Chapter 87
night
Joe was also awakened by a burst of intense gunfire.
Almost subconsciously, she pulled out a black pistol from under her pillow and hid under the window.
A bullet penetrated the glass and lodged itself in the closet next to her bed.
If she had reacted a little slower, the bullet would have pierced her solar plexus and killed her instantly, right here.
My heart was beating violently, as if it would jump out of my chest in the next second.
She slowly poked her head out and glanced at the building opposite.
Then he suddenly lowered his body, remembered the position he had just seen, stretched out his hand, and pulled the trigger.
Bang--
The shot had missed, she knew.
But the other party obviously did not intend to stay here for a long time and chose to withdraw directly.
After confirming that he was temporarily safe, Joe slowly walked outside.
But when she passed by the wardrobe, she caught a glimpse of the note on it out of the corner of her eye.
“Do you think you're safe?”
Among them, the word "safe" was just penetrated by the bullet, leaving a big hole.
The meaning is unknown.
She stood up and tore off the paper.
Then he rubbed his hair and walked outside.
The noise just now also woke Shang Yiran up.
Seeing what she was holding, she walked towards her.
The words above made both of them silent.
But Joe didn't really care about this.
She tore up the paper and threw it into the trash can.
"It's a rotten luck, isn't it?" she said.
"Do you know who did this?"
Qiao also smiled, "Now, besides Qiao Yang, who else can do such a thing? It's nothing more than wanting me to give up now..."
Before she could finish her words, her body reacted faster than she did.
He pushed Shang Yiran to the ground in an instant.
Another bullet passed through the window and hit the wall behind them.
At this moment, cold sweat broke out on the backs of both of them.
Shang Yiran swallowed hard, his words becoming incoherent. "Are you sure you don't want to... don't want to resolve this matter completely..."
Qiao Ye's face also looked very ugly.
She didn't expect that Qiao Yang would actually chase after her.
She walked to the cabinet, found a piece of paper, and stuffed it into Shang Yiran's arms.
"Don't worry, I won't let him leave here alive."
After saying that, without waiting for Shang Yiran to speak, Qiao opened the door and walked out.
She didn't take the elevator, but went straight out of the emergency exit.
The other party has now guessed that she is not in the room.
So Shang Yiran is safe now.
It is early morning now, and the other party is using a silenced gun, so it has not caused much sensation for the time being.
The underground garage has direct access to the building opposite.
Before she even went up, the place was already empty.
It seems that they receive messages quite quickly.
But doing this too many times would make her feel bored, and she had to deal with tonight's matter as soon as possible.
She was standing in the dark and was about to make a phone call when she heard two burly men approaching from a distance.
With their upper bodies naked, you can see that their upper bodies are covered with black tattoos, which looks very scary.
"I didn't expect that woman to run so fast."
"We've already finished our business, so let's not talk about it anymore. It won't benefit either you or me."
"Has that group of people left?"
"Leave."
"Then what are you afraid of? There's nothing to be afraid of." One of the men sneered, as if he didn't care at all.
"...I'm afraid that person will come to settle the score later," said his accomplice.
"Can they still kill you?"
"That's hard to say."
“…That’s a bit troublesome.”
"Don't worry, even if the higher-ups blame us, it's not our fault."
"You're right."
The two people walked farther and farther away until their figures disappeared, and then Qiao walked out from the side.
She looked thoughtfully in the direction they had left.
Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.
The phone rang for a long time before someone picked up.
The sound of drunkenness can be felt even through the phone.
"Hello? Who is this?"
Qiao Ye: "It's me."
These two words made the other party shudder, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him, and he immediately woke up.
"Ah, it's Joe. What do you want from me?"
"Elros, I think I may need your help."
Joe and Elros didn't have much interaction, and the relationship between the two was not that good.
If she brings it up this time, the other party will definitely find an opportunity to make her pay it back next time.
This is something that everyone among them knows tacitly.
As expected, when Elros heard her words, he laughed: "Hey, you know, I'm not good at rejecting people. You just need to tell me what to do."
"Three days from now, I want to see what happened tomorrow on the news."
One sentence silenced the other side.
"Joe, you know, this is hard."
The implication is that if there is no explosive enough news, it is impossible to publish a new article.
"Don't worry, I will provide you with explosive news." Joe smiled indifferently and said casually.
Qiao Yang’s matter can no longer be delayed.
It was obvious what happened today, it was a test from the other party, trying to test her reaction.
But this was undoubtedly a very serious provocation to her.
After returning to the room, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Shang Yiran squatting on the ground playing with the cat.
Hearing the sound, she turned around and saw that it was her. "How is it, did you catch those people?"
"No. I did hear some different things."
"Hmm? What's going on?"
"Those who oppose you in the K Chamber of Commerce are divided into two factions. One of them still wants to make money and wants to join you. The other one unconditionally supports Qiao Yang."
Shang Yiran is not a stupid person, on the contrary, she is very smart.
From her words, she got some useful information for her.
but……
"Even if they can serve me now, there's no guarantee they'll give away my hard work later."
"So, how to win people's hearts depends on you, doesn't it?" Qiao also smiled.
Hearing this, Shang Yiran sneered, "You think highly of me."
"You can't say that. I believe in you unconditionally."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Don't wait for Qiao Yang. By the time he makes his move, the opportunity will be gone."
As he spoke, Qiao also walked to the computer and turned it on.
A folder was dragged out, with only one document in it.
She opened it and showed it to her.
"You can return to the Chamber of Commerce in three days."
"Ah, so soon?"
"Haven't you been clamoring to go back for a honeymoon with your girlfriend? If this matter is resolved quickly, maybe you can even go on vacation to the Maldives during the Chinese New Year."
Her words choked Shang Yiran, leaving him speechless.
"So, the sooner you resolve the recent issues, the more time you'll have for your honeymoon." Qiao said as if it was a matter of course.
＊
After receiving Qiao Ye's call, Elros casually shook the highball glass in his hand.
Unlike Joe, he was born and raised in Michigan and his family is also in this area.
At the beginning, Joe also wanted to gain a foothold here, so he did make good friends with his family.
He had heard a little about Qiao Ye's recent movements, but he didn't expect that the fire would eventually burn him.
His childhood friends all advised him not to get involved in this matter.
After all, how could she be an ordinary person if she could take the company public in such a short period of time?
A thoughtful look flashed across Elros's blue eyes.
Holding the sexy beauty's waist with his hands.
"Next year's election is coming up. Do you think she chose this moment to take action because of this?"
Hearing this, the childhood friend was stunned for a moment. "But what does the election in Country M have to do with her? I remember that neither gang seemed to have any intention of taking action in this regard."
"No, maybe there is." Elros shook his head. "I remember that the Bureau of Investigation found a man wanted for doing business with Country Y not long ago?"
I have to say that Elros has enough strength to be able to play with Joe.
"Ah, I know this person. His surname seems to be Cheng, and he's also from China..." Before the childhood friend finished speaking, he understood what his friend meant, "You mean..."
"She might not simply be helping her friend. From what I know about her, she'd only decide to take a 99.9% risk if the profit on something reached 200%. But obviously, this one benefit isn't enough; she needs another. What do you think?"
"I've never dealt with this woman. How would I know?"
Elros leaned back on the leather sofa, looking at the red wine in front of him.
He gently patted the beauty beside him.
Everyone around tactfully stood up quietly and left.
“…”
He pulled out several newspapers from the drawer under the table, spread them out on the table one by one in chronological order, and began to read.
About fifteen minutes passed before Elros put the newspaper away.
The young man sighed slightly: "So that's how it is... She really is a lunatic."
"Huh?" My childhood friend didn't quite understand why he said that.
Elros drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, and a spicy feeling rose in his throat.
"What this woman wants is an absolute partnership with Mishiroda State. But you know, the K Chamber of Commerce has always been a stumbling block. Now that the K Chamber of Commerce's problems have been resolved, only those local tyrants remain..."
"So what you're saying is that she wants to get rid of everyone here who isn't one of ours?"
The young man snapped his fingers: "Bingo!"
He couldn't help but laugh. His once azure eyes now gleamed with a venomous light. "Since she's willing to split this cake with me, then I'm more than happy to do so. I'll take this commission."
