Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 405: Betrayal

Translator: Lonelytree

I raised my head and gave him a sidelong glance. I took the water and drank half a bottle. I washed the rest of my hands. My face was probably dirty too, but I couldn’t care less.

“Get in the car. I don’t know how long it will take for us to get to our destination.” I sighed in my heart.

The car started. After much difficulty, I managed to get it on the road. The old man grabbed the handrails tightly. Considering my driving skill, I could understand why.

After we got on flat ground, the old man finally asked, “Girl, where’s Jing Tian? Why isn’t he here?”

I turned to look at him. “Jing Tian was captured.”

He almost jumped up in his seat. “Captured? By whom? Where is he now? Why didn’t you go and save him? Girl, don’t you know your priorities? Why didn’t you go and save him?”

I rolled my eyes at him.

“If I knew who had captured him and where he is, do you think I won’t go save him? I wouldn’t even have time to come save you!”

He was stumped. He forgave my rudeness because he understood he was in the wrong.

“How did this happen? How come no one told me anything? I am completely lost.” He exclaimed in shock.

I was fuming silently.

He didn’t realize he was poking the bear. “Why? Why didn’t you tell me about something so big?”

I asked him, “What can you do even if we told you?”

“I can call the police!” He said righteously. I felt someone had thrown a giant brick at my head. My head pounded.

Auntie Lan looked sweet and silly, but in reality, she was incredibly clever. In comparison, this old man could be described with one word, fool!

However, he was Jing Tian’s father! But could I do but to endure him?

I took deep breaths to suppress my anger. I explained, “Jing Tian was taken hostage at the hotel with a gun. Gao Da and I lost contact with everyone. I can’t even contact my little uncle. Gao Da and I risked our lives to come to save you. Plus, we have no idea if saving you would cause Jing Tian trouble.”

The old man was dumbfounded.

I had no choice but to explain patiently, “The kidnappers knew Jing Tian’s whereabouts clearly. They came to kidnap him after he had completed the business deal. Can you tell me why?”

The old man’s brain finally worked. “Someone betrayed him?”

I suddenly pitied Jing Tian. He had this father as a burden. I felt better as an orphan.

“Who betrayed him? Gao Da?” The old man muttered to himself.

I stepped on the brake, and the old man hit his head against the headboard. I looked at him coldly. “Who just risked his life to save you?”

The old man looked at me discontentedly. “Who else can it be? It can’t be you, so it has to be him! There are only two of you working for him!”

I glared at him. “What about the people working for you?”

“What do you mean?” He looked at me with a curious expression.

I gritted my teeth. “Who else would know about Jing Tian’s whereabouts? You and Jing Ning, as well as Jing Tian’s fourth brother, caused this trouble in the first place. Who else is there? After Jing Tian finished with the deal, you and Jing Ning flew over. You were kidnapped the moment you stepped out of the airport. Do you think they kidnapped you to extort money or to claim your life? If you and Jing Tian are both dead, who will take over the Jing Family?”

The old man’s face turned paler as I spoke.

I glared at him.

He turned his gaze away and muttered, “No, it’s impossible.. It’s impossible!”
