Chapter 1395: Chapter 1395: The Handsome Man Scheme (3)

Su Hongxing increasingly felt that it was the heavens’ favor that allowed her to meet Ye Qilan. But as much as the heavens blessed her, they also loved to play tricks, giving her not one but two Ye Qilans, leaving her unable to choose.

Time flew by as she chatted with Qiao Qiao, and soon it was bedtime. Talking all the way, they headed upstairs.

Just then, Qiao Qiao received a call from Wen Beibei.

Su Hongxing saw the call too and felt puzzled, “Why would she call you?”

Logically speaking, Wen Beibei and Qiao Qiao had no contact anymore; there was no need for Wen Beibei to call her.

Qiao Qiao pressed the reject button. “Who knows what sort of plan she’s up to? I’m done dealing with her.”

Su Hongxing felt Qiao Qiao made the right choice, but Wen Beibei was relentless, calling repeatedly. Finally, Qiao Qiao had no choice but to answer, “What’s up?”

Wen Beibei let out a sigh of relief and responded, “Xiaoqiao, I’ve heard that Lin Zhi is the mastermind behind harming Ye Qilan…”

“Hold on. Who did you hear this from?” Qiao Qiao interrupted Wen Beibei. Su Hongxing, who was eavesdropping nearby, was equally puzzled.

“I—I figured it out myself,” Wen Beibei explained, then got straight to the point. “I couldn’t get through to Su’s phone, so I had to come to you. Su has connections with Lin Zhi. Could you ask Su to help convince Lin Zhi to free my sister?”

Qiao Qiao glanced at Su Hongxing, who shook her head, indicating that she didn’t want to get involved.

In her previous life, the scandalous photos of her were linked to Wen Beibei. For someone like that, Su Hongxing felt she was already being kind by not kicking her when she was down—why should she go out of her way to repay harm with kindness?

“Aren’t you supposed to be quite capable yourself? If you want to save your sister, that’s your own business. Su has no obligation to help you. Don’t call me again—I’d rather pretend I don’t know someone like you.” After finishing her sentence, Qiao Qiao hung up the phone.

Wen Beibei, unwilling to accept defeat, dialed again. She persisted for half an hour, but Qiao Qiao didn’t pick up.

Left with no choice, she finally called Ye Shiqing instead.

Ye Shiqing, seeing the caller ID, hesitated before answering.

With a raspy voice, Wen Beibei said, “Brother Shiqing, I’m begging you, could you help save my sister? I heard Lin Zhi is the mastermind, so she must be the one who kidnapped my sister. Can you talk to Lin Zhi and ask her to let my sister go? You know my sister isn’t in good health, and I’m really worried about her safety. Right now, you’re the only person I can turn to…”

Ye Shiqing couldn’t bring himself to refuse Wen Beibei.

After all, it was because of the Ye Family that Wen Baobao had been dragged into this mess. And now that Wen Baobao hadn’t returned home, he couldn’t just ignore the situation.

On Monday morning, he went to Jiangyin Group to find Lin Zhi.

The moment he saw Lin Zhi, his first thought was that she had become much thinner. Her complexion looked bad—a stark pallor washed over her face.

“Shiqing, is something the matter?” Lin Zhi gestured for Ye Shiqing to sit down.

Ye Shiqing didn’t beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly, “Baobao is in your hands, isn’t she? You released the third one, so why haven’t you released Baobao?”

Lin Zhi froze momentarily, shaking her head in reply, “Baobao? You mean your ex-girlfriend Wen Baobao?”

Seeing Lin Zhi’s reaction, Ye Shiqing frowned slightly. “Wasn’t she taken by you?”

Everything pointed to Lin Zhi as the one who abducted Wen Baobao—it was Lin Zhi who orchestrated all of this.

If Lin Zhi hadn’t kidnapped Wen Baobao, then had they been wrong from the very beginning?

“I didn’t kidnap Wen Baobao. I don’t even know who she is,” Lin Zhi replied, enunciating each word clearly.
