Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Hero Saves the Beauty

Gong Xiaoqiao regarded him warily, "What does he want with me?"

"Qin Yao is his adopted son; you’re naturally going to be his daughter-in-law! Just between us, our boss probably has a lot of guilty consciences, living to such an age, he neither has children nor grandchildren. Four years ago, he fell for Qin Yao at first sight—ahem, I mean, they hit it off from the start and he’s treated him like his own son ever since."

So by extension, if he cares for the house, he cares for the crows on its roof. Since you’re the woman Qin Yao likes, he naturally wants to meet you too! My only job is to take you to see him, and I didn’t expect to also play the hero saving the beauty on the way!"

Gong Xiaoqiao contemplated with narrowed eyes, listening to Blaine’s tone, Huo Yandong didn’t know her identity, nor was he aware of her existence.

No wonder, otherwise, why had he never sought her out all these years.

Gong Xiaoqiao suddenly felt a moment of clarity, it seemed that this must be Gu Hangshen’s final bargaining chip. Was he hoping to use this secret to make Huo Yandong kill her unknowingly and then be overwhelmed with grief or something?

Damn! The more she thought about it, the more twisted it seemed! But the more twisted, the closer it was to Gu Hangshen’s way of thinking.

Now, they were many and armed, and she had no way to fight back, so she could only go with them and watch for her chance.

Blaine was about to drive when suddenly someone rushed out diagonally.

"Xiaoqiao——"

In an instant, all the guns were aimed at that person.

Gong Xiaoqiao hurriedly shouted, "Blaine, don’t shoot! That’s my friend!"

Blaine looked at her skeptically.

Gong Xiaoqiao poked her head out, "Mu Yao! How did you come here?"

Mu Yao ran over anxiously, "I didn’t feel right letting you go alone, so I followed! What’s going on?"

Gong Xiaoqiao, not wanting to worry her, reassured her, "It’s okay, I’ll just go with them and come back!"

"Don’t lie to me, how can it be okay! If we’re going, I’m coming with you! Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I won’t leave!" Mu Yao insisted determinedly.

Gong Xiaoqiao looked at Blaine with some difficulty and whispered, "Force her to leave."

She didn’t want Mu Yao to get dragged into this mess.

Blaine completely ignored her, "Oh well! Alright then! Considering she’s so loyal and a beautiful woman on top of that! Hey, beauty, please sit over here!"

Gong Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes in speechless disbelief—clearly, beautiful women were more important!

Mu Yao didn’t take the seat beside Blaine but opened the back door and sat next to Gong Xiaoqiao.

Gong Xiaoqiao was somewhat helpless, "Why are you following me? You’re just my assistant! It’s after hours, you have no obligation to me."

"Off the clock, you’re my friend, and that’s all the more reason to care!"

When they arrived at a certain place, both Xiaoqiao and Mu Yao had black cloth blindfolds put on them.

Soon, they were likely going to some secret base of Huo Yandong’s.

Xiaoqiao had no sense of direction to begin with; even if she weren’t blindfolded, being led in such a roundabout way, she wouldn’t be able to find her way.

First, they drove for about fifteen minutes, then got out and walked for another fifteen minutes. After half an hour, they finally arrived.

In the meantime, Xiaoqiao could faintly hear the sound of electronic locks beeping, voice-activated combined with fingerprint.

Just how paranoid is this crime boss?

Wasn’t he tired of always hiding himself so securely?

But then again, if he wasn’t this careful, old and cunning, he probably wouldn’t have survived this long under Gu Hangshen’s pursuit.

Mu Yao was left waiting outside, while Xiaoqiao and Gong Hannian were taken inside.

The black cloth covering their eyes was removed. Xiaoqiao adjusted to the light and then found herself standing in a room that was lavishly and gaudily decorated.
