Chapter 465: Only when you die will it be the end of it

At this moment, a trace of unease rose in the bottom of Qu Caifeng's heart.

However, she still braced herself, frowned, and said, "Little Factory Director Lu, it seems we two have no connection, right? I didn't even let you in, yet you barged in. What do you want to do?"

Lu Qiao did not pay her any mind; instead, she stepped forward and helped the little girl, who was still kneeling on the ground, to her feet.

At this moment, the little girl's mind was a complete blank. She had never dared to let others know about her being beaten, and even less so her grandparents, otherwise her mother would pinch her thighs hard at night, and no matter how much it hurt, she wasn't allowed to cry.

Now that Little Factory Director Lu had actually seen it, what should she do?

The little girl also recognized Lu Qiao and knew that everyone called her Little Factory Director Lu, and also knew she was a factory director.

But she didn't know anything else.

At this moment, her whole body was trembling.

Lu Qiao did not speak of the matter of beating the child.

Nowadays, every household had many children, and even in the city, they were all raised loosely; parents beating their children was simply not an issue.

Moreover, Qu Caifeng beating the child, at the current stage, was just beating; it didn't yet count as abuse.

If it were abuse, it would require a forensic injury assessment.

Lu Qiao said in a gentle voice, "Little girl, take your younger brother to your room and close the door tight. I have some things to discuss with your mother; it's not suitable for you to listen."

Qu Caifeng couldn't hold back anymore and shrieked, "Lu Qiao, what do you mean by this? This is my home, my home! You run to my house and point fingers; do you think this is still the Neighborhood Office or the Food Factory?

No, this is my home!

Get this straight, you get out for me now; you are not welcome here!"

Lu Qiao ignored her, directly picked up the two panicked children, and sent them into one of the bedrooms, closing the door tight.

Then, she grabbed Qu Caifeng, dragged her directly into another room, and subsequently, with a 'Bang!', closed the room door.

Qu Caifeng's house was not large, but it was quite spacious for three people to live in.

Compared to being squeezed into a twenty-something square meter house with over a dozen people, it was truly much better.

Lu Qiao blocked the doorway, looked at Qu Caifeng, who was suspicious and about to shout out loud, and asked, "Qu Caifeng, where is that agreement you helped Cheng Wen give birth to?"

Qu Caifeng's complexion changed, and she said, "What nonsense are you spouting? I don't understand. You hurry up and leave, otherwise, I'll kick you out, and it won't look good for anyone's face."

Lu Qiao sighed: "You are truly stupid. What use could this agreement have? Old Mrs. Cheng jumped into an ice hole; she is now in the hospital. It was hard enough to rescue her, but her body is no longer holding up. She wants to sue you for extortion and blackmail, and also wants you to pay five hundred yuan in medical expenses. You think about it carefully; compared to losing one's life, what is face worth? You should have the most experience with this point."

Qu Caifeng was stunned.

She hadn't expected that old woman to actually not want to live anymore.

"You are nothing more than thinking that the Cheng family loves face and can be manipulated by you for a lifetime, which is why you are so fearless. In a certain sense, what you think is not entirely wrong. If a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him; you definitely believe in this principle. Therefore, you used the so-called agreement to force the old lady into a dead end. She just told me that she died once, and after being rescued, she realized one thing: that her dying is not the end of it; only when you die will it be the end of it."

This time, Qu Caifeng's complexion finally changed.

Her eyes widened, she looked at Lu Qiao unkindly, and gritted her teeth, saying: "What does this have to do with you? What do you want to do?"

Lu Qiao spread her hands: "What can I do? I can participate in mediating the conflict between you. After all, I am still a mediator for the Neighborhood Office. However, if you both refuse mediation, I have no way either; I can only say it's a pity."

After a pause, Lu Qiao asked: "So, do you accept my mediation now?"

Qu Caifeng remembered the rumors about Lu Qiao and couldn't help but ask: "If I don't accept mediation, then what will happen?"

Lu Qiao said nonchalantly: "If you don't accept, then it's a private settlement. The Neighborhood Office won't participate, and whatever the consequences, you will have to bear them yourself. By the way, write an agreement; I've discovered this thing is quite useful."

"What if I don't write it?"

"If you don't write it, then I will participate."

"You want to... how will you do it?"

"Show me that so-called agreement, or are you prepared to go to the Security Section and have everyone look at it together?"

Qu Caifeng didn't trust Lu Qiao, looked at her vigilantly, and even stepped back.

Lu Qiao glanced at her lower abdomen and said: "Actually, I don't really want to see it either. You hid the thing in the pocket of your underwear, right?"

Qu Caifeng's face changed drastically, and she instinctively covered the place where she put the note.

This place was the safest.

She looked at Lu Qiao; everyone said she was very formidable, but why didn't she believe it? She wasn't like those people; she hadn't killed anyone, hadn't set any fires, and hadn't engaged in high-level sabotage activities, so she really wasn't afraid.

Besides, having reached this point, she couldn't admit defeat, and she still had a way out. In the end, if she didn't admit to anything, what could they do to her?

"What kind of talk is that? I don't understand any of it. Lu Qiao, don't rely on being a factory director to do whatever you want. Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you."

Lu Qiao narrowed her eyes; how to put it, this Qu Caifeng seemed quite difficult to deal with.

She could also be considered quite brainy.

She had Old Mrs. Cheng held in the palm of her hand.

But in reality, she was just a psychologically twisted idiot.

Lu Qiao recalled the things about the Qu family that Little Cangcang and the others had just found out.

First, she asked curiously: "You extorted three hundred yuan from Mother Cheng, and now that you see Lin Xiaomin has manuscript fees, you want to get eight hundred yuan for your younger brother's wedding. Is that it?"

Qu Caifeng's complexion changed again and again. Of course, she wouldn't admit to extortion, and impatiently said to Lu Qiao: "You are always spouting nonsense. You say I extorted Mother Cheng; where is the evidence? You bring out the evidence. Who saw it? It can't be that whatever Old Mrs. Cheng says is true, right? Then if I say Cheng Wen laid hands on me, do you believe it? If I tell others that you, Lu Qiao, abused your power for personal gain and broke into my room wanting to snatch my things, and not only snatched my things but also beat my daughter, is that okay? And also, if I report to the leaders that you, Lu Qiao, are corrupt and taking bribes and not doing good things, is that also okay?"

Lu Qiao remained silent.

Qu Caifeng became even more smug and rampant and was about to continue speaking when Lu Qiao cut her off and said seriously: "I just want to tell you one thing now. It's true your younger brother is getting married, it's true the other party wants three hundred yuan in bride price, and it's true your future sister-in-law is capable and pretty. However, the other party has an older brother, over forty years old, who is an old bachelor, and also an idiot who loves to beat people whenever he has an episode. You are so selfish; don't you feel that your future sister-in-law having such a maternal family is a burden?"

After saying this, Lu Qiao turned and left.

For the sake of being a woman herself, she had said what she could.

She originally didn't want to say it, but just now Little Cangcang and Mouse Da told her that the idiot was not only an idiot but also very violent. He had two younger sisters; the older sister had already been married off for him, but unfortunately, she was beaten to death by the idiot on their wedding night.

Should they arrest the idiot?

The idiot's family would be only too happy.

In the end, they paid ten yuan, and that was the end of it. ===== CHAPTER 466 =====
