Chapter 225 - 225 225 Gu Qiaoqiao Panicked

Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Gu Qiaoqiao Panicked Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Gu Qiaoqiao Panicked In the blink of an eye, three days had quietly passed.

Qin Yize had essentially finished arranging his work here, but he continued to be elusive.

Gu Qiaoqiao knew he still had the Qin Family’s affairs to take care of.

Was this the best explanation for the adage “the capable ones do more”?

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t be sure.

Now, she had a small amount of assets in her hands.

However, she would have to wait until she returned from Border City to make specific plans on what to do with them.

With grain in hand, there was no panic in the heart.

Since coming back, Gu Qiaoqiao had only spoken to An Xiaotong on the phone once and, for this girl who almost suffered the same fate as herself, Gu Qiaoqiao paid extra attention.

By chance, An Xiaotong called her in the morning, saying she was going to intern at Lijing Ho, so she wanted to meet with Gu Qiaoqiao.

Thus, the two agreed to meet at the small park in Central Building at 14:00 in the afternoon.

Gu Qiaoqiao left the house after eating lunch.

When she arrived at the small park, it was already past one o’clock.

Gu Qiaoqiao sat in the shade of the trees waiting for An Xiaotong.

The park wasn’t crowded, perhaps because the weather was too hot; at this time, no one liked to go outside.

Gu Qiaoqiao waited there until half-past two but still didn’t see any sign of An Xiaotong.

Gu Qiaoqiao became anxious.

Had something happened on the road?

Thinking this, Gu Qiaoqiao abruptly stood up and quickly walked toward the park’s exit.

The exit was quiet.

There were hardly any people around.

She looked left and right but did not see An Xiaotong.

Gu Qiaoqiao checked the direction, then started walking towards the streets in the northwest.

But just then, a speeding van passing by Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly braked, its sharp screech startling her.

Turning her head, the van’s door suddenly opened, and three men in black T-shirts came out, capturing Gu Qiaoqiao in the blink of an eye and shoved her into the vehicle.

The van then sped off.

These actions were completed almost in the blink of an eye, so no one saw a girl being grabbed by three men and thrown into a car.

Gu Qiaoqiao was tossed onto the vehicle’s seat.

Sitting beside her was unexpectedly Alina.

Gu Qiaoqiao furrowed her brows tightly and gazed darkly at Alina, “Alina, it’s you!”

Alina nodded, sneering, “Yes, it’s me. I asked you nicely to meet and you refused, forcing me to resort to such violent methods.”

Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand quietly reached into her purse and pulled out the lighter, then she scanned the people in the vehicle—a driver and three bodyguards.

And there was one Alina.

The van’s seating was arranged in three rows.

Gu Qiaoqiao was sitting in the middle, with a smug Alina across from her.

The vehicle was going fast, apparently heading northwest.

Gu Qiaoqiao stealthily flicked the lighter’s switch on and asked Alina, “What are you planning to do? Don’t you know this is illegal?”

Alina shook her head nonchalantly, “I just want to invite you to meet with our club’s owner, have a little talk, and then we’ll let you go. What are you worried about?”

“The club’s owner?” Gu Qiaoqiao frowned. Who was this person?

Alina shrugged her shoulders, instructing the driver, “Drive faster.”

At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao moved swiftly, positioning a small handgun against Alina’s forehead.

As they were both seated, it hardly took any effort.

“Stop the car!” commanded Gu Qiaoqiao in a calm tone.

Alina’s pupils dilated in shock, and with disbelief, she raised her eyes to look at the somewhat chilly weapon pressed against her forehead. Her mouth agape, she was, for a moment, unable to speak.

The three bodyguards clearly hadn’t expected this, since the takeover had been too easy.

The adversary was merely a girl in her late teens.

By the time they reacted, it was already too late.

None of them dared to move, because they didn’t know if the gun in the girl’s hand was real.

If a nervous twitch caused it to fire, the situation would escalate significantly.

One of the bodyguard leaders spoke up, “Young lady, don’t get excited. Our boss really just wants to have a word with you.”

“I said stop the car,” Gu Qiaoqiao commanded sharply once again.

At that moment, the car lurched slightly, causing Gu Qiaoqiao to sway. The bodyguard who had spoken was about to charge over from the back seat.

Gu Qiaoqiao raised her hand, and a hard stone suddenly struck his wrist.

The bodyguard couldn’t help but cry out in pain.

He then collapsed, sitting on the seat.

Gu Qiaoqiao again pressed the custom handgun tightly against Alina’s forehead and coolly stated, “You know exactly how accurate I am. Stop the car!”

The people in the car looked at Gu Qiaoqiao with shocked expressions.

Not only was her aim accurate, but her movements were quick as well.

Even these well-trained assassins hadn’t been able to react in time to her shot.

Allowing her to once again aim the gun at Alina.

Alina finally found her voice, her teeth clenched as she trembled, “Do you dare to shoot?”

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, “You can try me.”

Alina suddenly remembered the way Gu Qiaoqiao had held an arrow at Gu Yajing that day, but she couldn’t stop the car.

She had no good way to invite Gu Qiaoqiao to the hotel.

They could only have someone loiter near the Qin Family’s residence, hoping to take her to the hotel once she was alone.

Who cares about the consequences.

After all, they had Xino in the event of trouble.

He was a distinguished foreign businessman and guest invited by Hua Country.

But the Gu Qiaoqiao in front of her was quite different from what she had imagined.

She gritted her teeth, “Are you here waiting for An Xiaotong from the An Family?”

“How did you know?” Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze turned sharp.

“Never mind how I know, but I can tell you, she got into a car with a man and left about half an hour ago.”

“She got in willingly, not like I did?” Gu Qiaoqiao pondered for a moment before asking sternly.

“Why would I lie to you?” Alina said irritably, and then stared at Gu Qiaoqiao, “Let’s make a deal. You come with me to meet our club’s boss, then I’ll tell you what car An Xiaotong got into, what the man looks like…”

Gu Qiaoqiao frowned in thought.

Was it someone she knew?

If it was someone familiar, then there was less to worry about.

But still, something didn’t feel right.

Xiaotong knew she was in the park waiting for her. Why would she leave without saying a word?

Given Xiaotong’s considerate and yielding nature, she wouldn’t be so impolite.

Gu Qiaoqiao was anxious.

Seeing the expression on Gu Qiaoqiao’s face, Alina said with triumph, “Otherwise, you can kill me. Feel free.”

Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts shifted quickly, and she suddenly put away the gun into her bag, telling Alina, “Tell the driver to speed up.”

The three bodyguards quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

One of the bodyguards picked up the stone from the ground, looked at the swelling on his wrist, and the broken half of his watch strap, and sneered, “Young lady, you’ve got quite the marksmanship.”

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled faintly, “If my aim wasn’t this good, would I dare to point a gun at someone? Besides, isn’t that what your boss is interested in too?”
