Chapter 170 She chose her own family
"Then tell me, who ordered you to do that?"
Meng Anran was very patient and coaxed him in a gentle tone: "Give him over, and I can let you go. I promise not to hold you responsible anymore."
Deng Lin snorted and turned away, "No one ordered me to do that. I just don't like you. I hate the rich!"
It was a ridiculous excuse and an obvious lie, but Meng Anran was not angry at all. She even kept smiling.
She waved her hand casually, "Since you won't tell me, then send him to the police."
Money can make the world go round. Money can’t buy loyalty or people’s hearts, but it can buy a person’s life.
Just as Deng Lin was about to be dragged out, Meng Anran spoke again: "Chen Jing, check his background and see if there are any relatives around him. It's such a big deal, we have to inform the relatives."
"Yes." Chen Jing responded respectfully.
Deng Lin immediately panicked. The power tactics were beyond their ability to withstand. He struggled and shouted, "What do you want to do? Don't go to them!"
Meng Anran smiled and said, "You are strong and loyal. Of course, your family should know about these good qualities."
"I'm telling you! I'm telling you everything! Don't hurt my family!"
The bodyguard loosened his grip at the right time, and Deng Lin, freed from his restraints, crawled to his knees in front of Meng Anran, crying and begging for mercy.
"Mr. An, I was wrong. My wife just had surgery for leukemia. Please don't provoke her."
Meng Anran shrugged and drank the sparkling water contentedly. "Wouldn't it have been better if this had happened earlier? Your wife is still lying in the hospital bed. If you go in, who will take care of her in the future?"
She had no intention of attacking her relatives, she just wanted to scare Deng Lin.
How could an ordinary family like this dare to fight against the powerful? The easiest soft spot to exploit is nothing more than family.
Deng Lin swallowed nervously and said tremblingly, "A man told me to do this. I don't know him. He knew my wife needed money for surgery, so he gave me one million and asked me to put the medicine in Mr. Qin's cup. I don't know who he is, and I was afraid that he would hurt my wife if I told him, so..."
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the person who came to Deng Lin was just following orders. How could the real mastermind behind the scenes show up?
Therefore, Duan Xi is the biggest suspect.
"Okay, go now." Meng Anran waved her hand and stopped caring about it.
She is not so heartless. She prefers to settle accounts with the mastermind rather than the person who did it.
Deng Lin was taken out by the bodyguards. Chen Jing bowed and signaled, then left and closed the door.
Duan Jingyao looked at Meng Anran thoughtfully and found that she had really changed a lot compared to when she was in high school.
Perhaps it should be said that Meng Anran at this moment is completely different from usual.
She possessed an unparalleled arrogance and the complacency of being in control of everything, as if a beast that had been dormant for years had suddenly awakened, craving the thrill of blood and fighting.
Meng Anran turned her head to meet Duan Jingyao's gaze and smiled, "Sorry, it seems that I did misunderstand you."
Duan Jingyao chuckled, a bit ironic, "You've never believed me, have you?"
Meng Anran put down the empty glass and said calmly, "Since we are allies, I naturally trust you. But since this involves Qin Mu, I have to be cautious."
Hearing this, Duan Jingyao's eyes darkened and he asked, "Is he so important to you?"
Meng Anran curled her lips and answered quickly and affirmatively: "Of course, he is the most important person to me."
He is her childhood sweetheart, her confidant, her boyfriend, and the family she chose herself.
Duan Jingyao smiled inexplicably, but didn't say anything else.
The matter came to a temporary end. Duan Jingyao left first. Meng Anran went to chat with her master for a while, then went to say hello to Wu Chongxi before returning to Qin Mu.
…
The night was as deep as an abyss. A cool silver-gray supercar was speeding on the road, and the sound of its engine tore through the silent night.
Lu Yi controlled the steering wheel with one hand and held a cigarette with the other. He stepped on the accelerator deeper and deeper and drove straight to North City.
The car finally stopped in front of an unfinished house. Lu Yi got out of the car, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it, then walked into the house with his long, straight legs.
"Second Young Master."
The people guarding the house bowed and greeted Lu Yi when they saw him. The leader said, "Madam is inside."
"Yeah." Lu Yi responded coldly, glanced at the man lying on the ground with a bruised face, and waved two fingers casually, "The garbage needs to be cleaned up."
"Understood." Then, the defeated soldiers were dragged out.
Lu Yi entered a room on the first floor and saw Bai Yujin tied to a chair, blindfolded and gagged.
A casual and evil smile appeared on his thin lips. He walked forward and reached out to pull off the black cloth covering Bai Yujin's eyes. At that moment, the amusement in his eyes was suddenly tinged with a bit of worry.
"Mom, I'm here to take you home."
After a few days of darkness, Bai Yujin looked at her little son and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Her mouth was blocked, and she wanted to speak, but could only make whimpering sounds.
Lu Yi ripped the towel out of her mouth, then went around behind her to untie the ropes for her, saying, "Mom, I really can't bear to hide this from you. Lu Qingcheng is not your daughter at all, but Dad's illegitimate daughter. However, I believe Dad is still worried about you. This time when you were tied up, he immediately issued an order to ban the Meng family."
Hearing this, Bai Yujin's tears suddenly stopped, and her throat made a hoarse sound: "What does this have to do with the Meng family?"
"I heard from the housekeeper that after you were kidnapped, someone sent a provocative letter to your home, signed by Mr. and Mrs. Meng Rong." Lu Yi stood behind Bai Yujin, preventing her from noticing the cunning flash in his eyes.
Bai Yujin snorted coldly, "This is the first time I've heard of a kidnapper revealing his identity! Such a stupid act, maybe Lu Zhong staged it all himself! First he brought his illegitimate daughter home, and now he wants to kick me out and bring his mistress back too!"
Bai Yujin had no feelings for Lu Qingcheng, nor for any of the children she had carried for ten months.
She was angry because the couple's joint property was used to support Lu Zhong's illegitimate daughter and allowed a lowly creature who was not presentable to live in the house openly.
What was even more infuriating was that she had actually given up her dream of being graceful and elegant, which she had spent 17 years of manpower, material resources and financial resources to cultivate, for this bastard whose blood flowed from an unknown woman!
Look at how well Meng Anran has developed now. He owns countless industries and unknown assets. Everyone calls him "Mr. An" when they see him.
If Meng Anran had not been allowed to leave at that time, all her assets would belong to the Lu family now!
You picked up the fish eye and lost the pearl, but the fish eye is not your own flesh and blood!
"Don't be angry, go back and have a good talk with Dad." Lu Yi helped Bai Yujin up and walked her out, with a barely visible smile of success on the corner of his lips.
Just before getting in the car, the phone in my pocket rang.
Lu Yi asked his men to help Bai Yujin get into the business car and send her away first.
He stood there and answered the phone.
"Brother, the plan has failed."
