Chapter 209 A Complete Calculation

At Yan Baiqing's request, Hua Mei played the Municipal Bureau's clip and then watched the entire video again.

From the moment Chen Qing put on the earrings backstage, her every move was under surveillance.

Yan Baiqing took a sip of wine. The screen happened to show Yuan Hui quietly asking her, "Putting aside the relationship, I think Mr. Yan is more suitable to be a husband than Mr. Jiang. What do you think?"

He put down his wine glass and waited for Chen Qing's answer with interest.

In the noisy environment, she whispered, "Mr. Yan is a smiling tiger! You can't tell when he is angry."

"How could that be? He seems to have a much better temper than Mr. Jiang."

"Really!" Chen Qing gritted his teeth as he said this. "Mr. Yan is a plastic bag."

Yan Baiqing frowned and turned to ask Hua Mei, "What is a plastic bag?"

Hua Mei choked and answered honestly, "Plastic bag, it can be put in."

The man laughed in anger and put his phone aside.

"She can't possibly detect it." Hua Mei coughed and said firmly, "This batch of Huafang equipment hasn't even been put into use by the troops yet. Ordinary detectors can't detect it, let alone a student like her."

Yan Baiqing half-closed his eyes, his tone ambiguous, "Just because you can't detect the surveillance doesn't mean you can't detect I'm behind it. Qing'er is smarter than you think, don't underestimate her."

Hua Mei was startled and thought for a moment, "Then will you still keep her?"

"Why not stay?"

"What if...she and Mr. Jiang team up to cheat you..."

The man glanced at her indifferently. "Qing'er has something to gain by being close to me. She wants to uncover the truth about her parents' death, but she doesn't want Jingyan to risk his own reputation to seek justice for the Chen family. Apart from me, she can't rely on anyone else. With Jingyan's personality, will he tolerate this? He will definitely get to the bottom of this. Huasheng and Jiang Zhongyi have already overwhelmed him, so forcing him to make a mistake is easy. Since taking Qing'er in will make him lose power and feel frustrated, why not do it?"

Hua Mei felt a chill down her spine. She had always believed that Yan Baiqing's feelings for Chen Qing were very subtle, perhaps with a bit of inhumane sincerity. But now it seemed that they were completely mixed with calculations.

Prompting Chen Qing to leave Jiang Jingyan is tantamount to speeding up Jiang Jingyan's overthrow of Meng Hongwen. When the master and apprentice are in a stalemate, one of them will always be defeated. No matter who wins in the end, it will be an opportunity for Yan Baiqing.

He will finally come out on top in this one.

…

Yan Baiqing returned to the living room on the first floor before lunch.

The nanny pointed to the sofa and lowered her voice, "Miss Chen has been asleep for half an hour. Do you want to wake her up?"

He shook his head and walked over.

Chen Qing leaned on the armrest of the sofa, a small goose yellow ball, with coconut crisp crumbs hanging on his lips.

She slept uneasily, her brows furrowed, her forehead slightly sweaty, and a few strands of hair stuck to it.

In fact, Chen Qing was much better at pretending than him. She never slept in the bedroom, but curled up on the sofa in broad daylight in the living room, closest to the door, right under the nose of Yan's nanny. It was obvious that she was on guard against him, but even so, she still had to force herself to stay here.

Yan Baiqing picked the flowers gently and rubbed her face with the back of his hand. It was soft and warm, just like the white magnolias blooming in the warm spring sun.

He was so addicted to the touch that he woke her up.

"Mr. Yan..." Chen Qing sat up suddenly, realizing that he had overreacted, and rubbed his eyes to cover it up, "Why didn't you call me?"

Yan Baiqing didn't care much, he stretched up his trouser legs and sat down, "Do you have classes this afternoon?"

"Yes, two sessions."

"How much do you know about your parents?"

Chen Qingxin shuddered, observing him cautiously. "I only learned a few details from the lawyer. Back then, my father's driver reported him for embezzling construction funds. Mr. Jiang personally took over the case, and it took him six months to finalize it."

"When did you feel something was wrong?"

"On the day of the school anniversary, in the small garden, when you rescued me."

Yan Baiqing lowered his eyes and played with his phone, "You said Jiang Zhongyi moved the witness away, where is the video?"

"On the school computer."

"Is it a direct witness?"

Chen Qing shook his head. "I'm not sure. She was the driver's secret lover. Before I could find out anything, she was moved away by Mr. Jiang's people."

"what else."

"There's also a recording of Driver Zhao threatening me not to continue investigating."

Yan Baiqing's eyelids twitched.

Driver Zhao had been bribed by him a long time ago. Under the banner of Jiang Zhongyi, he went to Li Xiangli's old house to inquire and transfer Wan Lihong. All of this was part of his plan, but he didn't know there was such a thing as a "threat".

He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his thighs, with a savage and aggressive posture. His voice was cold and deep, "Threatening you?"

Chen Qing couldn't help but shrink, "Yes..."

"How to threaten."

She pointed to the fruit knife on the coffee table and said, "Dagger."

The man's eyes dimmed, and his tone became colder, "Are you hurt?"

Chen Qing was stunned, his expression uneasy. "I wasn't hurt, but I was frightened. I had nightmares for a few nights after returning home, and it even ruined one of my clothes."

Yan Baiqing's facial features were tense, and the bones at his temples were visibly trembling. He was silent for a long time, then stood up and told the nanny to prepare dinner.

The first class was at 2:30, but Chen Qing lied and started an hour early.

Yan Baiqing sent a car to take her there. After arriving at the school, she called driver Zhao.

"Ms. Chen," Driver Zhao said politely. "Do you have any instructions?"

Chen Qing calmed himself down and said, "Mr. Yan will deal with you before tonight."

"I work for the Jiang family. Why did Mr. Yan punish me?"

She was too lazy to argue and explained quickly, "I'm only telling you this news. Believe it or not, if you want to leave yourself a way out, it's best to confess to Mr. Jiang as soon as possible. After all, you have been in the Jiang family for so long, and you know Mr. Jiang's character well."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone neatly, holding her chest to calm down.

Chen Qing didn't come back to his senses until Yuan Hui came in.

She only realized that Driver Zhao was doing things for Yan Baiqing yesterday on the way to the Municipal Bureau.

What a coincidence! All the clues point to Jiang Zhongyi. The only person who dares to target the Jiang family can be Yan Baiqing.

That's why she made the hasty decision to do that at the Municipal Bureau.

It was also because of this that she had to ask Driver Zhao to remind Jiang Zhongyi.

It is true that Jiang Jingyan investigated the case, but it is also true that he got into trouble because of it. The mistake with the Nanhong bracelet was a warning to him.

If he doesn't stop, a worse situation will be waiting for him.

When Chen Qing thought of Jiang Jingyan's gradually pale face last night, he felt unbearable pain in his limbs.

She squatted down, trembling all over.

Yuan Hui walked around to her, looking worried. "What's wrong? Is your period coming?"

Chen Qing wanted to speak, but tears welled up in her eyes first, and the soreness in her throat caused her to gag.

"Are you okay..." Yuan Hui helped her to the bathroom. "You didn't have your period. Are you pregnant?"

Chen Qing vomited a pool of sour water and waved his hands.

After finally recovering, she leaned against the sink and rinsed her mouth, her breath barely fading.

Yuan Hui was worried. "Mr. Jiang is in the hospital. Are you too tired to take care of him?" Chen Qing's face turned pale and his lips trembled. "When..."
