It was hard not to believe in her powerful and resonating words.

Everyone looked at her simultaneously.

In that moment, they seemed to suddenly understand her.

Shen Liangchuan was wealthy, but that was his money.

Qiao Lian didn’t want to get others embroiled, neither was she trying to evade her responsibility.

She even suggested an effective solution, “I will open a bank account meant to compensate you all. Every month, I will deposit money into this account. You can also choose to appoint an overseer. Would that be okay?”

At some point, this matter had to be resolved.

She had been running away for eight years.

Now that she had a means of survival, she really had to stop running away.

This idea was effective and simple.

Everyone in the crowd looked at each other.

She wasn’t even afraid of death and, if they didn’t settle with the promised money, what else could they want?

No one spoke up to object.

Even the reporters had fallen silent.

Through the reporters’ video cameras, this moment was livestreamed to the rest of the world.

From a long distance away, in Suzhou, Lu Nanze watched this with widened eyes, obviously shaken by her words.

He had not known that Qiao Lian had actually suffered this much.

Immediately, an image of her frail figure appeared in his mind.

A pampered little mistress… crouching in a corner of a hotel washing dishes.

He clenched his fists tightly, the expression in his eyes deepened.

Just at this point, Qiao Yiyi came into the room carrying a cup of freshly-brewed coffee. She placed the cup on the table.

She raised her head, saying, “Second Brother, you—”

Before she could finish, Lu Nanze suddenly threw a fit. He extended his arm and swept the cup of coffee away.

Then he sprang up from his chair, suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiao Yiyi by the neck. Eyes burning with fury, he asked her, “Tell me, were you the one who informed all these people that Qiao Lian was in Beijing?”

The grip around her neck was tight and the woman started to choke and turn pale.

Using both her hands to try to loosen Lu Nanze’s grip, she barely managed to whisper hoarsely, “Second Brother, let me go. I- I just couldn’t bare to see it… What right did she have to treat you like that?”

“This is my business. What has it got to do with you?!”

As he said this, he gave Qiao Yiyi a hard shove. She staggered back a few steps and fell on the ground.

He stood over her and looked at her, saying, “Qiao Yiyi, I hope this is the last time you do something like this. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that the next time I won’t strangle you to death.”

The woman’s eyes immediately clouded over with a fearful look of uncertainty.

–

Beijing, outside the hospital.

After Qiao Lian had said what she wanted to say, she stood there.

All the people around were quiet.

She nodded and continued, “Since there are no objections, then—”

“I object,” a weak voice spoke and, at once, Qiao Lian froze. She spun around and saw that Shen Liangchuan, with a bandage around his head, was walking towards her unsteadily. His face was pale.

She bit her lip immediately.

That’s right. Her future paychecks actually all belonged to Shen Liangchuan too. Assets acquired after marriage were joint assets. Without his agreement, she couldn’t do as she personally wished.

As these thoughts entered her mind, Shen Liangchuan said unhurriedly, “For the 17 workers who died in that incident, I’ve already contacted the social security company. Compensation will be paid out in a single payment, the sum will be apportioned accordingly. As for those who bought properties, I’ve already sent people to take care of the collapsed building. In two years, you will get your apartments.”

After these words, he squinted slightly.

Running away would never solve the problem, he had to start counter-attacking.

To Suzhou! This was also in order to investigate the truth behind her parents’ deaths.
