Chapter 909: Locked Up
....Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With a single gesture, the bodyguards nearby immediately surrounded Guan Bo and Zhao Yuan, who were about to leave.
Guan Bo turned his head in shock and looked at Li Jin in disbelief. “Li Jin, do you know what you are doing?”
Zhao Yuan, standing beside them, also thought that Li Jin seemed to have gone mad.
Li Jin dared to bully her, a fact she could comprehend considering the disparity in their family backgrounds and Li Jin’s current social standing.
However, Guan Bo was a member of the Guan family in Beijing. The fact that Li Jin dared to act this way surprised Zhao Yuan greatly.
“Rather than letting you go out and ruin my plans, it’s better to keep you locked up. Let me think about how to deal with both of you later,” Li Jin said fearlessly.
It wasn’t her audacity that led to this situation. Rather, it was the fallout from Li Zhe’s incident, which had already caused the Li family to offend the Guan family. If she did something to offend Guan Bo, the Guan family might take action against her when she a.s.sumed control of the Li family. What if she ended up with nothing?
So, until she figured out how to handle Guan Bo, keeping him detained was the safest option.
Li Jin nonchalantly continued, “Take these two away.”
The bodyguards approached, Guan Bo protected Zhao Yuan, and a scuffle ensued. However, they quickly succ.u.mbed, and both were knocked unconscious by the bodyguards.
Looking at the ruthless Li Jin, Liu Jing and the others stood on the side, their eyes filled with fear. They even trembled when Li Jin’s gaze swept over them.
Li Jin smiled, “You don’t need to be afraid. As far as today’s events are concerned, pretend nothing happened.”
Liu Jing and the others nodded repeatedly. After Li Jin warned a few store employees and took away the surveillance records, she left with Zhao Yuan and Guan Bo, leaving behind a group of terrified people.
A girl next to Liu Jing cautiously asked, “Are we really not saying anything? What if Li Jin kills those two? Then we’ll be accomplices.”
Liu Jings eyes sharpened as she glared at the girl, saying, “What nonsense are you talking about? Have we seen Li Jin today?”
The others immediately understood Liu Jing’s message and nodded, indicating they would stay silent.
Zhao Yuan woke up in a dimly lit room, and her neck still ached from the previous blow.
In a daze, Zhao Yuan remembered Guan Bo. She immediately called out anxiously, “Guan Bo?”
Turning her head, she saw Guan Bo slowly waking up. Desperate to approach him, she found her hands and feet bound, unable to move, and could only express her concern by asking, “Guan Bo, are you okay?”
Guan Bo shook his head and, after seeing Zhao Yuan clearly, crawled toward her. “Yuan, how are you?”
Shaking her head, Zhao Yuan said, “I’m fine, just the hand hurts a bit.”
Cursing inwardly, Guan Bo sat against the wall and rea.s.sured, “It’s okay. When our family realizes we’re missing, they will come to rescue us.” Zhao Yuan nodded.
Guan Bo tried to untie the ropes behind him. However, he soon frowned. Despite undergoing anti-kidnapping training, he couldn’t seem to untie the ropes.
It seemed trouble had found them in the form of the crazed Li Jin.
Meanwhile, Li Jin, who was completely oblivious to the illegality of kidnapping, chose a cheongsam for her visit to the Li family’s old mansion with Lin Mi the next day.
Early the next morning, Li Jin was taken away by Lin Mi to a seemingly ancient mansion with an atmosphere of desolation.
“Lin Mi, tell me the truth. Is there a conspiracy here?” Li Jin asked with a sense of unease.
Lin Mi smiled faintly at Li Jin, the usual serene expression on her face. “You’re overthinking it. I just want you to take the position of the head of the Li family, then abolish the inhumane rules.”
Li Jin looked around at the twenty strong bodyguards surrounding her, gathered her courage, and warned, “You better not be lying to me, or I’ll make sure you suffer.”
Lin Mi smiled without saying a word, then led Li Jin and the twenty burly men into the Li family’s old mansion.
As they stepped through the mansion’s gate, a chilling atmosphere enveloped them. Li Jin and the bodyguards s.h.i.+vered involuntarily.
It was Li Jin’s first visit to the Li family’s old mansion. She was expecting it to be opulent or quaint, but it turned out to be unexpectedly eerie..
