Chapter 219: Chapter 219: The one meeting them is a woman.

Bo Yuanshan glanced at Shen Ruyun, whose face was deathly pale, and was about to dial a phone number.

Here was a woman so deranged that she spent her late husband’s last possessions gamboling away her days in a casino, betting against a three-year-old child! Anyone with clear eyesight would know whom to trust!

Before Bo Yuanshan’s call could go through, Qin Yan’s cellphone rang first.

It was the one Lu Yi had given her at the hospital.

Qin Yan glanced at the phone screen; it was an unfamiliar number.

Knowing not many people had this number, Qin Yan didn’t think much of it and answered it directly.

"Hello? Mrs. Bo there?"

Qin Yan paused, clearly not expecting the caller to be Gu Jinyan.

She looked up in the direction of the study and met Bo Yunshen’s gaze.

There wasn’t a hint of warmth in his eyes. Seeing her look his way, a look of disgust even flashed across his face.

Qin Yan frowned. The person on the line, noticing Qin Yan’s lack of response, grew anxious and spoke up,

"Sister-in-law, this thing about your niece being kidnapped by Old Bo, could there be some kind of misunderstanding? During the police interrogation, one of the kidnappers said the person who met with them was a woman!"

Qin Yan’s mouth twitched slightly and she handed the phone to Bo Yuanshan.

"Dad, Young Mr. Gu is calling. He says there’s been a new development in the kidnapping case."

Having served as the Bo Family’s head for so many years, Bo Yuanshan still felt a moment of discomfort on hearing Qin Yan say this.

He went into the study. He had already learned of the events that had taken place in the garage, and everything Qin Yinyin had said to Bo Yunshen had naturally reached his ears without missing a word!

A "new development" was merely an addition of Shen Ruyun as a co-conspirator.

What Qin Yan said was simply a more palatable twist on it.

Just as he was reaching out to take the phone, Mrs. Bo snatched it away.

She turned on the speaker and asked Gu Jinyan what the development was; Gu Jinyan repeated himself, then continued,

"Auntie, the kidnapper said that the woman who met with them, they all recognized her; she’s the Third Mrs. Bo who gambled with them!"

"And what about Yunshen?" Mrs. Bo asked anxiously, prompting a pause on the other end, "They didn’t mention Old Bo’s name; they said this is all they know about the matter."

"That means, then, that this doesn’t involve my Yunshen!"

Saying so, Mrs. Bo threw the phone down and reached out to strangle Shen Ruyun’s neck.

"You’ve done enough harm to one of my sons, carrying out such vile deeds, and you still plan to make my other son take the fall for you!"

Shen Ruyun shivered with fright and instinctively tried to dodge, but Mrs. Bo grabbed her by the collar and delivered a slap before pointing at the Bo Mansion’s main gate and saying vehemently,

"Get out! Our Bo Family cannot afford to have a daughter-in-law like you!"

The color drained from Shen Ruyun’s face, and she stammered, "Mother, what are you saying?"

"Get out!"

Bo Yuanshan repeated, "Years ago, it was our Bo Family’s failure to discern properly that brought you into our home, Shen Ruyun. I will take back your shares in Bo Group! If you have any sense, you’ll leave on your own!"

"Out of respect for Yun Ci, I’ll let this go!"

"But starting today, you will have no relations with our Bo Family whatsoever!"

Shen Ruyun didn’t even utter a word of plea before she was escorted out by the servants of the Bo Mansion!

Qin Yan’s brows twitched.

To her knowledge, with Shen Ruyun’s gambling addiction, Bo Yuanshan reclaiming her shares in Bo Group and being left without money amounted to taking Shen Ruyun’s life!

She did not pity Shen Ruyun, after all, it was Shen Ruyun who had initially been after Yinyin’s life!

Keeping her around was a disaster waiting to happen; who’s to say there wouldn’t be a second time?

As soon as Shen Ruyun left, the living room fell quiet again. Qin Yan was about to leave, but Bo Yuanshan stopped her:

"Yanyan, the child has been frightened, so don’t go back today. Just stay at the old mansion!"

"Her injury seems very serious, and you still have to go to work tomorrow. In the old mansion, there are servants and doctors, which is more convenient!"

Bo Yuanshan appeared to be afraid that Qin Yan would refuse and directly took Qin Yinyin from her arms, saying, "Moreover, if Yinyin gets a fever again in the middle of the night, wouldn’t you have to take the child to the hospital?"

"The hospital is a place with all sorts. You can’t manage by yourself, so stay for the child’s sake!"

Qin Yan hesitated for a moment but finally nodded her head.

She actually couldn’t wait to leave immediately, but what Bo Yuanshan said was true.

She herself was also injured. More than likely, she wouldn’t be able to take good care of Yinyin.

Moreover, after scolding Shen Ruyun, Qin Yan also got her second wind. From the conversations with Yinyin and Gu Jinyan, it seemed that Bo Yunshen really had nothing to do with Yinyin’s kidnapping?

Bo Yuanshan let out a sigh of relief, handed the child to Mrs. Zhang, and gave Qin Yan a look, saying, "Yanyan, come with me to the study..."

Mrs. Bo heard this and immediately blocked Bo Yuanshan’s path:

"Bo Yuanshan, what do you mean by this?"

"The child’s issue has nothing to do with Yunshen, and you’ve been whipping Yunshen for so long! Do you plan to continue?"

"Yunshen has done nothing wrong. If you dare to touch him, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Bo Yuanshan’s face immediately darkened.

"Shut your mouth!"

"That damn boy has turned out this way, all because you spoiled him!"

"I could kill him!"

Mrs. Bo’s eyes turned red in an instant. Pointing her finger at Qin Yan, she asked, "Is it all because of her?"

"Qin Yan, I’ve been good to you!"

"All I have left is Yunshen... Do you still want to take his life?"

Qin Yan’s eyebrows twitched, and she vaguely said, "Mom, don’t worry, Dad won’t hit Yunshen anymore."

If Bo Yunshen didn’t kidnap Yinyin, then wasn’t this beating for nothing?

Moreover, Bo Yuanshan’s intention in calling her to the study was something she could guess. He probably just wanted Bo Yunshen to apologize to her.

She was the one who should be apologizing!

As for the matter of Qin Yinyin’s kidnapping, Qin Yan didn’t say more to Mrs. Bo. Mrs. Bo had been through too many shocks today!

She was afraid that if she spoke out, Mrs. Bo wouldn’t be able to handle the shock.

After speaking, Qin Yan followed Bo Yuanshan directly into the study.

The moment they entered, Bo Yuanshan saw Bo Yunshen sitting in a chair, the corners of his lips tinged with a mocking smile.

Bo Yuanshan was infuriated, it was obvious just by looking that there was no sense of repentance in him!

"You beast, who told you to get up?!"

Bo Yunshen’s eyebrows twitched, and he set down the newspaper in his hand, speaking softly, "Dad, kneeling is very tiring!"

"When you went out, you didn’t say I couldn’t get up."

Bo Yunshen had that ability to provoke the fire inside Bo Yuanshan in just a few words!

The words had barely left his mouth when Bo Yuanshan, almost reflexively, lashed out with a whip at Bo Yunshen!

Qin Yan instinctively saw that as the whip sailed out, Bo Yunshen’s tall figure sitting in the chair suddenly tensed.

But perhaps because she was present, Bo Yunshen bit back any sound, not letting out even a whimper despite the pain.
