Instead of questioning s.h.i.+ Bao’er, Jin Qingyue said, “Come home with Mommy.”

s.h.i.+ Bao’er glared at her and refused vehemently, “No.”

“I’ll send you to your father’s place, then.”

“No!” she hollered.

“What do you want, then? Would you like to return to the boot camp?”

“No…”

“You’re saying no to everything. Do you want to sleep on the streets, then?”

After a moment of silence, she caught sight of s.h.i.+ Shaochuan walking toward them and finally said, “I’ll go with you.”

At last, Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye brought her home reluctantly.

Although s.h.i.+ Bao’er was her biological daughter, Jin Qingyue could not help but feel terrified by the things that s.h.i.+ Bao’er was capable of doing.

For example, trying to poison them to death by leaving the gas stove on at midnight. Jin Qingyue was truly petrified.

However, she could not leave s.h.i.+ Bao’er in the lurch; she was still her flesh and blood, after all.

They arrived home together, after which Ling Ciye returned to the bedroom, leaving the two of them in the living room.

“Why did you run out on your own? Could you tell me the reason?”

Hanging her head low, s.h.i.+ Bao’er answered, “Daddy is no longer Daddy. Neither of you wants me anymore. Why should I still stay in that house…?”

“We’re not abandoning you. Think about what you had done in the past when you were living with me. Were you doing the right thing?”

Shaking her head, s.h.i.+ Bao’er answered, “No.”

“You’ll forever be my child, regardless of whether I’m pregnant now or not. I was the one who raised you single-handedly. Why would I abandon you?” She then pulled s.h.i.+ Bao’er into the other bedroom and picked out some of the clothes that s.h.i.+ Bao’er used to wear. “Go get a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes. I’ll get some ice cubes and put them on your face later to reduce the swelling.”

“Mommy, help me shower.”

“Alright, I’ll help you.”

Another hour had pa.s.sed while Jin Qingyue bathed s.h.i.+ Bao’er, applied some medicine onto her face, and tucked her into bed.

It was already past midnight by the time she returned to the master bedroom.

The window was left wide open. Jin Qingyue initially wanted to close it but decided not to after some thought.

“Why didn’t you call beforehand to tell me that you’d be returning?”

“Because… I wanted to give you a surprise,” he answered while leaning against the headboard. Pointing at the dressing room, he continued, “The present that I had bought you is in there. Go take a look and see if you like it.”

She nodded and turned around to enter the dressing room.

It was a beautiful dress that he had bought. Afraid that it might not fit her properly, she even tried it on, only to discover that it fit her well and that it was perfect for her size at present.

She exited the dressing room and removed her clothes. She then got onto the bed and asked, “How is that old woman going to be punished?”

“The police called just now to inform me that that old woman is an ex-convict who was released from prison less than two years ago. She was imprisoned previously for a similar reason. She abducted a child and was sentenced to jail. She won’t be able to escape this time either.”

“That really scared me. Ciye, do you think we can try and make Bao’er change her ways? I really don’t want her life to be ruined. I want her to live well,” said Jin Qingyue, who was snuggling up in his embrace.

“It won’t be easy, but I’m sure her att.i.tude and behavior will improve with some proper guidance. Call your brother and tell him to get the instructors at the boot camp to focus on teaching her the right values and manners. They must be strict with her and do their best to get her on the right track. Do visit her more often too in the future.”

“Yes.”

Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye went to bed at past twelve midnight. Meanwhile, someone else was still up at two o’clock in the morning.

It was none other than Henry. He woke up one hour after midnight and sat in bed for an entire hour straight.

He took a look at the time on his mobile phone and thought to himself, I’m finally awakened. I’ve been waiting for so long.

I must think of a way to get out of here. However, everyone outside only obeys the instructions of Jin Qingyan and not mine.

Hence, after much consideration, he decided to sneak out by pretending to be Jin Qingyan.

Xiao Zi and Xiao Lu were the ones on duty in the guardroom.

“Young Sir, why are you going to the garage?”

“I’m going to take a look.” Xiao Lu stood up and exited the guardroom. Instead of walking toward the garage, he waited by the main entrance for the car to be driven over.

He was extremely cautious and had his guard up because he had once encountered Jin Qingyan experiencing a relapse at midnight. Hence, he had always remained much more vigilant at midnight.

Henry sped toward the entrance in the Mercedes-Benz and rolled down the windows. Xiao Lu stepped forward and asked, “Young Sir, where are you heading to at such a late hour?”

“Out to handle some matters.”

Noticing that he seemed to sound normal and was also dressed in his usual attire, Xiao Lu then asked, “Young Sir, it won’t be safe for you to go out alone at night. Shall I get two bodyguards to tag along with you?”

He agreed, “Okay.”

Xiao Lu heaved a sigh of relief and contacted two other bodyguards using his walkie-talkie, telling them to chaperon Jin Qingyan in another car.

Henry’s lips curled into a smirk the moment he drove out of Wei Ni Estate. He stared at the reflection of the car behind him in the rear view mirror and sped up all of a sudden.

The bodyguards followed suit.

After speeding past two streets, he chanced upon a group of professional car racers who were having a race on the streets in the silent night.

The racers were driving much faster than Henry, who was already speeding.

He could not resist his urge to compete with them, given that he was supposedly a freelance race car driver. The racers too treated him as a compet.i.tor, thinking that he had also joined the race.

However, the bodyguards who had been tailing him were dumbfounded upon seeing what was happening. They hurriedly contacted Xiao Lu to inform him about the situation, after which Xiao Lu instantly sensed that something was amiss. Out of all the bodyguards, he was the one who understood Jin Qingyan the most. He knew that Jin Qingyan had always been a safe driver who drove at a steady pace. Although he would speed occasionally, he would never drive at such a jarring speed like the racers were.

Xiao Lu immediately rushed over with a large bunch of fellow bodyguards.

When they arrived, one of the bodyguards was standing amongst the small crowd and waiting anxiously.

Staring at the Mercedes-Benz parked at the side, Xiao Lu asked, “Where’s Young Sir?”

“Young Sir is partic.i.p.ating in a motorbike race with those people. We couldn’t stop him at all. I told my buddy to chase him down with the car while I wait here for you guys.”

Xiao Lu hurriedly brought some other bodyguards along to take chase.

Despite traveling at an incredible speed, they still could not catch up with Henry. When they returned and were about a few hundred meters away, Xiao Lu tried to drive forward to stop him from proceeding. However, what happened next frightened everyone out of their wits.

All of a sudden, the motorbikes behind charged forward and rammed Henry who was initially taking the lead, from behind. Henry tried to steer his motorbike to the side in an attempt to dodge the attack. However, he failed to do so and was flung into the ditch beside the roads instead.

At that instant, the hearts of Xiao Lu and the rest of the bodyguards almost jumped out of their chests.

“What are you waiting for? Rescue Young Sir!!!”

They drove towards the ditch within seconds, after which half of them alighted and dived into the ditch while the other half pinned the racers down before they could escape.

Fortunately, the ditch was not too deep. However, Henry had still pa.s.sed out due to the immense impact from the sudden collision.

Xiao Lu carried him on his back and got back up onto the roads with the help of the other bodyguards. Glaring daggers at the racers, Xiao Lu hollered, “Have you any idea who he is? You shall be taught a hard lesson. Take all of these people back!”

“Yes.”
