Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 304

Ye Huining, however, wasn’t fazed. "What if I offer you twenty million to bring my son back safely? Would that change your mind?"

Lou Yuejue sneered, crossing his arms. "Auntie, are you joking? You think a measly twenty million is enough to buy my sister’s time? You really underestimate her."

Qiao Chuchu immediately marched up to Ye Huining. "Wire transfer or cash?"

Lou Yuejue: "?"

He quickly changed his tune. "We should draft a contract—voluntary donation terms—to save everyone time."

Ye Huining: "? Wow, you flip-flop fast. No wonder you and Qiao Chuchu get along so well."

Lou Yuejue smugly lifted his chin. "Of course. As her little brother, I’ll always back her up unconditionally."

Ye Huining pulled a contract from her car. "I already had this prepared."

Qiao Chuchu was stunned. "You were dead set on hiring me, huh?"

"Not exactly. I had my assistant print it just now. I didn’t expect you to turn down a few Hermès crocodile bags and five million in cash."

Ye Huining handed her the contract. "Then I thought, if ten million wasn’t enough, doubling it might do the trick."

Qiao Chuchu: "...And if I still refuse?"

Ye Huining smirked. "I’ll keep raising the price."

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

She bent down to whisper to Lou Yuejue, wincing. "Damn it, I think I lowballed myself."

Lou Yuejue whispered back, "It’s fine, sis. We can still back out. At worst, we’ll look unethical, but ethics don’t pay the bills."

Qiao Chuchu: "? You just said money couldn’t buy my time."

Lou Yuejue grinned, tilting his head. "I’m your yes-man. If you like money, I’ll like money too. I’ll always have your back."

He glanced at Ye Huining. "This auntie doesn’t seem too bright. We could probably squeeze more out of her. Want me to negotiate?"

Qiao Chuchu sighed. "...No, I don’t want to corrupt a kid."

Lou Yuejue looked around. "Kid? What kid?"

Qiao Chuchu’s eye twitched. Standing up, she said to Ye Huining, "Fine, I’ll take the job. Where’s your son?"

Ye Huining perked up. "There’s an amusement park on the outskirts of the sixth ring road! He’s there!"

---

Qiao Chuchu and Lou Yuejue stood before the amusement park, staring up at its peeling paint and worn-out facade.

It was 9 PM.

While ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‍most amusement parks would be closed by now, eerie lights flickered inside.

A drowsy security guard nodded off in front of a TV, mouth agape.

Beyond the entrance, broken-down rides glittered under garish lights.

A rabbit statue at the gate grinned at them with bulging eyes, clutching something red in its paws.

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

Lou Yuejue: "..."

Ye Huining’s voice crackled through their earpieces, sounding even more nervous than they were. "This is the amusement park run by my son’s so-called ‘mother.’ I looked into it—this place gets zero visitors all year. It’s a family heirloom, apparently. They don’t make any money, don’t maintain the rides, and today’s their last day open before they move back to the countryside. This is your best chance to get close to my son."

Qiao Chuchu pressed her earpiece, exasperated. "Why aren’t you coming yourself?"

Ye Huining’s voice was pained. "I’ve been blacklisted."

Qiao Chuchu: "? This dump has a blacklist? The whole place should be blacklisted! And where’s the ticket booth anyway?"

Ye Huining groaned. "Look to your left."

Qiao Chuchu turned and saw a sign with Ye Huining’s photo plastered on it.

[No entry for weird women and dogs!]

?

Ye Huining sobbed from her luxury car. "My son printed that himself! In his eyes, I’m on the same level as a dog!"

Qiao Chuchu sighed and grabbed Lou Yuejue’s hand. "Let’s go."

Lou Yuejue blinked in surprise at their intertwined fingers.

His usual scowl melted into a delighted grin as he squeezed her hand back.

Shen Zhuoyan wasn’t with them—Pei Yuan had called him away for an urgent meeting.

But Lou Yuejue’s ten bodyguards lurked nearby.

He shot them a look, signaling them to keep their distance, then happily strolled into the amusement park with Qiao Chuchu.

Ye Huining monitored them via drone. "My son’s technically the heir to this place, so play along when you get in. Don’t raise suspicion—I’ve sent too many people after him, and now he knows when someone’s up to no good."

Qiao Chuchu nodded. "Got it. Lure him in like prey. Just keep playing until he takes the bait."

That said...

She eyed the decrepit park with disdain.

What was there to even enjoy here?

Lou Yuejue pointed at a rickety roller coaster. "Sis! Let’s ride that!"

Qiao Chuchu paled, about to protest its safety, but Lou Yuejue dragged her over.

The ride operator didn’t even look up from his drama. "A hundred per person per ride."

Qiao Chuchu’s jaw dropped. "A hundred for this death trap?!"

A cheerful "ding!" sounded beside her.

The familiar voice of a payment notification chirped: "WeChat payment received—two hundred yuan."

She turned in shock.

Lou Yuejue waved his phone, beaming. "Two hundred’s cheap! My treat!"

Qiao Chuchu: "?"
