Si Yehan and Yin Yuerong met each other’s eyes. Feeling the comforting hand in his grasp, Si Yehan finally relented. “Alright.”
This time, it was Yin Yuerong’s turn to be surprised. She subconsciously glanced at Ye Wanwan next to him. She didn’t expect her son to take a step back first with his personality.
…
Late at night, in Si Yehan’s residence:
Tangtang was still in the hands of Yin Yuerong. Both Ye Wanwan and Si Yehan’s expressions didn’t look too good.
Lin Que’s head ached as he asked, “How should we deal with that guy, Yin Heng? How about we imprison him and interrogate him with torture? Perhaps Auntie Rong’s heart would hurt then? After all, he’s her only heir, so she must care about him to some degree, right?”
Si Yehan mulled over it for a moment before replying, “Use the standard torture every day but no need to watch over him too closely. Allow him to contact the outside.”
Lin Que was first startled before understanding dawned on him. “Oh, oh, I get it. We’re making him ask Auntie Rong for help, right! You’re so smart, Ninth Brother! Alright, I understand!”
Ye Wanwan glanced at Si Yehan. “Ah-Jiu, are you certain Yin Yuerong cares about Yin Heng’s survival? This isn’t how you show concern for someone… I seriously can’t see how Yin Heng is useful as a hostage… Anyway, Yin Heng can only be considered as an abandoned chesspiece…”
Si Yehan said, “She does care about Yin Heng. At least with Yin Heng here, Tangtang will be safe.”
When Ye Wanwan heard Si Yehan say that Yin Yuerong cared about Yin Heng, her heart panged inexplicably.
“If she doesn’t release Tangtang within three days, I will use my own method to resolve this,” Si Yehan said.
His own method…
Ye Wanwan frowned deeply. She truly didn’t wish for matters to exacerbate to that extent.
…
At the Yin residence:
Yin Heng’s confidant, Ah-Zhong, was quivering as he knelt on the floor.
“Madam, this subordinate was wrong! This subordinate is really sorry!” Ah-Zhong kept kowtowing, scared witless.
Yin Yuerong smiled sardonically. “Wrong? I would like to hear what you did wrong?”
Ah-Zhong quickly replied, “This subordinate shouldn’t have allowed Young Master Yin Heng to act rashly, shouldn’t have allowed him to abduct Little Young Master!”
Yin Yuerong smashed the teacup in her hand. “What you did wrong wasn’t abducting that child! What you did wrong was your idiocy and arrogance!”
She was well aware of Yin Heng’s private dealings with Qin Zong, but she intentionally didn’t warn Yin Heng because she wanted to test him.
Who would have expected Yin Heng to be idiotic to this extent and make himself someone else’s sword step by step?
The housekeeper sighed and muttered to herself, “Now that things have turned out like this and we’ve even abducted that child, Eldest Young Master absolutely won’t return to the Yin Estate…”
She originally thought the mother and son duo’s relationship could improve after Eldest Young Master returned to Tianshui City, but who would’ve expected it to worsen progressively?
“What? Do you think he’s my only option? Even without him, even without Yin Heng, I can have a second Yin Heng!” Yin Yuerong furiously spat out.
She originally thought he would return as long as he left that woman, but now, she knew that this son of hers absolutely wouldn’t return.
The housekeeper wanted to say something but didn’t dare to refute her madam.
How could it be the same? Madam clearly knew that regardless of who it was, they couldn’t be the same as Eldest Young Master in the end.
“Where’s the child?” Yin Yuerong asked.
Ah-Zhong cautiously answered, “Young Master Yin Heng ordered people to guard him.”
“Send him to Wanmei Villa first,” Yin Yuerong commanded.
