1120: 774 Chess Pieces (Thanks for the tip!)_2 1120: 774 Chess Pieces (Thanks for the tip!)_2 The unfamiliar visitor did not respond.
Yu Hui’s agitated emotions slowly cald down as she uncontrollably began to recall last night’s final phone call.
Looking back now, there seed to be sothing unusual in Luo Han’s words.
“Is he…
really dead?”
Although she anticipated it, as soone like him was unlikely to co to a good end, the reality of the mont still left Yu Hui sowhat distraught.
“If you want to ensure your daughter’s safety, follow .”
Lan Peizhi’s reply did not address the question and completely disregarded the other’s feelings.
Yu Hui’s gaze trembled incessantly.
She was, after all, no ordinary housewife.
She took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the severe emotional turbulence.
“Why should I trust you?”
Compared to Luo Han, her daughter was the most precious thing in her life.
“Three minutes.
Make your choice.”
Lan Peizhi said simply.
Yu Hui couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Without a doubt, this was a critical mont.
It may even concern her daughter’s life and death!
If Luo Han really had an accident, it certainly wasn’t anything as mundane as a heart attack!
How could soone foresee their own sudden illness?
Luo Han’s words in last night’s phone call, unprecedented in nature, were like delivering a last testant, clearly foretelling of sothing about to happen!
If it wasn’t accidental, then what kind of trouble had Luo Han stirred up this ti?
For soone so influential in Jiang to die so silently.
If dealing with Luo Han was so easy.
Then what about her own daughter?
The recall of her passbook being suspended sent chills down Yu Hui’s spine, as a wave of icy coldness shot up her back.
Three minutes.
The choice between life and death.
If it were just herself, Yu Hui wouldn’t be afraid; after all, she had felt like a walking corpse since the day she was taken by force.
But it involved her daughter!
“Can you give so proof?”
It wasn’t a challenge.
The look in Yu Hui’s eyes was more like pleading
She hoped the other party would give her a reason to trust.
“Two more minutes.”
Cold and ruthless.
Yu Hui felt like she could hear the ticking of a countdown.
Logic and intuition reminded her that Luo Han’s accident was likely a confird fact.
Without Luo Han, her daughter would lose her support.
It was so easy to deal with Luo Han, and if soone truly wanted to harm her daughter, they probably wouldn’t bother with such complications.
Yu Hui’s brain worked at high speed in a short ti, and then her gaze solidified as she looked at the unfamiliar visitor at the doorway.
“Please co in.”
It was obvious.
She had made a decision.
In such a situation, she had no other choice but to rely on her instincts and take a gamble!
“Bang.”
The door closed.
“Feel free to sit down; I’ll go pack.”
Yu Hui hurried to the bedroom.
As Lan Peizhi stepped into the living room, she surveyed her surroundings, her gaze soon resting on the puzzle on the coffee table.
The puzzle was incomplete, with only a few pieces remaining.
Based on the pieces put together, it should represent a family of three.
“Auntie, are you a friend of my daddy?”
The tender child’s voice sounded softly.
Lan Peizhi turned her head.
The little girl stood there, staring at her curiously and timidly.
Lan Peizhi was certainly not good with children and, without paying attention, sat down on the sofa.
The ignored little girl hesitated, still approached, ca beside her and looked at the puzzle on the coffee table, “This was bought for by mommy, I’ve been working on it for two days, and it’s almost done.”
Lan Peizhi did not speak and simply picked up a puzzle piece to fit into the unfinished pattern.
The little girl looked at her.
Then.
A tender little hand stretched out and picked up a puzzle piece.
Lan Peizhi seed oblivious.
Silently, the young and the elder cooperated to continue the unfinished family portrait.
Under pressure, Yu Hui quickly packed a few clothes.
When she ca out dragging her suitcase, she saw her daughter standing next to the unfamiliar woman.
Her thoughts drifted.
“It’s done!”
A happy laugh rang out.
“Yao Yao.”
Yu Hui called out.
The little girl turned around, exclaiming happily, “Mommy, I’ve finished the puzzle!”
Imdiately after, she noticed the suitcase her mother was dragging.
“Mommy, aren’t we waiting for Daddy?”
Looking at her daughter’s genuinely adorable face, Yu Hui felt a bittersweet ache in her heart and forced a composed smile, “Daddy has already left, so he sent an auntie to pick us up.”
The little girl turned back to look at Lan Peizhi.
Perhaps it was Lan Peizhi’s first ti playing such a puzzle ga, she rose silently.
“Yao Yao, co here.”
Yu Hui beckoned her daughter over.
“Mommy, can I take this puzzle with ?”
The little girl inquired.
“It’s too much of a hassle, not convenient.
If you like it, Mommy will buy you another one later, as many as you want.”
Clearly, the little girl was reluctant to part with the puzzle she had just completed, but showing a level of maturity beyond her years and understanding that it was inconvenient, she didn’t say another word and obediently walked over to take her mother’s hand.
“I’ll be away for a while, I’m counting on you to look after the house.”
Yu Hui said to the nanny.
“Rest assured, Ms.
Yu.”
Yu Hui nodded, took her daughter’s hand, and looked at Lan Peizhi, “Let’s go.”
The three of them left the multi-million dollar apartnt.
“I haven’t had the chance to ask your na yet.”
In the elevator.
Yu Hui was pulling the suitcase with one hand and holding her daughter’s hand with the other.
This ti, she wasn’t ignored.
“Lan Peizhi.”
Lan Peizhi.
At first, Yu Hui didn’t think much of it, but as she watched the descending floor numbers, a spark ignited in her mind.
Wait.
This na, why does it sound familiar?
A look of disbelief gradually spread across her face as she stared uncertainly at the woman beside her.
“Are you the president of the Donghai Comrce Association?”
“Mhm.”
Her voice was calm.
But Yu Hui’s heart erupted like thunder, violently shaken!
It was possible for the world to have duplicates of a na, but the identity of being president of the Donghai Comrce Association could not be replicated.
Which ant this stranger who ca to pick up her and her daughter was the world-renowned “Blood Guanyin”!
As a pillar of Jiang Television, Yu Hui’s horizons were undoubtedly broader than the average person, and while she might not have personally t so famous figures, she must have heard so rumors about them.
The president of the Donghai Comrce Association was prestigious enough, but this title barely began to describe the legendary stature of this woman.
She was even more domineering than Luo Han.
In her heart, she could be considered the pride of contemporary won.
“Miss Lan, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you.”
Having confird her identity, Yu Hui’s deanor involuntarily changed.
Today might be her first eting with this legendary figure, but she had heard plenty of unofficial stories about her.
Regardless of the veracity of those stories, at least in her heart, she always felt that—this person was not the sa as Luo Han.
Perhaps it was due to a subjective bias as a woman, or maybe it was an inherent sixth sense.
“The place you’re going might not be very nice, be prepared.”
Unaffected by being recognized, Lan Peizhi’s deanor remained as before.
“It’s okay, I’ve been through worse.”
Yu Hui squeezed her daughter’s hand with a forced smile.
“Ding.”
The elevator doors opened.
Lan Peizhi stepped out first.
“Mommy, where are we going?
Aren’t we going abroad for fun?”
The little girl looked up and asked.
Yu Hui glanced at the figure ahead, “You’ll know when we get there.”
Knowing the other party was Blood Guanyin, Yu Hui’s mood involuntarily relaxed a great deal, and she followed closely behind with her daughter.
The three of them walked out of Jiang’s premier affluent community.
At the entrance of the community.
A black MPV was waiting.
The driver got out and helped with the luggage.
“Thank you.”
Yu Hui looked back at her ho, then promptly took her daughter and got into the car.
From the diagonally opposite side.
An electric car had been parked there earlier, even arriving a bit before the black MPV.
However, for so reason, it just stood still, without any additional action.
Even as the MPV carrying Yu Hui and her daughter started, it remained stationary.
The black MPV set off, smoothly driving away.
From the rear diagonal.
The window of the electric car that had arrived earlier was lowered; the woman who could have stepped out earlier and affectionately called “Aunt Hu Die” by the little girl, watched the receding tail of the MPV with a tranquil expression and put on her sunglasses.
