Bai Yurou chuckled dismissively, looking down at Nan Qiao with venom in her eyes, "If I lose, I have to tell you who he is? Nan Qiao, you’ve played your cards well. Sadly, I won’t tell you who he is!"
Bai Yurou decided to burn the bridges; she didn’t want Nan Qiao to have it easy!
If Nan Qiao suffered, she would be happy!
Bai Yurou couldn’t stand up; her legs hurt so much that her face turned pale as paper.
The summer wind was hot, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. A few flies came over and buzzed around Bai Yurou, as if she were a pile of dung.
Bai Yurou, annoyed, tried to swat the flies but couldn’t drive them away.
The flies were as irritating as Bai Yurou, making one’s mood unpleasant.
Nan Qiao and Li Yehan watched Bai Yurou’s disheveled scene without changing their expression.
Nan Qiao said, "Bai Yurou, it seems you are well aware that he won’t save you. You’ve followed him for so many years, betraying the Bai Family, and in the end, you’ve got nothing? Bai Yurou, you are quite pitiful indeed."
"Nan Qiao, how dare you say that? This is all your fault! If you hadn’t come back, I wouldn’t have been exposed!"
Nan Qiao replied, "You brought this upon yourself; you did so many deplorable things, and you’re bound to face retribution! Now I am giving you a way out, but you don’t want it; whom can you blame?"
Li Yehan praised, "Qiaoqiao speaks well, Qiaoqiao is right. There’s no need to cast pearls before swine, she’s too foolish to understand."
Bai Yurou was near bursting with anger, furiously picking up a stone from the ground and hurling it at Nan Qiao.
Li Yehan kicked the stone away, glaring at Bai Yurou, "Want to die? I’ll oblige."
Li Yehan’s hands held a weapon, his eyes showing a murderous intent as he looked at Bai Yurou, wanting to finish her then and there.
Nan Qiao grabbed Li Yehan’s hand, urging him to lower the weapon.
"Li Yehan, don’t be impulsive. Such a death would be too easy for Bai Yurou."
Bai Yurou, as if facing a great enemy, screamed, "Nan Qiao, you bitch, what are you planning to do!"
Nan Qiao craftily smiled, "Of course, I’m going to make your life worse than death! Why would I let you off so easily by letting you die now?"
Bai Yurou sat on the ground, utterly defeated.
She clearly realized that she had failed.
At that moment, Hou Ze arrived with his men, and Old Liu also brought people.
Hou Ze, weapon in hand, sprinted to Nan Qiao’s side, "Boss, are you alright?"
Nan Qiao, "I’m fine; take Bai Yurou back, I’ll personally interrogate her."
Hou Ze nodded, his face shining with resolve, "Alright, I’ll take her now. Boss, you can relax; I’ll make sure she doesn’t even have a chance to kill herself."
Nan Qiao nodded in satisfaction, "Have someone watch her 24/7,"
Hou Ze, "I’ll get her out of here now, so she won’t offend your eyes."
Hou Ze’s men, swiftly and efficiently, dragged Bai Yurou away.
Old Liu’s men dealt with the assassins.
"Mr. Li, all the assassins have been caught; not a single one escaped," Old Liu reported respectfully.
Old Liu continued, "Miss Nan Qiao, your men are truly exceptional, quick, precise, and ruthless just like you. They are a role model for us; my men will also learn from them."
Even the usually taciturn Old Liu could flatter?
Hearing his words, Hou Ze lifted his chin, a look of arrogant coquetry.
"Of course, my men are impeccable!"
Nan Qiao couldn’t help but laugh, "Houzi, just get on with your work."
The air was foul, and flies buzzed by, which Nan Qiao couldn’t stand.
Li Yehan glanced at Old Liu, who still wore a respectful demeanor.
"Mr. Li, I’m now taking the assassins away; should we call the police?"
Li Yehan, "Call the police. Those people will definitely erase their tracks, take this opportunity to investigate."
Hou Ze loudly declared, "Boss, rest assured, I’ll also send people to investigate."
Old Liu and Hou Ze locked eyes, each silently competing to be the first to find the results.
At that moment, Bai Jingting arrived with his men.
Nan Qiao was somewhat surprised to see Bai Jingting, but Li Yehan showed no hint of surprise.
Nan Qiao excitedly ran over, "Big brother, how come you’re here?"
Bai Jingting was somewhat angry, displeasedly glancing at Li Yehan, "Li Yehan called me, asking if I could get in touch with you. He didn’t explain why, and after hanging up, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. It was only after investigating that I found out you had been kidnapped."
Having said that, Bai Jingting angrily questioned, "Li Yehan, why didn’t you tell me!"
Li Yehan calmly replied, "The kidnappers didn’t allow me to tell a second person nor call the police, or they’d kill the hostage. For Qiaoqiao’s safety, I had to keep it from you."
Nan Qiao chuckled, "Even though Li Yehan kept it secret, big brother, you still figured it out. Li Yehan must have called you as a reminder."
Saying this, Bai Jingting’s expression eased somewhat, though he still spoke displeasedly, "Li Yehan, Qiaoqiao is my sister. If she’s kidnapped, you must inform me immediately."
Bai Jingting added, "My sister has her own lucky stars; there definitely won’t be a next time. No matter what, you have to tell me from now on, as I am Qiaoqiao’s big brother."
As the two began to argue again, Nan Qiao quickly interjected, "Big brother, mom and dad aren’t involved in this, are they?"
"I didn’t tell them, afraid they’d worry."
Nan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the family didn’t know.
"Big brother, let’s head back first; the air here isn’t good."
Bai Jingting nodded, "Qiaoqiao, let’s go home."
Bai Jingting walked behind Nan Qiao, and Li Yehan shook his head helplessly, following behind.
Zhou Jingya was shocked to learn that Liu Yanfang had attacked Nan Qiao with sulfuric acid and conspired against her; she never expected Liu Yanfang would do such a thing.
To exonerate Liu Yanfang, Zhou Jingya quickly said, "It must have been Bai Yurou who instigated my mother to do this; my mother has been mentally unwell recently, and Bai Yurou took this opportunity to incite her. It’s all Bai Yurou’s fault; you must investigate this thoroughly!"
The police said, "We’ve investigated it thoroughly; Bai Yurou has been arrested."
She just knew Bai Yurou couldn’t handle things!
If Bai Yurou was truly capable, she wouldn’t have been kicked out by the Bai Family, such a fool!
The police told Zhou Jingya, "You’re so certain that it was Bai Yurou who instigated your mother, so did you also participate?"
Zhou Jingya was taken aback, intimidated by the sharp look in the officer’s eyes, and she quickly shook her head, "How could that be possible, I wasn’t involved in this at all! Bai Yurou came to me wanting to cooperate, but I didn’t agree. I’m a law-abiding good citizen; how could I possibly do something so outrageous?"
After the statement was recorded, Zhou Jingya was very anxious, unsure of what to do.
Zhou Jingya asked, "Where is my mother, can I see her?"
