Chapter 38-CEO novel (18)

Vrrrooooom! Vrrrooooom!

Bang! Bang!

A large number of cars were racing on the road, no, it was more accurate to say that the cars were all chasing after one target while occasionally firing gunshots.

“En. I’m sorry but I’ll have to trouble you, Qingyi.” Gu Anran hung up the phone and looked at the rearview mirror to see the sleeping person securely fastened to the back seat.

Gu Anran was currently hiding in the shadows, the car parked in an area covered by darkness. She took a deep breath and rubbed her temples. The situation was worse than she had imagined. There were cars lurking around everywhere and that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was that the enemy was familiar with the terrain here and easily kept up with them while firing the guns in their hands. Then there were the five enemy snipers that were still hiding out there, waiting for the right opportunity to kill her.

The car was already full of bullet holes. If this continues, they won’t get caught first. No, if they rush out right now, she was afraid the car would be destroyed first.

She glanced down at the newly opened wound on her right shoulder. It was a small wound compared to her other injuries. She could no longer feel her left foot, as her thigh was hit when she had placed Mu Qingli in the back and climbed into the driver’s seat. The bullet had cleanly penetrated her thigh and Gu Anran could only give herself some simple treatment by tying a piece of cloth around it. However, that cloth was already soaked through with blood.

No, no, no! No matter what, I have to escort Qingli out safely.

Checking the route on her phone, she saw if she could just make another turn around the bend she could meet up with Hong Qingyi and make it to safety….

Good! Let’s do this!

She stepped hard on the accelerator and the car rushed out from its hiding sport while a new chase began.

“Little…Ran…” Mu Qingli was shaken awake by the fierce shaking. However, this was expected. Under this intense chase, for her to not have been bruised and battered was already good enough.

Blinking her blurry eyes, Mu Qingli was wide awake within a second as she struggled to untie the cloth tying her down.

“Little Ran, what’s going on!” Mu Qingli hadn’t even finished speaking when Gu Anran made a wide turn, causing her to hit against the car door.

“You’re awake, Qingli?” Only then did Gu Anran notice that Mu Qingli had woken up.

“Just what is going on….” Mu Qingli placed a hand on the back of the seat in front of her and tried to prop herself up.

“Wait, don’t get up!” Gu Anran shouted, causing Mu Qingli to freeze and duck back down. At the same time, a series of gunshots sounded.

“Uh!” Although the car was equipped with bulletproof glass, it couldn’t endure a long period of continuous shots. The glass was already cracked in many places and would probably shatter after a few more rounds.

Furthermore, in order to avoid snipers, she couldn’t rush forward in the straight line but swerved irregularly from side to side to avoid their bullets.

“Little Ran, we….” Wait! There’s a bloody smell, a very heavy scent! Could it be…

“Little Ran, are you injured?” Mu Qingli asked in a panic and grabbed Gu Anran’s shoulder.

“Ugh!” Gu Anran’s face twisted. Mu Qingli’s hand just happened to touch the wound on her right shoulder.

“Ah! I’m sorry! Little Ran…are you alright?” Mu Qingli thought she was gripping too hard due to her adrenaline and quickly let go.

“No…It’s nothing. I just got scratched accidentally, nothing to worry about…” Gu Anran comforted.

“Huuu….” Mu Qingli let out a sigh of relief after hearing Gu Anran reassure her.

“Qingli, I already called Qingyi and Mengyan to tell them to get the police to surround the area. As long as we hold on a little longer, everything will be fine.

“I understand, you…be careful.”

“I know, I won’t let anything happen to you.” Gu Anran said firmly.

Mu Qingli stared blankly at Gu Anran’s side profile, then slowly lowered her head as the corners of her mouth lifted slightly,

“En.”

Meanwhile,

“Mengyan, are you ready?” Hong Qingyi said as she stared at the street through her binoculars.

“Yes. The police have surrounded the entire area, not a single fish will be able to escape our net unless we let them. In another five minutes, we should have a helicopter fly in to assist us, and the Duan family with some gangs that are hostile to the Peng family are willing to help us as well. Together with the police, we are going to use all our forces to envelop the center and advance into enemy territory.”

“Miss Chi, the five minutes are up. We are ready to advance forward.” A policeman came over and reported.

“Ok, everyone, advance!” Chi Mengyan got into the car and led the advance in the center position.

“Wait, wait, there is a light in front of us! It’s another car! It’s driving straight at us!” Hong Qingyi shouted.

“Everyone, stop and confirm the situation.” Chi Mengyan ordered over the intercom and then turned to Hong Qingyi.

“Can you see the person driving?”

“No…it’s still too far away.” Hong Qingyi squirted through her binoculars. As the car got closer and closer, she saw the familiar figure of her best friend and comrade,

“It’s Anran! Anran is the one driving the car!”

“All forces open up a path for that car, but be ready to immediately fire afterward!”

At Chi Mengyan’s words, the originally watertight blockade immediately opened up a path and the heavily armed policemen readied their guns at the space behind the incoming car.

Shuaaa-

The moment the car passed the blockade, the road was quickly barricaded again and a series of bullets beran raining down fiercely.

Cough, cough….cough….” Mu Qingli opened the door in the back seat and came out coughing.

“Qingli, are you okay?!” Chi Mengyan hurried over and seeing the sorry state Mu Qingli was in, she took off her coat and draped it over her.

“Miss Mu, are you alright?” The police captain also ran over.

“How’s the current situation?” No matter how terrible or horrible she looked, Mu Qingli still carried an air of superiority in her voice.

“We are currently apprehending the criminals one by one and have sent a group of highly specialized men to hunt down the snipers as we speak.” The police captain replied respectfully.

“Good. As you were, captain.” Mu Qingli nodded.

“Weird, where is Little Ran?” Just as Chi Mengyan said that a scream rang out.

“AHHHh! An ambulance, someone call an ambulance!” Hong Qingyi had opened the door to the driver’s seat, only to find Gu Anran passed out and her body covered in blood.

“Anran!” Mu Qingli cried in horror as she ran to the car. How could she have been so stupid to believe Gu Anran’s words that it was only ‘a little scratch’? With such an obvious and heavy scent of blood, it definitely could not have been just a little scratch!

“Wait, Qingli! You can’t touch her! We have to wait for the medical staff or else you might worsen her condition if you try to move her now.” Hong Qingyi said gravely and blocked Mu Qingli from coming closer.

The medical staff soon appeared on the scene and Mu Qingli blankly watched as they lifted Gu Anran into the ambulance. Then she was pulled up into the ambulance with the help of Chi Mengyan and Hong Qingyi.

“She…she’s going to be okay, right?” Mu Qingli held Gu Anran’s uninjured left hand, her tears flowing like a river down her face.

“Of course she’s going to be okay. This woman’s life is even more stubborn and tenacious than a cockroach’s. She must be…she will be okay.” Hong Qingyi said desperately as if she was trying to convince herself.

The three sat outside the operating room and stared at the red light above the door,

One hour….two hour….three hours.

Ding…

Finally, the light in the operating room turned green and the door opened,

“Little Ran…how is the lady inside doing?” Mu Qingli was the first to rush up and she asked frantically while grabbing the doctor’s hand.

“Please calm down. The operation was successful, but because of the excessive blood loss, she is still in a precarious state. However, we have done an emergency blood transfusion, so the patient’s condition is stable, for now. The patient is currently in a coma, but as long as she wakes up, she should be fine.”

“Huuu….” Mu Qingli breathed a sigh of relief.

“What did I say? I told you Anran would be fine! Since everything is fine now, Qingli, you should take a rest.” Hong Qingyi patted Mu Qingli’s shoulders. Mu Qingli’s eyes were bloodshot and clearly different from this morning.

“Mengyan, make sure Anran is taken to the best hospital and given the best medical care possible.” Mu Qingli said.

“I already have it arranged.” Chi Mengyan shook the phone she had just hung up.

“They can transfer Anran over right now.”

“Good. Mengyan, you come with me.” Mu Qingli said as she put on her jacket.

“Huh? Are you not going to check up on her?” Chi Mengyan asked.

“Not until I make those bastards who hurt her pay.” Mu Qingli said icily.

Aiya~ Aiya~ It seems those people have truly angered our Qingli. Tsk, Tsk, they better start praying!

“Little Yi Yi, we will leave Little Ran in your care. We’ll return when we resolve the matter at hand.” Chi Mengyan instructed Hong Qingyi and prepared to follow Mu Qingli out when she was stopped by Hong Qingyi who stuffed a computer chip into her hands.

“This is?”

“This is from Anran. She wanted to give it to you. Inside are all the video surveillance footages from that hotel. She guessed that the other party would try to destroy the evidence as soon as possible so she transferred most of it onto her own device. Now all the evidence is on that chip in your hands.”

“Hehehe, our Little Ran is so smart! Then, I will be leaving first.”

“En…be careful.” Hong Qingyi watched the two disappeared and then entered the hospital ward.

Meanwhile, in the living room of the Mu family, a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa and being embraced by a crying woman. Not too far away, Mu Qingyan pretended to be the perfect daughter as she sat quietly to the side.

“Wuwuwuu, Qingli, so our Qingli likes that Young Master Peng! But with the Peng family like this, what should we do? With the Peng family in that current state of affairs, how can we safeguard Qingli’s happiness!”

“Stepmother, it seems you really do care about me so much. I feel so moved.” Mu Qingli stepped into the room behind them and looked at the woman crying fake tears with disdain.

“You…how are you here….” the woman exclaimed.

“Why can’t I be here?” Mu Qingli raised an eyebrow.

“N-no, I mean, as the matriarch of the Mu family, of course, I am worried for you…” Before the woman could finish, she was interrupted by Mu QIngli.

‘Then I really do have to thank you for your love, but you will soon no longer be a part of this family. You and your daughter.”

“You…”

“Mu Qingli! How dare you use that kind of tone! My mother cared and worried for you and yet you repay her by saying those words!” Mu Qingyan pointed a finger at Mu Qingli and scolded.

“Mengyan, take them out.” Mu Qingli signaled towards Chi Mengyan standing beside her. Chi Mengyan nodded and spread out all the materials in her hand onto the table.

Looking at the photos, the woman’s complexion paled and she forced a smile as she held the middle-aged man’s hand,

“Lun (Mu Qingli’s father is called Mu Lun), this is all fake! I didn’t do anything like that! You must believe me!”

“Hmph! Mu Qingli, I can see that all these photos are photoshopped! Nowadays, it is fairly easy to synthetically create fake photos like these! I just never expected you to be so vicious just so you could drive my mother out! You would even resort to any means to do so.” Mu Qingyan swept the photos of the table with her hands.

“Oh, really? But the man in those photos is your biological father!” Chi Mengyan then slammed down DNA testing results onto the table.

“What did you say?!” Mu Qingyan grabbed the documents before her mother could and looked through all the data.

“This must be fake! It must be! You! It’s you who probably created this fake information to force us out of the Mu family. You’re just scared I’ll take the heiress position from you, right?! You bit*h! You fu*king bit*h!” Mu Qingyan yelled hysterically.

“Whatever you say here is useless. The next time we see each other will be in court. President Mu, you don’t mind, right?” Mu Qingli turned her head towards Mu Lun who did not speak from beginning to end.

“….Do as you see fit.” Mu Lun coldly stood up and walked towards his study.

Mu Qingli smiled mockingly as she watched the woman on the couch who looked like she had lost her soul and Mu Qingyan who followed after Mu Lun to beg for help.

“Let’s go.”

“En.”
