Chapter 221: Chapter 221 She Regretted It
Yin Hehe awoke again to find herself confined to a very small room.
There were no windows, save for an exhaust vent above, and the suspended incandescent bulb overhead was so bright that it made her eyes ache.
“You’re finally awake?”
Just as her still-groggy mind was trying to figure out what this place was—
That’s when a sinister female voice erged in the room.
Yin Hehe imdiately locked her gaze onto this person.
“Is that you, Madam?”
“Yes!”
The Madam, dressed lavishly but with her face covered by a black Tais, slowly walked out of the darkness like a ghost.
“Lan Youjia, you didn’t expect this, did you? Coming here, you still can’t escape from the palm of my hand.”
She stepped towards Yin Hehe, speaking through gritted teeth with hatred.
Lan Youjia was the na Lan Yi had at ho before.
Later, after she went to study, she thought the na was too casual and chose Lan Yi for herself.
Yin Hehe observed the woman.
“Madam, what are you doing? I’m just trying to protect myself, surely you don’t need to show such hostility toward ?”
She wasn’t as panicked as one might expect, but rather felt confused at realizing who was behind this.
Indeed, it was true.
In the Tulan Society, Lan Yi’s mother never posed a threat to anyone, and Lan Yi even less so.
So why had the legitimate wife suddenly taken such drastic asures against her?
“Hehe, not needed?”
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the legitimate wife revealed a thick layer of sarcasm at once.
“You weren’t needed in the past, but now, you’re really capable, aren’t you? With one sentence you’re aiming for the position of the heir to Tulan Society, and you dare say I don’t need to?”
“…”
“Let
tell you, Lan Youjia, as long as I, the Madam, am here, a bastard born from a stray, like you, will never beco the heir to Tulan Society!”
She spat out the words, brimming with loathing.
Her face seethed with rage, as if she wanted to rip Yin Hehe into shreds right there.
Yin Hehe understood what was going on upon hearing this.
Imdiately, she pursed her lips, braced herself against the wall, and slowly climbed to her feet.
“Madam, believe it or not, I truly have no such intentions. I’m doing this only to escape,” she said sincerely to the legitimate wife.
“Escape?”
“Yes. I made a deal with father: if I help him succeed, he won’t force
to marry his dim-witted son. That’s all I’m asking for.”
Yin Hehe stood up and looked the legitimate wife squarely in the eye as she spoke earnestly.
She definitely wasn’t coveting the position of heir to the Tulan Society.
After all, she wasn’t the real Lan Yi. Why would she want that? All she wanted now, was to gain Lan Cuo’s trust.
And then find an opportunity to make her escape.
Luckily, after saying this, the legitimate wife seed to soften a bit.
“Is what you’re saying true?”
“Of course it is,” Yin Hehe nodded imdiately.
“Madam, if you don’t believe , I can swear to you right now. And, Madam, the business I’m doing with father is of utmost importance—if you kill
and ss it up, he won’t let you off.”
Yin Hehe administered the final strong dose to the woman.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, her complexion changed, and her attitude clearly wasn’t as rigid.
“You just wait here for !”
That was all she left Yin Hehe with before she hurried out.
Seeing this, Yin Hehe knew she must have gone to consult with soone; so, she wasn’t anxious and found a chair to sit down in the room.
What was the ti now?
And where was this place? Did Lan Cuo know she was missing? Would he co to find her?
Her mind was a whirl with these questions.
Yet, she couldn’t deny that at this mont, she had cald down quite a bit, and the fear from being drugged had also dissipated.
She hadn’t expected that when she had been waiting for almost twenty minutes and this door was opened again, the ones who ca in turned out to be two strange n she had never t before.
“What… what are you going to do?” she asked.
“What are we going to do?”
To her horror, the two n even flashed a sinister smile.
“Miss Second Young Lady, the madam said that the things you just ntioned are unfounded and that you need to show a bit of sincerity for us to believe them,” they said.
“What kind of sincerity?” she asked.
Yin Hehe sensed danger and imdiately got up to back away.
But the room was only so big; where could she possibly retreat to? It was a matter of rely two or three steps.
Before she knew it, the two n had cornered her.
“It’s, of course, this!”
They pinned her down, and before long, they actually took out a syringe from their person. And inside the syringe, there was a clear liquid.
Yin Hehe: “!!!!”
Almost instantly, all her blood felt as if it had frozen inside her body, turning her as pale as a dead person.
“Get away from ! You bunch of animals, don’t touch , get out!”
She finally lost her composure.
Screaming frantically in front of the two n, she desperately tried to escape to the side.
She was a lawyer, how could she not be aware of what this was!
She finally felt a fear she had never known before.
However, these people didn’t let her get away. Seeing her attempt to escape, they simply reached out and grabbed her.
Instantly, she was like a chick caught in the talons of an eagle.
She could struggle no more.
“Miss Second Young Lady, why are you running? Isn’t this what you asked for? Hahaha…”
Their maniacal, ghastly laughter made the room seem like hell at that mont.
Yin Hehe’s eyes turned blood red!
She struggled fiercely, scread, called for help…
And at last, she pleaded desperately with the two n, hoping they would spare her.
But it was no use.
The sharp needle eventually pierced her arm.
“No—”
She cried out miserably.
In that mont, she finally regretted that she should not have left Jiangbei, and even more so, she should not have naively thought that staying away from that man was more important than her life!
“Sheng Siyuan…”
As she lost consciousness, the na she cried out with her completely hoarse voice was this one.
—
Southeast Asia, airport.
By the ti Sheng Siyuan arrived here on a private plane, it was the early hours of the third day.
This place wasn’t like the United States; entering the country still required so formalities.
So it had been delayed by a day.
“Mr. President, we’ve found out that the Tulan Society’s Second Young Lady indeed returned,” reported Xu Guannan as soon as they disembarked from the plane.
Sheng Siyuan, who hadn’t slept for two days and nights, imdiately took his assistant’s phone when he heard this news.
“Is the Second Young Lady Lan Yi?”
“Yes, Lan Cuo has four won in total. Besides his legal wife who he married properly, the other three were won he brought back. Lan Yi’s mother used to be a croupier in the gambling city of Southeast Asia. She caught Lan Cuo’s eye, and after he brought her back, she gave birth to Lan Yi,” Xu Guannan briefly explained.
This was indeed the true background of Lan Yi. The Tulan Society, a cri syndicate in Southeast Asia that struck fear into people’s hearts. Who could have imagined that the private life of its leader was so disorderly?
Sheng Siyuan got into the car.
“Where is she now?”
As the car door closed, that was his first question.
