Chapter 151 - The Abandoned Factory
Bai Shuangshuang was just about to scold her for being unperturbed and losing her composure when she saw Qin Bailu's expression turn cold. "However, the matter of getting rid of Yan Jinyu is not urgent for now. Mom, Qiu Jian said that someone is using me as a tool. Do you think her words are trustworthy? Or is it that there's no such person at all? Did Qiu Jian deliberately said that to scare me because she was angry?"
Hearing that, Bai Shuangshuang's hand that was lifting up the wine glass paused again, and an unknown gleam flashed past her eyes. "The Qiu Family is bankrupt, and Qiu Jian has fallen to such a state. How can you believe what she's saying now? Don't scare yourself!"
"Mom, do you mean that Qiu Jian is lying to me? There's no such person?"
"Do you think your mother is someone to be trifled with? If someone really wants to scheme against my daughter and use my daughter as a tool, how would I not know? Bailu, how did Mom teach you? You must not be surprised when you encounter something. Your brain isn't a decoration. Can't you feel if someone uses you as a tool?"
"Mom is right. If someone really used me as a tool, how could I not notice?" As she spoke, her expression was sinister. "Good Qiu Jian, you actually dared to lie to me!"
She looked at Bai Shuangshuang, "Mom, can I ignore Qiu Jian? Whenever I think that it's all because of her that Master Nine has a bad impression of me, I can't wait for her to disappear immediately! Now, she actually came to lie to me! Even if I can't make her disappear, I don't want to be responsible for her medical fees and let her take advantage of me for nothing!"
"Foolish!"
"Is that what I taught you? Everyone knows that you two are best friends, but you abandoned her at her most difficult time. Do you still want your reputation after all these years?"
"I'm sorry, Mom. I got it now."
The unwillingness in her eyes was seen by Bai Shuangshuang. She leaned lazily on the sofa and swirled the wine glass in her hand. She took a sip of red wine, and an unknown gleam flashed past her eyes, "However, since you don't like Qiu Jian so much, there's a way. It can protect your reputation and you don't have to care about her anymore."
Qin Bailu's eyes lit up. "What way?"
"Once and for all."
"M-Mom means…" She wanted to do a throat-slitting action, but she suddenly remembered that Yan Jinyu had done it before. She shuddered and quickly put down her hand that was raised halfway. Her expression was a little stiff as she said," Let's end Qiu Jian straight away? "
Bai Shuangshuang glanced at her, "Be smarter. Don't let anyone find out about you."
"I know, Mom, don't worry! After her family went bankrupt, her parents brought her brother away to avoid creditors. They have abandoned their seriously injured daughter in the hospital and she attempted suicide in her despair. As for me, I've always been a kind person who will never abandon my friends!"
"You're not too stupid."
"Then, Mom, what about Yan Jinyu? Since there's no one who uses me as a tool, I don't have to spend too much effort on this matter. Then, can I focus on dealing with Yan Jinyu?" Yan Jinyu was already one of the biggest obstacles in her path to marry Master Nine and enter the Yin Family. Now, she was threatening her too. She couldn't let her live!
"You can't kill her the first time, and you still want to kill her a second time? Do you think Master Nine is just for show? Since Master Nine wants to protect her, you shouldn't target her for the time being. It's to prevent Master Nine from having a worse impression of you. Be smart. What you need to do now is to change Master Nine's impression of you! Even if Master Nine doesn't like you, at least don't make him hate you."
Qin Bailu clenched her fists unwillingly. "Yes, Mom."
Bai Shuangshuang's gaze landed on her again, "You don't have to be anxious either. What's yours will be yours sooner or later. Don't worry, Mom will help you. Besides, Mom did marry into the Qin Family without any status or background. You're the legitimate daughter of the Qin Family, aren't you more advantageous than Mom?"
"What you have to do is to know how to endure. While you work hard to fight for it, you have to wait for the right opportunity. Now that Master Nine is beside Yan Jinyu, you can't touch her but can't you touch others? It's good to have one less enemy."
Qin Bailu looked up at her in surprise. "Mom means… the Min Family…"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Bai Shuangshuang's angry rebuke, "Idiot!"
Qin Bailu was shocked.
"The Min Family's status is comparable to the Qin Family. Do you think that you can do anything to the Min Family? I want you to deal with that woman! Didn't you tell me that Master Nine has that woman in his heart?"
"B-But Mom, isn't that person… isn't Master Nine protecting her? Master Nine sent someone to protect her. I didn't have the chance to do anything to her."
"Can't you look for an opportunity if you don't have the chance? If she doesn't go out, you'll think of a way to lure her out. Are those people still able to protect her if she goes out? As long as she isn't protected by them, there will be a chance to attack!"
"B-But, what method do I have to use to make her go out? It's said that she hasn't stepped out of the house for eight years." If she didn't bump into them coincidentally, she would probably never know that such an unknown person would be related to Master Nine and they seemed to have a deep relationship!
Most importantly, Master Nine treated that person…
"Can't you think of a solution yourself? Are your brains for show? I've taught you for so many years, and you still want me to help you do everything?"
Seeing that Qin Bailu's gaze seemed to be filled with "disbelief", Bai Shuangshuang restrained her emotions and said, "Don't blame Mom for being ruthless. I have to give you a chance to practise. When you really can't deal with it, Mom will naturally help you. Just like this time, didn't Mom accompany you to North City and even spent a lot of effort to find an opportunity for you to get close to Master Nine?"
"Who knew that you would be so useless? You ran back in a panic after being frightened by someone!"
"Forget it. Since the matter has already passed, there's no point in mentioning it again. Since you didn't grasp this opportunity, I'll find another chance to let you show your face in front of Master Nine. I'll book an afternoon flight back to the capital. You're tired too. Go take a shower and rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time."
Hearing Bai Shuangshuang's words, Qin Bailu finally restrained her slightly complicated emotions, "Alright, thank you, Mom."
She was definitely unwilling to accept it, but she also knew that Yan Jinyu wasn't the only one who was obstructing her from marrying into the Yin Family. Since she couldn't deal with Yan Jinyu now, it was the same for her to target someone else.
Furthermore, Qiu Jian actually dared to lie to her. She would definitely not let her off easily!
Qin Bailu stood up and left. Bai Shuangshuang looked at her back deeply, then lowered her eyes, making it difficult for others to see the emotions in her eyes.
She took another sip of red wine.
She didn't expect that the daughter of the Qiu Family, Qiu Jian, actually knew so much. Did she accidentally hear it? Or did someone tell her?
It didn't matter how she found out. She was destined to die.
Speaking of which, she was still glad that Qin Bailu had such a temper. Even if Qiu Jian knew the truth, she didn't tell her.
Although she said that she wanted Qin Bailu to deal with Qiu Jian, she was actually just eliminating the suspicion. How could she let Qin Bailu meet Qiu Jian again?
She took out her phone and sent a message.
The content of the message: "Qiu Jian, the daughter of the Qiu Family, seems to know something. She's in the capital's hospital. It's more convenient for you to make a move and let her have an accident."
***
In the southern suburbs of North City.
An abandoned old factory.
Yin Jiujin parked the car outside the factory. The two of them got out and saw ruins.
Looking at the dilapidated factory door, Yin Jiujin's expression was tense as he stood rooted to the ground.
Seeing this, Yan Jinyu walked forward and held his hand. She smiled at him, "Brother Nine, let's go in."
Yin Jiujin looked at her deeply and moved his lips to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.
He held her hand tightly and led her slowly into the old factory.
However, she didn't notice that when Yan Jinyu's gaze landed on the old factory in front of her again, her eyes suddenly darkened.
Back then, it was here that the kidnappers hid in the main door. Her parents took 100 million dollars as ransom here. After knowing that they could only save one person, they chose to save Yan Jinyun without any hesitation. Then, they exchanged with each other and left with Yan Jinyun.
They didn't look at her or ask if she was okay. They didn't even tell the kidnappers that they would prepare the ransom immediately and ask them not to hurt her.
The kidnappers even had to shout when they were about to leave, "If you don't get 100 million dollars in ransom in a day, we'll kill her!"
It could be said that if the kidnappers had not shouted, they might have forgotten that she was still in their hands.
At that time, she was watching from the door.
No crying, no shouting, no arguing.
Until the kidnappers brought her back to the building in the factory.
Yes, a building. There were many abandoned old warehouses here with only one two-story building. It seemed to be the place where the workers lived before the factory was abandoned.
Her emotions were inevitably affected as her thoughts drifted away. The frustration that she had not felt for many days seemed to be slowly getting stronger again.
At this moment, Yin Jiujin suddenly stopped in his tracks and lowered his eyes to look at her. "Why don't we go back? Shall we come again in the future?"
