Chapter 87: Robbery
On the road, two black SUVs followed his car quietly.
Mu Xingyi was so focused on Li Qingqing that he had no idea that he was being followed.
It was not until his car was parked in the suburbs and a group of fully armed men in black suddenly rushed out of two off-road vehicles, surrounded his car, and pointed more than a dozen black gun muzzles at the car body that he realized it.
Li Qingqing was so frightened by this sudden scene that she hugged her head and shrank back. The images of the two girls who were shot in the head in the afternoon were still lingering in her mind, and now she was being pointed at by so many burly men with guns.
Mu Xingyi had not expected this scene at all, and the gun in his hand was still at his waist and had not been completely pulled out.
He had just been in Country F for two months and this was the first time he had seen such a scene.
"Get off the bus." Someone outside shouted in English.
Mu Xingyi raised his hands and got out of the car carefully.
This place is different from China. If you are not careful, you may die on the streets.
After getting out of the car, he glanced around at the group of people and found that there were no familiar faces among those surrounding him.
The leader, a burly man nearly two meters tall, held a gun to his head and gave a look to the men next to him.
The next second, Li Qingqing was dragged out of the car by two men in black with guns.
Just like that, in front of Mu Xingyi, the group of men in black took Li Qingqing away without any effort.
Li Qingqing huddled in the seat of the carriage, too frightened to move, especially since she was wearing extremely revealing clothes.
Just now, when she was struggling under Mu Xingyi, she accidentally tore the right shoulder strap. Now she could only cover her chest with both hands to try her best to prevent her clothes from slipping off.
There were four or five burly men sitting in the SUV, who looked like professional mercenaries. Fortunately, they had no intention of molesting her.
Li Qingqing was anxious for a few minutes before she finally felt relieved. But who were these people? Where were they taking her?
Just as she was daydreaming, "Bang! Bang!" two gunshots rang out past the SUV.
Li Qingqing, who had just calmed down a little, immediately became frightened again.
Several strong men in the car immediately armed themselves fully, raised their guns and pointed them out the window.
"Bang! Bang!" There were several more violent gunshots.
Li Qingqing felt that she would definitely die in the hail of gunfire tonight.
The leader who was sitting in the passenger seat took out a walkie-talkie and said something. After a while, two off-road vehicles and a modified pickup truck stopped in an abandoned park on the side of the road in a confrontation posture.
The two groups got out of the car with guns and negotiated. Li Qingqing bravely looked out the window and found that the person confronting the group of mercenaries was Lao Xia, who had just wanted to let her go in the casino.
Old Xia brought a group of people, and it seemed that they were also looking for Li Qingqing. The two groups negotiated for a while. Old Xia glanced at her and finally got in the car and left.
For some reason, Li Qingqing felt as if she was saved. Although she didn't know who these mercenaries belonged to, she knew that Lao Xia had received orders to release her.
Now the two groups are negotiating but not fighting, which shows that their goals are the same.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the car stopped by the side of a wide road.
Li Qingqing was asked to get out of the car. A man in black took her arm and brought her to a man.
The man was standing on the side of the road with his back to the street light. His face couldn't be seen clearly, but he looked familiar.
When she got closer, Li Qingqing found that the person who came to pick her up was Wei Qingming!
So these mercenaries are Wei Qingming's men?
Li Qingqing's mind was instantly filled with countless questions. Was Wei Qingming really just a small business owner selling desserts? Why did he have such great power?
Before she could come to her senses, Wei Qingming pulled her over, took a closer look, and found that she had no obvious injuries. He finally felt relieved.
Under the dim street lights, Li Qingqing's hair was disheveled and dust had touched her face. Her disheveled appearance suddenly reminded him of someone.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something else, but this feeling is getting stronger and stronger in Wei Qingming’s heart.
He stared at her face for a long time, shook his head, and sorted out his thoughts.
"Are you hurt?"
Wei Qingming took the blanket from the person next to him and put it on her.
Li Qingqing shook her head with a dull look in her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, the person next to her spoke.
"Master Wei, everyone is fine. It seems we acted just in time."
Young Master Wei? Li Qingqing had another question in her mind.
Wei Qingming nodded to the man and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest early."
As he said that, he took Li Qingqing in his arms and got into the car.
After returning to the hotel, Wei Qingming briefly explained a few things to her and let her rest.
As for whether I can still participate in the competition, I will see after I wake up tomorrow.
…
Engagement party scene.
The guests were waiting for the two protagonists to appear and began to talk about it.
Mr. Jiang had sent people to look for her several times, but Jiang Xueyao kept making excuses, saying that she was not ready yet.
If it were someone else, Mr. Jiang would have forcibly brought the person here long ago, but he couldn't touch his precious granddaughter, so he had no choice but to send the waiters out to calm the guests one by one.
The Lu family also couldn't find Lu Yan. When Lu Mingqi saw the door of the dressing room kicked open, he felt a strong sense of unease.
When asked if Lu Yan had been here before, several makeup artists and stylists were shocked and no one dared to speak.
But he searched almost every corner of the hotel and still couldn't find Lu Yan.
The two men appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall only after about one-third of the guests had left.
It’s not that the remaining people didn’t want to leave. Some of them didn’t dare to save Mr. Jiang’s face, while others simply wanted to make fun of the Jiang and Lu families.
Fortunately, in the end, the engagement party went smoothly.
On such a happy day, the elders of both families did not want to get angry, and finally ended up saying that "Jiang Xueyao was the only one who was being unreasonable."
The next day, the news that "Master Lu and Miss Jiang were both four hours late for their engagement party" still made the front page of Haicheng.
When Shen Lu saw this, he felt a pang of regret in his heart.
She didn't know about Lu Yan's breakup with Li Qingqing, but she had heard about Lu Yan and Jiang Xueyao's engagement a long time ago.
It’s just that there had been no official reports before, so she didn’t take it seriously. She didn’t expect it to be true.
I wonder how Li Qingqing would feel when she sees this.
...х
After a night's rest, Li Qingqing felt much better and insisted on participating in tomorrow's dessert competition as scheduled.
Wei Qingming didn't say anything polite to her. He brought her out to compete.
Country F holds a dessert competition every year, and pastry chefs from all over the world use this platform to improve their commercial value.
The competition is mainly aimed at creative players, and this year it will be presented in the form of global live broadcast.
Li Qingqing's creative desserts made by integrating Chinese medicinal ingredients won unanimous praise from the judges, and she ultimately won the silver medal in the competition with her outstanding performance.
Looking at Li Qingqing, who was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, Lu Yan was sincerely happy for her.
Even though she had just experienced a life-and-death moment two days before, she was able to keep her composure and participate in the competition, and even won the silver medal. Lu Yan felt that his girl had become stronger than before, and he was extremely proud of her.
But her boss standing next to her looked like a pretty boy and she just didn't like him at all.
