Chapter 259 She now has a high status in the Yan family
Chen Qing's legs were too weak to stand. Zhao Ming didn't dare to expose himself, but he unscrupulously went around her neck and lifted her up.
Even though this was at the Yan family, on Yan Baiqing's territory, there were residents living nearby. Even if Yan Baiqing wanted to make a real move, it would be difficult to end it if blood was seen. It was not like he could kill Meng Hongwen at will.
This truth was told to him by Chen Qing.
He waited patiently for the gate to be arranged and glanced into his arms.
This girl was really brave. She sneaked downstairs, found him, smashed the wine bottle, and gave him the opportunity to cut the rope. She also hinted to him that he should choose a good tree to live in. Jiang Zhongyi was more worthy of refuge than Yan Baiqing. If he wanted to get out, he could only rely on this method.
Zhao Ming knew his former employer perfectly well, even without Chen Qing's emphasis. Returning to the Jiang family, while Jiang Zhongyi would punish him according to the law, he would also spare his life. Unlike Yan Baiqing and Meng Hongwen, who were teetering on the brink of violating discipline, their promise of wealth and glory would ultimately lead to a life of living on the brink of death.
People will only accept this truth when they are faced with life and death.
He suffered a loss last time, and Yan Baiqing turned against him, forcing him to be like a stray dog. He finally grabbed Chen Qing as a life-saving straw, so he had to give it a try.
Less than half an hour later, Lao Qian came back and nodded to Yan Baiqing.
The man fixed his eyes on Zhao Ming's face. He was clearly smiling, but his words were chilling. "You know what Miss Chen's status was in the Jiang family before. Now she has a higher status in my Yan family. If you make a mistake or have even the slightest evil thought, the Jiang family will still let you live. Jing Yan will not take your life."
The voice stopped abruptly. Chen Qing shuddered and looked at him tremblingly.
Yan Baiqing had a faint smile on his lips, his gaze seemed to be behind her, but also seemed to be at her left shoulder, "I'm not sure."
She lowered her eyes, and this warning to Zhao Ming contained some ambiguous implications.
…
Huangjia International is progressing smoothly. Jiang Jingyan has brought enough evidence to put pressure on the company. Unless Meng Hongwen shows up, no one can stop the Municipal Bureau from taking people away.
He watched the people in the club tip off Zheng Yuan, waited for him to arrive, and went to the dock according to the time difference.
Daliang waited outside the Yan family for so long but didn't see any suspicious vehicles. Jiang Jingyan secretly asked someone to follow Mrs. Jiang's bodyguard and learned that there was a deployment at the dock. He guessed what Chen Qing wanted to do.
He contacted the department head of the school and asked for leave for Chen Qing. The school schedule at 3 o'clock remained unchanged, and Chen Qing would go directly to Wuhen Village to meet up later.
At the same time, Tang Xiaoming led the Pei family's car out of the school.
Jiang Jingyan didn't tell anyone, for fear that Mrs. Jiang would interfere.
At dusk, heavy rain fell.
Chen Qing and Zhao Ming were riding in a car together, parked on the avenue not far from the pier.
"Ms. Chen, thank you for your sacrifice." Zhao Ming held the steering wheel with one hand, and tied a rope with his other hand to Chen Qing's left wrist, completing the whole act.
Chen Qing withdrew his gaze from the window and signaled him with his eyes to speak less in case there was a bug in the car.
Zhao Ming loosened the rope and crossed his arms. "Please bear with the injury on my neck. I had no choice."
"I understand." Chen Qing stared ahead. There was no one in sight in the rain, and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
Yan Baiqing would not let Zhao Ming leave just like that. The Zhang family must be the one to pick him up, so she leaked the news to Mrs. Jiang so that she could catch him in the act.
At present, Jiang Zhongyi is pursuing him relentlessly in the province. Minister Zhang's identity is there. Once the Zhang family is removed from office, Meng Hongwen will not take action to rescue him for self-protection. The two sides are in discord. There are smart people in Meng's party who can understand the direction of the wind and will always jump out and confess voluntarily.
Chen Qing rubbed his wrist and turned around, "Did Lao Qian send any news?"
"Not yet, wait a little longer, it's raining heavily right now."
The weather is the most deceptive thing. There is no point in waiting for the rain to stop. Chen Qing couldn't help but feel anxious.
After a long while, her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Mrs. Jiang: There was no one from the Zhang family at the dock.
Chen Qing's heart suddenly collapsed.
At this moment, Zhao Ming leaned forward and said, "Let's go."
Old Qian was waiting under the tree with an umbrella, watching Chen Qing get off the car with a smile on his face. "Don't worry, Miss Chen. I'll be waiting here for you."
"Where's Mr. Yan?"
He avoided answering and turned his head behind them.
Two men who looked like cargo ship staff members came over and said, "This way, you two."
Zhao Ming had no doubts, grabbed Chen Qing's arm and followed him.
He knew that someone would pick him up, but he didn't know that Chen Qing was waiting for someone else.
The rain had subsided a lot, but the dark clouds were still as thick as midnight. Chen Qing focused on his feet and didn't dare to look around, for fear that Yan Baiqing would notice something unusual.
Eliminating the Meng Party is a secret operation. The orders from above do not allow it to become a big deal. For a figure like Minister Zhang, they are even more cautious in their ambush. If the information is leaked, the subsequent workload will be too heavy.
Once on board, the staff handed Zhao Ming a uniform and a key, and said in a businesslike manner, "Your luggage."
Chen Qing took a quick look and saw that the key looked unusual, probably a safe or something like that.
Zhao Ming took advantage of her inattention and leaned over to whisper to her, "Miss Chen, we will go our separate ways from now on. Best wishes to you."
Chen Qing nodded, turned around, and followed the staff out of the cabin.
She walked very slowly, so slowly that the man behind her urged her on.
"Sorry." Chen Qing smiled at him, "My legs are weak."
"Hurry up, it's not good to delay for too long."
She picked up the pace a little, then slowed down again.
She had no idea how many of Mrs. Chiang's men were on that ship, and how many were arranged by Yan Baiqing. She could only rely on this stupid method to delay and prevent anything from going wrong.
Old Qian remained patient until she slowly walked back to her parking spot. "I'll take you to see Mr. Yan."
"Where are the others?"
"At Huangjia International." Old Qian stared at her. "Something unexpected happened there."
Chen Qing didn't care, thinking that it was some drunken guest who was not to be offended and causing trouble. Yan Baiqing had just taken office, and the social aspect was not as good as before, so he needed to maintain all aspects.
The business world is very cunning, and Mr. Yan, who has a complicated mind, can handle it with ease.
Lao Qian drove back to the city and glanced in the rearview mirror. "Is your injury serious?"
Chen Qing was immersed in thought and didn't come back to his senses, so he shook his head to answer him perfunctorily.
"Take a break. Mr. Yan will blame me soon."
"Zhao Ming is holding me hostage to survive. His business is more important than my life."
Old Qian glanced at the rearview mirror again and replied vaguely, "Don't you know why Mr. Yan didn't come?"
Chen Qing froze for a moment, staring out the window without saying a word.
The green light came on and Lao Qian stepped on the accelerator. At this moment, a black car passed by in the opposite lane.
Chen Qing slowly straightened his back and stared at that place.
"Mr. Jiang is late." Old Qian said calmly, with a hint of a smile, "Maybe he was delayed by something."
