Li Ying glanced at Zhou Qi's awkward expression and smiled lightly, "Zhou Qi, are you worried that I'll go and save Hua Qingqing?"
“Miss Ying, I understand your friendship with Hua Qingqing, but as your bodyguard, I only care about your safety. I don’t care about anyone else. You asked me to investigate, and I can investigate, but I think you should stay out of this matter!” Zhou Qi spoke such a long sentence for the first time, and it took him a while to finish speaking before he stood still with his hands at his sides.
Li Ying found it amusing. "I asked you to help me investigate, not that I would definitely go myself."
"But last time..."
Ying went by herself that time, Lu Xingzhou.
Li Ying smiled calmly: "I understand Lu Xingzhou's character. I know he won't touch me until he gets the results, so I'm very confident I can escape. But right now, I don't know who kidnapped Hua Qingqing. I won't take risks with people I don't understand."
Zhou Qi was finally relieved.
"That's good."
"Still not going to talk?"
"Oh, I found out. Hua Qingqing was taken to a swamp in Yanshan. It's very dangerous there. A research team went there to explore before, but none of them came out." Zhou Qi had to let Li Ying know how dangerous the place was so that she would take it seriously.
"I see."
If the other party can't get the formula from Hua Qingqing, they will definitely try to get it from her.
"Zhou Qi, go and tell Ye Wenchi this news."
Li Ying's eyes were deep. Since the other party was not moving, she would stir up trouble and lure them out.
"good!"
"Wait, after you leave the Ye family, go to the police station and tell Tong Danian this information. Tell him to dispatch officers immediately and get there before the other side makes a move," Li Ying instructed.
"Yes, Miss Ying!"
Zhou Qi immediately went to handle the matter.
Li Ying tapped the book on her lap with her fingers intermittently.
Although this is a bit risky, it's better than waiting indefinitely.
Swamps are rarely accessible, so the fact that the other party can go there means they are familiar with the terrain. Therefore, we have no choice but to let them lead the way.
Li Ying smelled the tobacco in the air, got up and went out into the yard. Sure enough, she saw Ye Jingchi leaning lazily against the car in the distance, a cigarette between his fingers, puffing out smoke.
Upon seeing Li Ying, Ye Jingchi subconsciously stubbed out his cigarette and was about to step forward when a soldier ran up to him.
"Reporting to the commander, we've made a new discovery!"
Ye Jingchi glanced at Li Ying from afar, then turned and got into the car.
After the car drove away, Li Ying returned to the courtyard and sat down.
"Sister Yingying, I saw Ye Jingchi's car. Is he here to apologize to you?" Lu Qingwan carried a lot of things into the yard and asked in a chattering voice.
"No, he was probably just passing by."
Lu Qingwan pouted: "Just passing by? I think he's just pretending not to know you, but he still wants to see you."
Li Ying chuckled: "It seems Ye Jingchi's disguise isn't very good."
"He's not good at pretending! But I suspect he might still have some poison in his body. Yingying, just wait and see, he'll definitely come back to you!"
Will it?
From initial anticipation to current peace, Li Ying no longer harbors any unrealistic expectations.
As long as Ye Jingchi is alright, as long as everyone is alright, it doesn't matter whether we're together or not.
Thinking about it this way, Li Ying still felt that her heart wasn't completely with Ye Jingchi, but that's normal, isn't it? Once in love is enough for a person.
Zhou Qi went to the Ye family to tell them about Hua Qingqing's situation, and then went to the police station.
This made the other party uneasy.
Ye Jingchi's men, in coordination with Tong Danian, followed the other party into the Yanshan Swamp.
In the center of the swamp was a patch of wasteland with hard mud, on which a small wooden cabin had been built.
Hua Qingqing was locked in a small wooden house, her hands and feet completely bound.
These days she has been thinking about one question: who is trying to kidnap her?
After thinking it over and over, I still couldn't figure out who hated her so much.
Hearing footsteps, Hua gently raised her eyelids and looked over, only to see Ye Wenchi.
"Wen Chi, you've come to save me?" Hua Qingqing was overwhelmed with excitement.
"Qingqing, I'm not here to save you. I just want to know the recipe Li Ying gave you."
Hua Qingqing was stunned. So it turned out that the person who kidnapped her to get the formula was Ye Wenchi.
She said that the reason she was suddenly tied up was that she had mentioned the ointment formula that Li Ying had given her that night, and the other party wanted to get the formula, so they kidnapped her.
This is the person who has shared a bed with me for so many years!
"Ye Wenchi, why? Why is this happening?" Hua Qingqing couldn't understand.
Ye Wenchi was really good to her, exceptionally good. When her family opposed her acting, it was Ye Wenchi who supported and encouraged her, even severing ties with the Hua family to marry her.
I never imagined it was all a lie!
"Hua Qingqing, I really like you, but you don't trust me at all. I asked you for Li Ying's formula, and you wouldn't even give it to me?"
Hua smiled bitterly. Was she unwilling to give it to him? She hadn't even gotten the formula herself, so what could she give him?
Fortunately, Ye didn't get it; otherwise, he would probably have been silenced long ago.
"Ye Wenzhi, you have disappointed me greatly!"
"Disappointed? Yes, I'm disappointed too!" Ye Wenchi stepped forward and grabbed Hua Qingqing's neck, her slender, fair skin immediately turning red.
"Hua Qingqing, I am the one who will bring you wealth and prosperity, so why are you guarding that formula and refusing to give it to me?"
