Chapter 701: Pit

The child hit Qiao Xusheng's vital point.

He still has an unborn son, a boy he has been waiting for half his life.

What if this Li Tai really goes to the police and says something, and the case is overturned in the retrial, and he gets into trouble, what will happen to his son? What about the family business he has worked hard for all his life?

And prison...

He suddenly remembered that he was detained for reselling materials when he was young. He stayed in there for more than ten days. Those nightmare days rushed out of his mind, and he couldn't help shuddering.

Qiao Xusheng's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How much does he want?"

Bai Huizhu said in a deep voice, "Five million."

"Five million?" Qiao Xusheng's voice was raised several degrees, "What disease does he have that requires so much?"

Five million for medical treatment, is it necessary to see that disease?

Qiao Xusheng's face was gloomy. He had not received the 50 million he had extorted from Gu Jingyan before.

If there was no legitimate source, he would have no way to transfer the huge overseas remittance of 50 million to a domestic account.

He spent money to find a foreign company, hoping to launder the money through some informal means and remit it to a domestic account.

He thought it was an easy thing, but after two or three months, the money has not been laundered for him.

He did not have much liquidity on hand. Other things like company shares, real estate and car properties could not be converted into money all at once, and he did not think he had reached the point where he needed to sell real estate, so five million in cash was not a small amount for him.

Qiao Xusheng did not want to pay this money, even if he had it.

Bai Huizhu whispered, "This is the price I negotiated with him, Brother Sheng, five million to buy our family's safety, this deal is very cost-effective, if he is really irritated, the consequences will be unimaginable, just think of it as spending money to avoid disaster."

Qiao Xusheng's face was tense, "The evidence of the accident that year had been dealt with long ago. Without evidence, can the police go for a retrial just because he opened his mouth?"

This idiot, it's not easy to fool him when he encounters money.

"The police won't believe him just by his words, but if we don't give him the money, what will he do when he goes to Qiao Ruoxing? If he tells Qiao Ruoxing about these things, Qiao Ruoxing will definitely bite us like a mad dog. She married Gu Jingyan because you promised to help her keep He Yurou alive. She has feelings for He Yurou. Once she knows that the car accident was not a simple accident, will she let us go?"

When Qiao Ruoxing was mentioned, Qiao Xusheng's face really changed. He said in a deep voice, "It has been so many years since the incident. The vehicle that caused the accident has been scrapped and there is no evidence. Even if she knows, what can she do?"

Bai Huizhu was very anxious. If Qiao Xusheng didn't give the money, she would have to bear it herself. This was like tearing her flesh alive.

She was anxious and gritted her teeth and said, "Why was the case so easily resolved at the beginning? Do you really think we did it perfectly? If it weren't for that car--"

The recording suddenly stopped, and there was a sizzling sound of electricity afterwards.

Qiao Ruoxing frowned and called Cui Yanxi in a hurry.

"Did you not send me the complete audio? I can't hear the rest."

Cui Yanxi said, "It's not that I didn't send it. The signal was interfered with later, and the monitoring equipment failed. The rest was not recorded."

Qiao Ruoxing's face suddenly became ugly.

It's too bad that the key part was not recorded.

What exactly did Bai Huizhu want to say later? What caused the case to be settled so easily?

"Did Qiao Xusheng transfer the money in the end?"

Cui Yanxi shook her head, "It should be not yet. He has been frowning since he came back. He is not willing to pay the money. I heard him talking to Qiao Siyao on the phone, and it seems that he is talking about shares again."

Shares?

Qiao Ruoxing thought about it. Could it be that Qiao Xusheng wanted to use shares to exchange money from Qiao Siyao?

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ruoxing frowned and whispered, "Can this recording be used to incriminate them?"

After speaking for a long time, no one beside him spoke. Qiao Ruoxing turned her head and saw Gu Jingyan with his eyes downcast as if in a daze.

She shook his arm, "I'm talking to you, what are you doing?"

Gu Jingyan came back to his senses and whispered, "What did you just say?"

"Why are you distracted so early in the morning," Qiao Ruoxing complained and repeated what she had just said.

Gu Jingyan listened and said, "This kind of wiretap recording should not be used as direct evidence. You can consult Qian Yan later."

Qiao Ruoxing was a little disappointed when she heard that it could not be used as evidence.

Gu Jingyan comforted her, "Although it cannot be used as direct evidence to accuse them, this recording at least proves that your guess is correct. Aunt He's car accident was not an accident, but a deliberate murder. What we have to do now is to collect evidence."

Qiao Ruoxing also knew that this was not a matter of urgency, and soon calmed down.

"Should we look for Li Tai?"

Gu Jingyan tapped his fingers lightly on the leather seat, pondered for a moment, and whispered, "Wait a little longer."

————

Qiao Xusheng really didn't want to pay the five million.

He didn't get a penny of Gu Jingyan's fifty million, and if he paid another five million, how could he support his son?

After thinking about it, he came up with a solution, which was to sell part of the company's shares to Xiao Xu through Qiao Siyao.

Qiao Siyao and Xiao Xu had a good relationship. Although they didn't talk for a long time, the Xiao family was very satisfied with the Qiao family and Qiao Siyao.

Qiao Siyao's promotional soft articles and means of incubating internet celebrities have contributed a lot to Xiao Xu's career. Although the Qiao family is not as good as those famous families, the company has been operating well in recent years because of the support of the Gu family.

Especially Qiao Xusheng has only one son and one daughter. The son is still so young. If he really gets married in the future, Qiao Sirui is still young and Qiao Xusheng is old. The company may still be handed over to Qiao Siyao.

A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. Qiao Siyao's things will naturally be Xiao's things in the future.

A while ago, Bai Huizhu's raising a gigolo was exposed. The Xiao family learned from Qiao Siyao that Qiao Sirui was not Qiao Xusheng's biological son, which made the Xiao family very happy.

How can they not be happy? Qiao Siyao has become the only bloodline of the Qiao family. Then, after Qiao Xusheng's death, won't the Qiao family also be their Xiao family's things?

So this matter did not cause any estrangement between the two. The Xiao Xu family even treated Qiao Siyao better.

The two of them are now living together, and every day they are like newlyweds, inseparable.

When Qiao Xusheng called, Qiao Siyao was fooling around with Xiao Xu.

She actually looked down on Xiao Xu's appearance, but although Xiao Xu looked ugly, he was sweet and good at making girls happy. Although she was under contract with the company, Xiao Xu would discuss all matters of the company with her, and when introducing her to everyone in the company, he would ask everyone to call her the boss's wife.
