Chapter 863 Survival in Danger
Was it deliberately targeted at them?
Why did a shooting occur as soon as they checked in?
Bo Jinyan's expression was very serious: "Someone must have known we were living here all along. These people came for us."
The man whispered to Sang Ruo until the gunshots outside the window completely disappeared. After about ten minutes of silence, Bo Jinyan cautiously peeked out and found that all the men in black had disappeared. Only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright, Xiaoruo, they're gone."
Only then did Sang Ruo dare to relax. She stood up and asked with lingering fear, "Ayan, why do we encounter shootings as soon as we arrive in New York?"
Especially just now, a bullet grazed past her ear. If she hadn't dodged in time, she would have been shot in the head by those people today.
That's terrifying.
“Our itinerary must have been leaked.” Bo Jinyan’s face was gloomy and dark, with a hint of impending storm. “Otherwise, we would have just settled down here, and those people would have already laid an ambush. It was obviously planned in advance.”
It's impossible to time things so precisely without having planned it in advance.
They even knew where they lived, so they were clearly well-prepared.
At this point, Sang Ruo's doubts deepened: "Our itinerary should not have been known to anyone except Nan Chu and her family and friends. Moreover, the people who picked us up at the airport were also arranged by Nan Chu. After we got off the plane, apart from contacting Nan Chu's people, no one noticed us at all."
How did they know our whereabouts?
Unless Nan Chu leaked their itinerary.
But that's impossible. Nan Chu is their business partner, friend, and one of their own. What reason would she have to harm them?
“I feel the problem isn’t with us, but with Nan Chu.” Bo Jinyan was very suspicious: “Think about it, very few people knew we came to New York, so how did they find out? Unless there’s a mole among her people.”
Without an inside traitor, such meticulousness would not have been possible.
Thinking of this, Bo Jinyan couldn't help but take out his phone and call Lu Nanchu: "Hey, Nanchu, are you back in New York?"
"I'm back." Lu Nanchu's voice carried a hint of doubt: "I was back in New York long before you came. What's wrong?"
Is there something you need?
Upon hearing this, a chill ran through Bo Jinyan's eyes: "Xiao Ruo and I had just returned to our home in New York when we woke up to find ourselves in a shooting. Xiao Ruo was almost shot in the head by those people!"
"Nan Chu, I'm asking you, besides yourself, who else knew about my trip to New York with Xiao Ruo? And who did you tell?"
My cousin's wife was almost shot in the head?
"How could this happen?" Lu Nanchu was also surprised when he heard this: "Cousin, apart from a few of my confidants and my father, no one else knew about your itinerary."
After all, one of their purposes in coming to the United States was to develop Lu's Bank's payment and settlement system.
Since it concerns the development of Lu's Bank, how could she easily reveal their whereabouts to others?
That's impossible!
But if it wasn't her, then who else would know that they came to America?
Bo Jinyan's brows furrowed: "That means there's a traitor among you, or rather, someone among your people wants Xiao Ruo dead, because I can clearly sense that this group is after Xiao Ruo, not just me!"
If this group of people were after him, they should have ambushed him around the master bedroom, not near the living room windows where Xiaoruo was.
Therefore, this group of people had a very clear goal: they were after Xiao Ruo.
It's only because Xiaoruo has learned her lesson from so many losses that she's become more astute and hasn't been shot in the head.
They barely escaped a disaster.
But that doesn't mean that group of people will give up easily. If they don't succeed this time, there might be a next time.
The thought that Sang Ruo's safety was never guaranteed filled Bo Jinyan with anxiety and depression.
However, because this was not their home turf, they appeared somewhat passive.
"Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely help you find the real culprit behind this!" Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lu Nanchu assured him, "In addition, I will send another group of people to be responsible for your safety."
"By the way, cousin, there's one more thing. Since your wife has been murdered, it means your home in New York is no longer safe. You'd better find another place to live. Don't stay in a big house like a villa. Find a luxury apartment; it's safer than any villa."
The difference between New York and China is that in China, villas are the most luxurious type of residence, but in New York's various residential areas, the safety of luxury apartments is always greater than that of villas.
This is very different from the situation in China.
Different cultures have different customs and traditions, and people need to adapt gradually.
Bo Jinyan had already planned to move: "Okay, I have a penthouse near Central Park in Manhattan, I'll move there, but..."
"This time, you absolutely mustn't leak this out again, you hear me?"
Xiao Ruo managed to dodge it once, but can she dodge it a second time? Will she be so lucky next time?
At this thought, a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.
"I heard you." Lu Nanchu's tone was somewhat apologetic: "I'm sorry, cousin. This was my oversight. I will investigate this matter as soon as possible. Goodbye."
As soon as Bo Jinyan hung up the phone and put it away, Sang Ruo immediately asked, "How did it go? Was there a mole among the people on Nan Chu's side?"
“It should be.” Bo Jinyan frowned, his tone somewhat serious: “Nan Chu said she will investigate this matter thoroughly.”
Sang Ruo frowned: "Most of the people who know our whereabouts are probably Nan Chu's confidants, right? So their positions must be quite high. I think if we want to find the mole, we should start by investigating from within the company."
"you mean?"
"There must be members of the Xu family on the board of directors of Lu's Bank. Now that our relationship with them is so strained, they will inevitably seek revenge."
Of course, this is just one of Sang Ruo's guesses.
We'll have to wait for the results of the investigation in Nanchu to find out the specifics.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan seemed to understand her implication and narrowed his eyes: "You mean, this matter is very likely related to the Xu family?"
Is it my uncle's family?
After all, my uncle's family immigrated early and has some achievements and roots in the United States. If those people were really brought by my uncle, then does my uncle want to kill Xiaoruo?
Why?
He's the one who offended them, so why are they targeting Xiaoruo?
