Chapter 272 Ambush
After the head of the planning department finished speaking, he raised his eyes and cautiously observed Si Yanxiao's expression. Seeing that the coldness on his face had not eased at all, he was startled.
She immediately lowered her head and dared not utter a sound, for fear of touching his brow.
Just as he was feeling uneasy, Si Yanxiao's expression turned cold, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and he coldly rebuked, "The concept is vague, the plan is completely unoriginal, and after three revisions, this is still the result?!"
His tone suddenly became sharp, and his voice involuntarily rose a little.
After saying that, he threw the documents in his hand directly on the ground, a hint of anger lurking between his brows. Seeing this, the head of the planning department was so frightened by his attitude that he dared not breathe, his expression slightly stiffening, a hint of grievance flashing in his eyes, but he dared not offer any further explanation.
Then, he nervously picked up the document and held it in his hand, waiting for Si Yanxiao to reprimand him.
Seeing that he did not refute or utter a word, Si Yanxiao felt that venting his anger was like punching cotton, with no effect whatsoever.
His eyes suddenly sharpened, his anger intensified, and he coldly rebuked, "If this kind of plan comes to fruition again, everyone in the planning department is fired!"
"Yes, yes..." the head of the planning department quickly responded, then made a guarantee. Seeing that Si Yanxiao's expression had eased slightly, he turned and left.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, the assistant rushed forward, a look of surprise flashing across his face, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why was there such a commotion inside?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the planning department lowered his eyes and remained silent, looking dejected. He then slowly shook his head and left.
Seeing his reaction, the assistant immediately understood and sighed inwardly.
As Si Yanxiao's office assistant, he walked on thin ice every day, and had to guess his mood from other details, for fear of becoming the "first to stick his neck out".
Inside the CEO's office, Si Yanxiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance. His eyes were deep and dark, his expression slightly stern, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his face was unreadable.
The trail to the person behind the scenes has gone cold, and there has been no news of them since. The enemy is in the dark while he is in the light, which remains a thorny issue.
Although there is no movement now, it probably won't be quiet for long. Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao's eyes suddenly darkened, and his expression became even more gloomy.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ran drove straight to the restaurant they had arranged to meet, but she noticed in her rearview mirror that a car was following her.
Just as she noticed, the car suddenly accelerated, seemingly trying to cut her off.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he stepped on the gas and sped away.
When Lu Ziyi saw that she had noticed him, his eyes turned cold, and he said sharply, "Follow me!"
Upon hearing this, the thugs discussed with the car behind them and prepared to attack from both sides. Jiang Ran frowned slightly when she saw them relentlessly pursuing her, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
Seeing that two cars were trying to block him from the roadside, just like the last time Jiang Yuechen was stopped, he realized that the situation was exactly the same.
In a panic, he quickly picked up his phone and hesitated briefly between Si Yanxiao and Jiang Yuechen.
She is now closer to the Si Group, and besides, Jiang Yuechen is physically disabled, so it's just him and the driver. Two fists can't fight four hands, but Si Yanxiao is different.
After weighing the pros and cons, the former was chosen.
Si Yanxiao was lost in his thoughts, his gaze slightly darkened, when suddenly the cell phone on the table rang.
It instantly interrupted his thoughts.
Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, walked slowly closer, and when he saw the caller ID, a hint of surprise flashed across his face before he swiped to answer.
Before he could even ask a question, he heard a hurried voice coming from the receiver.
"Si Yanxiao! Someone is blocking my way in a car!"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao frowned sharply and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you!"
As he spoke, he picked up his car keys and walked outside.
Jiang Ran glanced to the side, pointed out a typical building, and then added, "I'm heading towards the company now."
"Okay." Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly as he reassured her, "Don't be afraid, don't hang up. I'll let you know if anything happens. I'm on my way right now."
"Mmm," Jiang Ran replied repeatedly.
Hearing Si Yanxiao's voice, Jiang Ran felt a strange sense of peace in her heart.
Although she was proficient in metaphysics, it was of no use to her when it came to fighting.
Seeing Si Yanxiao walk out quickly with a displeased expression, the assistant was startled, thinking something had happened, and hurriedly stepped forward to call out, "Mr. Si."
Si Yanxiao paused slightly, then asked in a cold voice, "Where is Gu Nan?"
The assistant was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Assistant Gu is out on business and hasn't returned yet."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed across Si Yanxiao's face, and he immediately turned and left.
The assistant was left standing there, looking completely bewildered.
Jiang Ran shared her location to Si Yanxiao's phone. Just then, the car behind seized the opportunity to overtake her quickly and cut in front of her car.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran was startled and immediately slammed on the brakes, nearly causing the car to collide with the roadside guardrail.
After the car came to a stop, another black sedan was seen speeding towards us from the side and rear, closing in.
The two cars sandwiched her from the front and back, trapping her in the middle and making her unable to move.
The people in the car behind got out of their car and respectfully opened the back door. Lu Ziyi stepped out.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a slight smirk appeared on her lips.
He spoke in a low voice, reminding him, "It's Lu Ziyi."
After saying that, he opened the car door and got out.
Upon hearing that name, a chill flashed in Si Yanxiao's eyes. He had assumed it was the mastermind behind it all, but it turned out to be that good-for-nothing who was more trouble than he was worth!
Anyone who dares to touch him is asking for death!
Then he stepped on the gas and sped away. Passersby could only vaguely hear a roar and look up to see the tail of a sports car.
Lu Ziyi and Jiang Ran's gazes met in the air, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Jiang Ran glanced coldly at Lu Ziyi, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, before scoffing, "I thought it was someone else? You've turned into a pig's head in just a few days?"
Her words were full of disdain. She had heard Gu Nan mention that she had taught him a small lesson, but she hadn't expected him to be beaten black and blue. It was truly gratifying! "You!" Lu Ziyi heard the sarcasm in her words, his eyes narrowed, and his face immediately turned ugly.
Jiang Ran acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and continued, "No wonder you wouldn't leave even after I scolded you so badly last time. It turns out you had planned this all along."
"So, what's the result of the maliciously edited video?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi's expression darkened slightly, and a sinister glint flashed between his brows.
Last time, he originally wanted to sow discord between her and Si Yanxiao, but he ended up losing more than he gained and was beaten up in the end.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence to prove that Si Yanxiao was responsible, so they can only suffer in silence.
He still thought he had overheard the people who beat him mentioning the "video" and then guessed that it was about Si Yanxiao.
Little did he know that all of this was deliberately leaked to him by Si Yanxiao, just to see that even though he knew who was behind it all, he couldn't get his revenge and could only swallow his anger.
"Jiang Ran, do you still dare to be arrogant? Do you think you'll always be so lucky that someone will come to your rescue?" Lu Ziyi's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly sneered.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow slightly, unconsciously stroking her wristwatch with her hand, and slowly replied with a slight smile, "Maybe?"
Seeing her calm demeanor, Lu Ziyi's face darkened, and a wave of disgust rose in his heart.
What he disliked most was Jiang Ran's indifferent expression, as if he were a foolish clown in her eyes.
A shadow of gloom flashed in Lu Ziyi's eyes, and he suddenly sneered, "Heh... I'd like to see who can save you this time!"
As he spoke, he took a half step back and waved his hand slightly. The thugs immediately understood and swarmed forward, clearly preparing to forcibly take Jiang Ran away.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran frowned slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
My hands clenched into fists, and the best way to dodge flashed through my mind.
Just then, a rapid engine sound came from behind, accompanied by the screeching sound of car tires rubbing against the ground.
Seeing the car speeding towards them, the thugs hurriedly retreated, making a sharp turn, and the car instantly blocked Jiang Ran and the others.
Upon seeing this, everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.
Then the car window slowly rolled down, and a handsome face immediately came into view, his eyes flashing with coldness.
