“A friend of mine.”
Qin Bai pressed further, "Does your family have a powerful background?"
Jade nodded and said, "She is indeed a young lady from a large family. I don't know how she heard about your arrest, but she keeps asking if you are still alive."
Do you know who contacted her?
"I asked her about it, and she was a bit hesitant. It was a man, so I guess he's having some difficulties. I think his surname is..."
Jade thought for a moment: "His surname is He."
"What?" Qin Bai suddenly stood up.
"Is his name He Tiancheng?"
"Yes, yes, that's the name."
Boiling Sheep and Qin Bai exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's expressions.
The situation became even more unpredictable, completely beyond expectations.
The seven paintings that don't exist, He Lingyu's inaction, and now He Tiancheng is saving Qin Bai?
What exactly is going on?
Qin Bai gave a wry smile. He had always thought that he had reached the level of a capitalist and could also play with people's psychology.
Now it seems...
He's just a slightly wealthier cattle or horse.
It's insignificant compared to power.
Jade looked at the two of them, puzzled: "Are you in some kind of trouble? Do you need my help?"
Boiling Sheep sighed: "Qin, can we tell her about this?"
"Okay, she's already our friend. You two chat, I'm going to take a walk."
Qin Bai got up and walked towards the balcony.
Open the window.
Sunlight glides across the side of the face, usually shrouded in shadow.
Qin Bai rubbed his temples wearily.
It's really too brain-teasing.
He took out his phone, found Liu Yue's contact information, and dialed it.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off. The number is..."
Qin Bai pressed the hang-up button.
Find Feng Yaoyao's contact information.
The same answer came through the receiver.
Qin Bai's first reaction was that Liu Yue was being controlled by someone?
He quickly rejected that answer.
In today's society, few people would be crazy enough to cross the line with the children of high-ranking officials, especially those from such families.
so.
They are hiding from themselves.
Or rather...
Qin Bai's gaze fell on Jade, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Surveillance.
That should be correct.
While in Kyoto, there were many things that neither Liu Yue nor He Lingyi could say.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
So they came here to find the answers.
That should be it.
Otherwise, the current situation would be impossible to explain.
Having figured this out, Qin Bai's face regained its composure.
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.
He strode back to the living room: "Have you explained everything?"
"Have you finished talking? What came to mind?" The completely different expression made Fei Yangyang realize something.
“That’s right.” Qin Bai turned to Jade: “Do me a favor.”
"Tell me, there's nothing I can't do here."
"Help me catch this guy. His name is He Tiancheng. Be quick. I saw him on the high-rise building next to the square earlier. He shouldn't have gone far yet."
Qin Bai handed her He Tiancheng's photo.
Jade glanced at it: "No problem, give me half an hour."
She turned and walked outside.
Qin Bai called out from behind, "Don't hurt him, I need to find out some things from him."
“No problem.” Jade gave an OK sign.
Boiling Sheep asked, "What's going on? Why would He Tiancheng ask someone to save you?"
"Heh, if I'm not mistaken, he didn't steal any paintings at all; it was all just a setup for me."
"No way, they would dare to rip you off in a place like this? Don't forget, this is my territory."
Qin Bai laughed and said, "That's why they chose the Duchy of Lambo as the location. They just didn't expect Jade to have this connection with you."
Boiling Sheep frowned slightly: "After going through all this trouble, what are they after?"
"No rush, we'll know the answer in a bit."
Qin Bai tilted his head back, closed his eyes to rest, and a confident smile reappeared on his lips.
More than 20 minutes later.
Jade returned to the office: "He Tiancheng has been caught. Luckily you told me in time, otherwise he would have boarded a plane to leave here."
Qin Bai stood up: "Where is he?"
"Should we go see the prison now?"
"Let's go."
The three filed in single file, got into the car, and headed towards the prison.
Walking into this place again, Qin Bai felt a pang of emotion.
This feeling is completely different from what I felt a few hours ago.
He was a prisoner back then, but now he's become a judge.
That's why people say connections are the real currency in this world.
Upon arriving at the cell door, Qin Bai peered inside through the window.
A young man sat on the edge of the bed with a worried look on his face, the handcuffs and shackles clanging against each other.
Qin Bai now believed Jade's words; this woman truly had no intention of harming him, at least not like He Tiancheng was being treated this way.
The sound of the prison door opening made He Tiancheng feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy. He stood up alertly, his muscles tense.
After arriving here, he heard rumors about the prison: those who could walk out of it were either rich or powerful, and dying without paying a huge ransom was a pipe dream.
For some unknown reason, Lambo's men went to the airport to arrest him.
