Upon hearing Ye Huanhuan's words, Li Qin's last line of defense completely crumbled. She was completely blinded by the desire for money, and her mind kept wandering to the life Ye Huanhuan described.
She looked at Ye Huanhuan with longing in her eyes and asked anxiously:
"Huanhuan, is everything you said true?"
Ye Huanhuan curled her lips slightly, a mocking look in her eyes.
"What I said in front of so many people is of course true."
Li Qin swallowed hard, about to speak, when Xia Jianguo covered her mouth. Xia Jianguo's face was grim, and his tone was resolute:
"You little bitch, do you think I'll fall for your tricks? You think you can trick us into telling us anything? No way!"
Ye Huanhuan was clearly taken aback. She hadn't expected that Xia Jianguo could remain so rational and completely unmoved by the monetary temptations she mentioned.
interesting.
That's so interesting!
This was the first time she had ever seen Xia Jianguo like this.
It seems that the couple must have some fatal weakness that is being used against them by someone behind the scenes.
A fatal weakness.
What is it?
Ye Huanhuan thought for a moment and quickly came to a conclusion.
It's Xia Pengpeng!
In Xia Jianguo's eyes, nothing could compare to his precious son.
It seems that the person behind this has likely kidnapped Xia Pengpeng to threaten Xia Jianguo and his wife.
With that thought in mind, Ye Huanhuan immediately had a plan in mind.
"Dad, do you think that if you don't speak up, the person behind this will let Pengpeng off the hook?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Jianguo's eyes widened, filled with panic.
His lips trembled as he stammered:
"How...how did you know?"
Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but sneer inwardly; it seemed she had guessed correctly.
"How I know this doesn't matter. What matters now is the safety of your precious son."
Looking into Ye Huanhuan's extremely cold eyes, Xia Jianguo felt a sense of panic.
That brat is absolutely right. He and Li Qin messed up the mission. When they got back, that person definitely wouldn't let Pengpeng off easily. But what should they do now?
With such a powerful background, how could he and Li Qin dare to provoke them?
Seeing Xia Jianguo's flustered expression and refusal to say anything, Ye Huanhuan continued:
"Dad, tell me, who ordered you to do this? If you tell me, I can help you get Pengpeng out of the hands of the person behind this!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qin desperately pried Xia Jianguo's hands off and blurted out:
"We have no idea who that person is, but they're someone important. After smashing up the old house, they kidnapped Pengpeng and took him away. Before they left, they only told us to cause trouble at your family reunion banquet, to smear you, ruin your reputation, and make everyone despise you. If we do it well, they'll give your father and me ten million each; if we don't, they'll sever Pengpeng's tendons. Huanhuan, for the sake of you and Pengpeng being siblings, please save Pengpeng..."
After saying that, Li Qin finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
These words were like a huge stone thrown into calm water, immediately causing a huge uproar.
"Who on earth is this person? How dare they be so arrogant as to break into someone's home and kidnap someone?"
"Yes, the methods they used to slander Miss Ye were too ruthless."
"It's hard to imagine who Miss Ye has offended, that person would go to such lengths to frame her."
"Sigh, who knows? This is all just a power struggle between wealthy families. We can only watch the show."
Ye Huanhuan's eyes were cold; she really hadn't expected the other party to be so ruthless.
"Don't cry yet!"
She interrupted Li Qin's crying, "Didn't you leave any evidence? Like surveillance footage or something else?"
At this moment, Xia Jianguo, who was standing to the side, spoke up.
"There were surveillance cameras installed, but they turned them off as soon as they entered the old house."
"So you have no idea who they are or what their background is?"
"yes."
Xia Jianguo looked heartbroken and resolute. "If they dare to do anything to Pengpeng, I won't live either!"
Just as Ye Huanhuan was pondering whether to contact Ji Ming to investigate clues about these people, Tang Yi came to her side.
"Huanhuan, don't worry, I'll send someone to find Xia Pengpeng right now."
Ye Huanhuan initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought that in front of so many people, she shouldn't reveal Ji Ming's trump card.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Thank you very much, Mr. Tang."
"Huanhuan, you don't need to be so polite to me," Tang Yi said.
He turned around and whispered a few words to his assistant Zhao behind him. Upon hearing this, Zhao immediately turned around and quickly left the banquet hall.
Ye Huanhuan dared not meet Tang Yi's burning gaze. She lowered her eyes and said very politely:
"Mr. Tang, you helped me, how could I not express my gratitude?"
"Huanhuan, you know I don't need just words of thanks..."
Tang Yi lowered his voice and whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"What I want is you."
It's started again!
This man is trying to seduce her again!
Ye Huanhuan felt a flush on her face and slowly took a step back, creating some distance between herself and Tang Yi.
She pretended not to hear and said to Xia Jianguo:
"I will have someone inform you as soon as I have news about Pengpeng. You can go down now. I will take you to Genting Bay after the banquet."
