章 256: Chapter 255: Perfect Calculation (4th Update)

Clutching at her last strand of hope, Du Wenwen asked Xu Niannian, "How much is the penalty for breach of contract?"

"Five hundred thousand!" Xu Niannian blurted out.

In that era, five hundred thousand was virtually equivalent to a billion in later times.

Du Wenwen gasped in shock, "Are you planning to rob someone? Half a million!"

"Robbery is a crime," Xu Niannian responded with a smile still on her face. "Half a million might sound excessive, but it's just to prevent you from doing anything that harms my interests. If you follow the contract, the half a million is just a few words, meaningless really. After all, with your questionable ethics, I must take precautions, mustn't I?"

After saying this, Xu Niannian even showed Du Wenwen a sympathetic smile.

Staring at that smile, Du Wenwen felt a tingling scalp and a twitching at the corners of her mouth.

Her constant insinuations of unethical behavior almost infuriated Du Wenwen.
