Chapter 2545 If the open approach doesn't work, let's try the covert one!

Chapter 2545

That makes sense. Qin Yue gave her a thumbs up, and then the two parted ways.

Qiao Ya and Hai Jing returned to the car. As Hai Jing drove back, he pursed his lips and said:

"Actually, I know where Qiao Xinran is!"

Qiao Ya looked at him suspiciously and asked, "How did you know?"

Haijing said, "Yuan Xiaohua's people sent me a message that they have information about Qiao Xinran's whereabouts."

"Now it depends on what you think: whether you openly arrest her or deal with her secretly."

Qiao Ya pursed her lips and said, "Do I even need to ask?"

“If we openly arrest them, you’ve heard what Qin Yue said: the chief inspector and the governor are birds of a feather, and most of the people in the police station have been bribed by them.”

"The entire police station is a mess, and it's impossible for them to give us justice."

"So, let's use whatever means we have."

He paused for a moment and then added, "The police's inaction is actually beneficial to us, as long as it doesn't give them any leverage."

"Even if they wanted to find fault with us, they wouldn't be able to."

Hai Jing remained silent for a moment, a struggle churning within her.

His good upbringing and military skills taught him that he could not do anything illegal or disorderly.

The problem lies in this land.

What is law? And what are the principles they should abide by?

Hai Jing hesitated for only a moment before replying:

"I'll discuss it with Yuan Xiaohua again, and once we've confirmed the exact location, we'll take action tonight."

Qiao Ya hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more. She also knew very well that some things couldn't be rushed and that Hai Jing needed to think things through on her own.

After returning to the Qiao family home, Haijing called one of Yuan Xiaohua's men. The two met outside, talked for a while, and then Haijing left.

As night fell that evening, Haijing went out alone, dressed in a simple black suit, wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat.

After he left, Qiao Ya got dressed and waited at the door.

She didn't know where Haijing had gone, but she could guess the purpose of his trip.

She was worried.

After hesitating for a while, I went to find my grandfather anyway.

Upon hearing that Haijing had gone out, Qiao Yang nodded and then turned to instruct his trusted aide:

"Send a few people to clean up the mess at Haijing, so he doesn't leave any evidence against us."

About two hours later, Hai Jing returned and dragged a person out of the car; it was Qiao Xinran.

Qiao Xinran was beaten badly, her face swollen like a pig's head.

With one leg broken and both hands swollen like buns, she had no ability to hurt anyone anymore.

As they pulled her out, Qiao Ya asked in confusion, "Who beat her up like this?"

Haijing said, "I took a taxi."

He paused and said, "I didn't hit her face, but I crippled both of her arms, and I didn't hit her legs either."

According to Hai Jing, when he found Qiao Xinran, she had already been severely injured.

Haijing was worried that she might cause some trouble, because she had already broken one leg, so it would be difficult for her to escape, but she still had two hands.

Hai Jing recalled that Jiang Wan often included foreshadowing in her novels.

It's like this: whether it's a villain or a righteous person, after being injured and knocked unconscious, the other party goes to do other things, leaving him there without a care. As a result, when the person who was knocked unconscious wakes up, he can launch another counterattack.

Jiang Wan once explained at the end of the novel: "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. How do you cut them at the root? Either cut off their head directly, or give them another blow. If all else fails, you have to cripple their hands and feet, otherwise you'll be putting yourself in a dangerous situation."

Jiang Wan only said these words in a small theater at the time, and Hai Jing also strongly agreed with this part when he read her novel.

However, he used to be an officer in the army, so he wouldn't do something like finishing off someone.

But things are different now. He is now a free man, and what's more, Qiao Xinran is very clever and particularly good at causing trouble. If he is not careful, he is afraid that Qiao Xinran will have a chance to make a comeback.

So after finding Qiao Xin, he covered her mouth without saying a word and broke both of her arms.

When Qiao Ya saw Qiao Xinran's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing the laughter, Qiao Xinran woke up. When she saw that it was Qiao Ya, she was so angry that she opened her mouth to curse!

Only then did I realize that my whole face was swollen, and it was difficult to speak because my face was so swollen that I couldn't open my mouth wide.

Therefore, the sound that came out was like biting one's tongue.

The pronunciation is unclear.

This only made it more ridiculous, causing Qiao Ya to laugh even louder until she finally collapsed on the sofa, clutching her stomach and unable to get up.

Qiao Xinran's appearance made not only Qiao Ya want to laugh, but even the old man couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

He tapped his cane on the ground and said, "Alright, stop laughing."

Then he looked at Qiao Xinran: "As long as you return everything you took from the Qiao family, I will spare your life."

On the contrary, I will not forgive you.

He paused, then added, "If you can provide me with some important clues..."

"Depending on the quality and importance of the clues you provide, I may also consider sending you abroad to study."

"However, you can no longer use the Qiao family name from now on, and the Qiao family will have nothing to do with you anymore."

The old man's words immediately lit up Qiao Xinran's eyes, and she asked in astonishment, "Really? Is that possible?"

The old man nodded: "Of course, I, Qiao Yang, am a man of my word. What I say, I will do."

Qiao Ya glanced at him sideways, knowing that the old man was playing word games again.

He swore he wouldn't kill anyone, and of course he didn't do it himself, so of course he didn't kill anyone.

The old man noticed his granddaughter's gaze and winked at her.

Qiao Ya pursed her lips and turned her head away, too lazy to expose the old man's trick.

In fact, everyone knows very well that once Qiao Xinran arrives today, she cannot leave the Qiao family alive.

Raising a tiger to cause trouble is not their style; it's just that the old man is making empty promises to Qiao Xinran, so naturally he has to cooperate.

Qiao Xinran thought about it. She was already in this state. If she couldn't get the old man to stand on her side and save her life, she was doomed.

She didn't want to die; she hadn't lived enough.

Of course, part of the reason is that she hid the money the Qiao family earned. She used the Qiao family's name to pimp outside, and the money she earned was not fixed at all.

She can embezzle as much as she wants, and even if Qiao Zhendong finds out, what can he do to her?

So she's not afraid of this being exposed at all; at worst, she'll just pack up and leave.

The only thing that annoyed her was that she had originally planned to extort money from her eight boyfriends before leaving, to get more money from them.

Unexpectedly, things went wrong at this crucial final moment.

Eight people came to the door together, but they didn't get a single penny.

They even beat him up badly.
