When she first arrived at the farm, she couldn't wait to make up for the meat her beloved son had lost, and naturally, the He family would also get a share—after all, she was there to pay off a debt.
Cooking with the spiritual spring water was a common practice. It was probably around that time that He Lin quietly cured himself of the poison.
Looking back now, He Lin was rarely home and seldom close to An An, which was probably because of this.
At first, I thought he just had fair skin and got tanned from working on the farm. Looking back now, I realize he wasn't actually tanned; it was just that the contrast with his previous healthy skin tone made her subconsciously think that way.
"What are you planning to do now?"
"I can handle it. Let's leave it at that and not bring it up again."
"Yes, I respect your decision."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Lian forced herself to fall asleep.
The next day.
A piece of news spread throughout the streets and alleys—the kidnapper who caused panic some time ago was found tied up and left at the entrance of the police station early this morning.
When she was discovered, her mouth was gagged, and she struggled to make sobbing noises. It was someone across the street who saw her and informed the staff on duty.
Where have you been all this time?
In the interrogation room, Jiang Qingke was covered in mud, and her hair was so messy that it covered most of her face.
"I've been kidnapped."
It was truly laughable that the kidnapper would say such a thing. But the interrogators were professionals, and they continued to ask, "Tell me who it is? If you don't know, describe what the person looks like."
Jiang Qingke shook her head: "I don't know. But I'm very sure that Yu Lian kidnapped me."
"Who are you talking about?"
"It's that incredibly successful pharmaceutical company owner. She must have kidnapped me and tortured me!"
Jiang Qingke was brought under control: "Please calm down, don't hurt yourself."
"It really is her! I have no reason to lie!"
The officer did not interrupt her again, but observed her and recorded everything she said.
Before Yu Lian even returned home, the police came knocking on her door. They had been in contact with her for some time, and only now had they finally gotten a result.
"Ms. Yu, we've found the person. Could you come back to the police station with me?"
Yu Lian sensed that something was wrong.
"it is good."
She was very cooperative, but she contacted her family before leaving.
Upon arriving at the police station, Yu Lian did not immediately meet with Jiang Qingke. The police officers separated the two.
"Ms. Yu, Jiang Qing, who kidnapped you, admitted that you abducted her during your disappearance and subjected her to inhuman torture?"
Yu Lian's pupils constricted sharply: "She really said that?"
"Hmm, is there anything you'd like to say?"
"It wasn't me. But I suggest you have a doctor assess her mental state. You should be able to track my movements. I'm incredibly busy at work; I have neither the reason nor the ability to catch an escaped criminal."
"Well, we just want you to cooperate and meet with her, okay? Don't worry, you're absolutely safe."
The police knew Yu Lian well. She had been kidnapped, and the government was putting pressure on her. Jiang Qing had kept the officers in the area from getting a good night's sleep.
Her sudden appearance is highly suspicious. After all, if she were truly that kind person, she wouldn't have left someone at the door.
Judging from Jiang Qingke's physical condition, she had been starved for a period of time, but there were no bruises or any signs of abuse on her body, which completely contradicted what she said.
"Of course you can. But she hates me, so my going in might only upset her and not bring her any good news."
After explaining herself, Yu Lian entered the interrogation room accompanied by a police officer.
At that moment, Jiang Qingke was wolfing down the porridge they had brought her. The noise didn't stop her from taking her eyes off the white porridge in front of her.
She finished her food and looked up, but the bowl slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
Before anyone could react, she lunged at Yu Lian—but she forgot she was handcuffed and would only hurt herself.
Clutching her bleeding hand, Jiang Qingke kept uttering vulgarities, all curses directed at Yu Lian.
"You'll die a horrible death! I'll make sure your whole family pays the price..."
Compared to the anger of her companions, Yu Lian seemed much calmer.
"It's okay, let her talk. You can talk to her again when she's too tired."
Jiang Qing could yell until she was exhausted, but Yu Lian didn't react at all.
"You'd better let me die, or I'll definitely kill you when I get out. But you don't seem to have the ability."
Yu Lian knew that her indifference was driving her crazy, but now was not the time for her to perform a solo act.
"You say I kidnapped you, do you have any proof?"
"Besides you, who else in this world hates me so much and wants to torment me?"
Yu Lian wasn't in the mood today; she had a bunch of annoying things to deal with. She looked at the police officer beside her, who gave her a look, signaling her to wait a little longer.
Yu Lian did as she was told. From beginning to end, Jiang Qingke was like a madman filled with extreme hatred, constantly cursing, taking a break when she was too tired to continue.
In the end, the police officers who wanted to ask questions gave up and left with Yu Lian. Even after they left and the door closed, Jiang Qingke's cursing grew louder and louder every second.
"Ms. Yu, thank you for your cooperation. I think you're right, we should have a doctor assess her mental state. I will notify you immediately if there are any further developments."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
After leaving the police station, Yu Lian called her family to let them know she was safe, and then rushed to the pharmaceutical factory to carry out her plans.
She first made a phone call, and then asked Xiao Xu to bring several important senior executives of the company to a neighborhood outside the company, gathering them together under the guise of having a meal.
"The boss isn't here?"
Xiao Xu nodded: "But this meal was specially requested by the boss, so please sit down."
It's obvious something's wrong.
Yu Lian told Xiao Xu to keep the phone line open, and Xiao Xu repeated each sentence she said.
On the phone, Yu Lian gave everyone a simple greeting. That single gesture was enough to make everyone uneasy.
The company is now on the verge of collapse. Even with Vincent's intervention, most people believe the company is on the decline. Some people are already considering leaving, a fact Yu Lian has known all along, but she hasn't brought it up directly.
But now that her plans for the company have changed, she can no longer pretend to be ignorant.
"Listen up, everyone. The boss wants me to pass on a message: Anyone who wants to resign can tell her their request now. If you miss this dinner, you'll miss your chance."
After Xiao Xu finished speaking, he looked at everyone seriously, but no one dared to say a word.
"Now that I've said that, the boss wasn't testing us; he was being sincere."
After waiting for two minutes, someone finally stood up: "Me."
