Chapter 207 Cooperation

Soon, Yu Bailin was thrown onto a chair by Gu Junqing, and then he was tied up again and tied to the chair.

His mouth was sealed with a long strip and he couldn't speak for the time being. He could only stare at Gu Junqing in front of him with wide eyes, and then look at Xin Chuan who appeared out of nowhere.

There was a mixture of doubt, shock and anger in his eyes.

Gu Junqing stood in front of him and waited for Yu Bailin to recover before talking to him.

Yu Bailin also reacted quickly. When he saw the two people in front of him didn't say anything but just looked at him and waited for him to calm down, his forehead twitched, and then he quickly calmed down. Since he couldn't say anything, he just looked at them.

Seeing this, Xin Chuan asked him, "Are you sure you won't call for help?" Yu Bailin, whose mouth was sealed with a long strip, nodded to indicate that he would not.

Xin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Junqing. He didn't know why he subconsciously let Gu Junqing make the decision. It might be because this guy looked very reliable.

When Gu Junqing saw Xin Chuan looking at her, she knew that Xin Chuan wanted to make the decision himself.

While Gu Junqing felt puzzled, he quickly untied the strip of paper from Yu Bailin's mouth.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Yu Bailin looked at them and asked calmly.

Gu Junqing looked at Xin Chuan and asked him to ask.

Fine.

Xin Chuan focused his attention on Yu Bailin. He did not say anything extra, but directly asked his question, tentatively asking: "Who is Lin Shanpin?"

Yu Bailin was speechless. This question was too direct. If he answered it, wouldn't it be a blatant betrayal of Lin Shanpin? At least he could make a threat so that his betrayal wouldn't seem too obvious.

Gu Junqing and Xin Chuan had no idea what Yu Bailin was thinking. If they knew, they would certainly be surprised that the handsome man in front of them did not seem to feel guilty about betraying Lin Shanpin. On the contrary, he seemed to be proactive.

Now they looked at Yu Bailin's silence, thinking that he was unwilling to speak, so they were thinking about how to get Yu Bailin to answer. Unexpectedly, the man tied to the chair in front of them answered the question they had just asked. He said:

"General Manager"

After saying this, Yu Bailin felt that what he said might not be detailed enough, so he added: "The chief steward in charge of the salt mines..."

Seeing how he answered honestly, Gu Junqing and the others were silent.

This attitude clearly indicated that the person in front of them would answer whatever they asked. This was the first time they had ever encountered someone who actively answered their questions. They were only a little uncomfortable for a moment, but then returned to normal.

Xin Chuan was still a little worried, so he asked a few more questions. Yu Bailin in front of him answered earnestly and truthfully.

Now the two of them were somewhat certain that Yu Bailin was willing to answer their questions. This made things much easier.

"And what about the salt mine you just mentioned?"

This question was asked by Gu Junqing.

Yu Bailin then turned his gaze to Gu Junqing. He hesitated for a moment at her question, as if he didn't know how to answer it. The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

Gu Junqing was still wondering if his question was taboo or if Yu Bailin didn't know the answer. Yu Bailin was thinking that he had just infiltrated the salt mine not long ago and had just started investigating, so he didn't know anything about it. He only knew that Lin Shanpin was the manager there.

Yu Bailin could only shake his head: "I don't know"

Xin Chuan, who was standing nearby, finally noticed that something was wrong with Yu Bailin. He couldn't help but smile at him and said, "Hey, I think you don't seem to like this. You just answer whatever we ask. Tell me, do you have a grudge against the people here? Do you want to use us to shield you from the limelight?"

This made sense. Gu Junqing nodded and looked at Yu Bailin with a similar expression as Xin Chuan.

How could Yu Bailin admit it? He immediately looked at the two of them with an unhappy face and said angrily:

"Since I have taken the initiative, it must be to avoid suffering these physical pains. Looking at your behavior, it is obvious that you will not give up until you achieve your goal. I have been so naive, but you actually doubt me. Don't push your luck!"

Are they pushing their luck? The two looked at each other and felt that there was nothing wrong with the questions they asked. After all, they were not fools. Yu Bailin told them the news so readily because he hoped that they would go to the salt mine to find the news themselves or that he wanted to be the oriole and reap the benefits.

Of course, they can only think about it. They will not be fooled, and they will not do anything that is risky and extremely risky.

Of course, none of the above questions are important. The most important thing is that this matter is related to Prince Qing. They must confirm it carefully and then inform the emperor of the whole matter, and let him arrange and decide what to do next.

So Gu Junqing raised his eyes and looked at Yu Bailin, who had turned his head away and seemed angry. He frowned and asked:

"So what is the relationship between the mastermind behind this series of events and the King of Qing? Do you know what he is doing now?"

Yu Bailin, who was pretending to be indifferent and angry, could no longer pretend after hearing this. He turned his head sharply and looked at the two of them, especially at Gu Junqing, with his brows furrowed. "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Prince Qing?"

Seeing that he was trying to play dumb about this matter, Xin Chuan, who was watching from the side, sneered and repeated the news they had just overheard.

Upon hearing this, Yu Bailin was initially dissatisfied that these two people were eavesdropping on his conversation with Brother Pei from somewhere, and then he hesitated whether he should say this out loud.

But speaking out would do more harm than good to me, and I really don't want to take the risk...

Before Bai Lin could think further, Gu Junqing, who was looking at him from the opposite side, knew at a glance what he was thinking. She pursed her lips and her eyes turned cold:

"Don't you even know this? I was thinking of cooperating with you to deal with this matter from inside and outside, but it seems that it is not appropriate. In this case, I am really sorry to bother you. It would be better to leave your life here to prevent future troubles." Xin Chuan had just heard it and had not yet reacted to what Gu Junqing meant by what she had just said. He was thinking about asking her.

Yu Bailin, who was tied to a chair in front of him, looked at Gu Junqing hesitantly for several times. He saw her reach into her arms and take out a dagger and put it against her throat, as if she wanted to kill him with one blow.

If you hesitate any longer, you will lose your life!

Yu Bailin swallowed his saliva, staring at Gu Junqing's wrist, and said hurriedly: "Cooperate, cooperate, I'll tell you!"
