No One Else in Sight

When Chen Qing met Jiang Jingyan, he was, like in the eyes of the outside world, impossibly high above her.

This was because for most of his life, Mr. Jiang had maintained a pristine, upright...

Chapter 97 I Didn’t Let You Ruin Her

Chen Qing returned on the school bus and said hello to Mrs. Luo on the way. He would stay in the dormitory for the next few nights.

It is summer vacation now, and everyone else in the dormitory has gone home one after another, leaving Yuan Hui as the only one left in their dormitory.

In the evening, Yuan Hui went downstairs to get takeout.

After returning, he was holding a document in his arms and said, "The courier brought it up for you."

"Mine?" Chen Qing was surprised and took it.

The recipient was indeed her.

It's so strange.

Chen Qing tore off the seal and groped inside very cautiously.

Seeing the two extremely thin pieces of paper, her heart sank as she guessed what they were.

Sure enough, it was a photo.

There was only one sentence on the other piece of paper: Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, Shuixie Hall, A09.

Chen Qing was at a loss. He saw Yuan Hui stand up out of the corner of his eye and hid in a hurry.

She couldn't sleep well the whole night.

The sender must not be a voyeur, otherwise he would not have met her, a worthless student.

But if she was from the theater, what was the point of looking for her? Was she after money?

Chen Qing tossed and turned, and after the rehearsal the next day, he went to the appointment alone.

Shuixietang is a restaurant located in the center of the lake, far away from the school. When she arrived, it was exactly the agreed time.

There was a man in a dark blue suit at the door, who came forward and said, "Ms. Chen."

Chen Qing nodded, "It's me."

"Come with me."

She was uneasy, "Who is looking for me?"

"You'll know when you get there."

"For money?" She hesitated. "I can give you whatever you want. Please pass on the message."

The man didn't respond directly, insisting, "Please go upstairs."

Chen Qing glanced at the sign of Shuixietang and the wooden bridge behind him.

The ripples on the surrounding water surface were reflected on the building, interweaving with the moonlight, and the silence was so eerie that it made people feel scared.

The man waited for two or three seconds, then raised his chin slightly to the side.

A figure suddenly appeared from somewhere, and Chen Qing saw the man's appearance at the first time. He was a former staff member of Qingyoufuyuan.

She started to run, but the man blocked her way in time, "Miss Chen, I'm sorry."

Yan Baiqing had just left the conference room when he learned that Chen Qing was in trouble.

The secretary received the message half an hour ago, and in order not to disturb his meeting, he waited at the door.

"Who are they?"

"The five people Ji Mingyin betrayed are all here."

Yan Baiqing felt an indescribable suffocation in his throat, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

The secretary shuddered, "This meeting is too important, I didn't dare interrupt it, but don't worry, Hua Mei has already brought people there."

Yan Baiqing has always been gentle with his subordinates and rarely gets angry, but the secretary also knew that the situation was urgent and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

The five people that Ji Mingyin revealed were the "sponsors" behind the orphan training class. Meng Hongwen wanted to use Chen Qing as bait to make them mistakenly believe that the evidence was not destroyed thoroughly, so that they would show up.

Yan Baiqing has not yet implemented this plan. He is still preparing it more carefully, but unexpectedly, it was intercepted by someone.

"Where is my mother?"

The secretary looked at him in the rearview mirror and said, "I'm not sure, but Director Yan's secretary went to see Mr. Meng this afternoon."

really.

Yan Baiqing's cheeks trembled and blood flowed backwards throughout his body.

At the same time, Chen Qing curled up in the corner of A09, and the laughter and scolding of the men in the box filled his ears.

Her phone was thrown aside and she was now alone and helpless.

"I remember you weren't this pretty before, you were so skinny." A bald man shook off the ash from his cigarette. "You're still as aloof as you were when you were little."

"Yeah, I've seen the video of her being jailed back then. She's very tough!"

Chen Qing bit his lower lip tightly and calculated the distance of the phone in his peripheral vision.

The bald man stubbed out his cigarette and waved his hand, "Alright, it's just this little girl, you went through so much trouble, take her away."

The moment the bodyguard came to drag him away, Chen Qing pretended to dodge, rolled towards the direction of the phone, and hid it in his waistband.

The door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and a charming female voice said, "Boss Huang, what are you doing?"

Chen Qing shivered and observed through the gaps in his hair.

It's a strange woman.

The bald man frowned, "You are..."

The woman was wrapped in a cheongsam, with an enchanting posture. "Whoever Boss Huang receives information from, I belong to him."

"Stop pretending." The bald man sneered, "If you don't tell me your name, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the bodyguards in the room approached her.

The woman was not in a hurry. She looked back and saw several strong men surrounding her at the door of the box.

Chen Qing hid his phone under his clothes while no one was paying attention and turned it on. He dropped it with too much force and couldn't turn it on after several attempts.

Her fingers were numb with anxiety, and she forced herself to remain calm.

The bald man suddenly strode over and grabbed her by the back of the neck. "I just don't believe it. How dare you stop me?"

The woman threw the wine glass, and the broken glass splashed on Chen Qing's calf. "The person who brought the news only allowed you to see Chen Qing, but didn't say you could do anything to her! If Boss Huang doesn't know how to restrain himself, I'm afraid he won't be as lucky as he was six years ago."

This sentence frightened the bald man.

He slowly let go and gestured to the side.

The bodyguard dialed the number and held the phone to his ear.

The box was dead silent. Chen Qing tried hard to make out the voice in the receiver, but the overwhelming fear made it impossible for her to concentrate.

After a long time, the bald man led his men to withdraw.

The woman helped Chen Qing up and asked, "Are you hurt?"

She shook her head.

After going downstairs, the woman drove her away in a hurry without explaining anything.

The car stopped halfway and Chen Qing looked around nervously.

The back door was suddenly opened and she screamed instinctively.

"Qing'er!" Yan Baiqing hugged her, "It's me!"

Chen Qing was shaking like crazy. The faces of the people in the box were similar to those of her childhood. She was terrified and on the verge of a breakdown.

I was stunned for a moment.

Yan Baiqing rubbed his chin against the top of her head, "It's okay."

All the muscles in his body relaxed at this moment.

On the way, he thought through the possible situations that might happen.

If Hua Mei arrived too late, Boss Huang would lose his bestiality, plot evil, and forcibly abduct her. If Yan Weilan went to extremes and refused to let Boss Huang go, Chen Qing would fall into the hands of those people again.

He couldn't even hold anyone accountable because he was the original planner.

At this moment, Chen Qing completely trusted him, let down his guard completely, and curled up in his arms, crying loudly.

Yan Baiqing stroked her back, and the surging emotions in his chest engulfed him.

Yan Baiqing took Chen Qing to his private residence.

He asked for her opinion. Mrs. Luo was in the apartment, and going back would only add to the worries of several people.

"Why are you going to Shuixietang alone?"

"They sent photos to my school." Chen Qing hugged his shoulders, his eyes empty. "Those photos from the theater."

Yan Baiqing took a deep breath and said, "It's me who has implicated you."

She was silent, no longer spoke, and refused to sleep.

The two sat in silence until late at night.

The secretary called and Yan Baiqing walked aside to answer the phone.

Three minutes later, the woman who took Chen Qing out of Shuixie Hall came in.

"Qing'er." Yan Baiqing squatted in front of her, his voice soft, "I have something to do, let her accompany you."

Chen Qing nodded in surprise.

Yan Baiqing drove out of the residential complex and headed straight to a hotel in the city.

Yan Weilan had a social engagement and just finished it.

The driver helped her walk to the car, but before she could sit down, a car suddenly stopped and blocked the way in front of them.

Yan Baiqing was furious and pushed the driver away, "Don't interfere anymore."

Yan Weilan drunkenly opened his eyes and chuckled, "Is it done?"

"Did Mr. Meng ask you to do this, or did you make the decision on your own?"

"Does it make any difference? As long as the result is good, it's good."

Yan Baiqing's chest heaved violently. He held the roof of the car with one hand, leaned forward and looked straight ahead. "From now on, my affairs have nothing to do with you. If you want to fight the Jiang family, go ahead. Don't count on me. If there's a next time, I don't mind joining forces with Jing Yan."

"You try it."

He lowered his body, his eyes were fierce, and his voice was terrifying. "You try it too."

The four looked at each other, neither of them giving in.

The cell phone rang shrilly in the basement, and Yan Baiqing picked up the phone.

"Boss Huang and the others were taken away by Mr. Jiang! Isn't he out of the province? And that Ji Mingyin, damn it! He ran away!"
