Chapter 1284 - 1256: Preparing for Delivery

Chapter 1284: Chapter 1256: Preparing for Delivery

If heading to the hospital, you should turn left from Huanghai Road, and then it’s just a few minutes to the city. But Qian saw him turn the car to the right, that’s the road to the outskirts!

As Qian spoke, she pressed the redial button on her pager, intending to call Yu Minglang.

Generally, people don’t react so quickly when faced with problems. Qian has been with Yu Minglang for a long time, she’s sensitive to certain things, and as soon as she senses something is off, she reacts swiftly.

The phone connected quickly, but instead of bringing the phone to her mouth, Qian asked loudly.

"Driver, where are you going? You’re not headed to the hospital, are you? Why did you turn right?"

"Hehehe..." The driver suddenly let out a cold laugh.

Qian sensed something was wrong and quickly brought the phone to her mouth, wanting to tell Yu Minglang that she was in trouble, but it was too late.

The signal on the pager was cut off!

Anyone who has used a pager knows that its signal isn’t as stable as a mobile phone, but it shouldn’t have problems like this.

There must be some kind of jammer in this car!

Realizing something was wrong, Qian forced herself to calm down immediately.

"Who are you, who sent you, what is your purpose?"

Qian’s mother reflexively wanted to stop the driver when she sensed something was wrong, but the iron bars blocked her. Qian tried to pull the car door, only to find it was locked, and the windows wouldn’t open either.

"Hehe, after all, we’ve lived under the same roof for so many years, and now that your days are better, you forgot me so quickly?"

When this voice sounded, both Qian and her mother were startled.

This voice was unmistakable to them; it was Chen Lin, who had disappeared for so long that even Qian and Yu Minglang couldn’t find him!

He had been gone for so long and suddenly appeared now as a taxi driver. This could only mean one thing.

He had been watching Qian for a long time!

Realizing this, Qian immediately calmed down.

"Who sent you, how much are they paying you, I’ll pay you double."

"Haha! Scared now, are you? It’s too late!"

"Chen Lin, what do you want appearing now? Qian’er isn’t feeling well. If you have any human decency left, you’d turn around and take her to the hospital. After all, she is your daughter!" Qian’s mom didn’t know as much as Qian. She wasn’t as nervous seeing Chen Lin and thought he was just in need of money again.

Unexpectedly, her words hit a nerve with Chen Lin, and he suddenly became furious.

"You bitch! You’ve made me wear the green hat all these years, scheming behind this little bitch, causing me to lead a miserable existence. I won’t let you off!"

"What nonsense are you talking! I remarried after divorcing you, what’s that got to do with you?" Qian’s mom thought Chen Lin was referring to her marriage to Mr. Liao.

Qian quickly interrupted, not wanting her mother to know about the past, especially regarding that matter with Qio Yu Xuan, as it would complicate things.

"Name your price. How much do you want?"

All Qian needed was to stabilize Chen Lin’s emotions; everything else would follow if he calmed down. She needed to delay as long as possible.

"Money? Haha! I don’t want money, I’m just not satisfied, I want to kill you!"

This isn’t Chen Lin.

Qian immediately sensed something was wrong.

After all, she’d lived under the same roof as Chen Lin for so long, she knew him all too well.

He was petty, selfish, and favored sons over daughters, but he had a fatal flaw, he loved money.

No matter what, nothing couldn’t be settled with money in his eyes. If you’d mention money to him, he’d immediately show a greedy expression. Even last time, he knew she wasn’t his daughter, but he still shamelessly demanded money. This behavior was off.

"One million, no, five million plus a house, just stop the car and let us out."

"I want to kill you!"

Chen Lin repeated the same phrase.

Qian was shocked inside. His state was like someone possessed, did someone give him drugs?

"Who is she, and who am I?" Qian asked.

"You think I’m stupid? She’s the old bitch who made me wear the green hat, and you’re the little bastard she gave birth to. Both of you should die."

Qian’s mom also felt something was wrong. She held onto Qian’s clothes with trembling hands, nervously saying, "Qian’er, is he crazy?"

Qian didn’t answer but she understood.

He wasn’t crazy, it seemed like a mental problem. He still recognized people but was unreasonably fixated on one thing.

If only the bars weren’t there.

Qian glanced at the iron bars in front of the driver’s seat. If the bars weren’t there, she could crush the defense pill Xuan gave her for protection, and use short-term hypnosis to make him stop the car.

If he couldn’t stop, she could quickly get to the driver’s seat and emergency brake.

With those bars blocking the way, if she hypnotized him and he had trouble executing commands, the car would go out of control and she and her mother would be doomed.

She was already nine months along, she couldn’t risk even the slightest bump, so this method was out for now. Better to wait and see if he would stop the car and then take him down.

With this in mind, Qian calmed down.

She embraced her mother’s shoulder, using her strength to soothe her mother’s emotions. Qian’s mother was terrified, her lips ashen with fear, not scared for herself but worried about Qian.

Qian worried that her mother might say something to provoke Chen Lin’s abnormal emotions, so she gestured for her mother to remain silent.

Qian herself also went silent. When she noticed Chen Lin’s mental abnormality, she realized ordinary conversation wouldn’t work. Her mind raced, analyzing the situation.

Although she wasn’t entirely sure, there was at least an eighty percent chance that Chen Lin had been manipulated by someone. If it was just a mental issue leading him to seek revenge, it wouldn’t happen. Not to mention, with his love for money, he couldn’t do without her. Plus, how could an impoverished man dare to get a taxi?

And he appeared exactly when they flagged down the taxi, meaning he’d been staking them out for a long time.

Her family usually drove wherever they went, rarely taking taxis, so what was his plan before this?

To monitor her, or intend to crash their car to create an accident where both parties perished?

This thought made Qian shiver. Although she knew Chen Lin was timid and cherished life, never daring to act rashly, what if he wasn’t mentally sound?

Qian calculated the situation calmly, but her lower abdomen ached intermittently. Her heart tightened at the thought of the child inside her, who had been inactive for a long time, that was her biggest worry.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.
