Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Preparation for Accepting Punishnt
Xiao Ting had just stepped out of the partner company’s office when she received Lu Yanchuan’s phone call.
“Xiao Ting, book a flight back ho imdiately. I’ll have Ma Yu escort you back.”
“Return ho? But the project here isn’t finalized yet…”
The sudden demand to return ho baffled Xiao Ting, but Lu Yanchuan didn’t give her the opportunity to dwell in indecision and issued a direct command.
“Postpone the project, co back to the country as soon as possible.”
Lu Yanchuan’s arrangent never required any explanation, and Xiao Ting, albeit stunned for a mont, agreed and headed straight to the airport to book the earliest flight back ho.
Qiao Yi had been listening by the side the whole ti, and only relaxed after knowing that Xiao Ting obediently decided to return ho.
Since Qiao Yi knew that she was the target, she naturally didn’t want to implicate anyone else, not even a stranger claid to be an employee under Lu Yanchuan.
Since the other party had only sent a surreptitiously taken photo of Xiao Ting, it proved that they were only secretly watching Xiao Ting. The only way to completely prevent Xiao Ting from encountering danger was to have her leave this place as soon as possible.
“I’m still a bit worried…”
Qiao Yi sat beside Lu Yanchuan, her hands held by his, yet she was still fidgeting restlessly.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to inspect the cargo warehouse at the pier.”
A deserted warehouse at the pier, demanding Qiao Yi to co alone at half-past ten at night, all seed like typical scenes played out in TV dramas.
After Qiao Yi inford him of the ssage, Lu Yanchuan sent people to the appointed place for inspection, ensuring that anyone showing up at the pier warehouse could not escape from the palm of Lu Yanchuan’s hand.
Hearing Lu Yanchuan’s words, Qiao Yi felt sowhat reassured.
However, what she was nervous about wasn’t what she might encounter at the pier, but the fear of other people around her being hard.
Qiao Yi couldn’t bear the news of any friends or family encountering accidents.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Lu Yanchuan’s n sent news that Xiao Ting had successfully boarded the plane, only then did a big stone in Qiao Yi’s heart finally land on the ground.
“You can stop here, I’ll walk the rest by myself…”
“I’ll go with you.”
Lu Yanchuan never intended to let Qiao Yi go to the eting alone. If his n hadn’t co back empty-handed from the pier warehouse, Lu Yanchuan wouldn’t even let Qiao Yi go there.
Qiao Yi hesitated, “What if they do sothing to soone else because I didn’t do as they wanted?”
“If you do as they wish, the other party may also harm others, and you yourself might be in danger too.”
Lu Yanchuan spoke the truth, leaving Qiao Yi with no room for rebuttal. But coming with so many people in such a high-profile manner, wasn’t that a bit too conspicuous?
As if perceiving Qiao Yi’s concerns, Lu Yanchuan sneered softly.
“If it wasn’t that ti was pressing, I’d bring even more people.”
“Uh…”
Alright, she lost.
The car stopped outside the pier warehouse, and when getting out, Lu Yanchuan still firmly held Qiao Yi’s hand.
The pier was pitch-black, devoid of any light, and suddenly wind blew, stirring sothing that made a rustling sound in the dark night, eerily jarring.
Qiao Yi was startled, almost clinging to Lu Yanchuan’s chest, yet he with a faint smile gently and irresistibly drew her waist close.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Qiao Yi didn’t want to be afraid, but she couldn’t control her own terror, feeling almost petrified.
They hadn’t walked far when so footsteps were heard from behind the abandoned containers.
The hair on Qiao Yi’s skin stood on end, but Lu Yanchuan was as steady as Mount Tai, holding Qiao Yi and calmly waiting for those people to co out.
“Boss, we’ve already searched the whole pier, there’s none here.”
It turned out to be Lu Yanchuan’s n. Qiao Yi let out a sigh of relief, her body also relaxing a bit.
But in the next second, their location suddenly lit up.
Containers were used as projection screens, and a light coming down from the highest container on the right was shining onto the containers on the left, displaying a pre-recorded video.
Lu Yanchuan’s n quickly split into two teams; one stayed behind to protect Lu Yanchuan and Qiao Yi, while the other headed toward the source of the light.
Qiao Yi could not focus on anything else because the projector displayed the video of Feng Siyu being attacked!
The footage showed a man carefully loosening the screws on the safety rope, evading everyone’s sight, and, while putting the harness on Feng Siyu, subtly attached the tampered safety rope.
And what horrified Qiao Yi the most was that after doing all this, the man didn’t leave but stood in the crowd with a smile, watching as Feng Siyu climbed the rock wall, then fell heavily.
Throughout, the man’s smiling face never changed, even making a victorious gesture towards the cara as Feng Siyu fell.
The subsequent footage was what Qiao Yi had already seen in the surveillance video; the man stowed away the safety rope and left the chaotic set openly.
After the video ended, the final image froze on the man smiling provocatively at the cara before getting into a car.
Qiao Yi was shaking with icy fingers and trembling body, unable to imagine what would have happened if Feng Siyu had fallen from a higher spot!
“I knew you wouldn’t co alone, and of course, I don’t plan to et you just yet.”
The projector screen darkened for a mont and then displayed a table and a person in a black cloak.
“Feng Siyu was lucky, but I wonder if others will also be so lucky?”
The cloaked person turned on a voice changer, making it impossible to discern even the gender, let alone identify them!
“Who on earth are you! What exactly do you want to do!”
Qiao Yi sowhat frantically yelled at the projector, she was quite sure she had not made such a deep enemy out of anyone in her twenty-sothing years of life.
The only person who was at odds with her, Qiao Xin, would only face her as an enemy, not employing such insidious tactics!
“You must be very curious about my identity, but I can’t let you know just yet—after all, our ga is just beginning—”
The cloaked person laughed in a prolonged manner, with a tone that seed rather deranged.
After the initial panic, Qiao Yi had cald down.
No matter what, she was the Yiyi who had been in the ga for so many years; now that she knew soone was aiming at her, it was better than being clueless.
The cloaked person laughed maniacally for quite a while before slowly gesturing a shooting motion at the cara.
“Qiao Yi, are you ready to face the consequences?”
