Qiao's mother didn't want to die.
She didn't know if it was Jin'an's words or Jin'an himself that scared her, but her face turned pale in an instant.
"I... I can't die, my son Ah De... Ah De is still..."
Qiao's mother's tears, like beads broken off a string, fell down pitter-patter.
She choked up, unable to utter a single word.
Clutching her chest, she tried hard to suppress the feeling of pain.
The door closed, leaving only Jin'an and Qiao's mother in the room.
He walked slowly toward the window and looked out, but there was no scenery to be seen.
"You know, I have a way to keep your whole family alive."
His gaze stayed on the window, between his cold lips, hope sprang for Qiao's mother.
He was the richest man in Rong City.
With just one word from him, the Qiao family could be put to death or allowed to live.
Although Qiao's mother was not worldly-wise, she believed that Jin'an had that ability.
"What do I need to do for you to agree to help me and my son?"
