Chapter 619: Qin Lin Arrives, Questioning Sister Yue (Part 1)
Han Yunru stood up and looked at the newcomer with a little surprise.
Qin Lin's eyes were red, his beard was unshaven, his shirt was wrinkled, and he looked exhausted.
"Xiaoru, my dad..."
"Don't worry, take a breath first. Uncle Qin is still safe."
Just then, another figure walked in.
The woman walked hurriedly, the sound of her high heels tapping on the floor, the hem of her woolen skirt swaying, and the corners of her coat fluttering.
She walked straight to Qin Lin and called out to Shi Qingzhi, "Auntie."
This is Qin Lin’s wife.
Guan Yiling naturally turned her gaze to Han Yunru, "Hello."
Han Yunru smiled back: "Hello. Sit down first and let's talk. I'll pour you some tea."
"Xiao Ru, that's not necessary." Qin Lin reached out and held her, "Let me talk about my dad's situation first."
Han Yunru quietly broke free and asked the couple to sit down: "...Let Mom tell me, she knows better than me."
After saying that, he went into the kitchen and poured two cups of warm water.
When Qin Lin came out, he already knew the whole story, and his anxiety was written all over his face, unable to be concealed.
Guan Yiling sat beside him, gently persuading him, "...Now that things have come to this, there's no point in you getting anxious. Not only will you fail to save Dad, but if he gets too angry and becomes ill, wouldn't that just cause more trouble?"
Qin Lin was obviously very impressed by this. His expression visibly relaxed. He hummed lightly and began to discuss countermeasures with Shi Qingzhi.
"...Auntie, I don't understand, why didn't you call the police when something like this happened?"
"The kidnappers specifically insisted that we not call the police, or they would kill us! I can't gamble with your father's life. Furthermore, Yueyue said that cross-border kidnappings like this require time for deployment and rescue, and involve another country. With so many considerations, the timeliness of the operation is impossible to guarantee. If we alert the kidnappers, the consequences will be disastrous..."
After listening to this, Qin Lin looked thoughtful, and finally had to admit that these considerations were necessary.
"Yueyue?" Guan Yiling asked in confusion.
Han Yunru stepped forward, placed the cup of water on the coffee table, and replied, "She's my daughter. You've had a hard journey, have some water, it's warm."
Guan Yiling: "Thank you."
Qin Lin frowned: "Just sit down, don't worry."
Han Yunru smiled and said nothing. She walked over to Shi Qingzhi and sat down next to her, gently holding the old lady's clenched fist.
Shi Qingzhi realized it later and let go. He raised his eyes and gave her a comforting look.
Suddenly, Guan Yiling said, "Sister Han, excuse me, how old is your daughter?"
"eighteen."
"Just reached adulthood?" Guan Yiling's eyes were filled with surprise. "Isn't this still a child?"
Does this mean that what she said is credible?
Han Yunru was stunned and explained: "Yueyue is different from other children, she..."
"No matter what, they're just children. At their age, they should be learning knowledge carefree in school. How could they know the dangers of society? What's more, this is no small matter. It involves Dad's safety..."
"I asked Yueyue to participate." The old lady suddenly spoke, interrupting her, "A person's ability has nothing to do with age. I believe in her."
Guan Yiling frowned and turned to look at her husband, only to see Qin Lin looking distraught and at a loss.
She subconsciously glanced at Han Yunru who was sitting opposite her, and pursed her plump red lips slightly.
Under normal circumstances, she would most likely choose to remain silent when the old lady spoke, but this time she was angry and couldn't calm down after several attempts.
In a fit of rage, he blurted out, "Auntie, human life is at stake, this is not a joke!"
Shi Qingzhi's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Play? In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would play with your father's life?"
She was talking about "you guys", including not only the outspoken Guan Yiling, but also the silent Qin Lin.
Han Yun frowned subconsciously, but she also knew that it was inconvenient for her to speak at this time.
She moved the teacup in front of her, and the bottom of the cup scraped across the glass, making a slightly harsh sound.
Qin Lin suddenly came back to his senses and quickly explained: "Auntie, she can't speak, please don't think too much."
After saying that, he looked at his wife with a blaming look: "Why are you butting in? Yueyue's considerations make sense. We really can't call the police at this time."
Shi Qingzhi nodded: "I think so too. Your father's safety is the most important thing. Let alone 100 million US dollars, even if it's 1 billion, we must bite our teeth and gather it together!"
One hundred million...US dollars?
Guan Yiling's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and the fingertips of her hands placed on her knees moved slightly.
"Auntie, we absolutely trust you. You've been so kind to my dad over the years..."
"It's not enough to trust me, you also have to trust Yueyue."
Qin Lin opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Jiang Fuyue walked down the stairs with a computer in one hand and a phone in the other. "We've found out. The kidnappers are probably hiding in Nan--"
She paused and raised her eyebrows to look at the two extra people in the living room.
Shi Qingzhi waved at her: "Come, Yueyue, your Uncle Qin and Aunt Guan just rushed over from the imperial capital after they found out..."
Jiang Fuyue walked over and nodded slightly as a greeting to the two of them, then put the computer on the coffee table, squatted down, and quickly opened a document.
One update, 2,000 words.
