Chapter 468 Why is it so lively?
The sky was clear over the cemetery, but there were dark clouds over the Bai family villa.
Lin Yan stood in front of the Bai family's villa, her fingers trembling above the doorbell. She took a deep breath and pressed it. The crisp ringing sound was particularly piercing in the quiet villa.
The door opened, and the housekeeper, Uncle Wang, looked at her expressionlessly: "Miss Lin, the master and the mistress are having afternoon tea."
"I want to see them." Lin Yan's voice was hoarse, and the fatigue from not sleeping for two days was engraved in her sunken eye sockets.
Uncle Wang hesitated for a moment, but still stepped aside to let her in.
Lin Yan stepped into the Bai family's magnificent living room, and the soft carpet under her feet made her feel unreal.
The rich people's homes are filled with the smell of money, which is unimaginable for people like her who live in a rented house for a few hundred yuan a month.
In the restaurant, Bai Fuchun and Fang Yajun were enjoying tea and snacks elegantly.
The light from the crystal chandelier fell on them, and the silver cutlery reflected the cold light.
"Lin Yan?" Fang Yajun put down her coffee cup, frowning slightly. "What are you doing here?"
Lin Yan dug her nails into her palms and forced herself to remain calm. "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, as agreed, the matter has been completed. I'm here to collect the compensation I deserve."
Bai Fuchun slowly put down the silver fork and signaled the servant to leave.
When there were only three of them left in the restaurant, he spoke: "Is it done? I don't think so."
"Zhang Xiu was indeed poisoned and fell into a coma, and Meng Anran was indeed caught up in the public opinion storm." Lin Yan's voice began to tremble. "You promised to give me 10 million as long as I completed this task and told me the whereabouts of my daughter."
Fang Yajun chuckled, and that laugh was like an icicle piercing Lin Yan's eardrum: "Dear, are you mistaken? We said that we would only fulfill our promise if 'Meng Anran's reputation was damaged and ruined'.
"But what about now? Meng Anran's reputation has not only not been damaged, but has been even more praised because of saving people. Word is everywhere that she is a kind and beautiful person with superb medical skills. This is the exact opposite of what we want."
"This isn't my fault!" Lin Yan suddenly raised her voice. "Who could have thought she would actually save Zhang Xiu? Who could have thought that netizens wouldn't believe the negative comments? You didn't anticipate this either!"
Bai Fuchun's face darkened. "Watch your attitude! If things don't go well, it's your responsibility, not ours."
Lin Yan felt dizzy. She held onto the edge of the dining table and managed to steady herself. "You can't do this... I took such a big risk to do this for you. If the police trace the source of the poisonous mushrooms—"
"Then it has nothing to do with us." Fang Yajun interrupted her, her eyes cold. "You bought the poisonous mushrooms yourself. You were the one who poisoned them. All the evidence points to you alone."
Lin Yan's face turned pale instantly. She finally understood the Bai family's plan. "You didn't intend to fulfill your promise from the beginning, did you?"
Bai Fuchun stood up and looked down at her. "Lin Yan, you're a smart person. We in the Bai family never do business at a loss. Now that things have gone wrong, you come to ask for money?"
Lin Yan's figure swayed for a moment, her expression a little dazed. She suddenly rushed towards Fang Yajun and grabbed her wrist: "Where's my daughter? At least tell me where my daughter is! I'm dying, I just want to see her!"
Fang Yajun shook her hand away in disgust, but because the movement was too large, the jade bracelet on her wrist hit the edge of the table and shattered onto the ground.
"Crazy! Security guard!" she shouted angrily, feeling increasingly irritated.
What a nice bracelet, what a pity.
Two bodyguards in black immediately rushed in and held Lin Yan.
She struggled, tears blurring her vision. “Please… I have cancer and won’t live long. Just tell me where my daughter is…”
"What are you arguing about?" Bai Yuanshan's figure appeared in front of the three people along with the voice.
As soon as I entered the villa, I heard a lot of noise here and couldn't help but come over to see what was going on.
He glanced at Lin Yan, who was being held by the bodyguards, and narrowed his eyes in disgust.
Then he bent down to pick up the broken jade bracelet and threw it on the table. "Dad, Mom, Jingyao is coming over today. Hurry and dispose of the garbage. Otherwise, if he sees it, he will be even more reluctant to come back in the future."
Bai Fuchun adjusted his cufflinks and said indifferently, "Lin Yan, since you have done some work for the Bai family, I will give you a piece of advice. Leave Beijing immediately and never come back. Otherwise..."
He paused meaningfully.
Lin Yan suddenly stopped struggling. She raised her head, a crazy glint in her eyes: "What else? Kill me? Like you deal with other disobedient people?"
The air in the restaurant froze instantly, and Fang Yajun's expression changed. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Was I wrong?" Lin Yan sneered. "Bai Yujin died in prison. You guys were responsible, right? Just because she ruined the Bai family's reputation, you couldn't even kill your own daughter!"
Bai Fuchun narrowed his eyes, nearly gnashing his teeth. He raised his hand and slapped Lin Yan across the face. "Nonsense! How dare you slander our Bai family and ruin our reputation? I don't think you want to live any longer!"
"I'm just stating the facts!" Lin Yan broke free from the bodyguards' grip and straightened her messy clothes. "You bribed Bai Yujin's cellmates, forcing her to bite her tongue and commit suicide because she couldn't bear the torture!"
She pulled out a chair and sat down. "I want the 10 million I deserve, and the whereabouts of my daughter. Otherwise, we'll both die together."
Fang Yajun suddenly laughed. "You think too highly of yourself. Lin Yan, what qualifications do you have to fight to the death with us? If we really did it, do you think we would leave any evidence against you?"
"Since I know this, do you think I have any evidence?" Lin Yan restrained her panicked heartbeat and tried to maintain superficial calm.
In fact, she did not get any definite evidence, she just heard about it and wanted to tell it out to trick them.
Now it seems that she made the right bet.
But Lin Yan still underestimated the wealthy family. She wanted to play psychological warfare with them in this way, but her chance of winning was zero.
Fang Yajun laughed sarcastically. "Bai Yujin is already a death row inmate. Why would we go to all this trouble to force her to commit suicide? The hypothesis you're proposing is completely untrue."
Bai Fuchun was too lazy to continue arguing with Lin Yan, for fear that his grandson would come back and see them, which would ruin their first impression.
He waved his hand, "Throw her out."
"Yes!" The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and lifted Lin Yan up.
Lin Yan was completely panicked and struggled frantically. "You are a bunch of untrustworthy villains! I took a high-risk action for you just to get information about my daughter! Why didn't you tell me? Where is my daughter?!"
No one paid any attention to her.
The bodyguard dragged her out of the restaurant and when they walked into the living room, the light at the door suddenly dimmed.
The tall figure was like a solemn god of death, and the bodyguard suddenly stopped.
Why is Mr. Lu here?
The next second, a head popped out from behind Lu Heng, eyes filled with playful sly smiles: "Oh, it's so lively?"
The bodyguard gasped. Why is Meng Anran here too?!
Suddenly, the side glass window was broken with a "bang".
The bodyguard turned his head and saw a figure squatting on the window frame, with silver hair fluttering in the breeze outside the window.
Damn! Second Young Master Lu is here too!
