Investigation and Interrogation

Wang Yue clenched her hands tightly, hesitating, and said, "How much do you want then?"

Lu Ming opened his palm, looked at the emerald thumb ring, and smiled, "Considering your willingness, I'll need thirty thousand. I'll help you shut those people up!"

"Another thirty thousand? Where am I supposed to get that much money?" Wang Yue stood up excitedly and argued with him.

Lu Ming, displeased, put down his hand and said, "Ms. Wang, I'm not negotiating with you. If you don't provide the money, and by any chance, those who know the truth accidentally let something slip, I won't be the one in trouble."

Wang Yue, infuriated, lowered her head and began to negotiate with him, "Ten thousand, I can't offer more! I genuinely don't have that much money!"
