Chapter 465 - 433 Allergies
Zhao Shimeng was well aware that the key to this matter lay with Gu Yanjing.But she had no evidence and no means.
Qiao Yuxian also knew Zhao Shimeng understood everything.
Yet she just wouldn’t admit it, pushing all the matters away.
Pushed them to Interpol, distancing herself from Gu Yanjing.
Zhao Shimeng saw her say this, remained silent for a moment, poured a glass of water for Qiao Yuxian, and said with a smile, "Let’s not talk about this. We haven’t seen each other for so long, let’s not discuss unhappy things."
Qiao Yuxian took the glass, glanced at the water inside, and held it with both hands without drinking, "Hmm."
The two had a meal together.
After the meal, Zhao Shimeng wanted to send Qiao Yuxian back.
As usual, Qiao Yuxian politely refused and called a car with her phone.
Zhao Shimeng accompanied her to wait for the car.
When the car arrived, just before getting in, Zhao Shimeng gave her a beautifully wrapped jewelry box.
It was a birthday gift for her.
Qiao Yuxian thanked and accepted it.
Zhao Shimeng glanced at the red string on her wrist and then closed the car door for her.
The car drove away.
Zhao Shimeng stood in place, only withdrawing her gaze when the car was out of sight.
After standing still for a while, Zhao Shimeng took out her phone and dialed Sheng Chendong’s number.
Once connected, she said, "She left."
After saying these two words, she added the license plate number of the car that Qiao Yuxian had just taken.
"Focus on capturing, avoid causing any fatal injuries." Zhao Shimeng paused for a moment and added, "Preferably, don’t let her get hurt at all."
After speaking, she hung up the phone, looked again in the direction the car had left, and her hand at her side gradually clenched.
...
In the ride-sharing car
Qiao Yuxian sat in the back seat, looking at the jewelry box in her hand.
Her fingers rubbed it a couple of times, just about to open it. The driver in the driver’s seat, wearing sunglasses and a mask at night, suspiciously said, "It seems the navigation has changed a bit."
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, paused, somewhat disdainful, "Who let you come out like this?"
The suspicious driver, Shang Chen, took off his sunglasses and said, "Su Qi said this way I wouldn’t be recognized."
Qiao Yuxian replied, "He tricked you, go back and hit him."
Shang Chen threw the mask onto the passenger seat and said, "The GPS has been hacked."
Qiao Yuxian looked at the GPS.
Shang Chen said, "The original route was along the main roads. The current GPS suggests going through a secluded section."
Qiao Yuxian didn’t speak.
Sheng Anhe hadn’t been rescued; then Zhao Shimeng and Sheng Chendong came to the country and approached her.
She had to be more cautious.
She could have skipped tonight’s dinner.
But if not today, there would always be a day to come.
Having come, she prepared herself mentally.
Su Qi specifically found a ride-sharing car for Shang Chen.
Anticipating that they might hack the ride-sharing navigation system.
And Qiao Yuxian and her team were waiting for them to hack it.
According to the GPS route.
Shang Chen and Qiao Yuxian reached the secluded section in just over twenty minutes.
This section was a demolition area.
The car had to pass through the demolition area.
In fact, it was closer than the original GPS route.
But at night, ride-sharing cars would block these sections.
The car entered the demolition area.
Qiao Yuxian leaned on the car seat, observing the surroundings.
Shang Chen also became alert.
Soon, vehicles emerged from both sides.
Forcing Shang Chen’s car to stop.
When the car stopped, many people quickly emerged from both sides.
Before Qiao Yuxian and Shang Chen could react, these people came with tools and started prying the car door open.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t expect them to operate like this and was stunned.
Shang Chen didn’t move, waiting for them to pry the door.
The driver’s door was pried open first.
As soon as the door fell, Shang Chen punched out.
The person standing in the car door’s path fell straight down.
Shang Chen got out and took down the few who were prying the door.
The others saw this and immediately advanced.
The rear car seat door hadn’t been pried open when Shang Chen took care of them.
Qiao Yuxian sat in the car, watching Shang Chen take down those coming over, one after another.
Suddenly, the car door on the other side was pulled open, and a tightly wrapped black-clad man swiftly entered the car to grab her wrist.
Qiao Yuxian met his eyes, dodged his hand, and simultaneously kicked him.
The black-clad man blocked a bit, but moved back slightly.
Taking this opportunity, Qiao Yuxian kicked open the half-pried door and exited the car.
The black-clad man quickly advanced again, trying to grab Qiao Yuxian’s wrist.
Qiao Yuxian dodged again, casually taking down someone next to her.
At this point, several other cars pulled up on the outskirts.
Gu Yanjing came over with people.
Across the crowd, Qiao Yuxian immediately spotted Gu Yanjing.
The black-clad man, seeing someone was coming, urgently tried to grab Qiao Yuxian.
When he came over, Qiao Yuxian no longer dodged but stepped forward to make a move.
But before she could throw a punch, she suddenly felt dizzy.
The punch was too forceful, and suddenly dizzy, she almost fell forward.
The black-clad man was almost about to grab her when his wrist was suddenly clutched and twisted with force.
Qiao Yuxian vaguely heard the sound of bone cracking and the muffled groans of the black-clad man.
Gu Yanjing supported Qiao Yuxian, looked at her pale face, and kicked the black-clad man away.
The black-clad man blocked with one arm, but still got kicked to the ground.
Gu Yanjing touched Qiao Yuxian’s forehead and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Qiao Yuxian closed her eyes, gripping his hand tightly, "Dizzy."
Gu Yanjing frowned, picking her up and walking toward the car, saying as he went, "Shang Chen, leave the black-clad guy alive."
Shang Chen replied, "Got it."
Gu Yanjing drove, taking Qiao Yuxian to the hospital.
Qiao Yuxian could feel the car moving quickly.
Her forehead was drenched in sweat; she barely opened her eyes to look at Gu Yanjing, "Gu Yanjing, it’s okay. I think I’m alright."
Gu Yanjing’s expression was cold and tense. He glanced at her but said nothing.
Qiao Yuxian closed her eyes again and said, "Gu Yanjing, the car’s too fast. I feel even dizzier."
Gu Yanjing quickly slowed down the car.
Qiao Yuxian said, "It’s okay, don’t worry."
At the hospital, Gu Yanjing carried Qiao Yuxian out of the car and headed to the emergency room.
He was so anxious that his back was soaked.
No matter how Qiao Yuxian tried to comfort him, it seemed to make no difference.
They spent over an hour at the hospital, and after medication, Qiao Yuxian was much better.
Then the cause of her dizziness was discovered.
It turned out to be a mushroom allergy.
At dinner, she ate a mushroom she had never tried before.
She only took a bite, found it unpalatable, and didn’t eat any more, not expecting such a strong aftereffect.
The place Zhao Shimeng had booked was a wild mushroom restaurant.
Most of the dishes were various mushrooms, many of which she had never tried before.
With Qiao Yuxian’s condition improving, Gu Yanjing was slightly more relieved.
Qiao Yuxian said, "I never knew I had food allergies. At my age, it’s certainly eye-opening."
Gu Yanjing wiped the sweat constantly appearing on her forehead and neck, speaking with a hint of coldness, "Sheng Anhe’s records we looked through showed she’s allergic to some fungi."
