Chapter 620: The scum is jumping around, the mother and daughter are facing the outside world (23 updates)
Qin Lin didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
From the last time they met, he knew that Jiang Fuyue was a very mature girl, and he subconsciously treated her as an adult.
Therefore, nodding as a way of greeting seemed normal to him.
But in Guan Yiling's eyes, it was just a rude and arrogant act of a child.
Although she is beautiful, her upbringing is not very good.
"Yueyue, what is this?" The old lady pointed at the screen.
"A map of the Sapo District of South Vietnam."
"Shapu District?"
"Yes. I just received news that the kidnappers are likely to be staying in this area."
Shi Qingzhi's eyes lit up: "So, Old Qin is here too?!"
"Um."
"Shapu District?" Guan Yiling suddenly asked, "But I heard it's one of the safest districts in South Vietnam, inhabited by aristocrats. Wouldn't the kidnappers be walking into a trap by choosing a place like that?"
Jiang Fuyue didn't raise her eyes as she continued to work on her computer, quickly responding, "First of all, we didn't call the police, and they expected us not to. Even if we entered Shapu District, we wouldn't be targeted."
"Secondly, when the kidnappers chose their base, they might have considered that the most dangerous place is also the safest place."
"Finally, based on the clues Grandpa Qin left, I had people investigate areas in South Vietnam where overweight children were being held captive. After multiple rounds of screening and elimination, we narrowed down the two districts of Qianhai and Shapu. There's a protest going on in Qianhai right now, and the city is in chaos. Those thugs are even more vicious than kidnappers. It's possible that bullets could rain down on you while you're sitting at home."
"Kidnappers are also human beings, and everyone values their lives, so Qianhai was ruled out."
Then only Shapu is left!
Guan Yiling: "These are just your personal speculations. We don't know the specific methods of screening and elimination. Are you going to lock down Shapu District based on just a few words? And ignore other areas? If you make a mistake and delay the best rescue time, who will be held responsible?"
Jiang Fuyue paused what he was doing and suddenly raised his eyes.
Guan Yiling didn't dodge or evade, and said firmly, "I am just making a reasonable guess and making an appropriate judgment. Please understand how we, as family members, feel."
Han Yunru frowned.
Jiang Fuyue smiled, closed the computer, and stood up straight: "I'm not a police officer, and I have no obligation to understand the feelings of the family. I understand the old lady because I want to and I am willing to, not because I 'should'. As for you..."
The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a hint of sarcasm. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes looking down at him: "To put it bluntly, it's nothing. Why should I understand your feelings?"
Every word and sentence is powerful.
Unbridled and arrogant, without any mercy.
Guan Yiling was stunned. She never expected that Jiang Fuyue would embarrass her on the spot.
Those words, that tone, and the arrogance that emanated from her whole body were not at all what an eighteen-year-old girl should behave like.
"You're so rude!"
Jiang Fuyue sneered: "You come to my house and tell me what to do, and I have to be polite to you. Do you think that's appropriate?"
"As the saying goes, if someone shows me respect, I'll return it with a foot. While you're accusing me, have you ever considered whether your words and actions are appropriate?"
"You--" Guan Yiling didn't expect Jiang Fuyue to be so intolerant and eloquent, but now she was put in an awkward position.
Jiang Fuyue put away the computer: "Since you don't trust me, then find someone trustworthy to handle this matter."
After saying that, he pretended to go upstairs.
The old lady reacted and called her: "Yueyue——"
Jiang Fuyue's expression eased slightly. She leaned over and gently shook Shi Qingzhi's hand. "Grandma, I will do my best to fulfill my promise. You can also find other ways to save people. We will not interfere with each other."
"I don't need to account to anyone for what I do. I just want to have a clear conscience."
Guan Yiling blushed at the insults, and suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Han Yunru...
"Sister Han, are you just going to watch?"
Han Yunru tilted her head to look at her, her eyes filled with confusion: "What else?"
Guan Yiling's eyes widened: "You are letting her go, or even condoning her!"
Han Yunru said sternly, "I don't think Yueyue did anything wrong in this matter. From the beginning, she just wanted to help. Of course, as a family member," she emphasized the word "family member" with a hint of meaning, "you can choose to accept it or not. Yueyue respects your opinion and will definitely not rush you!"
Because of the old lady's behavior, Han Yunru had already reached her limit by enduring until now.
Originally, she wanted to save face for Qin Lin, but Guan Yiling was stubborn and insisted on running into the gun.
Then you can't blame her.
"What do you want to see when you say this to me?" Han Yunru's tone was gentle, her expression harmless, but every word was as sharp as a knife. "Do you want me to teach my daughter a lesson in public out of courtesy and dignity? To scold her to death? Or to use my status as a mother to forcefully suppress her? To force her to admit her mistake to you by holding her head down?"
Guan Yiling looked stunned.
She thought she had just underestimated Jiang Fuyue, but she didn't expect Han Yunru to play by her own rules.
Now, mother and daughter joined forces to face the outside world.
This put Guan Yiling in a difficult position.
"Alin..." She subconsciously tugged at her husband's sleeve.
But Qin Lin's first reaction was not to stand up and speak for her. Instead, he whispered an apology to Han Yunru: "Xiaoru, don't be angry. She is just like that. She is used to speaking without restraint. If she has offended you and Yueyue in any way, I apologize on her behalf."
"I know you're concerned about my dad's safety and want to find the kidnappers as soon as possible and rescue him. Since we all have the same goal, why don't you sit down and discuss this calmly?"
These words were very generous, giving both sides a way out and showing the country's own attitude.
He was willing to believe Jiang Fuyue.
Han Yunru's expression softened slightly, "...Brother Lin, I don't want to embarrass you, but I won't allow my daughter to be bullied."
"I know," Qin Lin sighed, "You've always been protective of your shortcomings since you were little, and you still have that temper now."
The two looked at each other and expressed their understanding.
But this scene was unacceptable to Guan Yiling.
Not to mention the past between Han Yunru and Qin Lin when they were young, which already left her with a grudge; now she was speechless, and her husband not only did not support her, but also scolded her instead?
Every word and every look is protecting his first love, Bai Yueguang!
Anger burned in Guan Yiling's eyes. She was about to speak when she was suddenly met with Qin Lin's warning gaze.
"You don't help me." She spoke each word with a resentful tone.
"Yiling, you should have some sense of propriety when you're throwing tantrums! Normally, you can throw tantrums as much as you want, and I never ask any questions. But right now, my dad is on the brink of life and death, and every minute is precious. I hope you can understand the bigger picture and stop being unreasonable and annoying!"
"I'm annoying?! Fine, you're all family, and I'm the only outsider! I'll just leave!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the villa.
Qin Lin had no intention of chasing after him. He just held his forehead in pain. The most urgent thing was to deal with the kidnapping.
"Yueyue, you just mentioned Shapu District, then what?"
Jiang Fuyue turned on the computer again. "If the clue of 'fat kid' alone is not enough to completely lock our sights on Shapu District, we need further evidence before we can truly begin action."
"You mean..." the old lady guessed, "that audio?"
"Yes. I've asked professionals to analyze it, and the results will be out tomorrow at the latest."
Qin Lin frowned: "How sure are you?"
Jiang Fuyue shook her head: "Not sure."
…
At night, Qin Lin left and returned to the hotel. As expected, he saw his wife who had returned earlier.
He didn't feel like talking any more. His nerves had been tense all day, and the long journey had already made him exhausted.
After taking a shower, I lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, Guan Yiling suddenly kicked him and said, "Get out of here."
Qin Lin suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at her calmly: "What do you mean?"
"Since I, your wife, mean nothing to you, why bother coming back? Does Han Yunru need a room for you? Oh, her husband has to go home tonight. It's inappropriate for you, her ex, to hang around in front of her current partner, isn't it?"
Qin Lin looked at her for five seconds, then turned over and sat up. Under the woman's slightly dazed gaze, he put on his clothes, packed his things as quickly as possible, and finally picked up his suitcase and prepared to leave.
Guan Yiling's expression changed drastically: "Where are you going?!"
Qin Lin didn't look back: "Didn't you ask me not to come back? I respect your opinion."
After saying that, he strode away.
"Qin Lin, you bastard—"
It was obviously not like this when he was in the imperial capital, but once he arrived in Linhuai and saw that woman, everything changed!
