Chapter 263 Missing My Daughter
Duanmu Lin: "Your loyalty is truly touching, but do you know that by doing this you will not only fail to help him but will also get yourself into trouble? Do you think I can't see that? Do you have the guts to do something like kidnapping his sister to fight the general?"
Qiu Shanhe: "It's useless to say anything at this point. It's better to think about how to solve the problem!"
Duanmu Lin: "You are the ones who caused the disaster, and you have to clean up your own mess. At worst, when you are unable to resolve Hongtai's wrath, I will selflessly hand you over and be done with it."
Qiu Shanhe: "Master Duanmu, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter for you properly."
Duanmu Lin: "Just don't let me down when the time comes."
He patted Qiu Shanhe on the shoulder and said in his ear, "You are braver than my son. I like you." Then he disappeared into the villa.
At this time, Duanmu Jin and Qiu Shanhe dared to sit on the sofa.
Qiu Shanhe: "I finally understand why you are so afraid of your father. He is really chilling!"
Duanmu Jin: "Is your face okay?"
Qiu Shanhe: "It's okay. A real man can bend and stretch. Taking a punch is nothing."
Duanmu Jin: "I didn't expect to implicate you."
Qiu Shanhe: "You're still saying this now. I volunteered to participate in this and I don't blame anyone."
Duanmu Jin: "It's rare that you still maintain such an optimistic attitude. What should we do next? My father is a man of his words. He is ruthless in his actions. If he says he will hand us over, he will hand us over. If Hongtai finds out that we are lying to him, I'm afraid..."
Qiu Shanhe: "Then let's strike first. I want to make sure he loses his power by then. Then he will be helpless against us."
Duanmu Jin: "Can you tell me about your plan?"
Qiu Shanhe: "Put your ear over here."
Duanmu Jin shook his head and said, "It's too risky, but now we can only take a gamble!"
Qiu Shanhe and Duanmu Jin got into the car and drove to Aqili's troops under Hongtai's jurisdiction.
On the road, Qiu Shanhe seemed to be looking at the beautiful scenery outside the car window casually, but in fact he was full of worries.
"Duanmu Jin, I'll be able to go in by myself when we get to the army. If I don't come out in an hour, drive back quickly and don't worry about me anymore."
Duanmu Jin looked at him sideways: "You really don't want me to go with you? After all, I am Duanmu Lin's son, and he will at least give my father some face."
Qiu Shanhe: "If this guy gets mad, he'll even kill his own people. He won't care who you are, let alone whose son you are. You may have fanned the flames of this, but I started the fire, so let me handle it!"
Duanmu Jin didn't say anything else and just concentrated on driving his car.
When they were about a hundred meters away from the army, Duanmu Jin stopped the car. The moment Qiu Shanhe opened the car door, Duanmu Jin pulled him back.
"Please explain your final arrangements or last words so that you won't have any regrets."
Qiu Shanhe: "If something really happened to me, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to find my remains. It's best to avoid funeral arrangements if possible. As for my last words! I have one regret, which is that I haven't had the chance to confess my feelings to your sister. But if something really happened to me, I'm afraid she'd be heartbroken if she knew. So you'd better not tell her the truth. But I hope that since she's called you brother for so many years, please don't let anyone bully her. Take good care of her and help her find a good family to marry."
Duanmu Jin: "That's it?"
Qiu Shanhe: "That's all. I don't have too many requirements."
Duanmu Jin: "I understand."
Qiu Shanhe opened the car door and headed straight to the army, while Duanmu Jin, who was sitting in the car, felt extremely uneasy.
"A military restricted area is strictly prohibited. Who are you? What are you doing here?" the soldier guarding the gate shouted and pointed a machine gun at him.
Qiu Shanhe: "Relax, brother, I'm here to see your General Hongtai."
"The general didn't say anyone would come to see him today. He doesn't like to be disturbed when he's working. You should make an appointment with the general next time."
Qiu Shanhe stuffed a hundred US dollars into the soldier's hand and said, "Brother, please be flexible! I really need to talk to your general about something. If the general finds out that you've missed an important event, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself!"
The soldier quickly put the money in his trouser pocket and said, "That's more like it. What you said makes sense. What's your name? I'll go and inform the general and see if he wants to see you."
Qiu Shanhe: "Just tell him that Qiu Shanhe has important news for him."
The soldier turned and left.
After a while, he came back and said loudly, "Let him go."
He stuffed the money back into Qiu Shanhe's hand and said, "Brother, I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. I might have offended you with my words. I dare not accept this money. When you see the general, don't tell him about this."
Qiu Shanhe: "I understand."
He followed the soldier to General Hongtai's office, and then the man closed the door and left.
Hongtai smiled and said, "They didn't give you any trouble just now, did they?"
Qiu Shanhe: "No, no, look, didn't he bring me up here?"
Hongtai: "You don't need to speak for them. I know my people best. How much money did you give them?"
Qiu Shanhe: "It's not much. It's only due for running errands. But after they knew I was the general's friend, they didn't dare to accept it."
Hongtai: "Are you here to see me for news about Rongrong?"
Qiu Shanhe: "Yes, Rongrong refused to eat after she was arrested. Only after I persuaded her did she eat a few bites."
Hongtai: "Where is she now?"
Qiu Shanhe: "She is in Baixue Manor now."
He turned on his phone and played a clip of himself and Duanmu Rong playing and joking in Baixue Manor for Hongtai.
Hongtai looked at it once, but it wasn't enough. He looked at it several times before returning the phone to Qiu Shanhe. At the end, he asked, "Do you have any more?"
Qiu Shanhe: "No, they are keeping a close eye on Rongrong now. I secretly filmed this video when they weren't paying attention. They simply don't treat Rongrong as a human being."
Hongtai was so angry that he slammed his palm hard on the rosewood table.
"Let's go and blow up that Snow White Manor now."
"General, don't be impulsive. This will kill Rongrong." Qiu Shanhe hurriedly grabbed Hongtai.
"They hid Rongrong in the basement. If there's any movement outside, they'll immediately kill her or move her somewhere else. Then they'll torture her even more severely, and we might lose track of her forever. Is this what you want to see?"
Hongtai slapped his head and said, "Why didn't I think of this? What on earth does Duanmu Lin want to do? Why did he take Rongrong away?"
Qiu Shanhe: "He's doing this to get revenge on you."
Hongtai: "Didn't he know about this a long time ago? Why is he attacking Rongrong now? After all, she's the daughter he's called dad for over a decade. Even if she's not his biological daughter, he still has some feelings for her! We agreed that adults' affairs shouldn't involve children. Is he really a cold-blooded animal who would sacrifice his daughter just to kill me for his own benefit?"
