Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 89 - 87: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun
Chapter 89: Chapter 87: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun
The quality of those three flying cars was evidently superior to Ye Qiu’s. Rong Xing was still in the car, she dared not take any chances and immediately dialed an emergency number, but it was clear the opposition was prepared, as her call couldn’t get through.
"Bang..." Two flying cars beside her simultaneously pinched her in, forcing her to lower the flying car to the ground and slow down.
Ye Qiu quickly strapped Rong Xing to her chest, then fiercely stomped on the brakes, colliding violently with the car behind, smoke billowed from the rear.
Taking advantage of the moment the other two flying cars failed to react, Ye Qiu immediately sped up, but the performance of the flying car was still too poor, and she was quickly caught up to again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."
"Huh? Why can’t I contact him?" Su Qing stared blankly at her phone. Normally, contact was no problem, but today her father-in-law tried to reach Ye Qiu and couldn’t, which made her overthink. Could it be that the new Body Forging Technique had been leaked and now Ye Qiu was targeted?
With that thought, Su Qing immediately became anxious. The importance of the new Body Forging Technique was evident from the serious expressions of her father-in-law and husband, so Ye Qiu absolutely couldn’t run into trouble.
She immediately called the Military District’s kindergarten, and after learning that Ye Qiu had just dropped off Rong Chen, Su Qing drove the flying car towards the direction of Ye Qiu’s home.
To save time, she drove the fastest one at home, coincidentally choosing the same route Ye Qiu had taken.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu’s flying car, caught between three others, was already battered. The intense collisions frightened Rong Xing, who cried incessantly. She opened the sunroof, clutching her young son close.
Ye Qiu stomped fiercely on the brakes again, reducing her speed, and quickly leaped through the sunroof before the car was wrecked, then using the roof of the car behind to roll to the roadside.
Ye Qiu dashed across an abandoned track to one side, and the three flying cars behind her could not follow, and five burly men in black alighted and chased after her.
She pushed her speed to the limits, thankful for the constant cultivation of the Body Forging Technique over the past month, improving her physical condition remarkably. Plus, her balance was better than the five men, not affecting her speed even when turning corners.
So although those five men had higher Level Body Technique than her, they could not catch up to her immediately.
Ye Qiu had no enemies, other than Qin Shu who could summon people with Level 5 Body Technique and above to act on her behalf, Ye Qiu couldn’t think of anyone else.
That woman was downright vicious, where would Ye Qiu have thought she’d dare to pull such a stunt on the streets of Capital Star, utterly unprepared and almost slaughtered.
Ye Qiu’s car?
Su Qing hadn’t been out for ten minutes when she discovered the site of the incident, looking at the damaged flying car she was terrified but thankfully there was no one in the car, however, seeing that the other two relatively intact flying cars were also empty, she guessed that Ye Qiu might have gotten out and lured the people to the forest on the other side of the tracks.
Not taking any chances during this critical period, Su Qing felt targeted over the new Body Forging Technique, she destroyed the signal jammer and made an emergency call to her husband.
Learning that her husband would immediately send the nearest troops, Su Qing hung up the communication and ran alone into the forest.
For Ye Qiu behind, the five burly men in black who initially thought they were just dealing with a woman with Level 4 Body Technique never expected to be delayed for so long without success, which fueled their anger.
No longer merely playing a cat-and-mouse game, as more time passed, their chances of being exposed grew. They needed to resolve everything before patrolling police noticed.
The leader made several hand signals, and the other four burly men immediately spread out in all directions, determined to block Ye Qiu’s path and not give her a chance to turn quickly.
Ye Qiu’s forehead was already covered with fine sweat; if she were alone, she might have fought her way out, but Rong Xing was too young; she couldn’t risk it.
After she made fewer sharp turns, the black-clad man chasing her closed the distance between them, holding a dagger in his hand, aiming for Ye Qiu’s back.
Ye Qiu sharply twisted her body to the side, bending down, grabbing two pebbles with her right hand while her left leg attacked the man’s lower body. As they clashed, four other burly men in black surrounded her, each also wielding a dagger.
Every move they made was lethal; these were not ordinary cultivators but more like trained killers from a large family.
Ye Qiu found an opportunity and flicked one of the pebbles at one of the men’s wrists. Using a clever force, the pebble pierced through instantly, causing the dagger to fall.
With a carp flipping motion, the dagger was already in her hand, while the other pebble flew towards another man’s throat. Unfortunately, he reacted quickly and was only injured.
The series of movements from Ye Qiu made the black-clad men realize they were not dealing with an ordinary woman, but someone as well-trained as them.
They thought this was a simple task, hence did not bring firearms, but unexpectedly encountered a tough challenge.
However, regretfully, even if she was a worthy opponent, carrying a small baby meant she couldn’t possibly stand a chance against five of them.
In order not to waste time, their attacks became faster; Ye Qiu, fighting alone, struggled against multiple opponents, and she also had to protect Rong Xing, suffering serious injuries to her right arm and back.
When Su Qing arrived, she saw the scene where Ye Qiu’s back was almost pierced through.
"Stop!" Su Qing shouted loudly, drawing the laser gun from her waist. As a relative of the high-ranking military, she was entitled to carry firearms, and luckily, she had the foresight to bring the laser gun with her. Aiming quickly, the man attempting to stab Ye Qiu’s back immediately fell to the ground.
The remaining four black-clad men saw the bad turn of events and scattered in all directions, with the leader’s face darkening. He clearly understood today’s task was unachievable and equally knew the severe punishment for failure. He shouldn’t have underestimated the situation.
"Let’s go."
He recognized the weapon as one from the Military Department, and it wouldn’t be long before more military personnel arrived, they had to leave quickly.
Seeing the four men leave rapidly, Ye Qiu and Su Qing both breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Qiu, exhausted and severely injured, was immediately supported by Su Qing.
At the Military District Hospital, Ye Qiu’s condition had stabilized, and Su Qing, looking after her, asked with a frown, "Do you know who was targeting you?"
"I have an idea."
"Who?" Su Qing asked nervously.
"I’m not sure yet, but there are suspects. Has the Military Department concluded their investigation?" Ye Qiu squinted, her expression grim.
"We need to wait a bit longer. Those men were clearly well-trained and left no clues, but such audacity on Capital Star has caught the attention of the higher-ups, and they won’t let this go easily," Su Qing assured her, lamenting how this assassination attempt had turned into a severe criminal incident, challenging the security of Capital Star and spurring an intensive investigation.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu found little comfort. She knew Qin Shu was behind this, but the Qin Family would definitely not surrender Qin Shu, and the ultimate result of the investigation would just implicate a fall guy from the Qin Family.
But after this incident, Qin Shu wouldn’t dare act recklessly like now.
