Chapter 682: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here.
The tall dining table leaned against the bar.Sheng Yi sat on one side, Qin Bing on the other, facing each other.
This rushed trip to M Country was somewhat hasty. After confirming the hotel where Sheng Yi was staying, Qin Bing arrived at the first opportunity. Gaining access to her suite was not complicated—enough money could smooth over everything, that simple.
The only troublesome matter was finding her and confirming her location.
Luckily, they finally confirmed she was in room 414.
"Why so restrained? Shouldn’t you be happy to see your cousin?"
Sheng Yi listened to the man’s shameless voice, glanced quietly at him. He was leaning on the table with one hand, looking at her with a half-smile. In his other hand, he played with a cellphone—the case was a collaboration between G and Disney.
It was Sheng Yi’s phone.
It could be said that Qin Bing had cut off all her avenues of help now.
He had taken her wallet, which contained money and various cards, including ID documents. He had also taken her phone, tablet, and any communication devices. The telephone in the hotel was temporarily out of service, and two tall, strong bodyguards were stationed outside her door. Escaping Qin Bing’s watchful eyes and reach was now pure fantasy.
All that was left was the Tiffany women’s watch on her wrist.
She regretted not wearing a smartwatch, but knowing it would also likely have been seized, a tide of helplessness swiftly overwhelmed her heart.
"Qin..." Never mind, she decided to show weakness: "Cousin!"
The man sitting opposite seemed slightly surprised to hear her address him so.
Qin Bing chuckled, switching the cellphone he was playing with to the other hand. He leaned back a little, casually watching the young girl who had shown weakness: "I thought our Yiyi would never call me cousin again."
Sheng Yi pressed her lips together, her molars grinding inside her mouth.
Her gaze fell on the cellphone in Qin Bing’s hand. It was her phone, her only device to communicate with the outside world.
All the roads were blocked; securing a way out depended on her effort. She quickly withdrew her eyes from the cellphone, her voice softer than before when she spoke again: "Cousin, I will go back to the country with you."
"Really?!"
His tone was indifferent.
Not the immediate belief that Sheng Yi had expected to hear from the man.
After all, the old fox remains an old fox. She, a little girl who hadn’t eaten enough for many years, could never be a match for the old fox.
Yet, Qin Bing’s indifferent demeanor did not crush Sheng Yi. She sneaked a glance at Qin Bing’s expression, then lowered her eyes and whispered softly, "I was actually planning to return to the country too, really, I swear." She held up her two fingers.
Qin Bing looked at her, reminding her, "Swearing with two fingers?"
Sheng Yi bit her lip and held up another finger, but it was from her other hand.
Left two fingers, right one finger.
Qin Bing should have been angry, but the little girl in front of him was biting her lip, hanging her head, looking aggrieved and pitiful, which made it hard to stay angry.
Damn it.
Sheng Yi bit her lip for a long time before releasing it: "Yuanyuan already booked me a ticket to return home, you don’t believe me, check the messages on my phone, there’s a flight booking SMS reminding me to select a seat, it’s a midnight flight."
Without Sheng Yi’s reminder, Qin Bing certainly did not miss that message.
It was indeed a midnight flight, heading to Sui City, too.
However, these details were unimportant to Qin Bing. What was crucial was that, since he had personally come to M Country, he would personally take her back.
Absolutely impossible for her to fly back alone on a plane.
Once they were back in the country, he didn’t have the time or leisure to play cat and mouse games.
"I’ve already booked a 9 am flight for tomorrow," Qin Bing paused and fixed his gaze deeply on Sheng Yi: "You will return with me, sit beside me, and head back to Hai City first."
"I won’t!"
These two words came out almost unthinkingly.
Her resistance was just too intense.
However, Qin Bing did not get angry. Instead, his smile made Sheng Yi’s spine tingle with fear. The mere fact that she was alone with an older man was enough to panic her, fearing that he might do something to her at any moment. The disparity in male and female strength was inherently significant, and at that moment, Sheng Yi deeply regretted not taking her mom’s advice to learn some judo for self-defense.
And at this moment.
The door to the suite opened.
