Chapter 350: Chapter 348 Trouble at the Lu Family 1_1

One million!

Upon hearing this figure, the Xia family couldn’t help but gasp.

This young girl wasn’t old, but she sure had a big appetite.

One million was enough to buy two houses in the center of Capital City.

If you didn’t buy houses, it was enough money to live a life of luxury without ever running out—at least, that was the case at this time.

"What’s the matter, not willing to give?" When they suddenly fell silent, Xu Li couldn’t help becoming somewhat angry and felt they were being stingy despite their wealth, "If you’re unwilling, then forget it. After all, the person about to be utterly disgraced isn’t me!"

Saying this, she turned around and was ready to leave.

Despite her decisive departure, it wasn’t because she no longer wanted to extort money, but because she had the upper hand!

Only the evidence in her hands could clear Xia Ningxing of the murder accusation, and she didn’t believe they would really let her go.

Sure enough, the next second Mrs. Xia quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Miss, our family can give you one million..."

While she was speaking, Xu Li stopped in her tracks, turned around to look at her, lifted her chin, and feigned regret, "Auntie, wouldn’t it have been great if you had agreed earlier? Now that figure won’t do."

"Then how much do you really want?" Mrs. Xia frowned, having seen extortionists take advantage of a crisis before, but never to this degree.

Xu Li curled her lips, "Add another million, you have to give me a total of two million!"

Heh, it was rare to have leverage, and naturally, she would extort as much as she could.

Upon hearing this, the Xia family couldn’t help but change their expressions.

It wasn’t that two million was a lot.

But this girl was just too greedy, constantly extorting them.

"You’re absolutely insatiable!" Tuanzi slammed the table and stood up, pointing at her furiously.

Xu Li was unfazed, and even smiled helplessly, "I can’t help it, who else but me has the evidence to prove Ningxing’s innocence?"

"If you’re unwilling to give, that’s fine by me, but I’m afraid I’ll have to destroy the evidence." As she said this, Xu Li put her hand in her coat pocket, as if she was about to damage something inside.

This was no longer extortion, but a threat!

A blatant threat!

She had come here to extort money, and if she didn’t get it, the evidence would naturally have to be destroyed. After all, why should she help Xia Ningxing for nothing?

What for!

If it weren’t for the Xia family’s wealth, she wouldn’t have bothered to help Xia Ningxing at all—she would’ve been happy to see Ningxing fall from grace!

"Wait!" Seeing this, Mrs. Xia immediately became anxious, "Two million then, no more than that, our family isn’t a bank, and much of the money is tied up in operations. We can’t get any more even if you want it."

Xu Li glanced at her, saw she didn’t seem to be faking, and then nodded, reining herself in a bit.

Mrs. Xia asked urgently, "Tell us, what exactly is the evidence that can prove Bao’er’s innocence?"

After all this time, they still didn’t know what the evidence was.

"If your evidence isn’t worth the money, I won’t pay!" Mrs. Xia’s tone rose slightly.

For extortion to work, the chips in her hand had to be big enough.

"Auntie, rest assured, my evidence is definitely worth much more than what you’re paying!" Xu Li’s demeanor changed from anger to a smile as she pulled out two photographs from her pocket, "See for yourself if they’re worth the money."

Mrs. Xia immediately looked up to see.

In one of the two photographs, Wu Wenwen was pushing Xia Ningxing off a cliff.

Another photo was of Wu Wenwen mysteriously falling off a cliff.

As long as these two photos were released, Xia Ningxing’s reputation as a murderer would be immediately cleared!

She would instantly become an attacker who everyone wanted to hit, turning into a pitiable victim.

Mrs. Xia was ecstatic and reached out to grab them, "Give me the photos!"

"Money for pictures," sensing her intention, Xu Li immediately took the photos back.

These rich people are the best at playing mind games and deceiving, and she would never trust handing over the photos before getting the money. What if they reneged on the deal?

Then she took out a card, "This is my ID card. Open a bankbook with it and then transfer two million into the account."

"Okay," Mrs. Xia glanced at her greedy expression and nodded, then gave her eldest brother a look, "Go get the money."

The eldest brother left to do as told.

About twenty minutes later, the eldest brother returned with a bankbook of two million.

"The money is here, can you give us the photos now?" The eldest brother looked at her coldly.

If she wasn’t using this method to help their family, they would surely be eternally grateful, but since this was a transaction, a deal, it was enough to talk about money without needing too much expression.

"Let me see the bankbook first!" Xu Li looked at the red bankbook in his hand and felt somewhat uncertain, so she checked nervously.

The eldest brother frowned and handed the bankbook directly to her.

Upon receiving the bankbook, Xu Li immediately opened it to check. Seeing so many zeros, her fingers trembled as she counted one after another. Because she had never seen so many zeros, it took her five or six counts before she could finally confirm that it was indeed two million!

Not a penny more, not a penny less!

Oh my God!

From now on, she was a rich person!

This two million meant she wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of her life, and she could now buy cars, houses, hire people, and reach the pinnacle of life!

Dreaming of a beautiful future, Xu Li immediately felt elated.

"The photos!" Seeing her caress the bankbook like a precious item, Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but furrow her brows, her eyes flashing with disgust as she reminded her.

"Don’t worry, I am a person of my word. Of course, I will give you the photos." With the money in her possession, Xu Li didn’t hesitate and handed the photos over to the Xia family, then skipped away joyfully, her face almost blooming with happiness.

The Xia family: "..."

After Xu Li had left, Mrs. Xia couldn’t contain her anger, not because she was sad about the money but because Xu Li’s greedy face disgusted her: "What kind of person is this, using such a despicable method to blackmail money, not afraid to lose her life before she can spend it!"

"Mom, you’re right..." Xia Ningxing, who had been silent until now, suddenly lifted her gaze, her expression a mix of a smirk and a smile.

"What?" Mrs. Xia and the others looked at her, puzzled.

Xia Ningxing repeated, "She won’t have a life to spend it."

That was why she had let Xu Li blackmail them earlier.

She was an orphan with no parents, and once she died, the account would be closed, and the money would automatically be donated to a charitable organization by the bank.

So, on the surface, it seemed like the Xia family was blackmailed by Xu Li, but in reality, it was a contribution of love.

"Why?" Mrs. Xia didn’t understand.

Xia Ningxing smiled faintly, her eyes mysteriously twinkling, "You’ll know soon enough."

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Mrs. Xia heard the sound of an ambulance. Upon asking around, she found out that Xu Li, after leaving their house, was suddenly killed by an old, poorly maintained billboard by the roadside.
