Ma Xiangming quickly grabbed my wrist. "Chu Jie! I have other things to discuss with you!"
I replied coldly, "What is it?"
Ma Xiangming sighed in relief. "Chu Jie, I heard that you have a connection with Prosecutor Chen."
Prosecutor Chen?
Yunnuo?
I frowned. "How do you know that?"
Ma Xiangming said, "Can you help me arrange a meeting with her?"
I was surprised. "What do you want to see her for?"
Ma Xiangming's expression turned serious. "To be honest, I've run into some trouble recently."
I let out a cold laugh. "You’re not in legal trouble, are you?"
The corner of Ma Xiangming's eye twitched. "No... not at all."
He explained, "I've been looking to invest in a business and need to find some partners."
"I heard that Prosecutor Chen has a wide network, and I want to ask her to introduce me to a few partners."
I scoffed.
Ma Xiangming really was incorrigible!
He clearly had gotten himself into trouble but refused to admit it!
And he came up with such a grand excuse to fool me!
Did he really think I would believe him?
I stared into his eyes. "Ma Xiangming, I'll ask you one more time."
"Did you break the law?"
Ma Xiangming hesitated for a moment before nodding in acknowledgment.
Just as I thought!
I knew he wasn't hiding anything good!
Ma Xiangming said, "But I only participated a little."
"At most, you're an accomplice."
I scoffed.
An accomplice?
Why didn't he just say he was the mastermind?
Seeing that I remained silent, Ma Xiangming continued, "Chu Jie, as long as you help me with this."
"I’m willing to pay you five hundred thousand every year!"
I raised an eyebrow at him.
Another five hundred thousand?
Did he think I was a beggar?
Ma Xiangming seemed to sense my thoughts and added, "In addition to the five hundred thousand, I'm also willing to cover all of Chao Ran's expenses."
I sneered. "All expenses?"
Ma Xiangming nodded. "Yes!"
"When I graduate from Chao Ran University and get married, I will gift him a duplex apartment in the city center!"
I was taken aback.
Wait a minute!
How does he know I will get married after graduating from Chao Ran University?
And… why would he want to give me a house in Chao Ran?
Ma Xiangming clearly had no idea that I had suddenly become wealthy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't think a mere one million could settle things with me!
After all, the assets prepared for Chao Ran alone exceed one billion!
Not to mention Yunnuo's wealth!
A cold smile crept onto my lips. "Ma Xiangming, who do you think you are?"
"You think you can dismiss me with such a small amount of money?"
Ma Xiangming was taken aback. "Then how much do you want?"
I let out a cold laugh. "I want to see you in prison!"
Ma Xiangming's expression changed. "What do you mean by that?"
I shrugged. "The literal meaning."
Ma Xiangming frowned. "Chu Jie, what trick are you playing this time?"
I smiled coldly. "Ma Xiangming, just wait!"
At that moment, the door to the private room was flung open.
A woman dressed in an extravagant outfit stormed in.
She approached me with an imposing demeanor, pointing a finger at my nose and shouting, “You’re the mistress that Ma Xiangming is keeping outside?”
I was taken aback.
Who is this woman?
Without warning, she raised her hand and slapped me hard across the face. “You shameless vixen!”
In the next instant, she grabbed my hair and yanked me up from my chair.
Pulling my hair, she shoved me aside.
“You shameless hussy! How dare you seduce my husband!”
I covered my swollen cheek with my hand, glaring at the woman.
This woman is… Ma Xiangming’s wife!
The vicious woman who once destroyed our relationship!
I let out a cold laugh. “So it’s you!”
