Chapter 735 - Ming Zhi Yis Retaliation (1/2)
Since Xiong Zhi finished her mission, she could finally relax. She thoroughly enjoyed herself with Linfeng's company until the end of the event.
But she seemed to be forgetting something.
What was it?
A faint sound of thunder rolling came to their ears.
Linfeng looked up. ”The skies are dark, it will rain later.”
Xiong Zhi: ”Is there another storm coming?”
Linfeng: ”There was a low-pressure area nearby detected yesterday. It is expected to turn into a storm.”
Linfeng helped Xiong Zhi get into the car and before sitting beside her. Their car drove forward, followed by two more black cars filled with the Xiong family's bodyguards.
Xiong Zhi pulled out her phone and called Gu Zhen.
The man answered languidly. ”They completed their missions very well.”
”Did you get what we are looking for in Ethan's phone?”
”Yes. As expected of an Abromich, his security walls and locks are quite tight. But I managed to crack them. I have the details here with me. You can get it from me by tomorrow. You have to prepare the payment then.”
Tang Yin did a good job.
She answered, ”Alright. I'll send the amount to your account tonight.”
Linfeng, who was beside Xiong Zhi, looked at the two cars where the Xiong bodyguards were riding. Their distance was not quite right.
Linfeng's eyes flashed sharply.
He asked, ”Mr. Ji, do you know the two drivers of the teams we went with today?”
(A/N: You guys still remember our lovely driver right who first appeared in chapter 17 and so on, right? Yeah, that Mr. Ji. Xiong Zhi's personal driver.)
Mr. Ji looked at the two black cars reflected in the side mirror. ”Yes, I do know them personally.”
”How long has it been since you last personally saw them today?”
Mr. Ji recalled his memory. ”I last saw them today after the first break. They went to have a smoke while I was guarding our car.”
”So you did not see them personally getting into the car before we went, correct?”
Mr. Ji: ”No, Sir Zhou. I drove the car in the area first to pick you two up.”
Linfeng nodded. ”Can you honk twice?”
Mr. Ji finally noticed something. In the Xiong family's insider rules for drivers, they have secret signals. It was implemented by Linfeng.
Honking twice was a signal meant to 'identify' yourself. It was both an alarm and confirmation, meaning that there must be an enemy in their midst, most likely in one of the bodyguard's cars. The other teams had to honk three times in order to verify that they were the Xiong family's drivers.
However, after Mr. Ji sounded the car horn twice, the expected reaction from the other side was wrong.
The car on the left side only beeped twice, while the other one did not honk at all.
Linfeng and Mr. Ji both turned serious.
Thunder rolled in the dark sky, followed by a flash of lightning.
Xiong Zhi, who had finished her phone call, noticed their expressions. ”What's the matter?”
Linfeng held her hand. ”The two cars which are supposed to be our bodyguards' seemed to have been replaced by someone else's.”
”An enemy?” Xiong Zhi's face turned serious, too.
An ominous feeling rose in her.
What was it? She seemed to have forgotten something.
”There is a big chance.” Linfeng squeezed her hand. ”But don't worry, I trust Mr. Ji's driving skill.”
