Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 245

Xiao Ya was slightly surprised, but she quickly calmed down and said to Edith, "You're very clever."

Edith curtsied, holding her skirt, "Thank you."

After this action, her gaze at Xiao Ya had changed slightly.

Edith touched her face and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so candid... Well, your heart is much stronger than hers."

She pointed at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue's face was stern, and she felt a bit nervous inside.

She could see through that Xiao Ya was here by her brother's arrangement.

Edith had also seen through it... What would happen next? Would the Brotherhood's deterrence be enough for Edith to maintain her composure?

As Qin Yue pondered this, she heard Edith say again, "I just had someone check the key of that Green Jones, and yes, he is in the member database. But I think his position in the Brotherhood is not high enough."

"Otherwise, he would know that there are also countless connections between us and the people from the Brotherhood."

Xiao Ya moved her lips but showed no fear.

Edith continued to stare at her expression and said, "Do you remember the first show you watched?"

"Those girls were selected by us as gifts for the audience on the second floor."

"Do you know who sits on the second floor?"

"I've been emphasizing to you that you can have special privileges. These privileges are given by them."

"Qin Yue being here is not bad. At least she is on our side, not with those girls in the dance hall..."

"You don't need to save her."

"I also admire you. There's a Chinese idiom called 'left and right arms,' if Gui Wenxin is my left arm, perhaps you can be my right arm."

"If you don't want to, then the best person to come and get you is your brother, the Chief Inspector, maybe there's still a chance."

Edith's words were well-measured.

No wonder she could trap Qin Yue into her scheme so firmly.

Xiao Ya spoke openly, "Let me think about it."

Edith smiled at her, "Alright."

Qin Yue still held Xiao Ya's hand, her palm soaked with sweat.

She had mentioned that Edith's background was complicated... and this was also on someone else's turf.

The Brotherhood was useless now, it couldn't scare Edith.

What to do?

Should she advise Zhang Ruoshui to temporarily accept Edith's conditions, just like she did before?

"Can you tell me who the guests upstairs are?" Xiao Ya asked.

Edith smiled and said, "I don't mind telling you, because once you hear it, you'll only have one path left. Even if I like you and am willing to let you go, the guests upstairs won't."

Such words brought strong psychological pressure.

Qin Yue gripped Xiao Ya's hand even tighter, pulling it and shaking her head, signaling her not to listen.

But Xiao Ya still seemed "rebellious."

She looked at Edith, "Go ahead, tell me."

Edith immediately listed a few names and told her, "You can search for them on the internet."

Edith even kindly had the internal signal block turned off.

Xiao Ya searched immediately.

And indeed, she found them...

"The Prime Minister's stepson," "The Finance Minister's brother-in-law," "The Governor's cousin," "The Admiral's godson"...

Xiao Ya, who had been considering whether to involve Ke Muning and her uncle in this mess, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up and asked a question, "Who introduced them to you?"

Edith's surprise deepened, "How did you know it was someone else... Talking to you is really interesting."

She spread her hands, "I don't mind telling you."

Xiao Ya pointed at Gui Wenxin, "Her?"

Edith nodded, "Ke Muning has countless connections with the Pentagon, and the Gui family has dealings with politicians from various countries..."

Xiao Ya's expression became a bit strange for a moment.

Hmm.

She guessed right.

Comparing the information presented by the search engine, she discovered this point—

These so-called influential "guests" themselves did not hold important positions, but were "relatives" of those big shots.

Because it's too difficult to fake big shots, but it's much easier to fake their relatives.

This fake idea was similar to Gui Wenxin's.

Taking advantage of the signal recovery, Xiao Ya quickly sent a short message using keyboard shortcuts.

She finished sending it in less than a minute.

Suddenly, a crew member rushed in and told Edith, "Miss, a cruise ship is speeding towards us, as if to ram us."

Edith looked puzzled at the crew member, "This should be reported to the captain, not to me. Can't we just change course to avoid it?"

The crew member was sweating, "We can't avoid it. There are four cruise ships and a transport ship, all heading towards us."

Edith's face changed, "How could this happen?"

"The captain tried to communicate with them, but they refused," the crew member's expression was very bad, because once a maritime disaster occurs, it's really, dead without a whole body.

"Should we report to the maritime police and have them warn them of their irregular behavior?"

"Or... notify the Gui family's shipping company?" The crew member looked at Gui Wenxin for help.

Gui Wenxin lowered her eyes and took out her phone, "I'll try."

Edith looked at her expectantly.

Half a minute later.

Gui Wenxin said apologetically, "I can't get through, maybe my uncle and the others are in a meeting."

"Can't you contact the shipping company directly?" Edith also became a bit nervous, losing her previous composure.

Gui Wenxin was even more apologetic, "I don't have the contact information of the people below, whenever I have something, I always contact my uncle, and he arranges it for me."

Just as she finished, another crew member ran in, looking relieved, "It's okay, it's okay, the cruise ships and transport ship all have the Gui family shipping company's logo! And one of them has a K on it. It should be Mr. Ke Muning's ship."

Edith also relaxed, blurting out, "So it's your family's ship, is there something they want from you?"

Gui Wenxin's expression froze for a moment, but she still smiled the next second, "Is it? Maybe they want to give me a surprise."

After saying this, Gui Wenxin deeply realized something was wrong.

She couldn't help but look back at Xiao Ya.

"The ship has stopped." The crew members kept going out to check and reported back.

"They've set up a gangway."

"They're going to board our cruise ship."

"Why are they bringing so many bodyguards?"

"And... machine guns?"

With each report, the crew members' expressions became a bit stranger.

Edith's expression also slowly changed.

Everyone sensed the strangeness.

"Shouldn't we go out to greet them?" Xiao Ya spoke up.

She was eager to see her aunt.

Edith was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go, out."

Gui Wenxin moved, walking beside Edith, still composed.

They arrived on the deck.

A tall woman with short hair, wearing a black leather coat, and a gun at her waist, pushed a man in a wheelchair closer.

The woman was not wearing makeup, her eyes like the moonlight in winter, cold and piercing.

And the man's eyes were gloomy, like he had crawled out from hell.

These features were too recognizable!

Edith blurted out, "Gui Wenjun and Gui Wenyi!"

Gui Wenxin's breathing quickened a bit.

The real deal was here... she glanced at the railing beside her, judging the distance to jump into the sea.

But the next moment, Wei Wenyi's expression softened, and she gently called, "Baby."

Wei Wenjuan also smiled, "It's been a long time since I saw you, come to Uncle."

Gui Wenxin was stunned. This... was this an actor her backers hired to help her out?

Edith's subtle expression also instantly calmed down, yes, it's true, no mistake.

Just as the two of them were about to relax.

Wei Wenyi let go and walked straight to Xiao Ya, hugging her tightly, and said to Wei Wenjuan, "What do you mean come to you? You should come to Baby yourself!"
