PNB Chapter 152: Punishment
Chapter 152: Punishment
“Old Zhu, Liu Bo’s wife and children have moved into the police’s safe house. You can’t threaten him; he’s already given you away.”
"I do not know what you're talking about."
"You still don't understand, right? That's understandable. Who is Liu Bo? I bet you don't even know him. So let me tell you what you do know. I have some good news to tell you, and I'm sure you'll be very happy when you find out."
Jiang Qianhui spoke calmly and composedly, remaining remarkably calm in the face of Lao Zhu's sophistry.
Old Zhu looked at Jiang Qianhui. What was the good news that Jiang Qianhui had mentioned?
"The mine has already been opened, guess what they found?"
Upon hearing that the mine had already been opened, Old Zhu's expression changed instantly.
"How could the mine have been opened? How come I didn't know about it?"
Old Zhu didn't believe the mine had been opened, since he hadn't heard any noise from it.
"To give you a surprise, I specifically asked Elder Qin not to tell you, and I even started mining ahead of time. And indeed, there was a surprise."
Old Zhu nearly lost his footing upon hearing this. This woman, so young, spoke as if she were choking him.
Jiang Qianhui smiled slightly at Lao Zhu, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"A top-grade jadeite mine has been discovered. As someone who has followed Elder Qin for many years, you should be very happy to know that Elder Qin's mine has yielded a priceless jadeite mine. Isn't that good news?"
At this moment, Old Zhu was completely devastated. The mine had already been mined, which meant that his previous lies had been exposed. He looked at Old Qin, who didn't speak, but the look in Old Zhu's eyes was one of utter hatred, as if he wanted to kill him.
"No, no, I've already inspected that mine; it's a waste mine. How could it possibly yield top-quality jadeite?"
"Old Zhu, so what you're saying is that you're getting old, and your skills and eyesight aren't what they used to be, so you made a mistake and didn't discover the priceless jadeite mine."
Old Zhu was struggling to find a way to argue his point, so he took the opportunity to back down.
“Miss Jiang, I never expected that after decades in this business, I would still make a mistake. I have truly failed to live up to Mr. Qin’s trust in me. If this mine really yields jadeite, I will have no face to stay by Mr. Qin’s side in the future.”
"Look, these stones were taken from your safe. These stones are raw stones from the mine. The raw stones have already been cut, and they are very fine black jadeite. But you didn't tell Old Qin that there was black jadeite in this vein."
When Jiang Qianhui threw those jadeite rough stones in front of him, Old Zhu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was completely dead.
Old Qin said angrily, "I trusted you so much, and you actually did such a thing."
"Mr. Qin, that's not mine, I really didn't know..."
Old Zhu was still frantically explaining, but he had lost his earlier arrogance.
"Do you even know where you went wrong? You're so stingy. You wanted Liu Bo to kill me, but you only offered such a small amount of money, which is far from enough for Liu Bo's child's surgery. If you had offered enough money, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now."
If Lao Zhu had paid enough money, Liu Bo wouldn't have kidnapped Zhan Yanxun along with her for the remaining medical expenses when the car accident happened; he might have just stabbed her directly.
Old Zhu was completely devastated by what Jiang Qianhui said. How did she know all this? This whole thing had only just happened; even if they wanted to investigate, it would take some time. Not only did she know the whole truth, but she did it so quickly.
Who is she?
"Who exactly are you? How do you know all this?"
Old Zhu was devastated. He knew there was no escaping it. He just wanted to know how Jiang Qianhui knew.
"That's more like it. I only like talking to smart people. Pretending to be stupid is pointless."
Jiang Qianhui remained calm and composed, but the moment she raised her eyebrows, it sent chills down one's spine.
“I can read fortunes, and you’re too stingy. I can afford to pay the price; I can buy my life, and I can buy yours.”
At this point, the police officer said, "Liu Bo has already given a statement saying that you instructed him to do it. You can't shirk your guilt."
Old Zhu was devastated and suddenly regretted provoking her.
Old Qin said angrily, "I have treated you well over the years, but I never expected that I would raise a traitor for myself."
"Traitor? Old Qin, don't put it so harshly. Everyone wants to climb the ladder. No matter how much money you give me, I'm still just a lowly worker in other people's eyes. Unlike you, with assets of over 10 billion, you're supported by everyone wherever you go. I also want to be like you, to gain respect and to be able to command the wind and rain. I'm just one step away from achieving that. If it weren't for this bitch interfering with me, that mine would already be mine."
Old Zhu was emotional and shouted himself hoarse.
He couldn't understand how he had lost to a mere, inexperienced girl.
"What isn't yours, you can't have it no matter what you do. Old Qin gave you a million-dollar annual salary, and you think a million-dollar employee is low-class? You had to ruin yourself and end up in jail. You should spend the rest of your life reflecting on your actions in prison."
Old Zhu was completely devastated. He never expected that the wealth that was about to be his would become a death sentence.
He actually lost to a girl!
"Jiang Qianhui, you ruined my plans, you'll get your comeuppance!"
Old Master Qin stepped forward and slapped her hard across the face. He said coldly, "She is my adopted daughter, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, and the heir of the Qin family! If you dare to hurt her, your whole family will be expelled from Country A and you will not be allowed to come back without my permission."
Old Zhu was shocked. Old Qin had actually taken Jiang Qianhui as his goddaughter and made her the heir of the Qin family!
Countless people racked their brains to become Qin Lao's adopted sons and daughters, flattering him for many years, but Qin Lao remained unmoved, yet he chose Jiang Qianhui as his adopted daughter!
This woman is no ordinary person!
When Old Zhu realized that Qin had banished his family for her sake, he panicked and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Young Miss, spare my life!"
After meeting Lao Zhu, Jiang Qianhui still wanted to meet the kidnapper Liu Bo.
Everyone assumed she was going to teach Liu Bo a lesson, after all, Liu Bo had kidnapped her and almost killed her.
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Qianhui saw Liu Bo, she did not blame him. Instead, she said with a firm look in her eyes, "I will take care of your child's medical expenses. You have to believe that he will live."
Upon hearing Jiang Qianhui's words, Liu Bo's lifeless eyes finally lit up with hope.
"You mean it? You really want to save my child?"
"I'm a man of my word, but I don't like it when people question me. If someone does question me, I'll change my mind."
Jiang Qianhui spoke in a very soft voice, yet it was terrifying!
