Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Li Xiaofeng continued, "Secondly, I want them to write a confession by hand, explaining the whole story in detail, including revealing Cao Jinpeng, the mastermind behind it all!"

"what!"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Do you think money is really that easy to earn? Besides, let me tell you, I don't necessarily need their testimonies to implicate Cao Jinpeng. It's just that with Brother Long's confession, the evidence is more substantial!"

"If you don't believe me, I have a recording here. Listen to it!"

After listening to the recording, Xia Anna turned pale.

Li Xiaofeng sneered, "The reason I was able to defeat Ah Long and the others is because I was prepared. What, do you still think their confessions are important to me?"

"But......."

"What's the big deal? Even if they admit it, it's just a fight at most, it hasn't caused me any real consequences, at most they'll just get detained!"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that if we betray the Cao family, we won't be able to survive in Shanghai!"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "So what if you can't make it here? What's the big deal? You two have been here for so many years and you've got nothing to show for it, plus you're drowning in debt!"

In my opinion, it would be much better to go back to your hometown and live a stable life. It's much better than messing around in Shanghai. The laws are getting more and more comprehensive, and the public security is getting better and better. If you keep going like this, you might end up working as a sewing machine in the future!

Xia Anna hardened her heart and gritted her teeth, saying, "Ten thousand yuan. I don't want more. Just give us ten thousand yuan. We'll use part of it to treat our injuries, and the rest as capital to start a small business when we get home."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "Actually, you're not worth that much money at all. However, this amount of money is nothing to me. Seeing that you've come to your senses and turned back from your ways is a good deed for me!"

"Really? Thank you!"

"You talk to Brother Long and the others first. If they agree, I'll go to the hospital and watch them write it for me in person. Don't try anything funny. Once it's written, I'll give you cash directly!"

"Can I make one small, extra request?"

"What's the request? Tell me!"

"Ah Long and the others are still in the hospital and it's not easy for them to be discharged yet. Could you wait half a month before revealing this? Please, we need some time to run away!"

"I'll try my best. Actually, although the medical conditions in Shanghai are good, the cost is too high. If I can still move, it's cheaper to go back to my hometown for treatment. Treating fractures isn't a high-tech thing; it mainly depends on recuperation!"

The reason Li Xiaofeng was willing to take out this money is, as he said before, that problems that can be solved with money are not really problems. Be generous and resolve things as quickly as possible so that your opponents will not have any opportunity to take advantage of you.

Moreover, the conditions for legitimate self-defense in current legal cases are very stringent. Although it can drag on for a long time, it may not necessarily lead to victory in the end.

In addition, driving away Brother Long and his gang effectively cut off Cao Jinpeng's hands and feet, preventing him from resorting to underhanded tactics for the time being.

With his own troubles resolved, the rest was entirely Cao Jinpeng's problem, giving Li Xiaofeng complete control of the situation.

Li Xiaofeng is a completely different person now. He owns 100 million yuan worth of real estate, and with the annual increase in property prices, he can earn more than 10 million yuan a year.

Ten thousand yuan is nothing!

For Li Xiaofeng right now, the most important things are to control Cao Jinpeng and win over Jiang Xueying.

A few days later, Jiang Chengye came to the school and found Li Xiaofeng again.

"I've spoken with the Cao family, and they don't want to mess around with a young man like you. So, tell me, how much money do you want?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Brother Ye, you underestimate me. Do you think I'm short of money? Didn't I tell you before that I just want to live a peaceful and comfortable life?"

"Stop pretending. You only pursued my sister for her money!"

"Hey, Brother Ye, you're wrong. Actually, it was your sister who pursued me. She was the one who took the initiative to ask me to date her, and I just agreed!"

Do you think I'd believe that?

"Believe it or not, if you don't believe me, you can go ask your sister!"

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Just tell me, give me all the voice recorders you copied, and how much do you want?"

Li Xiaofeng seemed to understand something and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, do you really treat me like a child? I recorded Cao Jinpeng's voice, and you're planning to record mine too, and then sue me for extortion?"

Jiang Chengye remained expressionless and said in a calm tone, "I don't have time for that!"

Li Xiaofeng gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Ye, your self-cultivation skills are truly top-notch, and your facial expression management is really on point!"

However, for Xueying's sake, I'll teach you a lesson today: true facial expression management is about natural expression, not misleading others' judgments. Keeping a straight face won't truly hide your emotions!

Jiang Chengye remained silent, his face still expressionless.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "See? Although your expression remains calm, your words and expression don't match, making it easy for people to tell that you've admitted it!"

"I did not acquiesce, and our Jiang family has no need for such petty tricks!"

"Come on, stop pretending in front of me. Big families may not use underhanded tactics often, but that doesn't mean they don't. I have no interest in talking to you about these petty squabbles. I just want to tell you that you really underestimate me!"

"Oh, what do you mean by underestimating you?"

“I want to make money, and I really don’t need those crooked and shady methods! I don’t need the Cao family’s charity, and I certainly won’t beg for handouts at your Jiang family’s doorstep.”

"Then why are you with my sister?"

Seeing that the other party insisted that Li Xiaofeng was only with Jiang Xueying for the Jiang family's wealth, Li Xiaofeng shrugged and said to Jiang Chengye with an incredulous look, "Because your sister has big breasts, long legs, and a perky butt!"

Jiang Chengye was speechless.

"What, as the older brother, haven't you noticed your sister's good qualities? She was voted the school beauty in our year! Is that so hard for you to understand?"

Jiang Chengye frowned slightly and said in a scrutinizing tone, "As far as I know, a large part of the money you earned was earned by my sister. How do you explain that?"

Li Xiaofeng looked indifferent and shrugged, "No explanation needed. What's there to explain? It's a business relationship where you get a commission for referring clients."

Several of my roommates have taken commissions from me. I originally wanted to give the commissions to your sister, but she refused. Later, she said she'd keep them with me for now. It's that simple!
