"My dear, calm down. I am already safe." Yu Qi said softly as she gently patted Feng Yue's back in an attempt to calm her down.
Feng Yue slowly released Yu Qi from her tight embrace, but tears were still flowing down her cheeks without stopping.
"My dear Yue, don't cry. You will not look beautiful if you keep crying, hmm..." Yu Qi lifted Feng Yue's face by her chin while her other hand gently wiped away the tears from Feng Yue's eyes.
Long Hui, who was watching this scene from the side, felt something strange. It somehow looked like a man comforting his girlfriend. In this case, Yu Qi appeared like the man, while Feng Yue seemed like her girlfriend.
"Come in. It is cold outside." Old Man Feng said, inviting them inside the house.
They all moved into the living room and took their seats. Old Man Feng instructed the maid to prepare some cool drinks for them. Meanwhile, Feng Yue still refused to let go of Yu Qi's hand, as if afraid she might disappear at any moment.
"Are you okay, Yu Qi? You did not get hurt, right?" Old Man Feng asked with deep concern evident in his voice.
Yu Qi smiled reassuringly. "Grandpa Feng, I'm fine. Please don't worry about me."
"Fortunately, you are all right. If not, your grandfather might go crazy from worry." Old Man Feng said as he let out a long breath of relief.
"Wait. Did you already tell him?" Yu Qi asked suddenly, a hint of panic flashing across her face.
"No, I have not told him yet."
"Please don't tell him about this. Actually, don't tell anyone else either. Let the truth reveal itself naturally." Yu Qi requested seriously.
"Yes, it is wise to keep it a secret. It involves your reputation, after all." Old Man Feng nodded his head several times in agreement.
"Did you find out what their motive was?" Long Hui finally spoke, his tone calm but sharp.
He had already guessed that she knew something after observing the behaviour of the captured men.
"Well, at first, I thought it was about money. After all, people know that I have a lot of money because of the ginseng. But after a little... interrogation, I managed to get the real motive." Yu Qi said in a cold tone.
When she noticed the shocked expressions on Feng Yue and Old Man Feng, she quickly corrected herself.
"Cough... cough... I mean negotiating with them." Yu Qi said.
"So, what was their motive?" Feng Yue asked impatiently, eager to know the truth.
"The truth is, they wanted to sell me into prostitution after taking all my money." Yu Qi said with a smile on her face.
However, it was an extremely cold and chilling smile.
"What!!! How dare they?" Old Man Feng stood up angrily, his face flushed with rage.
"But that is not the most shocking part. It is something gangsters would naturally do. The truly shocking part is the one who encouraged them to do it." Yu Qi said.
At that moment, her expression was filled with pure hatred.
"Who?" Feng Yue asked immediately.
"The Wang Family." Yu Qi stated.
"What!?! Again?! How dare they scheme against you again?" Feng Yue was furious.
Time and time again, they had tried to harm Yu Qi without any remorse.
"Who?" Long Hui asked.
He did not know anything about this matter. However, after hearing Feng Yue mention people scheming against Yu Qi, he had already blacklisted that family in his heart.
"They are the ones who adopted Yu Qi. Abusing her was the norm in that family. Luckily, Yu Qi has already cut ties with them. When they found out that Yu Qi had a lot of money, they tried to get some for themselves. Now, they even want to sell her into prostitution. That family is truly bold and shameless. Yu Qi, let's go report them to the police." Feng Yue said angrily, almost trembling with rage.
"No need. Just wait and see. They will not remain safe for long. Those men who kidnapped Madam Sheng have already confessed everything to me, so they might confess the same to the police. We just need to let things unfold naturally." Yu Qi said calmly.
"Alright. It is getting late. You girls have school tomorrow, so take a good rest. Hui, just stay the night here. I will ask the maid to prepare the guest room for you." Old Man Feng instructed.
"Yeah! I can spend the night with Yu Qi." Feng Yue said, her mood instantly shifting from anger to excitement.
Yu Qi chuckled softly. "It's my pleasure, dear Yue."
"Come, Yu Qi. Let's go to my room. We will sleep together tonight." Feng Yue said as she pulled Yu Qi along, even cuddling her while walking toward her room.
Once again, Long Hui felt that Yu Qi was flirting with Feng Yue. He could not help but wonder. Should he actually feel happy about this, or not?
