Chapter 173 The He Family's Real and Fake Gold: Only One Can Live
He Yan was taken outside by Zhang Quan.
She tried to get a feel for her surroundings, but found herself surrounded by dark woods and mountains in the distance.
"Zhang Quan, did you send the video you recorded for me to the Bo family?"
"Miss He Yan, are you in a hurry?"
Zhang Quan scrutinized He Yan from head to toe, and he felt that this woman was very problematic.
When I saw her at the He family's pharmaceutical factory before, she always appeared capable, cold, and aloof.
Only now do I realize that she was just wearing a facade.
I'm still afraid when I encounter danger.
"Of course I'm anxious, aren't you?"
He Yan deliberately acted anxious to lower Zhang Quan's guard.
She can also observe the truth he reveals unintentionally.
“I am the young mistress of the Bo family. They value their reputation the most and cannot let me be arrested without doing anything. That would not benefit them. With my status, I can definitely get more money in return.”
"You can leave here with the money, but if you hurt me, the Bo family won't let you off the hook. You don't want to create such a formidable enemy for yourself, do you?"
He Yan tried to persuade Zhang Quan, firstly to test whether he would agree.
On the other hand, you can also learn more information from him.
"Releasing me is better for you than killing me, you know that."
She knew Zhang Quan was very cautious, so she wanted to 'reveal her secrets'.
Only by letting him know his true thoughts will he not doubt her, lower his guard, and reveal his weaknesses, thus giving her a way to find a breakthrough.
"Miss He Yan, you really can't judge a book by its cover!"
Zhang Quan narrowed his eyes, a hunter's glint appearing in his triangular eyes.
He found He Yan to be a very strange person.
Sometimes she seems very capable and can solve a lot of problems.
But sometimes, however, their vulnerable inner selves are exposed.
Little did he know that what he saw was exactly what He Yan wanted him to see.
A carefully crafted 'persona'.
"I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. Don't take me for a fool. What's your purpose?"
He felt that his boss's wariness of He Yan was not without reason.
However, she only has a little bit of cleverness.
Only.
"Didn't I just say that I hope you can contact the Bo family and exchange the ransom separately?"
He Yan observed Zhang Quan discreetly.
I noticed that a hint of hesitation would occasionally flash in his eyes.
"You can't tell, can you? I really hate He Yiyi, so I don't want her to be rescued."
She deliberately put on a vicious expression.
To prove whether He Yiyi and Zhang Quan are involved, they must be placed on opposite sides.
Only by understanding the other party's attitude can you get the result she wants.
“I am the true heiress of the He family. He Yiyi stole my family and we’ve enjoyed so many good years together. How could I be content with that? Of course, I have to take everything back. Without He Yiyi, the He family is mine.”
He Yan suspects that Zhang Quan's boss might be in the He family.
The He family is also a large family, with its own people working in the company and pharmaceutical factory.
If the other party knows that their plan is going to fail, they might be provoked into showing themselves.
Before Bo Siheng arrives, she needs to gather as much information as possible.
"You came back to the He family just to seize their inheritance?"
Zhang Quan was also shocked when he heard He Yan's words.
He knew that at this moment, she was definitely telling the truth, which was her true thoughts.
"if not?"
He Yan glanced at him, her face full of feigned ignorance.
Zhang Quan was completely unaware that he had been tricked.
"You're really scary. You're so young, yet you're so cunning!"
He just thought He Yan was really good at pretending. She used to be so indifferent, but he never expected that she was hiding something big.
"But you're too naive. The He family has more than just you."
"Who else could it be but me? He Yunyi took over the antique investment company, and He Wenming is a celebrity, so it's even less likely that he would take over. That leaves only me, right?"
He Yan curled her lips into a smile, her eyes filled with determination.
Her attitude shocked Zhang Quan, who instinctively asked her a question.
"But the He family also has He Yiyi."
"She's just an adopted daughter. Besides, as long as He Yiyi is gone, isn't that enough?"
He Yan chuckled, a sly glint in her eyes.
Zhang Quan has been in the pharmaceutical research department for so many years, and He Yiyi is the head of the pharmaceutical research department. It is simply unrealistic to say that the two of them have never had any communication. Her suspicions about their relationship also make her suspicious.
"I can give you more money, as long as you help me stage an accident."
"Impossible! I only care about money, I won't commit murder!"
Zhang Quan frowned and immediately refused when He Yan asked him to make a move on He Yiyi.
Things took an unexpected turn, leaving him somewhat bewildered.
He Yan's eyes sharpened, and she subtly curled her lips into a smile.
She was almost certain.
It's interesting that Zhang Quan showed no intention of killing He Yiyi.
"That's a pity. You missed a chance to make a lot of money. I didn't even realize you were so principled."
He Yan's thoughts sank slightly, knowing that Zhang Quan would soon realize what was going on.
After thinking for a moment, she changed her approach.
This time, she directly exposed Zhang Quan's pretense at the pharmaceutical factory.
"Actually, I secretly followed you before. You must have a boss behind you, right?"
"Were you the one who was following me?"
Zhang Quan was clearly surprised, and a look of astonishment crossed his eyes.
He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't been careful, his boss's secret would have been exposed.
Thinking this, the surprise in his eyes turned into murderous intent.
"Miss He Yan, aren't you afraid I'll silence you if you say that?"
"That's why I said you're stupid. Why would you give up money from the Bo family, the richest family in the world, and push it away?"
He Yan sneered, completely unfazed by his threats.
How many threats has she received over the years?
"When you work for your boss, don't you hope to be valued and promoted?"
Zhang Quan stared at He Yan with wide eyes, and a wavering appeared in his heart.
Nobody wants to spend their whole life subservient to others.
"I underestimated you. You are indeed extraordinary."
“I don’t think so. You come from the countryside, and so do I. How difficult is life for the poor? Why should those people live in luxury? I believe I have done nothing wrong.”
He Yan saw through Zhang Quan's intentions and continued to embellish the story.
No matter what, the person behind it all has to be lured out.
“You’re just someone who gets things done; if you can’t make decisions, then let your boss decide.”
A hint of hesitation flashed in Zhang Quan's eyes; he was struggling internally.
He didn't answer, nor did he know how to answer.
"Alright, you can go in now."
He forcefully took He Yan back to the bungalow.
He Yiyi immediately ran up, looking very worried.
"Sister, what did you say?"
"Do you really want to know? But why should I tell you?"
He Yan glanced coldly at He Yiyi, leaving her only with her back view, before walking over and sitting down on a chair.
Zhang Quan touched his nose, and when he opened his mouth again, his fierce tone was gone.
He also had his own considerations.
"I will contact the He family to pay the money. If you behave yourselves, I will let you go."
After saying that, he told his younger brother to keep a close eye on the two of them, and then he went to make a phone call.
"Boss, I took them to the village at the foot of Danfeng Mountain as you instructed. They were both very well-behaved. However, He Yan just spoke to me alone. She wants the Bo family to come and exchange the ransom separately."
Zhang Quan reported the matter and then quietly waited for instructions from the other side.
A crackling sound came from the other end of the line.
Then, a mechanical, fake voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You can agree to her request."
