My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 623: Late Retribution 31
Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Late Retribution 31
Boom Boom Roar—
The car that slammed into them from behind had clearly been modified, its engine sound wasn’t right, and neither was the car’s body hardness.
Obviously, Qi Younian’s car was also prepared, the difference lay in the weight of the two cars.
At that moment, Meng Qiuyan’s phone rang; it was a call from Xi Nian.
"Scared?"
Meng Qiuyan, originally flustered and apologetic due to Qi Younian’s words, calmed down upon hearing Xi Nian’s voice.
If Xi Nian hadn’t made this call, she would have calmed down regardless because of Qi Younian’s company, it would have just taken a little more time.
She looked at Qi Younian, who was driving seriously, and hummed, "Not very scared, brother, there’s something I want to tell you."
"Hmm, what is it?"
"If this time, Qi Younian and I both make it out safely, I want to get married."
Qi Younian drove quietly, but upon hearing such explosive news, he was slightly astonished, then a pleasant curve lifted at the corners of his lips. Even because of this matter, he couldn’t let himself fall here.
Xi Nian replied with just one word, "Okay."
Then he said, "Don’t worry, have Qi Younian drive another hundred meters ahead, and you’ll be safe."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone from Xi Nian, Meng Qiuyan conveyed his words. A hundred meters, huh? A turn and they would be there.
The lives of the two were tied to the attention of countless people. Zhao Shuqin was completely flustered, she instructed people she knew to buy broadcast time on the big screens to cancel the live feed.
But unfortunately, someone else outbid her with more money.
Canceling was no longer an option.
All they could do was let everything unfold in front of thousands of viewers.
Zhao Shuqin felt weak all over. She had an intuition, an inkling that she was about to fall. She was panicked inside, not knowing whether she could survive this wave. If she couldn’t, what then?
She thought of Qin Zhen, instructed her assistant to look up his address, and rushed over in the middle of the night.
...
Bo Yan paid close attention to everything that was happening. He knew this matter would not end easily for Yuran, both were very worried about the situation of Qi Younian and Meng Qiuyan, afraid that something unforeseen would occur in the well-calculated plan.
As long as the two weren’t safe, no one could be at peace.
Yuran leaned into Bo Yan’s arms, tightly gripping his hand. Her insecurity was plainly displayed in front of Bo Yan, who took her hand in his in return, offering comfort, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen."
Some things, he knew, cannot be soothed by words, but that doesn’t stop him from comforting those who need it, over and over again.
Yuran nodded with difficulty, "If I were still Fu Yuran, this task, by rights, should have been mine.
Now that it has fallen on Qiuyan, I can’t help feeling a bit sad."
Bo Yan narrowed his eyes, regarding this matter, he didn’t express any opinion, precisely because Fu Yuran was no more, yet these people still reached out their hands, so far-reaching.
Utterly relentless.
Without a shred of shame.
...
On the big screen at Central Square, one stimulating frame after another, even more shocking than action movies, unfolded, accompanied by the gasps and astonishment of the people, transforming into waves of accusation.
The presenters broadcasting live also voiced strong condemnation. Regardless of whether it was to broaden their clout or for some other reason, the relevant departments stepped in to investigate. This matter was far from simple.
Sirens wailed past on the streets.
In Central Square, kind people waited for the innocent to return safely.
This night in the capital was destined to be extraordinary.
Qi Younian calculated the distance in his mind, fifty meters, twenty meters, ten meters... zero meters.
Bang—
From behind them, a Hummer, seemingly driven by a drunk, suddenly crashed into their business car; the business car traced an arc through the air, rolling over and striking a large tree. Its midsection caved in, the engine started smoking, and whether the people inside were alive or dead was unknown. freёweɓnovel_com
Meanwhile, Qi Younian’s car, as if out of control, executed a perfect drift and came to a steady stop.
Whoosh~~~
For some reason, the people who had watched the entire scene at Central Square actually breathed a sigh of relief for Qi Younian and Meng Qiuyan.
Qi Younian opened the car door and got out to check on the Hummer. He saw someone slumped over the steering wheel, all the airbags deployed, but he didn’t go over to the unrecognizable business car.
At that moment, the sound of police sirens filled the surroundings, and within minutes, a police car stopped beside him, and an officer got out to understand the situation from Qi Younian.
Qi Younian said he had no idea why the business car had been following him; he didn’t know if he recognized the other party or not. They would need to ascertain their identity to find out.
Qi Younian’s face was quite recognizable. It wasn’t until Meng Qiuyan got out of the car that the people at Central Square felt as if they had stumbled upon some juicy gossip; the previous tension swept away. Although still shaken, they knew the two were safe.
Seeing Meng Qiuyan walk over and take Qi Younian’s hand left many people bewildered.
Qi, the head of Ran Studio, dating Meng Qiuyan, the studio’s rising star?
Wait, that’s not the main point.
Many people began correcting their focus, looking up information on the business car with numerous car dealership employees joining the search.
This incident was shockingly unfolding before everyone’s eyes.
The crowd saw the police lead a man down from the business car; his face gaunt, cheeks hollowed, and his eyes deeply unsettling.
As he passed by Qi Younian and Meng Qiuyan, he wasn’t exactly behaving, actually sneering sinisterly at them.
The incident provoked public outrage. Since when could the aggressor be so arrogant?
Calls for severe punishment against this law-defying individual flooded the internet.
...
As the incident escalated to a fever pitch, everyone waited for an official explanation, such as the reason behind the man’s brutal actions against Qi Younian and Meng Qiuyan.
Whether driven by personal gain or at someone else’s behest, such details needed to be released to the public. After all, anybody who found themselves in such a situation would be terrified.
Elsewhere, Zhao Shuqin found Qin Zhen at a hotel. Recently, Qin Zhen occasionally inquired about the situation in London, but the people he trusted told him the business was doing well and even sent him financial reports.
He hadn’t expected the Xi enterprise operations to improve in his absence, so he thought about delaying his return. During this time, he often reflected on his relationship with Zhao Shuqin and how they should interact in the future, but the conclusion he reached was that Zhao Shuqin detested him.
Qin Zhen had not expected Zhao Shuqin to show up at his door, looking panicked and out of sorts. His eyebrows slightly furrowed as he instructed the butler to let her in.
The moment she entered, his face darkened, "Why do you look like this?"
Zhao Shuqin glared at him coldly, "I’ve caused trouble. Did you see the car accident that just happened?"
How could he have not seen?
It was the talk of the nation.
Xi Zhen’s brow twitched, "You did that?"
