Chapter 478-479

Chapter 478: In The Same Boat 　 “Chairman Han, you know what status Young Marshal Mu has. I’m just an ordinary person. Do you think I have the ability to order him to do things? You overestimate me!” Han Yaotian’s face froze. “I didn’t mean that. I was worried too.” Yun Xi sneered, “Moreover, the other party came for you, so it has nothing to do with us. Both my classmate and I were dragged into the mess because of you. Young Marshal Mu coming to our rescue would be a huge favor, but if he doesn’t come it’s perfectly understandable as well. As long as we don’t go out, we’re safe inside this car.” Her comforting words were totally unable to calm down Han Yaotian, and even Li Sinuo became increasingly anxious and irritable. 　 　 Upon seeing that Yun Xi was still so calm, she became livid with anger. “Yun Xi, stop being sarcastic as if this has nothing to do with you. Everyone is now in the same boat. You should also help us find a way! If we really get kidnapped, it won’t do you any good either!” “What can I do? Are telling me to go out? What a joke!” “Then call Young Marshal Mu again.” As soon as Li Sinuo finished speaking, she saw several cars ramming towards their way from outside. The loud crash caused Li Sinuo to panic. Screaming loudly, Li Sinuo held her head and hid under the seat. Looking at the bodyguards dodging outside, Yun Xi sat quietly, then turned to the bodyguard who was sitting on the driver’s seat and said, “Their target is Chairman Han. Let the car in front of you get out of the way. Let’s leave!” The bodyguard snapped back to reality and through the headset, he hurriedly issued the order to the bodyguard in the other car. The car in front just gave way, and the car Yun Xi was in hadn’t even driven two meters before two cars quickly drove out of the bushes from both sides of the road and slammed into them! With two bangs, the two cars on the left and right slammed into the door. They directly jammed Han Yaotian’s car and blocked their way in a domineering and brutal manner. The impact of the collision was too great, and Yun Xi happened to be sitting in the passenger seat. The strong impact force knocked her aside! 　 　 There was a tingling painful sensation in her arms! The car was forced to stop. From the left and right, a group of people rushed out of the car while dragging heavy hammers in their hands. Han Yaotian couldn’t keep his calm when he saw the group of people with masks over their faces. “Yun Xi, where’s Young Marshal Mu? Why hasn’t he come yet!” “How would I know!” Clutching her arm, Yun Xi replied angrily. Outside the passenger seat’s car window, a masked man with a hammer began to smash the dented car door. Curled up under the seat of the car, Li Sinuo heard the sound of someone smashing the glass. She raised her head and saw that the window glass was cracked like spider webs. “Ah” Li Sinuo screamed while holding her head. When the masked man who smashed the window outside the passenger seat heard the scream, he paused. Yun Xi perceptively noticed the hesitation in his movements. She unlocked the car door, bent her leg and kicked him hard. The man outside was forcefully hit by the opened car door as soon as he lifted the hammer, and the lifted hammer fell to the ground with a bang. Yun Xi seized the opportunity to rush out of the car and slammed onto the door. Just as she was about to get the knife on the ground, a knife was placed beside her neck. “Don’t move!” Yun Xi retracted her hand, then raised both hands and stood up. Upon seeing her, Lin Sen narrowed his eyes. His sharp knife pressed against Yun Xi’s neck, and he threatened in a low voice, “Let Han Yaotian come down, or I’ll kill you first!” Yun Xi tugged the corners of her mouth. “Brother, you overestimate me. As for whether or not Chairman Han wants to come down, you have to ask him!” With that said, Yun Xi raised her hand and tapped on the glass window of the back seat. “Chairman Han, this man is looking for you!” 　 *** Chapter 479: Selfishness 　 Sitting in the car, Han Yaotian was holding onto the door nervously while looking at Yun Xi, who was standing outside with a man holding a knife to her neck. He was in a dilemma. Through the window, he could see Yun Xi standing with her head held high. Under the dim light, her eyes were calm and tranquil. In those eyes, he didn’t see the slightest hints of fear or terror. As a little girl, she could be so brave and fearless. But he, a grown man, was hiding in the car and waiting for others to protect him. For a moment, he felt extremely ashamed in comparison to the resilient little girl outside the car window. 　 　 Not wanting to hide anymore, he raised his hand to open the door, but Li Sinuo yanked him back when he touched the handle. “Chairman Han, don’t open that door. You’ll be dead meat if you get out. Their target is you, not Yun Xi. They won’t hurt her anyway. Just let her be the bait to prolong the delay. As soon as Young Marshal Mu arrives, we’ll be saved.” Han Yaotian glanced at Yun Xi outside the car, then shook off Li Sinuo’s hand. Her selfishness and Yun Xi’s bravery instantly formed a sharp contrast in his mind. “No! I can’t abandon Miss Yun.” If he really hid in the car at this time, Yun Xi would probably despise him for life. There would be no chance of anything between him and her ever again in the future, and he shouldn’t expect to have any excuse to approach her. If he still wanted to use her to get close to Young Marshal Mu and form close relationships with the Jiang family and the Chen family in the future, that would be a daydream. As long as he stalled for time until Young Marshal Mu arrived, there was still a chance. Before Li Sinuo could say anything more, he opened the door and got out of the car. In response to Han Yaotian’s pretentiously feigned heroism at this moment, Yun Xi felt that she really had to reexamine Han Yaotian’s forbearance threshold. Had it not been for his self-interest in keeping her as a friend, Han Yaotian would never have cared about her life or death. 　 　 When Han Yaotian got out of the car, Lin Sen stretched out his hand quickly as he continued to clasp Yun Xi’s neck tightly, still aiming his knife at her neck. “Chairman Han, you are very well aware of our intentions. Hand over the list and the batch of goods.” “The list and the goods aren’t in my hands anymore. What are you asking me to hand in?” “Who else’s hands could they be in besides yours? It won’t be that easy for your Han family to burn bridges after crossing the river.” “The list is now in Young Marshal Mu’s hands. If you want the list, you have to find Young Marshal Mu. There’s no use in asking me.” “Stop talking nonsense. Call Young Marshal Mu and ask him to send the list, otherwise you will all die.” “Yun Xi...” Han Yaotian hesitated and looked at Yun Xi. He didn’t have Young Marshal Mu’s contact information, and, even if he did, Young Marshal Mu might not answer him. “I have sent a message to Young Marshal Mu. He...he will be here soon...” Yun Xi shrugged, moving Lin Sen’s arm that was holding the knife a bit, and then she seized the opportunity to make a few gestures in the dim night. Lin Sen thought she had summoned her rescuers over. His eyes grew cold, and the knife against her neck pushed in closer. He opened his mouth to threaten her, “Call again, and tell him that he can only come here alone. If I see him with anyone else, you both will die.” “Okay, I’ll call.” Yun Xi pretended to tremble as she took out her phone from her pocket and called Mu Feichi. In the forest not that far away, Li Zilan was looking at the figure being held by Lin Sen on the highway through binoculars. She commanded Feng Rui, “There are six targets. The three on the left will be for you to deal with, and three on the right will be for me to deal with.” As far as close combat was concerned, taking care of these people would be no problem. Feng Rui turned his head and glanced at her. “What about Lin Sen? Didn’t you see that he has our Young Marshal Mu’s darling as a hostage?” If that girl got injured, even the slightest bit, there was no way Young Marshal Mu wouldn’t be enraged.
