79: Chapter 79 Taking advantage of a crisis

But soon!

After the initial rage, Zhou Meiren calmed down.

Zhou Wanjun had already been arrested, and he was now a wanted criminal.

There was simply no way out.

Moreover, since Zhao Feiyu possessed such formidable strength,

he would certainly not let him go.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Meiren asked coldly, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"What I mean is, are you just going to let it go like this? Do you really want to watch your ex-wife scream while being toyed with by Zhao Feiyu? He is the one who caused the downfall of the Zhou Family; are you really willing to accept that?"

"Hmph! Ji Xiaoer!"

Zhou Meiren snorted coldly.

"Do you think I don't know what kind of game you're playing? Did you also suffer a loss at the hands of Zhao Feiyu, and now you want to use me as a blade to deal with him?"

"Oh? Why did your brain suddenly start working today? It seems the downfall of the Zhou Family has had a big impact on you. Are you perhaps that legendary figure whose power grows only when their relatives are sacrificed? Do you only become strong after a few people die?"

Ji Xiaoer's tone was full of mockery.

Zhou Meiren clenched his fists, letting out a silent roar.

He hated Zhao Feiyu.

But at this moment, he had no other options.

Although Ji Xiaoer had his own motives, was he really willing to just leave like this?

"What kind of solution do you have?"

After a long while, Zhou Meiren took a deep breath and asked.

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't be resigned to this. But don't worry, I can guarantee that you will be able to leave Yunduan City smoothly!"

Seeing that Zhou Meiren had taken the bait, Ji Xiaoer immediately revealed his plan.

"Aren't you still holding one of Zhao Feiyu's chess pieces in your hand?"

"Chess piece? What do you mean?"

Zhou Meiren was somewhat confused.

"Zhao Feiyu played with your ex-wife, didn't you also play with his ex-wife? Li Shanshan must not know about Zhao Feiyu's identity and financial power. If she knew that Zhao Feiyu had so much money before they got married, what do you think she would do?"

"Do you think a trick like that is useful against someone who can casually pull out tens of billions?"

In front of those super-rich people,

rules are just toys for them.

They are meant to bind the poor, not them.

"Then what if... his money came from an unknown source?"

"Hm?"

Zhou Meiren shuddered, his pupils constricting.

"An illicit source?"

"Yes!"

Ji Xiaoer said with extreme certainty.

"The international investigators I hired at a high price managed to track their transfer information, but they were helpless when it came to Zhao Feiyu's accounts. Where exactly Zhao Feiyu's money comes from is still an unknown!"

"However..."

"I had someone investigate his entire background."

"I discovered that he was just a child who grew up in an Orphanage."

"I have already found his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him in the Orphanage."

"She can prove that Zhao Feiyu is indeed an orphan."

"Since that's the case, where exactly did his money come from?"

"It must be problematic!"

Hearing this, Zhou Meiren fell silent.

Ji Xiaoer's words were also somewhat speculative and couldn't be fully trusted.

Relying solely on his childhood sweetheart could only prove that Zhao Feiyu was an orphan, but it couldn't prove that Zhao Feiyu's money was from an illicit source.

Seeing that Zhou Meiren was still hesitant,

Ji Xiaoer said again, "Ask yourself, what ordinary person could possibly acquire tens of billions in less than a month? Is that even possible?"

"Do you know that Zhao Feiyu lived an ordinary life for the three years he was married to Li Shanshan?"

"But right after the divorce, Zhao Feiyu suddenly displayed his immense financial power."

"Listen to me, as long as we blow this matter up, Zhao Feiyu will be forced by the pressure to explain his income."

"When that time comes, as long as there is an issue with his income, he will be completely finished!"

"You're telling me all this, what do you want me to do?"

Zhou Meiren asked directly.

"Actually, you could completely do all of this yourself!"

"Hey! Look at what you're saying. We are brothers, aren't we? I just saw that you were preparing to run away, so I wanted to help you out!"

Ji Xiaoer said nonchalantly.

"I don't have much of a grudge against Zhao Feiyu. But you, think about it: if one day you suddenly die and are trapped in a coffin, and you suddenly remember Zhao Feiyu, wouldn't you be so angry that you'd sit up in your coffin?"

"Just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Zhou Meiren didn't want to hear any more of his nonsense and asked sternly.

"It's very simple. I help you get revenge, and you give me five billion!"

"Damn it, Ji Xiaoer!"

Zhou Meiren couldn't hold back anymore and cursed furiously.

"Your real purpose is just to get my money, isn't it?"

"Hehe, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I help you get revenge, you give me money, and your problem gets solved. That's very fair!"

Ji Xiaoer laughed deviously.

"I know that when your old man arranged for you to go abroad, he must have left you a backup plan, and that backup plan is probably worth at least ten billion!"

Zhou Meiren's heart sank completely.

Ji Xiaoer was simply too cunning.

He guessed too accurately.

Zhou Wanjun really had left ten billion for Zhou Meiren.

"Let me tell you, Ji Xiaoer, that's impossible, you know?"

Zhou Meiren was so angry that he hung up the phone directly.

A mere Zhao Feiyu was not worth Zhou Meiren spending five billion just to vent this anger.

As for his old man's revenge,

what did that have to do with him?

Ten billion, oh ten billion, enough to spend for a lifetime!

However, just at this moment, Ji Xiaoer's phone call came through again.

Zhou Meiren hung up the phone directly and prepared to turn it off.

But just then, Ji Xiaoer suddenly sent a text message: "Are you almost at the airport? Let me tell you, five billion, and I can help you get revenge and let you leave smoothly. Otherwise, you can go inside and keep your old man company!"

A threat!

This was a blatant threat!

Seeing this text message,

Zhou Meiren was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

But he was helpless.

This guy knew his whereabouts.

If he just reported him, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.

At this moment, Zhou Meiren's anger toward Ji Xiaoer was even greater than his anger toward Zhao Feiyu.

If Ji Xiaoer were right in front of him, Zhou Meiren would definitely strangle him to death.

With no other choice, Zhou Meiren had no choice but to call him back.

"Ji Xiaoer, considering we were friends, is it necessary to be this ruthless?"

"Look here, brother, with the foundation of the Zhou Family, and the assets your father left you, it's enough for you to live for several lifetimes. What's wrong with sharing some with me?"

Ji Xiaoer said smugly.

"How much money do you want?"

"Five billion!"

"Impossible! My dad didn't even give me that much!"

"Five billion, not a penny less. There's no room for negotiation. Otherwise, you can go and join your father!"

Ji Xiaoer didn't give him any face at all, directly extorting him blatantly.

"Ji Xiaoer!!!"

Zhou Meiren squeezed these three words out from between his back teeth.

"Damn it, I accept my fate! Give me your account number!"

A moment later,

Zhou Meiren transferred five billion to Ji Xiaoer directly.

"Is this enough now?"

"Don't worry, we've been brothers, I will definitely keep my promise. You can just leave with peace of mind!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Meiren looked at the rising sun, his fists clenched tightly.

"A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs! You all just wait for me; one day, I will definitely come back!"
