Chapter 157 She is cunning
As the car left the Second Ring Road, Yuan Hui calmly analyzed, "I think if you want to find Wei Yin, you might as well find a connection to get her back. Otherwise, she's far away, and if you go there, you never know what shady tricks she might pull."
"Asking her back now would be like telling her directly that the truth has been revealed. Nine hundred kilometers away, we can't reach her. If she escapes, it will be even more difficult to deal with her."
Yuan Hui was stunned. She turned the rearview mirror and looked at the back seat with a puzzled look.
Chen Qing put his index finger to his lips and shook his head.
The carriage suddenly became silent.
Yuan Hui had no idea what had happened. On the day of the ancient town performance, Jiang Jingyan took Chen Qing away in public. She was surprised and had many questions, but she did figure out why Wei Yin had been targeting Chen Qing.
Now that the word 'escape' is used, it is obviously different from before and it is a huge trouble.
Chen Qing asked them to drive the car to the apartment in the city center. Jiang Jingyan said that he wanted to sell the place, but he had not found a buyer yet, so it was just enough for one night.
Yuan Hui sent her boyfriend away and insisted on staying.
"I'm worried about leaving you alone with the mountain eagle."
Daliang paused, his expression a blank stare that was completely inconsistent with his physique. "Are you talking about me?"
Yuan Hui smiled awkwardly, turned her back and said nothing.
The apartment was spotless, with an aunt coming to clean it every day. Some of Chen Qing's daily necessities were still there, having not been moved away in time.
She splashed cold water on her face and closed her eyes to analyze the information she had.
Wei Yin staged and staged a kidnapping, and no matter who looked at it, it was just a trick for the relationship between men and women. With Mrs. Jiang's favor, Wei Liang's diligence was enough to protect the family. Even if Wei Yin's idea of becoming Mrs. Jiang failed, it was not worth it for her to collude with others and frame Jiang Jingyan.
Unless there's a secret to hide, and she needs a reliable backer, the Jiang family is unreliable. Mrs. Jiang might tolerate other things, but she can't tolerate anything that affects Jiang Zhongyi's reputation and Jiang Jingyan's reputation. She knows she's violated Mrs. Jiang's taboo, so this backer can easily cover up her secret. A wise bird chooses its tree. She pretends to want to get close to the Jiang family, but in reality, she chooses someone else to work with.
Chen Qing threw down the towel. The face in the mirror looked pale and helpless, as if a huge conspiracy was silently seeping out from the corner, enveloping her like a poisonous miasma, leaving no room for escape.
Yuan Hui called her in the bedroom for a long time, but heard no response. She pushed the door open and asked, "Are you okay?"
Chen Qing slowly dried his fingers and suddenly thought of something, "You said before, which theater did Wei Yin debut in?"
"Big Red Gate."
"Why weren't you there anymore?"
"I don't know." Yuan Hui leaned against the door frame. "It seems she had a conflict with a senior. It was quite serious. The boss couldn't keep her."
Chen Qing suddenly realized that if Wei Yin offended a senior in the theater, as long as the other party had some qualifications, she would be semi-banned. She stayed in school for graduate studies, and her teachers and classmates praised her to the top. How could she be willing to go back in disgrace? That's why she tried every means to join the association.
"Your boyfriend knows a lot of people, can you help me get some inside information?"
Yuan Hui didn't ask any more questions and just typed on her phone.
Daliang was watching videos on the sofa. Chen Qing walked over and asked, "How much do you know about the accomplice who was arrested in the kidnapping case?"
"I have met his brother, but I was placed in the dark."
Her eyelids twitched.
Daliang is no ordinary thug and can immediately focus on the key points.
"Take this." Chen Qing stuffed a card into his hand and said, "Tell his brother to leave tonight and go to Yundeng Village to do something for me."
"In what name?"
"He'll know when he gets here."
Daliang stood up, nodded, and went to prepare.
In the second half of the night, Yuan Hui's boyfriend finally sent her a message, two full pages, which made her dizzy.
After a long moment, she sighed, "Wei Yin is so cruel. That senior fell from the second floor of the theater and is now in a vegetative state. He hasn't woken up yet."
Chen Qing's heart was pounding and he took out his cell phone.
Wei Yin and the senior had been having conflicts for a long time. At first, she was very tolerant and gave him enough face. Later, the senior became more aggressive and designed to prevent her from going on stage again and again. So she started to fight back, and the two sides fought fiercely.
The rest of the people in the theater were just watching the fun and did not try to stop it until they found out that the senior had not been to work for a week. A cleaner said that she fell from the second floor after the performance. The theater urgently cordoned off the scene and no news was heard.
As to why the senior went to the audience after the performance, there was no way of knowing. It was just that everyone's eyes on Wei Yin became more and more explicit, which made her unable to bear the pressure. She got angry and hit someone backstage, and the matter became a big deal.
However, the final explanation given by the theater leaders was that it was a minor conflict between the actors, and it ended with Wei Yin's voluntary resignation.
Chen Qing went to the official website of Dahongmen Theater and found the announcement. The person who issued it was none other than Director Liu, who had secretly taken the photo of her and Yan Baiqing.
Director Liu has evil intentions and will not let anyone who has leverage over the actresses go.
From this, it can be seen that the person Wei Yin really wants to get close to is Yan Baiqing.
Chen Qing had only suspected it before, but now that it was confirmed, a trace of melancholy flashed through his heart.
What Mrs. Jiang said to her showed that she was afraid that Jiang Jingyan would have a head-on conflict with Yan Baiqing, but she didn't know that the latter had already begun to lay a tight net.
…
At four o'clock in the morning, a woman sneaked into the Yan family's house. The servant opened the back door for her and looked around.
It was a damp and dewy time of year. The woman took off her coat while going upstairs and headed straight for Yan Baiqing's bedroom.
"Mr. Yan." She knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The man was wearing a bathrobe with loose ties, his chest exposed and slightly flushed, as if he had just come out of the bathroom.
"If you need anything, please come to me in person."
"Chen Qing is no longer at the villa."
Yan Baiqing brought a cup of strong tea, frowning slightly, "When Jingyan is in trouble, how can she sit still? Huamei——"
Hua Mei took the teacup and handed over the handkerchief, "Your orders."
"If it were me who got into trouble today." He didn't say anything else, but laughed, "You forgot, your heart is with the teacher."
Hua Mei shuddered and looked at him, "I have been following you from the beginning to the end."
Yan Baiqing narrowed his eyes, "Really?"
The room was eerily quiet. Hua Mei could smell his scent with every breath she took. She was so nervous that her scalp and back were numb and twitching.
"I believe you." The man's dull voice fell from above. "No matter who you choose in the end, I will remember the kindness we have shown you over the years."
She curled her fingers slightly, trying to suppress her trembling. Yan Baiqing's fingertips brushed her face lightly, bringing with them a strong, intense feeling of masculine aggression.
In just a second, he stopped.
"Who did Qing'er go down the mountain to look for?"
Hua Mei calmed down and said, "I don't know. The villa is full of people from the Tang family. We can't get in, so I didn't notice it."
"Tang Xiaoming wouldn't dare let her go at this time." Yan Baiqing smiled faintly, but one could see a hint of doting in him. "Qing'er was cunning. She hid it from you and him as well."
