Chapter 157: Trading the Child?
Chen Quan's body froze, and the light that had just ignited on his face dimmed in an instant.
He pursed his cracked lips nervously and his whole body was shaking.
"President Chong, I did as you said last time and went to the Ji Group to cause trouble. I also accidentally injured President Ji. At the police station..."
His voice trailed off, fear evident in his voice.
"If I continue to make trouble, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Yueqing felt a buzzing in his head, as if something had exploded.
She suddenly turned around and looked at Ji Bingqian beside her.
The man's profile was as cold and hard as a knife, and his eyes were as deep as an icy pond. He listened to the words from the next room, but there was no expression of surprise on his face.
Did he know it a long time ago?
Or had you guessed it long ago?
Xu Yueqing felt a chill running up her spine, so cold that her limbs were stiff.
All the details that were previously incomprehensible were connected into a complete and dirty line at this moment.
Nothing is an accident.
Everything was a carefully planned game.
Her lips moved and she moved close to Ji Bingqian's ear.
“I didn’t expect that there was someone behind all this!”
Ji Bingqian hummed in a low voice.
Xu Yueqing bit her lower lip and lowered her voice, her breath almost brushing against his ear.
"I thought the man was just too obsessed with his daughter and was confused for a moment, but I didn't expect it was Chongming who was behind it!"
How could someone be so bad?
Taking advantage of a father's despair and a child's life, forcing him to do this dirty deal.
That's not a threat, that's putting a knife on a person's neck and then asking him with a smile whether he wants to live.
Xu Yueqing felt a mixture of nausea and anger burning from her stomach to her throat.
She tilted her head and stared at Ji Bingqian's cold jawline.
"Do you have any grudge against him?"
Ji Bingqian's gaze was still fixed on a certain point in the void, as if he was quickly searching for something in his mind.
After a few seconds, he slowly shook his head and uttered two words from his thin lips.
"No."
I don't remember any important information about Chongming.
No festival?
Xu Yueqing's mind was spinning rapidly.
"Then why did he go to so much trouble to target you?"
Logically speaking, Haihao is just an average hospital, and its scale and strength are not top-notch. Faced with a behemoth like Ji's, instead of thinking about how to cling to its thigh and climb up, it actually dares to stab it in the back?
This doesn't make sense.
Unless there is someone else behind him. Ji Bingqian seemed to see through her thoughts, and his dark eyes turned to her, just about to say something.
At this moment, Chongming's greasy voice rang out again in the next box, breaking the brief silence.
"Brother, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
There was no longer any trace of pretended gentleness in his tone, only naked pressure.
"I have pointed out the bright path for you. It depends on you whether you are willing to walk on it or not."
Chen Quan's already hoarse voice now sounded as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper, full of despair.
"Dean Chong, I can't afford to offend someone like the Ji family! Mr. Ji didn't pursue me last time, which was already a great favor. What if he really puts the blame on me this time? What will happen to me and my daughter?"
He was almost begging.
But this plea was met with a cold sneer from Chongming.
