Chapter 253: Someone Planned to Capture Dou Xiangling to Threaten Zi Yi
Zi Yi didn’t expect to be drinking coffee with her Second Uncle for three to four hours. In the end, not only did his opinion of her change, he even asked her to look for him at school the next day.
After Zi Yi came out from the hotel, it was already three in the afternoon.
She then recalled she had planned to visit Dou Xiangling at the art gallery.
She took out her phone and gave her a call. “Cousin, where are you?”
Dou Xiangling was surprised at her question. “Yiyi, what’s up?”
Dou Xiangling then replied to her question even though she asked her that. “I’m at M.Uni. My mentor wants me to help him with a semester worth of classes and I’m currently going through the paperwork.”
“I saw you at the central square in the morning and wanted to look for you. But something suddenly cropped up.”
Dou Xiangling smiled at that. “Then are you going home anytime soon? If so, I’ll come over to hang out after I’m done with the paperwork.”
Zi Yi thought for a moment. It would just be in time for dinner if she went home now. “Okay.”
When Zi Yi reached home, Dou Xiangling had also just arrived.
They entered the courtyard and the skies were still bright at that time. Dou Xiangling asked, “Yiyi, can I look around your courtyard?”
The skies had already turned dark the previous time she visited.
Zi Yi nodded. “Sure.”
Dou Xiangling first greeted the housekeeper who came over to welcome them. “Hello.”
“Hello, Miss Dou.”
Following that, she went to check out the yard.
While Zi Yi headed inside, the housekeeper said, “Miss Zi, there were numerous express deliveries that arrived today. I’ve had them all placed in the basement.”
Zi Yi nodded in response and planned to head downstairs for a look.
The housekeeper did not follow her, and instead, went to serve Dou Xiangling.
As a qualified housekeeper, when the host’s guests arrive, he has to serve them well.
Zi Yi went downstairs and got the robot to check the deliveries. Following that, she set up programs for several robots to get them to install the equipment for the experiments, before she then went up.
At that moment, Dou Xiangling was currently in a conversation with the housekeeper, while standing at the pavilion in the backyard.
Zi Yi went over and found out that she was the topic of their conversation.
Dou Xiangling seemed to have sensed her coming and turned around to look.
The housekeeper had also turned around and said to Zi Yi with a smile, “Miss Zi, dinner will be ready soon. You and Miss Dou should go in and take a seat.”
Zi Yi nodded and the housekeeper went in the direction of the kitchen.
Dou Xiangling walked over and said with a smile, “Yiyi, I was asking what you liked to do when you’re at home. The housekeeper said that you usually spend your time modifying cars. I didn’t expect you to like racing cars so much.”
“It’s alright, I guess.”
In fact, she would not consider herself as someone who likes it. To her, without the Interstellar spaceship, those vehicles were just means of transportation. She disliked racing cars that were too slow and so, had modified them since she had nothing to do.
The two of them then headed towards the living room.
As they walked, Dou Xiangling told her about the matter where she was going to teach art at M.Uni for the next semester.
The skies had turned dark after they finished the dinner. The Dou family’s residence was not very far from here. If one didn’t take the route towards M.Uni, they could drive from the highway near Zi Yi’s villa. It would only take half an hour by car.
Zi Yi was worried about letting her leave alone. Even though those killers dared not pay a visit to her villa during this period of time, she could not guarantee they were not lurking in the vicinity in wait for an opportunity to capture someone she cared for, just to threaten her. “I’ll take you home.”
Dou Xiangling knew Zi Yi would never be willing to step into her house and so, she rejected her offer. “There’s no need. After you send me back, I’ll be worried about you and end up sending you back again.”
After she said that, Dou Xiangling laughed at herself.
Zi Yi did not plan to argue with her. She decided to secretly follow her in the dark. On the surface, she nodded in agreement.
She calculated the timing and five minutes after Dou Xiangling left, Zi Yi turned on her car and drove away.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to catch up to Dou Xiangling’s car, she saw a suspicious car tagging behind.
Zi Yi changed to auto navigation mode, took out a circular ball and threw it out. When the ball transformed into a drone, she connected her phone to all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity.
As expected, there were other cars in front.
“Heh!”
She sneered and pressed a button. Immediately after, a pair of wings extended from the car and she flew up into the skies.
The driver behind Dou Xiangling’s car was still closely monitoring the car in front when he heard a roaring sound from above.
The next second, a sports car suddenly descended from the skies and he had no time to step on the breaks.
“Shi-!”
While the driver gasped in fright, the car ahead had crashed.
When the car crashed with the racing car, it was expected for both cars to recoil. However, only their car seemed to have been shaken and directly bounced into the air, and heavily crashed onto the ground.
Bam!
The car caught on fire and the people inside had clearly lost consciousness as none of them crawled out.
Zi Yi coldly glanced at the rearview mirror and continued to drive her racing car in the skies towards Dou Xiangling’s car.
She swiftly threw a small gadget upon catching up to it.
Very soon, Dou Xiangling realized that there was something wrong with her car.
She hastily parked the car to one side and was about to alight to check the situation.
The moment she glanced up, she found a car descending from the skies.
Under Dou Xiangling’s shocked gaze, Zi Yi parked her car, stretched out her head, and greeted her with a smile. “Cousin, what a coincidence.”
“Pft!” Dou Xiangling was amused by her words. She walked over to her and said, “Why are you here?”
“I was worried about you and came over to check up on you. I didn’t expect to see your car breaking down halfway.”
Dou Xiangling was a little embarrassed. “I didn’t know my car would break down halfway either.”
Zi Yi pointed at her passenger seat. “Why don’t you stay at my house tonight? I’ll get the housekeeper to send for someone to repair your car.”
Dou Xiangling pondered for a second and nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
After which, she headed to the passenger seat.
After Dou Xiangling got in, Zi Yi kindly reminded her. “Sit tight. You might feel a little uncomfortable later.”
Dou Xiangling nodded.
When the car ascended, Dou Xiangling eyes widened in shock once again.
However, the shock only lasted for one second before the car flew out.
A few minutes later, the car was parked in the courtyard. Dou Xiangling opened the door, ran out, quickly found a trashcan to throw up.
The housekeeper came over and Zi Yi said, “Please send someone to repair my cousin’s car. It’s ten kilometers away from here.”
The housekeeper calmly checked over Zi Yi, then at Dou Xiangling who was still puking at one side. He seemed to have thought of something and said, “I understand, Miss Zi.”
Having said that, he immediately sent out a few people.
“Please help me take care of my cousin. I have something important to do.”
Following that, Zi Yi headed to the computer room upstairs.
Since those people dared to have bad intentions towards her cousin, then they can’t blame her for retaliating.
