100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 512: Releasing the Tiger Back to the Mountain

Xiaoqiao felt at ease hearing her words.

In an instant, the atmosphere returned to normal.

Latter, Xiaoqiao excused herself to change clothes due to sweating, but actually made a secret call to Qin Yao.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Hello, Xiaoqiao..."

"Where are you right now?"

"Is something the matter?"

"Are you in cahoots with Gu Hangshen?"

"I... don’t understand what you mean..."

"If you’re not good at lying, you might as well turn off your phone or just not answer my calls."

Qin Yao sighed; he was just worried that she was calling because of some urgent matter.

Why did she call all of a sudden? Did she discover something? Gu Hangshen hadn’t told him what to do in this situation!

"Xiaoqiao, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Has something happened, or did someone say something to you?" Qin Yao had no choice but to insist he knew nothing.

At his side, a subordinate whispered to Qin Yao, "Boss, should we continue the pursuit?"

Qin Yao waved his hand, signaling him to be silent, and waited until Xiaoqiao hung up the phone. The cautious look on his face instantly turned sharp as he addressed his men directly, "You don’t need to worry about what comes next."

"But if we let the tiger return to the mountain..."

"I have my own judgment."

"Yes, sir." The man had to back down.

Huo Yandong, who had fled, was pursued by Gu Hangshen. The struggling remnants who still wouldn’t give up were taken care of by Long Yan. Sitting here, it seemed there was nothing left for Qin Yao to do.

Qin Yao looked toward Blaine, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries, staring at him with hatred in his eyes.

He had always known that Blaine was actually Huo Yandong’s confidant, and the reason for actively befriending Qin Yao was merely to monitor his actions. Nevertheless, the person who had been closest to Huo Yandong for so many years was Blaine.

Given how things had escalated, he didn’t want to completely fall out with him.

He had tried to persuade him, but Blaine’s loyalty to Huo Yandong was unexpectedly strong.

Even the veterans who had fought alongside Huo Yandong to establish their empire and had followed him for decades were compromising now that the big picture was settled. Why was Blaine so stubborn?

Qin Yao was about to say something, but Blaine interrupted him without waiting, "Stop with the nonsense. Kill me if you will! If you don’t kill me, one day I will kill you!"

"Why are you so blindly devoted to him? Following me, wouldn’t you gain much more?"

"Pah! What do you know? Before I met the boss, I was a nobody, bullied every day, living in darkness. After following him, it was I who bullied others, without a single soul daring to raise their voice against me! I swore I would never betray him in this lifetime!"

It had to be said, Huo Yandong was indeed adept at winning people’s trust and using them well, knowing who would never betray him.

Qin Yao gave him a dismissive glance, "Have you ever thought that Huo Yandong has done so many evil deeds, offended so many people, that even if I don’t kill him, someday someone else will?"

After saying this, Qin Yao turned and left, leaving Blaine frozen in place. It didn’t matter what he thought; after this was over, Qin Yao would have nothing more to do with all this. Whether Blaine stayed or left was irrelevant to him.

These positions of power were someone else’s responsibility to clean up.

Meanwhile, Xiaoqiao knew it was useless to ask Qin Yao, and she didn’t even consider that she might learn anything from Gu Hangshen!
