Chapter 149: A Person Who Goes Back on Their Word—With a Criminal Record

Ling Hanyu’s car was speeding, but even it couldn’t keep up with the others’ quick movements.

No one expected that, at the crucial moment, Song Qingtian would desperately snatch a car, ramming two people off the road, after which no one dared to get close again.

She had intended to break free and escape, but those men weren’t fools either—they jumped into their own cars and gave chase.

Just as she was cornered and about to make a desperate dash for freedom, she spotted Ling Hanyu’s vehicle.

Song Qingtian charged toward it, determined to reunite with Ling Hanyu as soon as possible.

When the other car caught up and made a sharp turn to block her path, she simply leapt over it.

But as she landed, Ling Hanyu pulled over.

He stepped out of the car and opened Song Qingtian’s door.

Song Qingtian was injured, her clothes torn to shreds.

She didn’t even know how she’d gotten out of the car; she was too weak, her legs trembling.

Unable to stand steady, she clung to Ling Hanyu, who immediately wrapped his arms around her.

Ling Hanyu’s heart nearly broke.

He looked at the crowd closing in, then at Qin Xiaotian, who had just pulled up behind them.

Qin Xiaotian traveled with quite a retinue, but these people clearly weren’t his men.

Qin Xiaotian stepped out of his car, his expression darkening. “Arrest them.”

“Arrest” meant taking them alive.

The Old Steward frowned slightly. How could there be so many people in such a remote place?

But now wasn’t the time to worry about that. After all, the woman in question was the only one capable of carrying on the family line—the next generation’s prospective matriarch—and here she was, in another man’s arms, being “rescued” by him like some kind of hero! How could that be allowed?

The Old Steward shot a cold glance at those around him. “What are you all standing around for? Can’t you see the matriarch is in danger?”

At the Old Steward’s command, the men sprang into action. Without anyone even having to lay a hand on them, they quickly subdued the group.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaotian walked over to where Song Qingtian and Ling Hanyu were, watching Song Qingtian with a complicated look. “I was careless.”

Song Qingtian didn’t want to say much. She glanced at Ling Hanyu and said, “Let’s go.”

Turning around, she led Ling Hanyu away.

Qin Xiaotian watched the men, growing increasingly displeased.

Once Song Qingtian was in the car, Ling Hanyu closed the door and walked over to the others.

On the way, he picked up a stick from the ground.

Song Qingtian’s stomach hurt badly, her face as pale as death. She clutched her belly, staring at Ling Hanyu’s bloodthirsty back.

There he went, walking up to one person and smashing a stick right over their head. The victim shuddered, and blood spurted everywhere.

It seemed the men under Qin Xiaotian were all terrified. That kind of ruthlessness was truly chilling!

As for Song Qingtian, she nearly fainted from fright.

How could they possibly get along when Ling Hanyu was this ruthless?

Qin Xiaotian, however, remained calm, as did the Old Steward.

They seemed to have seen this kind of thing before, so they didn’t think much of it.

Only the men on the ground huddled together, shaken by Ling Hanyu’s ferocity.

Ling Hanyu continued to beat several more people, and suddenly one of them screamed—it turned out a woman had hired them, and she was supposedly extremely beautiful.

Ling Hanyu pulled out his phone and showed the others a picture of Song Yinyin. They shook their heads and said it wasn’t her.

The Old Steward cast an inexplicable glance at Qin Xiaotian, who then remembered A Xiu. “Show them a picture of A Xiu,” he suggested.

The Old Steward nodded and pulled out A Xiu’s photo, but the men still insisted it wasn’t her.

With that, the trail went cold—no leads left.

Suddenly, Ling Hanyu’s phone rang.

It was Song Qingtian calling.

“My stomach hurts so much—let’s go!”

Only then did Ling Hanyu leave.

He got in the car and took Song Qingtian to the hospital.

Song Qingtian was sweating profusely from the pain.

She had studied martial arts before and was no slouch when it came to fighting; if it had really come down to a brawl, she could’ve taken out a few people.

But today was her period, and she’d already exhausted herself just knocking down a few opponents before scrambling into the car.

Now her stomach hurt unbearably.

Ling Hanyu drove fast, getting her to the hospital in no time.

After an examination and an injection, Song Qingtian gradually fell asleep.

When Yang Yifan arrived, he was already suspicious. Not many people knew exactly when Song Qingtian had left the Company.

But without concrete evidence, he didn’t dare speak up.

As for Song Qingtian, after a good night’s sleep and top-notch treatment, she recovered remarkably fast.

She felt perfectly fine now—had it not been for the doctor’s order to stay in the hospital for two days, she could’ve gone home.

Since she couldn’t go home, she had no choice but to stay in the hospital.

Ling Hanyu looked at her and said, “So you’re that principled?”

At first, Song Qingtian didn’t understand, but then she remembered what Ling Hanyu had said about her refusing Qin Xiaotian.

Song Qingtian gave an embarrassed smile.

Did Ling Hanyu really think she was indifferent?

No—she simply didn’t trust Qin Xiaotian.

A person who goes back on their word has a criminal record.

Of course she refused!
