As Xiao Qi left the Xiao family home, she saw a minivan parked outside. The rear window of the minivan rolled down, and Xiao Qi looked over and saw Wen Lu's pure and innocent face.
He was somewhat surprised, wondering why Wen Lu would be here.
"Wen Lu, what... what are you doing here?"
Xiao Qi walked to the car with some surprise, his scarlet eyes showing a hint of joy, but the murderous aura around him was still very strong and could not be dissipated in a short time.
Wen Lu turned her head to look at Xiao Qi, then said coldly to Xiao Qi, "Get in the car, it's getting late, we should go back to school."
Wen Lu had been waiting for Xiao Qi for some time. During dinner that evening, a casual remark by Qian Lailai caught Wen Lu's attention. She moved her fingers and investigated Xiao Qi's situation, only to find out that so many things had happened to Xiao Qi in the past year and a half.
Xiao Qi got into the car, and it drove away immediately.
Once the car was on the main road, Xiao Qi slowly spoke, looking at Wen Lu with a blank expression. He didn't think it was a surprise that Wen Lu was here.
"Have you been waiting for me here for a long time?"
"Yes, it has been a while. Qian Lailai said you might have a bloody disaster, so I came out to see what kind of bloody disaster it would be."
Just as Wen Lu was speaking, she caught a glimpse of an infrared beam out of the corner of her eye. She reacted quickly, pulling Xiao Qi under the seat and shouting at Sun Xin.
"Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right..."
As soon as Wen Lu finished speaking, Sun Xin turned the steering wheel all the way to the right as Wen Lu had instructed. Wen Lu heard a bullet whizz past her ear, and a car behind her crashed straight into the rear of her car.
Having narrowly escaped disaster, Wen Lu sighed helplessly. It seemed that Xiao Qi had really run into big trouble, and this matter was also related to the Xiao family.
Startled by the sudden incident, Xiao Qi hid in the gap between the car seats. He looked up at Wen Lu, who pressed Xiao Qi down with her hand to make sure she was in a safe place.
At this moment, Sun Xin was on high alert. He heard the sound of bullets shattering the car window and flying in, but he didn't know which direction the bullets came from.
"Hey, do you even know how to drive? Don't think that just because your car is expensive you can drive like a tyrant on the streets."
I could hear the shouts and curses from the car behind me, coming through the window. The voices were urgent and merciless.
Wen Lu turned his gaze away from the back of the car, patted Xiao Qi who he had pressed down on the seat, and then said to Sun Xin, "The danger has passed. Go and deal with the rear-end collision outside. Pay more compensation. This was indeed our fault."
As she spoke, Wen Lu looked again in the direction from which the bullet had come, but the infrared beam had already disappeared.
Wen Lu deliberately let Sun Xin swerve, causing the cars behind to crash into them. If it were just their car, those people definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity.
But a chain-reaction collision is a different story. There are many people here, and even if that killer is daring, he wouldn't dare to make any more rash moves.
Upon hearing Wen Lu's words, Sun Xin glanced at Wen Lu and immediately got out of the car to calm the furious emotions of the car accident victims outside.
Inside the car, Xiao Qi looked at Wen Lu with a pale face. At this moment, his complexion was not much better than Wen Lu's sickly complexion, and he seemed to be in a daze.
Wen Lu raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi instantly snapped back to reality and realized what had just happened. He looked at Wen Lu in horror.
"What was bound to happen has finally happened."
Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Wen Lu's originally cold eyes darkened even more. She hadn't expected that Xiao Qi would have such trouble.
Wen Lu frowned and looked at Xiao Qi for a while. Suddenly, she didn't dare to take Xiao Qi back to school.
If we bring Xiao Qi back to school, not only will Xiao Qi be in danger, but her classmates will also be in danger.
Wen Lu raised her hand and rubbed her aching temples. She sighed softly. She didn't know why she had saved him. Her momentary soft-heartedness had only brought her trouble.
The problem isn't major, but it's quite tricky.
“I’ll take you back to the Xiao family. Right now, the Xiao family is the only safe place for you.”
"I won't go back to the Xiao family. I can go back to the capital. The capital is safer than here, and that person can protect me!"
Xiao Qi was surprised that Wen Lu wanted to send him back to the Xiao family. He couldn't understand Wen Lu's thoughts for a moment, but returning to the Xiao family was impossible. He would rather die than leave the Xiao family.
QQ QQ QQ...
Just then, there were three knocks on the car window. Wen Lu looked out the window and saw a familiar figure. She was a little surprised. Shouldn't Gu Yao have gone back? Why was she still here?
Wen Lu lowered the car window and looked at Gu Yao standing outside the car with surprise, her brows furrowing slightly.
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going back?
Hearing Wen Lu's words, Gu Yao raised an eyebrow and smiled at Wen Lu, "I think this place is quite interesting. I plan to rest here for a while before going back. I'm in a bad mood anyway, so I'll take this opportunity to clear my head."
As she spoke, Gu Yao noticed the bullet hole in the other side of the car window. She narrowed her eyes slightly and became serious.
"Are you being chased? By someone from Mufeng Pavilion? Because of that shipment?"
This was the only possibility Gu Yao could think of. She couldn't imagine what kind of trouble such a young girl could cause. But then again, the matter of Mufeng Pavilion was indeed a big problem.
"It wasn't me who caused this trouble, it was him. That person has probably been stalking him for a long time, and this time he's decided to kill him. Do you have any way to help?"
"Please help investigate why someone wanted to kill him. Also, I hope you can help me ensure his safety. He's not fit to go back to school right now, and I can't take him with me. I'd like to entrust him to you."
At this moment, Gu Yao was one of the few people she could trust. She didn't know who else she could turn to besides Gu Yao to handle this matter.
Wang Jinyu is currently dealing with matters concerning Mufeng Pavilion, and he cannot send Xiao Qi to Wang Jinyu, lest he cause him trouble.
"I don't need anyone's protection. I'll handle this myself, I..."
"Shut up! Do you know who your enemy is? Do you know who wants to kill you? You know nothing and yet you confidently claim you can do it. Do you even know what kind of sniper rifle was that just aimed at you? If it weren't for me, you would be a corpse now. And you still have the nerve to say you can do it?"
"Just behave yourself. Let her arrange a place for you, and you can study at home. Until those issues are resolved, you are not allowed to move around freely."
Wen Lu leaned her head back against the car seat and let out a long sigh. She felt so tired. These troubles just kept coming one after another, not giving her a moment of peace.
