Chapter 1447: Capítulo 1447: Chapter 1448: Extortion

“You! Don’t try to fool me! I’ve lived long enough to eat more salt than you’ve walked roads, you really think I don’t know that demolition compensation can be negotiated!”

“It can be negotiated, 2.2 million and a riverside view apartment, that’s already the best result after negotiation. You can take it or leave it. If it really doesn’t work out, I won’t care about your family, and I’ll still be able to build the community.”

The Old Lady’s eyes flashed, “Don’t fool me into thinking I don’t understand, compensation should be calculated based on the number of people!”

Lu Zhenzhen sneered, “Your family’s chaotic divorces and marriages already constitute fraud. If I sue, it’s a sure win. As for the amount you’ve extorted from me, it’s enough to get you life imprisonment. If you don’t understand the law, you should consult more.”

The Old Lady’s momentum weakened, her mouth moved helplessly, forcing out a sentence, “What about my son-in-law’s life?”

“Easy enough, I have surveillance. He ran into the construction site himself, without a hard hat or any protective measures. He didn’t have to die—it was his decision to remove several supporting steel bars, causing the stone materials above to fall on him and crush him.”

In other words, he brought it upon himself, couldn’t be stopped.

The Old Lady didn’t believe it, “Even so, he died on your construction site! Are you saying you don’t have to compensate at all?”

“I could, if I had a bit of compassion, at most I’d give a consolation fee, but the amount can’t be what you demand. I’ll give whatever I feel like, or not at all. Instead, I can pursue charges against him for deliberate destruction of the construction site, which constitutes a crime. He’s dead, but you the family are still here, I can sue you and drag this out slowly.”

The Old Lady was panicked, her son and daughter-in-law hadn’t told her any of this when they sent her here. She has lived long, but Lu Zhenzhen’s experience far surpasses hers, not to mention her lack of legal knowledge.

Every sentence she heard seemed like an accusation, pulling out several crimes. Her confidence faltered.

Lu Zhenzhen said, “They probably didn’t teach you what to say, only sent you here to demand money. I can’t negotiate with you, better call and ask them, anyway, the rope’s tied, you won’t die anytime soon.”

The Old Lady’s face flushed with shame, whether from anger or embarrassment, she couldn’t tell.

Lu Zhenzhen delivered another harsh blow, “Tell them, just 2.2 million and an apartment, take it or leave it. If you really anger me, I won’t deal with your family at all, and then you won’t get a penny.”

“You can’t…” The Old Lady suddenly stood up, too hastily, forgetting her cramped foot, sitting back down. She didn’t forget to finish her sentence, “You can’t not give us money.”

Before she finished speaking, two red figures suddenly flashed in front of her.

The cries of her great-granddaughter startled the Old Lady into alertness.

As she stood up just now, it seemed she let go, dropping her great-granddaughter!

The firefighter quickly rescued the child, also pulling the Old Lady back up.

Now the Old Lady was unwilling to give in, thinking there was still room for negotiation, she had the crazy idea of going back to the corner just now.

Lu Zhenzhen silently gave her assistant a look.

The assistant circled to the back, taking advantage of the firefighters holding down the Old Lady, quietly untied the rope around her waist.

“Let go of me! Stop pressing me! I’m sick all over, whoever stops me again, I’ll sue them!”

The Old Lady mustered all her strength and broke free from everyone. The firefighters didn’t dare use real force on her, but couldn’t let her crawl back out onto the balcony either. As she moved, they quickly blocked all the exits.

The Old Lady suddenly stopped.

Her face turned pale, both hands frantically searching around her waist.
