Chapter 300 Game
"What do you mean..." Chen Qing was about to retreat when the man pulled her back. A few raindrops fell on her back, making her shiver with cold.
"I asked the bodyguards at Zhong'an Mansion." Yan Baiqing stared into her eyes, as if gazing deep into them. "Before Ji Mingyin sent the message to Lao Qian, you were with him."
Chen Qing supported his waist and abdomen and pushed, like a solid wall. The temperature today was in the single digits, and he felt very hot all over.
"Your mother arranged for me to take his car," she explained tremblingly. "I know Ji Mingyin better than you do. If I had a choice, I would walk down the mountain rather than take his car."
Yan Baiqing laughed out of place. "Walking down the mountain? I've seen your results. You failed the physical exam, but suddenly passed the make-up exam. Did you find someone to take the exam for you?"
"I did." She admitted honestly.
Jiang Jingyan and Mrs. Luo were both aware of this matter. Mrs. Luo didn't say anything, but Jiang Jingyan laughed at her for a long time and ordered Lian Zhuo to take her for exercise during the holidays and not to allow her to take shortcuts.
"Qing'er, you're brave enough to admit your actions and cheat. Are you willing to admit playing tricks on Ji Mingyin?"
Yan Baiqing held Chen Qing's waist tightly and refused to let go. She became stubborn and twisted her body to break free. "You are surrounded by people who play tricks, and the best one is Ji Mingyin. Can I beat him?"
"After you met with Ji Mingyin, he agreed to reveal Meng Hongwen's plan to me." Yan Baiqing simply said bluntly, "Old Qian didn't have time to explain the pros and cons. Why did he suddenly agree?
"Maybe he feels that betraying you will lead to bad consequences, so he's just being nice."
He laughed again, his tone meaningful, "Now that you know he betrayed me, you've talked a lot."
"Ji Mingyin has close ties with that lecherous uncle of the Guan family, and then you showed up at the Tang family. I could have guessed that," Chen Qing said in a displeased tone. "In Zhounan, didn't you and Hua Mei team up to send me to Boss Mu to lure him into the trap? I told you, I know him better than you do. He was the one who set up the orphan training class at Qingyoufuyuan, and even after it was exposed, we couldn't catch him. I knew then that he wasn't someone who would be easily controlled. It was useless for Meng Hongwen to win him over, and the same goes for you."
Yan Baiqing was standing against the light, his face dark and unclear.
The incident Chen Qing mentioned is still a thorn in his heart, and it is also the first thing he regrets.
"That time, I explained to you that I was upstairs. If Boss Mu succeeded, I would definitely save you."
Chen Qing said nothing.
After this interruption, Yan Baiqing lost interest in asking further questions. He used his arms to forcefully guide her into the house. "Qing'er, I do have my own goals, but when it comes to you, I'm confident I can achieve both."
Chen Qing's heart was pounding and he uttered a vague "hmm".
Yan Baiqing's suspicion was not entirely unfounded. She did have ulterior motives when she said those words to Ji Mingyin. It was not only to induce him to exchange information with Yan Baiqing, but more importantly, to reveal Yan Weilan's whereabouts to Meng Hongwen.
Meng Hongwen's house arrest of Yan Weilan was nothing more than a check and balance on Yan Baiqing. Ji Mingyinruo understood what she said, and also knew what it meant for the two hostages in Meng Hongwen's hands to suddenly escape.
Therefore, Chen Qing was certain that when Ji Mingyin defected to Yan Baiqing, he would definitely provide an opening for Meng Hongwen, and he might even try to curry favor with Mrs. Jiang.
The more intense the fight between dragons and tigers, the easier it is for him to escape.
Chen Qing wanted to take a gamble, betting that Yan Baiqing would win in this game where Meng Hongwen was going all out.
Only if he wins can she return to the Jiang family alive.
…
Ten o'clock in the evening, at Jiang's house.
As soon as Jiang Jingyan entered the room, Tang Xiaoming staggered down the stairs with tears rolling down his eyes.
"Jingyan!" He rushed over with his arms wide open, holding on to her and refusing to let go.
Jiang Jingyan had no choice but to drag him towards the sofa, pried his arms apart, bent his knees, pressed his hips and pushed him aside, "Get out, my sister-in-law is here, hug me?"
Guan Zhijin raised his eyebrows silently and sat down.
Tang Xiaoming glanced at her, leaning in the corner of the sofa, wiping his eyes, "You didn't even come to me first after you were alive, and I was still in mourning after you died - no, in mourning."
"My grandson should observe the mourning period." Jiang Jingyan smiled and tilted his head. "Is it your intention that the Guan family and Yan Baiqing go against each other?"
"It's Miss Guan who enjoys helping others."
He was stunned and looked at Guan Zhijin.
Guan Zhijin crossed her legs, her expression relaxed. "The heir of the Tang family was murdered, this is what I should do. Besides, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xiao have a deep affection for each other—" Her eyes played with playfulness, and then she returned to seriousness in an instant. "Mr. Jiang's woman was kidnapped, so I should also do my part."
Jiang Jingyan narrowed his eyes.
Tang Xiaoming straightened his clothes, "Um... Yan Baiqing came to our house to threaten my aunt, and my aunt had no choice but to let him take Qing'er away."
"She's in Meng Hongwen's hands." Jiang Jingyan's brows were dark. "Zheng Yuan's subordinates saw it with their own eyes."
Tang Xiaoming was shocked. "Are the father and son at odds, or are they collaborating?"
Guan Zhijin interrupted, "How much of Yan's network of connections in the Greater Bay Area has Mr. Jiang uncovered?"
"Seventy percent."
"It just happened by chance," she laughed. "The dispute between Meng Hongwen and the Yan family might not be that simple. Two branches of the Yan family have been missing since coming to the mainland. They seem a bit like someone's spies."
Jiang Jingyan rested his elbows on the armrests, tapping his knuckles intermittently. "Are they the two directors who held a meeting to denounce Yan Baiqing and managed the group's affairs for him?"
"You know?"
"Yeah." He took a sip of tea. "Before the incident at the dock, I had just started investigating. Although I didn't have time to investigate in detail, I can basically conclude that it was Meng Hongwen who bribed him. I'm afraid Yan Baiqing himself is not aware of this."
Tang Xiaoming sighed, "No wonder, I've already done some research, these two old guys are incredibly quiet, it doesn't seem like the style Yan Weilan trained them to be."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang was supported by the servants and came in from the backyard.
After learning that Jiang Jingyan was in trouble, she cried all day long, the hair around her temples turned gray, and she looked ten years older.
"One good news and one bad news." Although Mrs. Jiang missed her son very much, she was extremely serious when she spoke.
Everyone in the room was waiting for her next words.
"The good news is that Meng Hongwen has secretly returned to his lair, and Yan Baiqing's men are preparing to encircle and suppress him."
Jiang Jingyan's body, which was stuck in the sofa, slowly stiffened, his eyes were dark, as if filled with horrifying waves.
Tang Xiaoming asked anxiously, "What about the bad news?"
"The information was sent by Chen Qing." Mrs. Jiang placed her phone on the coffee table. The text message on the screen showed that it was sent five minutes ago. "Before, you tried your best to stop me, so I could only secretly teach her a few important codes. It was definitely her."
Jiang Jingyan stared at the pile of garbled code motionlessly.
The severe pain in his chest came again, but he endured it and thought quickly.
Tang Xiaoming chattered non-stop, "Meng Hongwen returned to his lair, and she should have been with him. The fact that he was able to send out intelligence means that he is fine. This shouldn't be bad news!"
Mrs. Jiang ignored him and stared ahead. "Jingyan, what do you think?"
The living room was silent.
Jiang Jingyan thought of the phone call with Yan Baiqing. The music that appeared in the middle of the call was abrupt and strange.
"Where was the last address for the number I sent you?"
Tang Xiaoming said seriously, "Zhongyue Winery is close to the coastline, with convenient waterways. The nearest airport is halfway across the province. Jingyan, it's a good place to escape the country."
Jiang Jingyan's solar plexus was beating non-stop.
Guan Zhijin reacted instantly, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, Yan Baiqing will not give up the Yan Group. Within one day, I will force him to show up."
"The Guan family will get into trouble."
She stood up and said goodbye. "I promised Master Xiao to save people, and I can't go back on my word. Leave the easy ones to me, and Mr. Jiang, you have to keep Zhou Nan, the difficult one, steady, otherwise I can't guarantee it will work."
Tang Xiaoming looked a little uncomfortable, and after a while hesitating, he caught up with her, "I'll go with you!"
After the two left, Mrs. Jiang asked the nanny to cook ginseng soup.
"Recharge your energy." She sat down opposite Jiang Jingyan, "Bring Qing'er back safely."
