Chapter 287: Voluntary
Translator: Lonelytree
Gu Nian fixed his gaze on me. “What if Mrs. Mai didn’t force her and Mai Qi volunteered?”
“Impossible!” I blurted out.
Then, my gaze met Gu Nian’s.
I paused.
I stood up immediately, grabbed my backpack, and rushed out.
Gu Nian pulled me back, “Nanxing! Calm down!”
I flung his hand away, my eyes were cold. “Gu Nian, if I find out you’re involved in this, I will never forgive you!”
Gu Nian’s hands hung limply by his side. I called Su Qian to get her to pick me up.
…
Mai Qi was gone. I asked Sister Li why she didn’t tell me that Mai Qi had left.
Sister Li was confused and she uttered timidly, “Miss Mai Qi said she was only going back to her mother’s. She said she would call you to inform you herself. She didn’t want us to disturb you.”
I was so angry. Mai Qi, you’re done for!
I immediately called my group of four. I had them search the town to find Mai Qi.
Su Qian asked, “Should we call Qu Hao?”
I said coldly, “No need. If he wanted to help, this would not have happened again! He could have warned Mrs. Mai back last time but he didn’t. This proves that Mai Qi is just a tool in their family’s power struggle.”
Su Qian and Su Shen’s expressions changed and they took action.
Mrs. Mai’s whereabouts weren’t kept a secret. On the contrary, she was quite ostentatious, so it wasn’t difficult to find her.
The problem was, so what? After all, Mai Qi left voluntarily.
Gu Nian was right. Mai Qi did this voluntarily. Mai Qi knew her mother better than anyone else. She also knew how her father and brother treated her mother. She knew the Brothers were not sincere to her mother. If there was a person in this world who really loved Mrs. Mai, it was Mai Qi.

There was a big difference between Mai Qi and Mrs. Mai. No matter how big of a problem Mrs. Mai caused, someone would clean up the mess for her. At worst, Mrs. Mai would be caught back into her cage. No one could really harm Mrs. Mai because they had to respect her identity.
However, Mai Qi was different because the person who wanted to harm her was her own mother. Mai Qi’s mother wished to ruin Mai Qi’s life. Who was going to be responsible for the harm befalling Mai Qi? Mai Qi’s brother and father? Impossible!
I paced around nervously.
Su Qian said, “Nan Xing, it doesn’t sound right for us to force our way in to snatch her.”
Su Shen cracked her knuckles. “Who cares? We’ll just grab her and run. At most, we’ll fight.”
Su Qian shook her head. “What era do you think we’re in? Do you think the cops are just for show? We can’t do this so openly!”
I whipped my head to look at Su Qian. She was shocked by my gaze.
“Wh-what? Did I say something wrong?” Su Qian asked carefully.
“No, you’re right. We can’t do this openly!” I took a deep breath. “Su Shen, go back to Sky City’s headquarters to come up with a plan. I need to kidnap Mai Qi!”
Su Shen was startled before she nodded. “Alright, leave this to me!”
Su Qian was stunned. “Nanxing, are you serious?”
I nodded. “Just consider this training for Sky City.”
Su Qian hummed. “Well, in that case, we might as go all out.”
I was confused.
Su Qian smiled. “Since we’re going to solve this the hard way, then there is no need to hold back. Mrs. Mai will only understand she’s not fit for the underworld after she is shown how dangerous it really is.. Furthermore, Shi Family has gone too far this time. They only have one son, how many wives does he need anyway?”
