Chapter 411 Jewelry Store Robbery
She was like a lioness protecting her cubs, shielding Jiang Yao behind her, with sharp eyes and a ferocious aura that was frightening.
The feeling of being protected by one's mother was so wonderful, so wonderful that it shook Jiang Yao's heart.
"You, you are her mother?" Cheng Peilan's expression was complicated.
Xu Yueyao was even more incredulous than her: "Impossible, isn't the Jiang family's daughter already dead?"
"I'm Yaoyao's godmother. In my eyes, she's my only treasure!" Lan Qiuru said without hesitation, "Do you really think she's easy to bully? I haven't had a problem with your Xu family all these years because you raised her. Don't be so arrogant. If you anger her family, they won't care about anything and will easily crush the Xu family."
Her words were both defensive and threatening.
Cheng Peilan was actually shocked.
Xu Yueyao was very unwilling to accept this. "What? Just because the richest family can bully others? I want to buy a piece of jewelry for my mother and I have to fight with us? I don't just want to buy this one, I want to buy all the whole circle!"
Lan Qiuru was about to say something when Jiang Yao stopped her. She smiled and said, "Okay, since Miss Xu is so generous, then you can buy these jewelry! My Jiang family doesn't need them anyway."
Xu Yueyao was stunned.
How come this is different from what she imagined?
Shouldn't she give her godmother some face and compete with her?
The salesgirl at the front desk immediately smiled and said, "Miss, these sets you're looking at are all from our latest season, and they cost a total of 23 million! Would you like to pay by credit card or bank transfer?"
Xu Yueyao: "..."
In an instant, her face turned green.
She was thinking of finding a reason to refuse.
Jiang Yao smiled slyly and clapped his hands. "Come to think of it, Ms. Cheng's birthday is in two days, right? Miss Xu is so filial, specially selecting these jewels. They must be gifts for her mother! It's so rare to find someone as generous and filial as you these days. I'm so ashamed of myself!"
Her voice was loud, and she directly carried Xu Yueyao onto the platform.
If she doesn't buy it, she will be stingy and unfilial.
She knew this woman's face-conscious personality, and when things came to this point, there was no way she wouldn't compromise.
Indeed, although Xu Yueyao was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, at this time, she had no choice but to compromise and swipe the card.
Cheng Peilan looked at Jiang Yao with a complicated expression.
She didn't expect that Jiang Yao would still remember her birthday after such a long time.
Even Xu Yueyao didn't remember and never wished her well.
For a moment, she felt mixed emotions.
But just as Xu Yueyao swiped her card and was about to leave, the door outside the jewelry store was suddenly kicked open.
A group of masked robbers broke in with pistols in their hands!
"Everyone, put your heads down and squat!"
The masked robber leading the group roared, then raised his hand and fired a shot into the air.
There was a loud "bang".
It exploded like a thunderbolt.
Everyone in the store was shocked.
Then there were screams one after another.
"Shut up, everyone—"
The masked robbers began shooting again, and the deafening gunshots echoed in the enclosed space.
The glass counter shattered, and jewelry and ornaments scattered all over the floor.
The scattered glass scratched Xu Yueyao's face, who was closest to the counter. She screamed, her legs went weak with fear, and she fell to the ground.
Jiang Yao reacted in time, quickly protecting Lan Qiuru under him and hiding aside.
"Who's still screaming!" The masked robber glanced over with a vicious look.
Xu Yueyao was so scared that she shrank and burst into tears. It was Cheng Peilan who covered her mouth in time to stop her crying.
The robber snorted coldly, opened the big bag in his hand and threw it to the salesgirl, "Put all your money and jewelry in it, or I will kill you." The salesgirl was so scared that she was shaking all over, and of course she didn't dare to disobey.
At the same time, another robber pointed his gun at the customers present and shouted, "Hand over all your valuable wallets, cell phones, and jewelry!"
Under intense fear and threats, no one dared to resist.
Jiang Yao did not act rashly.
If the kidnappers had a dagger or something like that, it would not be a problem for her to deal with them with her skills.
But they have real guns in their hands!
There were also more than a dozen hostages at the scene.
She couldn't take any risks with these people.
After exchanging glances with Lan Qiuru, she tactfully handed over all the things.
But when it was Xu Yueyao's turn, she was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She tried to take off the necklace from her neck several times but failed.
This made the kidnappers lose their patience.
"What are you still hesitating about!" The kidnapper reached out and ripped off the necklace. Xu Yueyao screamed in pain, and a bloody mark was left on her neck.
The blue gem necklace fell into the hands of the kidnappers.
"Hiss, this necklace—" The kidnapper stared at the dazzling gem, his eyes brighter and brighter. "Boss, come and take a look. Is this the 'Sea Blue Star' from the previous auction? The priceless one!"
"Oh?" The leading kidnapper became interested and took it to examine it himself. "It really is! He dares to wear something worth tens of millions on his body. It seems like he has caught a fat sheep!"
For a moment, the kidnappers' eyes fell on Xu Yueyao and they reached out to grab her.
"No, no, help me--" Xu Yueyao struggled desperately. Cheng Peilan wanted to reach out to save her, but was kicked away by the kidnapper.
She covered her stomach in pain and broke out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Yao frowned, unable to bear watching it any longer, but there was nothing she could do at this moment.
Seeing that her call for help failed, Xu Yueyao's face suddenly changed, "Wait, don't catch me! There is someone here who is richer than me——"
She suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Jiang Yao. "She, she is the daughter of the richest family, Jiang, with a fortune of hundreds of billions. If you catch her, you will have more money than you can squander for the rest of your life. Go catch her, don't catch me!"
After these words were spoken, everyone present was so surprised that they no longer cared about being afraid.
Lan Qiuru was even more furious.
This bitch actually wanted to drag her daughter into the water for her own life. She is so selfish to the extreme.
When the kidnappers turned their gaze towards her, Lan Qiuru immediately stood in front of her daughter and said, "No, if you want to arrest someone, arrest me. I am..."
She was thinking that she had to protect her daughter's life even if her identity was exposed.
But the next second, Jiang Yao stopped her, took the initiative to step forward and stood up.
She was 1.7 meters tall and had a strong aura. When she looked at the kidnapper, her eyes were sharp and there was no fear in them.
This made the leading kidnapper look at him with new eyes.
"Why, Miss, you don't seem to be afraid of us?" the kidnapper asked jokingly.
"I just hope you can think carefully about whether kidnapping me will bring you more benefits or cause more trouble." Jiang Yao looked at them calmly.
