by Need_More_SleepVolume 2 + Chapter 34: Bai Yuxuan’s Choice
Buzz~ At that moment, Bai Yuxuan’s phone by her hand suddenly vibrated.
“Who could it be at this hour?” Saying this, Bai Yuxuan opened the text message. A photo of Ouyang Qianxue unconscious and tied up in a secret room immediately came into view.
When Bai Yuxuan saw that the person in the photo was Ouyang Qianxue, she instantly stood up in agitation, accidentally knocking over the teacup beside her.
“Young Master, what happened?” Hearing the sound of the shattered cup, Xiao Liu immediately rushed into the room.
Since the candidate heir assessment was tomorrow, Xiao Liu had stayed in Bai Yuxuan’s room tonight to help her organize the materials needed for the evaluation.
“Look,” Bai Yuxuan said, handing the phone to Xiao Liu.
“What!” Upon seeing the message content, Xiao Liu was also greatly shocked.
“I never expected they would target Ouyang Qianxue. And it seems they even know I’ve had contact with Ouyang Qianxue. It appears the other party knows me quite well.”
“What should we do? Are you going to save her?” Xiao Liu asked.
“No!” Bai Yuxuan said coldly.
“Is that your decision?” Xiao Liu pressed.
“She already made it clear she wants to draw a line between us, and told me not to get close. Why should I meddle in her affairs now?” Bai Yuxuan said with her back to Xiao Liu.
“But the other party is clearly targeting you. You could say Ouyang Qianxue is completely caught up in this because of you this time.”
“So you’re asking me to give up my heir position to save someone who wants to cut ties with me?”
“No. I just hope, Young Master, that you won’t regret your own decision. Whatever decision you make, I will stand by your side.” With that, Xiao Liu quietly left the room.
“Ah…” Bai Yuxuan sighed, looking out the window.
Thus, the next morning arrived.
“Mmm… What happened to me?” When Ouyang Qianxue groggily opened his eyes, he found himself in a small, narrow room. However, the room was comfortably furnished, equipped with everything from air conditioning to a humidifier.
“Huh?” He tried to stand up but discovered he was tightly bound from his legs to his hands, completely tied to a chair.
Ouyang Qianxue struggled fiercely, trying with all his might to break free from the ropes. However, at that moment, a voice came from behind him.
“Don’t waste your energy. These specially-made ropes can handle loads of several tons. They were prepared just for you, especially since you’re someone who can take down several grown men with your bare hands.”
“Lin Tianyu?” Ouyang Qianxue said in surprise upon seeing the other’s face.
“That’s right, it’s me.”
“Where are we? And what exactly do you want?”
“We’re in a break room at a factory. I invited you here just to chat and have some tea.” Saying this, Lin Tianyu placed a plate of pastries and milk tea in front of Ouyang Qianxue.
“Oh, I almost forgot your hands are still tied. How about it, want me to feed you?”
“No way! Chat and have tea? This is clearly illegal confinement! Do you know what you’re doing is against the law?”
“So what?”
“No matter how powerful your Lin family is, it’s not above the law. I advise you to be smart and let me go now.”
“Hahaha.” Lin Tianyu laughed heartily.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Because I’m still one week away from turning 16.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that?”
“It seems you’re not familiar with the determination of the age of criminal responsibility in criminal law. For individuals who have reached the age of 14 but are under 16, they are only held criminally responsible for eight severe crimes like intentional homicide and robbery. Illegal confinement is not among those eight offenses. I’m quite pleased with my own luck.”
With that, Lin Tianyu burst into laughter again.
“You…!” Ouyang Qianxue glared angrily at Lin Tianyu.
“Now, now, don’t be angry. My target isn’t you. I just hope you’ll cooperate with me a little. Oh, it’s about that time now. Time to tell Bai Yuxuan our location.”
Saying this, Lin Tianyu sent his location to Bai Yuxuan.
After doing all this, Lin Tianyu explained his plan to Ouyang Qianxue.
“Hmph, let me tell you, I have absolutely no relationship with Bai Yuxuan. Everything you’re doing is a waste of effort!” Ouyang Qianxue said after hearing Lin Tianyu’s plan.
“You’re quite the joker. Who would know Bai Yuxuan better than me? I once heard that a real estate developer, in order to gain the Bai family’s support, specifically tried to use his daughter to seduce Bai Yuxuan. So, on the day of the meeting, the developer’s daughter flirted and fawned over Bai Yuxuan in every way. Guess what happened?”
“Bai Yuxuan directly took out a document, placed it in front of the developer’s daughter, and said, ‘If you want to prove your value to me, handle this for me. Otherwise, don’t speak to me and waste my time.’ The developer’s daughter was dumbfounded on the spot.”
“Someone like Young Master Bai actually spent an entire day accompanying you on a date, even preparing fireworks in an amusement park to celebrate your birthday. If you weren’t someone special to him, why would he go to such lengths for you?”
Lin Tianyu’s rebuttal left Ouyang Qianxue speechless. He hadn’t expected that Bai Yuxuan’s spontaneous actions that day would lead Lin Tianyu to misunderstand their relationship to such an extent. So, Ouyang Qianxue decided to go along with the misunderstanding and asked Lin Tianyu:
“Since you know I have the Bai family backing me, you still dared to lay hands on me. Aren’t you afraid of the Bai family’s retaliation?”
“That doesn’t matter. Since childhood, Bai Yuxuan has always easily accomplished things I had to struggle immensely to achieve. Just when I finally found some balance in other aspects, he effortlessly obtained you, something I could never attain no matter how hard I tried. Why is it always him who gets the good things?” Lin Tianyu asked Ouyang Qianxue agitatedly.
“Sorry, I got a bit carried away just now.” Lin Tianyu calmed his emotions and continued.
“But this time is different. No matter what choice he makes, the outcome will please me.”
“Then let me tell you the truth. I’ve already drawn a clear line with Bai Yuxuan. We have no relationship now. So he won’t come to save me.”
“Is that so? Lying isn’t good, you know. Look, he’s already here.” With that, Lin Tianyu turned the laptop in front of him towards Ouyang Qianxue. On the screen, a black car crashed through the factory gate, and Bai Yuxuan, wearing a black jacket, stepped out of the car.
“Why…?” Ouyang Qianxue trembled as he looked at the screen. He had made himself so clear to Bai Yuxuan that day.
“Hahaha, it seems in his heart, you are even more important than the heir position. You truly are special, Ouyang Qianxue. I never expected that cold-blooded Young Master Bai would give up his heir position for you. Well then, let’s begin an entertaining game.”
“Move out!” Lin Tianyu shouted into a walkie-talkie. Immediately, several burly men wielding steel pipes and wooden clubs emerged in the factory, surrounding Bai Yuxuan.
“Let’s see together just how far Bai Yuxuan is willing to go for you.”
