Chapter 137: Thrilling
A shocking conspiracy that had been brewing for heavens knew how long.
A plan that took heavens knew how much time and energy to prepare.
A grand plan that was completely derailed by Yun Xiangxiang’s gesture.
“I apologize for the frustration caused to the ladies and gentlemen. The raffle continues! All the prizes count,” Austin recovered quickly and boomed.
Everyone’s enthusiasm rose again. After all, Yun Xiangxiang could even draw The Star of Peace. It was possible that there were some other things in there.
Although there wouldn’t be any jewelry better than The Star of Peace in there, MonRoe had countless jewelry that cost more than ten million!
Perhaps it wasn’t easy to fake the prize cards, and shuffling too much in would be noticed. Perhaps they thought that The Star of Peace alone was a big enough blow for MonRoe.
The Star of Peace was the only unexpected appearance in the whole raffle.
Even though no more episodes appeared, there were still plenty of prizes after that. Although they weren’t expensive, they were made by Percy. That changed the meaning behind them.
The launch conference ended on a good note. The episode involving The Star of Peace even provided MonRoe with some free marketing.
It was about eight o’clock at night when the banquet ended. Yun Xiangxiang and Austin said their goodbyes with a hug of courtesy.
“Yun, thank you so much for today. There will be a charity dinner the day after tomorrow. I hope that you can join us,” Austin invited Yun Xiangxiang. “I believe that a lot of people are now curious about the Oriental angel.
“Thank you, Mr. Austin. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow,” Yun Xiangxiang thought that she needed to discuss this with He Wei.
He Wei had some personal business today, so he didn’t accompany her. It was the 22nd now. New York lagged behind Beijing by thirteen hours. It was already 23rd in the country. She had to hurry home to celebrate the new year.
It was still Song Yao who picked her up. Once Yun Xiangxiang got into the car, Song Yao explained, “The young master had to attend to a last minute guest.”
“Why are you being so nervous? I won’t suspect your young master,” Yun Xiangxiang was half amused, half annoyed.
“The young master requested me to explain at all costs,” Song Yao emphasized.
Yun Xiangxiang lowered her head and chuckled. She started taking off all her accessories and putting them into the accessories box.
This set of jewelry was MonRoe’s new product of the Angel line. It was worth tens of millions of dollars. She still had to give them back tomorrow.
The car made a sudden brake. Yun Xiangxiang was thrown forward due to inertia. She didn’t crash into anything because Ai Li stopped her.
Song Yao’s usual innocent face became serious. Cold glint spread in his eyes. He glared at the car’s rear through the rear mirror.
“What’s wrong?” Yun Xiangxiang noticed that the air was different.
“Someone’s following us,” said Ai Li curtly.
Yun Xiangxiang immediately turned around to look at what was behind them. It wasn’t too late when they got to this road. However, there actually weren’t too many cars using this road.
That was why the three black vans that were stopping behind them were obvious at a glance.
“We got company, and they’re not nice,” Yun Xiangxiang’s complexion turned serious.
As one of the top ten jewelry companies, someone who could almost deal a death blow to MonRoe with just one tactic must have quite the massive power.
They designed the plan meticulously and spent countless time and energy on it. They were one step away from success until Yun Xiangxiang ruined it.
It would be hard for them to forgive and forget.
Yun Xiangxiang had guessed some of this would hapen when she made that decision. However, she couldn’t just stand aside in that situation.
She was Chinese after all. She thought that these people would only try to strike from the shadows. She only needed to keep an eye out. She would go back after a day or two.
But she didn’t expect these people to be this brazen!
The three vans behind them suddenly turned on their headlights. Song Yao reminded solemnly, “Sit tight, Miss Yun.”
The car dashed forward like a released arrow even before the last syllable was finished. Yun Xiangxiang immediately grasped the handle on the roof.
Song Yao’s speed was already so blistering that Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t settle down. However, those behind them seemed to have a few dozen motors in them.
Song Yao’s driving skills were impressive. He even managed to shake them off his tail a few times.
Yun Xiangxiang whipped out her phone and planned to call the cops, but she was stopped by Ai Li, “It’s useless, these people aren’t your everyday citizens.”
These people were extremely vicious men. Since they have decided to make a move, Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t even be able to make a call.
She had already tried it when Song Yao stopped the car earlier. The signal was completely blocked.
At this moment, an identical black van seemed to be waiting for them ahead. It drove toward them.
Song Yao turned around and made an oblique cut. He used their inertia to make a quick spin and stepped on the brakes before blazing forward without stopping.
The vans behind them still caught up not long after that and brutally crashed into them.
Heavens knew how Song Yao managed to stabilize the car. It didn’t swerve too much even after that terrible clash. The wheels only made an ear-piercing noise.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t feel too many jolts either.
Their consecutive bumps didn’t even manage to drive Song Yao onto the railings. They promptly turned around and squeezed into them.
There was also a van from their rear that sped up and crashed into them. Another one raced ahead and locked them down from the vanguard.
They had two purposes. One, force them to stop. Two, break the railings and throw them down from here.
This wasn’t a warning or vent. They were trying to take their lives!
Yun Xiangxiang felt incredulous. She was a Chinese after all, yet they still boldly tried to take her life.
Wouldn’t they worry about raising a conflict between two countries.
They were actually so fearless?
Or did they already have a way out?
Something suddenly flashed through Yun Xiangxiang’s mind. This was intentional homicide. They would probably blame it on Austin!
Even though she didn’t know what they did, Yun Xiangxiang felt that this must be the case.
Since Yun Xiangxiang needed to wear a nightgown today, she didn’t bring the phone that Song Mian had given her. She didn’t think that this kind of thing would happen.
It was at this moment. Yun Xiangxiang saw the window of the car that was beside them rolling down. A muscular arm that was holding a gun targeted her.
“Look out!” Ai Li reacted faster than her and pushed her head down.
The bullet hit the window and made a dull thud. Yun Xiangxiang whose heart was pumping furiously hit her head on the door a few times because they were in a lockdown.
She saw a gun. A real gun!
In her two lives, she didn’t think that someone could actually openly kill someone with a gun!
This wasn’t filming. This was a real murder attempt.
It was fortunate that the car’s windows were bulletproof, otherwise Yun Xiangxiang would’ve reincarnated once again.
Song Mian didn’t want Yun Xiangxiang to catch too many eyes and attract any bad publicity for her. This car may seem ordinary, but its materials weren’t.
These people immediately felt that something was off after they realized that their opponent’s car was bulletproof after they shot it.
If Yun Xiangxiang was really a simple little actress from China like their employer said, what need was there for a bulletproof vehicle?
All of them had blood on their hands. They naturally understood that this matter might be beyond what they had anticipated. However, since it had come to this, they had to see this matter through to its end.
