Chapter 1345: Chapter 1321: Hijacking

Shao Qinyi received a secret message from Quan Xianglin. Even if he stopped it further, it was to no avail; the plan would soon be finalized. The reason for such a decision was none other than the death of a girl.

The one who should not have died in this battle, unfortunately lost her life due to someone’s jealousy. Such a reason is unacceptable to anyone, especially when the girl had unignorable power behind her.

Therefore, Quan Xianglin still came.

The same news quickly reached Xiao Zhenfeng’s ears. Although he didn’t know the schedule, this was good news for Xiao Zhenfeng.

"Notify Xiao Lin! Where is Xiao Ya now?" Xiao Zhenfeng asked Xiao Mu. Actually, the first question wasn’t important; what mattered was learning about Xiao Ya’s whereabouts from Xiao Mu.

"Where is Xiao Ya? Father asked the wrong person. Since Quan Zhendong died, I haven’t seen him again!" came a lukewarm reply that didn’t displease Xiao Zhenfeng, who responded with a smile.

"Quan Mingyuan will make a big move before Quan Zhendong arrives. Let Yi go help Xiao Lin; he still can’t handle those people alone."

"Weren’t you planning to keep Yi until the end? Letting Yi go now is to add to Xiao Lin’s burden. The conflict between Yi and him was engineered by you, Father."

"Hmph! Don’t think I don’t know what’s on your mind. Since that boy can hand over his woman to ’Wagang Nei,’ he must have guessed the relationship between the Assassin Group and the Xiao Family. Whether there’s a conflict with Yi or not, it won’t affect him."

"Yes, as you command, I’ll send Yi, but I can’t guarantee Xiao Lin will accept him," Xiao Mu put down the newspaper, pushing up the glasses on his nose. "Now there’s a tricky situation. The trouble that lady caused this time is probably beyond my ability to handle."

Xiao Zhenfeng glanced at Xiao Mu. "You have troublesome matters too? Don’t worry about that person. Focus on Quan Xianglin. I need to meet this old friend when Xiao Lin acts."

"Understood, Father."

Shao Qinyi did not inform Quan Mingyuan of Quan Xianglin’s trip to Palermo. It wasn’t intentional concealment; it was on Quan Xianglin’s instruction. The uninformed acted as they pleased, and this time, it was even more excessive.

It was increasingly difficult to find usable people from the death row inmates. Naturally, Quan Mingyuan knew who was obstructing his actions from behind the scenes, but he didn’t immediately erupt in anger; instead, he hid it well.

"Shao Qinyi, how has the matter I asked you to handle progressed?" Quan Mingyuan asked nonchalantly.

Shao Qinyi put down what he was doing and turned around. "Young Master Quan, I think your plan is inadvisable. If not handled properly, the people you offend won’t be ones we can handle."

"So, it’s not done?" Quan Mingyuan narrowed his eyes. Shao Qinyi was about to retort but was interrupted. "Don’t try to use old tricks on me. I’m in charge now, understood?"

"Young Master Quan, if you insist, I’ll handle it, but I won’t bear any responsibility for the consequences. If the chairman blames us, Young Master Quan will have to bear it yourself," Shao Qinyi said, leaving Quan Mingyuan’s residence, and exhaustedly dialing a number. "Get ready. It’s time to act."

Three cars sped along the highway towards the airport. Murong Lengyue had to rush back to the private island due to the successors of the five great financial groups. She seemed uneasy throughout the journey. From the rearview mirror, Xiao Yue watched Murong Lengyue, while Young Master Wu followed in the car behind them.

"Is something wrong?" Xiao Yue asked Murong Lengyue, who was sitting in the backseat.

"No, just feeling terrible, as if something’s going to happen." Murong Lengyue couldn’t explain the pounding unease in her heart.

"We’ll reach the airport soon!" Xiao Yue stepped hard on the gas pedal, increasing speed, as Young Master Wu, not understanding why the car ahead accelerated suddenly, still caught up.

Due to the unexpected situation, they had to rush back to the island overnight. Strangely, the road to the airport was unusually dark today, with several rows of streetlights missing and no oncoming vehicles. Xiao Yue also felt something was amiss.

Just as he prepared to warn the two cars behind to be careful, a sudden explosion sounded from behind; the last car was blasted into the air.

Murong Lengyue screamed in panic. With the impact of the explosion, their car was pushed forward, and Xiao Yue pressed the gas pedal to the floor, driving away.

Another loud explosion followed, at the spot where they had just stopped, bursting into flames. Young Master Wu’s car was trapped between two explosions, isolating them.

"Young Master Wu!" Murong Lengyue looked back, only to see flames without any sight of Young Master Wu’s car. "Let’s go save him!"

"No!" Xiao Yue decisively locked the car doors. Going out now would land them in an ambush. They had no idea who was attacking them.

Everything happened too fast, leaving no time for action. After the explosion, a burst of machine gunfire rained down. Several tires were shot out, and Xiao Yue hurriedly pulled Murong Lengyue out of the car, eyeing the terrain as they ran towards the side of the highway.

"The airport is two kilometers away. The explosion here will soon draw the police. Miss, just run straight ahead, and you’ll see the airport. I’ll hold off these people. No matter what happens, don’t look back, understood?" Xiao Yue told Murong Lengyue.

"No, I can’t possibly leave you alone. You have to come with me. We might meet the police." Murong Lengyue grabbed onto Xiao Yue, refusing to let go even if it meant death.

"Miss, now is not the time to be willful. You can’t risk being beside me, besides, it’s easier for me to escape alone, and with Young Master Wu here, you don’t need to worry, I’ll help block them here." As he spoke, Xiao Yue pushed Murong Lengyue away and turned to run back.

Murong Lengyue hesitated for a moment, then ran in the opposite direction.

Leaving the area where the car exploded, Murong Lengyue ran forward in a daze. As Xiao Yue said, there was no one stopping her on the way to the airport, and no one chasing her from behind. She didn’t know how long she had been running when she finally saw the distant lights, drawing closer and closer to the airport.

At that moment, a car approached from far away, its police lights flashing. Murong Lengyue waved at the sight of the police car.

The police car stopped beside her, and a policeman with a cap got out. "Miss, is there anything you need help with?"

"The car I was in was attacked. Could you please take me to the airport? And my driver is behind; someone wants to kill us," Murong Lengyue took a deep breath and said.

"Was that explosion sound caused by you guys?" The policeman looked toward the direction Murong Lengyue had run from.

"Yes!"

"Get in; we’ll take you to the airport." The policeman opened the door for Murong Lengyue, turned the car around, and drove towards the airport.

However, just as they were nearing the airport, several more police cars drove past them. Murong Lengyue watched as the police car she was in approached the airport, then suddenly made a sharp turn onto a small road, and she realized the gravity of her situation.

"Who exactly are you people? This isn’t the road to the airport." She tried to leap out of the side door but was quickly grabbed and pulled back by someone nearby.

"Miss Murong, you’d better not harm yourself. We won’t be gentle." The person beside her warned Murong Lengyue.

"What exactly do you want?"

"As long as Miss Murong cooperates and comes with me, we won’t make things difficult for you."

Murong Lengyue knew that trying to forcefully leave the car would provoke extreme actions from her captors, so she decided not to aggravate them any further.

"Do you know who I am? Aren’t you afraid of offending the Murong Family by doing such things?"

"Of course we know your identity. We are merely following orders." The person in the front row turned around and flashed a smile at her, not seeming like a bad person at all.

"You’re real policemen!" Only then did Murong Lengyue notice that their uniforms were not fake and their accents were local.

The people in the car stopped talking, and the vehicle slowly drove from a mountain path back onto the main road. Murong Lengyue had no idea where she was being taken, but since her captors were real police, she wasn’t afraid they would act recklessly.

Xiao Yue and Young Master Wu escaped from the attackers and hurried to the airport, but the airplane reserved for the Murong Family was still parked on the tarmac. No one had seen Murong Lengyue, and there had been no news.

Murong Lengyue had disappeared, and Xiao Yue’s heart trembled with regret as he let out a howl to the sky.

Young Master Wu didn’t know how to console Xiao Yue. He wandered around checking every angle. On the way there, no other vehicles had passed by; only some police cars arrived at the explosion site, which meant Murong Lengyue could not have gone back, and those who took her could only have gone ahead.

"Let’s go forward and take a look." Young Master Wu patted Xiao Yue’s shoulder.

Soon they found tire tracks at a spot, and just as Xiao Yue was about to follow them, he heard a horn behind him. Young Master Wu had somehow gotten ahold of a car.

"Someone said they saw a police car pass by here. If that’s correct, Miss is in that car." Young Master Wu had gotten a piece of news from an airport staff member and borrowed a car to chase after it.

Following the tire tracks, the two arrived at the entrance to a main road. As they watched cars pass by, they realized the trail had gone cold.

"Let’s go back and report to the master!"

The plane took off as Xiao Yue watched it pierce the sky and head towards the distance, then drove back alone.

Passing the explosion site surrounded by police tape, he did not stop but drove straight back. Young Master Wu personally returned to relay the news, while he stayed in Palermo to continue searching for Murong Lengyue’s whereabouts. (To be continued.
