Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Agreed to it
Seeing her ask such a question, the person in front of her felt utterly speechless.
Weren’t the answers already laid out in front of her? Why does she still need to ask him? Wasn’t she the clearest about it?
Now that things had developed to such a point, her daughter-in-law and grandson had abandoned her, surely because of the things she had done.
If others hadn’t spoken so harshly, how could they have possibly driven her out to this place?
Lao Luo had indeed conducted an investigation prior to this and found that this old woman had always been quite sharp-tongued and mean-spirited.
Moreover, she wasn’t very nice to her daughter-in-law either.
Especially after the recent events, everyone’s opinion of her had plummeted.
Naturally, no one wanted to see her end up like a rat crossing the street.
Mainly because everything that had transpired forced him to make this choice, he wouldn’t have found such an old woman for this task.
But now, seeing the old woman’s hesitation, he knew he had to play his trump card.
So he quickly pocketed the money and spoke up.
"If you’re reluctant, then I’ll find someone else, since he has more than one enemy."
As he was taking the money, the old woman immediately stepped forward, clutching the bills tightly in her arms.
"What are you talking about? I’m just considering it; I haven’t refused at all. Don’t talk nonsense," she snapped.
Seeing the old woman change her tune so quickly after he took the money genuinely made Lao Luo laugh.
But as long as the method worked, that was all that mattered.
"So what exactly are you thinking? My time is very precious, and I don’t want to waste it anymore. If you’re really not up for it, then I must find someone else,"
"Because his enemies are not just one or two, I’ve investigated many people."
And when the old woman heard he might choose someone else,
she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.
Although the task was indeed dangerous,
without danger, there might not be so much money involved.
Now that such an opportunity had come, if she could seize it well, who knows how much money she could make.
Therefore, at this moment, she couldn’t possibly give up.
"Young man, don’t be so impatient. I’ve agreed, haven’t I? Alright, alright, tell me exactly what to do, and I’ll surely follow your instructions to the letter," she said.
Seeing the old woman finally agree, the heavy burden on Lao Luo’s heart finally fell back into place at that moment.
It seemed everything was developing as he had planned; all he had to do was tell her what to do next.
"It seems you are a wise person, so in that case, I’ll give you twice as much money," he said.
He quickly pulled out another stack of cash.
And placed it right in front of the old woman.
Upon seeing this, her eyes gleamed with excitement.
After all, she did love money.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to Li Yanling’s previous target to make a fuss over some money.
If she hadn’t done that,
Li Yanling might not have had any story with Liu Zheng, and she could have remarried that man long ago.
Soon, Lao Luo began earnestly telling the old woman exactly what to do.
And how could the old woman not know what to do after hearing his words?
Having received so much money, she indeed should ensure the job was well done, so she listened very attentively and carefully, nearly committing every detail to memory.
After Lao Luo finished speaking, she then asked.
"How’s it going? Do you understand what you should do?"
The old woman in front replied with a serious nod immediately.
"Rest assured, I know what to do; you don’t have to worry about it."
"It had better be so. I will not allow any problems in the process, and if any arise, I’ll deduct your payment."
"Don’t worry, I’m quite generous in this regard. My family isn’t short on money, and if you do a good job, I’ll definitely reward you with more. But if you don’t, don’t blame me for being unkind to you."
"I’ll have some people come to help you, and there may be some extras who are actors arranged by me as well. Make sure you do your part well too."
The old woman nodded gravely.
It was clear that this person must have hated Liu Zheng to the extreme; otherwise, they wouldn’t have come all this way and offered so much money to have such a thing done.
But it just so happened that she was indeed in need of money.
Plus, she really wanted to get revenge during this period.
For her, it was truly a situation with two wins in one move.
So no matter what, she was definitely going to do everything well.
Soon, Lao Luo left the place.
Everything had been instructed, so he didn’t want to waste any more time lingering here.
He had to hurry and plan for other things now.
That included meticulously teaching the actors exactly what to do.
And the old woman immediately tucked away the money with a grin.
At this moment, Liu Zheng was completely unaware of the kind of situation he was about to face.
He was diligently researching his medicinal pills,
hoping to develop some with even more special effects,
with a wider range of uses.
But something odd caught his attention.
Lately, the number of patients in his clinic seemed to be dwindling,
declining to an unusual degree.
But after some thought,
if everyone’s health had improved, then it might be normal for there to be fewer illnesses.
So there was no need for him to worry so much.
Besides, he didn’t really want everyone to fall sick just so he could make money off them.
If he truly needed money, he could easily sell the pills he had made.
He would be able to make a tidy sum.
But he had not done so, which showed he really had less desire in that regard.
And at that moment,
Liu Jiaxin was getting reports from her subordinates about recent events.
Who would have thought, while discussing, she would hear something about Liu Zheng?
It was the henchman who had been with Brother Chen who said it,
"What! Say that again?"
Liu Jiaxin had been starting to doze off,
but hearing the familiar name, she immediately snapped back to reality from her own world.
