Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 877 I don't admit it, what can you do about it!

It took Dai Anchen a while to find his voice. He turned to Chu Xin and whispered, "Five thousand? You probably want him to be finished. The bureau definitely won't approve that kind of money."

"It's not about how much money you have, it's about whether you're sincere. Of course, it doesn't matter if you're not sincere, as long as you're willing to spend the money." Chu Xin's gaze slowly fell on Old Gu's stiff face, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

"Besides, just because your department is reluctant to spend money doesn't mean he can't afford it himself."

Back when she first arrived in this world, she extorted three thousand yuan from Zhao Bin's mother as compensation, and didn't she hand it over even though it hurt her heart?

The current situation in China is indeed difficult for the general public, but for some people, it's simply a matter of whether they are willing to give up something or not.

Dai Anchen understood the meaning behind Chu Xin's words in a moment, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. "...Maybe. If you can really pry up five thousand yuan, then it means that Lao Gu...sigh, the environment can always change people's hearts. He wasn't like this before, but I don't know when he started to change."

Perhaps this time, it's a chance given to him by fate.

Chu Xin smiled and said, "Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, or a person who can't be greedy enough to eat the moon. How can someone who has already tasted the sweetness easily repent?"

Besides, she never said that everything would be over once she took the money.

Old Gu was naturally heartbroken at the thought of losing so much money; it felt like his heart was being ripped out.

But he can't care about that now.

As Dai Anchen said, his work unit could indeed afford the money, but it would have a significant impact on him, so his first thought was to pay for it himself.

Offering his own money would be like cutting off his own flesh and bleeding him dry. Old Gu's heart was clenching with pain, but he had to try his best to stay calm and not get agitated, otherwise he would be dizzy and vomiting and wouldn't even have a chance to negotiate.

"...Okay, I'll pay you back, but you have to give me time. You can't have that much money all at once."

Chu Xin nodded in agreement.

Ge Shaoting opened his mouth but ultimately couldn't say anything more infuriating.

"Since we've already agreed, we're going back now. I'll give you two days to prepare the money. Don't even think about sneaking away, or you'll definitely regret it."

Of course, I imagine you wouldn't do something so tasteless for the sake of 749's reputation, would you?

Chu Xin's soft words were full of threats, and Old Gu had no choice but to agree, even though he gritted his teeth.

He pretended not to notice Dai Anchen's increasingly strange expression.

Hmph, so what if there are speculations? He's just using his profession to make some extra money. There are plenty of people who do that. How serious is it?

Dai Anchen was feeling depressed. When Chu Xin said she was leaving, he made an excuse, "I'll see you off."

However, Old Gu interrupted them. He looked at Chu Xin, who was raising her neck as straight and stiffly as possible, and asked hesitantly, "Why did I become like this? They are all fine now. Did you do something else to me?"

"If you can do that, do you also have a way to help me recover?"

"Who knows? Maybe you have some hidden illness that's causing this." Chu Xin made up a lie irresponsibly, not caring at all about the expression on the face of the person hearing it.

"How could that be? I'm sure I'm perfectly healthy," Old Gu insisted.

Chu Xin shrugged, blurting out her usual scathing remarks, "If that's how you want to think, there's nothing I can do."

But a different voice echoed in her heart: "So what if it is? I don't admit it, what can you do to me!"
