Zhan Dapeng, who instantly understood the meaning behind her words, looked through the rearview mirror and noticed two more cars approaching.
At the other end of the phone, Lao Ba also got anxious and asked, "Fourth Brother, what’s happening?"
"Someone’s still trailing us. It seems like the person who urged those girls to act, seeing their failure, had to come personally."
"What do they want to do?"
"Maybe they want to—stage a car accident—"
Before Zhan Dapeng could finish, one of the trailing Audis suddenly accelerated, aiming straight for their car’s rear.
He slammed the accelerator and pulled the gear lever, the Ferrari also sped up to evade the rear-end collision.
At this moment, another car had already turned into a side alley, swiftly overtaking to block the Ferrari at the upcoming intersection.
In an instant, a life-and-death chase unfolded on the road, with all other vehicles automatically giving way to the three speeding cars.
Jia Baomo dared not disconnect the call and could clearly hear the terrifying sound of the engines and wheels spinning at high speed and rubbing against the ground.
His heartbeat also raced wildly.
Until suddenly, there was a loud bang on the other end, as if a massive explosion had occurred, and without surprise, the call with Zhan Dapeng was abruptly cut off.
Jia Baomo immediately jumped up from his seat, exclaiming, "Fourth Brother—"
Oh God, that was his fiancée’s brother!
He was going crazy, not knowing if Zhan Dapeng and Gu Nuan were still alive.
Meanwhile, in the Xiao Family, after getting a message from the informant inserted in the kitchen, the cook went up to the second floor, seemingly passing by Xiao Jianming’s room.
Qingqing, also known as Little Pudding, stayed with his sister and grandpa while waiting for Aunt Gu to return, so he moved a small stool, set up a small table, and started folding paper with his little hands.
Even the old crocodile, with closed eyes, couldn’t help but wonder what the child was folding.
Despite being a boy, Little Pudding was not at all less skilled than a girl. Quickly, he transformed the origami paper into soaring paper cranes and placed them in a glass jar prepared by his sister.
Feeling the old crocodile’s stealthy glance, a slight smile curled Qingqing’s little mouth: "Grandpa will surely get better soon. Aunt is about to have a baby, to give Grandpa a real grandson."
The old crocodile seemed to want to hum in response to the child’s words.
Zhao Mengjin, while her brother was talking, quietly turned her head, catching sight of a figure passing by the door, a glimmer in her eyes that no one else could notice.
After a while, Zhao Mengjin reached out to pat her brother’s head and said, "Stay here with Grandpa, sister is going out for a bit."
"Okay." Zhao Mengqing nodded obediently, his little face full of confidence, as if he were one of the Four Heavenly Kings responsible for guarding the gate.
Zhao Mengjin smiled, then stood up and walked out.
Mere moments after she left, the cook walked up to Xiao Jianming’s room door, carrying a tray. Just as she was about to turn the knob and enter without knocking, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"What are you trying to do?"
Zhao Mengjin’s sudden voice startled the cook immensely.
The cook coughed twice, slowly turned around, and lowered her head to look at Zhao Mengjin’s feet, saying, "Didn’t Miss just leave?"
"This is the chairman’s room, who allowed you to approach?" Zhao Mengjin questioned.
