Chapter 285: Not Far from Death

Ling Hanyu looked at Song Qingtian: “What’s wrong?”

Song Qingtian turned to Ling Hanyu: “Bai Ge came over and threatened Aunt Chen.”

“Threatened Aunt Chen?”

“Mm.”

Song Qingtian glanced at Ling Hanyu. Thinking that everything now belonged to her, she saw no need to hide anything from him. She then explained how she had previously left with Aunt Chen and their daughter, going to stay at Tianhai Pavilion.

Ling Hanyu pondered for a moment: “So… not only did you realize some things were missing from there, but you also deceived Bai Ge, making her believe Aunt Chen went there to steal?”

“At the time, I just played along. I didn’t expect Bai Ge to have a trick up her sleeve—she managed to get hold of photos and videos. But since she has these materials, it’s only natural she’d use them to put pressure on Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen says she doesn’t care, but once those photos leak, even when she goes out to buy groceries, people will point and whisper. I won’t stand by and let myself be dragged into this because of her, so we’ve got to get those photos back.”

“So what now?”

Ling Hanyu’s expression grew somber, but he couldn’t move right now. His daughter was asleep on his lap, and he was still holding her in his arms. Even if he could, how could he possibly split himself off and chase after her?

Song Qingtian was like Iron Man—fearless and independent, always going her own way.

She walked up to Ling Hanyu and said, “I’ll go get those things back. Just wait for me!”

With that, Song Qingtian winked at him, then turned and headed out the door.

“Come back!”

Ling Hanyu was worried about Song Qingtian, but she showed no sign of turning back—she was gone as fast as the wind.

The office door closed, and Song Qingtian was already gone.

Listening to Song Qingtian’s footsteps fading away, Ling Hanyu grew even angrier.

He picked up his daughter and reached for his phone.

He told Yang Yifan to follow Song Qingtian.

But by the time Yang Yifan went downstairs, Song Qingtian had already sped off into the distance.

The black Maybach disappeared into the traffic, leaving Yang Yifan frantic and agitated. What was he supposed to do?

He called Song Qingtian, but she wouldn’t answer!

Yang Yifan turned around and reported back. He was so anxious all the way that he felt like giving up.

Bai Ge got into the car, and Song Yinyin was sitting inside. Song Yinyin looked at Bai Ge: “Mom, what did you say?”

“What else could I say? She’s just a nanny—what does she know? As soon as I scared her, she caved. Look how stiff she is!”

Bai Ge started the car and drove off.

But Song Yinyin asked, “Mom, you and Chen Jianxiu…”

“I was forced, but once those videos leak, who cares whether I was forced or not?”

Bai Ge wasn’t afraid of that. If she were, she wouldn’t have been able to thrive among so many men for years and still be so popular.

Song Yinyin nodded. She agreed—it just didn’t seem possible.

“Yinyin, if others don’t believe Mom, you don’t either?”

Song Yinyin shook her head: “No, I believe Mom.”

“Good. That’s all that matters. Let’s just wait for news.”

“Mom…”

Song Yinyin seemed determined.

Bai Ge glanced at Song Yinyin in the rearview mirror, thinking she might bring up money.

But Bai Ge said, “Don’t even talk about having fifty million. Even if we did, we wouldn’t give it. There’s no room for negotiation on this. Besides… your third uncle may have some money, but fifty million is still a lot. We originally wanted to arrange a marriage between you and the Shen family, but they suddenly pulled out. Who knows if it has something to do with that little bitch. So we have to keep a low profile. But don’t worry—your third uncle’s money is all yours.”

“I know Uncle Third loves me. That’s not what I’m talking about. It’s something else.”

Bai Ge drove on: “What is it?”

“I want to hire someone to kill Song Qingtian!”

Song Yinyin said firmly. She’d been wanting to do this for a long time, but she’d never quite made up her mind. Now, if they kept dragging it out, it would only bring trouble upon themselves.

There was no choice but to take a risk—even if it meant breaking the law, she had to go through with it.

Bai Ge hadn’t expected mother and daughter to be on the same page.

“For now, don’t interfere—otherwise you might make things worse. I’ll handle it. She’s not far from death!”
