Chong Jianzhi acted as if he didn't see it at all. He picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract.

Bai Yong knelt like that for nearly ten minutes before he looked up.

He is a businessman and has no personal relationship with Bai Yong. Bai Yong's factory caused him to lose tens of millions of dollars inexplicably, and someone had to be found to bear the debt. Bai Yong seemed innocent, but not innocent either.

"I'm a businessman. It's useless for you to kneel before me." After signing the last document, he looked up and said, "I can only extend it until this weekend. When the weekend comes, you can wait for the court summons. Go to jail or pay the money. These are the only two choices you have."

Bai Yong felt hopeless after hearing this. He was dead, but he still had a wife and children. How would they survive without him?

His daughter is only twenty-two years old and has a long and good life ahead of her.

After leaving Zhengyue, Bai Yong made a decision.

When he returned home that night, Bai Chaochao had just returned from an interview, and his wife was sick and lying in bed. He called the mother and daughter over and told them his thoughts.

"I have deposited three million in an overseas bank. They can't check it, and they can't check it. You can use this money to live abroad when the time comes."

"Dad...what are you talking about? Don't you have no money? What will you do if mom and I leave?"

"Don't worry about me. I will only feel relieved if you live well."

"dad!"

Bai Yong finally touched Bai Chaochao's head. She had dyed her hair black regularly but had no time to take care of it. In the past few months, her hair had turned white. Bai Chaochao felt very sad. She couldn't help crying and hugged Bai Yong tightly. She didn't know what else she could do to solve this crisis at home.

"Three million is not enough."

Bai Chaochao's mother suddenly spoke, her tone full of complaints.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Bai Chaochao's face was full of disbelief. "Are you obsessed with money? Your husband is about to go to jail, and you're still wondering if you have enough money to spend?"

Bai Chaochao's mother was speechless after being rebuked. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something and asked her again: "Isn't your best friend, Zheng, Mr. Chong's sister? Go and ask her for mercy! She is your best friend, how can she ignore our lives?"

"Nie Zheng is Nie Zheng, and Chong Jianzhi is Chong Jianzhi! Zheng Zheng is the adopted daughter of the Chong family... Her status is embarrassing enough. If she hadn't begged Chong Jianzhi desperately before, how could he give us an extra month? How else can she beg now? Does she have that much face?"

Bai Chaochao's mother was speechless, muttering that it was useless for Bai Chaochao to make friends with this person, and began to think about how to arrange the three million.

……

A few days passed, and Nie Zheng was so overwhelmed by her internship that she had to take some time off. Thinking of Bai Yong, she hurriedly called to ask about Bai Chaochao's father's condition. Bai Chaochao was afraid that she would worry, so he forced a smile and lied to her, saying that the bastard who ran away with the money had been found.

Nie Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "See, I told you it would be alright. Now that we have found the person, things will be easier from now on."

“Yes, yes.”

After hanging up the phone, she finally felt relieved. On a whim, she took out a photo of her and Bai Chaochao taken in their first year of high school. Looking at the two young people in the photo, she couldn't help but laugh.

She sent the photo to Bai Chaochao, but the other party never replied to her.

The next morning, Bai Chaochao still did not reply to Nie Zheng's message.

Nie Zheng then realized something was wrong. She called Bai Chaochao, but the user on the other end was always busy.

Richard came in, and Nie Zheng didn't have time to think about it, so she hurried over to ask, "What's the situation with Bai Yong's company now?"

Richard was a little embarrassed: "Ms. Nie Zheng...I can't disclose this."

"Is there anything inconvenient to disclose? Richard, just tell me. You also know the relationship between Bai Chaochao and me. I am also considered a half-relative of the Bai family. Can you make an exception and tell me?"

Richard was very helpless, but was still convinced. He shook his head at Nie Zheng without saying a word, but he had already given her the answer.

Sure enough...

She guessed right, Bai Chaochao was indeed lying to her.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng wanted to plead for Bai Yong again. Tens of millions was just a drop in the bucket for Chong Jianzhi, but in front of the Bai family, it was a mountain that could crush their family.

As she was preparing to go upstairs hesitantly, Chong Jianzhi happened to be coming downstairs, and they bumped into each other. She quickly took two steps back, stood at the stairs, staring at him eagerly, wanting to say something but not being able to.

"What?"

"Brother, regarding Bai Yong's matter...can you please..."

"No."

Chong Jianzhi answered firmly. He has always been a man of his word, but he has made too many exceptions for Nie Zheng. This feeling is not good.

"No, I'm not here to beg you to let Bai Yong go. It's only natural for them to pay back their debts. I understand this. I remember Zheng Yue always wanted to have his own production line. Since Bai Yong can't pay back the money, why not use his factory as collateral? Bai Yong's factory has ready-made equipment and workers, and he has cooperated with Zheng Yue for so long, so he knows him inside out..."

"Don't be too smart."

Chong Jianzhi interrupted her.

In fact, he had thought about Nie Zheng's proposal, but since Bai Yong's partner ran away, the factory had long been shut down and the workers had to find other ways to make a living. He had done the math and found that the equipment in the factory alone was not worth much money. This deal did not meet his expectations.

If he took Bai Yong to court, he would not only be able to purchase Bai Yong's factory at the lowest price, but also get all of Bai Yong's private property. For Chong Jianzhi, this deal would be the most cost-effective.

Nie Zheng wanted to say something when her cell phone suddenly vibrated. It was Bai Chaochao calling.

"Hey, Chao Chao, how are you? Why did you return my call so late?"

"Zheng Zheng, this time... I want to talk to Mr. Chong about something. Can you give me his contact information?"

"Looking for President Chong?" She looked at Chong Jianzhi who was looking down at her and thought this was a good opportunity. "He's right next to me."

After saying that, she stuffed the phone directly into Chong Jianzhi's hand.

Chong Jianzhi, who was inexplicably given a cell phone, looked at her with confusion, but the other party spoke loudly into the phone: "Chao Chao, go ahead, he's right next to the phone."

Bai Chaochao, who had been struggling for several days, finally made up his mind.

"Boss Chong."

With a frown on his face, he looked at Nie Zheng. Although he was unhappy, he still agreed.

"What's the matter?"

"Boss Chong, my father has received a summons from the court for 20 million. The lawyer said he will be sentenced to at least five years... We sold the house and raised 5 million, and..." Bai Chaochao took a deep breath, "and my father's savings of 3 million, a total of 8 million. We really can't take out the remaining money. I will pay you back bit by bit. Please let my father go..."

"Save these words for the court." He was about to hang up the phone, but hesitated for two seconds, "The court will decide the sentence at its discretion and will not sentence you that long."

He hung up the phone decisively and did not hear the heart-wrenching cry of Bai Chaozhao's mother on the other end of the phone.

"You told Mr. Chong about the three million? Are you crazy? How are we going to survive without money?"

Bai Chaochao closed his eyes helplessly amid his mother's shrill cries.
