Chapter 153
If she was not at the airport, and there were so many people around, and she needed to maintain her image, Bai Shuangshuang’s voice might be even louder, and she might even look angrier.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Shuangshuang suppressed her anger, “Find a way to find her first, I’ll go back to the capital now!” After saying that, she hung up.
Qin Bailu, who was following behind her, was puzzled.
She had never seen her mother so angry outside in her life. Her mother had always taught her that she had to maintain the bearing of an influential family’s daughter and not lose her bearing.
But now, her mother..
“Mom, is something.. wrong? Who can’t be found?”
Bai Shuangshuang turned back to look at her, “The hospital called. Qiu Jian is missing.”
She had just called to get rid of Qiu Jian three hours ago, and now, she was gone. She didn’t think that with Qiu Jian’s serious injuries and the Qiu Family no longer cared about her, she could still disappear from the capital’s hospital silently!
She didn’t know how much Qiu Jian knew about Qin Bailu being used by others. What if..
She didn’t know how much Qiu Jian knew about Qin Bailu being used by others. What if..
“She’s gone?” Qin Bailu was surprised.
However, why would the hospital call her mother when Qiu Jian was missing?
Although she was puzzled, it was not what she was most concerned about now.
Her mother would never do anything to harm her.
“Why did she disappear? Did the hospital say who took her away? Or because she knew that I was going to.. so she escaped?”
“That’s possible. I only had this thought today. Other than Mom and me, no one else knows. Qiu Jian definitely wouldn’t know.”
“Besides, even if she knew, she was seriously injured and her hands and feet were covered in plaster. How could she have left the hospital alone?”
“Can’t it be a friend or relative who came to take her away?” Bai Shuangshuang couldn’t not care. The other side was saying that they were already prepared. Just as they were about to make a move, Qiu Jian had disappeared.
She was already worried that Qiu Jian had disappeared on her own. If someone with ulterior motives had taken Qiu Jian away..
“No! After the Qiu Family went bankrupt, the people that Qiu Jian got to know in the past had long stopped interacting with her. No one would offend Master Nine for an unimportant Qiu Jian.” She didn’t dare to either. She only relied on her status as the daughter of the Qin Family, but she knew that someone like Master Nine definitely wouldn’t find trouble with her just because she helped Qiu Jian pay for the medical fees when she couldn’t even pay the hospital bills.
Of course, these words were all told to Qin Bailu by Bai Shuangshuang.
No matter what Bai Shuangshuang’s purpose for saying this to Qin Bailu was, this was not wrong. Yin Jiujin wasn’t so free as to pursue Qin Bailu, who was also unimportant to him, because of an unimportant person like Qiu Jian.
Bai Shuangshuang knew Qiu Jian’s recent situation, so she naturally believed Qin Bailu’s words. She only asked this because she hoped that Qiu Jian was only taken away by friends or family.
“Let’s go back to the capital first.”

historical
In the basement of a villa in the capital.
Qiu Jian, whose arms and legs were covered in plaster, lay on the white bed and slowly woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a man in a white coat with his back facing her. At that moment, the man was fiddling with the various bottles on the shelf in front of him.
The moment she opened her eyes, the man turned to look at her.
He was a very good-looking man who gave people a gentle feeling.
He had a smile on his face and looked very gentle.
However, when he smiled at her, she felt her scalp tingle.
She knew this person—Min Rufeng, the illegitimate son of the Min Family!
Didn’t they say that Min Rufeng wasn’t very capable and was someone who only relied on his family and woman?
If he was really such a useless person, how could he have brought her out of the capital’s hospital quietly!
She remembered that at the last second before she fainted, he suddenly appeared in her ward and waved at her. She simply fainted at that!
No matter how silly she was, she could guess that she must have been drugged.
She should not think about this for now. Why did the Second Young Master of the Min Family specially bring her here? It couldn’t be that Second Young Master Min had some perverted fetish and wanted to use her to practice, right?
When she saw Min Rufeng holding something that looked like a bottle of medicine in one hand and a scalpel in the other, Qiu Jian felt that it was very possible. She was so frightened that she could rely on her waist strength to sit up!
She moved back until her back was against the wall behind the white bed’s curtain. There was no way to back anymore!
Her eyes were filled with fear. “W-What are you trying to do? W-Why am I here?”
Min Rufeng’s expression did not change at all when he saw her actions. He calmly and elegantly put the medicine bottle and scalpel back on the nearby shelf before turning his gaze to her again. His eyes were calm and he had a smile on his face. “You’re awake?”
He pulled a chair at the side and sat down. His posture was a little lazy and vaguely noble. “Since you’re awake, I should ask what I want to know.”
“W-What do you want to know? You can ask me whatever you want to know in the hospital. Why did you bring me here? Second Young Master Min, I have never interacted with you before, nor have I made any grudges with you. The Qiu Family is also gone. I don’t think there’s anything on me that’s worth you spending so much effort to bring me out of the hospital for!”
“You should be glad that I happened to pass by and you happened to have some value. Otherwise, you..” Min Rufeng smiled gently.” You would have been a dead body long ago. ”
Qiu Jian’s body turned cold. “D-dead body?”
“S-someone wants to kill me? Could it be that Master Nine wants to kill me? Or is it Yan Jinyu?”
Min Rufeng’s warm smile faded slightly. “You’re rather shameless.”
“Even if it’s the Qiu Family, Yin Jiujin only had to use his mouth to make it disappear from the capital completely. You’re a daughter that the Qiu Family no longer cares about. Are you worthy of Yin Jiujin killing you? Or worthy of Yan Jinyu killing you?” The last sentence was the main point.
Not worthy.
Qiu Jian knew that very well.
Not to mention Master Nine, even Yan Jinyu probably disdained to kill her.
If Yan Jinyu wanted to kill her, she would have killed her when she ran to North City to find trouble with her. She wouldn’t have only injured her.
Later on, she was in the capital’s hospital. If she wanted to kill her, there were many chances.
But she was still alive.
“Then, then who wants to kill me? I didn’t offend anyone.” [Or are you lying to me? No one wants to kill me?]
Of course, Qiu Jian didn’t dare to say the rest.
“You have to ask yourself that then.
“..Could it be Qin Bailu? No matter how petty Qin Bailu is, she’s not so petty that she would kill me because I fall out with.. her.”
At this point, Qiu Jian suddenly paused, and then her face turned pale.
“Perhaps, Qin Bailu really wants to kill me. Since she wants to protect her good reputation and doesn’t want to care about me, the best solution is to kill me. Then, she will utilize her identity as my good friend and shed a few tears. This way, not only will her reputation not be affected, but she might also gain a lot of connections and make her good reputation rise even higher.”
The more she spoke, the colder Qiu Jian’s heart became.
She had a self-deprecating smile on her face.
“You’re wrong about that. I heard that Qin Bailu is in North City now.” Fengling told him this. Just before he happened to see someone attacking Qiu Jian, Fengling called him and told him about what happened after she arrived in North City.
This included meeting Yin Jiujin and confirming that Yin Jiujin had really taken a fancy to Little Yu.
Under the circumstances where Qin Bailu was so frightened that she fled, how could she have the mood to plot and kill? Even if she did, Qin Bailu, the Second Missy of the Qin Family, wasn’t capable enough to do as she pleased in the Min Family’s territory.
The Imperial Capital Hospital was part of the Min Family’s territory as they held an 80% share of it.
Qin Bailu was in North City?
Qiu Jian was slightly stunned.
Then, if someone really wanted to take her life today, the possibility of it being Qin Bailu was not high.
“If it’s not Qin Bailu, who could it be..”
As she spoke, she looked increasingly shocked. Obviously, she had suddenly thought of something.
“Could.. could it be..”
“Who is it?” If Qiu Jian wasn’t someone that Yan Jinyu wanted to keep even after she tried to assassinate her, Min Rufeng really wouldn’t care if she was dead or alive.
He knew that Yan Jinyu might still have a use for Qiu Jian like Qin Bailu.
Since she was still useful, and he happened to bump into her at the capital’s hospital, he naturally had to keep Qiu Jian alive first.
Furthermore, the person who wanted to kill Qiu Jian was..
Qiu Jian was already worthless now, but that person didn’t hesitate to spend so much effort to kill her. Perhaps, he could ask something useful out from Qiu Jian.
“I-it’s Aunt Bai?!”
Meeting Min Rufeng’s gaze that was looking over calmly, Qiu Jian hurriedly calmed down and explained, “Aunt Bai is Qin Bailu’s mother, Bai Shuangshuang, the wife of the head of the Qin Family!”
Hearing that, Min Rufeng smiled gently. “Oh?”
Since when did the wife of the head of the Qin Family have such a good relationship with his father?
