1434 Promissory Note
Jian Yiling explained helpfully: “Theft of private possessions worth three hundred to five hundred thousand dollars will sentence the individual to 10 years of imprisonment or life imprisonment with a confiscation of property.”
And the valuables and antiques in front of them were clearly worth more than five hundred thousand dollars.
Furthermore, as their actions could be considered malicious, the sentence given would be more severe.
As they were cornered by legal means and the big shots in Country M, Situ Zhong and Zhang Xin had no choice but to yield.!!
Situ Zhong attempted to reason with Jian Yiling one last time: “Dr. Jian, in the past, the Xie family has been inseparable from the Nine Dragons Association. We’ve already admitted our mistakes today and apologized for our actions. I believe there’s no need to be so ruthless with your actions. After all, it won’t do us any good.”
“I think otherwise,” Jian Yiling replied.
Upon hearing this, Situ Zhong stammered: “You…”
Even though he wanted to yell at Jian Yiling, he did not know what to say.
Zhai Yunsheng sarcastically interrupted: “So when you take things from someone else’s property, you don’t care about being friends in the past. However, when you want the other person to forgive you, you mention the relationship you had. Your double standards are very admirable.”
Situ Zhong did not know what to say. His face turned from red to ashen white in embarrassment and anger.
Then, Zhai Yunsheng added: “Well, make a decision. You can decide to settle this matter privately or publicly. My wife and I are very busy people. We don’t have time to waste with you. If you hesitate for much longer, we will add in our loss of time as well.”
As Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling’s time was very precious, the longer Situ Zhong took to make a decision, the more likely the additional compensation required would be higher than one hundred million dollars.
Situ Zhong almost had the urge to vomit blood.
Zhang Xin was forcing himself to hold back his resentment. After all, he didn’t know how to deal with Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.
“But we don’t have that much money,” Situ Zhong replied.
“Then give as much as you have. You can write down the rest in a promissory note. We have a lawyer here anyway,” Zhai Yunsheng replied very generously.
A lawyer was brought along because Jian Yiling was inheriting her grandma’s property. He came in quite handy.
Situ Zhong felt his chest tighten and Zhang Xin clenched his fists together.
However, in the end, they had no choice but to succumb to Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling’s demands.
“Okay, okay, I’ll sign the promissory note!” Situ Zhong squeezed out.
Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng smiled and asked his lawyer to write up a contact. Then, the lawyer brought it over for Situ Zhong and Zhang Xin to sign.
After this, Zhai Yunsheng smilingly said: “I hope you can pay back the money on time or according to the contents of this promissory note, if we go to court, the assets under your name will be frozen.”
“Hmph!” Situ Zhong grunted with indignation. Then turned his head and left. He did not want to stay for a moment longer.
After the members of the Nine Dragons Association left, Zhia Yunsheng turned to thank the big shots of Country M.
“Thank you for your help.”
“You are welcome. We’ve been old friends with the Xie family and we’re very happy to see their descendants,” the old man said with a smile on his face.
The others nodded in agreement.
Back then, the Xie family was known to be righteous and trustworthy. As they were willing to help others in times of need, they forged countless friendships and good relations.
And thus, even after so many years, there were still so many people who were willing to come forward to help the descendants of the Xie family.
