Chapter 1172

Ye Junqing watched the holographic screen, from Xia Yanyan meeting with Xue Changqing, to Xia Yanyan having dinner with Xue Changqing, and then being hinted by Xue Changqing to go to the hotel. He missed none of it. He wasn’t interested in watching banana peels; he just wanted to know what conditions Xue Changqing promised her, making her willing to make such a big sacrifice.

Xia Yanyan was proud, proud since childhood. She always thought of herself as the favored daughter of heaven. No man could escape from her grasp, and everyone should hold her in their palms, bowing down to her charms.

Therefore, for such an extremely proud girl to lower herself and go to the hotel with Xue Changqing, it is evident that whatever Xue Changqing promised her was definitely something she felt was worth her sacrifice.

As Ye Junqing expected, Xue Changqing did promise Xia Yanyan significant benefits, such as getting his beloved Xiaoyu as a bargaining chip and even intending to extract Xiaoyu’s bone marrow to restore Xia Yanyan’s health.

Xue Changqing was not someone who received traditional noble education from childhood. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe his rise as "sudden wealth." After being taken back to the Xue family, the Xue parents, feeling sorry for their long-lost son, would cater to his every need in all aspects, further fueling Xue Changqing’s "upstart" temperament.

The Xue family also had an adopted son, the wrongfully swapped child, Xue Shaoyang. Due to his righteousness, Xue Shaoyang suffered quite a bit under Xue Changqing. Knowing he was the swapped child, Xue Shaoyang felt unjustified, opting to constantly give in to Xue Changqing. Eventually, he was so pressured that he left the Xue family to make his own way.

Even after setting out on his own, Xue Changqing wouldn’t let him be, often going behind his back to trouble Xue Shaoyang, thwarting his hopes of independence. Fortunately, over the years, Xue Shaoyang made some close friends and is now serving as the CEO at a company owned by these friends.

Despite having some friends to back him up, Xue Shaoyang had a car accident after a dinner last month; his right leg was amputated after the crash, leaving him reliant on a wheelchair now.

This revealed Xue Changqing’s unforgiving nature, where he’d seek revenge for even the slightest wrong.

If Xue Changqing and Xia Yanyan were to collude, it could only be described as: A rogue’s alliance!

Through surveillance, Ye Junqing found out that Xue Changqing had agreed, during his beloved Xiaoyu’s birthday banquet, to kidnap Xiaoyu amidst the crowd, imprisoning him, and force Xiaoyu to donate bone marrow to Xia Yanyan.

Xia Yanyan told Xue Changqing that his beloved Xiaoyu’s combat power was off the charts and that he wouldn’t be easy to handle.

Xue Changqing said it was no matter; he’d tamper with the birthday banquet to make his beloved Xiaoyu lose his combat power...

Ye Junqing laughed coldly in his heart. Planning to mess with his beloved; did they ask for his opinion?

Since you want to play, then I’ll play with you.

...

Near the hospital, at a five-star hotel, Xia Yanyan walked out.

Wearing sunglasses and a mask, although no longer a national treasure, Xia Yanyan had been a celebrity since childhood. She didn’t want to be recognized and had never stayed with any man in a hotel overnight before.

Last night, she didn’t allow Xue Changqing to succeed.

She knew Xue Changqing really liked her. Citing her current sickly and weak condition, she only allowed Xue Changqing to hold her all night, but her lips still ended up swollen from Xue Changqing’s kisses...noveldrama
