Chapter 1850: Ambush on the Road
Min Yu tilted his head and looked directly into Huo Yao's eyes. When their eyes met, he seemed to suddenly understand what Huo Yao meant. "I see. I will go find someone else to identify it."
There are probably many issues involved in the meteorite. Even President Sheng came here in person. It is probably not as simple as studying an underground palace.
How could he not understand the principle that it is a crime to possess a treasure?
However...Min Yu suddenly smiled at the trust given to him to keep such an important thing so easily.
"Yeah." Huo Yao nodded, and didn't say much. He turned his head to look out the window, his eyes passing over the SUV running parallel to the left. At this moment, he remembered something, so he turned back and asked, "By the way, after I left, has anyone from the archaeological team left?"
Min Yu collected his thoughts and said, "President Sheng did go to the side hall. What happened?"
President Sheng?
Huo Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and soon she shook her head again, "Nothing."
The dark shadow in the underground palace before...I hope she was just overthinking it.
Min Yu looked at her. He held the black jade between his fingers for a long time but felt no warmth. He lowered his head again, looking at the shape of the black jade. Suddenly, he remembered the strange things that had happened to Huo Yao in the past.
My heart sank, and I felt that the appearance of this jade was not a good thing.
At this moment, Huo Yao's cell phone rang, breaking the silence in the car.
It’s Xiao Xie calling.
As soon as Huo Yao picked up the phone, Xiao Xie's panting voice came over, "Miss, are you okay over there?"
Huo Yao listened to the noisy and gun-like sound on the other end of the phone and sat up straighter. "I'm fine. Is there any problem over there?"
Xiao Xie was controlling the steering wheel while dodging the bullets from behind. When he heard Huo Yao's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. "We were ambushed halfway. The enemy was coming aggressively. Fortunately, you didn't follow the convoy, otherwise it would be dangerous."
"What is the current casualties of the convoy?" Huo Yao asked quickly.
"They planted micro-bombs on the road, and now there are only a few brothers left." Xiao Xie's eyes were filled with resentment, and his hands holding the steering wheel were so tight that veins popped out. "Deacon Ding is also seriously injured now."
Huo Yao's expression darkened. So this was an ambush specifically planned against her?
Thinking about it, she took out her headset and put it on, while quickly tapping on her phone.
In just a few seconds, she located Xiao Xie's position.
It was still more than 20 kilometers away from Shangyi Town, and even farther away from her. It might be difficult to meet up with him for the time being.
Huo Yao's eyes were grim. In his earphones, the clanging sounds of bullets hitting the car body continued to come, as if they were going to kill Xiao Xie and the others.
"Hold on, I'll send someone to pick you up."
After Huo Yao finished speaking, he switched his phone back to computer mode and his fingers moved rapidly on the virtual keyboard.
Min Yu, who was sitting nearby, saw this and did not interrupt them. He only told Zhuo Yun to hurry to Shangyi Town.
**
Xiao Xie had just hung up the phone when the car chasing them suddenly crashed into the rear of his car.
The violent collision almost knocked the car away.
Xiao Xie shook his impacted head, steadied the steering wheel, turned to look at Deacon Ding who was bleeding profusely from his waist and abdomen due to the explosion in the passenger seat, gritted his teeth, stepped hard on the accelerator, and once again increased the speed of the car to the extreme.
He didn't know what the eldest lady just meant by 'send someone to pick us up', and at this critical moment, he had no time to think about it.
All I know is that I can’t let anything happen to Deacon Ding. If anything happens to him, then the eldest lady’s successor assessment task will most likely not be completed within the specified time.
He couldn't let this happen accidentally.
