Chapter 119 Taking the Initiative!

Jiang Mingyue drove along the predetermined route, maintaining a constant speed, keeping pace with the following vehicles.

It's rush hour, and the roads are crowded with cars and people. At this crucial moment, whoever loses their composure first will lose.

After passing through the peak traffic section, Jiang Mingyue turned right and drove towards the East Suburb Cemetery.

The closer you get to the East Suburb Cemetery, the fewer streetlights there are, and the lighting is not as bright as in the downtown area. In addition, there are few people and cars walking on this road at night, and the surrounding environment is quiet, which may make people with a weak heart feel creepy.

The car that was following them didn't dare get too close, for fear of being discovered by Jiang Mingyue.

Those who were following her were curious about what Jiang Mingyue was doing at the cemetery so late at night. They thought it was inappropriate for residents of Huai County to worship their ancestors at night.

"Stop following her, hurry up and leave, she's spotted you!"

A warning came through the Bluetooth headset from his companion. Yuri, who was following them, dared not disbelieve it, swore, and immediately turned the car around.

This woman is fucking weird!

Yuri entered through the port city and made his way smoothly to Huai County, his disguise flawless. Where exactly did things go wrong?!

Unfortunately, Yuri was too late. He suddenly found that a thick fog had suddenly risen around him. The fog appeared too strangely, and he could not see the road ahead. He had no choice but to slow down.

Before he could finish speaking, the car was hit hard from behind, the Bluetooth headset fell off, and Yuri was caught off guard and left dizzy.

His pupils dilated, and he slammed on the brakes.

The next instant, Yuri's car slammed into a large tree by the roadside and came to a sudden stop.

The airbags deployed, instantly protecting Yuri, but he was knocked unconscious.

Jiang Mingyue rushed over from behind, pried open the deformed car door, and glanced at the unconscious man.

He was not good-looking, with dark eyebrows and a long beard, and his face was deliberately painted a waxy yellow.

The other person's appearance was disguised, but the skin on his hands gave him away.

Jiang Mingyue yanked the man out, throwing him to the ground regardless of whether he was alive or dead. With a flick of her right hand, she sucked out the weapon hidden in the man's pocket.

A short knife.

All that was left was an opened pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and nothing else.

Jiang Mingyue slapped him again, letting him sleep a little longer, before going to the car to look for something useful.

One phone screen is cracked, another shows a call in progress, the phone number is under security protection, the screen shows Bluetooth connection in progress, and there are also some driver's licenses and vehicle registrations that obviously don't belong to the person in question.

A moment later, Jiang Mingyue found a Bluetooth earphone that had fallen under the car, and there was a voice coming from the earphone.

"Yuri? Hey! Yuri, are you alright?!"

Judging from the voice, the person on the other end of the phone had a local accent and was around thirty years old.

Jiang Mingyue's eyes were filled with coldness.

She warned them in English, "You've got some nerve, daring to mess with me. Tell your boss to get rid of all your people, or I'll wipe out your Shark organization within three days! If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

After uttering those harsh words, Jiang Mingyue crushed the Bluetooth earphone, then waved away the thick fog, waiting for Yan Qian and his group to arrive.

The leopard who was in contact with Yuri looked extremely embarrassed. It must be Jiang Mingyue he was talking to!

Leopard immediately relayed Jiang Mingyue's threatening words to his superiors. Five minutes later, he received a notification ordering all his people in Huai County to withdraw.

"Just leave like this? Ignoring Yuri?"

"Think of Eric and Mammoth, they haven't returned yet. You come back first!"

"Leopard, you underestimate the power of rural Chinese women. One of your men has been captured. If you want to die, then stay there."

Leopard was dumbfounded. What was so difficult about dealing with a bunch of rural women and children from Dahuai Village?! A bunch of good-for-nothings who did nothing but eat!

Leopard was indignant, but there was nothing he could do. He immediately ordered his men to scatter on the spot and find their own way back.

Ten minutes later, Yan Qian arrived with his bodyguards, lawyer, and officers from the Huai County Traffic Police Brigade and Criminal Investigation Brigade.

When the group got out of the car, they saw that the two cars had collided. The one that hit the tree was in more serious condition, with its hood burst open and deformed.

A man whose features were clearly not Chinese lay on the ground, looking half-dead, but without bleeding.

To outsiders, the retired female celebrity was seen picking her teeth while holding a blade of grass and leaning wearily against her car door.

Jiang Mingyue looked up at them, threw away the foxtail grass, and said innocently, "I crashed the car, and the person knocked himself unconscious. I didn't hit him. But let me state in advance that I did not intentionally break the traffic rules. This person threatened my life, so I had to defend myself."

"As for the damaged public facilities, I am willing to compensate for them at their original price."

The two captains and everyone else: "..."

Yan Qian gestured for the bodyguards and lawyers to connect with the two captains, while he strode towards Jiang Mingyue, carefully examining her several times to confirm that she was unharmed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He almost had a heart attack when he received her call and listened to her explain a series of things.

Having a girlfriend who is too capable isn't good either; he can't control her.

"Mingyue, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

In front of outsiders, Yan Qian kept his distance and did not show her much intimacy.

Jiang Mingyue shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine, let's talk later, let's deal with this first."

Yan Qian understood the situation and turned to the two captains to discuss the current circumstances in detail.

A man who can solve problems is the most attractive.

Since she met Yan Qian, whenever she asked him to find a lawyer, he never blamed her. He was always there whenever she needed him and would take care of her messes without hesitation.

This is also what Jiang Mingyue admires most about Yan Qian: a man only needs to be capable and not waste time on unnecessary chatter.

In fact, Yan Qian didn't need to say anything special. Jiang Mingyue's reputation speaks for itself. She was a guest of honor at Huai County's cultural and tourism bureau, and even city leaders had to give her face.

The two team leaders, clearly distinguishing between public and private matters, quickly concluded that Jiang Mingyue bore no responsibility and that she was the one being threatened.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Mingyue left with Yan Qian, leaving the scene to be cleaned up by Yan Qian's men.

Although there were few vehicles on this road, some passing vehicles noticed the commotion, and some of them recognized Jiang Mingyue and secretly took out their phones to capture the scene.

The other party posted this incident online, spreading false rumors that Jiang Mingyue had hit someone with her car.

The buzz surrounding the celebration banquet for the variety show was still going strong when, less than an hour later, the news of Jiang Mingyue hitting someone with her car went viral and quickly climbed to the top of the trending searches.

Jiang's fans and netizens were completely baffled. How could this be? How could Sister Jiang possibly drive a car and hit someone?

But when they clicked on it, the photos of the scene showed two cars crashing together, as well as footage of Jiang Mingyue getting into her car. There were also many traffic police officers and police officers in uniform at the scene.

Jiang Mingyue's fans and casual observers do not believe that she would hit someone with her car and question the authenticity of the picture.

Of course, there were also trolls who came upon hearing the news, seized the opportunity to make a fuss and smear the matter.

[Who took this photo? One picture to start, the rest is all made up! Sister Jiang has always been one to help those in need, okay?]

Without knowing the full story, it's impossible to make a judgment. Let's wait for the official announcement.

Yes, if Sister Jiang really did hit someone with her car, there must have been a reason. Let's wait for the official announcement.

[Ginger fans, stop trying to defend yourselves, the pictures don't lie.]

[If hitting someone with a car can be covered up, then all those who evade taxes can get their jobs back, right?]

[Where did these trolls come from? Why are they jumping around again? Haven't they been proven wrong enough before?!]

I believe in Sister Jiang, we're waiting for her.

Is the person next to Sister Jiang President Yan from Jinghua Group?

Sister, you have such a keen eye! It's definitely Boss Yan!

Both Sister Jiang and President Yan looked quite serious; it was probably more than just a car accident.

[Family members, please don't panic, wait for further instructions.]

The online discussion spread rapidly, alarming Wei Lai and others, who immediately called Jiang Mingyue to inquire what had happened.

Hearing her phone ring, Yan Qian released her from his embrace, pulled away from her lips, and asked her if she wanted to answer it.

The little girl's eyes were wet with tears, and she looked so pitiful. She was nothing like the arrogant and disdainful girl who had stopped the bad guys earlier. She was as sweet and lovely as the girl next door.

Yan Qian's heart burned with desire as he looked at her, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her again.

He wished he could keep her by his side at all times, so that no foolish thing would follow her.

Jiang Mingyue hooked her left arm around Yan Qian's neck and reached for her phone with her right hand, kissing him while checking her phone messages.

"Wei Lai and the others made a phone call..."

Jiang Mingyue didn't have time to kiss him anymore. She changed her sitting position, leaning against Yan Qian, and didn't reply to everyone individually, only replying in the group chat.

"Brothers, I'm fine. The other person was following me, so I hit him with my car. I'll wait for the official response later."

"Okay, take care of yourself."

Wei Lai and the others believed in Jiang Mingyue; if she hit someone with her car, she must have had a reason.

The fact that all nine guests and the official Weibo account of the variety show remained silent this time made netizens sense something unusual.

[In the past, whenever Sister Jiang made a move or was attacked by trolls, Brother Wei and the others would always stand up for her. Why didn't they speak up for her this time?]

She hit someone with her car. Even if you're close friends... don't let it cause you to lose your job too.

If you think that way, you're underestimating the wonderful friendship between Sister Jiang and the nine guests on the variety show.

Let's stop speculating and wait for the official announcement.

The haters originally thought they could take this opportunity to attack Jiang Mingyue, thereby lowering her popularity or even ruining her career. However, to their surprise, her number of fans increased instead of decreasing.

Jiang Mingyue did not shy away from mentioning Yan Qian when she sent the message.

Yan Qian was at a loss with her. He silently told himself that he had to be more magnanimous. He quickly picked up his phone, opened Weibo, and saw a series of trending topics about her.

“Yueyue, we’ve been photographed, and someone is spreading rumors about you.”

Jiang Mingyue leaned back into his arms, "If this affects your group's stock price, I can step in to respond."

Yan Qian put away his phone and reached out to brush a stray hair from her ear. "No, Jinghua Group has investments all over the world. It won't let some trivial matters affect the stock price."

"Okay, that's good." Jiang Mingyue then sent a message to Sun Aimei, saying that she would be there soon.

The pressure fell on Huai County's Culture and Tourism Department, with netizens flocking to ask them questions, because the department's editor was always able to answer their inquiries promptly.

As expected, the Huai County Culture and Tourism Bureau's official account responded promptly, "We are already looking into the situation. Please don't worry, wait for the official announcement."

There were also some trolls spreading rumors and misinformation on the official Weibo account of Huai County Culture and Tourism Bureau.

"Jiang Mingyue hit someone with her car, and you're still proud of her?!"

Huai County Culture and Tourism Bureau immediately contacted the Traffic Police Brigade and the Criminal Investigation Brigade, urging them to issue a statement as soon as possible.

At 8 p.m., Ping An Huai County issued a notice with blue background and white text, which thanked Ms. Jiang, a kind citizen, for her help in capturing an internationally wanted Class A criminal. The notice listed a series of crimes committed by the criminal.

Following closely behind, the official Weibo accounts of Ping An Fengshi, Huai County Culture and Tourism, and Jinghua Group all reposted the announcement.

The negative reviews about Jiang Mingyue on the internet disappeared instantly.

[You haters, get out here and kneel down to apologize to Sister Jiang!]

[International fugitive! Sister Jiang is awesome!]

[Those who spread rumors about Sister Jiang, come out and apologize!]

[Waaaaah, I knew Sister Jiang would always be someone we could trust! She was the one who gave out gourd bracelets to fans on the day she left the group for her concert!]

Sister Jiang is just too well-rounded.

[Ordinary people don't have Sister Jiang's skills, so it's best not to try and fight her head-on.]

Ten minutes later, the person who spread the rumors about Jiang Mingyue posted an apology video on Weibo, claiming that he should not have made up stories based on a single picture and expressed his deep regret for the negative impact caused to Jiang Mingyue.

Huai County Old Street.

Yan Qian waited at the entrance of the folk museum, where Jiang Mingyue came to pick up Sun Aimei and her classmate.

When Master Huang saw Jiang Mingyue coming over, he took her aside to talk. “Miss Jiang, there is indeed someone secretly following the two children, but they don’t dare to make a move at the folk museum.”

Before retiring, Master Huang was a Huaiqiang Opera actor. After retiring, he worked at the Folk Museum. Despite his age, he is still very healthy and gets up early every day to go to the park to swing on the horizontal bar.

Master Huang lived in front of Shao Quan's house. Jiang Mingyue helped him once, and that's how they got to know each other.

Jiang Mingyue thanked the other party, "Thank you for your help. I will definitely pay you a visit later. I will take the two children home first."

Master Huang quickly waved his hand, "Oh, no need to be so polite. How could I stand by and watch my child be abducted by bad people? Human traffickers are rampant!"

Jiang Mingyue didn't explain much, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then led Sun Aimei and the others away.

Yan Qian and she first took Sun Aimei home, and then rushed to Dahuai Village.

After Jiang Mingyue finished her phone call with Cao Hualan, Cao Hualan immediately summoned people to start playing mahjong, leaving the gate wide open and staging a ruse of leaving the city empty.

However, those people were still bold, but Cao Hualan and the other women were not to be trifled with either. In addition, Jiang Mingyue had mentioned to the village chief some time ago the matter of preventing strangers from entering the village.

Every evening, the village chief would lead a group of middle-aged men from the village on patrols.

As luck would have it, the village chief and his group happened to bump into a suspicious-looking man at the entrance of the Sun family compound. The group rushed down and grabbed him!

Police officers from the local police station in the area where Dahuai Village is located received the report, rushed over to investigate, and took the person away.

Jiang Mingyue suggested that Cao Hualan stay at the Jinghua Capital during this period to facilitate centralized care.

Cao Hualan quickly waved her hand, "Yueyue, there's no need. The village is quite safe."

Although Sun Aimei didn't know what had happened, judging from the current situation, she knew that something big must have happened that she didn't know about.

She didn't dare to interrupt or interfere, and quietly sat to the side.

Yan Qian called Jiang Mingyue to come to the courtyard to talk.

“Mingyue, if Aunt Cao doesn’t want to go up, let her stay in the village. I’ll send more people to keep an eye on things here.”

Jiang Mingyue looked at the gourd on the courtyard wall. "I warned them, and they should withdraw their people. At least they won't come back for at least a week, unless they do something stupid."

“Yan Qian, sitting idly by and waiting to die is not my style. I used to let the sheep graze, but I don’t plan to do that anymore. I’m going to take the initiative.”

Yan Qian frowned. "You're going to Fia?"

The flight from Haicheng International Airport to Fia takes nearly five hours, and it would be extremely dangerous for her to go alone. Yan Qian was really worried about her and did not agree with the idea.

“Mingyue, I know you are very capable, but for you to go there is like throwing yourself into the tiger’s den. In fact, I think it would be more appropriate to catch the turtle in the jar.”

Jiang Mingyue turned to look at Yan Qian, knowing that he was worried about her and would not agree to let her go to Fia.

"No, that's not it. I just agree with what you said before. International gangsters colluded with the Shark organization to come to my door. They already know everything about my background, so there's no need for me to hide anything."

"I will contact Director Mao Zong and release the things I did at the Italian airport. It's time to give them a shock. If they're not afraid of death, then come over."

Hearing Jiang Mingyue say this, Yan Qian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“I support you in doing this. There is an old saying that a tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind. But if a person does not show enough strength in front of others, he will be looked down upon.”

"Mingyue, go for it. I'll support you from behind."

Without delay, Jiang Mingyue immediately called Xu Daolai and explained her purpose.

Upon hearing this, Xu Daolai immediately patted his chest and assured everyone, "Actually, the production team has always kept Teacher Jiang's footage. Since Teacher Jiang is willing to release it, we are happy to cooperate. We will edit it out immediately tomorrow morning..."

Jiang Mingyue's car was towed for repairs and wouldn't be fixed anytime soon. Yan Qian wanted to take her back to Biyue Garden, but considering that she had to accompany Sun Aimei back to the capital of Beijing, she consciously followed the rules on the way back.

Back in the capital city of Beijing, Sun Aimei finally had the chance to ask Jiang Mingyue what had happened. Jiang Mingyue didn't intend to hide it from her and took the opportunity to give her a heads-up.

Upon hearing this, Sun Aimei felt that her cousin was great and immediately gave her a thumbs up.

Jiang Mingyue smiled and ruffled Sun Aimei's hair. "Go take a shower and go to bed. You have to get up early for school tomorrow."

Sun Aimei nodded obediently, "Cousin, you should go to bed early too."

After taking a shower, Jiang Mingyue re-downloaded Weibo and tried to log in to her account. She tried the password twice, and finally succeeded on the third try.

She ignored the flooded comments in the backend, directly forwarded the announcement from Ping An Huai County, and also posted a status update.

[Jiang Mingyue]: I take responsibility for my own actions. If you have the guts, come at me. Don't bully my family.

Jiang Mingyue posted a message on Weibo in the middle of the night, which instantly went viral and became a trending topic, but the content of her post left people completely confused.

[Waaaaah, Sister Jiang is back!]

Who bullied Sister Jiang's family?! Who was it?! I'm going to tear that person apart!
