Passionate Devotion - Chapter 175
175 Don’t think that I’m easy to bully 6
“Has there ever been anyone who was incompetent and retired from their position?”
The maid thought for a moment and said, ” in the history of the Leng family, other than those who had short lives, there was one who made a mistake and was dragged down from the throne. However, the ending was very tragic. It was as if he was imprisoned for life. He was given the best food and drink, but he lost his freedom completely and was never allowed to step out of the island.
“Why?”
!!
“Think about it, a person in power, sitting in that high position, how many secrets does he know about the Leng family? How could an Emperor retire to the second tier after abdication? How much would the next person in power fear him? This is the case for a country, and it is also the case for a big family. The fate of stepping down will naturally be locked up. This is a road of no retreat. If you want to get more power, you have to take more risks.”
“Is the key to the vault very important?”
of course, without the key to the Treasury, it’s like an Emperor without a Treasury. The country is unstable, so how can it not be important? ”
Her trusted maid’s metaphor was always on point, and her image was sad. Tong Lu asked casually, ” “How much money is there in the vault?”
The trusted maid said, ” I’m just a little maid. How would I know about this? don’t tell me I don’t know. Other than the person who holds great power, no one else knows.
“The first head of the Leng family made a strict will that year, and he was absolutely not allowed to disclose the information of his property to the public. Lawyers are not allowed to intervene in property inheritance, so it’s still a mystery how much gold is in the vault. The Leng financial family is known as the shadow cabinet of the financial world, and people in the industry have a conservative estimate that it’s no less than 50 trillion US dollars!”
“However, for a family to be able to stand firm in the cruel vortexes of finance, politics, and war for hundreds of years and establish a financial Empire that is hidden from the court but invisible, how can the wealth of the family be speculated by the outside world? The total value of the gold in the vault will definitely be twice as much as the outside world’s conservative estimate.”
Tong Lu’s head spun. how much money would that be? what if someone messes with the vault? ”
“Miss Tong, you’re too naïve again. Let me tell you, the Leng family’s vault is heavily guarded. It can’t be opened without a key. Even if there’s a special situation and you touch the vault without permission, the vault will activate the self-destruction system! The entire vault’s exterior was blown up, but the interior remained intact.” The maid said in a measured tone.
Tong Lu cast a sideways glance at the female servant. sometimes, I feel that you’re really wasting your talent by being a female servant.
As she said that, her phone suddenly rang. Tong Lu snapped out of her thoughts and quickly took out her phone. However, the caller ID on the screen was not Leng Yejin’s. It was her father’s. Nonetheless, she answered the call in a moment of desperation.
Tong Lu, how can you Sue your sister for murder? ” The stepmother’s voice was unusually sharp on the phone. “Don’t you know that you’ll get your sister killed? How can you be so vicious?”
Tong Lu found it funny. she had someone do something to my car. I almost lost my life. Isn’t that murder? ”
“Aren’t you still alive?”
“What if I die?”
Xia manwen tried her best to soften her voice. Lulu, your sister really didn’t want to kill you. We’re a family. If there’s a problem, just go to the police station and solve it. If you’re found guilty, your sister’s life will be ruined. Do you know that? ”
“What about my life? What about my whole life? When I got into Yale that year, why didn’t you think about the fact that I had to work hard to get in? Don’t think that I’ll choose to suffer in silence like I did in the past. That’s because I don’t have the ability to fight back. Also, my mother is dead! I’m not your family!”
