Chapter 300 The Protection Mission
In the speeding car, Liu Ran's face was pale. She bit her lip tightly. Despite her fear, she made no sound. She worried that her cries would affect Chen Yang's driving, or cause him to make wrong decisions because of her.
It wasn't until the car had sped away for a long distance that Liu Ran slightly relaxed.
Chen Yang's expression was calm. He smiled at Liu Ran and said, "Wife, don't be so nervous. It's all settled, just a small matter."
Liu Ran swallowed and loosened her grip, her fingers turning pale from clenching too tightly.
Liu Ran turned to Chen Yang, her voice trembling, "Chen Yang, those people just now... they had guns. They wanted to capture me. Why? Because of money?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "They deliberately shouted out their purpose, so it's clearly not about money. But wife, you don't have to worry. No matter what their purpose is for wanting to capture you, they won't succeed."
"After all, I'm here as the security captain! Don't worry, I'll have my subordinates continue investigating this matter and won't let them escape."
Liu Ran nodded. Recalling the scene just now, her eyes suddenly lit up. She said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, before, I only knew you were a good driver. But just now, I discovered your driving skills are simply divine!"
"And this second-hand car is too amazing! Did you really buy it for a hundred thousand yuan? Your friend must be losing too much money."
Hearing this, Chen Yang laughed heartily and said, "Of course it was a hundred thousand yuan. How much do you think a domestic second-hand car can sell for?"
"Anyway, wife, you don't need to worry about these things."
"I suspect those people are connected to the people at the banquet."
"After all, they knew precisely you were at the banquet and accurately predicted the time we would leave. So I suspect there was an inside informant from the banquet."
Liu Ran nodded. She hesitated whether to call the police. After thinking for a few minutes, Liu Ran finally said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, this matter can't be taken lightly. I think we should still call the police!"
"Since their target was me, maybe next time they'll come directly to our home. How about I call my cousin and ask her to investigate? Maybe she can find some clues?"
Chen Yang wanted to refuse. After all, Liu Ran's cousin was Lin Yueyu's cousin, that good-for-nothing Meng Qingxue.
A woman like Meng Qingxue, apart from occupying a position without doing any work, was utterly incapable. To track down those assassins, they still had to rely on the people from the Heavenly Doctor Hall.
Chen Yang hesitated and said, "I think cousin seems quite busy. How about we just..."
Liu Ran immediately waved her hand and said, "No, no, Chen Yang. Because we were in the car just now, and because this car is very good, we were able to escape. What if we were walking next time?"
"In short, we can't be careless. It's decided."
Then Liu Ran immediately took out her phone. She didn't call the police but directly dialed Meng Qingxue's number.
Liu Ran deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of the situation. Then she said, "Cousin, I'm worried this will happen again. You must help me investigate thoroughly."
"Also, can you send someone to protect us? What if the target isn't just me, but also Chen Yang and Su Ya? And Liu Xiaomei! I have a feeling this is not simple."
On the other end, Meng Qingxue yawned and said, "Ms. Liu, I understand. I will definitely take your matter seriously."
"Alright, I'll immediately hand this case over to our boss. He'll investigate the results as quickly as possible. As for protecting you, I'll do it myself."
Meng Qingxue hung up the phone directly.
At the police station, Meng Qingxue's eyes lit up. Of course, she disliked trouble, but she had been bothered to death at work these past few days.
She had inexplicably earned merit twice before, which left her in a state of utter exhaustion. Now, she finally had a chance to escape from the unit.
Meng Qingxue rushed into Shen Chong's office and said rapidly, "Boss Shen, something bad has happened. Qingzhou City's famous entrepreneur, Liu Ran, was almost kidnapped by robbers."
Hearing this, Shen Chong was startled and stood up abruptly. "What? Such a thing happened? Quickly, quickly, prepare to dispatch the police."
Meng Qingxue waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, Boss Shen. It was a near success, but it didn't succeed. They were driving a car with excellent performance and managed to escape."
"But those robbers numbered more than twenty, carrying grenades, handguns, and submachine guns. They were clearly very professional. This group of robbers is definitely famous assassins."
"So, I request to personally protect Liu Ran and the founder of Yangyangyang Company. I won't leave their side until the robbers are caught, okay?"
Shen Chong was sweating profusely. After hearing Meng Qingxue's description, he felt cold sweat all over his back. If this matter had really succeeded and Liu Ran had been kidnapped, his position would be over.
Shen Chong quickly said, "Good, good, Xiao Meng. Thank you for your fearless spirit at this time. Then quickly arrange manpower to protect Liu Ran and the others. I will immediately lead people to investigate this case and will not let any of the culprits escape."
Shen Chong said and hurried out, leading his men to the scene of the crime.
After all, he felt from Meng Qingxue's description that the number of robbers was too large and their equipment was sophisticated. If such a group were to commit evil in Qingzhou City, they could wreak havoc on half of Qingzhou City.
Meng Qingxue, on the other hand, smiled smugly. She immediately threw all her files onto the table and secretly cheered in her heart: Freedom, finally freedom! I can finally leave my desk openly. It was too miserable, I was really busy to death before.
Meng Qingxue didn't give others a chance to stop her. She grabbed her phone, handgun, and small bag, and drove straight to Liu Ran's villa.
On the way, Meng Qingxue also called Lin Yueyu over.
Inside the villa.
As soon as Chen Yang and Liu Ran entered the villa, Su Ya, who had just showered, was sitting in the living room watching TV in a sheer nightgown.
Seeing Chen Yang and Liu Ran return, she beckoned and said, "Did the investment attraction banquet have any results today? I guess there were no results at all. Weren't you just surrounded by a bunch of old men with nothing accomplished, hahaha..."
Su Ya laughed while eating sunflower seeds.
Liu Ran quickly walked to Su Ya's side, her voice nervous, "Su Ya, when we left the banquet today, there were many people with guns who wanted to abduct us."
"Fortunately, Chen Yang's driving skills were excellent, and he knocked those kidnappers away, so we managed to escape back safely."
"I'm afraid those kidnappers won't give up and will continue to abduct me, or even you. It seems we'll have to be extremely careful from now on when commuting."
Su Ya was stunned upon hearing this. She suddenly put down the sunflower seeds in her hand and asked in surprise, "How could this happen? When did Qingzhou City produce so many brazen people?"
As the two women were talking, the villa door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
Then, Meng Qingxue and Lin Yueyu entered, carrying two large bags.
Meng Qingxue threw the bags on the ground, then cheered, raising her arms and saying, "Freedom, great! I'm finally free! I can finally leave the unit openly and sleep here."
Meng Qingxue said, jumping onto the sofa. She eagerly took out her phone and called a bunch of elementary school teammates, entering the King's Canyon to start her Honor of Kings career.
