Chapter 313 - 313: Danger Behind the Scenes
Several drivers around her opened their windows and scolded her. When Mary saw this, she quickly apologized and walked quickly across the road.
“Sister Mary, I’ve been looking for you for a long time, but you didn’t answer my calls. So here you are.” A familiar voice sounded from behind her. Mary turned around and saw Yin Rui walking over with a shopping bag in his hand.
When she saw Yin Rui, Mary remembered that she had only seen Yin Rui once in the morning. Because she was too busy, she had forgotten about Yin Rui.
‘Where have you been?” Mary asked.
Yin Rui was personally passed to her by Yin Xun to manage. When she thought of her own younger brother, she looked at Yin Rui deeply. This time, she had to take good care of Yin Rui. She could not let him suffer the same fate.
The person Yin Xun had provoked this time was too strong. He even dared to do such an illegal thing. She did not know what they would do next. Her poor brother had already been implicated by her.
“Uh, I went to meet my classmate. Sister Mary, don’t tell my sister. You know her personality. If she finds out that I’m with my classmates, she’ll kill me,” Yin Rui pleaded with Mary.
Mary forced a smile and said, “Just this once. I won’t help you hide it next time.”
Yin Rui was instantly happy. He smiled and said, “Alright, Sister Mary. You’re indeed the most understanding person.”
The corners of Mary’s mouth stiffened. It was obvious that she was faking a smile. It was an uglier sight than crying.
Yin Rui realized that something was wrong and asked with concern, “Sister Mary, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you’re not feeling well, go back and rest in the afternoon. Don’t tire yourself out. My sister will definitely give you leave.”
“It’s fine.” Mary raised her hand to pat her cheek and sighed. Then, she pretended to be casual and said, “Lil Rui, let me ask you something. If, hypothetically, a person is captured by a criminal who threatens his family that he would be harmed, do you think you should agree to their demands or not?”
“Of course, we can’t agree, but we can’t reject him directly. This will anger the criminal. We should call the police. This is the safest way,” Yin Rui replied after thinking for a while.
He was surprised by the question. After all, with their identities, it was always easy for them to attract the attention of criminals. He had heard much news about rich young masters being kidnapped since he was young, but the other party only wanted money in those cases.
Because of their identities, the criminals also knew the consequences of killing them, so they basically disappeared after receiving the money. They wouldn’t really kill them.
However, Mary was still worried. She said, “But the other party won’t let us call the police and we’re forbidden to tell anyone. They said that ifwe tell anyone, we’ll torture him to death. What should we do?’
Although Mary usually looked like she was in a hurry and could help Yin Xun with any business matters, she was only limited to work issues. Mary had never encountered such a thing before, so when she suddenly received the news, she panicked and did not know how to resolve it.
Yin Rui saw Mary’s expression and asked in confusion, “Sister Mary, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Hearing Yin Rui’s question, Mary suddenly came to her senses. She could not continue; it would be troublesome if Yin Rui found out.
Moreover, she had already been targeted. Yin Rui would only be in more danger if he continued to follow her.
At the thought of this, Mary said to Yin Rui, “Lil Rui, go back to the company first. I have something else to deal with. I’ll bring you back after I’m done.”
Yin Rui frowned. Mary’s face was pale and she looked dazed. It was obvious that something was wrong.
He wanted to ask something else, but Mary did not give him the chance. She pushed him away before he could say anything. “Go back quickly. I have some personal matters to attend to.”
After asking Yin Rui to leave, Mary looked at the time. The appointment with the agent was in an hour. She had to hurry and prepare.
Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang again.
The phone had been ringing for the past few days, and it was always a bad thing. As a result, she was instinctively afraid when she heard her phone ring.
She did not know if it was her parents or the mysterious caller. She took a deep breath and finally took out her phone from her pocket.
Sure enough, it was her mother, the person she was most afraid of.
“Hello, Mom.
“Don’t call me Mom, you wretched girl. I told you to find a solid job and find a rich man to marry, but you didn’t listen and insisted on going out to work on your own. You said that you had to rely on yourself. Now, you haven’t even made a name for yourself but you ‘ve already implicated your brother! I don’t care what methods you use.. Hurry up and save your brother, or I’ll cut ties with you!’
