Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1432 - 1421: The Young Master of the Prestigious Family
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
Ye Bai and Shen Huiran’s gaze towards Ye Yao was particularly cold, as if she were an enemy rather than their daughter.
"Ignore her. She’ll regret it later." Shen Huiran said coldly.
Ye Xingyan hesitated to speak: "But she is still Dad and Mom’s biological daughter. Although Sister Yao is indeed closer to Uncle, that’s just human nature."
"Nature, a survival instinct, you mean? She knows that her Uncle has more influence in this family, so she even ignores her own parents." If Shen Huiran used to merely dislike her biological daughter, now she despises her.
Deep down, she held a superstitious belief, always feeling that Ye Yao brought her misfortune. Ever since Ye Yao returned to the family, she had been increasingly unlucky; things went awry, with only her foster daughter Ye Xingyan bringing her comfort.
"Mom, don’t get angry. It’s not good for your health. Since you don’t like her, let’s arrange separate accommodations for Sister Ye Yao from now on."
"Arrange separate accommodation for her? She’s dreaming if she thinks she’ll get a cent of this family’s money in the future." Shen Huiran looked at Ye Yao’s exquisite dress and jewelry, feeling nothing but distaste as she spoke heartlessly.
Ye Xingyan listened and smiled knowingly, as if victory were already hers.
The family dreamed wildly about Ye Yao’s future, oblivious that it was all a fantasy. Let alone any harm coming to Ye Qiu; even if it did, Ye Tang wouldn’t hand Ye Family over to Ye Bai.
"We’re being followed." On the way home, the bodyguard in the passenger seat suddenly spoke.
"Followed?" Ye Yao exclaimed and quickly looked towards the back of the car.
"What about Mom and Dad?" Ye Qiu was now more concerned about their safety, "They left earlier than us, have they reached home yet?"
"The captain reported that Mr. Ye and Madam Zhang are already asleep, and there’s no sign of anyone suspicious nearby."
"Order additional patrols."
"Uncle, what do we do now?" Ye Yao forced herself to stay calm as she spoke.
"Stop the car."
"Young Master, I don’t recommend stopping now. What if they’re armed or in greater numbers?" The bodyguard frowned as he advised.
"It’s alright, I came prepared." Ye Qiu remained calm. Since starting his rehabilitation, he had always kept some powder with him as a precaution, not expecting he’d need it so soon.
Ye Qiu’s estate was in the outskirts. By day, many vehicles passed, but at night it was desolate. As they stopped, the pursuers got out of their car with sneers.
"Come out with your hands on your head."
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes, surprised they had guns despite the country’s strict regulations. He exchanged a glance with Ye Yao, signaling her to stay calm.
"What do you want? Money? I can give you that."
"Unexpectedly, you, a pampered young master, can stay so calm. It’s amusing to me. Money, I want, but I want you too." Though he said this, he made no move to immediately shoot.
"Boss, why not just shoot him, what’s with all this talking?" A lean, small man said, then leered at Ye Yao, making Ye Qiu seethe with anger.
"Who sent you?" Ye Qiu suppressed his anger and asked, "How much are they paying? I’ll triple it for you, you must know my worth."
"Boy, is that why you boldly stopped the car? We have principles, don’t get clever. Skinny one, tie them up. Before killing him, let’s ransom them for a big sum."
"Boss, but this chick..." The thin one chuckled as he approached Ye Yao.
"A dog’s tail can’t be straightened. With money, you can have any woman. Hold it in, don’t ruin my plans."
"Boss, just this once, this chick is quite something." The skinny one couldn’t suppress his lust.
The boss lost his patience: "Alright, take her aside if you want. Don’t dirty my sight."
"Thank you, boss. Hey pretty girl, don’t worry, big brother won’t treat you badly today."
In Ye Yao’s terrified eyes, Ye Qiu spoke coldly: "I fear you won’t have that chance."
"What?"
The kidnappers just heard this and suddenly felt weak, unable to hold onto their guns, which the bodyguard quickly kicked away.
"What did you plan to do to my niece?" Ye Qiu approached, fiercely stepping on the skinny one’s face, his gaze terrifying. "The girl I guard with my heart, you dare sully?"
He ground his shoe into the man’s face, then feeling unsatisfied, kicked him hard in the groin, again and again, until even Uncle Li and the bodyguard were a bit alarmed. But this man deserved it for his shameless ideas.
"Uncle, what’s happened to them?" Ye Yao asked curiously, puzzled how several strong men suddenly collapsed. Though their minds were clear, their bodies were weak – what was going on?
The bodyguard thought deeply; he’d heard that some labs developed medicines that could do even worse when injected, but this situation was different. Just moments ago, they were vigorous, showing no signs of having been injected. Did they not know themselves? How could they be dumb enough to still try harm?
"Poisoned." Ye Qiu explained simply.
"Poisoned? When? Uncle, how do you know?" Ye Yao voiced everyone’s doubt.
"I poisoned them just now."
"You poisoned them? But I didn’t see you do anything, and why are we okay?"
"Because, when we were in the car, I had already given you the antidote to smell."
The bodyguard was stunned: "Are medicines today this potent? Have I been out of the organization too long?"
Ye Qiu laughed: "My original, unique to me."
The bodyguard exhaled in relief; he thought it odd since he kept up-to-date on various news for his work. A breakthrough like this would be hard to miss. But the Young Master was impressive; how did he get it? Ye Yao asked the question for him.
"Uncle, when did you get something so powerful?"
"Secret. But if you want, I’ll give you some and teach you how to use it to protect yourself as a girl going out alone."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle." Ye Yao agreed cheerfully.
The bodyguard thought inwardly, anyone daring to cross the Eldest Lady of the Ye Family in the future would surely meet disaster. He prayed for them.
"Speak, who’s behind all this?" After finishing the questioning, Ye Qiu’s gaze returned to the kidnappers.
