A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 488 Where Is The Two Million

"Who is lying and cheating others? You'd better be careful of what you say. When did I ever do those

things?" Derek shouted with anger.

"Don't act so innocent. You're not going to fool me. Now, I will give you a chance to purge yourself.

Have you taken money from the Dream Company in the name of the Mu Group?"

"No, I haven't. How is that possible? How can I do such a thing?"

At this moment, Derek was still defending himself. But clearly, Linda wasn't buying a word he was

saying. Linda Xia was a person who would only believe in what she had seen and heard with her own

eyes and ears.

Paul opened Derek's bag from which he took a bank card and handed to Linda. He said, "My Lady,

there was approximately two million in his account until yesterday. Today, the two million has been

transferred."

Apparently, Paul had checked the day-to-day account transactions of Derek's bank card in advance.

"Tell me. To whom have you transferred the two million?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I really don't know. I am innocent. I didn't do anything!"

Derek was perverse to admit it.

He didn't fear Linda Xia at all. What could she do to him? After all, his older sister was Linda's foster

mother. He believed that she would not do anything to him out of consideration for her foster mother,

who cared so much about him. Besides, he only tricked two million from some stranger and kept the

money hidden somewhere. What was so wrong about that?

It was just a piece of cake for Linda Xia to help him pay the money back. She had gotten married to

Young Master Mu. The Mu Group was so immensely wealthy that Charles Mu must have regarded two

million as nothing but a drop of water in the ocean. Two million was merely a small sum of money for a

rich man like him.

"You don't know, huh? Do you think that everything would be okay if you continue to deny what you had

done? Do you know that defrauding two million is enough to be sentenced as a life sentence in prison?

Do you want to die in jail? Okay, let me help you with that. Paul, send him to the Public Security Bureau

and tell the policemen that he has deceived a company of two million. Let the policemen in the Public

Security Bureau 'take care of' him."

"Oh, my dear niece. It's just two million. I was having a hard time back then. I owed someone about two

million in gambling. If I could not pay the money back in time, I would likely be cut into pieces. My

niece, you don't want to see your uncle become a disabled man, do you?" Obviously, Derek was such

a selfish, ignorant person. He was scared of getting imprisoned, yet he dared to defraud a company of

a huge sum of money?

"Just about two million?"

Linda almost lost her temper when she heard Derek's words. Was two million a small amount of

money? For Linda Xia, two million was a lot! Without the properties of the Xia clan and the Mu clan, it

would be hard for Linda to earn two million all by herself. Besides, Linda didn't want to help a man,

whom she despised, pay off his gambling debt using the Xia clan's or the Mu clan's money. Why should

she do that?

She was not doing charity here.

Taking a deep breath, Linda Xia was trying to calm herself down. She was really getting more and more

irritated by Derek Xie by the minute.

But, fortunately, Donna wasn't there. Otherwise, Derek Xie would be begging for mercy from Donna,

instead of Linda.

If he did, Linda would be caught in a dilemma. She was capable of helping Derek pay off the gambling

debt of two million. But she really didn't want to do someone like Derek Xie a favor. In her opinion,

Derek Xie should pay the price for his misbehavior.

However, Linda also wanted to ask Derek a crucial question without her foster mother around.

"Tell me the truth. Whom did you owe the gambling debt of two million to?" Although Derek Xie was

addicted to gambling, he only played mahjong with the wager of ten or twenty. Even if he would keep

losing, his gambling debt could only go up to two thousand at most. But he actually owed someone two

million this time.

Linda Xia thought that he had used this sum of money for some other purposes.

Charles also had asked Paul to check Derek Xie's account. A long time ago, Derek had owed a

gambling debt of 300, 000, and he eventually got the money from Linda when Donna Xie was ill in the

hospital and Linda went to visit her that day. At first, Linda was reluctant to give him the money, but at

last, Charles Mu helped him pay off the debt. Linda thought that that was the end of the story, but out of

her expectations, Derek still buried himself in gambling, which made him drown in debt. And this time,

he had owed about two million. To pay off that big amount of money, he had no choice but to commit

fraud.

It should be noted that Linda was unwilling to give him even just a dime in the first place.

Anyway, the result of Charles Mu's investigation was that Derek had been gambling in an illegal private

casino owned by Vincent Zhou.

Now, Derek owed them again, and it might had something to do with Vincent Zhou. Linda reckoned that

they could take advantage of this to find out where Vincent Zhou was hiding. She and Charles Mu had

been looking for Vincent Zhou for a long time, but they just couldn't find him. It seemed that the man

named Vincent Zhou had totally disappeared from the world.

"Oh, how poor you are. It's a pity that you won't have any chance to see Lily Xie ever again. This time,

you're going to be sentenced to death. Do you know that committing a crime of fraud of two million

would bring you serious penalties? What do you prefer?. Do you want to get electrocuted or shot by a

gun? However, considering that you are my mother's younger brother, I will ask Charles to negotiate

with the police for you. He will ask the bureau if we can claim your body back."

It was an intentional intimidation by Linda Xia. Derek Xie was ignorant of the law, so he didn't know

what sentence committing a fraud would get.

Although Derek Xie didn't commit murder or arson, it was inevitable for him to get imprisoned for at

least several years.

Derek Xie almost pissed his pants when he heard Linda's words. With his hands tied up, he had trouble

moving, so he crawled to Linda on his knees to beg, "My little niece, help me, please! I don't want to be

executed just because of two million. I was extremely terrified at that time. Those people said that they

would chop off my hands and feet and feed them to the dogs unless I could pay off the debt. I really

had no choice, so I thought of committing fraud. I also thought that you would be able to help me deal

with it."

"Well, you can avoid death. I will ask you a few questions, and you will answer them honestly, " Linda

Xia said.

"What questions? Do you mean that as long as I answer you with honesty, you will save me? I don't

want to be sentenced to death, nor go to jail." Derek Xie was getting closer to Linda Xia. But when he

was about to grab Linda's trousers, Bun directly kicked him away. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Speak in a polite manner, and stay away from Lady Linda, " Bun screamed at him.

Bun stomped on Derek Xie's shoulder which made him wince in pain.

"I am talking with my little niece. It's none of your business! How dare you kick me!" Derek Xie almost

went mad. The kick was too painful for him to endure.

Bun had a bad impression on Derek Xie. She retorted at once, "I have shown enough respect for you.

Otherwise, I would've already kicked your face and left you a broken nose. Just stay where you are.

Lady Linda can hear what you are saying."

As for Bun's reactions, Linda Xia didn't care about it because she didn't like Derek at all. Bun's kicking

pleased her somehow.

Linda even thought that it would be better if Bun had really kicked Derek on the face.

"Okay, answer my questions. After you met with Vincent Zhou for the first time, have you been in touch

with him? Have you seen him somewhere else lately?"
