Li Xiao was very satisfied with the effect he had created. Why did he "kill all" Petrovna with a little bit of coercion? That was to make this woman completely despair of Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov. Only in this way would she understand
The situation is cooperative.
Now that the heat is almost there, she will know what to do with just a little more effort.
Li Xiao continued with a smile: "Okay, even if Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov value you very much, attach great importance to your value, and are determined to rescue you at all costs, even if they have these absurd ideas,
It's true, but I have to ask you a more important question..."
Li Xiao did not talk about this problem immediately, but looked at Petrovna quietly and let the woman start thinking according to his guidance.
"I want to ask you, do you think Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov are really capable of rescuing you?"
Petrovna was stunned, a little confused as to why Li Xiao asked this. She felt that Viscount Prozolov might not be interested. After all, he was just a counselor, but Grand Duke Constantine was a prince after all, and a prince with great power. If
If he really wants to rescue himself, he should have a way, right?
Li Xiao sneered: "What method? Who do you think is more important between you and Bestuzhev Liuming? If the Grand Duke is really as powerful as you think, why doesn't he rescue others who are more important to him?
Where is Stuzhev Ryuming?"
Petrovna was speechless when she was asked, because this question was indeed very reasonable. If Grand Duke Constantine was really that powerful, he should have counterattacked strongly in the face of Count Shuvalov's provocation and directly rescued Bestuzhe
Husband left Ming, but now that one is almost moldy in the prison, and Grand Duke Constantine can only watch helplessly and there is nothing he can do.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that Grand Duke Constantine is not that powerful at all. He could not even save Bestuzhev Ryuming, who was framed, let alone her accomplice who was obviously guilty of the crime and was even more difficult to save.
Obviously, it is unrealistic to rely on Archduke Constantine to rescue him, because he simply can't do it!!
When Petrovna realized this, her face became extremely pale, and her face turned completely gray.
Li Xiao was very satisfied with the effect he had created. Once a person despairs, even a god can do nothing about it. But now Petrovna has realized where her biggest problem or misunderstanding lies.
Her problem has never been about whether Grand Duke Constantine wants to rescue him, but whether that person has the ability to rescue him. Obviously she has realized that that person does not have this ability at all.
And this could also explain why she had not seen the Grand Duke take any action even after being captured for so long. At first, she thought the other party was being cautious, but now it seems that there is nothing that can be done about it!
After being silent for a while, Petrovna suddenly raised her head and said to Li Xiao without hesitation: "What exactly do you want me to do!"
Li Xiao smiled with satisfaction, because he knew that he had succeeded and Petrovna had been convinced by him.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Before you listen to my request, we'd better negotiate your terms first. Otherwise, if we can't agree, things will be in trouble!"
Petrovna cautiously asked: "What's so difficult?"
Li Xiao smiled meaningfully and said slowly: "Sometimes it's not a good thing to know secrets you shouldn't know, right?"
Petrovna's expression changed immediately. She immediately knew that Li Xiao had seen through her thoughts and would not give her any chance to take advantage of the loophole.
Why do you say that?
Just imagine, if Li Xiao made his purpose clear to Petrovna without any precautions, Petrovna would immediately know that he or Count Rostovtsev was targeting Grand Duke Constantine, otherwise it would be completely
No need to plant a spy, right?
And what does this mean? It means a great secret. Once she masters this secret, she can first negotiate with Li Xiaoxu, and then try to get in touch with the outside world, and then hint to Grand Duke Constantine, then her situation will be different.
It will be greatly improved.
In short, for Petrovna, this was a free bargain. She gained a secret without paying anything. Isn't this a sure profit?
But Li Xiao rudely shattered her dream, and even warned and threatened her - if she knew a secret she shouldn't know and then refused to cooperate, she would have no choice but to be silenced!
Obviously, Petrovna understood the warning, and naturally she did not dare to have any evil thoughts again. She answered obediently and honestly: "My request is very simple. As long as I can clear my name and keep my noble status, I will be satisfied."
!”
Li Xiao smiled, because at first glance Petrovna's request didn't seem too high, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this request is actually very high. After all, what is Petrovna's situation?
That means there is almost no way to survive, okay? In this case, help find a way to survive. Isn’t this a high request?
But Li Xiao didn't say anything, because he knew very well that Petrovna could only ask for this, because other requests were completely meaningless to her.
Li Xiao is also ready to agree to her request, but before that, he will raise the asking price a little to squeeze more benefits from Petrovna.
He smiled and said: "Don't you think your requirements are a bit high? Anyone who has the ability to realize your requirements will look down upon your little remaining value. Your efforts and rewards are completely out of proportion. Do you think
Would I agree to such a loss-making deal?"
Petrovna did not panic. She was too used to these bargaining methods. She smiled and replied: "That's not right. You know exactly how much I am worth, but what do you want me to do?"
But you don’t know anything, and now you are talking to yourself. Isn’t this unfair?”
Li Xiao also laughed, but what he said was not funny at all: "It's not fair, but who told me that there is no fairness in this world! If you want fairness, you must first make me fair.
Regarding your strength, madam, let me ask you, do you have this strength?"
Petrovna was immediately speechless. She had finally learned how shameless Li Xiao was. He simply did whatever he wanted without restraint. Not only that, but he also said some red-guoguo truths to disgust people. It was extremely shameless.
Petrovna asked unhappily: "Then what price do you want me to pay? My body?"
Li Xiao smiled contemptuously and said: "I'm not interested in your body. It's worthless to me. What I want is..."
