Chapter 488 I am willing
After sending Cheng Peilan away, Jiang Yao planned to share the clues he got today with Li Beiting, and planned to go to the prison to see Xu Cong'an again.
As a result, not long after she went out, she saw an unexpected figure outside the door.
"Miss Jiang, long time no see. How have you been recently?" The man greeted her with a smile.
Jiang Yao's expression changed slightly. "Ji Wanqing, you are quite courageous. You actually dare to appear in front of me. Do you think I won't do anything to you?"
"I know you've seen through my identity. I was planning to continue playing the victim, pretending to be Jiang Jinghe's first love to make him soften his heart towards me, but I didn't expect to be almost killed in the process."
Ji Wanqing patted her chest when she said this, as if she was still feeling scared.
Jiang Yao's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Have you met my fourth uncle? What did you do to him?"
“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”
Ji Wanqing was in a good mood. She walked forward with graceful steps and pointed the phone screen at her.
"You might as well take a look at this!"
In the picture, Jiang Jinghe hung his head, his hands were chained tightly, his outer clothes were taken off, and his body was covered with dense whip marks, looking horrible.
Jiang Yao's face turned pale and he exclaimed, "Fourth Uncle!"
The person on the screen seemed to have heard something, and slowly raised his head, looking at Jiang Yao who appeared in the camera. His expression suddenly changed, "Yaoyao, don't listen to her! Protect yourself!"
"Wow, what a deep uncle-nephew bond!" Ji Wanqing sighed, "You told her to leave you alone, but didn't you ever consider your own life? What if you died in a second? Wouldn't that be a shame?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of anger suddenly rose to Jiang Yao's head.
Her eyes turned bloodshot, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Wanqing's neck and pressed her against the wall.
The phone fell to the ground with a "click".
Ji Wanqing's cheeks turned red from being pinched. She tried desperately to pull her hand away with both hands, but she was no match for Jiang Yao's strength.
"Tell me! Where did you lock him up?" Jiang Yao asked sternly.
Ji Wanqing actually revealed a strange smile upon hearing this. She opened her mouth and said word by word silently: "If you have the guts, just strangle me to death!"
If she died, Fourth Uncle's safety would no longer be guaranteed.
Jiang Yao was of course aware of this.
So even though she was furious, she finally let go of Ji Wanqing's hand and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do!"
Ji Wanqing was instantly choked to death.
It took me a long time to catch my breath and finally breathe some fresh air.
"Miss Jiang really knows how to handle the current situation!"
She put on a fake smile again. "Actually, my conditions are very simple. As long as you follow me honestly, I promise to let your fourth uncle go. All I want from the beginning to the end is you.
Of course, you can refuse, but——"
She signaled Jiang Yao with her eyes to look at the phone screen on the ground.
Jiang Yao lowered her head and saw a gun pointed at Jiang Jinghe's forehead, with someone's hand on the trigger, as if the person on the other side would shoot her on the spot if she said no in the next second.
"You lunatic!"
Jiang Yao's eyes were bloodshot, and he thought she was simply crazy.
"I am crazy, but you don't have to believe it. Maybe the person on the other end of the video was someone I asked to impersonate your fourth uncle. Maybe it's a face synthesized by AI. Do you want to reconsider it?" Ji Wanqing said with a smile.
Jiang Yao clenched his fists tightly.
Of course she could tell what was true and what was false.
The moment she saw the video, she was sure that the person on the other side was her fourth uncle.
And if she didn't have such evidence, how could Ji Wanqing dare to approach her openly.
"Don't think about it."
She took a deep breath and finally made a decision. "I agree to go with you, but you must ensure his safety. Otherwise, I will not let you go even if I die with you."
"Of course." Ji Wanqing was in a good mood. She took out a pill from her sleeve and handed it to her. "Take this. You should be familiar with it. This is something that can make you lose your strength. After all, Miss Jiang's fighting power is so strong. I was afraid that you would regret it and run away!"
At this point, Jiang Yao has no room to retreat.
She swallowed the medicine in front of Ji Wanqing.
Then get in the car with her.
"Wait a moment." Ji Wanqing reminded again, "Please take off your cell phone, bracelet, necklace, earrings, and anything else that could be used to transmit messages. I don't want to take you away for nothing and have your loved one quickly catch up based on the location!"
"You're so thoughtful!"
Jiang Yao felt that he had underestimated this woman.
This gave her the opportunity to take advantage of.
But she had no room to retreat now, so she took all those things off and left with Ji Wanqing.
She was blindfolded the entire time.
All I could hear was the sound of the car starting up.
"Ji Wanqing, I really didn't expect you to be so cruel. When my fourth uncle mistook you for his first love, didn't he treat you well? Yet you could be so cruel to him."
Ji Wanqing was not moved by Jiang Jinghe, such an outstanding man who had done all the good things for her.
On the contrary, their attitude towards him was cold-blooded and ruthless.
"You also said that I was taking advantage of her. If I was taking advantage of her, wouldn't it be stupid to have real feelings for her?" Ji Wanqing's tone was sarcastic, but also carried a certain inexplicable emotion.
Jiang Yao was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. "So, you really are working for Huo Yishen! But he's been arrested now, who can you still be loyal to?"
"Who says you can't escape after being arrested?" Ji Wanqing smiled faintly. "With Mr. Huo's ability, he can't be imprisoned unless he's willing! He willingly gave everything for you, but you don't cherish it. Don't you think you're the cold-blooded and selfish one?"
At this moment, Jiang Yao finally heard the emotion that flashed across her words.
That's clearly... jealousy!
"You like Huo Yishen?" She suddenly realized and blurted out.
Ji Wanqing suddenly fell silent.
It was as if his thoughts had been exposed and he couldn't say anything to refute, but it also seemed as if he was brewing some emotions.
After a while, just as Jiang Yao was listening to the noise outside the car and thought she would not answer, Ji Wanqing admitted, "You are right! From the beginning, I was the one who was redeemed.
Back then, when I was abandoned by my family and nearly frozen to death on the roadside, it was Mr. Huo who saved my life, took me home, cared for me carefully, cured my illness, and gave me the name Wanqing. I will never forget his kindness to me.
From that moment on, Ji Wanqing began to be completely devoted to him.
Even though she could vaguely sense that when Huo Yishen looked at her at first, it was as if he was looking through her at someone else.
But she still has no regrets.
