CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 313: THE GOOD-FOR-NOTHING YOUNGER BROTHER

Bai Wenjing offered to send Ye Ningwan back.

Ye Ningwan and Leng Linglong did not have any suspicion and agreed to Bai Wenjing.

They didn’t bring a driver with them when they came out, so Ye Ningwan had to catch a cab to get back.

It was much more convenient with Bai Wenjing offering to drive her.

However, shortly after getting on the car, Ye Ningwan noticed that the car was heading in a direction that was not towards the Zhan Family’s place.

Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her body, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked Bai Wenjing, "Mr. Bai, where are you taking me?"

Bai Wenjing turned his head, looking at her calmly, "It seems Miss Ye has already noticed. Well, Miss Ye is the Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, with superior medical skills, how could a strange feeling in your body escape your notice?"

"When did you drug me?" Ye Ningwan asked coldly.

It couldn’t have been placed in the car, otherwise she would have smelled it.

"Miss Ye has a keen sense of smell, naturally, I wouldn’t use any incense. It was in the drink, during the meal, the drink that Linglong handed to you." Bai Wenjing didn’t hide it and stated it calmly.

Ye Ningwan remembered now.

She had never been fond of drinks, but Leng Linglong was drinking something particularly tasty and insisted she try a cup.

She had no choice but to drink it.

But after drinking it, the taste seemed a bit odd, thinking it was just the drink’s taste, she didn’t think much of it.

Little did she know, something had been added to it.

"Did Linglong know?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Bai Wenjing shook his head, "She didn’t know. If she knew, how could she let you drink it? It was my own decision to add something in it and have it delivered by her hand. If it was me offering, you definitely wouldn’t drink it. But since it was from her, it was different."

"Yes, she’s so innocent, I couldn’t possibly suspect her." Ye Ningwan smiled bitterly.

She tried to move but found she couldn’t move at all.

Bai Wenjing, being a herbalist, indeed had good herbs on hand, and this one was really potent.

"Why do this to me? Is it because of Bai Qishu?" Ye Ningwan speculated.

Bai Wenjing sighed, "Miss Ye is indeed smart, it is because of my good-for-nothing younger brother."

"Since you know he’s useless, why do such a thing for him? Do you know what will happen if you kidnap me? Zhan Hanjue will surely react. Linglong is very fond of you and speaks of you with love in her eyes. If she knows you did this to me, she will probably be extremely disappointed. Is it worth hurting a girl who deeply loves you for a useless younger brother and putting yourself in a predicament?"

"Even if he’s useless, he’s still my brother, Miss Ye who doesn’t have blood-related family can’t understand this feeling." Bai Wenjing sighed.

Ye Ningwan pursed her lips, "Who says I don’t have blood-related siblings? However, my brother is much more capable than Mr. Bai’s brother. If he were as useless as Mr. Bai’s brother, I definitely wouldn’t care. But, can you tell me, what are you planning to do with your useless brother? Use me to exchange for him? Is it Li Qingqing who made you do this?"

"Yes, if I can hand over Miss Ye to Li Qingqing, she will release my brother."

"But has Mr. Bai ever thought that this might be a play directed by your useless brother and Li Qingqing together, just to deceive you? He also knows the consequences of your actions. Yet, he hasn’t considered your feelings at all and remains selfish, thinking only of himself," Ye Ningwan said.

"I have thought about these issues," Bai Wenjing said, "But unfortunately, it will disappoint Miss Ye. All the efforts Miss Ye made to persuade me are in vain. Look at this photo, if it were your brother, what would you do?"

Bai Wenjing took out his phone and showed Ye Ningwan a video.

In the video, Bai Qishu was lying on the ground, holding his chopped-off hand and howling in pain.

As he howled, he called out loudly for help, "Brother, save me, brother."

His cries were so heartrending that even Ye Ningwan felt chills.

She sighed lightly.

She had lost this step.

Whether it’s true or not, for a brother-loving Bai Wenjing, he most likely had to take it as true at this moment.

After all, sacrificing her to save his useless brother, he considered it a worthwhile trade.

Soon, Ye Ningwan began to feel sleepy, and gradually dozed off, leaning in the seat.

She didn’t know how long she slept, but when she woke up again, she found the car empty except for her.

She opened the car door, immediately a gun was pointed at her head.

"I didn’t intend to escape, I just wanted to see." Ye Ningwan quickly explained.

"Get back in." The man did not listen to her explanation and scolded sternly.

Ye Ningwan had to shrink back inside.

However, from the front, she could see the situation outside.

Bai Wenjing was below, probably negotiating with someone.

Soon, Bai Wenjing returned, followed by people carrying another person.

Bai Wenjing opened the car door, and Ye Ningwan got out of the car.

This place, she had no idea where it was, it was so dark, there weren’t even street lights, showing how desolate it was.

Ye Ningwan glanced behind Bai Wenjing at the person being held by two others.

It was Bai Qishu. One hand truly severed, he appeared weak all over, face pale.

In the middle of the night, seeing him was like seeing a ghost, quite eerie.

"You see, I wasn’t deceived, so I won the gamble." Bai Wenjing said.

Ye Ningwan smiled bitterly, "Congratulations on winning the gamble, can you tell me who I’m being traded to?"

"You’ll know when you get there," Bai Wenjing said after hesitating for a moment.

Ye Ningwan nodded, pushed forward by someone.

She walked over, finally seeing who was waiting at the end for her.

Sure enough, it was Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing rushed over, intending to hit her.

However, how could Ye Ningwan just wait for her to hit?

She grabbed her wrist, flung it forcefully, and snorted coldly, "Li Qingqing, you went through so much trouble to capture me not just to slap me, right? What, you want to trade me for the things in Feng Jiuzun’s hand? You think you can become the Sect Leader of the Holy Doctor Sect?"

"How did you know? Did Feng Jiuzun tell you?" Li Qingqing’s face changed, forgetting about hitting her.

Ye Ningwan said, "Of course, he likes me, so he’d be willing to tell me anything."

"Useless, I specially instructed him that this matter must not let you know." Li Qingqing cursed in anger.

Seeing she believed it, Ye Ningwan continued to deceive her, "Li Qingqing, have you ever considered that becoming the Sect Leader of the Holy Doctor Sect with just half a token is utterly impossible."

"Ye Ningwan, don’t take me for a fool, don’t think I don’t know, your Holy Doctor Sect uses tokens to command everyone. As long as I get the token, I am the Sect Leader, how can it not be done?" Li Qingqing said.

It seemed she had thoroughly investigated the matters of the Holy Doctor Sect.

Ye Ningwan didn’t know where she’d gotten her information, sneered, "Looks like you’re really deceived. Moreover, Feng Jiuzun only has half, how will you command everyone without the other half?"
