Chapter 291 I Want Chen Qing
The enclosed space was suddenly filled with the sounds of brakes and horns. The white car chased relentlessly, pushing the front of the Tang family's car back several meters.
Chen Qing turned his head to take a look, and patted the driver's seat to remind him, "Behind!"
The bodyguard glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the other party's cars in front and behind.
They had just exited the B2 floor and turned towards the B1 passage. If the other vehicles met them, they would have no advantage at all.
Seeing this situation, he turned the steering wheel hard to the right and rushed out before the white car in front of him surrounded him.
The road support also rushed into the basement at this time, but the road was blocked by the other party, and they had to deal with the other party together with the remaining two cars of the Tang family.
The bodyguard took advantage of the chaos to cut in through the entrance and head towards the highway.
Chen Qing was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when, as he passed the traffic light, he caught a glimpse of a vehicle coming into the right-turn lane in his peripheral vision.
Her eyelids jumped and she saw clearly who was sitting in the car.
…
When Yan Baiqing received the message from Hua Mei, he had been waiting outside the Tang family's old house for twenty minutes.
He stared at the gate of the house and told the driver to pass on the message.
The driver was the one who picked up Yan Baiqing at the airport that day. He was one of Ji Mingyin's thousands of henchmen. He was smart and knew how to speak directly to the point.
Within five minutes, the Tang family servant respectfully invited Yan Baiqing in.
The man was wearing a black coat and looked at his watch. He looked solemn and serious. "The Guan family's flight will land at 11 o'clock. Please rest assured, old lady. It won't take up too much time and delay the meeting between the two families."
The servant's heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to say anything.
Being able to know the whereabouts of the Guan family, this guy came prepared.
Stepping into the central hall, Yan Baiqing nodded slightly, "Old Madam, we meet again."
The Tang family's aunt looked at her closely and lowered her voice, "This is the second time you've come uninvited."
"I thought you wanted to see me." Yan Baiqing took off his coat and gloves and handed them to the servant, then sat down. "A little scoundrel involved in molestation, the Tang family went to great lengths to cover it up, and they still wanted to arrest him. He must be an illegitimate child from some branch, or..." He chuckled, his expression showing no offense at all, "Are you waiting for me to fall into your trap?"
A hint of irritation crossed the aunt's face. "Mr. Yan, I know you're the head of the Yan family now. Even though you don't have your father to discipline you, you shouldn't lose your manners when facing your elders!"
"The eldest son of the Tang family's second branch died young. Even if his widow remarried and stopped interacting with the Tang family, it doesn't mean that outsiders can't find out."
The hall was dead silent.
The head nanny had sent the servants out long ago, leaving her alone, standing there fearfully.
The lady mentioned by Yan Baiqing had some unpleasantness with the Tang family a few years ago due to the custody of their children. However, when she remarried, the Tang family secretly added a generous dowry in the name of the eldest son. Moreover, with this relationship with the Tang family, the man would not look down on her if she married again. Therefore, the two sides have reconciled their past grudges. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the two families have a tacit understanding and did not show it openly.
Over the years, he has done a lot for the Tang family in both official and private matters.
The old lady put down her Buddhist beads and said in a tone that was neither happy nor angry, "He's just a small scoundrel, and he actually made Mr. Yan break into the Tang family alone to ask for someone."
"What's the use of Qi Kai to me?" Yan Baiqing sneered, flipped the tea lid, and slammed it on the table. "Just like that child that Xiao Gongzi couldn't keep, is there any point in being in the Tang family or the Guan family?"
He was so imposing that the aunt suddenly realized something.
The Guan family will be here soon. If she keeps pressing on with the matter, Yan Baiqing will definitely stir up trouble. Even if she gives the Guan family face in person, in the future, if the discord between the Tang and Yan families gets out, the Guan family will always ask the reason.
"If that's all Mr. Yan has to say, you can leave."
Yan Baiqing smiled and shook his head, with a strong wildness rolling in his eyes, "I want Chen Qing."
As expected, my aunt waved her hand and said, "Send the guests out."
"Don't be anxious, old lady. Chen Qing's role is actually the same as Qi Kai's."
She stood up suddenly, and the nanny rushed forward to support her.
Yan Baiqing followed closely, his voice rising. "Whoever Qi Kai is with is like a bomb that might explode at any moment. If the Tang family doesn't clean up the mess, I'll have to clean it up too. Jing Yan probably hinted that Chen Qing shouldn't be wary of me, but Meng Hongwen. Wherever she's with, Meng Hongwen's spies will be there."
There was a strong wind blowing in the courtyard outside the door. The aunt stopped and her face turned pale.
"The Jiang family is already ruined. Is it possible that Old Master Tang's life's work will also be destroyed by him?" Yan Baiqing lowered his eyes, his voice tinged with laughter, "Qing'er went to the hospital, right?"
Her face suddenly turned gloomy and she looked straight at him, "Mr. Yan can't do anything here!"
Yan Baiqing pretended to open his phone and said, "Of course I know."
He stepped back facing forward, his slowness carrying a strong intimidation. "But I only want the person, and Meng Hongwen wants his life. Old Madam, please think carefully before you withdraw your hand."
The wind outside is roaring like a tiger, and the situation inside is tense.
Time passes by every second.
Suddenly, the Buddhist beads hit the ground with a loud bang and broke.
Yan Baiqing raised the corners of his lips, turned around and strode away.
…
At half past eleven, Tang Xiaoming rushed into the front yard, "Where's Chen Qing?"
"Oh my goodness! Please slow down!" The servant and nanny frantically helped him steady himself and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. "Didn't you say you'd be back in two days? Why are you coming back today—"
"I'm asking about Chen Qing!" Tang Xiaoming pushed her away and asked sternly.
The nanny avoided his gaze and twirled her handkerchief. "...The old lady is in the ancestral hall. If you have anything you want to know, you can go and ask her."
Tang Xiaoming immediately ran away.
"Ouch—" the nanny chased after him and advised, "Don't throw a tantrum now. Someone from the Guan family will be here soon. If you make a big fuss, the old man will punish you again!"
Tang Xiaoming ran too fast and the huge group of people behind him couldn't catch up with him.
Rushing to the ancestral hall, he leaned against the door frame and panted, "Did you kick Chen Qing out?"
"Asshole!" Grandma tilted her head, frowning, her face serious. "You've been away for a while, and you've forgotten where you are?"
"Grandma!"
The great-aunt turned and left, saying in a tone that brooked no argument, "Go clean yourself up, you look like a homeless person! Be in the front hall in half an hour to greet the Guan family."
Tang Xiaoming slammed the rosewood door, and the sound was so loud that the servants shivered.
"How are you going to explain this to Jingyan?" He shouted hoarsely, his throat choking with sobs. "How am I going to explain this to him?"
The head nanny walked quickly to his side, patting his back to soothe his breath. "Don't be angry. This is just a last resort for the old lady. As long as the wedding goes smoothly, we won't have to worry about not being able to take Miss Chen back."
"Jingyan's life and death are unknown, and Yan Baiqing's family is the only one in power. He has gone crazy! Do you expect a madman to care about Chen Qing's safety? What's more, she is pregnant with a descendant of the Jiang family. Will he be willing to keep her?" Tang Xiaoming waved his sleeves and ran out angrily.
The head nanny looked at his back, then looked inside the ancestral hall, "This..."
The old aunt closed her eyes, then opened them after a moment. She stumbled forward a few steps, her hands trembling. "Hurry... go! Have someone follow Xiao'er."
Tang Xiaoming drove out of the Tang residence despite being stopped.
At the same time, Yan Baiqing received a call from his bodyguard at the highway exit.
"Mr. Yan, Ji Mingyin is playing tricks on us! He wasn't in that car at all!"
The man looked sinister. He put down the phone and grabbed the driver by the collar. "Where's your boss?"
"I don't...I don't know..."
He was about to explode when his cell phone rang.
It's Huamei.
"Have you picked up Chen Qing?" He suppressed his temper.
There was silence on the other end of the line for a long time. After a few pauses, a voice with a commanding presence spoke, "Bai Qing, it's me."
