The middle-aged police officer wanted to get into the car for a check, so Si Huang had to get out with Qin Fan.
The man took off his shirt and, without giving Si Huang a chance to refuse, covered her head, obscuring most of her face and providing some shelter from the rain.
The middle-aged officer, seeing this, thought to himself that the master and servant had a really good relationship; it didn’t seem like a simple employer-employee relationship, but rather something that had been cultivated since childhood.
Not wanting a child to be out in the rain for too long, he carefully and quickly searched the car.
Soul01, being highly praised by Simon and favored by Qin Fan, and doing business with Simon, naturally possessed special abilities.
It wasn’t just about being able to evade scanning; after disassembling it, it looked like ordinary parts, a toy model.
Si Huang deliberately scattered these parts throughout the car, and the middle-aged officer, occasionally noticing them, never suspected that these exquisitely crafted, silver-white parts were firearms.
After the inspection, the middle-aged police officer completely dispelled his suspicions about Si Huang. He then got out of the car and gestured for them to return, without mentioning the driver’s license issue.
Si Huang gave him a grateful smile, then, with Qin Fan’s help, returned to the back seat. As she got in, she noticed someone’s gaze fixed on her from a short distance away.
Si Huang glanced over seemingly casually and saw that the person looking at her was one of the criminals already apprehended by the police.
The bald man had blood on his face from hitting a sharp object, and his bloodied eyes were fierce and cold— clearly a desperate criminal.
Si Huang was certain that the others hadn’t seen her make a move, at most only harboring suspicion; the arrested criminals were different.
To aim at their car, she needed to be in a straight line with it at a certain position, a line that would most likely be caught in their rearview mirror, even if it was just a flash of light.
To the criminal’s malicious gaze, Si Huang slightly curled her lips, revealing an equally cold and disgusted look, silently saying: Goodbye.
The thug’s menacing eyes instantly burned with rage.
Unfortunately, Si Huang was already inside the car.
She tossed the soaking wet men’s shirt to Qin Fan in the driver’s seat, “Just wipe yourself off for now.”
Qin Fan casually wiped the water droplets off his own shirt, tossed the shirt on the floor, and started the engine.
Si Huang, as before, climbed back into the passenger seat from the back.
Qin Fan glanced at her, “Acting like a little lamb.”
Si Huang replied with a smile, “You’re not bad either. If you don’t want to stay in the army anymore, you can go into the entertainment industry. I’ll give you a boost.”
Qin Fan grinned, then asked something else, “Why did you bring a gun to pick someone up at the airport?”
“This isn’t China; gun control isn’t strict,” Si Huang said, using today’s events as an example, “See, it’s come in handy now.”
“It’s good to bring it.” Qin Fan thought about the recent events in Italy. Although normally it shouldn’t involve Si Huang, it was better to be safe than sorry.
“Slow down,” Si Huang suddenly said.
Qin Fan saw the car accident scene ahead and knowingly slowed down.
This was the original scene of the car accident. The luxury sedan had been wrecked by the modified sports car. Bloodstains, not yet cleaned up, were still visible on the ground. One trail suggested a person had been dragged along by the car, eventually leading to a woman’s corpse.
The woman’s lower body was mangled beyond recognition; one leg was missing. Her internal organs were visible, crushed from her upper body. Her face was covered in blood, but one could still discern that she was young, her long black hair soaked in blood.
She was clearly dead beyond any doubt. In the car ahead lay the bodies of a driver and two men who appeared to be bodyguards.
They hadn’t been killed in the accident; Si Huang noticed they all had gunshot wounds.
The car slowly drove past, inconspicuous like any other vehicle leaving the area.
“Let’s go to the city to buy you a phone,” Qin Fan’s voice broke the silence in the car.
“Okay,” Si Huang agreed, banishing the fleeting thoughts that crossed her mind.
While these two were enjoying their date without a care in the world, Yu Xi was incredibly busy. Even abroad, as Si Huang’s only agent, everyone in the industry knew that to get Si Huang to come, you had to go through Yu Xi first, so his work never stopped.
Unfortunately, at this crucial moment, Si Huang’s phone was destroyed and unreachable. Yu Xi had to handle everything alone. On one hand, he was happy for Si Huang’s immense popularity; his professional success gave him a great sense of accomplishment and excitement. On the other hand, he felt his mind was about to collapse. “Damn it, couldn’t you guys come over a few days at a time? You’re all rushing here like you’re trying to be reborn! Would it kill you to let me rest a bit?!”
For a moment, Yu Xi even had the urge to do what Si Huang did and deliberately break his phone to rest. However, it was just a thought. In reality, he maintained his increasingly cold and sophisticated demeanor, answering everyone’s questions with utmost seriousness.
