten seconds. His breathing became heavier and faster, and fear enveloped him. Every time Jiang Tong said something, the panic in his heart increased. At this moment, he already felt fear. Jiang Tong seemed to know everything. Not only did she know about the big incident back then, she even knew about his other dirty matters.
“Oh right, I also heard…” Jiang Tong wanted to say something again.
“Enough.” The middle-aged man interrupted Jiang Tong’s words, he looked straight at Jiang Tong. “200 million, No, 300 million! I can’t take out so much money at once, but I will definitely give it to you. I will give it to you in batches. If you ask me for more, I don’t have any more money. I only have this much money in my hands.”
“Will you really give me money?” Jiang Tong maintained her smile and looked at the middle-aged man. “You’re probably thinking about how to deal with me swiftly now, right?”
“I don’t dare. You are worrying too much. I just want to spend money to get rid of the disaster,” the middle-aged man said immediately.
“Really?” Jiang Tong’s tone was hard to tell whether she believed his words or not. As she spoke, she touched the phone screen and hung up the call.
“Name your price. As long as you tell me where Bai Guanjie is, I will give all my money to you.” Seeing that Jiang Tong hung up the phone, the middle-aged man immediately lowered his voice and tried to entice Jiang Tong again.
“There’s no rush. Let’s have a cup of tea first.” Jiang Tong smiled and picked up the teacup again. In the next minute, Jiang Tong and the middle-aged man were really drinking tea. The middle-aged man’s mind was a mess. He had a lot of thoughts running through his head so he drank the tea without savoring the taste. However, Jiang Tong said she wasn’t in a hurry, so he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Creak.”
The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Hanging up the phone was a secret signal. Jiang Tong had told Xie Wenkai that after she hung up the phone, Xie Wenkai and Zhou Jingyun could come over directly. When Xie Wenkai and Zhou Jingyun entered the room and saw the middle-aged man sitting opposite Jiang Tong, they were stunned.
“Director Xie?” The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and looked at Xie Wenkai.
