After school, Shi Miao saw a flashy pink sports car parked on the side of the road as soon as she left the school gate.
Qin Xiao spotted Shi Miao immediately from inside the car. He rolled down the window, and the car's cheesy DJ music poured out.
Qin Xiao, wearing pink sunglasses, stuck his head out and called out, "Shi Xiaomiao, get in the car!"
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. She really wanted to pretend she didn't know him, but she felt that everyone around her was looking at her. She raised her hand to lower the brim of her hat and got into the car neatly.
"How about it? My new sunglasses are pretty good, aren't they?" Qin Xiao started the sports car after seeing Shi Miao fasten her seatbelt.
Shi Miao took off her hat, glanced at him, and said, "Ugly."
Qin Xiao: "..."
The sports car was driving smoothly on the wide road when a large truck traveling in the opposite direction was speeding towards them and crashing into them.
Seeing this, Shi Miao frowned and said in a deep voice, "Be careful!"
"Damn it, is that truck in front crazy?" Qin Xiao cursed, but his hands didn't stop. He stepped on the brakes, calmly swerved to the right, and crashed into the roadside green belt after a screeching sound. He narrowly avoided a head-on collision with the oncoming truck.
The large truck that had missed its target crashed into the vehicle behind it, sending debris and shrapnel flying everywhere. The truck driver died at the scene.
Inside the car, fortunately Qin Xiao reacted quickly enough, and there were airbags, so the two of them were unharmed.
After exchanging a glance, Shi Miao and Qin Xiao got out of the car without hesitation and walked to a safe area.
A crowd had already gathered around. Some people quickly took out their phones to dial 120, while others were busy calling the police.
...
"Damn it, what bad luck." Qin Xiao rubbed his temples, never expecting to encounter something like this while having a meal.
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly. "This car is clearly coming for us."
"Damn, I haven't messed with anyone lately, have I?"
Shi Miao took out her phone, her fair fingers tapping rapidly on the screen. In no time, she had found out all the information about the truck driver, including his recent bank transfer records.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao leaned over and asked, "What did you find out?"
A cold glint appeared in Shi Miao's eyes. "Around 11 a.m., his account received a remittance of two million. The account from M Continent..."
"What? M continent? Where is the account holder?" Qin Xiao exclaimed.
Shi Miao looked at her phone, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "The holder's information has been encrypted."
"Can it be cracked?" Qin Xiao frowned.
"Yes, it needs to be done on a computer," Shi Miao said casually.
"Damn, we can't leave yet, the traffic police haven't arrived."
Shi Miao clicked her tongue and made a phone call to a flower.
A Flower: [The sun must have risen in the west! Boss, you actually called me first!]
Shi Miao: [Stop talking nonsense, help me check some account information, I've sent it to your phone.]
Before a single flower could bloom, Shi Miao hung up the phone.
A dozen minutes later, a flower called.
A Flower: [Wow, this account is interesting; it took me so long.]
Shi Miao: [Who?]
A flower: [A man from the capital of the Hua Kingdom named Qin Chu.]
...
"Found it."
"Who is it, Shi Xiaomiao?" Qin Xiao asked.
"Qin Chu, your uncle." Shi Miao pursed her lips, her eyes darkening.
"What did you say? Qin Chu is so bold as to dare to kill me?" Qin Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"They're probably after me..." Shi Miao rubbed her fingers on her phone, her eyes lowered in thought.
"That can't be right. Why would he do that to you? You have nothing to do with him." Qin Xiao scratched his head, looking puzzled.
“Gu Wanqing is my aunt.” Shi Miao said in a deep voice, concealing the sharpness in his eyes.
"Holy crap... What a small world... Isn't Qin Chu your uncle? Why would he want to kill you? It doesn't make sense... I still think it's more reasonable for him to be after me." Qin Xiao analyzed logically, resting his chin on his hand.
Shi Miao rubbed her temples. Qin Chu was indeed not as simple as the investigation had shown. It seemed she would have to find an opportunity to get to know him.
However, if what Gu Qingshan said is true, the Gu family has had no contact with Gu Wanqing for so many years, and Gu Yunbai obviously wouldn't tell her his identity for Gu Yanxin's sake.
How did Qin Chu know her identity? Did Gu Yanxin tell her? Did Gu Yanxin use Qin Chu to get rid of her? If that's true, what reason would Qin Chu have to help Gu Yanxin?
Suddenly, Gu Wanqing's image appeared in his mind, and for some reason, he felt a little worried about her, so he immediately sent her a message.
Shi Miao: [How have you been lately? Has anything unusual happened around you?]
Gu Wanqing: [I'm fine, nothing's wrong. What's wrong?]
Shi Miao: [It's okay, I'm going to Beijing tomorrow, want to meet up?]
Gu Wanqing: [Okay, see you at the same restaurant as last time!]
Shi Miao: [Okay.]
