“Steven’s smart enough that he couldn’t have deliberately lured you to his school if he’d already gotten his hands on you! Obviously, he missed, and despite using you to call Steven back from the base, he still didn’t get the oil field.”
Zachary Irwin calmly analyzed everything, he was certain that Wen Bai Ning didn’t get it, and Steven Irwin was still safe.
“Mr. Irwin is indeed a very strong opponent!” Wen Bai Ning smiled grimly, he had indeed failed.
Today, as Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin sent Steven Irwin to board the plane, he had originally arranged for someone to take advantage of the opportunity to kidnap Steven Irwin, to snatch the chip from him.
But Steven Irwin was so smart, he somehow recognized his people.
And left the plane at the last minute of takeoff.
Now, his people were all over the world looking for him, and Steven Irwin was smart enough not to contact Zachary Irwin or Jane Gardner after he left from the airport.
He had no choice, which is why he showed up on purpose and would have enticed Jane Gardner to come to school so he could hold Jane Gardner hostage for a long period of time and threaten Steven Irwin.
“Tell me, who told you all about my identity? I’d like to know, the secret I’ve been subconsciously arranging for years, even Gu Yi Ren and her family didn’t recognize me, but I was recognized by that person.”
Wen Baining was smiling, but in his smile, there was more of a creepy hostility.
Jane Gardner didn’t answer Wen Bai Ning’s question, she couldn’t possibly continue to mediate with Steven Irwin since she already knew what he was safe from.
“So, you admit that you’ve been deliberately approaching me and using me, I’m curious, how did you make Gu Yiren turn into a knife in your hand? A person like her, even if she wouldn’t listen to Zhong Jinghao’s words, why would she listen to you?”
Jane Gardner only had one last question to ask before she left.
“No matter how powerful Gu Yiren is, she is still just a woman, and being a woman, she has a common weakness – long love. The person she loved died a long time ago, it’s very simple to make her listen to me, all I need to do is to create a person she loves and weave some dreams for her, and she will be under my control.”
Wen Bai Ning raised his miserable white and slender hands, these hands of his, never just used in playing musical instruments.
With these hands of his, he was good at a lot more.
For example – hypnosis.
“You mean, before, the person who hypnotized all of us wasn’t Zhong Jinghao or Gu Yiren at all, the person who really hypnotized us was you!” Jane Gardner looked at Wen Baining’s outstretched hands.
She always felt that his hands looked a bit familiar.
She abruptly recalled that in her dream, she seemed to have seen these hands before.
At this moment, she connected the before and after, which made her realize that all along, Wen Baining had been helping Gu Yiren behind the scenes.
Zhong Jinghao’s medicine and hypnotic means were all obtained from Gu Yiren.
And Gu Yiren, although she is a pharmaceutical genius, but she is not good at hypnosis, the person who helped her, from beginning to end is Wen Bai Ning who is also in Y country.
“We know everything we want to know, let’s go!” Zachary Irwin heard Jane Gardner’s words and also remembered these hands of Wen Bai Ning, he reflexively shielded Jane Gardner tightly behind him.
“Since you’re here, why are you in a hurry to leave? Why don’t we wait for Steven Irwin, who is still in Country Y. Knowing that you’re here, he should be happy to come over and pick you up.”
Wen Bai Ning’s words fell as he stopped them.
Zachary Irwin grabbed Wen Baining’s hand and was about to push him away.
Just at this time, the end of their noses simultaneously smelled a strange fragrance, Zachary Irwin was very familiar with this fragrance, he shouted in his head that it was not good, but his body, still fell down straight.
Jane Gardner lay in Zachary Irwin’s arms, she looked at Zachary Irwin’s face and regretted.
How could they have forgotten that Gu Yiren had always had her latest perfume in her hands, and Zachary Irwin had once fallen under that perfume.
Today, once again, he fell in the same place.
“I don’t want to hurt anyone, as long as I get what I want, I’ll let you all go.” Warm Baining put away the bottle in his hand as he bent down and crouched in front of Jane Gardner.
Lifting his hand, he picked Jane Gardner up in a horizontal hug.
Zachary Irwin was unwilling, but he couldn’t move and could only let Wen Baining take her.
Jane Gardner opened her eyes again, surrounded by concrete walls.
She didn’t know where she was, but only stared burningly at Wen Baining, who was playing the piano by the wall.
“I deliberately wrote this song for you, not only does it sing well, even if you simply play the melody, it’s breathtakingly beautiful. Miss Gardner, I’m disappointed that you didn’t release this song.”
Wim Baining didn’t turn around, he knew Jane Gardner was awake.
Jane Gardner sat upright, she stared at his back closely, “Where is Zachary? I want to be with him!”
“He’s at Xiao Qing’s place, you know, Xiao Qing likes him very much, she helped me so much, I deserve to take care of her feelings.” Wen Bai Ning stopped playing, he turned around and faced Jane Gardner.
A pair of originally bright eyes looked excessively gloomy in this small space.
“I know you’re angry, you even hate me, but I have no choice, I was my parents’ only son from birth, I can’t just watch my family being devoured by another family, in order to strengthen my family, I can only think of every possible way to find more resources.”
Wen Bai Ning raised his hand to touch Jane Gardner’s face, Jane Gardner twisted her head and avoided it.
“I’m not interested in knowing about your business. I just want to know where my son and my husband are. What will you do next?” Jane Gardner’s voice was cold, and she had always remained skeptical of Wen Baining.
But time and time again, she was deceived by his acting skills.
He always acted like he was out of touch with the world, and always appeared when she needed him the most, allowing her to gradually remove her guard.
Now that she thought about it, wasn’t the reason why she had been tricked by Gu Yi Ren all because of his personal design?
“Steven Irwin is on his way over, he’ll be here in about ten minutes, and as for Zachary Irwin, Xiao Qing’s dream is to truly be loved by Zachary Irwin, so he’s definitely in Xiao Qing’s arms, and as for what Xiao Qing will do to him, I have no idea.”
Wen Baining said it word for word, speaking blandly.
Jane Gardner’s heart, however, was rolling in shock.
“How in the world did you get Xiaoqing out?”
“I have a map of your The Shine’s underground passageway, and it’s actually quite easy to rescue Xiaoqing from the lake without realizing it.” Wen Baining finished speaking and continued to speak.
“Don’t look at me with such a surprised expression, the reason why I set my sights on The Shine in the first place was only because I heard the legend that there was a vault underneath The Shine that hid a large amount of gold.
Unexpectedly, I painstakingly found the map and opened the vault, only to find that the legend’s so-called gold was nothing more than an empty tomb that Ottilia Amos had prepared for herself.”
A bitter smile spread across Wen Baining’s lips as he mentioned those pasts.
“However, the good thing is that it was me who went into the vault and realized that your grandfather had prepared a great gift so suitable for me for your offspring decades ago. I wasn’t really working for nothing.”
“Those things, they’re not yours, you’re no different from a robber if you do that!” Jane Gardner looked at Wen Baining’s regretful appearance and only felt that he had an incorrect outlook on the world and that people were despicable and shameless.
“If you want to curse, go ahead and curse, anyway, we don’t have much time left.” Wen Bai Ning didn’t mind Jane Gardner’s contempt, he got up from her bedside and sat down in front of the piano again.
