Chapter 396 Cooperation must continue
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Qiao Chuchu noticed that the old man was uneasy and took the initiative to ask.
"We have hired bodyguards too. You can have them follow you for the next few days. Grandpa, don't worry."
Qiao Chuchu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She now had a large group of people following her every day when she went out. If she included the people from the Jing family, she might have more people with her than the ancient emperors.
"No need, Grandpa. My summer vacation is coming up soon, and I don't have any classes right now. I plan to stay in Lishuiju to write my final paper and not go out much."
Hearing her say this, Jing Boxian felt a little relieved.
If you are outside, you will always be found and exploited, but at home you are safe.
After chatting with the family at Jing's house for a while, Qiao Chuchu did not stay for dinner, so Xiao Cheng left with her.
They walked to Qiao Chuchu's car together. Xiao Cheng gently stopped her arm and looked down at her.
"I'm sorry, I was too anxious, so I came here to ask Uncle Jing and Aunt Jing to persuade you to stay at the Jing family."
Qiao Chuchu smiled. She knew that Xiao Cheng meant well.
"I didn't tell them because I was afraid they would worry. It's okay."
Xiao Cheng hummed, and looked at Qiao Chuchu with unspeakable emotions in his eyes.
Just now at the Jing family, he listened carefully to her words in defense of Huo Yunzheng.
She really cares about Huo Yunzheng and admires him very much.
How could a girl not be afraid when facing such a vicious person? But because Huo Yunzheng was by her side, she dared to face him.
Even if her personal safety was in uncertain danger, she would stay by Huo Yunzheng's side.
"Brother Xiao Cheng, I'm going back first. Please drive carefully on the road."
Qiao Chuchu didn't notice that Xiao Cheng was not right. She was only focused on going back home. Baby Zi Yan was still waiting for her at home. He sent her a WeChat message saying that he had baked a small cake for her.
She couldn't be a spoilsport parent, so she had to go back and praise her baby.
Xiao Cheng watched her get into the car and left. He stood there for a long time before getting into his own car.
……
Late at night, in a hotel in Beijing.
Evan looked at the person invited in by Charles and took the initiative to invite him to sit down.
"Brother Bing, oh, no, I should call you Deputy Director Du."
The man who came in was about fifty years old, wearing a navy blue shirt and black trousers, and there were obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
He sat down directly, his slightly sparse eyebrows frowned, and he seemed very annoyed.
"Deputy Director Du, how is the approval document for our KM Group? You haven't contacted me yet, so I have no choice but to ask someone to pick you up. It's quiet here and no one will disturb you. If you have any questions, just tell me and we can discuss it."
He was polite in words, but there was already intimidation and displeasure in his eyes.
How many days has it been?
The man sat on the sofa and sighed. Looking closely, his thighs were still shaking under the light.
This is a sign of fear and nervousness.
"Mr. Evan, I'm afraid I can't do anything for you."
Evan was not surprised to hear this, as if he had expected him to say this.
He chuckled, poured a glass of water for the other party, and said slowly, "Deputy Director Du, you can't say that. You promised that we would pay and you would do the work. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
The man shook his head. "Things are different now. The higher-ups are keeping a close eye on me. I can't do anything about it. If I continue, I won't be able to protect myself. So, Mr. Evan, I will return your money without moving a cent. Let's end our cooperation here."
As soon as these words came out, the man clearly saw that Evan's expression changed.
His heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
"Since Deputy Director Du said so, it's really a pity."
Evan crossed his legs and waved his hand. Charles immediately stepped forward, handed him a cell phone, and then looked at him with great contempt.
"I have no objection to terminating the cooperation, but Deputy Director Du had better take a look at this first, and then it won't be too late for you to make a decision."
He put the phone in front of the man and a video played.
When the man saw who the person in the video was and what she was doing, his expression changed suddenly.
His hands were shaking violently and his heart was aching.
"You, you guys!"
Evan smiled and leaned over to pull out a cigar from the box on the table. Charles walked forward and lit the cigarette for his boss.
As the smoke rose, Evan looked at the man who was on the verge of collapse.
"Deputy Director Du, if you don't want this video to be exposed and let others know that your daughter Du Bing is taking drugs and holding adult parties abroad, it's best to continue our cooperation. I'm not forcing you, the director. I'm also thinking about your career and the safety of your daughter."
"A girl, studying abroad, alone, will inevitably seek excitement. This thing is not cheap, and her living expenses are almost all spent."
Du Bing covered his chest with his hands. No wonder, no wonder his wife told him that their daughter had been asking for money frequently recently.
He was about to make a phone call to inquire, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen.
I know my daughter best. She has been very well behaved since she was young and she would never take the initiative to touch these things.
These scumbags must have deliberately framed him. They wanted to use his daughter as a bargaining chip to force him to work for them? !
Evan took the phone back and threw it to Charles, then looked at Du Bing, whose eyes had turned red and whose face had turned pale.
"How about it, Deputy Director Du, please reconsider it? I know this is not an easy thing to do, but you are different, Deputy Director Du. You have the ability, it just takes some effort."
"Just tell me how much it costs, as long as it can be done."
Du Bing looked at him tremblingly. How could this be a matter of money?
If it was really possible, would he still be sitting here tonight?
Du Bing is now in a completely desperate situation, with no way out and no way forward.
He felt extremely regretful. He shouldn't have gotten involved with this group of people. He ruined his daughter and his career.
"Charles, send a car to take the director back home. Let him have a good rest so that he can help us with our work."
Evan had a sinister smile on his face and stuffed the remaining box of cigars into Du Bing's arms.
"It's worthless. Deputy Director Du is feeling depressed, so use it to relieve his stress. When the matter is settled, I will definitely give you something better."
Du Bing was almost carried out by Charles.
He returned to his home like a zombie, and his wife was still waiting for him.
More than two hours ago, Du Bing was taken away from his home by several vicious men. She had been worried that something might happen to him.
"What's going on? Who are those people?" the wife asked anxiously.
Du Bing did not tell his family about the transaction between him and KM Group.
Seeing his wife's concerned look, Du Bing's tears instantly flowed out, and he knelt down in front of her.
