Chapter 2703 - 2718: Resolute Madness 4

Xia Tian patted her back soothingly, telling her not to be nervous.

Gu Qingxin returned to the bedroom, and the first thing she did was sell the photos she had.

She didn’t go to the newspaper again, as that wouldn’t make much money; she sold the photos to a paparazzo with no scruples.

This way, she could fetch a higher price.

Moreover, she set a condition that the news must explode tomorrow.

The other party agreed, and after a round of ’intense’ bargaining, Gu Qingxin finally sold the photos for fifty thousand.

In fact, the intensity was only from the other party; Gu Qingxin had only one answer, a fixed price, no negotiation.

This left the other party with no complaints.

The other party was straightforward when it came to paying because they knew Gu Qingxin wasn’t easy to fool.

Otherwise, things would end up badly with nothing gained.

Gu Qingxin didn’t give all the photos to the other party; she said she would send them to their email after midnight tonight.

After finishing, Gu Qingxin decided to sleep and catch up on rest; she was indeed too exhausted last night.

Not long after lying down, Gu Qingxin fell asleep.

Beiming Han knew that Gu Qingxin didn’t want to see him now, so he didn’t linger. He had many things to handle in the morning, so he decided to leave.

When leaving, his gaze was fixed on the direction of Gu Qingxin’s bedroom. Lin Yin watched him, feeling sad inside; she really needed to talk to Qingxin seriously this time. Why would she do this to Xiao Bei, such a good person?

...

Bai Qianqian woke up in the afternoon. She sat up and let out a long breath, finally completing another task.

She took out her phone, dialed a number, and said, "I’ve completed the task you asked for."

"Well done!"

"When do you plan to let me go?" Bai Qianqian gazed indifferently out the window.

"When you lose your value to me." The other party hung up the phone after speaking.

Bai Qianqian slowly put down the phone in her hand, suddenly feeling very tired. In the second year after she gave birth to Bai Xiaobai, he was suddenly kidnapped; her son was everything to her. To give birth to him, she endured all kinds of hardships.

So she could only obey the other party to exchange for her son’s life.

Later, the condition for the other party to return Bai Xiaobai was that she had to take a type of poison, and they would regularly give her the antidote, the premise being that she had to obey.

The demands weren’t many, only two to three times a year, but each time involved killing.

Considering her son was still young, Qianqian could only endure humiliation and complete each task sent by them.

She still remembered how, after her first kill, fear and despair nearly crushed her entirely—if she hadn’t seen her son who had just learned to walk awkwardly, she might have collapsed into suicide.

Since then, she forced herself to be harsh with her son, making him learn various life skills as soon as he understood things.

Because she wasn’t sure if the next time she went to kill, she would be able to return alive.

If she couldn’t come back alive, her son could still live well alone.

Now she finally returned her son to Bai Jingqing, and she could finally be completely relieved.

At the most desperate moments, she even considered committing suicide after sending Xiao Bai back; that way, no one would suffer anymore.

But she couldn’t bring herself to leave Bai Jingqing and Xiao Bai; she started to become greedy.
