Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 182 You Know What I Want

Qin Zhaoqing looked at Xia Zhigang with her clear eyes: "What do you want from me? Say it again here."

"Give me 500,000." Xia Zhigang raised his chin. "Or I'll expose your affair!"

What's going on between us?

"You raped my daughter, and you think paying her rent for a few months will make it all over? This isn't over!" Xia Zhigang said defiantly. "I'll go to your school, put up banners, and call reporters! You have no shame, and I don't believe your parents don't. And your company's stock price will plummet!"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyes: "Xia Yaoyao, what do you have to say? What do I have to do with you?"

Xia Yaoyao clutched her clothes, remaining silent.

Xia Zhigang scoffed, "What else do you expect her to say? She wants money too. If it weren't for her, how would I have found your school!"

"dad!"

"You're heavily pregnant and you really expect her to take you in? You should have just given me her phone number in the first place. Making me go looking for her is pointless."

Xia Yaoyao looked at Xia Zhigang with eyes full of disappointment, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Qin Zhao smiled and pointed at Xia Yaoyao: "So, you're an accomplice."

Xia Yaoyao didn't even look at her: "This amount of money shouldn't be a big deal for you, right?"

Qin Zhao: "Xia Yaoyao, do you know what the consequences of this will be?"

Xia Zhigang: "The consequence is that you pay and we are comfortable. Otherwise, it's a lose-lose situation."

Xia Yaoyao: "I'm sorry."

"No, I won't accept that." Qin Zhao raised an eyebrow. "Don't you want money? Send me your bank account number."

Qin Zhao made a couple of adjustments to his phone, and the notification that the money had been deposited into his account arrived.

"It's so much better to deal with rich people like you. You can make half a lifetime's worth of money in one go." Xia Zhigang smiled greedily, then saw the screen freeze again and angrily said, "How come it's only 6000!"

Qin Zhao chuckled: "That's enough, enough for you to serve 8 years."

The three men's expressions changed. Xia Zhigang exclaimed, "What do you mean?!"

"Extortion of a substantial amount of money carries a base sentence of 10 years or more in prison. You got the money, the crime is done, you idiot!"

Xia Yaoyao's face turned pale. Her mother pulled Xia Zhigang, asking, "What does she mean? Are you going in?"

Xia Zhigang took a moment to react, then picked up a chair to smash it at her: "You dare to scheme against me!"

Qin Zhao looked at him coldly: "Try touching me!"

She leaned against the balcony window, her face hidden in the shadows, her figure thin, her eyes terrifyingly cold.

Xia Zhigang was terrified. His dignity as the head of the family made his face turn red, and he held the chair, refusing to put it down: "I'm scared to death!"

"Let's see if I can get you locked up for the rest of your life!"

"Her dad, put it down, put it down!" Xia Yaoyao's mother was taken aback by Qin Zhao's resolute attitude. Xia Zhigang also stepped in to back down.

He was like a pig about to be slaughtered: "Who are you trying to fool! I took 6000 from you! I'll get eight years in prison! Is there no law anymore! You dare sue me? I'll sue you for rape!"

"Defamation is a more serious offense."

The sound of sirens grew louder as police cars pulled up downstairs.

The three of them were completely panicked.

Xia Yaoyao looked at the unfamiliar boy in front of her: "Jiang Ye, what are you doing here..."

Qin Zhao lifted his eyelids slightly: "Did I ever say that I'm easy to manipulate?"

Police quickly surrounded the apartment and took the group to the police station.

With conclusive evidence, extortion will be prosecuted.

Hearing that it really meant criminal punishment and that he had to go in, Xia Zhigang panicked: "She framed me! She did it willingly! I only took 6!" "Quiet!" the policeman shouted, "A crime is a crime! Now you're scared! You're even threatening her."

"Is it so easy to take the money of the rich?!"

“The handling of these cases varies greatly. It’s best to return the stolen goods as soon as possible, try to win the victim’s forgiveness, and then hire a lawyer to defend the victim properly.”

“What lawyer?” Xia Yaoyao’s mother cried anxiously. “Comrade, we were just trying to scare her, we didn’t mean to actually take her money.”

She clasped her hands together and prayed, "Can we return the money to her and let it go? We were just momentarily blinded by greed."

"You think you can just dismiss a criminal offense like that?" The policeman frowned. "If only you had known this would happen. You should try to get a settlement. The evidence is overwhelming, and the other party can hire top lawyers. A 10-year sentence is possible."

Xia Zhigang slumped into a chair, muttering, "How could that be?"

“I told you not to go astray! Not to go astray! But you wouldn’t listen! If you really go in, what will happen to the four of us?”

Xia Zhigang remained silent for a while before roaring, "Didn't you get all excited and start planning to buy a house when you first heard about this money?!"

The two started arguing again.

It's very noisy.

Xia Yaoyao walked towards her, her face pale: "Jiang Ye."

"People have to pay the price for their actions." Qin Zhao raised his eyelids slightly. "Isn't that right?"

Her eyes were light, yet held a damp, dark quality.

Xia Yaoyao suddenly realized that she seemed to have never really tried to understand her.

Jiang Ye had always been harmless, bullied, powerless, and soft-hearted, but now her eyes held a dormant, yet outwardly revealed, calm ruthlessness.

After Xia Zhigang and the others finished arguing, they ran to Qin Zhao and cried, begging for forgiveness.

After failing to achieve their goal, they resorted to threats!
"Then we'll sue you for rape!"

Qin Zhao chuckled, even showing disdain.

Xia Yaoyao shouted, "Enough!"

"You brat! Now that things are going wrong, you're on the same side as outsiders! I've raised you for nothing!"

Xia Yaoyao's heart was broken again and again, and she didn't even want to care about him anymore.

Qin Zhao: "It'll be easier for you if he goes in."

"Oh my god, this is outrageous! A daughter colluded with outsiders to send her own father to prison..."

Another chaotic scene ensued.

When Lin Shi arrived, Xia Yaoyao's mother was pleading, "Jiang Ye, remember how good we were to you. Back then, you were so hungry you couldn't afford food, you were as thin as a bamboo pole. It was our Yaoyao who brought you buns from home. You used to pick up trash every day, who wouldn't avoid you?"

Our Yaoyao didn't mind at all; she shared half of her steamed bun with you. When your dad and those thugs beat you up and left you with a black eye and swollen face, it was Yaoyao who secretly took her dad's liniment to treat it for you.

You can't forget her good qualities! We were just momentarily blinded by greed, and we didn't cause you any harm. We were wrong, we all know we were wrong! Please forgive your uncle for the sake of that. We were really wrong, we didn't know it was illegal!

"Yaoyao, Jiang Ye knows how good you are, go and beg Jiang Ye! You must beg her!"

Xia Yaoyao felt helpless and guilty, unable to speak up. She slowly walked to Qin Zhao's side, took her hand, and pleaded, "Jiang Ye, can you reconcile?"

"You mean with you?" Qin Zhao calmly withdrew his hand, his tone casual, as if discussing the weather.

Xia Yaoyao's face turned pale.

Qin Zhao lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "You know what I want."
