The blinding light made it impossible to see who was shining the flashlight on them.
Huang Fei and Zhang Sao were the ones who were nervous. Ye Qing wasn't actually that nervous. She insisted on coming despite being heavily pregnant, which was certainly impulsive, but she had also considered the possible situations on this side to some extent.
Although Ye Qing did not quite agree with what Zhang Sao said about Xu Xiaoyue's mother-in-law not treating her badly.
However, Ye Qing's thoughts were actually somewhat similar to Zhang Sao's. Although their final destinations were different, their thinking was almost the same.
Aunt Zhang was worried about Ye Qing.
Ye Qing felt that besides Xu Xiaoyue and her mother-in-law, there should at most be Jiang Xinya in this place.
Although they had locked Xiaoyue up here and then called to demand money, which was already extortion, Ye Qing felt that perhaps others were helping them, but they wouldn't be particularly vicious criminals.
If Jiang Xinya knew those people, she wouldn't be in this situation now. Those vicious thugs were practically desperate criminals, and Jiang Xinya was clearly not that kind of person.
Furthermore, Yang Zi probably didn't help Jiang Xinya. If Yang Zi had helped Jiang Xinya, she wouldn't have subtly reminded Li Yeming.
The conflict between Jiang Xinya and Ye Qing is quite significant, but ultimately it's a matter between women.
It's said that when women get ruthless, they can be terrifying.
Jiang Xinya's ruthlessness seems to have reached its limit. Otherwise, if she were truly ruthless, she would have gone against her grandmother, so that she could have gotten more money after succeeding.
Or she could confront her stepmother; at the very least, she could get all of her father's money to her.
But if she can't even handle her stepmother, Jiang Xinya is really just a paper tiger.
Such people have started extorting money, but it's a low-level version, and they're very likely to end up doing a poor imitation.
So after weighing the options, Ye Qing felt that it was still possible to help Xu Xiaoyue, which is why she came.
However, the moment Ye Qing was blinded by the bright light of a flashlight, all the fear that had been ignored in her heart seemed to be aroused. So she subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes and didn't see who was shining the light on them.
In fact, Huang Fei's practice of throwing darts to make her movements look more realistic and not just for show during filming was effective!
Because she just smashed Xu Xiaoyue's window, and it hit her.
The only place around here is where Xu Xiaoyue and her family live. They don't know where the power lines are from, and the voltage is always unstable at night, causing the lights to flicker. After living here for a few days, Xu Xiaoyue has gotten used to it.
She was getting ready to sleep when the screen flashed again.
Although there was still some arguing downstairs, Xu Xiaoyue wasn't too worried, because they wouldn't get the money that night. It was such a large sum of money, and even the bank staff would need time to count it.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoyue felt that she should rest well first, and then think of a solution.
She had seen Huang Fei during the day and wanted to call out to him, but he was so far away that Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying would hear her if she spoke. Xu Xiaoye didn't know if she could escape then.
She was afraid that if she had an accident in such a remote place without any plan, the child might be in danger, so Xu Xiaoyue thought she should plan ahead.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't know how to plan for the long term, because she and Huang Fei were not familiar with each other and had no understanding of each other. She didn't know if Huang Fei understood her strong plea for help as she waved to him.
If it were Ye Qing, Xu Xiaoyue wouldn't worry about these situations because she and Ye Qing had a tacit understanding.
But now...
Ever since she saw Huang Fei, Xu Xiaoyue had been feeling uneasy, both expectant and afraid of being disappointed, until she heard a faint sound coming from the window.
At that moment, Xu Xiaoyue seemed to understand why the martial arts masters on TV would suddenly open their eyes and seem to twitch their ears when they encountered danger.
Because she herself reacted to that sound, Xu Xiaoyue didn't reach out to touch her ear to confirm whether it had moved, but suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed with a somersault.
Then, as she strained her ears to listen more carefully, there was no sound. Unwilling to give up, Xu Xiaoyue quickly put on her shoes, found a flashlight, and went to see what was going on outside.
She knew that Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying seemed tough, but in reality, she and Ye Qing thought similarly that they were just paper tigers. Although they did vicious things that deserved to be torn to pieces, they were not actually very vigilant because they always thought that this place was so remote that no one would come here, plus Jiang Xinya and the others lived on the other side.
So Xu Xiaoyue boldly opened the window and shone a flashlight in the window.
Ye Qing raised her arm to shield her eyes from the flashlight's glare. After her eyes adjusted, she slowly removed her hand and glanced at the source of the light. When she saw Xu Xiaoyue standing by the window, Ye Qing's heart leaped into her throat. She nervously grabbed Huang Fei beside her and they exchanged a glance.
Huang Fei also saw Xu Xiaoyue. She nodded and smiled at Ye Qing.
He waved excitedly in Xu Xiaoyue's direction.
Xu Xiaoyue also waved to Ye Qing.
Then she turned off the flashlight.
Huang Fei and Aunt Zhang helped Ye Qing to her feet. Ye Qing and Huang Fei looked at each other, wondering whether they should help Xu Xiaoyue.
While Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue both felt that Jiang Xinya was a low-level version of a criminal, it was unrealistic to expect Xu Xiaoyue to walk out the door so brazenly, regardless of whether she was a low-level version or not.
Of course, it's not entirely impossible. It's possible once Jiang Xinya and the others are asleep, but we'll have to wait.
Remembering what Huang Fei had said earlier, Ye Qing asked Huang Fei, "You called Xi Quan, right?"
Huang Fei nodded.
Ye Qing figured that since she had already made the call, Xi Quan should be arriving soon, so they could wait.
However, this information could not be conveyed to Xu Xiaoyue.
If it were daytime, it would be fine; if I spoke silently and got closer, I could try to get Xu Xiaoyue to read my lips. But now it's completely dark.
They couldn't see each other's lip movements at all. Xu Xiaoyue could shine a flashlight on them, but if she shone it for too long, Jiang Xinya and the others might see it.
And that's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that Ye Qing and Huang Fei couldn't open their eyes at all because of the flashlight beam.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue, who seemed to be doing well, Ye Qing felt relieved and less worried than before. However, things had come to this point, and they couldn't just come to see her and leave. So, they still needed to think of a solution.
But before they could come up with a solution, Ye Qing and Huang Fei were discovered.
