Because she didn’t want to raise an alarm, when the staff just asked Jiang Li whether she knew the boy just now, she chose to deny it and even lied that the person’s back looked like someone she knew. Jiang Li’s plan now was to tell her uncle about this and have him find someone to keep an eye on Bai Guolin. If he intended to do anything heinous, he had to pay the price. In this way, she would also be avenging the original ‘Jiang Li’ for her suffering in the novel.
When Tong Yi heard Jiang Li say she didn’t want to raise an alarm, he immediately understood her plan. “I’ll find someone to keep an eye on him. We shall see how far he’s willing to go for Jiang Ruo.”
“You’ll find someone to watch him?” Jiang Li was surprised. In her view, Tong Yi, like herself, was barely a college student. How could he hire someone to watch Bai Guolin?
Tong Yi was amused by her expression. “Jiang Xiao Li, have you forgotten about my entrepreneurial work again?”
Jiang Li shook her head. “I haven’t forgotten. Do you have connections here in the Beijing too?”
Tong Yi nodded. “Yes, so if you ever need something handled, just come to me. There’s no need to bother Third Master Feng all the time. He’s busy enough with his research to benefit humanity, don’t you think so?”
Jiang Li smiled and nodded. “Alright then. You keep an eye on him and see what he’s up to.”
Tong Yi patted his chest. “Leave it to me.”
When they returned to the lounge, they found Wen Wan still playing her game while Lin Zhao sat beside her, watching and occasionally making comments. As Jiang Li approached, Wen Wan’s game ended abruptly. She looked annoyed, but when she turned and saw Jiang Li, she immediately put her phone away and asked, “Where did you two go just now? I didn’t notice you were gone.”
Jiang Li smiled and replied, “Ran into an old acquaintance, so I went to check it out.”
Wen Wan nodded and asked, “Should we invite your old acquaintance to join us for seafood? I’ll treat you for lunch today.”
Jiang Li shook her head. “No need. We don’t have a good relationship.”
Wen Wan nodded and didn’t ask further. After that, the group left the blood donation center together.
In the car, Jiang Li recalled that Bai Guolin’s target was people with panda blood, so she couldn’t help but glance at Lin Zhao several times because he was also one of Bai Guolin’s targets.
Noticing her gaze, Lin Zhao asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Li pondered a bit and decided it would be prudent to warn Lin Zhao so he could be vigilant. After all, Bai Guolin was a complete lunatic who would do anything for Jiang Ruo.
“Do you know Jiang Ruo?” she asked back.
Lin Zhao shook his head.
It was Wen Wan who nodded and chimed in, “I do. She’s that famous fake daughter, right? She used to have chronic kidney failure and was later found to be the illegitimate daughter of yo—… of the Jiang family. Anyway, I don’t like her.”
The topic had trended on Weibo for a long time. Although Feng Yun did not mention a word about her biological daughter, anyone who had followed Jiang Li knew the story.
After getting to know Jiang Li, Wen Wan noticed she had never brought up Jiang Ruo, so Wen Wan also refrained from asking. Now that Jiang Li had mentioned her, Wen Wan was a bit surprised.
Seeing Lin Zhao’s confused expression, Wen Wan briefly recounted the whole saga about Jiang Ruo and explained that Jiang Li was the real daughter in the story.
Lin Zhao frowned, “These people are too much.”
Wen Wan immediately nodded in agreement and said indignantly, “Exactly! Especially that scumbag dad and homewrecker mom of Jiang Ruo. They’re too shameless.”
Lin Zhao looked at Jiang Li. “When you mentioned seeing an old acquaintance at the blood donation center earlier, did you mean Jiang Ruo?”
Jiang Li shook her head. “Not Jiang Ruo, but her fanatic follower, Bai Guolin. He’s the kind of person who’s willing to do anything for her. I suspect his purpose for volunteering at the blood donation center isn’t good.”
Wen Wan snapped out of her anger, curious. “What’s his purpose?”
Jiang Li explained, “Jiang Ruo is also has panda blood. Finding someone with the same blood type who matches her kidney isn’t easy.”
Wen Wan was shocked. “Are you saying he’s using his identity as a volunteer to find people with panda blood and then matching them with Jiang Ruo?”
Jiang Li nodded. “That’s what I think. And I believe Bai Guolin is capable of doing such a thing.”
Wen Wan immediately became agitated. “Then you and Lin Zhao are both in danger. You’re both panda blood!”
Jiang Li shook her head and explained, “I’m not his target, but every other panda blood besides me could be his target.”
Lin Zhao nodded. “It’s already known that Jiang Li’s kidney matches Jiang Ruo, yet no further action has been taken, which indicates reservations. Bai Guolin’s purpose in going to the blood donation center is likely to find someone else who could successfully match with Jiang Ruo.”
With Lin Zhao’s reminder, Wen Wan quickly understood the situation. “Then we should talk to the staff and explain the situation to have them kick that scumbag out.”
Jiang Li still shook her head. “We don’t have any evidence right now. At most, we could get that center to stop using him, but he could just go to another one.”
“What should we do then?” Wen Wan was at a loss for ideas.
“Lure the snake out of its hole, of course!” Tong Yi smiled. “As long as we get evidence of his attempted crimes, I can get a lawyer to send him to jail.”
Lin Zhao nodded. “I understand your intentions now. If Bai Guolin comes to me, I can act as bait.”
Wen Wan immediately shook her head. “But that’s very dangerous. I won’t agree to you doing that.”
Lin Zhao patted her hand comfortingly. “They’re after my kidney. As long as I don’t agree to donate, they can’t do anything.”
Jiang Li shook her head. “Through regular procedures, yes, but I’m worried they might resort to committing crimes. I’m telling you this to remind you to stay safe.”
Lin Zhao nodded. “I’ll find a way to protect myself.”
Tong Yi chuckled, “Don’t make the atmosphere so heavy. I’ve already sent a message to have someone monitor Bai Guolin. If he shows even the slightest abnormality, I’ll be notified. You can rest easy.”
Even so, Wen Wan was still uneasy. She looked at Lin Zhao and softly said, “Make sure you don’t act alone these days, okay?”
Lin Zhao immediately agreed. “Alright, I’ll listen to you and never act alone. Is that okay?”
Wen Wan nodded. “Yeah.”
