Chapter 154: The Value Of The Information
She actually made Min Guili not hesitate to destroy the surveillance cameras on the entire floor in his hospital and seriously plan to kill a small fry like Qiu Jian.
However, it seemed like Qiu Jian didn’t know that the person who really attacked her was not Bai Shuangshuang, but Min Guili.
“Why did she want to kill you?”
Seeing her hesitation, Min Rufeng continued to smile warmly and said, “Of course, you can choose not to tell me. If you leave here, what awaits you is death.”
He had such a gentle expression, but the words he said were so frightening.
Qiu Jian looked at Min Rufeng and a sense of fear slowly rose from the bottom of her heart.
“I-I can tell you, but you have to guarantee my safety.” Qiu Jian mustered up the courage to say this because the fear she had for Min Rufeng was real.
“Are you qualified to negotiate with me?”
Qiu Jian’s expression froze and turned pale.
No!
She had no right to negotiate with him!
“Either you tell me or leave now. The choice is yours.”
“…I’ll talk! But before that, I have something to ask Second Young Master Min.”
Min Rufeng signaled her with his eyes.
Qiu Jian gritted her teeth, “Why did Second Young Master Min save me?” Min Rufeng didn’t have any relationship with her, so it was impossible for him to simply save her. And Min Rufeng didn’t know that Bai Shuangshuang wanted to kill her, so naturally, he wouldn’t have saved her because she was the person Bai Shuangshuang wanted to kill.
Min Rufeng suddenly decided to be kind and do the right thing?
That was even more impossible.
Min Rufeng might look gentle, but in fact, after just a short interaction, she could already sense that he was not a kind person.
“Miss Qiu, you must have forgotten that the Imperial Capital Hospital belongs to the Min Family. If someone wants to kill someone in the Min Family’s territory, isn’t it akin to provoking the Min Family’s authority? Since I’m a member of the Min Family and happened to see it, how can I ignore it?” Min Rufeng said very casually, making Qiu Jian completely unable to tell if his words were true or false.
Looking at him suspiciously, Qiu Jian said, “I don’t know the exact details. One day, I was in a bad mood and I asked the nurse to find a wheelchair to push me out of the ward. I saw Bai Shuangshuang at the corner of a corridor and was about to call her. However, I heard that she seemed to be talking to someone, so I didn’t disturb her.”
“But the more I listened, the more I felt that something was wrong. So, I sent the nurse away and continued listening.”
“Who was the person talking to her?” Min Rufeng asked.
Qiu Jian shook her head. “I couldn’t see him. They were standing at the corner of the staircase.”
Min Rufeng didn’t probe further and quickly changed the topic. “What did she say?” It was as if that earlier question was just a spur of the moment.
Qiu Jian couldn’t read his mind at all.
“He said let Qin Bailu test the water first and find out what Master Nine thinks about Yan Jinyu. If Master Nine doesn’t care about Yan Jinyu, then let Qin Bailu settle Yan Jinyu first. They don’t have to touch her themselves. If Master Nine values Yan Jinyu and attacking Yan Jinyu has angered Master Nine, Qin Bailu will be the one to suffer too.”
“She even said that even if Qin Bailu can’t deal with Yan Jinyu, she still has a lot of uses. There are countless ladies in the capital who are coveting the position of the Yin Family’s Second Young Madam. Let Qin Bailu be the one to get rid of them.”
Qiu Jian could not understand why Bai Shuangshuang would treat Qin Bailu like this.
No matter what, Qin Bailu was Bai Shuangshuang’s biological daughter, but Bai Shuangshuang actually…
At the same time, she felt Qin Bailu deserved it while feeling sorry for her at the same time.
She had heard that on the day she officially fell out with Qin Bailu. She wanted to tell Qin Bailu about it, but Qin Bailu actually fell out with her.
She knew that Qin Bailu trusted Bai Shuangshuang, her mother, deeply, and after knowing that someone was using her as a tool, she would definitely tell Bai Shuangshuang. At that time, Bai Shuangshuang would definitely know that she had heard something that she shouldn’t have, and would definitely not let her off easily.
It was also because she was so angry with Qin Bailu that day that she said everything to make herself happy. She regretted it after that.
At first, she was a little worried, but nothing happened. In addition, the Qiu Family’s members kept coming to make trouble for her every other day, so she slowly ignored this matter.
“Bai Shuangshuang wants to kill me probably because she’s afraid that I’ll tell Qin Bailu about this.”
“There are many wealthy young ladies in the capital who are coveting the position of the Yin Family’s Second Young Madam?”
Qiu Jian was stunned.
She couldn’t understand what Min Rufeng’s focus was. She had said so much, but Min Rufeng only heard that? Could it be that the other things she said weren’t more important than this? Also, wasn’t the fact that many young ladies in the capital wanted to marry into the Yin Family and Master Nine, well known by all?
After all, with the Yin Family’s background and Master Nine’s dazzling character…
Besides, what did the fact of the wealthy young ladies coveting the position of the Yin Family’s Second Young Madam have to do with him, the Second Young Master of the Min Family?
He was a man, so it was impossible for him to have any designs on Master Nine.
Was it because of his half-sister, Min Sisi?
No, Min Rufeng and Min Sisi’s relationship did not seem to be that good.
However, regardless of why Min Rufeng cared more about this, she couldn’t and didn’t dare to ask further now. She suppressed her emotions and nodded. “Yes, there are many. Qin Bailu is the most typical.”
As for Min Sisi, she didn’t seem to have any feelings for Master Nine.
Even though Min Sisi was Madam Yin’s candidate for her daughter-in-law.
Although Min Rufeng was still smiling, the emotions in his eyes were a little ambiguous. “The wealthy young ladies? Don’t they know that Yin Jiujin has a fiancée?”
Yin Jiujin…
This was not the first time she had heard Min Rufeng call Master Nine by his full name.
Not many people in the capital dared to call Master Nine by his full name.
“Everyone knows that Master Nine is engaged to the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City. However, although the Yan Family is the number one family in North City, it’s not influential enough in the capital. Furthermore, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, Yan Jinyu, grew up in the countryside and wasn’t liked by her parents… Perhaps, no one takes her seriously at all.”
Before she was seriously injured by Yan Jinyu, she was also one of those people who didn’t take Yan Jinyu seriously.
In the end…
No, even until now, she still felt that Yan Jinyu wasn’t worthy of Master Nine!
However, due to Master Nine’s protection of Yan Jinyu and the inexplicable fear in her heart towards Yan Jinyu, coupled with the fact that the Qiu Family was gone and Qin Bailu was such a hypocritical fake, she was already very disappointed.
She no longer had the mood to care about Master Nine and Yan Jinyu anymore.
“Ha.”
Min Rufeng’s ambiguous sneer frightened Qiu Jian. She thought that her words had angered him.
She looked up at him carefully.
“They don’t take her seriously? Yin Jiujin is the one who isn’t worthy of her!”
Qiu Jian looked at Min Rufeng in a daze.
If she didn’t know that Min Rufeng had a lover , she would have thought that Min Rufeng liked Yan Jinyu when she heard him say that!
After a long while, Qiu Jian asked hesitantly, “Second Young Master Min… knows Yan Jinyu?”
Min Rufeng did not respond and simply glanced at her.
With just one look, he successfully made Qiu Jian shut her mouth. “I’m sorry, Second Young Master Min. Take it that I didn’t ask.” She wasn’t stupid. How could she not see that Min Rufeng really knew Yan Jinyu?
She was puzzled and shocked.
What puzzled her was that Min Rufeng had also been missing for a few years. Did he and Yan Jinyu get to know each other during the years that she was missing?
What was shocking was that the Second Young Master of the Min Family, who everyone thought was useless, actually had such a different side to him. The way he could make people feel cold simply by smiling and chatting. And Yan Jinyu the country bumpkin, who everyone thought was useless in the countryside, was also not normal.
Was there a connection between the two of them?
Qiu Jian didn’t dare to think further.
She knew that if the two of them were really related, it would definitely be extraordinary if they could hide themselves from everyone at the same time. It might even be beyond her understanding.
“I-I’ll sell Second Young Master Min one more piece of information. Could Second Young Master Min give me a sum of money and send me overseas…” Cold sweat broke out, but she still mustered up the courage to finish saying,” Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. I’ll tell you my information first. If you think that my information is worth this price, then it won’t be too late to agree. If you think that it’s not worth it, just treat it as a joke and just listen to it casually. There’s no need to take it seriously. ”
“It’s information about Master Nine!”
Qiu Jian was taking a gamble.
Whether Min Rufeng continued to trap her in this basement or let her out, it was not what she wanted!
She didn’t want to be trapped here for the rest of her life, nor did she want to lose her life the moment she went out so she had to take a gamble for herself!
She could tell that Min Rufeng didn’t care about Master Nine, but Yan Jinyu!
He cared about Yan Jinyu, and Master Nine was Yan Jinyu’s fiancé. He would definitely be interested in Master Nine’s information!
Min Rufeng said calmly, “You’re a smart person.”
“If you had been so smart earlier and not provoked someone whom you shouldn’t have, you probably wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Qiu Jian was silent.
She was really stupid in the past. She treated Qin Bailu so well and even personally went to North City to look for Yan Jinyu so that Qin Bailu wouldn’t feel sad for carrying a torch for someone secretly…
However, in the end, her home was gone, and Qin Bailu’s hypocritical nature was exposed.
The person she hated the most was not Master Nine or Yan Jinyu, but Qin Bailu!
However, she had already seen through a lot of things since she arrived today and would no longer pick a losing battle.
She couldn’t beat Qin Bailu and could be in danger at any time.
All she could do now was try her best to survive and watch Qin Bailu court death step by step and end up in a worse state than her!
Of course, she didn’t hate Yan Jinyu the most, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t hate her.
Everything that she was suffering now was caused by Qin Bailu and thanks to Yan Jinyu!
No matter if it was Qin Bailu or Yan Jinyu, she didn’t want either of them to have a good life!
Min Rufeng glanced at her calmly. “Tell me about it.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t take your information for nothing. If your information is valuable enough, I’ll give you a sum of money and send you overseas.”
“The Lingering Garden. The person in Master Nine’s heart is staying in the Lingering Garden.”
After saying that, Qiu Jian hurriedly looked at Min Rufeng’s expression, but she couldn’t see anything from his face.
He simply leaned lazily against the back of the chair and tapped his fingers on the armrest.
“Is that so?” he said.
It was emotionless, but inexplicably frightening.
“Y-yes. Qin Bailu and I went to the Lingering Garden once and saw it with our own eyes.”
Min Rufeng looked up at her calmly and asked with a smile, “What did you see?”
