Chapter 677: In Danger
A cold look flashed across Alice’s eyes.
“Of course, you can also find out who wants you dead the most. Start from the source and find out which type of voodoo has been cast on you. Perhaps, there is a solution.”
Hearing this, Alice’s pair of deep cat eyes suddenly narrowed, and her smile made one’s hair stand on end.
“People who want me dead? There’s really too many…”
The tip of her pink tongue brushed past the corner of her lips as she pushed the document over again.
“I choose to believe you.”
Song Yaoyao was not surprised. Alice was a smart girl; she would choose the situation that was most effective for her. Song Yaoyao believed that Alice would not stop searching for other solutions. According to the clues she gave, she would definitely send people to search for voodoo masters.
But before that, she had to protect her own life.
Her slender fingers swiped across the document, and Song Yaoyao curled her lips. “This business is a little troublesome…”
Alice’s eyes curved, “If you have any other requests, we can talk. Yoyo, I treat you as a friend.”
She looked at Song Yaoyao with a deep green gaze.
“Ah… I guess I should be honored?”
Song Yaoyao looked out of the window. The twilight had gradually swallowed up the beautiful scenery, and there were a few faint stars twinkling in the sky.
“I have one more condition, if you agree…”
“Please go ahead.”
Alice was ready to listen.
…
By the time the meal was over, the sky had completely darkened.
The dark night sky was like spilled ink, with a huge beast hidden behind it.
“Put it away first.”
Song Yaoyao handed Huo Jiu two documents.
One was the reward Alice had given her, and the other was a disclaimer that Song Yaoyao had prepared in advance.
Actually, this was not very useful. If Alice really died, it wouldn’t matter if she really had anything to do with it. Since she was the young daughter of the Lancaster family, her family would probably seek revenge anyway.
To get Alice to sign this, Song Yaoyao had other uses.
“Yoyo!”
Alice walked slowly. She lifted the hem of her skirt and caught up to Song Yaoyao.
The thick darkness enveloped her, and she looked like a fairy emerging from the forest.
“My life is in your hands…”
She bowed to Song Yaoyao carefully, giving her all of her trust.
“Sure, sure.”
The two shook hands and smiled at each other.
The game ended in Song Yaoyao’s victory.
No one knew that the two of them would become like-minded friends in the future.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Dazzling high-beam lights turned on, and a car whizzed toward them.
The light was so bright that it blinded their eyes for a moment, and they could only see a vast expanse of white.
“Miss Song!”
Huo Jiu was the first to protect Song Yaoyao. He identified the sound and relied on his instincts to avoid the collision.
Boom!
Flames soared into the sky.
“Ugh…”
Song Yaoyao’s mind snapped in an instant and she felt intense pain. The moment her tears appeared, she forcefully held them back.
“Miss Song? Are you okay?”
Huo Jiu’s voice was cold. He helped Song Yaoyao stand up and looked over with narrowed eyes.
The car had been totaled and was burning in a cloud of thick smoke.
All the bodyguards protecting Song Yaoyao stood up. Song Yaoyao wiped away her tears and looked at Alice. Her condition was much worse than Song Yaoyao’s. Her calf had been cut by a sharp fragment and was bleeding profusely.
Fortunately, her life was not in danger.
“I’m fine.”
Her voice was slightly hoarse as she replied faintly.
Huo Jiu knew that Song Yaoyao experienced magnified pain. Even before Mr. Huo had transferred him to protect Miss Song, the first thing he said was, “Don’t let her get hurt.”
