Chapter 374: After the 374th, whenever you see , act humbly! [2 more updates] Chapter 374: After the 374th, whenever you see , act humbly! [2 more updates] The sudden sound of clapping and voices startled everyone with a jolt.
The brown-haired, blue-eyed woman spun around swiftly, her pupils contracting sharply when she saw the owner of the voice was a girl with an Eastern face.
She had never t Ye Wanlan, but she would not fail to recognize soone from Shenzhou.
“Looks like several hours have passed, and you still haven’t figured it out,” Ye Wanlan walked into the warehouse at her own pace, “How about I give you a few more days to see if you can find out how to make Kesi Silk?”
As she expected, the three Shenzhou Kesi silks had not been destroyed in the big fire. Instead, they’d been stolen by soone with an agenda from the fashion show.
The organizers might not know soone had stolen them, but they hadn’t even thought to investigate the cause of the fire.
In places where technology is highly developed and advancing rapidly, it’s much easier to investigate matters.
If this had been a deep forest with no surveillance equipnt, she might have hit a wall.
But the entire Global Center was equipped with surveillance caras everywhere.
With Ye Wanlan’s abilities, even if these recordings were deleted, she could recover them.
These people thought they could deceive the heavens and cross the sea, not knowing that everything was on her chessboard.
Ye Wanlan’s words made several people change their expressions, filled with anger and, more so, embarrassnt.
Since they had acquired the three pieces of Shenzhou Kesi silk, they had been observing them, but indeed, they had found no point that they could replicate.
So they had planned to hire Shenzhou craftsn at a high price to co to the Global Center to work for them.
It was said that in small cities in Shenzhou there were many such artisans who would spend their lives unrecognized and frustrated.
Conveniently, these craftsn were just what they needed.
“Little girl, what sort of joke are you telling?” As soon as the brown-haired, blue-eyed woman realized Ye Wanlan was alone, she scoffed, “I admire your courage and wisdom, but this is not a place for you!”
She acknowledged that Pulling the Sky Company had exceptional capabilities; the company had caught the public eye within just half a year of its establishnt.
But Pulling the Sky had been around for too short a ti and did not have enough international connections. How could it compete with established top brands?
Ye Wanlan ignored the comnt and calmly said, “Too bad, even with three years, you wouldn’t be able to replicate our Shenzhou technology.”
“Shut your mouth! Do you really think this is Shenzhou?” The brown-haired, blue-eyed woman was enraged, “When you et here, you should learn to prostrate on the ground!”
The life of an ordinary person was indeed worthless in the Global Center, let alone a person from Shenzhou. Even if they died, no one would know.
“Bang!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a bullet burst out of a gun barrel and flew straight towards Ye Wanlan’s brow.
It was one of the new model handguns released by the Global Center this year, known for its small recoil, but the bullets exploded out at high velocity.
With an ordinary person’s reaction ti, it would be absolutely impossible to dodge a fatal shot.
This clueless Shenzhou woman was as good as dead!
However, the blood-spattered scene the group had anticipated failed to materialize.
Ye Wanlan just slightly tilted her head and dodged the bullet.
The airflow surged past, but her black hair didn’t stir in the slightest.
Then, in a split second, with a “click,” Ye Wanlan lifted her foot and stamped the gunman onto the floor.
“Crack!”
The handgun ended up in Ye Wanlan’s hand, and with two crisp snaps, the brown-haired, blue-eyed woman’s body stiffened.
The cold touch against her brow, she could clearly see Ye Wanlan’s index finger already on the trigger.
Just a slight press was all it would take to end her life.
The brown-haired, blue-eyed woman felt a chilling terror enveloping her heart like a serpent, leaving her breathless.
Beyond the fear, what baffled her more was disbelief.
She hadn’t seen how this unexpected Shenzhou woman had moved; how had the situation completely flipped in the blink of an eye?
Ye Wanlan smiled briefly, then the smile faded, and she said coldly, “I’ll return those words to you. In the future, when you see , be the one to kneel on the ground!”
“Bang!”
The brown-haired, blue-eyed woman’s legs gave out, and she dropped to her knees.
Her gaze turned empty, her eardrums bled from the burst of air, and her complexion was as pale as paper.
That shot…
Ye Wanlan withdrew the gun, her expression indifferent: “With such little courage, you dared to take away Kesi silk?”
The others had also fallen to the ground, their eyes filled with terror.
If all Shenzhou people were this capable, could the Global Center still be so brazen?
Ye Wanlan walked forward, took down the three pieces of Kesi silk hanging on the wall, and spoke lightly, “Thankfully, my calculations were not wrong; they did not get stained with filthy blood.”
“Miss Ye!” The sound of hurried footsteps arrived, and Bing He, out of breath, ran in, “Miss Ye, that was too fast, too swift, you’ve got to leave us and the boss so room to act.”
Upon learning of the fire at the fashion show and the destruction of the garnts, Yan Tingfeng had also imdiately dispatched them to investigate.
Who would have guessed that by the ti they arrived here, Ye Wanlan had already resolved the situation?
“No, it’s perfect timing,” Ye Wanlan turned, “They are now your responsibility. Since the rules of Global Center are not so strict, we don’t need to follow them to the letter either.”
Bing He readily agreed, “Alright, no problem. I’ll have the brothers from Extre Path co over right away.”
Ye Wanlan paused in her step, raising an eyebrow, “Extre Path?”
“After Extre Path helped us out last ti, we got in touch with them,” Bing He said gleefully, “Extre Path loves dealing with people who bully the weak and fear the strong. To deal with these kinds of people, you have to use even more overbearing thods.”
Extre Path!
These words exploded like a thunderclap next to the ears of the brown-haired, blue-eyed woman and her subordinates!
At that mont, the group was thoroughly panicked.
In the Global Center, who didn’t know the na of Extre Path?
How could these people from Shenzhou have connections with Extre Path?!
“Good,” Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, “Local matters should be left to the locals, indeed the most appropriate.”
She placed the three pieces of Kesi silk into a box, secured it, and walked straight out the door.
Christine was still squatting next to the motorcycle, looking a bit pale.
Seeing Ye Wanlan co out, she let out a long breath, “Your driving is truly terrifying.”
She hadn’t ever seen soone drive like that.
If Ye Wanlan hadn’t given her dicine to suppress her motion sickness in advance, she’d probably have been dead on the back seat by now.
“If you’d told earlier that you get motion sickness, I could have cured you sooner,” Ye Wanlan reached out, pressing a few acupoints on Christine’s body, “But there’s still ti, and I’ll make sure you can overco it completely before I leave.”
“It’s a problem, but it doesn’t affect much, so I never thought to ntion it,” Christine shook her head helplessly, “Mainly because no one has been able to force to ride for so many years.”
Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, “The way back is resolved, so the ride will be much smoother. You can completely relax riding with .”
Christine: “…”
She rembered Ye Wanlan’s unearthly driving style and didn’t feel very reassured.
“Did you find them all?” Christine asked as she watched Ye Wanlan secure the box onto the motorcycle, “Indeed, a thod not ant for the public eye.”
“Mhm,” Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, “Next, it’s ti to collect debts from the organizers.”
She wasn’t soone who tolerated insults lightly.
To endure for a ti would not only fail to calm the waters but encourage others to push further.
Then let it be a showdown.
On the trip back, Ye Wanlan indeed drove very steadily, and when Christine’s feet finally hit the ground again, the feeling seed almost unreal to her.
She had survived.
“You were curious about our company’s designers, right?” Ye Wanlan smiled, “They’ve all co this ti; you can et them.”
Christine nodded.
She followed Ye Wanlan, but before they took two steps, Ye Wanlan grabbed her hand, “We’re not going through the front door; those who want to catch you haven’t left yet.”
“If not through the front door, then through—”
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a lightness of being as Ye Wanlan leaped with her to a higher floor.
Ye Wanlan opened the window and jumped into the living room.
Her dramatic entrance stunned Fang Qingli, Jiang Xulin, and Zhou Yixiang.
“Lan, Sister Lan…” Fang Qingli stuttered, “You, you just ca through the window, the window…”
“It’s quite convenient and doesn’t require waiting for the elevator,” Ye Wanlan dusted off, “Brought a friend over, let introduce you.”
Friend?
Their gazes converged behind Ye Wanlan.
Christine also easily jumped down, greeting them with a nod, “Hello, nice to et you for the first ti. I’m Kristin Constans, this is a little sothing for you.”
