My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather’s House! (Web Novel) - Chapter 273 Rescue
Chapter 273 Rescue
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
1.2 million yuan was enough to buy Qiao Yi’s conscience.
1.2 million yuan was a large sum now that he was no longer part of the Qiao family.
When Qiao Yi was exiled from the family, most of his assets were frozen. Old Master Qiao had only left him a few properties and a company on the verge of bankruptcy.
While Qiao Yi was not some good-for-nothing wastrel, he was not particularly outstanding either. Back then, he had the whole family’s support and could lead a life of excess. Now that most of the assets he had access to were frozen, Qiao Yi’s standard of living had taken a hit.
Qiao Yi actively helped Andy facilitate his deals to ensure he earned greater margins to prop up his standard of living.
Every girl he successfully auctioned off would net him a portion of the profits. Qiao Yi felt that his conscience was a small price to pay in pursuing greater wealth.
Otherwise, how could he have had the courage to push these girls into the pits of hell? To sunder their futures and tarnish their hopes… No one with an ounce of moral sense would do such a thing.
“Son, you’ve done a marvelous job. If not for your resources, how could we have found so many girls for Andy to choose from? Tell you what, I’ll let you take your pick later,” Qiao Yi said as he eyed another 200,000 yuan entering his account.
Qiao Yi slapped his thigh and pointed out a few girls to Qiao Ze, who shook his head in response.
Qiao Ze checked the time. If he remembered things correctly, the operation was supposed to be underway by now.
Eyeing the girls being led out one by one, Qiao Ze frowned. Why hadn’t they arrived yet?
Jin Lu, Andy’s pick of the night, was not sent to another room. Instead, she was led to a seat next to Andy.
Jin Lu was a little worried. Had she been exposed? Wasn’t she supposed to be sent to one of those wealthy, powerful individuals? Why did Andy want her to stay behind?
Andy’s expression was normal. He would look at Jin Lu from time to time, but his gaze was always gentlemanly and restrained.
He was a good host, polite and conscientious to a fault, showing just the right amount of admiration in his shy glances.
If Jin Lu had not known better, she would have been deceived by his act.
Andy poured Jin Lu a glass of wine and said, “There’s nothing to worry about, Miss Jin. We want to offer you an exclusive contract. As you are very talented, the contents of the contract will differ from the rest. Please give us a moment.”
Jin Lu tried to hold her glass of wine as naturally as she could.
However, her nerves betrayed her. The glass shook as her hands trembled, and wine spilled from its mouth, staining her dress.
She met Andy’s steady gaze like a deer caught in the headlights. “I-I’m sorry. I wasn’t holding the glass properly.”
“That’s alright. There’s no need to be nervous.” Andy opened a packet of tissues and dabbed the stains forming on Jin Lu’s dress dry.
The veins on his hands stood out, and there was a mole on the back of his hand. His skin was a little rough, contrasting with his delicate features.
Seeing Jin Lu’s expression, Andy smiled. “My hands aren’t pretty. I’ve been raising horses since I was young, so they’re rough. I hope Miss Jin doesn’t mind.”
Jin Lu shook her head and leaned back.
Qiao Yue watched with bated breath as Jin Lu interacted with Andy from the monitoring room she was nestled in. A hand like Andy’s did not come about by raising horses.
Someone who trained horses would not have calluses where Andy had his. If he had held a whip since he was young, Andy should have had calluses along the palm of his hand, not on his fingertips or the area between his thumb and forefinger.
Those types of calluses formed from prolonged use and exposure to firearms!
It was not strange for someone like Andy to be familiar with guns, but the young master figure he was trying to project certainly should not possess calluses like those.
Andy was probably a gunman and likely not inferior to her.
Qiao Yue held her breath, continuing her vigil as time passed.
They nearly had all the evidence they needed. The only thing left was to cut the building’s power and bring him into custody.
Andy was standing very close to Jin Lu; the distance between them could have caused anyone to mistake them for a couple.
Andy’s hair brushed past the body camera disguised as a button, and Qiao Yue felt her heart threaten to leap out of her chest.
Andy slowly raised his head, looking straight at the hidden camera.
It almost felt like Andy was staring at her through the screen.
His eyes were a black hole. Sin and mystery entwined in an endless vortex, sucking people into those abyssal depths.
The next second, Andy pressed a finger against the button.
