Chapter 199 You Can Tell It's Expensive Just by Hearing It
Qin Yu snorted coldly: "How will you know if you don't try? Besides, haven't you already witnessed my methods?"
Yu Yuetong was terrified. She gripped the doorknob even tighter, her palms soaked with cold sweat.
She quickly calculated in her mind. If she barged in rashly, could she handle it? If she could get Qin Reng away, how could she avoid Qin Yu's sight?
Regardless, she had to take the gamble. So she took a deep breath and pushed open the rusty iron door. The jarring sound instantly drew everyone's attention.
Inside the warehouse, Qin Reng sat on a pile of miscellaneous items, looking somewhat disheveled. Qin Yu stood not far away, holding a metal rod, his gaze coldly fixed on the doorway.
The moment Qin Reng saw her, his expression quickly became complicated. He cursed under his breath, "Yu Yuetong! What are you doing here?!"
Yu Yuetong, clad in seven-centimeter heels, walked with an air of nonchalant confidence. She slipped her hands into the pockets of Qin Reng's luxurious and flamboyant suit, like a random passerby who'd mistakenly entered a music festival with a ticket to the wrong venue. But only she knew that her steps were actually unsteady from the warehouse's chilly wind—her knees were weak, and her palms were so sweaty they could be used to make a refreshing summer drink.
"What am I here for?" She raised an eyebrow, forcing a slightly arrogant smile. "To save you, Mr. Qin, of course. If I don't come, who will?"
These words were spoken with such force that even Qin Reng was stunned for a second. But then, he reacted, gritting his teeth: "Save me? With what, your carp spirit?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuetong inwardly rolled her eyes at him. He was already in such a sorry state, yet he still had the nerve to mock her? But now wasn't the time for arguing; she quickly glanced around the warehouse.
Qin Reng's hands were tied behind his back, and a small cut on the corner of his mouth was oozing blood. It seemed that before the casual conversation, Qin Yu had already made him "experience" something firsthand. Around him, several burly men in black were scattered in various corners, openly holding batons and steel pipes, their faces clearly saying, "Don't mess with me."
"Hmph," Qin Yu looked her over with disdain, seemingly unsurprised by her sudden appearance. "What brings you here, Yu Yuetong? This isn't a place for someone like you."
"That kind of person?" Yu Yuetong strode up to Qin Reng, one hand on her hip, looking utterly arrogant. "Please explain yourself clearly, Young Master Qin Yu. What's wrong with me? I'm your sister-in-law. Is it wrong for me to care about my husband?"
"Sister-in-law?" Qin Yu scoffed, his flippant smile like a knife, designed to provoke. "You think you're worthy?"
"Why am I not worthy?" Yu Yuetong met his cold gaze, a smile playing at the corners of her eyes, and began to spout nonsense, "Don't let my low-key demeanor fool you, I'm actually rolling in money and have hidden real estate. Your brother's way of climbing the social ladder is so efficient and swift, it's almost like he's charging by the piece."
Qin Reng clearly wanted to retort, but he was tightly bound and unable to move. After a long while, he could only manage to utter, "Shut up! Don't cause trouble!"
"Shut up!" Yu Yuetong retorted irritably, her palm landing squarely on Qin Reng's shoulder. She lowered her voice and whispered lightly in Qin Reng's ear, "If you dare to call out again, our relationship is over."
To onlookers, her action seemed like a gesture of reassurance, and Qin Reng did indeed quiet down immediately. However, the expression on his face was even more subtle—from anger to surprise to suppressing laughter, and finally to a look of watching a good show.
"That's interesting." Qin Yu didn't immediately order his men to make a move. Instead, he slowly took a few steps closer, the metal rod in his hand swinging like a pendulum at his side, exuding a hint of potential threat. "But do you really think you can tip the scales?"
"Oh dear, don't mention the scales, my back hurts." Yu Yuetong put on an indifferent smile, but her mind was racing.
Grab everyone's attention in ten seconds, then look for an opportunity to break the deadlock.
In a flash, she raised both hands high—immediately all eyes in the warehouse turned to her.
"Brothers, this scene is so out of touch with the times!" she shouted, trying to suppress the tremor in her voice. "Kidnapping is so competitive these days, aren't you all tired? Why do you have to use warehouses and ruins? Can't you be a little more creative? At least go to a different tourist spot, where you can take some photos and videos, right?"
...The air seemed to freeze for two seconds.
Even the fiercest-looking burly man couldn't help but twitch his lips, and for a moment he forgot to grip the steel pipe tightly.
Qin Reng couldn't hold it in any longer and forcefully turned his head away, but she could clearly see that his shoulders were shaking, probably trying his best to suppress his laughter.
Qin Yu, unusually, showed a hint of stiffness between his sharp brows. As if caught off guard, he paused briefly before letting out a cold snort: "Ridiculous!"
"I have no problem with you finding it ridiculous. Is being ridiculous wrong?" Yu Yuetong retorted with a cold snort, her tone even more irritating than his. "But don't think I'm some kind of defenseless pushover. If I dare to come in, I have a way of taking him away. Do you believe me?"
Her words were so forceful that Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just as everyone's attention was completely drawn to her, a glimmer of light suddenly swept across the warehouse. Accompanied by the faint sound of sirens and a few indistinct footsteps.
Qin Yu's expression changed. He glanced sharply outside and growled, "What's going on?!"
Yu Yuetong breathed a sigh of relief, secretly overjoyed: Hehe, I sent Xiao Su my location a long time ago, so I can have some insurance on top of working myself to the bone. I'm a professional corporate slave!
The lights drew closer, piercing the dim atmosphere of the warehouse. The sirens grew longer, carrying a menacing tone. Yu Yuetong knew this was a gamble she was taking, and her only way out.
Qin Yu had clearly realized the seriousness of the situation. He slammed the metal bar in his hand onto the ground with a deafening crash. His eyes turned icy cold as he swept over his men: "Block those intersections! Stop them!"
Several burly men immediately dropped the steel pipes and hurriedly ran outside. However, Yu Yuetong had no intention of wasting this fleeting window. Her gaze darkened, she gave Qin Reng a suggestive look, and then, with a swift movement, she rushed towards Qin Yu's side.
"You—" Qin Yu had just realized her intention but didn't have time to stop her. Yu Yuetong nimbly ducked, half-squatting down to pick up a broken wooden plank. She gripped the edge of the plank tightly with both hands, then suddenly raised it and chopped at his arm like a cleaver!
The immense impact caused Qin Yu to violently drop the metal rod in his hand, which landed with a resounding thud. Yu Yuetong scrambled to the side, exclaiming, "Wow, this pipe is really high quality; you can tell it's expensive just by the name!"
