760 Making Plans

CHAPTER 760 – Making Plans

As promised, the second Ren finished speaking with them, he excused himself to make the call.

All the while, Li Jing kept a close watch on him as he left.

This issue stemmed from her grandaunts’ jealousy and their attempt to steal from her immediate family.

If anything could be done to resolve this, she was going to jump on the first train and do that.

“So tell me, Chen’an, right?” Fong Wei Ling asked while trying to make small talk as they awaited Ren’s news.

“What got you so interested and in love with Ren?”

“What?”

.....

“Yes. Because sometimes it is hard to stand him. At least I do try and that is progress but for Ye Cheng here, I cannot say.”

“Why are you calling me into this?” Ye Cheng queried.

It was one thing to ask Chen’an such a private question and it was another to have him dragged into it.

“Because it is the truth. You two would be on each other’s neck if we were not here to stop you.”

“I am not hotheaded generally,” Ye Cheng dissed. “Only when I need to be tough. Like during this period, to protect those I love.”

Saying that he winked at Li Jing, mirroring the smile that she gave.

“Yes, I am back,” Ren announced, walking back to his seat and interrupting the conversation.

“Yes, we can see that,” Ye Cheng chimed in. He tried to hold in his laugh so as not to confuse anyone.

“Perhaps you will rather echo the discussion you had with Kim Fan than this,” Ye Cheng suggested.

Immediately, the others fixed their gaze on Ren expectantly.

“Hm, he said for now things are going okay. The police have not yet visited your witchy aunt but you and I know it is only a matter of time before they do that.”

“Sure. She cannot escape the full force of the law and neither can I allow that. No matter how hard it looks or gets, they are not allowed to have the last laugh,” Li Jing affirmed.

Right after Lin Qi made her call, she tried to get a call across to Kim Fan.

But unfortunately, she had no way of getting through to him since his phone was not connecting.

When she tried to reach out to Lin Xuilan, although it worked, Lin Qi needed someone who was going to think outside the box like her while keeping their evil plans in check.

In the end, all she did was resign herself to fate when Kim Fan’s call refused to connect after many trials.

At first, she placed a call to her partner in crime, Lin Xuilan, to inform her of the recent developments.

Just as she had foreseen Lin Xuilan’s response was one to die for. Sadly, right now wasn’t the time she had to laugh at or scold anyone.

“Are you kidding me?” Lin Xuilan questioned quickly.

“Do you think I would come to you to joke with something as serious as this?”

“Forgive me,” Lin Xuilan said, drawing her mental and physical state to composure.

“It is just overwhelming. What should we do now?”

“I do not know. I need you to also try and think of a way out of this mess. I do not need to remind you of the kind of husband that you have.”

“I know.”

“Good.”

“So what are you going to do with those men?” Let the police catch them or help them?”

“We cannot allow the police to catch them first. Should that be the case then things would be pretty bad for us. We need to help them,” Lin Qi explained.

“I understand. Fine, I shall forward the money to your account to assist you in getting them out of that city.”

For the first time in a long while, when Lin Qi thought of how useful Lin Xuilan planned on becoming that she was tempted to call the lady and give her a pat on the back but now things needed to be serious.

Having sorted things out in her mind, she tried Kim Fan’s phone number once more and dialed the phone number in she used to reach him.

Three attempts later and Lin Qi was feeling more frustrated than she had begun.

“Fine then. No one can blame me. This was supposed to be done by us all for our peace and to reap the spoil from having dealt with Li Jing ”

She breathed out sharply.

“Since I am all alone, my safety matters most. I cannot be ruined by these lackeys and at the same time have my brothers go berserk on me.

Ring! Ring!

No sooner had the call begun than the other person at the end of the call picked it up and greeted me.

“Good day. I thought you were determined to play it the hard way,” came the young man’s tired voice.

“I am not. I needed to check with my partner first but I couldn’t reach him.”

“Sure. So what is your decision?”

“I will help you as you have stated,” Lin Qi stated firmly and shifted her hair away from her face.

“Good. I would send you my location and bank details.”

“Wait. Do not be too fast about things,” she interjected. “We shall have a new agreement before things are processed and sent to you.”

“Sure, state your business. I am all ears.”

“After this, I am cutting off the deal.”

“Hmm.”

“Yes. You failed so much and you are having me implicated. I will not be dragged down with you all. So if I give you all that you require, the deal is off and we would both go our separate ways.”

He did not give her words a proper thought and agreed. At this point, the guys left were ready to do anything just to escape being caught by the police and that was it.

“Fine. I accept your terms.”

“Okay. Send me all the details and I shall make due arrangements.”

“Thank you. Give me a minute.”

Quickly he cut the call, as his lips curved upwards into a daunting smile.

“You really think you can wash your hands clean like this? How can I trust you not to eat me out when I send you my details?”

He chuckled lightly and shook his head.

“When the rich think they are smart. You cannot use me and discard me, ma’am.”
