Chapter 821: Chapter 821
The bank card was thrown out, and Zhang Hong was waiting, holding onto the last bit of hope for a miracle to happen.
There was no other choice now; she could only try to see if there really was money in the bank card Xu Qianli gave her.
If there truly is money, it could help her completely resolve her debt problems, and from then on, she would follow Xu Qianli without hesitation. He could do whatever he wanted with her, even having her bear his children wouldn’t be an issue.
Of course, the likelihood of that happening wasn’t great. She didn’t really believe there was so much money in the bank card Xu Qianli gave her.
This choice was just a last resort.
If the card had no money, Zhang Hong only had one option left.
That would be taking desperate measures, going all out against Sun Jiao, using every possible means to kill the woman who pushed her to the brink, then end herself.
Sun Jiao, oh Sun Jiao, you set a trap for my late husband, tricked him so that not only did you swindle away our fortune but also burdened us with over a billion in high-interest loans, annual interest in the tens of millions. You even have designs on my body, wanting me to sleep with men to make money for you.
You’re such a woman, really don’t be too insidious, venomous, and wicked, even a vicious wolf is not as cruel as you!
If you truly push me to the end, I’ll fight with you, kill you first then commit suicide; even in death, I’ll drag you down with me!
Having made up her mind, Zhang Hong quietly pulled open the desk drawer, took out a short knife prepared long ago, and gripped it tightly, ready to act at any moment.
If the card had no money, she’d go all out, disregard everything and charge at Sun Jiao, kill her first!
Zhang Hong had firmly decided to kill, whereas Sun Jiao hadn’t noticed at all; her attention was fully on the bank card Zhang Hong threw over.
Staring at the card, Sun Jiao was completely stunned, dazed.
After a while, she snapped back to reality, suddenly stood up, holding the card with both hands, bowed ninety degrees forward respectfully, hands outstretched.
"Zhang Hong, no, Minister Zhang, I Sun Jiao was blind not to see your true stature, ignorantly made trouble for you. I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I’ll never dare again."
"I don’t want money anymore, take the card back, I’ll even repay all the money I took from you and your husband with interest. Just beg you to spare me, beg you to give me a chance. I beg you, I beg you, please..."
"I’m kowtowing to you, I’m kowtowing to Minister Zhang, begging you to spare me. As long as you spare me, I’ll do anything, even give you everything I own, or let you make me your dog..."
Sun Jiao knelt on the ground with utmost humility, like a dog, continuously kowtowing to Zhang Hong.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Hong was dumbfounded.
What, what’s going on here?
Zhang Hong was more than aware of who Sun Jiao was. On the surface, she was a well-known businesswoman in Hai City, but in reality, she was a top figure of the underworld in Hai City, commanding numerous subordinates, ruthless and bold, daring to undertake any business, make any scheme against anyone.
Not to mention anywhere else, even in officialdom, many had suffered from her, her late husband and herself just being two among them.
Such a figure was just forcing her to sell her body to make money not long ago, almost driving her to death, how did she suddenly change her face, become like this?
Is there something wrong with her mentally?
Could it be some kind of mental illness?
But it doesn’t seem like it, how could a mentally ill person thrive in Hai City, making such a big business in the underworld and lawful paths?
There’s an issue, definitely an issue, something must have happened just now.
Zhang Hong thought carefully for a moment, the problem must lie in that bank card.
It was because of giving Sun Jiao that card that she changed, suddenly became extremely humble, like a dog on the ground kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.
Not only begging, but even willing to repay all the money she had taken before with interest, clearly affected by a great fright.
No, not just fright; from the look of her, it seemed like her life was being threatened.
This was just a small bank card, at most it had some money, how did it scare her like this?
Could it be this bank card isn’t simple, contains some special information?
But no matter how Zhang Hong looked, it appeared to be just a regular bank card.
She had inspected it closely before, the front had a lifelike white peony flower, quite beautiful, but aside from that, there was nothing else.
Other than that, all details were no different from any ordinary bank card.
But why was Sun Jiao, such a top figure, overwhelmed?
Really couldn’t understand what was going on, Zhang Hong said: "Sun Jiao, don’t rush to kowtow and apologize, let me ask you, are you truly willing to clear the debt my husband owes you, and even repay all the money taken from us with interest? You’re not lying, you’re serious? Such a matter should never be joking!"
"How could it be a joke, I’m serious, I’m truly serious. Minister Zhang, I swear on everything, I wouldn’t dare joke now, I wish to slap myself a few times. I must slap myself, I’ll do it right now."
Sun Jiao raised her hand, slapped her face hard, hitting her fairly pretty face making slapping sounds, even bleeding at the mouth, showing how forceful she was.
Watching this, Zhang Hong’s heart jumped with alarm, even more perplexed.
You damn it, what is really happening here, just a bank card, how did it frighten Hai City’s top figure to this extent?
Unable to contain her curiosity, Zhang Hong said: "Let me ask you, do you know the origins of this bank card, do you know what it represents?"
"Yes, yes, I know. A regular person wouldn’t recognize it, but I Sun Jiao was fortunate enough to encounter it, thus I recognize it. This bank card is called the White Peony Card, only given to core members of the Mo Family, the top clan in Wangdong Province. In other words, anyone who possesses this card is undoubtedly linked to the Mo Family!"
"Minister Zhang, the fact that you possess the Bai Family’s White Peony Card indicates that behind you stands the Mo Family. I was blind, failing to see the depths, daring to cause trouble for you. I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong, I’m willing to give you everything I own, be your dog forever, just spare me, allow me a dog’s life."
"As long as you spare me this dog’s life, everything I have, including my life, will be yours. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it."
"Beg you, beg you... Minister Zhang, show mercy, spare me this once..."
