Chapter 224 Consideration
He puffed out smoke and said, “Besides, it’s not that I’m asking for too much. Do you know where you’ll be imprisoned for life imprisonment? A felony prison! Most of the inmates there are vicious and evil people. Their hands are mostly stained with blood, unlike people like your son who bribe people to do things! Do you think Lu Ze can survive for a few days with his delicate body?”.
His words suffocated the couple facing him!
As expected, Tang Wenyi was the first to panic. Her precious son was not good at fighting. In addition, he had uremia and would faint or vomit blood from time to time. It was impossible for the prison officers to pay attention to him all the time. Moreover, no one would be willing to take the initiative to show concern for a criminal.
The harsh environment would only hasten their son’s death!
At the thought of this, she gritted her teeth and said, “Mr. Gao is right. Then name a price!”
“You asked me to say this yourself. Don’t blame me if you think it’s too high. After all, this matter is really difficult to handle. Other than me who’s willing to give you a chance, others either don’t have a higher position than me or don’t have the guts to do this. I can be said to be your only savior now.”
Gao Qiang raised his stubby fingers, his eyes flashing. He said, “On account that we’re old friends, let’s do this. If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn’t lower the price so much. If you give me so much more, I guarantee that I’ll immediately release your son unscathed!”
Tang Wenyi and Lu Yaohua looked at each other, and the latter asked tentatively, “Another 5 million yuan?” “Mr. Lu is so smart, how could you not understand what I mean? Of course, it’s 50 million yuan! To be honest, I’ve been short of money recently. Because my son is getting married, I planned to buy a few apartments for him in Tangchen First Class. Coincidentally, you came looking for me. Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?”
Gao Qiang slapped his thigh and smiled.
The two people opposite him could not be happy. Isn’t this treating us like fools?! they thought.
Lu Yaohua looked troubled as he said, “50 million yuan is a huge sum to us. Can you lower it on account of our past ties? We really can’t fork out 50 million yuan in such a short time. Even the Lu Corporation at its peak couldn’t do it!”
It used to be 20 to 30 million yuan. Why is it getting more and more expensive now?

Is he taking advantage of the situation? he thought.
“I didn’t ask you to raise so much money in the short term, right? Actually, I’m not in a hurry about this matter. When you can raise the money and I let him out, you’ll definitely profit from this deal. Moreover, I only added a mere 50 million yuan on account of your downfall. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have relented until they gave me 70 to 80 million yuan.”
Gao Qiangguo flicked the cigarette ash in the trash can and said, “Think carefully. Anyway, I can afford to wait. I just don’t know if your son can wait. I went to the felony prison previously and saw that the beds inside are made of iron frames. No matter whether it’s spring, summer, autumn, or winter, there’s only a blanket. There’s no air conditioner, and there are many rats.” He kept pressuring the two of them. The Lu family was indeed down and out, but wasn’t the Tang family doing well? The wealthy families in Beijing lived up to their reputation! As long as Tang Wenyi begged Tang Boyan, 50 million yuan was nothing. At the thought of this, he felt that he had lost out by asking for too little.
He could only blame himself for being too kind!
“Have the two of you thought it through? The opportunity cannot be missed. It won’t come again. After this, there won’t be such a store in this village anymore. If someone else gets here first in a few days, don’t blame me for not warning you. Although I like money, I only want to buy a few apartments now.”
Gao Qiangguo looked at them with a smile and said, “And it’s not that I want to say this—but Mr. Lu’s ex-wife’s son now has so many companies under him and earns billions of yuan every year. Why don’t you go ask him? Maybe he’ll give it to you? Blood is thicker than water. No matter what happens, he’s your
son.”
Previously, he wanted to befriend Lu Ming, but he was refused access to him. He did not even get to see Lu Ming. Usually, no matter where he was, at least people were polite to him on the surface. Only Lu Ming did not take him seriously! However, it was understandable. After all, this person had a close relationship with the Tesla CEO.
And with that old fellow, Tang Mingkun, as his backer, his relationship network was very complicated! No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could not go against Lu Ming openly. This was his confidence!
Tang Wenyi’s face was pale as she said, “50 million yuan. We have to consider it again. I’ll give you an answer tonight, alright?” “Alright, alright, alright! Of course! I look forward to working with you.”
Seeing that she was about to take the box, Gao Qiangguo quickly pulled the money toward himself and said, “Just say it. Do you want to take back the water that was spilled?”
Tang Wenyi’s eyes widened. “I… This…”
If the deal fell through, wouldn’t this be equivalent to giving him 5 million yuan for free?! She had originally wanted to invest the money and make some money out of it. She did not expect the person in front of her to take it!
