Chapter 455 I Can't Choose
The black car sped away, and the figure reflected in the rearview mirror became blurry.
The boy who stayed where he was stared at the direction the car was leaving, as if he wanted to see the people inside the car through the distance.
He could see nothing except the car moving away.
Amid the busy traffic, Gu Zhaoye's figure stood out on the crowded road, as if there was no one else around, only the quiet road and trees on the roadside.
The wind blew up the corners of his clothes and hair, and the boy's straight back suddenly bent down. Only by hiding the expression on his face and not letting outsiders see it could he conceal the sadness surging in his heart.
The young man did not know the taste of sorrow, but the feeling of a broken heart was like a sharp blade, cutting off a piece of flesh and blood from his heart.
The car continued to move forward.
The driver glanced at her furtively through the rearview mirror.
What is meant to come will eventually come.
Jiang Zhiyue looked calm, without a trace of emotion. She met the scrutinizing eyes in the rearview mirror and said calmly, "When we get there, you'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Miss!?" The driver was so shocked that he almost stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. He never expected Jiang Zhiyue to react like this.
Jiang Zhiyue, "Lin Jun wants to arrest me. The bodyguards are the ones my brother left for me. The hospital is also heavily guarded because of the assassination. Where else can he start?"
"Even if it's not you who is bribed today, it will be someone else tomorrow."
Because she has been targeted.
Even a loyal driver is just an ordinary person who is unable to protect himself when faced with such a situation. Lin Jun is a vicious person with cruel methods, and he often threatens the lives of others' families.
Jiang Zhiyue can hide herself in an iron wall and never go out of the door, but once she comes out, she will have to accept certain consequences.
She knew clearly in her mind which aspects could be used to defeat her.
Jiang Zhiyue had been staying in the hospital, and the other party had no chance to attack. Her visit to the Sheng family gave the other party enough temptation, and the other party would definitely take action.
"Since I left my grandfather's house, the cars behind me have been following me for a long time."
As they drove along, the bodyguard car that had been protecting her had disappeared without her noticing.
"You were originally my brother's driver, and you were also responsible for protecting my brother." Jiang Zhiyue stared at the middle-aged man's eyes in the rearview mirror. Probably no one would have thought that so many unexpected changes would happen during a simple performance report when the Sheng family returned to Monte State.
Sheng Huaian was shot and fell unconscious. The morale of his men was shaken, and coupled with intimidation and inducement, it was only a matter of time before they rebelled.
More importantly, except for the independent bodyguard team, most of the staff who followed the Sheng family back to Monte State are natives of North Siri State. Their families, wives, children and the elderly are still in the Sheng family's hometown.
"Miss, I'm sorry..." The driver clenched his teeth, increased the speed of the car, and had a desperate expression, just like a crazy gambler.
He didn't dare to meet the eyes in the back seat. The young girl was unusually calm, worthy of being the child of the eldest wife. Her calm temperament in the face of danger was very much like her father Sheng who was critically ill.
If this child could return to the Sheng family earlier, perhaps the fate of the eldest branch of the family would be different. At least Sheng Huaian would not have to bear such great pressure alone.
As Sheng Huaian's driver, they, as outsiders, have understood Grandpa Sheng's favoritism and the first wife's increasing decline over the years. Until both the father and son of the first wife fell into a coma, how could there be any chance of a turnaround?
"Miss, although people die for money and birds die for food, I have followed the young master for many years. I don't ask for money or wealth. I am the same as you. I just want my family to be safe..."
The driver gritted his teeth and said calmly, "My family is far away in North Siri Province. Those people used my family to threaten me. I must take you to your destination. I don't know where the destination is, so I can only follow the route they gave me."
"I really have no other choice..."
The father and son of the Sheng family are kind to others, and Sheng Huaian does not have the temper of an old master, who would humiliate servants at the very least, or beat them up at the most. Most of the people who follow Sheng Huaian to work have been taken care of by him.
But this is the way the world is, and everyone has to make a choice.
If Jiang Zhiyue doesn't solve the big problem of Lin Jun, she will be under the threat of being stalked by this poisonous snake lurking in the dark at all times. Only she can lure Lin Jun out.
Gu Zhaoye suddenly came to find her and got into her car. Jiang Zhiyue naturally couldn't chase him away in front of the Sheng family's door. When the car passed by the Gu family's properties, this area was almost all Gu family's territory.
She was sure that if she asked Gu Zhaoye to get off the car at this time, the driver would not dare to disobey, because their target was her. In the eyes of Old Lady Sheng, Gu Zhaoye was an extra gift. It would be better if they could catch him together, but if they alerted the enemy in order to catch Gu Zhaoye, it would be a loss.
At this moment, all of Jiang Zhiyue's communication tools failed to work.
The car's satellite navigation and positioning systems have disappeared.
It was like stepping onto a small boat that was sailing to an unknown destination. Jiang Zhiyue's hair fell on her cheeks, and she brushed away the loose hair that was blocking her vision.
She was so calm that the driver was terrified. How could someone be so calm? Didn't she know what was going to happen?
In this power struggle, the first wife will inevitably be wiped out by the second wife.
What about him? Why did he send his employer's child to the fire pit when he knew what would happen? Why was he so easily bribed? Didn't he make a self-serving choice by confirming that the first house would fail?
The driver tried his best not to look at the pair of eyes in the back seat that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated as fast as he could.
The air in the car fell into dead silence until Jiang Zhiyue raised the corner of her lip very lightly and said, "You have been following your brother all these years. I heard that you have a daughter who was not feeling well a few years ago, and your brother helped pay for her medical expenses."
When the driver heard this, his breathing quickened and he turned the steering wheel but did not change the route.
He looked at Jiang Zhiyue again in panic, and finally couldn't hold back and said, "Miss, I heard from my family that North Siri State is secretly conducting a referendum. This matter has not been reported to the capital, and many of Mr. Sheng's former subordinates have participated in it..."
"Don't be surprised why people like us know the inside story. My wife works in the kitchen of the Sheng family's old house and is very familiar with the tastes of Mr. Sheng and his subordinates..."
"Servants like us are sold to them for our entire lives, just like you were in the Gu family before... It's not that I don't want to support the young master, it's just that I can't choose."
