Rebirth To A Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1587 - Fighting Back

Chapter 1587: Fighting Back

A person like this who was childless had willed everything to Qiao Nan before his death.

What she was spending was not Qiao Nan’s hard-earned money. Whatever Qiao Nan gave her was that dead old man’s money. Even so, Qiao Nan refused. She was so stingy!

“Even if you had known earlier, you wouldn’t have been able to do anything.”

Qiao Zijin did not believe it and grabbed onto the phone in her hand ever tighter. “How would you know I can’t do it when I haven’t even tried? Even if I can’t, there will definitely be someone who can. Those people you lent me aren’t good-for-nothings. Aren’t they good at writing? As long as you give them a photo, they will be able to come up with a great story. Thinking about it now, the articles that they come up with should be even more exciting and interesting than those that they have written in the past. Don’t you think so? You and I are both clear about what kind of status Qiao Nan’s father-in-law holds. If we bring the Zhai family into the picture, this piece of news will be explosive and will attract even more attention so that Qiao Nan will have no choice but to bow to public pressure and beg me for mercy.”

Up until now, Qiao Zijin still had no idea who was silently helping her. After all, they had always communicated with each other through phone calls. She had already asked to meet this person face-to-face several times, but every time, the other party would refuse. Even though Qiao Zijin expressed that she was willing to hand over a portion of whatever she gained from Qiao Nan through this once this plan was successful, the other party was adamant about not meeting her.

Qiao Zijin could not understand that. Were there really people who thought that they had too much money? How could the other party not be moved in the face of such a huge benefit? Even if she stood to gain from this, Qiao Zijin felt that there was something off about this.

“Hehe.” The voice on the other end of the call sneered. “Invisibility is frightening. It’s good to have brains. You should have some yourself. You know well what kind of status that Zhai guy has and you still have such a naive thought? With the Zhai family’s contributions to the country, unless the men in the Zhai family really betray the party or the country, or commit treason, there’s no way the country will give a hoot about these small family disputes even if you air them publicly. Do you really want to seek your own death by singling out one of the country’s chief and a former chief?”

Whoever dared to use Qiao Nan’s matter to drag Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng down was plain foolish.

In China, things can be eaten carelessly, but words cannot be spoken carelessly. Even though citizens had the right to the freedom of speech, every adult and legal citizen had to take responsibility for whatever they said. If something went wrong and she accidentally maligned a leader of the country, she could be charged and would be sent to jail for the rest of her life.

“I-is it that serious?” Death? Qiao Zijin’s voice faltered. “Are you deliberately trying to scare me? I didn’t kill anyone, and neither did I rob or blackmail anyone.” At the very most, she had said some things about them. Was it really that serious?

“It is that serious.” If Qiao Zijin had not been the one to direct this entire show, Peng Yu would not even bother with this fool that was Qiao Zijin. No wonder they were sisters. Qiao Nan had already become the minister of foreign affairs, but Qiao Zijin could only reach her hand out to ask for money. Qiao Zijin’s fatal error was playing the game too early. Was that not a waste of his painstaking efforts to arrange everything and all the money he had thrown in?

“You can make a little trouble at the very most because you are her elder sister. But in the Zhai family, you can’t afford to offend Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng in your entire life. Don’t create trouble for yourself. If you get on the wrong side of the men of the Zhai family, I’ll have to apologize because even I won’t be able to help you.” So, be smart.

Qiao Zijin was so frightened that her throat was hoa.r.s.e. “Oh… You won’t leave me in the lurch, right? I’ve done everything because of Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan is the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law, so offending Qiao Nan is no different from offending the Zhai family. Are you here to help me or to harm me?” She did not know that offending the Zhai family would bring about such dire consequences.

They lived in a civil society. She had not committed any crimes. Why would the Zhai family be so harsh toward her and force her toward death?

“…” Peng Yu rolled his eyes rapidly. Had Qiao Zijin left her IQ in her mother’s stomach when she was born? Had she not heard what he said? Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng were talents that the state viewed highly. As chiefs, this pair of father and son held superior positions within the country. They were core leaders of the nation. If it was really true, it would be quite difficult to handle it. Not to mention how Qiao Zijin talked about Qiao Nan being the person she was targeting.

What Qiao Nan did at most was being unfilial and immoral, but it was nothing that was restricted by the law. She could only use discussion and public opinions to suppress Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan had not broken the law, and much less Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng.

Spilling dirt on national leaders and ruining their images in the people’s minds was undermining the status of the nation’s leaders. It was a great crime that sought to destabilize the country!

Qiao Zijin was truly lion-hearted and dauntless to be digging out dirt on these important figures. If it were him, he would never do that. Going anonymous gave a person courage, but it did not mean that he would be innocent no matter what he did.

“If you continue speaking like this, I think that there’s no need for us to continue working with each other. You have to remember that you have nothing to do with Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng. They are important military figures. Do you think that it’s not serious to falsely accuse these important military figures?”

“I…” Qiao Zijin’s face paled and beads of cold sweat started forming on her forehead. “But I’m their relative! Zhai Sheng has seen me before and he even addressed me as his elder sister! I’m his sister-in-law!”

“You’re only the Zhai family’s relative and Zhai Sheng’s sister-in-law if they acknowledge you. But the question is do they actually acknowledge you as a relative? Do you think you can just call yourself their relative because you want to? If it was that simple, did you still have to do all these things? Don’t say such silly things. Your behavior will just make me think that I’m stupid for helping you!”

Peng Yu took a deep breath. Perhaps, working with Qiao Zijin was the worst decision he had ever made. With such a collaborator, he was afraid that Qiao Zijin would not even succeed in bringing Qiao Nan down. Worse still, he might even get so angry at Qiao Zijin that he might get sent to the hospital.

If one did not have a strong physique, it was best not to interact with Qiao Zijin at all. Otherwise, one was sure to be sent to the hospital after talking to her.

“Then, what shall I do?” The dazed Qiao Zijin asked another stupid question.

“There’s nothing much to do. You haven’t dragged the Zhai family in anyway. Just attack Qiao Nan alone. Based on your kins.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan, and as long as you don’t implicate anyone else, especially the Zhai family, you can rest a.s.sured. Whatever I said earlier won’t happen to you if you follow what I say.”
