Chen Ke is just following orders; he shouldn’t have to pay with his life for this.
Zimei was momentarily surprised by Ji Wei’s words, then covered her mouth and snickered, "Miss Ji, you’re overthinking it. This is Rongcheng. Even if we’re bold, we wouldn’t dare to openly shoot and kill people here."
Ji Wei was utterly puzzled.
The gun was out. Were they just trying to scare Gu Moqian’s people?
As soon as Ji Wei finished speaking, she saw a man in black in the front row suddenly pull the trigger. Official source is ɴovelfire.net
Even without hearing a loud gunshot, Ji Wei still shivered instinctively. Coming to her senses, she quickly leaned against the car window to look outside.
She saw the car driven by Chen Ke suddenly slow down, and his hands were off the steering wheel as he was vigorously rubbing his eyes.
This didn’t seem like a sign of being shot...
Immediately after, another man in black fired two shots, one missed, and the other hit the driver of the black sedan. And that driver, similar to Chen Ke’s situation, also slowed down abruptly and was quickly left behind by the off-road vehicle.
It wasn’t until the off-road vehicle had gone far and no car followed them from behind that Ji Wei was still a bit puzzled.
So what exactly just happened?
Zimei noticed her confusion and proactively explained, "They weren’t shooting regular bullets, but tear gas."
Ji Wei suddenly understood.
No wonder she saw Chen Ke continuously rubbing his eyes; he probably was tear-stricken from the tear gas attack.
After realizing what had actually happened, Ji Wei also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she didn’t want to involve innocent people.
"How did you guys get hold of something like that?"
Zimei chuckled, "Even more surprising things await you, Miss Ji. This journey won’t be peaceful. Are you really ready? It’s not too late to regret now."
Ji Wei was stunned for a moment before shaking her head, her expression firm, "No, I will never regret today’s decision."
If she could never see Gu Moqian again, that’s what she would regret for all her life.
Zimei, seeing the determination and resolve in Ji Wei’s eyes, was momentarily moved, as if she saw her own reflection in Ji Wei.
Ji Wei is determined, and isn’t she too?
For Ye Cheng, she’s willing to risk her life!
The group successfully arrived at the airport and made their way directly to the plane through a special channel arranged by Zimei.
Even as she sat on the plane and watched the vast sea of clouds outside the cabin, Ji Wei was still in a daze; they had really managed to leave the country...
On the plane, Zimei and her subordinates were whispering about something, but Ji Wei had no mood to listen. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Gu Moqian, wishing she could reach Tokyo in the next second.
Yet in reality, the flight would last for several more hours.
Ji Wei forced herself with great difficulty not to think too much and closed her eyes. Her head was a bit dizzy, and she didn’t know when she fell asleep. She had had a restless night and woke up very early in the morning; she truly lacked sleep.
This sleep was the longest and most restful in recent days. When she opened her eyes again, she found the plane was already descending.
"We’re about to arrive in Tokyo." Zimei saw her wake up and turned back to smile at her.
This was a city she once longed for and now feared, yet after overcoming so many obstacles, she was finally here.
As Ji Wei looked at the increasingly vivid ground outside the cabin, she felt excitement and impatience in her heart.
Mo Qian, I’m here to find you!
