"Forced by someone?"
"Then tell me, who could force someone like you, someone worth billions and with the backing of City Secretary Zou Ming, your cousin?"
Xu Qianli coldly stared at Zhang Jian; he wanted to see who was pulling the strings.
Zhang Jian sheepishly said, "I can't say, if I did, he would kill me."
At this critical moment, he still dared to be stubborn. Xu Qianli said, "If you don't speak, I won't mind killing you right now! The person instructing you, it couldn't possibly be Zou Ming, could it?"
"It's not my cousin, it's my cousin's wife."
Zhang Jian finally loosened his tongue, revealing that he was instructed by his cousin's wife, Zou Ming's spouse.
"Your cousin's wife?"
The image of a woman appeared in Xu Qianli's mind.
City Secretary Zou Ming's wife, Jiang Yufei—I've met her twice before. That woman, despite being in her forties, maintains herself impeccably, radiating glamour from every pore; truly a top-notch mature woman.
