Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Don’t Leave After School (27)
 

Father Jih was not Jih Bo; he had brains.

Why did the other party post the matter online instead of going to the police?

The other side knew that even if they went to the police, it wouldn’t amount to much in the end.

The Jih Family had the ability to smooth things over and settle matters with the victim’s family.

But the internet was different.

Letting the issue ferment, the group’s stockholders and his opponents would all come to watch the joke.

Father Jih wanted to suppress the trending topic, but in the end, he was told it couldn’t be done.

They could suppress, but the other party could buy.

Not only that, but there were also a large number of internet trolls involved; the other side intended to blow this up.

Jih Bo was arrogant, relying on the Jih Family.

At this time, however, he had no ideas of his own and depended entirely on Father Jih.

Father Jih then pressed Jih Bo, insisting he think through every detail meticulously, not missing a single one.

They must first identify the mastermind behind the scenes.

–

“Miss Xu Chuzheng.”

Teacher Zhou interrupted the history teacher who was lecturing and, with a stern face, signaled Chuzheng to come out.

Jih Cheng was sleeping on his desk; Chuzheng passed by him as she left, trying not to wake him.

“Miss Xu Chuzheng, someone wants to meet you.” Teacher Zhou took her downstairs and pointed to a car parked not far away, “Go ahead.”

Chuzheng guessed it must be someone from the Jih Family.

Having evidence or suspecting her was not contradictory.

Indeed, in the car was someone from the Jih Family, and it was Father Jih himself who had come.

After Chuzheng got into the car, she looked at Father Jih with an expressionless face.

Although he was past the age of forty, Father Jih still had handsome features complemented by his clothing, maintaining an imposing appearance.

His face was somewhat serious, with the compelling air of a superior.

To Chuzheng, this aura had no effect whatsoever.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She calmly examined Father Jih as if he were an ordinary person, an ordinary object…

At the same time, Father Jih was also observing Chuzheng.

Father Jih, being accustomed to all sorts of people in the business world,

saw that at her age, they were either arrogantly ignorant or cowering, intimidated by their elders.

But the girl in front of him, from the moment she got into the car, was cold and aloof, composed, her every move exuding an air of nobility.

She sat with more presence than he had.

It was as if in her eyes, he amounted to nothing.

“Miss Xu?”

Father Jih was the first to break the silence.

“I took the liberty of asking Miss Xu out because there’s something I would like to discuss.”

“Knowing it’s presumptuous and still inviting me,” Chuzheng spoke indifferently, “proves that you don’t find yourself all that presumptuous.”

“…” As the head of Jih’s, when had he ever been talked back to like this?

Father Jih never underestimated this girl from the beginning.

If the whole affair was orchestrated by her, he wasn’t facing a mere girl but an opponent on equal footing.

Before coming, he had looked into the girl’s background.

With such a background, how could she be the mastermind behind everything?

Father Jih felt there were others behind her.

But even so, she should not be underestimated.

Her behavior now only confirmed his initial thoughts.

This girl was not ordinary…

“Miss Xu has personality.” Father Jih forced a smile, his expression softening, “I too was once full of youthful vigor. I can understand, but Miss Xu still has to consider the consequences, right?”

Without specifying, Chuzheng pretended to know nothing.

“What consequences should I consider?”

“Miss Xu, surely I don’t need to spell it out?”

“How would I know if you don’t say it?” Chuzheng’s little face was serious.

Father Jih’s eyes flickered with a sharp light, and after a moment, he chuckled, “Miss Xu, if you have any demands, please mention them sooner rather than later. As long as I can fulfill them, we can negotiate.”

“What do you want with me?” Chuzheng was not taking the bait, “Do I know you?”

“…”

Aren’t you asking this question a little too late?

“Miss Xu’s father is a truck driver, and her mother doesn’t have a formal job, with an average income…”

“So what? You want to arrange jobs for them?” This son of a bitch even checked my background, why didn’t the bastard assign me the identity of some princess lost among the common folk?”

“…”

Can you not interrupt me!?

Father Jih restrained his anger, keeping a straight face, “Miss Xu, there is no need for you to beat around the bush with me. Think about your parents, your little brother, Miss Xu, I am very sincere.”

“So sincerity means you’re using them to threaten me?” Even if you killed them, I wouldn’t be afraid!

Chuzheng didn’t wait for Father Jih to speak, adding another line.

“Take them then.” It’s not easy coming all this way, consider it a return gift.

I’m so nice.

“…”

Father Jih really started to get a bit angry, “You know why I am here, what do you want?”

To do away with you!

Can I say that?

[No way!] Shut up, will you!

Oh.

You’re quite fierce, Bastard.

[…No, Miss, I’m not, I didn’t, I’m very well-behaved.] The King’s Account praised itself.

Falling apart inside.

Who’s the fierce one, really?

Miss, you’re the fierce one.

The girl next door is so much better.

Gentle and considerate, kind and generous, with an Orchid Heart, graceful and reserved, calm and dignified, beautiful inside and out…

What a wonderful girl!

Wahhh, I want a different girl!!

Chuzheng had no time to play around with the King’s Account, and simply blocked it.

“I don’t know, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to class.”

I still need to study, this damn thing is disturbing my studies, and I can’t even do away with it, what a waste of time.

“Miss Xu, the thing on the internet, you did it, right?” Father Jih felt that without making it clear, the girl opposite wouldn’t confess.

This level of composure is really something.

Chuzheng sat back down, her icy gaze fixed on Father Jih.

Her red lips parted slightly, a chilling voice arose, “Do you have evidence?”

Jih Bo carefully recalled the events of that day; his phone had been taken away, and everything related to Jih Cheng had been deleted from it.

He had searched through his phone entirely, eventually reaching his cloud backup.

There, he found that video.

Jih Bo did not usually pay attention to these things; as long as they were fun at the moment, he wouldn’t bother watching them again, let alone save them deliberately.

That phone broke right away, and after getting a new one, he hadn’t thought that the video would be backed up to the cloud.

Jih Bo also admitted to himself that he had hired people to teach Chuzheng a lesson.

After the video leaked, he couldn’t contact those people.

So, during that period, the most likely suspect was Chuzheng.

That’s why Father Jih had come knocking.

“Miss Xu, my son is young and has offended in many ways. As a father, I apologize to you, and I hope Miss Xu can forgive and forget.”

Father Jih could humble himself, lowering his stance.

Now the most crucial thing was to resolve the issue.

“I can help you,” Chuzheng suddenly said, “but there are conditions.”

Father Jih’s eyes narrowed; he knew then that she was indeed behind it.

But who was behind her?

A competitor of his own?

Or Jih Cheng?

No…

Jih Cheng, that useless one, couldn’t be it, he didn’t have the capability, nor the resources.

In an instant, hundreds of thoughts raced through Father Jih’s mind.

“What conditions.”

Chuzheng’s fingers tapped her wrist lightly, “Simple.”
