Chapter 269 Meeting the Xu Family Again
Lin Qi was unable to attend the evening reception. To be more precise, she was unable to leave Xu Hexiao's room after entering it. During the reception, she was taken to take a shower by Xu Hexiao, and was fed some food by him while she was dazed. Then someone else did some tireless exercise.
When she woke up again, it was already bright outside, and Xu Hexiao was no longer in the room. Lin Qi got up to brush her teeth and wash her face, then put on a long-sleeved shirt and long pants to cover the marks on her arms and legs. After she was dressed, she opened the door and went out.
The house has three floors. Xu Hexiao lives alone on the third floor, and other people live on the second and first floors. But when Lin Qi came down, the whole house was empty, and no one was seen.
She walked on the dark red wooden floor. Her footsteps were regular and rhythmic, very light, but could still be heard within a distance of two or three meters so as not to scare people.
It was not until she left the house that Lin Qi saw a thick-skinned black woman at the door. The black woman asked her in not very fluent English, "Would you like breakfast?"
Lin Qi nodded, said thank you, and asked where Xu Hexiao had gone.
"The boss has gone to pick up the goods. A batch of goods has just arrived." Yesterday's Chinese young man walked in from outside. Today, he was wearing jeans, a denim vest, and a pair of short boots. With his short hair, it was an outfit that Lin Qi had never seen before.
Speaking of the goods, Lin Qi remembered that more than a month ago, she handed over a batch of wine to the Cao family.
That batch of wine should have arrived.
Breakfast was served to Lin Qi in less than three minutes. It was bread and milk. Lin Qi drank the milk, took the bread, and said to the Chinese youth, "When did he leave? Can we catch up with him?"
The Chinese youth answered the question irrelevantly, with interest in his eyes, "It's very dangerous, people might die."
Lin Qi's expression remained calm. "Let's go take a look."
The Chinese youth's eyes were filled with more interest. "The boss told us to listen to you. Since you said we should go, then let's go."
As soon as Lin Qi got into the young man's car, the young man smiled and reminded her, "Fasten your seat belts, sit still, and get ready. I'm going to speed up."
Lin Qi had been driving for several years, and her fastest speed was only 120. The young man accelerated all the way, and soon reached 150. The road conditions were not good, and one or two small animals would occasionally appear on the road. This speed was crazy.
But this didn't scare Lin Qi. Her expression didn't change at all, and she stared straight ahead. The young man took a moment to look at her, and was immediately disappointed, "You weren't scared."
"Just focus on driving your car." Lin Qi reminded the young man.
"The boss said you're better than him, and I believe it now." The young man said, with a conflicted tone, "We all came together but couldn't defeat the boss. If you're better than the boss, doesn't that mean that more than a dozen of us can't beat a little girl like you?"
"I am thirty-six years old." Lin Qi said.
"I don't believe it. You, like your boss, like to lie about your age."
“.......”
Lin Qi was too lazy to explain.
After driving for an hour, Lin Qi smelled the salty smell of the sea. The car began to slow down. The young man held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a pistol from somewhere with the other hand and handed it to Lin Qi, "Do you know how to use it?"
"No." Lin Qi replied.
The sharp sound of brakes was heard, and the young man was a little furious. "You dare to come here even though you don't know how to use a gun! People will die!"
Lin Qi remained calm, "You can teach me on the spot. Two minutes will be enough."
“........”
The young man looked speechless, but he still accepted his fate and taught Lin Qi how to shoot and change bullets. The whole process took only two minutes. When he was about to say something, gunshots were heard from the front.
"Our wine is now sold at a sky-high price. Almost every time we receive a shipment of wine, there are some desperate people trying to rob us. But we are no pushovers. After all these times, they haven't taken even a barrel of wine." With a crazy look in the young man's eyes, he accelerated the car and rushed forward.
"Don't the police here care?"
"They only protect white people and their own people."
“.......”
"Boss, it seems like there is more than one group of people coming this time."
"Yeah, I heard it." Xu Hexiao hid behind the container, thinking that it was a good thing that they didn't open the boxes, otherwise the bullet would hit the wooden barrel and make a hole in it.
And the other party didn't seem to want to ruin the wine. When Xu Hexiao deliberately changed the battlefield, the other party did not press on and followed suit.
Xu Hexiao was not afraid of guns or enemies, but once someone died, things would become very troublesome for him. However, when using guns, it was rare that no one died. But after the battle, he would quickly evacuate the scene. As long as he was not caught on the scene, the police would have no way to deal with him.
Of course, the police blocked his way every time, but they never succeeded.
Xu Hexiao was already planning the route in his mind. Qiqi was at home, so he didn't want to run too far this time as it would waste too much time.
On the other side, a middle-aged man was sitting in a car, holding a gun in one hand and smoking a cigar in the other, watching the gunfight from a distance.
"Boss, that Asian guy is really difficult to deal with. No wonder Old K lost eight of his men."
"He's as slippery as a loach and can run very fast. He hasn't been caught yet. Boss, how about we cooperate with Lao K?"
"Cooperation? I don't agree. I don't want to give half of the profits to that fat pig, Old K. Boss, you don't want to cooperate, do you?"
The middle-aged man flicked the ash from his cigar and said slowly, "I'll go meet him."
"Boss, are you going?"
"Why, no?"
"Be careful."
"It's okay as long as we protect the boss."
Lin Qi had never thought that this Chinese youth would be so unreliable that he drove the car into the enemy's camp. Not only that, he shot at the enemy's back before he even got out of the car, but he missed!
Soon after, they were attacked by a group of people. The car was beaten into a sieve. Lin Qi crouched down and hid under the car door, without even a chance to get out.
"Oh no, the fuel tank was hit and it's leaking. I wonder if they will ignite it?" the young man said with a sad face.
Lin Qi also smelled gasoline in the air. She frowned, then put the muzzle of the gun to the broken car window. She didn't even aim, but seemed to be shooting randomly.
After a few seconds, there was no sound from the other end.
"Hey, the gunfire stopped." The young man was surprised.
"Can you kill people?" Lin Qi asked.
"Casualties are inevitable, but it will be a bit troublesome," said the young man.
Lin Qi frowned, then took down the car door, "Those people were just injured, you hide behind me."
"You just hit it!" The young man widened his eyes.
Lin Qi didn't explain, but urged, "Follow me."
"Is there someone behind?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"Boss, there's only one car coming from behind."
"Boss, four of us are injured."
The middle-aged man's brows furrowed even deeper. Wasn't there just one car? How come they injured four people in just one encounter?
"Deal with the two behind first."
The middle-aged man turned around and walked back with the gun.
Lin Qi and the other person had already hidden behind a large container. She told the young man, "Wait here, I'll go and take care of them."
The young man only had time to let out a sigh before Lin Qi disappeared from his sight.
The consequences of killing are troublesome, so Lin Qi does not plan to kill anyone. Her plan is to capture the leader first.
With Lin Qi's hearing, no sound within a few hundred meters away could escape her ears, and she easily knew which one was the "king".
The middle-aged man thought he had been careful enough. After so many years of exposure to bullets and gunfire, he finally had his current status and wealth, so he still valued his life.
But the person he met was Lin Qi.
Before the middle-aged man knew what was happening, the gun in his hand was taken away and the muzzle of a gun was pressed against his temple.
what happened?
The people at the scene were all confused. They stared blankly at the woman who suddenly appeared. They were at a loss for a moment, and only pointed their guns at Lin Qi two seconds later.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man turned his head to look at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi looked at the middle-aged man's face and blurted out subconsciously, "Your niece-in-law."
“.......”
The middle-aged man asked in English and Lin Qi answered in Chinese. The atmosphere at the scene became a little weird.
"Xu Zhaotu?" Lin Qi asked tentatively. This face looked too much like her father-in-law Xu Zhaoyuan.
"Have you heard of my name?" Xu Zhaotu did not feel any hostility from Lin Qi and his body relaxed a lot.
"I guessed. I know Xu Zhaoyuan, Xu Hexiao and Grandpa Xu."
"That's my brother and my oldest nephew." Xu Zhaotu was a little excited. "Where are they?"
"Your brother is in China. Your eldest nephew is the one you are fighting with."
“........”
"There's no movement on one side, what's going on?"
"Boss, will there be any changes?"
"You guys stay here, I'll go over there and take a look."
Just as Xu Hexiao was about to rush forward, Lin Qi's voice suddenly came from the other side, "Ah He, I met your uncle."
His uncle?
Which uncle of his?
"Your uncle, Xu Zhaotu."
“.......”
Next, Xu Hexiao and Xu Zhaoyuan joined forces to drive away the other robbers.
Today's gunfight ended quickly. There were gunshots, but no one died. The injured went to the hospital, while those who escaped fled. Xu Hexiao didn't have to run. He watched Lin Qi and a middle-aged man approaching. When he saw that Lin Qi had no wounds on her body, he set his sights on the middle-aged man's face.
This face is 80% similar to his father's. It seems that he really met his relatives overseas. What is this? No fight, no acquaintance?
Xu Hexiao had a headache, wondering whether he had killed his uncle's men or not, and whether the two sides could make peace.
An hour and a half later, Xu Hexiao and his team pulled the goods back to the winery, and Xu Zhaotu and his team also returned with them.
Lin Qi left the space to Xu Zhaoyuan and Xu Zhaotu, and went to the vineyard. The grape vines in the vineyard had grown and were now bearing fruit. Lin Qi silently injected her supernatural powers into these grape plants, catalyzing their mutation. She didn't stay here for long, and the fruit-producing effect could only last for a short time. The purpose of her trip was to allow the plants to mutate and produce high-quality fruit in the future.
But even if the plants mutate, this is not a permanent solution. If she wants the vines to continue to produce high-quality grapes, she will have to come here every year in the future.
