Chapter 369: Car Chase on a Rainy Night
But before leaving, Lan Qiuru held the notebook, her eyes fixed on the box of glittering gold and diamonds, her eyes full of reluctance.
Li Beiting saw this and suddenly suggested, "To avoid any accidents along the way, I think we can take two boxes of things back with us this time. Auntie is the owner of this place, so you should make the choice."
"Really?" Lan Qiuru was pleasantly surprised and pointed casually, "Then let's go with these two boxes! I think there should be some key clues in them."
"Aunt is right." Li Beiting nodded in agreement, walked over, picked up the box full of gold and diamonds and walked towards the car.
Even though he was carrying such a heavy thing, his expression didn't change at all. Only his bulging arm muscles and veins showed that he was exerting force.
His strong back was taut and his whole body was filled with wild charm.
Jiang Yao couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Tsk tsk." I heard my mother's teasing laughter. "It seems that my future son-in-law is really good. Not only is he handsome and has a good figure, but he also knows how to please my mother-in-law!"
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched, and he turned around and said sharply, "Mom, so you admit that the box of gold is your favorite thing!"
Lan Qiuru immediately changed the subject with a guilty conscience, "Ah, I'm tired after running around all day, let's go back early!"
Jiang Yao shook his head helplessly.
On the way back, the atmosphere was no longer as solemn as at the beginning, but became quite harmonious.
The mother and daughter sat in the back seat and talked about some intimate things.
As we were chatting, it suddenly started to rain heavily outside the car window, and the rain soaked the road in the blink of an eye.
The weather changes so suddenly. Jiang Yao frowned and turned to look at his mother, only to see that her face suddenly turned pale, as if the rainy day and the road surface had brought back shadows from deep within her memory.
She began to tremble slightly all over.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yao quickly picked up the blanket beside her and covered her with it, hugging her with his body. "Are you cold?"
Lan Qiuru shook her head.
Such a scene and such weather seem to have happened countless times in dreams.
The previous second she was still talking happily with the man beside her, and the next second there were violent collisions and explosions.
“Ding ding ding—”
A shrill whistle blew in her ears, waking her from her thoughts. She wiped her face and said, "I'm fine."
Jiang Yao was a little worried, "Why don't we stop at the next intersection and rest for a while."
Before Lan Qiuru could speak, Li Beiting said, "I'm afraid not."
"What?"
"It seems like someone is chasing the car from behind, and there seems to be more than one car. We are being targeted." Li Beiting's expression was solemn.
Jiang Yao subconsciously looked back and actually saw several cars of different sizes following them, but he couldn't tell where they came from.
"Are you sure they are coming for us?" Jiang Yao asked again.
"Nine out of ten." Li Beiting gripped the steering wheel tightly. "If you believe me, I'll start speeding up and see if they can catch up."
In fact, speeding in heavy rain is very dangerous.
But neither of them hesitated and fastened their seat belts at the same time.
The next second, the car flew out like an arrow.
The three cars behind immediately followed, and the dazzling lights shone directly through the rain.
Jiang Yao glanced at the rearview mirror a few times. With her good eyesight, she could see the people in the car clearly. They were all wearing masks and hats, so her faces could not be seen clearly.
It seems that it is indeed coming towards them.
She had no time to think and could only hug her mother tightly.
The rain hit the windshield like a broken pillar. The wipers swung at the fastest speed, but still couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the heavy rain.
At this moment, Li Beiting started to speed up again, and the pointer on the dashboard rushed towards the red zone.
A construction roadblock suddenly appeared ahead, but Li Beiting did not slow down.
At the last moment, he swerved and the car narrowly avoided the edge of the roadblock.
The chasing cars behind had no time to turn around. One car hit the roadblock and slid out more than ten meters before finally stopping completely and being unable to continue the pursuit.
The other car braked suddenly, but the car body kept skidding, and finally the rear end of the car swung hard towards its companion. The sound of metal collision was drowned out by the sound of rain.
But the crisis did not end there.
Because the last Chevy is still hot on our heels.
Li Beiting was not panicked. Instead, he deliberately slowed down the car and slammed on the brakes the moment the other party approached.
The pursuing car suddenly overtook him and he immediately did a tailspin, with the rear end of the car sweeping across the opponent's front wheel.
The slippery road surface caused the Chevrolet to spin like a top, eventually crashing through the guardrail in front and crashing into the lake on the side of the road.
Jiang Yao looked through the rearview mirror and saw the pursuit car finally disappear, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, are you okay?" She looked at her mother worriedly.
Lan Qiuru's expression eased a little. After what happened just now, she calmed down.
"Could those people just now be coming for me?" Lan Qiuru had some doubts in her heart.
After all, they had just returned to South City and had no time to start an investigation, but they happened to be chased by a car.
Maybe her identity has been doubted.
"Mom, don't think too much. Maybe someone doesn't like me or Li Beiting. We have many external enemies." While Jiang Yao comforted his mother, he was also full of doubts in his heart.
"I will protect you no matter what."
Lan Qiuru patted her daughter's head with some relief, "Silly child, your safety comes first. It's your mother who protects you."
The mother and daughter hugged each other and gave each other warmth.
The three of them finally returned to Kyoto safely.
Li Beiting started investigating clues as soon as he returned.
Jiang Yao was worried about Lan Qiuru, so he asked her to stay at home for a while. It happened that her grandparents missed their daughter, so the family gathered together and shared with each other what had happened over the years. It seemed that there were endless topics to talk about.
The next day, they returned to the lab to work on the project together.
After spending some time together, the two sides reached a plan for long-term cooperation. Lan Qiuru even directly invested in the laboratory and became the person with the most say in the entire laboratory except Jiang Yao.
So when a visitor came to her house, the assistant found her and said, "There's a Mr. An who says he's an acquaintance of yours and wants to discuss cooperation with you."
Lan Qiuru's eyelids twitched, and she had a guess in her mind, "I know."
After she finished speaking, she put down the documents in her hand, stood up and walked to the reception room. When she pushed the door open, she saw An Heng, dressed neatly in a suit.
She frowned. Last time, she thought she had made it clear enough that there should be no intersection between the two of them. She didn't expect that he would come to see her again.
"Mr. An."
"Qiuru, I'm sorry about what happened last time. My mother and I have caused you trouble. Today I'm here to discuss serious matters. I wonder if we can sit down and talk in detail."
