But the driver was stalling for time, complaining of stomach pain one minute and saying he couldn't remember the way the next. He was waiting for his accomplices to catch up and continue to harass them.
The driver looked out the window and saw Mays stuff his two accomplices into the trunk, and then, that was it; his accomplices never came out again.
"Driver, the captain is asking you a question," Mei Si waved her hand in front of the driver's face to remind him.
Mei Si was clearly trying to give a friendly reminder, but to the driver, it sounded like she was threatening him.
The driver craned his neck to look out the window again, but the trunk was still not open.
“Turn left ahead…” The driver, outnumbered and outmatched, glanced at Mei Si’s chubby little hand and decided to give in in order to avoid getting beaten up!
The minibus sped towards the track, leaving only the car with its bumper missing, parked there all alone.
Mei Si had deformed the trunk lid of the car, and Hao Yu and Sheng Ji tried their best to open it, but they just couldn't.
Mays and his team finally arrived at the stadium five minutes before the match.
In the women's individual archery competition, Mei Si performed steadily and easily broke the world record held by H country's Choi Min-joo.
This immediately changed the expressions of the H country referee and contestant, Choi Min-joo.
Choi Min-joo suddenly felt a pang of regret. She had underestimated the Chinese people. If she had known, she shouldn't have stopped her father's plan.
Choi Min-joo: No, there's still a chance. There's still the knockout stage and the final. Just wait and see!
Besides Mays, the other teammates also performed well, and their rankings were relatively high.
However, Yu Fei, the ace of the men's group, underperformed in the competition and finished last in the rankings.
Captain Liu and Coach Li exchanged a glance, both agreeing that Yu Fei's poor performance this time was due to the car accident on the way here.
After the match, Captain Liu immediately instructed Coach Li and translator Xu to take Yu Fei to the hospital for a check-up, while he called two other translators and two coaches to come over.
Captain Liu and Coach Wang led the team back to the hotel to prepare for the opening ceremony that evening.
Mays, along with Coach Lee of the shot put team, and translators Kim and Zhao, split into three groups to figure out the routes between the competition venues and the hotels for the next few days.
Captain Liu really didn't expect the H Congress to do this. They are all from Y continent, after all. They have gone too far.
Captain Liu: We need to call the embassy in a bit and ask them to come over tonight to discuss a solution.
In the chairman's office of the Choi Group, Chairman Choi looked at the person kneeling in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Why can't you even handle such a small matter? You actually let a little girl outdo Min-joo!" Chairman Choi was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Bae Jae-joong to the ground.
If Captain Liu were here, he would definitely recognize that the person who was kicked to the ground was their driver from this morning.
"President, I was wrong!" Bae Jaejoong quickly got up, knelt down again, and said with his head down.
"Where are those two brats, Haoyu and Shengji? Have they been found?" Chairman Cui felt that beating just one of them wasn't enough, so he turned to Secretary Park and asked.
“Our people have already been to the accident site, but the car is no longer there. It will take more time to find them!” Secretary Park replied, bowing.
"Useless trash! What use are you all?" Chairman Cui looked around, grabbed an umbrella from the shelf by the door, and began to beat Bae Jaejoong mercilessly.
After venting his anger, Chairman Cui threw away the deformed umbrella, loosened his tie, and sat back down in his chair.
"Tell me! Where exactly did you go wrong?" Chairman Cui lit a cigarette and asked with a frown.
“President, we did exactly as you instructed, but…” Bae Jaejoong struggled to his feet and knelt down again.
"But what? The chairman's plan is foolproof. If you really did as the chairman instructed, how could they possibly make it to the competition?" Secretary Park glanced at Chairman Choi, looked at Bae Jaejoong, and said with a frown.
"There was a short woman who seemed to know Chinese Kung Fu. She was very skilled. As soon as she got out of the car, she struck Haoyu and Shengji with a palm strike each, and they were both sent flying! Judging from their complexions, they were clearly seriously injured," Pei Zaizhong said, gesturing as if Mei Si had pushed someone.
"Chinese Kung Fu? Have you been reading too many martial arts novels?" Secretary Park stepped forward and slapped Bae Jaejoong on the head, then glanced at Chairman Choi again before saying.
"It's true! The fact that Haoyu and Shengji haven't come back yet is the best proof! They were locked in the trunk by that woman!" Bae Jaejoong craned his neck, glared, and shouted.
"Smack!" Secretary Park slapped Bae Jaejoong on the head again.
"How much did you drink this morning? Do you even believe what you're saying?" Secretary Park glared at Bae Jaejoong, saying with exasperation.
"I don't want to believe it either, but it's true!" Bae Jaejoong said, covering his head and looking aggrieved.
Mei Si and her friends missed the opening ceremony that evening. They were actually not far from the main venue, but the streets were packed with people during the opening ceremony, and they were stuck in traffic.
After the opening ceremony, the embassy staff and Captain Liu returned to the hotel together, where they began discussing how to deal with any unforeseen circumstances in the coming days.
Xin Xiaomei knew that Mei Si had gone out today, and she was very curious, so she kept pestering Mei Si with questions.
"Xiaomei, don't ask anymore! Let Sisi get some rest. She has a competition early tomorrow morning." Wu Chunmei pulled Xin Xiaomei back, gesturing for Mei Si to go back to her room to rest.
Mei thought for a moment, then went back into the house and brought out two caramel cakes, which she gave to Xin Xiaomei and Wu Chunmei.
"This is a caramel cookie, it tastes alright."
"I knew Sister Sisi would have delicious food." Xin Xiaomei took the caramel cake, took a bite with relish, and said, shaking her head.
"Thank you! Go to sleep now!" Wu Chunmei looked at Xin Xiaomei with amusement, then turned to thank Mei Si and told her to go back to her room and rest.
“Something’s not right today. We were planning to come early this morning, but as soon as we got to the entrance, we were called to the main venue by staff from H’s side, who said there was a problem there,” Qiao Zhenhua said, frowning.
"They're being far too blatant! Do they not respect China at all?!" Zhang Jianshe slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily.
"This matter requires evidence, it's not easy to handle!"
Qu Guowei tapped the table, frowning as he spoke.
"Jianshe, calm down. Go contact other embassies and ask if they've encountered anything like this today," Qu Guowei instructed, looking up at Zhang Jianshe, who was silently turning on the ground.
"You mean..." Qiao Zhenhua somewhat understood Ambassador Qu's meaning.
"Well, let's see what other countries say!" Qu Guowei nodded and said.
