Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Turning Enemies into Allies

"If I have to do it myself, my son absolutely cannot die! He must live, and I will do everything in my power to save him. You must give me a million, or I will expose you!"

Having issued her harsh ultimatum, Wang Mingyan hung up the phone.

A bodyguard eavesdropping at the door immediately returned to Ji Feifan’s office to report.

Lin Zhi was also inside, and it was her idea to have someone listen in.

She guessed that after she left, Wang Mingyan wouldn’t be able to remain calm and would seek Ye Shimin for money. After all, the five hundred thousand she had secured was given by her, while Ye Shimin hadn’t contributed a dime. There was no way Wang Mingyan would be satisfied with that.

As expected, Wang Minyan immediately changed her demand to a million.

Ji Feifan could not but admire Lin Zhi’s prediction; she had gotten it exactly right.

But he was still puzzled, "What is your purpose in doing this? To make them fight each other like dogs?"

Lin Zhi shook her head, "It’s also a kind of test to see that Wang Mingyan really wants to save her child. Ye Shimin will definitely not give her a million. Without the money, she will surely expose him."

"But exposing him will land her in prison too."

Lin Zhi smiled, "Being in prison might be far less significant to her than her son’s life. As long as she can save her son, she would definitely be willing to spend some time in jail. Besides, she still has a trump card; I promised her that if she reveals the mastermind, I will save her son, and all expenses will be on me."

Ji Feifan said helplessly, "I’ve never seen anyone as generous as you. She framed you, yet you still repay evil with good."

"This is called letting money do the talking. It’s just that my methods and the thinking of normal people are different. I spend money to not only solve problems but also to draw out the mastermind, and even save a person. This is killing three birds with one stone."

Ji Feifan laughed after hearing this, "Your way of thinking really is different from ordinary people!"

When normal people encounter such situations, they would rather spend money to settle matters quietly and would not benefit their enemy.

But she did the opposite, spending directly on her enemies. Whatever they want, she provides, making her an ideal target for extortion.

But she was right, money can indeed make the devil turn the millstone. Money can also turn an enemy into an ally.

"The main thing is, I’m doing a good deed by doing this," Lin Zhi emphasized.

Ji Feifan immediately admired her greatly, "You really are a good person, and can even be called a virtuous person. I’m not being sarcastic here. The world is becoming increasingly selfish and indifferent, and no one wants to do good deeds. Even over trivial matters, people can become fearfully malevolent. But you, even now, don’t forget to do good deeds. I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart."

No way!

Lin Zhi feigned a serene exterior, but internally she was cursing!

If it weren’t for the fact that she was ordained to suffer hardships through ten lifetimes, if it weren’t for her aim to complete the Merit and break the curse, would she be this kind?

She was holding her peace for the sake of greater plans, for the sake of completing the Merit, she had to do good deeds.

Yet, Lin Zhi admired herself for being able to do good deeds even under these circumstances. It truly was... very noble.

But her kindness was not without a bit of scheming.

She gave Wang Mingyan hope, and now by letting go and plunging her into despair, Lin Zhi knew she couldn’t endure it.

It’s good that she can’t endure, she would agree to her conditions sooner.

Lin Zhi indeed gave the money to Ye Shimin, but she secretly recorded it as evidence.

As for the batch of raw stones Ye Shimin was going to sell to her, she also agreed to take them, but not right away.

"Mr. Ye, my funds haven’t arrived yet. Once I have the money, I’ll buy."
