Chapter 130 - Continue thinking
“I am just a small researcher in the institute. If it wasn’t because of Miss Dong, who got jealous of you, why would I be involved?! You should blame Big Boss instead! It’s bad enough that she decided to take her life! Why did she have to leave her inheritance to you?! It would be a happy ending for all of us if she just gave it to her sister! Hong Lu, you’re just a deputy director at the institute. You won’t be able to win against Miss Dong.
“The only thing that she wants are your shares. As long as you give them to Miss Dong, you will be alive, and she will let you work at the Lawrence Institute. If you refuse to give it up, you may be able to stay alive, but your life will be so ruined that you’ll wish that you were dead! Miss Dong will definitely make your life a living hell.”
Upon hearing what Liao Ke was saying, Hong Lu once again let out the creepy, demonic laugh, sending chills down his spine.
“Stop it! You’re imitating her laugh! Why are you imitating her? Why are you doing this! Why do you have to laugh in such a creepy way? Do you think you’re in a horror film?!”
As he was reminded of the smile on that woman’s face, Liao Ke immediately thought of her as a thousand-year-old demon. It was extremely scary.
As for Hong Lu, she decided to stop trying and just lay down on the ground.
Since there was no use in struggling, she might as well just rest.
Therefore, she changed her position and was casually lying on the ground as she placed one injured leg on top of another.
Even though it was winter and extremely cold, Hong Lu was still wearing a long, red dress.
The sweater that she had on before had been taken off during the fight. The knee length, red dress showed off her charming figure. Even in a life-or-death situation, she was still the one who was in control of the situation.
“If I turn into a ghost, I would definitely be a scary one. Do you prefer for me to come over to your house a week after my death or should I be there earlier, to accompany you?”
Liao Ke jumped up in fear as he screamed, “No one is trying to kill you! I already said that Miss Dong is only asking for the shares, not your life! Hand over the shares and you’ll be able to leave safely.”
As soon as he was done, a scrawny man dressed in a suit appeared right in front of her, a laptop in his hand.
“Miss Hong Lu, I hope that you are smart to make the right choice concerning your life and freedom and the shares.”
Hong Lu sneered, “If I told you… That big boss has not given me a single penny from her shares, would you believe me?”
“You were extremely close to Big Boss and you are an expert in the medical field. Miss Dong has already checked everyone and everything—the Lawrence institute as well as all the other properties that she owned, and none of them were ‘Jing, Mo, Chen, Chang.’ The Lawrence Institute only holds about 2% of the total shares in the medical field, which is why you are the only person on this earth who would have the rest of the shares.”
“Looking at how you’re trying to explain yourself, one might actually think that you knew who Big Boss really well.”
“I don’t have to know her that well, since she’s too far from my reach. It is good enough that Miss Dong knows her well. As for someone who works for Miss Dong, the only thing that I have to do is to help her achieve her dreams. If you don’t want to suffer, just hand over the shares. Otherwise, it will be an extremely long night for you.”
“Oh well, that’s too bad. I did not take any of the shares that you were referring to. So, if you really want to bring something back, I only have my life to offer to you.”
“It looks like Miss Hong isn’t ready to give up on the shares, but it’s understandable, since these shares are worth millions. You can take your time to think about it, then. We have all the time in the world for you to do that.”
