Chapter 344:1 Have a Gift For You
Upon reaching the third basement floor, Qiao Yin used her memory from yesterday to navigate through the labyrinth and found the black intermediaries.
Apart from the young man who had received her yesterday, there were several menacing, burly men.
It seemed they were all gatekeepers.
The men were taken aback when they saw her, “How did you get in?”
“Shu, did you give her the elevator card when you brought her here yesterday?”
“No, I still have the elevator card with me!”
“Did our elevator break down? Can outsiders now just waltz in?”
“I don’t know, quick—ask the elevator operator!”
“Did our labyrinth also break down? Didn’t the Feng Shui master who designed this labyrinth say that it’s impenetrable?”
“Well, no, this woman has something special. She has an outstanding memory.”
Qiao Yin looked at the young man. So his name was Shu.
“I’m here to see Qiao Jiasen. Where is he?”
Shu was impatient, “Stop wasting time and get out. You’re not supposed to be here! Jiasen won’t go with you; he’s being groomed as a successor, with a bright future ahead. Why ruin his prospects?”
“Tell him I am here. He will come and see me.”
“What do you think this place is? You think you can come and go as you please and see whomever you want? Do you realise it was an exception that you could come in and take Jiasen away yesterday?”
“I don’t know what sort of place this is. All I know is that my sixteen-year-old brother was hurt yesterday! You’re brainwashing him, making him take beatings. Don’t you think that’s way too over the top and shameful!”
“Stop speaking nonsense here. How did we deceive him? Many people hope they could be the successor; Jiasen is incredibly fortunate, and you should know how envy has been stirred in others. You’re ungrateful, turning around and condemning us!”
“I don’t need him to have a meteoric rise, I just want him to live a peaceful ordinary life!”
Just as Shu wanted to retort, a stainless steel automatic door nearby suddenly opened.
A man in a white coat walked out.
Upon seeing him, Shu and several burly men immediately bowed in respect, “Mr. Bai.”
Mr. Bai nodded and said to Qiao Yin: “Come with me.”
Qiao Yin didn’t move, “Will you take me to my brother?”
“No, I’ll take you to meet our leader.”
Qiao Yin’s eyes shuttered, she nodded shortly, “Okay, I will meet.”
Indeed, she should meet.
Otherwise, even if she could take Jiasen away today, he will still come back in the future.
When solving a problem, it’s best to confront it from its root—a real solution is one that provides permanent relief.
“Our leader is a private person; you will need to be blindfolded, Miss Qiao.”
Mr. Bai was not negotiating with her; he was just informing her.
He gestured to his underling, who swiftly stepped forward and blindfolded Qiao Yin with a piece of black cloth.
Her vision plunged into darkness; Qiao Yin kept a calm face, but inwardly she was apprehensive and fearful.
Anyone would be scared if they were blindfolded in such an environment.
She was betting they hadn’t utterly lost their humanity and wouldn’t just kill her to sell her organs before finding a random place to hide her body.
She was betting this organization, which Jiasen was willing to join, wouldn’t kill arbitrarily.
Deep down, she was still unwilling to believe that Jiasen was brainwashed. This organization must have something real that attracted him to stay, even when he got beaten.
Luckily for her, she made the right bet.
She was brought to a car and after a short ride, she was led by Mr. Bai into an air-conditioned room.
“Boss, the person is here. This is Qiao Yin, Jiasen’s sister.”
A melodious male voice spoke up, “Miss Qiao, I have a gift for you today.”
