Chapter 119: Vile

Ji Lan’s expression was filled with anxiety as she said in a hurried tone, “The matter hasn’t been clearly investigated yet. We should wait for updates from the authorities instead…”

“That’s why we’re here to investigate the truth!” Bai Ting looked at Ji Lan grudgingly. As Ji Lan wasn’t in a high position in her husband’s family, she wasn’t looked upon much by the rest of the ladies. Although Bai Ting was just a cousin who lived under someone else’s roof… she dared to refute Ji Lan right to her face.

“How do you know if the police are actually doing their jobs? If they are to carry out a proper investigation, how could they not catch the kidnapper? We have to stand up for Xiao Yu since she’s part of the family; we should seek justice for her. Don’t you want to help Xiao Yu? What are you thinking?”

Bai Ting and the others did not know who kidnapped Qin Yu. After those people were captured, they were transferred to Ning Chen to be interrogated personally. Later on, Du Ming was implicated. It was naturally inappropriate to publicize the sins committed by a member of the police force. Therefore, in the eyes of Bai Ting and the others… the kidnappers of Qin Yu had not yet been arrested and brought to justice.

Ji Lan was not an eloquent person. After being chided by Bai Ting, she was suddenly at a loss. Bai Ting’s words made it sound like Ji Lan was obstructing everyone else from seeking justice for Qin Yu.

However, this matter concerned the innocence of a girl. If it was publicized, Qin Yu’s reputation would be ruined!

Ji Lan was in a dilemma, but she did not know how to help Qin Yu.

Qin Yu looked coldly at Bai Ting. She saw clearly the malicious intentions of this woman.

She wanted to ruin her reputation and force her to leave the Ning family. The Ning family would never allow a defiled daughter-in-law to remain.

Qin Yu thought that Bai Ting had reporters and media on standby. In the post-truth era, public opinion was very easy to sway.

Then, she would be judged by the public, who would look at her in all sorts of ways.

When she was kicked out of the Ning family, Bai Ting’s chance would come.

A great plan indeed.

However, Qin Yu’s unfazed. Naturally, she was not afraid of Bai Ting’s plan at all.

Glory World had grown in recent years and had frequent business dealings with many entertainment agencies. When it came to media resources, would she be inferior to a mere Bai Ting? Did she want to wage war? Bring it on!

As long as Bai Ting took it all in her stride when the time came.

After sending off Bai Xin and the others who came over to cause trouble, Ah Yu looked at Qin Yu anxiously and said, “What should we do now? Do we really have to let them publicize this matter? Young Madam, why aren’t you worried?”

When her cousin left just now, the smug and victorious expression on her face made Ah Yu gnash her teeth — how could this woman act so horribly so she could get with Ning Chen! She actually came up with a way to slander Qin Yu’s innocence!

“Why should I be worried?”Qin Yu looked at the crowd in confusion, as if she didn’t understand Bai Ting’s scheme at all.

Seeing that Qin Yu didn’t understand the importance of innocence to a woman, Ah Yu didn’t bother with Qin Yu anymore and went out to call Uncle Wen.

Qin Yu put down the soup bowl that was already a little cold and wiped her mouth. Then, she sat on the sofa and played with her tablet as usual.

Messages kept coming into the group chat with the Four Little Ones.

[Boss, boss, are you really okay? Guan Yue didn’t tell us clearly. How did you get kidnapped?]

[Boss just woke up, can you give her a break? Geez, calm down!] It was obviously Ah Nan.

[I care about the boss! Besides, if we get to the bottom of this, revenge will be much, much easier. I wonder who dares to kidnap my boss!]

[Boss will contact us soon. Don’t be anxious.] Ah Xi’s tone was calmer than the others. Although he was also worried about Qin Yu, he could only suppress his emotions and comfort the others who were anxious.

Qin Yu felt a warmth in her heart — the feeling of being cared for and loved by others was amazing.

Although her parents were gone; she still had Ah Dong, Ah Xi, Ah Nan, Ah Bei, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Chu as her family!

And of course, her favorite person, Ning Chen.

Qin Yu felt a little better. She hurriedly typed, [I’m fine. Don’t worry, kids.]

After a moment of silence, messages began flooding in. Before Qin Yu could finish reading the messages that had just appeared, several more messages popped up again.

[Boss? Where are you now? We’re coming to visit you!]

[SOBS! I’ve never been so worried about a woman other than my mother in my life…]

[Boss, which bastard did it? I’ll personally send them to the depths of hell!]

Qin Yu couldn’t read the messages as fast as they came in. She was forced to turn off the notification before replying to the questions.
