Chapter 381: Chapter 381 Threatening Mrs. Cheng
Mrs. Cheng opened her eyes and saw the big man who had threatened her with a knife earlier. She was about to scream, but before she could, the man said, "If you want to die, just go ahead and scream."
That one sentence made Mrs. Cheng close her mouth. People say living poorly is better than dying, and she hadn’t lived enough yet, she definitely didn’t want to die.
"Now, I’ll ask you a question, you answer." The big man saw Mrs. Cheng was quite sensible, nodded in satisfaction, and then asked directly, "Is Cheng Li really your daughter?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng’s heart skipped, and then she scrutinized the big man, guessing their intentions and origins.
"Speak up!" The big man saw Mrs. Cheng hesitating and once again pulled out the knife, playing with it in front of her.
Seeing the man’s knife, Mrs. Cheng was scared again. But she was always smart, knowing that Cheng Li had finally achieved a high status, she couldn’t drag her down.
So, even if the man put the knife to her neck, she didn’t tell the truth and gritted her teeth, "No!"
"Really not?" The big man obviously didn’t believe it, picked up the knife, and suddenly stabbed it into the ground in front of Mrs. Cheng, startling her, her face turning pale.
Looking at the gleaming knife, Mrs. Cheng was extremely afraid. Her originally firm heart was starting to waver. She didn’t want to drag her daughter down, but if these people really wanted her life, she could only tell the truth.
After all, no matter how good her daughter was, isn’t her own life more important?
The big man saw Mrs. Cheng was scared and pressed her again, "You’d better be sensible, otherwise the next time this knife stabs won’t be in front of you but on you."
Mrs. Cheng looked at the knife, then at the big man, hesitating.
Should she tell the truth or not?
"You’d better think carefully before you speak!" The big man warned again, looking at the hesitant Mrs. Cheng. He didn’t want to hear any more lies from her.
"If I tell the truth, can you guarantee you won’t kill me?" Mrs. Cheng asked softly.
"Of course, as long as you tell the truth, why would we kill you?"
"Then, those money, can you return it to me too?" Mrs. Cheng made another request. That money was as important to her as her life, otherwise, she wouldn’t sleep with it.
"That depends on your performance."
"Don’t worry, as long as you return the money to me, I will definitely behave well."
"We’ll consider it!"
Although the big man didn’t give Mrs. Cheng a definite promise, she was still quite happy. So, she thought and said, "Do you keep your word?"
"Cut the nonsense!" someone beside her shouted impatiently, which made Mrs. Cheng shrink back and then glance timidly at the speaker before she finally said, "Cheng, Cheng Li is, is my daughter."
"Is she your biological daughter?" The big man confirmed once more, his eyes locking onto Mrs. Cheng, missing no expression on her face.
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Cheng nodded quickly, saying to herself, "Xiao Li, I’m sorry, mom has no choice."
"Just as I thought!" The big man sighed quietly, then instructed his subordinates, "Take her, we’re going back to report!"
"Understood!" the subordinates responded in unison, then stepped forward to take Mrs. Cheng away. Hearing the big man’s words and seeing people walking towards her, Mrs. Cheng was alarmed, saying, "What are you doing? You don’t keep your word?"
"We don’t need to keep our word with you." the big man replied, then waved his hand, directly ordering his subordinates to grab Mrs. Cheng.
