The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 878 - 875: Mutual Destruction 6

How could Liu Daqing not hear the obvious officialese?

She remained composed: "Besides a little money, the Wan Family has nothing left, and we are no longer interested in anything else. However, Old Zhou, you know, if my son just ends up like this without clarity, then I wouldn’t even have an heir..."

"..."

"This time, whether you choose to help or not, you must help. I demand to know the whereabouts of the murderer within half a month."

Old Zhou looked troubled: "This..."

Liu Daqing immediately interrupted him: "Besides this, I also require you to have someone protect my son’s safety 24 hours a day. Do not let him encounter any mishap!"

Old Zhou’s face clearly showed a trace of displeasure.

Liu Daqing laughed: "I also feel that my demands are a bit excessive. However, Old Zhou, back in the day, you and Old Wan were as close as brothers. When Old Wan helped you bury your ex-wife, you promised him that you would repay the favor no matter what in the future. Well, today I am taking the liberty to make this request..."

Upon hearing the words "ex-wife," Old Zhou’s expression immediately changed.

But soon he returned to his usual demeanor, pondered for a moment, and replied briskly: "Daqing, since you’ve phrased it this way, refusing would be inhumane. After all, Old Wan and I shared years of brotherhood. Fine, I promise you."

"Then I will thank you on behalf of Old Wan."

"Between our families, there’s no need for formalities."

He was about to refill her tea, but she waved her hand: "It’s getting late, I won’t disturb you any longer."

Old Zhou was very courteous: "I’ll see you out."

"No need, it’s rare for you to have some rest time."

As Liu Daqing reached the door, she turned back still very calmly: "Old Zhou, please take this matter to heart. If I lose my only son, I would have nothing left to hold on to. No matter who harmed him, I will stop at nothing, even if it means mutual destruction."

Mutual destruction!!!

Old Zhou forced a smile: "Daqing, rest assured, I will do my utmost."

He personally saw Liu Daqing out the door, watching until her car disappeared into the distance.

Returning to his study, he exhaled a long breath.

Zhou Ting immediately followed him out; upon hearing that Liu Daqing had arrived, the younger generation didn’t dare show themselves and listened secretly from hiding, already filled with anger. Seeing her father’s somber face, she immediately asked, "Dad, Liu Daqing actually dared to threaten you?"

Old Zhou was also furious beyond measure.

What a brazen Liu Daqing, daring to come straight to their door, under the pretense of a request, but essentially declaring war.

Even Wan Donglin always kept the relationship between the two families hidden, never openly breaking ties even in opposition, but Liu Daqing left no room at all.

"That old woman, what right does she have to threaten us? What bargaining power does the Wan Family have now? The information Wan Donglin held, Rina has already acquired most of it. With Wan Donglin’s death, that information basically gets buried; I refuse to believe Liu Daqing truly dares to disregard the consequences..."

Old Zhou frowned deeply.

Liu Daqing’s words echoed in his ears: mutual destruction.

Others might not know Liu Daqing’s temperament, but he was well aware.

Liu Daqing had attempted suicide several times in her early years, and it was due to her great fortune that she survived the most difficult times, becoming indestructible since. Even on the day of Old Wan’s funeral, she didn’t shed a single tear.

All these years, as a woman, she turned the entire Wan Family around.

This woman is not just making empty threats.

She definitely has some secret weapon in her grasp.
