Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao was very satisfied with the effect he created. Why did he threaten to "kill all" Petrovna? ​​That was to make this woman completely desperate for Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov. Only in this way will she recognize the situation and cooperate obediently.

But now that the fire is almost ready, she only needs to work a little bit more and she will know what to do.

Li Xiao continued with a smile: "Well, I will assume that Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov value you very much, attach great importance to your value, and are determined to rescue you desperately. It's true, but I have a more important question to ask you..."

Li Xiao didn't ask this question right away, but quietly looked at Petrovna, letting the woman follow his lead to start thinking.

"I want to ask you, do you think Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov are really capable of rescuing you?"

Petrovna was taken aback, she didn't understand why Li Xiao asked such a question, she felt that Viscount Prozolov might be offended, after all, he was just a counselor, but Grand Duke Constantine is a prince after all, and he is a prince with great power, if If he really wanted to rescue himself, there should be a way, right?

Li Xiao sneered: "What way? Who do you think is more important, you or Bestuzhev Ryumin? If that Grand Duke is really as powerful as you imagined, why didn't he rescue someone who is more important to him?" Where's Stuzhev Liumin?"

Petrovna was left speechless by the question, because the question really made sense. If Grand Duke Konstantin was really that powerful, facing Earl Shuvalov's provocation, he should have fought back forcefully and directly rescued Bestuzhev Ryumin, but now that one is about to mold in the prison, and Kang Grand Duke Standing could only watch helplessly as there was nothing he could do.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that Grand Duke Konstantin is not that powerful at all, even the framed Bestuzhev Ryumin cannot be saved, let alone her accomplice who is obviously guilty and more difficult to save.

Obviously, it is unrealistic to rely on Grand Duke Constantine for rescue, because he can't do it at all! !

When Petrovna realized this, her complexion was very wonderful, and she really became ashen.

Li Xiao is very satisfied with the effect he created. Once a person is desperate, there is nothing a god can do. But now Petrovna has realized where her biggest problem or misunderstanding lies.

Her problem has never been a question of whether Grand Duke Constantine wants to rescue her, but a question of whether he has the ability to rescue her. Obviously she has realized that that one does not have this ability at all.

And this can also explain why she has been arrested for so long and has never seen the Grand Duke take any action.

At first she thought that the other party was cautious, but now it seems that there is no way, okay!

After being silent for a while, Petrovna suddenly raised her head and said to Li Xiao without hesitation, "What do you want me to do!"

Li Xiao smiled contentedly, because he knew that he had succeeded, and Petrovna had been persuaded by him.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, before you listen to my request, we'd better discuss your conditions, otherwise, if we fail to agree, then things will be troublesome!"

Petrovna tentatively asked: "What's the problem?"

Li Xiao smiled meaningfully, and said slowly: "Sometimes it's not a good thing to know a secret that you shouldn't know, right?"

Petrovna's face immediately changed, she immediately knew that Li Xiao had seen through her thoughts, and did not give her a chance to take advantage of any loopholes.

Why do you say that?

Just imagine, if Li Xiao explained his purpose clearly to Petrovna without any precautions, Petrovna would immediately know that he or Count Rostovtsev might be eyeing Grand Duke Constantine, otherwise it would be completely There's no need to plant a spy, is there?

And what does that mean? It means a great secret. Once she masters this secret, she can make a deal with Li Xiaoxu first, then try to get in touch with the outside world, and then hint to Grand Duke Constantine, then her situation will be greatly improved.

In short, for Petrovna, it was a free pick-up. She got a secret for nothing without paying anything. Isn't this a safe profit?

But Li Xiao unceremoniously shattered her sweet dream, and even warned and threatened her—knowing secrets she shouldn't know and then not cooperating, then she can only be silenced!

Apparently Petrovna understood the warning, so naturally she didn't dare to have any wrong thoughts, she replied obediently and honestly: "My request is very simple, as long as I can be innocent and keep my noble status, I will be satisfied !"

Li Xiao smiled, because Petrovna's request may not seem high at first glance, but as long as 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 out, okay? Isn't it a high requirement to help find a way out in this situation?

But Li Xiao didn't say anything, because he knew very well that Petrovna could only ask for this, because other requests were meaningless to her.

And Li Xiao was ready to agree to her request, but before that, he would raise the asking price a little to extract more benefits from Petrovna.

He smiled and said, "Don't you think your requirements are a little high? Anyone who has the ability to fulfill your requirements will look down on the little value you have left, and the contribution and return are completely out of proportion. Do you think Will I agree to such a loss-making deal?"

Petrovna didn't panic, she was too used to these bargaining methods, she smiled and replied: "That's not right, you know how much I'm worth, but what do you want me to do? But I don’t know at all, you are talking to yourself now, isn’t it fair?”

Li Xiao also laughed, but what he said was not funny at all: "It's not fair, but whoever made this world unfair! If you want to be fair, you must first make me fair." Regarding your strength, ma'am, let me ask, do you have this strength?"

Petrovna was speechless for a moment. She had learned Li Xiao's shamelessness. He was so unscrupulous that he could do whatever he wanted. Not only that, but he also said some red truths to disgust people, which was extremely shameless.

Petrovna asked angrily, "Then what price do you want me to pay? Body?"

Li Xiao smiled contemptuously and said, "I'm not interested in your body, it's worthless to me, what I want is..."
