Qiao Wanwan sneered, "I'm not your go-between. I don't want to relay your message. If you're still a man, you should say these things to her face. Let's part ways amicably and let her give up any expectations or hopes she might have for you."
"Xu Lai is a simple and kind person. Even without you, she will meet a good man who truly loves her, unlike you, who can only live in the shadows forever."
"It is precisely because of my darkness that I cannot see her again. If we are going to break up, let's break up cleanly and never see each other again."
"It seems I overestimated you. I originally thought that even if you were a bad person, you would at least be sincere towards Xu Lai and have some sense of responsibility. But clearly, you are not." Qiao Wanwan couldn't contain her anger. "You deceived her from beginning to end, and now you just walk away without even an explanation!"
"You say I lied to her, but what did she lose?" He Songling said disdainfully. "I didn't even touch her."
"Do you still think you're so noble? Should I give you an award?" Qiao Wanwan sneered. "If you're so capable, go say that to her face. I won't be your executioner. If you're already impatient and want to say it now, just go there. My bodyguards will take care of you."
After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.
She was really angry, and it took her a while to calm herself down before she returned to the restaurant with a smile.
After dinner, Zhan Jingting took Qiao Wanwan's hand and went for a walk in the garden.
"Was that He Songling on the phone just now?"
How did you know?
"I can tell from your expression," Zhan Jingting asked with a smile. "What did he say that made you so angry?"
"You can even tell I'm angry?" Qiao Wanwan questioned her existence. "I thought I hid it very well!"
Others may not be able to tell, but I can.
“Yeah, you’re capable of that,” Qiao Wanwan retorted. “He’s sick in the head. He’s irresponsible and wants to break up with Xu Lai, and he wants me to relay the message. Why should I relay it for him?”
Zhan Jingting smiled and said, "You're breaking up with me so quickly, it seems like you really mean it."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"Jingting, what you're saying is contradictory. How can breaking up be equated with being truly in love?"
“Wanwan, you still don’t understand He Songling enough,” Zhan Jingting said. “Since he can’t persuade Xu Lai, it means they can’t be reunited anytime soon. Since he can’t protect Xu Lai closely, he naturally has to find a way to ensure her safety.”
“He knew very well that Xu Lai was the safest person here, but if we released her, she would become more dangerous, because the mastermind might target her to get revenge on He Songling. So he simply cut ties with Xu Lai completely.”
Qiao Wanwan nodded, "As expected, men understand men better. I was too one-sided in my understanding."
Zhan Jingting smiled, "However, if He Songling understands human nature, he should be able to guess that the mastermind behind the scenes won't fall for this. If they really break up, he would probably kill even the dog next to He Songling."
"So, is Xu Lai in danger?"
"Yes, if you don't want anything to happen to her, you'd better not let her leave."
“I have no intention of letting her go,” Qiao Wanwan said. “I’m counting on using her to force He Songling to reveal the mastermind behind it all. How could I possibly let her go so easily?”
"If you want He Songling to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, you can release Xu Lai and lure the mastermind out. Once Xu Lai dies at his hands, He Songling will naturally become his enemy, and then he will have nothing to hide."
"No way." Qiao Wanwan refused without hesitation. "Xu Lai is innocent. If we use her life to achieve our goals, are we even human?"
"Moreover, the mastermind behind this couldn't possibly have overlooked this point, so he might not target Xu Lai, at least not now. He'll probably seek revenge on He Songling after he's dealt with us."
You have a point.
Qiao Wanwan gripped his hand tightly, turned to look at him earnestly, and said, "Jing Ting, even if we achieve our goal, we cannot harm innocent people, because we are different from the mastermind behind the scenes. The one who slays the dragon should not become the dragon itself."
"I understand, I'll listen to you."
The two continued walking, and Qiao Wanwan reminded them, "The two kids have a camping trip this week. They'll be leaving Saturday morning and staying overnight. Please arrange your work to avoid any conflicts."
"good."
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but ask curiously, "I thought you would think it was dangerous and wouldn't let me go."
“The mastermind has already gone into hiding. Even if we risk going back to the capital, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.” Zhan Jingting said with a smile, “Besides, if I dare to go out, I will definitely make arrangements. If he can harm you and the child in the capital, then he is underestimating me.”
Qiao Wanwan smiled brightly, "I think so too."
......
Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.
Eleven and Xiao Jiu got up early to prepare, each carrying a suitcase and a backpack, eager to set off.
Zhan Jingting and Qiao Wanwan quickly got ready, and Zhan Jingting drove directly to Nanshan.
There are thirty students in the class, and when you include the parents, the number of students increases significantly.
Fortunately, the mountain area is quite large, and camping is not concentrated in one area.
Qiao Wanwan looked around, preparing to find a suitable place to pitch her tent.
A moment later, she ran back excitedly, "Jingting, I found a newly built restroom over there, and it looks like there's even a shower room inside, and hot water too! But it's locked."
“I know,” the man who was tidying up his belongings said. “I had someone cover it up.”
Qiao Wanwan: "......???"
