Chapter 261 Want to Rest
As soon as the time came, Xu Youyou rushed to the airport.
However, when they were halfway through the drive, two cars collided on the road ahead and they were forced to stop.
When Xu Youyou looked at this scene, her eyelids twitched immediately. She felt that this was something unusual.
Sure enough, a moment later, a group of people came in front and behind their convoy.
"Ms. Xu, I'm not an unreasonable person. You can keep the treasure that I like, and you guys can leave." Mr. Crow said with a smile.
The road where Xu Youyou and the others were intercepted was not a sparsely populated road, but since these people appeared, the others immediately turned around and ran away in their cars.
Xu Youyou didn't expect that the security in foreign countries was so bad. Although she called the police immediately, the police said "Good luck" to her before hanging up the phone.
Even though she had heard people say that doing business abroad was extremely inefficient, she had never thought that she would be so lucky to get into trouble.
Until now, the system has not refreshed the task settlement, but only shows "pre-completion" and there is no countdown sign.
Obviously, the system guessed that it would encounter resistance like today.
"What if I don't want to hand it over?" Xu Youyou asked.
The Qianlong Grand Review Armor did not enter the market. In fact, no one present had any way of judging its true price. However, Xu Youyou had a client like Mr. Zheng who was a fanatical admirer of Emperor Qianlong, so she was naturally confident that she could sell this armor at a sky-high price.
In contrast, Mr. Crow is a foreigner, and his obsession with this armor seems a little unreasonable.
But since they are gangsters, they are obviously not good people. When Mr. Crow heard Xu Youyou's refusal, he didn't say any more nonsense, but waved behind him.
The brothers behind him and those in the front row all pulled out their guns.
Xu Youyou paused. She had never forgotten that this was a country that allowed gun ownership, but she did not expect that the other party would take out a gun in broad daylight.
The last time I faced a gunfight was a year ago.
"Little girl, it's not too late to regret now. Just hand over the things." Mr. Crow said.
Xu Youyou showed a look of fear at the right moment, but she did not hand over the item. Instead, she asked a somewhat strange question: "Are you short of this treasure? Or are you short of money?"
Mr. Crow sneered and said, "It's too late for you to use money to buy peace now."
Xu Youyou once asked the system if it would be considered exploiting a system loophole if she gave Mr. Crow enough money to make up for his losses.
Her words were immediately rejected by the system: "The other party is your direct competitor. You cannot bribe him to complete the task."
Xu Youyou was not short of money, and seeing that direct bribery was useless, she could only sigh heavily. However, this allowed her to test the bottom line of the system.
Xu Youyou sighed: "Since you guys are determined to break up, there's nothing I can do."
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of gunfire rang in her ears.
The gunshots did not come from Mr. Crow's men, but from another group.
The two cars that had previously blocked her way were moved away at some point.
Xu Youyou waved his hand and drove away with a group of bodyguards.
Mr. Crow was stopped by the sound of other people's gunfire. He found that half of the gunfire was directed at Xu Youyou's car, but these cars were all equipped with bulletproof glass, so there was not much impact.
"Boss, you are the one who is in control. As expected, dog-eat-dog warfare is our chance of survival." Xu Fang kept praising.
Xu Youyou did not do nothing during the more than ten hours of waiting for the route. She really couldn't directly bribe her competitors.
However, even though she paid a high price to hire another gang of the same size to act as her escort, the system could not determine that she had violated the rules.
Of course, the people who understand gangster tactics best also come from gangs.
The Crow's rival, nicknamed the Eagle, is particularly familiar with the Crow's methods. They predicted early on that the Crow would create an accident on this road and block Xu Youyou.
Now it seems that Xu Youyou's security fee of one million euros was well worth it.
Until Xu Youyou safely passed security check and boarded the plane, and returned to the national territory after a long flight, nothing unexpected happened.
Lu Jingyao was already waiting for her at the airport. When he thought of his girlfriend going through another hail of bullets abroad, his face was full of worry.
When he received the news, Lu Jingyao wanted to fly abroad to accompany her, but it took eleven hours to fly from Shanghai to Paris, and the nearest flight time was not convenient, so he had no way to rush over. He could only follow Xu Youyou's idea as soon as possible and entrust his acquaintances in Paris to secretly find the Eagle's people.
Now seeing Xu Youyou land safely, he immediately hugged her tightly in his arms.
"It's just a set of armor. Next time, don't put yourself at risk for such a small matter." Lu Jingyao said softly.
He felt a little puzzled and couldn't understand why Xu Youyou didn't choose to spend money to avoid disaster when she obviously had no shortage of money.
Xu Youyou still remembers the continuous sound of gunfire coming from behind her when she left that section of the road. She knew that because of the existence of the system, such things would probably happen frequently, so she couldn't give Lu Jingyao a definite promise.
Lu Jingyao didn't embarrass her and said helplessly: "It's good that you're back. Let's go home first and you can have some sleep."
Although Xu Youyou had a nap on the plane, her nerves were still tense. Now that she was back in China, in the car, next to Lu Jingyao, her nerves finally relaxed, and she fell into a deep sleep before she even got home.
She slept for a full ten hours. When she woke up, she felt the long-lost softness and the room was full of familiar furnishings. She was stunned for a moment.
After receiving her notification, Sister Zhang immediately came in pushing the food cart.
Xu Youyou took a look and saw that they were all her favorite foods. After getting up and washing up, she sat on the bed and savored them carefully.
"Ms. Xu, you just came back from abroad. You shouldn't have been abroad for some time. You look like you have lost at least ten pounds since you went out." Sister Zhang said.
Xu Youyou: "How great! I can lose weight without any deliberate exercise."
Sister Zhang said, "Ms. Xu, Mr. Lu likes you so much, he definitely won't care whether you are thin or fat. More importantly, you are a rich man, why bother to pursue losing weight? Isn't that embarrassing yourself?"
Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing. Even Sister Zhang, who was from an older generation, knew that one should not make things difficult for oneself, so she simply ate and drank.
This leisurely life lasted for a whole month.
The string in Xu Youyou's mind was tightened again.
[Ding! The task of picking up leaks has been released. Please arrive at the target location as soon as possible. The time limit for this task of picking up leaks is 10 days. ]
Xu Youyou felt that her rest was too short and she had not recovered from the last life-and-death crisis, so she said directly: "Good Tongzi, can you let me rest for a while?"
