PNB Chapter 229 A familiar figure
Chapter 229 A familiar figure
It wasn't until the car stopped at the side of the road in the central square in the city center and Huo Wanqing saw Garland proposing to Evelyn on the big screen that she understood.
Ares wanted to stimulate her in this way, to destroy Evelyn at all costs and work for him.
Although she hated Evelyn and Garland, who had done his best for Evelyn, she was very clear-headed.
She wanted to keep this life to watch Evelin fall and kneel on the ground begging for her!
"I have a plan."
An idea suddenly came to Huo Wanqing's mind. She turned her gaze towards Ares and spoke slowly.
"All ears."
Ares nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, don't you want to stir up trouble?"
“I can kidnap Evelin and divert the Lan family’s focus and forces.”
"To provide cover for your grand plan so that you can attack the Lan family by surprise."
Huo Wanqing was sketching out a plan that was gradually taking shape in her mind, and she was instinctively feeling murderous towards Evelin.
"How can you be sure that kidnapping Evelin can shake the Lan family army?"
Ares seemed to have heard some joke and didn't care at all.
"Evelyn is the most important person to Garland."
"Let alone being kidnapped, even if Evelin disappeared on her own, Garland would have wanted to mobilize all the Lan family troops to search for her."
Huo Wanqing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, even though what she stated was a fact known to everyone.
But she was very dissatisfied with Ares for making fun of her and insisting on hearing her admit in person how important Evelyn was to Garland.
“I’m afraid Miss Huo just wants to take revenge on Evelin, right?”
Ares seemed to have seen through Huo Wanqing a long time ago, and a meaningful smile appeared on his handsome face.
His smile was sometimes real and sometimes fake, and his expression never showed his emotions.
Huo Wanqing had no way of guessing what Ares was thinking from the expression on his face.
"Your Highness, I admit that I have such selfish intentions. After all, because of Evelin, I suffered a lot of inhuman torture in prison."
Speaking of this, Huo Wanqing thought of her sister Jiao who was killed by her.
She would also be able to see that tragic look of death on Evelin’s face one day.
"I can't swallow this, and I won't let her go easily."
"But if I do this, Your Highness won't have to pay too much attention to the Lan family's movements."
"Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"Your Highness puts profit above all else, and I, Huo Wanqing, am not someone who never seeks profit."
“Isn’t win-win cooperation the most perfect situation?”
Huo Wanqing's words made Ares fall into complete silence. Huo Wanqing looked calm, but she was waiting for Ares anxiously.
He just closed his eyes gently, as if he was seriously thinking about how true or false what Huo Wanqing said was.
How many advantages are there?
"In that case..."
"Ms. Huo, it's a pleasure to work with you."
When Ares opened his eyes again, they were clear.
The confidence that he exuded made Huo Wanqing feel inferior.
"Pleasant to work with."
When Huo Wanqing touched Ares' wine glass, her heart finally sank back into her stomach.
After wandering around, Evelin finally found Oli’s sports car, got the keys from the security guard, and set off back to the Lan family.
The lights were green all the way, and when they approached the Lan family, a slender white figure passed by Evelin’s peripheral vision.
Evelin’s pupils shrank instantly and she braked slammingly, her forehead hitting the steering wheel hard.
It's Huo Wanqing! ?
She was released from prison!
When Evelin came to her senses, she hurriedly lowered the car window and looked around, wanting to take a closer look.
"How is that possible? I must have made a mistake..."
Evelin's forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, and she muttered to herself with a slightly empty look in her eyes as she pulled the corners of her mouth.
After sorting out all her emotions, Evelin started the sports car again, and the car quickly drove into the Lan family courtyard and disappeared.
A white figure slowly walked out from the corner. She had no makeup on and her long hair was loose. She had scars of varying degrees of depth and shallowness on her body.
Huo Wanqing looked at Lanbao, which was so close yet so far away in the horizon, and countless ripples surged in her heart.
She had almost become the mistress of this place before, but now, because of Evelin, she was falling into the abyss step by step.
From a gentle girl at the beginning, she turned into a vicious woman who would do anything to achieve her goals for men, power and money.
All of this is because of Evelin!
Why can she occupy all resources and make this world so unfair?
Why, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't completely shake Garland's feelings for Evelyn.
Evelyn can come and go in Lanburg without restraint and enjoy a luxurious life above everyone else, but she will have to endure inhuman torture in prison and be used as a gun by the scheming Ares.
Even if you re-enter society, you can only hide in the dark and live like a rat in the gutter!
If she couldn't reconcile with Garland again, she would never allow Evelyn to enjoy Garland's favor so easily.
"Why aren't you taking action?"
A dark figure walked out from the darkness, and a hoarse voice rang out, interrupting Huo Wanqing's gradually boiling hatred.
“Didn’t you see all the hidden cameras?”
"How many lives do you have to kidnap someone from right under the Lan family's noses!"
"Even if we succeed in taking the person away, do you think Garland will be able to find him?"
Huo Wanqing glanced at the black shadow unhappily and raised her chin to signal him to observe his surroundings.
The black shadow looked in the direction of Huo Wanqing's chin. He didn't know until he looked that everywhere they could see were cameras of various sizes.
Whether hidden in the dark or in the light, they are densely packed, almost covering the entire road leading to Lanburg, with no blind spots.
Originally, Huo Wanqing planned to take this opportunity to lure Evelin to this little-lit path.
The shadowy figure and his men had ambushed here early, and as soon as Evelin stepped in, they knocked her out and put her in the car.
It was because Huo Wanqing accidentally saw these cameras that she changed her original plan, walked into the alley and hid, and never appeared in front of Evelin again.
"Does Your Highness Ares know?"
The black shadow's expression changed, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with Huo Wanqing's self-assertion.
"You don't have to use the prince to pressure me."
"Even if he were here today, he would make the same decision as me."
"He's not as stupid as you!"
"And your highness has already said that I am in full control. You should listen to me instead of questioning me!"
Huo Wanqing's impatience was too obvious. As she listened to the black shadow mention Ares, she folded her arms in mockery.
She looked at him with the aura of a superior, trying to put pressure on the shadow.
"You are not my superior. I am only subordinate to His Highness."
"I am only loyal to His Majesty Ares!"
