Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The King’s Return (28)
Chuzheng consumed the goods alone, and before she even disembarked from the cruise, several groups of people came looking for her.
Their general intent was to persuade her to part with some of it.
They used threats and enticements of interest.
Any approach they could think of, these people tried to secure a share of the goods from her hands.
Chuzheng had no intention of doing business and firmly rejected all offers.
Making money was out of the question.
Thus, as soon as she disembarked from the cruise, she was ambushed.
The attackers were clearly well-prepared.
The cars following them couldn’t be shaken off, clinging closely as the bodyguards showcased their car-chase skills.
“Miss Sheng, once we’re out, we run for our lives. Life really is thrilling,” Jiang Ye said with a gun in hand, still in the mood for jokes.
Chuzheng’s fingers rested on the window, the wind weaving through them.
“Bang!”
In the rearview mirror, two cars collided and exploded, flames soared to the sky, blocking the chasing cars behind them.
Chuzheng closed the window with an icy expression.
A bunch of bastards, scared my Good Person Card away.
She picked up where Jiang Ye left off: “Not thrilling anymore.”
Jiang Ye: “…”
–
The car headed towards the city center.
The night scene quickly receded, forming streaks of light.
Crack——
Ahead, a car suddenly appeared, blocking their path in the middle of the road.
“My men,” Jiang Ye said.
Jiang Ye pushed open the car door to get out, and when Chen Jiu saw him, he also quickly got out and ran over.
“Master Jiang, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Chen Jiu glanced at Chuzheng’s convoy and said, “Hei Jin has issued the order—whether dead or alive, they have to capture you. Have you fallen out with Master Liu?”
It wasn’t a fallout…
There weren’t any negotiations in the first place.
I was framed.
Jiang Ye’s lips curled up: “So eager.”
“Master Jiang…” Chen Jiu was very worried.
“It’s alright, don’t I look fine?” Jiang Ye casually patted Chen Jiu’s shoulder: “As long as the green hills are there, one needn’t worry about firewood.”
Chen Jiu: “…”
“Master Jiang!” Chen Jiu suddenly saw something and lunged at Jiang Ye.
Bang——
Crash——
Bullets penetrated the car window, and as glass shattered, a series of bullets streamed in.
Chen Jiu pushed Jiang Ye into the car, started the car, performed a drift, and hurried towards Chuzheng’s direction.
Chuzheng’s cars had already begun to retreat.
At first, Jiang Ye could still see Chuzheng’s car, but after a few turns, her car was out of sight.
–
Having lost her Good Person Card, Chuzheng shook off her pursuers and returned to the manor in a fury—then promptly fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already the next afternoon.
Chuzheng went downstairs to have lunch and deal with the messages on her phone.
Somehow, people got her number and sent a bunch of nonsensical messages, which Chuzheng deleted.
There was a message from a strange number, with just two words—”Stay safe.”
Chuzheng put down her phone expressionlessly.
“Butler Gao.”
