Qin Bai moved a chair and sat opposite He Tiancheng.
"Aren't you afraid I'll take you hostage right now?"
He Tiancheng stood up, stretched his arms and legs, and even showed off his muscles.
Qin Bai looked at him and smiled.
My first impression of him was very good.
He has regular features and an upright demeanor, somewhat like an undercover police officer who has just entered the triads in Hong Kong movies.
You won't do that.
"Ha! Who gave you that confidence?"
"Because I guessed something."
He Tiancheng curled his lips. He really didn't believe it. Those who planned this took several months to formulate the plan. How could he know it after only a few days?
"There were no missing paintings, and you didn't steal anything, right?"
"Holy crap, how did you know?" Qin Bai's eyes narrowed at He Tiancheng's exaggerated expression.
At this moment, the joy I felt was far greater than getting a pentakill in a game.
It's like finding a bright exit in a pitch-black fog.
"Don't forget whose territory this is."
After a few seconds of stunned silence, He Tiancheng slapped his forehead hard.
"Jade told you. She considered all the possibilities, but she didn't expect you to know the person in charge here."
"You were the one who made that call to ask someone to save me, weren't you?"
He Tiancheng, like a wilted eggplant, sat back on the bed, his earlier arrogance vanished by the sense of defeat.
Qin Bai smiled and said, "Can we have an open and honest talk this time?"
"Ask away, I'm here to help you anyway."
"What is your relationship with He Lingyu?"
"We grew up together and call each other brother and sister."
Qin Bai moved closer to He Tiancheng: "Why are you cooperating with me?"
"Find those paintings."
"Hmm? Is there something about paintings involved?"
He Tiancheng said, "Actually, there are indeed 13 national treasure-level paintings. We only found 6 of them. We didn't find the remaining 7. We came here for those paintings."
"In whose hands is it?"
"Bruno".
"Bruno?" Qin Bai searched his memory for the name but couldn't find it.
"No need to think about it. I only found out a few days ago. He is Jade's sworn brother."
Qin Bai raised an eyebrow: "Oh? That's interesting."
He Tiancheng's eyes widened: "You don't know this person either, do you?"
"I don't know him, but his relationship with Jade is quite complicated."
"Can we take advantage of this relationship?"
"I don't know, I need more information to make a guess."
"Leave this to me."
Qin Bai smiled knowingly: "No need for that. Someone will find out for me."
"good."
Qin Bai continued, "Who devised this plan?"
"have no idea."
"Is it that you don't know, or that you can't say?"
He Tiancheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Hehe, I understand. One last question: why was I chosen?"
"President Qin, you think too highly of me. I'm just a pawn scouting ahead. The information I received is to cooperate with you."
Qin Bai nodded.
It seems we won't get much useful information from him; we'll have to ask He Lingyu for the rest.
He stood up and asked, "Do you want to stay here for a few days, or come with me?"
"Isn't that obvious? Who wants to live in prison?"
"Alright, then hand over the ransom." Qin Bai reached into his pocket.
He Tiancheng stared in disbelief at the hand in front of him.
"Qin Bai, are you kidding me? I came here to help you."
"Ha! I don't care who you are, what were you thinking when you were plotting against me?"
"I didn't scheme against you!" He Tiancheng loudly protested, expressing his innocence.
“You’re all in cahoots. Talking about that is useless. Give me money or leave your life here.”
Seeing Qin Bai's serious expression, He Tiancheng felt that he was not joking.
Thinking about the materials he had read, his anxiety intensified, and that vindictive streak of the pretty boy resurfaced.
How much money do you want?
"10 million."
He Tiancheng jumped up: "Qin Bai, are you crazy? This is blatant extortion!"
"EUR."
"Forget about Euros, I don't even have any Renminbi."
"Fine, then you can just wait to die."
After saying that, Qin Bai turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
He Tiancheng broke out in a cold sweat: "Wait, brother, you're my own brother. Think about it, is there anything else you want? We can exchange them for something of equal value."
Qin Bai's face was full of smiles, revealing his true colors.
"Give me a list of the He family members here. And remember, I also need the spies hidden in the shadows."
He Tiancheng hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded, succumbing to Qin Bai's tyranny.
We have no choice but to give in; this thing has absolutely no humanity whatsoever.
Qin Bai smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, like a half-brother who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"That's right, now we're practically brothers in arms."
He Tiancheng slapped his hand away in annoyance.
It truly was a life-or-death situation.
But I guess that's just my fate.
As the two walked out of the prison, Qin Bai walked up to Jade.
"Thank you so much for your help this time, otherwise my mission wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
"No need to be so polite. I'll need your help a lot in the future."
