Chapter 566 - Scheming
Chapter 566: Scheming
The plane took off on time, but Song Mian didn’t accompany her. Song Qian still accompanied her back to the country.
“Don’t worry, Young Master knows his limits. He has only been seriously injured once, but he can take care of himself,” Song Qian Comforted Yun Xiangxiang when she saw her weak expression.
Yun Xiangxiang shook her head. “I’m not imagining things. It’s just that he’s not around, so I’m a little depressed. I’ll be fine in a while.”
Hearing this, Song Qian didn’t say anything else.
Yun Xiangxiang knew that she couldn’t stay because she had already figured it out.
Since Ai Li and her friends broke into Lucifer’s house to save someone and fell into Lucifer’s hands, it was obvious that Lucifer’s target was Song Mian. Why didn’t Lucifer go to Song Mian directly?
The purpose was simple. He wanted her to stay and distract Song Mian.
Lucifer must have known that Ai Li had saved her in China. That was why he was sure that Yun Xiangxiang would not abandon Ai Li and would definitely ask Song Mian for help.
Lucifer must have buried a lot of thunder for Song Mian, but she believed in Song Mian. Lucifer was no match for Song Mian after all.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want Song Qian to worry about her, so she asked, “Where’s Rum?”
Where was her dog? If the dog was here, she could tease it and distract it.
“Carl said that Rum should be kept at the ranch for a few more days. He will arrange for someone to personally send it to the country next month.” Song Qian told Yun Xiangxiang what Song Mian had not yet said, “It’ll be just in time. Wait for Young Master to bring it back.”
“Okay.” Yun Xiangxiang could only pick up a book and study it.
Song Mian’s domineering handwriting was still on it. She sorted out her mood. It was time to read and rest.
It was the same night when she returned to the country. She washed up and lay on the bed. She held her phone and hesitated whether she should call Song Mian.
Would she disturb him?
In the end, Yun Xiangxiang decided to send him a message to let him know that she was safe.
As soon as she logged out of the interface, the video call rang. Yun Xiangxiang immediately picked it up. It was afternoon at Song Mian’s place. He seemed to be on a helicopter, but the had yet to take off.
“I’ve been waiting for your call,” Song Mian said first.
“I was worried that I would disturb you,” Yun Xiangxiang told the truth.
“No, you still call me every day at the time we agreed,” Song Mian said with a smile.
“Okay.” Yun xiangxiang nodded and asked, “Where are you going?”
“To catch a traitor. Once we catch this person, Ai Li will be able to save him,” Song Mian briefly told Yun Xiangxiang the whole story.
It turned out that the illegitimate son of the head of a big family had been secretly kidnapped by Lucifer’s father. They had investigated for a long time before they found out, but they had no evidence and no way to ask for him.
The head of the family had never had a child of his own. He looked coldly at the people below, showing their hypocritical and shameless faces. He asked them to kill each other, and in the end, all their efforts were for naught.
He had always protected his illegitimate son very well, but Lucifer’s father had reached an agreement with one of the contenders, so naturally, he wanted him to take the position. From the attitude of the head of the family, he guessed some possibilities, so he followed the clues and found the illegitimate son.
There was a traitor in this family who was bribed by the Gus family, the son of the family head, and several secrets of hiring people to rescue the illegitimate child were all leaked by this traitor. He even had evidence over the entire ordeal.
As long as they caught this person, they could go to his house and ask for him.
“Now that I hear it…” Yun Xiangxiang thought for a while and then said, “Why do I feel that Lucifer is not digging a hole for you, but for his father?”
“Maybe it’s to kill two birds with one stone.” Song Mian’s lips curled up slightly, but a cold light flashed across his eyes.
If he asked him to kill his father with an outsider, a big family would not disappear so easily. It would be very complicated.
When the time came, Lucifer would raise his arms and call for revenge for his father and avenge his family. Regardless of whether his bloodline was pure enough, his father and his brothers were all dead. He was also ruthless, so it would be too easy for him to be the master of the family.
“I understand why he told me!” Yun Xiangxiang immediately reacted. “He didn’t want to leave any traces for himself. If he looked for you, those who suspect that he is ambitious and disobedient would dig their hearts out to find evidence.”
No matter how secretive he was, what he did was done. If he revealed it to Song Mian, he would be easily caught.
Since Lucifer’s father didn’t trust him, there must be some secret weapons or organizations in his family that he had not come into contact with. That was what he was worried about. Besides, there might be his father’s spies around him.
She thought that Lucifer wanted her to stay and disturb Song Mian. Lucifer was very cunning and unpredictable.
“Rest early. I’m about to take off,” Song Mian said in a low voice.
Yun Xiangxiang also heard some voices. She nodded and said softly, “Be careful. I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up the phone, Yun Xiangxiang thought that it was only nine o’clock. She was about to go to bed when she saw a message in the four seasons group.
[Wei Shanshan, can you at least be sensible? @Wei Shanshan.]
It was from Fang Nanyuan.
[Yi Yan: ???]
[Yun Xiangxiang: What happened to you two?]
[Fang Nanyuan: She deleted me in her friend list and blocked my phone.]
[Yi Yan: Did something happen?]
Fang Nanyuan didn’t say anything, and Wei Shanshan didn’t show up, either. Yun Xiangxiang could only call Wei Shanshan.
Wei Shanshan picked up her call, and Yun Xiangxiang quickly asked, “What’s wrong with the two of you?”
“He’s so nosy!”Wei Shanshan’s tone was very unpleasant. Since she was talking to Yun Xiangxiang, she tried her best to suppress herself.
“Shifan and I were caught on camera, and he sent it to my agent in the company to ask for hush money. He also knew about my relationship. At that time, we were in a meeting because the company had a drama, and they wanted us to be the male and female leads.
“He suddenly lost his temper and walked away. At night, he called me again and told me that Shifan is a rigid, chauvinistic man. If I were to be with him, there would be no result.”
Wei Shanshan and Ling Shifan were in the midst of a passionate love affair. Ling Shifan’s personality was more traditional. She had already discovered that he didn’t usually fight with her, so he was indeed a little less interesting. However, Ling Shifan was a reliable and upright person. He loved acting as much as she did, so she felt that their personalities could be adjusted.
She explained to Fang Nanyuan nicely that she could be more tolerant. In the end, Fang Nanyuan lost his temper and asked if she wanted to humiliate herself and be so lowly for the sake of the so-called love!
How could Wei Shanshan listen to this? She immediately hung up the phone. For the next few days, Fang Nanyuan called to say that she and Ling Shifan wouldn’t end well and even sent wechat messages. Wei Shanshan was so angry that she couldn’t stand it anymore and blacklisted Fang Nanyuan.
Yun Xiangxiang’s heart skipped a beat after hearing this. How did she not realize that Fang Nanyuan really liked Wei Shanshan!
