Chapter 57: Even if you pay more, it won't work

What's even more outrageous is that when Qiu Jichen got out of the car, he saw a colleague he had just met in the morning getting out from the driver's seat of the car behind him and hurriedly walked past him to talk to the driver.

Qiu Jichen didn't speak the language of the Emerald Kingdom very well, but he could still understand some simple words.

Qiu Jichen listened silently for a while and pieced together the conversation between the two.

Basically, the brakes of his translator's car failed and he accidentally hit their car.

Although it was not intentional, he will compensate the driver for his losses in full and give him some money to see if the driver is willing to settle the matter privately.

When the driver heard that he was willing to pay, his anger subsided a little and he didn't look so vicious anymore.

After some discussion, the two finally agreed on a reasonable amount.

The translator transferred the money very readily, and the driver let down his guard a little and walked aside to call someone to pick him up.

Upon seeing this, the translator quickly winked at Qiu Jichen.

Qiu Jichen pointed at himself in surprise and finally realized that something was wrong.

But he was not a fool, and the translator was obviously wary of the taxi driver.

Qiu Jichen nodded immediately and followed the translator to quietly approach the car he was driving.

When they reached both sides of the car, they looked at each other, got into the car as quickly as possible, locked it, and started the car.

The driver, who had just explained the location of the breakdown to his companions, suddenly heard the sound of a car starting. He subconsciously turned his head and saw that the target had followed the man who was behind and drove away!

After chasing for a few steps, he remembered that his car had broken down and couldn't move. He was so angry that he screamed and took out his pistol and shot at the back of their car.

Even though the car had driven a long way, the two people in the car still couldn't help but jump with fear and break out in cold sweats when they heard the gunshots behind them.

"Let me make it clear first, I will only do this kind of life-threatening thing this once. I absolutely won't do it next time, even if you pay me more!"

The translator's hands were shaking slightly as he gripped the steering wheel, and the cold sweat on his forehead had already formed a small waterfall. He felt that after this incident, his life had been shortened by several years.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Let Mr. Qiu explain the details to you in person later. Let's go to the airport first."

Worried that the rampant fraud gang would react and catch up with them, the translator drove the car at lightning speed, the wheels almost smoking, and finally rushed into the airport before nightfall.

It was not until they boarded the return flight and confirmed that they were completely safe that Qiu Jichen learned the whole story from his elderly mother.

"What did you say? When you went to inspect the mall, you met a powerful master who calculated that I was cheated by a liar and was about to be in danger, so he asked Brother Wu to drive to save me. Mom, are you sure you didn't meet a liar?"

Qiu Jichen had just finished speaking, and before Ms. Qiu on the other end of the phone could explain, Brother Wu, who was sitting next to him, interrupted and said, "Do you want to recall again how the driver chased us and beat us when we were running just now? Who encountered a scammer? Is there any suspense?"

Qiu Jichen choked, thinking about how he couldn't get through on the phone to Ms. Qiu just now, but the call went through immediately after he got on the plane. He immediately looked bitter.

In fact, he knew very well that he had fallen into someone else's trap, but he just didn't want to believe it.

Ms. Qiu was shocked when she heard what Wu Ge said: "Did they beat you? Are you injured? Is it serious?"

"No one was hurt. Thanks to you, Mr. Qiu, for reminding me that the driver had problems in advance. I crashed his car and stopped it, and then compensated him with some money to lower his guard. Only then did I succeed in taking Mr. Qiu away. When we were leaving, he got so angry that he beat us up. Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we would have both died."

Wu Ge said all this simply because he felt that he had put so much effort into rescuing the people, and even if he had no credit, he had worked hard, so he had to show off his achievements to his superiors so that he could get a stable job.

Ms. Qiu was horrified when she heard this. She vaguely remembered what Duanrao had asked her to contact the company employee who was on a business trip with Qiu Jichen, and what Qiu Jichen had said after she learned that he had just left the hotel in a taxi not long ago.

"Mr. Qiu, did you plan to travel, or did you do it on impulse?"

"We had a planned trip and the taxis were booked in advance."

"Are you sure it was arranged in advance? Then I suspect that the taxi driver who came to pick him up might also be a member of the fraud gang. Those who go after him should be careful."

The reason for asking this question is that when Duanrao was reading the reports of this transnational case, he found that Qiu Jichen was controlled almost as soon as he got out of the car.

Moreover, when the case was investigated later, it was clear that Qiu Jichen had moved to many places, but did not leave any trace.

It seemed as if he had disappeared the moment he stepped out of the hotel, and the last time he appeared was when his body was discovered.

Although it is a transnational case and is difficult to investigate, such a ridiculous investigation conclusion still attracts attention, and makes people wonder if the author just casually arranged a box lunch for him.

But when it really happened in real life, Du Anrao had to consider whether this situation occurred because the moment Qiu Jichen was picked up from the hotel, he had already stepped into the trap set for him by his online love object and could not escape.

It turned out that Duanrao's concerns were correct.

It was precisely because of her reminder that the young master of the Yayu family was able to successfully escape from the control of the fraud group with the help of the translator and avoid the tragic ending of dying in a foreign country.

Du Anrao said everything he needed to say the day before, then he and Du Yuxi went to the store that Mrs. Xi mentioned, picked out a little dress they liked, and went back.

She didn't pay much attention to the subsequent events. Qiu Jichen was abroad, and she was a small Taoist priest from a remote place, so her network of contacts was definitely not as wide as Ms. Qiu's.

If even she couldn't save Qiu Jichen, then Duanrao would be even more helpless.

Fortunately, the next morning, a counter manager in formal attire personally delivered two sets of valuable jewelry to the hotel, specifically for the Duanrao sisters.

When Duan Rao and the others saw this situation, they knew that Qiu Jichen was probably okay.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Duanraodu?"

"I am."

"Our boss asked me to give Miss Duanrao and Miss Du Yuxi each a set of jewelry as a thank you gift for their help." The counter manager had a formal smile on her face and handed the two sets of jewelry to the two people wearing gloves.

"Also, the boss has something to tell you two. The boss went to pick up the general manager early this morning and couldn't come. When she's free in two days, she will bring the general manager to thank you in person. I hope Miss Du doesn't mind."

"Your general manager is...your boss's son?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Duan Rao finally smiled, "Thank your boss for the gift on my behalf."
