Chapter 268 You Give Way to Senior Brother
Yan Baiqing waited for two full hours three kilometers away from the entrance of Wuhen Village.
After finishing his call, Lao Qian returned to the car. "Our people have arrived. Boss Song's henchmen said he has an important guest today and is not available."
"Distinguished guest?"
"This Song guy is so shameless." He was angry and disdainful. "He really thinks he's a local tyrant. I'll have someone tie him up and bring him to you!"
Yan Baiqing leaned against the back seat, his emotions calm. "You kidnapped him? The people here respect him, not for the money in his pocket. Besides, the terrain in Wuhen Village is complicated. Even if we chase him to the neighboring villages or cities, they are all under his control."
"But he's just putting on airs to lure us!"
The dim street lights could not illuminate the man's expression. Suddenly, a beam of car light penetrated from the left, reflecting in Yan Baiqing's eyes, stirring up a blood-red color.
Old Qian was shocked and quickly got into the car and locked it.
He was extremely alert and stared at the car.
What Yan Baiqing said just now reminded him that people like Boss Song were accustomed to using some low-level hooligan methods. If a fight broke out, they would not have the advantage in numbers.
The two of them stared intently at that place, and the car lights never turned off, until a figure walked up to the car against the light.
Light and darkness intertwined, Yan Baiqing's brows darkened, and he lowered the car window, "Jingyan, what are you doing?"
Jiang Jingyan, cigarette in hand, wore only a shirt with three buttons undone. The temperature in Wuhen Village was relatively low, and the wind blew a red tinge to his collarbone, revealing his domineering aura.
He leaned against the car, and his voice drifted into the car, "Huangjia International is in a hurry, and you still have the mind to come on vacation."
"Isn't it the same for you?" Yan Baiqing stood still, tapping his fingers on his knees. "The Jiang family is in turmoil, and Huasheng is in turmoil. It seems that the trouble you are facing is quite serious. Besides, what does Huangjia International have to do with me?"
Lao Qian looked in the rearview mirror, not daring to breathe.
Jiang Jingyan laughed, his cigarette ash falling. He brushed off his trousers and said in a tone that was neither male nor female, "You are quite patient."
"Have you met Qing'er?" Yan Baiqing changed the subject. He was not worried about Huangjia International because Huamei could hold on for a while, and it would be enough for Minister Zhang to be ready.
He pushed the door open and got out of the car, standing side by side with Jiang Jingyan. "Have you taken a look at Qing'er's medical examination report?"
Jiang Jingyan stubbed out his cigarette and lit another one, his tone low and menacing, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Yan Baiqing said nothing, flicking open the metal cap of his lighter to light a cigarette. "Old Director Yan has been taken away, right?" Jiang Jingyan tilted his head, his tone meaningful. "Meng Hongwen is holding your mother hostage, and you've reached the limit of your patience and are planning to use Chen Qing against him. Yan Baiqing, I've told you before, you can't defeat Meng Hongwen's schemes."
"Where did you hear that gossip? My mother is fine in the hospital."
He stood up straight, holding a cigarette between his fingers and approaching Yan Baiqing, "With me here, you can't take away the people in Boss Song's hands, and Chen Qing can't be your stepping stone."
The scorching smoke burned Yan Baiqing's eyes red. His face was calm, but the spark in his pupils made him look particularly cruel.
Jiang Jingyan smiled disdainfully. He had indeed been right. Yan Baiqing's initial plan had been to completely cut ties with Meng Hongwen, clear the Yan family's name, and then have Li Xiangli and Chen Qing bring all the evidence to denounce Meng Hongwen.
For someone with outstanding achievements like Meng Hongwen, the superiors will be extremely cautious when handling the case. The requirements for the chain of evidence are more stringent than other cases, and the results will be disappointing.
However, the Chen family's old case had a huge impact on society. It was known to almost everyone at the time. Once it was made public, Meng Hongwen would definitely fall.
Liang Jing and the others didn't understand why Jiang Jingyan wanted to settle the Chen family case before eliminating the Meng Party. In fact, it was because he saw through Yan Baiqing's thoughts.
For so long, all the details and loopholes concerning Meng Hongwen had been deliberately overlooked by Yan Baiqing, including the driver, Zhao Ming. Otherwise, Chen Qing and Mrs. Jiang wouldn't have been able to work so well together. He intended to gradually control Meng Hongwen's power, then have the Chen family's orphan overturn the case. Meng Hongwen would undoubtedly fight back, suppress him, or even silence him, thus completely exposing him.
Meng Hongwen would not suspect that Yan Baiqing was up to something, and he might even be willing to hand over his network of influence in order for him to protect himself. In the end, Yan Baiqing would be left unscathed and would sit firmly in the position of chairman of Yan's Group.
The reputation of "killing relatives for the sake of justice" sounds like praise, but it is actually very controversial in the circle, especially in the business world.
Yan Baiqing never thought of exposing Meng Hongwen himself. He wanted to hide in the dark, watch the game, and reap the benefits.
Suddenly, Lao Qian got out of the car and interrupted respectfully, "Mr. Yan, your phone is on the line."
Yan Baiqing glanced at him and walked aside to pick up the phone.
It was a call from the provincial department. Old Qian was uneasy and waited behind him. He caught a glimpse of Jiang Jingyan's calm and composed look, and his heart sank.
The call was not long. Yan Baiqing responded with a few words in a gentle manner, then turned around and opened the car door.
Jiang Jingyan grabbed his arm with a fierce grip, his voice hoarse, "You have no idea what kind of trouble this will bring to her. If the Meng Party is not completely eliminated, she will become the target of public criticism."
Yan Baiqing pushed him aside, his shoulder against his, "So, being the wife of the chairman of Yan Corporation is enough to keep her safe for the rest of her life."
Jiang Jingyan's face was extremely sinister.
"Wu doesn't care about death?" Yan Baiqing chuckled, full of sarcasm. "You fought bloody battles for half your life, and what did you get in return? What can your principles and your beliefs give her?"
Their eyes met, and he put on a gentle facade once again. "Ever since we fought, whether it was strategy or winning or losing, I've given you a lot. This time, you give me some ground."
The cell phone rang again.
Lao Qian urged, "Mr. Yan, it's time to go."
Yan Baiqing stepped back, brushed the wrinkles on his sleeves, and got into the car indifferently.
…
After Chen Qing returned to the hotel, he took out the pregnancy test stick hidden in the compartment of his suitcase.
This was bought during the blunder at the beginning of the year. It is hidden and not easy to be found.
She knew whether she was pregnant or not, she just needed to see it for herself.
Looking at the pregnancy test stick on the sink, Chen Qingxin felt panicky.
After waiting for a while, she nervously paced inside and out, folding clothes and putting away makeup, trying to distract herself.
After finishing everything she could do, she glanced subconsciously and the toiletry bag in her hand fell, and the bottles and jars she had just packed scattered all over the floor from the zipper.
Chen Qing closed his eyes and opened them again.
The white tiles were harsh against the light pole in the bathroom.
Two bars...
She raised it tremblingly, and after confirming that she was not mistaken, she wrapped it with thick cotton pads and put it back into the compartment of the suitcase. But then she felt it was not appropriate, so she stuffed it deep into the niche behind the TV.
