Chapter 196 Bai Yan was captured by the Bai family
"A female guest came to the Feng family. She was in her forties and said that you had introduced her. She also said that her daughter was a good friend of yours, but she wouldn't say who she was."
"I feel there's something wrong with this; it feels like a trap," Feng Yao explained in a deep voice.
Having just gone through the power struggle within the Feng family, he was still on edge, and everything seemed suspicious to him.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue knew that her brother was referring to Bai Yan and her daughter.
Bai Yan has a special identity, and it's understandable that her mother didn't want to be taken back by the Bai family and therefore hid her identity.
“It was someone I arranged. Give me the phone, I’ll answer it,” Xia Yue explained as she walked over.
Feng Yao handed the phone to Xia Yue.
"Hello, Auntie, it's me." Xia Yue introduced herself.
Upon hearing Xia Yue's voice on the other end of the phone, Bai's mother grasped at a straw and immediately began to plead for help!
"Yueyue, Yanyan... Yanyan has been taken away by the Bai family. I beg you, please help me and rescue her, okay? I'm begging you!"
As Bai's mother finished speaking, her voice trembled, and she burst into tears.
Xia Yue hadn't expected that Bai Yan would run into trouble in just a short while.
She rescued Bai Yan from Gu Chen, intending to set her free, but ended up causing her to fall into a wolf's den.
"Auntie, don't worry, wait for me at the Feng family's house first, and we'll discuss it when I get back," Xia Yue reassured Bai's mother.
As for Bai Yan, she was his friend, and he was implicated in this whole affair from beginning to end, so of course she had to be saved.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Bai's mother calmed down a bit, and Xia Yue hung up the phone.
Then she returned the phone to Feng Yao and pleaded,
"Brother, you're more familiar with the Feng family, so I'll have to trouble you to put in a good word with them and ask them to take good care of this aunt."
“These are all minor matters, but who exactly is this person, and what are you going to do? I'm worried you'll run into trouble again.”
Feng Yao only regretted that he could not walk on the ground now, could not return to the Feng family to take charge, and could not help Xia Yue.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious, I can handle it myself. You just need to get some rest." Xia Yue casually brushed it off.
Afterwards, she wrote another prescription and asked the Feng family to purchase the medicine. Whenever she had free time, she would personally make the medicine for her brother to help him recover as soon as possible.
After finishing her work, Xia Yue will take Qin Yeting and the others and leave temporarily.
Because this matter involves Bai Yan, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Xia Yue sent Shen Xiangxiang and Shang Zexi away and only planned to discuss it with Qin Yeting.
On the way home from the hospital, Xia Yue recounted how she had helped Bai Yan fake her death, escape from Mo Xiao, infiltrate the Bai family, and then had Bai Yan tricked away by Gu Chen and threatened by him.
After listening, Qin Yeting marveled at his wife's extraordinary courage.
They dared to use so many tricks when dealing with pirate captains.
Mo Xiao was unaware of it; if he had found out, the consequences could have been disastrous.
Now is not the time to bring up past grievances and blame others. Qin Yeting can only help and work together to find a solution to resolve the trouble as quickly as possible.
"Bai Yan was captured by the Bai family. She was originally a tool given to Mo Xiao by the Bai family. The Bai family has been suppressed by the Feng family recently and has been trying to take revenge on the Feng family."
They are highly likely to send him back again in an attempt to win over Mo Xiao.
Qin Yeting made a bold conjecture.
Xia Yue thought so too. She added, "My father... no, the one from the black market exchange, was assassinated at the palace gate. It's said that he was a member of a pirate group."
Pirates and the black market, though one operates on the sea and the other on land, seem to have nothing in common.
But in reality, where there are interests, there are conflicts. When I was on the pirate ship, I knew that Mo Xiao also had many businesses on land, one of which was black market brokerage, which overlapped with the black market exchange.
I suspect that Mo Xiao is in the capital of Country A, just hiding, ready to cause trouble at any time.
"That makes things even more complicated..."
"I'll have to ask Auntie for more details when I see her later," Xia Yue sighed softly.
Back at the Feng family home.
Bai's mother had already been settled in advance and was resting temporarily in a secluded courtyard.
When Xia Yue came in, she saw Bai's mother pacing back and forth in the yard, looking as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Auntie, I'm back. Tell me about Yanyan in detail." Xia Yue walked over, her calm and composed gaze putting Bai's mother at ease a little.
Fearing that others might overhear, Bai's mother took Xia Yue back to the house before slowly recounting the story.
It turns out that Xia Yue had let Bai Yan and her daughter go first in order to protect their safety.
Not long after they left, they ran into the Bai family on the road, who seemed to be on orders to look for someone.
The Bai family acted arrogantly; in order to find someone, they even grabbed passersby and checked them one by one.
Although Bai Yan and her mother were wearing masks, they could not escape the group's search.
Left with no other choice, Bai Yan could only continue to hide with her mother until they reached a pharmacy.
Bai Yan learned the art of disguise from Xia Yue. While staying at the Gu family, she liked to study it in her spare time, and her skills improved a lot.
She prepared some simple ointment on the spot, disguised herself, and then arranged for her mother to hide in a corner.
Then, she went out to deal with the Bai family on her own.
The person in charge of this operation from the Bai family was actually Bai Mudan. Upon seeing Bai Yan, she excitedly took Bai Yan away on the spot.
He kept muttering, "Although I didn't find anyone for the Gu family, you look just like that little bitch, hahaha—the Bai family is just worried about having no way out!"
What happened after that, Bai's mother didn't know.
After saying this, Bai's mother burst into tears.
