I cannot betray her!” Qin Hai shook his head. “Aren’t you afraid of dying?” Bai Qing chuckled coldly. “Of course, I am, but cooperating with you seems like a dead end too. Zhang Qi, the underground boss of Linhai, used to be the head of security at Xinmeng Group. Last time, to save Jiang Meng, the entire Linhai underworld was mobilized. If I help you, they’ll tear me to pieces.” Qin Hai shook his head. Beauty, money, threats–none seemed to sway Qin Hai. But a smile still lingered on Bai Qing’s face. He suddenly took out his phone and played a video. In the video, several strangers appeared in Qin Hai’s home; the elderly did not know who they were and thought they were Qin Hai’s colleagues, so they were hospitably entertaining them. But Qin Hai knew that in the next moment, his parents might vanish without a trace. Qin Hai was a filial son. That much was beyond doubt. His parents were also his weakness. It was through Tan Ting that Bai Qing had found where Qin Hai’s parents lived. Although costly, it was effective. “You bastards, how could you do such a thing!” Qin Hai said angrily. “Qin Hai, as long as you cooperate with us on this plan, your parents will be unharmed. After it’s done, I’ll let you leave Linhai, leave Jiangnan Prefecture, and I’ll give you a large sum of money. You don’t have to worry about Zhang Qi’s revenge. Once you’re out of Linhai, he won’t have as much power.” Bai Qing said with a faint smile, “I’ll give you time to think, but remember, if you tell anyone about this, I guarantee your parents will turn into corpses immediately! Let him go!” Bai Qing waved his hand. The two strong men holding Qin Hai let him out of the car. “You have one day to consider; after a day, I want your answer. Remember, there’s no need to put your parents in danger for an outsider.” Bai Qing closed the car door, and the car sped away. Not wanting Zhang Qi to know they had come to Linhai, Bai Qing didn’t even stay in a hotel or take the high-speed rail. He drove directly over state roads this time, not even taking the highway, exercising extreme caution. After all, exposure could cost even his life. Qin Hai returned to the company with a heavy heart, no longer interested in eating. At that moment, he was torn to extremes. Jiang Meng trusted him, and he might soar high at Xinmeng Group, reaching the peak of his career. Yet suddenly, this situation happened. If he went through with it, he could no longer stay, and he would also betray Jiang Meng’s trust. If he didn’t do it, what about his parents? So, during work, Qin Hai was in a daze, making many mistakes. After noticing it, Jiang Meng called Qin Hai to her office: “Qin Hai, if you’re not feeling well, you can go home and rest. Take sick leave with pay; don’t worry about it.” Jiang Meng was good to everyone in the company. Apart from paid sick leave, she would also help with medical expenses if someone was really in trouble. The employees of Xinmeng Group truly felt like they were part of a family. Qin Hai was somewhat touched. The reason for his dilemma was that bosses like Jiang Meng may only come once in a lifetime. On his conscience, he truly couldn’t get over it. He opened his mouth and said, “Chairman, about the medicinal herb acquisition in Huangliang Village, could someone else take over?” He really didn’t want to carry such a burden. “Is there a problem?” Jiang Meng asked in confusion: “You can bring up any difficulties you have, but this task has already been assigned to you. Changing people now would lead to unnecessary waste of resources. To tell you the truth, I trust you more and was planning to groom you to be in charge of Xinmeng Pharmaceutical. Just like Zhao Ya’nan did. “If you give up, I’ll really be disappointed,” “I–!” At that moment, Qin Hai truly wanted to spill everything that had happened, but when he thought of his parents’ safety, he ultimately held back. Because he couldn’t be sure whether there were any undercover agents for the other side within Xinmeng Group. If the information leaked, the cost would be too great. “There’s no rush for this, you can rest a bit and look at the information about Huangliang Village. Take it slow,” Jiang Meng said with a smile. “Alright, alright! I do have a bit of a cold, but I’ll be fine with some medicine!” In the end, Qin Hai did not dare to reveal the truth. “If there’s nothing else, then Chairman Jiang, I’ll take my leave first,” said Qin Hai. Right now, he just wanted to run away because he felt like he couldn’t face Jiang Meng. “Go ahead!” Hearing Jiang Meng’s response, Qin Hai left as if fleeing. Xiao Chen had been sitting on the side the whole time, not speaking, just watching Qin Hai’s expressions and eyes, slightly frowning. When Qin Hai left, Xiao Chen also left. Leaving the company, Qin Hai got into his car and rolled up the windows. Then he took out his phone and dialed Bai Qing’s number: “I still can’t agree to your demands. I can’t do something against my conscience.” “Is that so? Then you’d better be prepared to collect your parents’ corpses!” On the other end of the phone, Bai Qing’s voice was as cold as frost. “No, please, I beg you, please don’t kill my parents, I’ll agree, isn’t my agreement enough?! I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” Ultimately, Qin Hai couldn’t abandon his parents. Loyalty and filial piety have always been hard to balance. “Now, that’s being good!” After hanging up, Qin Hai cried over the steering wheel for a long time. “Why! Why me! Damn it!” After a while, he wiped his tears and drove away. From beginning to end, Qin Hai hadn’t noticed that someone was crouching next to his car. Xiao Chen’s hearing was extraordinary, no, to be precise, all his senses were uncommon. Even though Qin Hai had rolled up the windows to make the call, Xiao Chen heard everything very clearly, including the voice on the other end of the phone. But he did not disturb Qin Hai. Honestly, Qin Hai’s actions were not blameworthy. If it were him, he couldn’t just stand by and watch his own parents be killed either. He only hated Bai Qing for using such a despicable tactic. “Zhang Qi, find Qin Hai’s parents immediately and protect them!” Xiao Chen called Zhang Qi. The biggest problem was that Qin Hai’s parents were in the hands of the other side; if this issue could be resolved, everything else would cease to be a problem. Back at the company. Jiang Meng kept an eye on Xiao Chen. “How’s the investigation going?” Jiang Meng asked with a smile. “Investigate what?” Xiao Chen was taken aback for a moment. “Don’t lie to me, I’m not a fool. Qin Hai’s demeanor was clearly off; there must be something wrong. I actually hoped he would speak up himself. Unfortunately, he didn’t. If I could see there was a problem, surely you must have noticed as well, right?

Looking at it now, it seemed he had underestimated his own wife.
