Instead of questioning Shi Bao’er, Jin Qingyue said, “Co ho with Mommy.”
Shi Bao’er glared at her and refused vehently, “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 mont of silence, she caught sight of Shi Shaochuan walking toward them and finally said, “I’ll go with you.”
At last, Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye brought her ho reluctantly.
Although Shi Bao’er was her biological daughter, Jin Qingyue could not help but feel terrified by the things that Shi 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 Shi Bao’er in the lurch; she was still her flesh and blood, after all.
They arrived ho 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 the reason?”
Hanging her head low, Shi Bao’er answered, “Daddy is no longer Daddy. Neither of you wants 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 . Were you doing the right thing?”
Shaking her head, Shi 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 Shi Bao’er into the other bedroom and picked out so of the clothes that Shi Bao’er used to wear. “Go get a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes. I’ll get so ice cubes and put them on your face later to reduce the swelling.”
“Mommy, help shower.”
“Alright, I’ll help you.”
Another hour had passed while Jin Qingyue bathed Shi Bao’er, applied so dicine onto her face, and tucked her into bed.
It was already past midnight by the ti she returned to the master bedroom.
The window was left wide open. Jin Qingyue initially wanted to close it but decided not to after so thought.
“Why didn’t you call beforehand to tell 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 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 ti either.”
“That really scared . 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 attitude and behavior will improve with so 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. anwhile, soone 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 ti 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 extrely 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 rcedes-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 so matters.”
Noticing that he seed 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 mont 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 competitor, 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 sothing 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 imdiately 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 rcedes-Benz parked at the side, Xiao Lu asked, “Where’s Young Sir?”
“Young Sir is participating 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 so 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 ters 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 ramd 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 passed out due to the imnse 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.”
