Chapter 40 - Qiao Nian Fell into the Sea

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang’s Pharmaceuticals were in the suburbs of the imperial capital. Qiao Nian drove fast along the road. The scenery zipped past her. 

The gate of Jiang’s Pharmaceuticals was tightly shut. It was impossible to see what was going on inside. Qiao Nian pressed the car horn. A security guard came out of the booth. He was wearing a huge mask. The mask and the hat on his head covered his face completely. 

The security guard was slightly limping as he slowly approached Qiao Nian step by step. Just as he was about to reach Qiao Nian’s car, Qiao Nian suddenly felt that something was wrong! 

Something was very wrong! She was worried and confused. How could she not have thought that Mr. Yu had everything under control? This guy was obviously not on her side. 

Qiao Nian calmed herself down. She wanted to see what tricks this man was up to. She quietly shifted the car to reverse gear. 

“Get out of the car!” The security guard knocked on the window with his left hand and said in a muffled voice. 

The moment Qiao Nian pretended to press down the car window, she could clearly see the back of the security guard from the reflection of the glass of the guard booth behind him. His right hand was muscular and his beard was bushy. Blue veins could be seen on his face. In his hand, he was holding a shiny silver blade! 

At that moment, Qiao Nian slammed her foot down on the accelerator. The car quickly made a turn around the security guard and drove off in the opposite direction! 

Seeing that he had been exposed, the man stopped pretending to be a security guard. He whipped out a dagger and threw it at Qiao Nian’s car tires. Qiao Nian could see everything clearly from the rearview mirror. She turned around and the dagger cut into her car, making a sharp sound. 

At that moment, the eight cars that had been parked casually by the side of the road roared at the same time. They surrounded Qiao Nian’s car tightly in the middle. 

The assassin, who was disguised as the security guard, quickly climbed onto the roof of her car and roared to his eight companions. “Miss said that the reward for killing her is 100 million!” 

All of this happened in a flash, and Qiao Nian had no time to think about it. She relied on her instincts as a former race car driver to calm herself down and calculate how she was going to break out of the encirclement. 

There was no time for her to wait! She listened to her instincts and chose the northwest corner, where there was an angle of space between the two cars. 

Qiao Nian crashed into the two cars! The huge impact caused the two cars in the northwest corner to fly back several meters and crash heavily into the wall. 

Qiao Nian’s car flew up one meter and landed heavily on the ground. The force of the fall shook the killer off the roof of her car. Qiao Nian’s car sped towards the northwest without any hesitation! 

The remaining six cars saw Qiao Nian escape and chased after her with a roar and sped after her on the deserted road next to the Jiang’s Pharmaceuticals! 

If any of Nian CI’s fans saw this scene, they would definitely recognize it. This was Nian CI’s most famous stunt— the Escape of the Golden Cicada! 

It was still not fast enough! If she had her car, Capricorn, here, she would definitely be able to break out of the trap. 

The car drove along the seaside highway. Qiao Nian was surprised to recognize that not far from this road was the place where her parents had fallen into the sea back then! 

She smiled self-deprecatingly at herself. She would die before she could even save her mother. 

The cliff was right in front of her. Seeing that she had nowhere to run, the cars that were chasing her gradually slowed down. Qin Yang had equipped her car with a Bluetooth phone. Qiao Nian dialed his number at the last moment. 

“Qiao Nian, did you miss me?” Qin Yang’s lazy voice came from the other end of the line. 

“I’m being chased by someone, right at the place where my mother fell off the cliff. If I’m not wrong, the person who sent people to chase me was your sweet fiancée, Miss Anna!” 

Qiao Nian said anxiously and quickly, “Qin Yang, if I die, you must save my mother and take care of Mo Mo until she grows up! Otherwise, I will haunt you forever!” 

They were less than a hundred meters away from the cliff. Qiao Nian stepped on the accelerator even harder. “Qin Yang—” her voice was choked with sobs. “You’re right, I like you too!” 

“Qiao Nian—” Qin Yang shouted loudly. The only response he got was the whistling of the wind and the roar of a car..
