Chapter 291: Lacking in Brains

Ling Tao was a little lost…

What did Du Gang mean?

What did Qu Wan have to do with Mr. Bai getting tied up with injuries all over his body?

Ling Tao looked at Qu Wan, utterly puzzled, only to see her shiver like a blade of grass in a tornado. Her face was devoid of any color, her lips twitching.

“What’s wrong? You don’t feel well?” Ling Tao asked.

Qu Wan dared to raise her eyes to look at Mr. Bai, only to find him staring back at her.

Right then, her brain went blank; she didn’t know what to do.

Hearing Ling Tao ask her whether she was feeling unwell, she shook her head vigorously. “Tao, I am feeling uncomfortable, where is this place? It’s scary, and I want to leave!”

Qu Wan’s voice was taut with tension and panic. She wanted to get the heck out of there.

Ling Tao looked towards Du Gang, the words rushing out of him in urgency. “Mr. Du, my wife is uncomfortable. I want to take her home!” Ling Tao looked at Mr. Bai. “And, I want to bring my lawyer with me!”

Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya sat on the sofa, watching everything as it unfolded in the dungeon.

Ruan Zeyan asked Ling Tianya, “Are you sure you’re his daughter?”

It wasn’t that Ruan Zeyan was questioning Ling Tianya’s DNA, but because how Ling Tao dealt with problems was so different from Ling Tianya’s style.

Madam Ling was arrogant and petty, Ling Tao was stupid and weak, and Ling Qi was haughty and conceited.

Ruan Zeyan hadn’t seen anyone else in the family other than Ling Tianxin, who was under their watchful care.

Faced with Ruan Zeyan’s questioning, Ling Tianya could only laugh awkwardly.

Watching Ling Tao through the monitor, she thought her father was a bit stupid. If it were anyone else, they would have realized that something was up. He shouldn’t have requested to bring Qu Wan and Mr. Bai home.

In the dungeon, Du Gang denied Ling Tao, “My apologies Mr. Ling, you cannot leave with them.”

“Why not?! Just what exactly is going on?!” Ling Tao was starting to get angry. Ruan Zeyan had said that he wanted to meet them, but he’d been here for so long. He hadn’t seen Ruan Zeyan at all, and he couldn’t leave either!

“Dad.” Right then, the door to the dungeon opened, and Ruan Zeyan walked out with Ling Tianya by his side.

“Yaya, what is going on?” Ling Tao rushed towards Ling Tianya, shocked to see his daughter’s injured lip and her slightly swollen face. “What happened to your cheek? Who hit you?”

Ling Tao immediately looked over at Ruan Zeyan, pulling his daughter behind him.

“Don’t be afraid, Yaya. Daddy will protect you from anyone who dares to hurt you! Anyone who hurts my daughter is a monster!”

Ruan Zeyan was utterly speechless.

Was his future father-in-law’s brain made out of cotton?

Ling Tianya was touched by how Ling Tao chose to protect her. She pulled Ling Tao’s hand away, before looking over at a deathly shocked Qu Wan.

“Ling…Tianya?” Qu Wan shuddered as she muttered her name.

Ling Tianya smiled. “Auntie? Are you surprised to see me?”

Qu Wan’s face was slack, her breathing quickening.

“Yaya, what are you saying?” Ling Tao was more and more confused.

Qu Wan smiled, repeating what Ling Tao said, “Yes, Yaya, what are you saying? I don’t quite understand…”

Ling Tianya gazed at Qu Wan, raising her chin. “You don’t understand? What is it that you don’t understand? The fact that I’m standing here perfectly alright? Or why Mr. Bai’s kidnapping of me failed?!”

Looking at Ling Tianya’s expression, Qu Wan’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes filling with crocodile tears immediately. She looked over at Ling Tao pitifully. “Tao, what is Yaya talking about? What kidnapping? I’ve been at home, and I know nothing!”
