Chapter 259 Want to Rest
Chapter 259 Want to Rest
As soon as the time came, Xu Youyou rushed to the airport.
However, when the car was halfway through, two cars collided on the road ahead and they were forced to stop.
When Xu Youyou saw this scene, her eyelids twitched wildly. She felt that this was something unusual.
Sure enough, a moment later, a group of people came in front and behind their convoy.
"Ms. Xu, I'm not an unreasonable person. You can leave the treasure I like here, and you guys can leave." Mr. Crow said with a smile.
The road where Xu Youyou and the others were intercepted was not a sparsely populated road, but since these people appeared, the others immediately turned around and ran away in their cars.
Xu Youyou didn't expect that the security in foreign countries was so bad. Although she called the police immediately, the police said "good luck" to her before hanging up the phone.
Even though she had heard that work efficiency abroad was extremely low, she never thought she would be so lucky to get into trouble.
Until now, the system has not refreshed the task settlement, but only shows "pre-completion" and there is no countdown sign.
Obviously, the system guessed that it would encounter resistance like today.
"What if I don't want to hand it over?" Xu Youyou asked.
The Qianlong Grand Review Armor did not enter the market. In fact, no one present could judge its true price, but Xu Youyou had a client like Mr. Zheng who was an avid admirer of Emperor Qianlong, so she was naturally confident that she could sell this armor at a sky-high price.
In contrast, Mr. Crow is a foreigner, and his obsession with this armor seems a bit unreasonable.
But since they are in the gangs, they are obviously not good people. When Mr. Crow heard Xu Youyou's refusal, he didn't say any more nonsense, but waved behind him.
The younger brothers behind him and the people in the front row all pulled out their shiny guns.
Xu Youyou paused. She had never forgotten that this was a country that allowed gun ownership, but she did not expect the other party to take out a gun in broad daylight.
The last time I faced a gunfight was a year ago.
"Little girl, it's not too late to regret now. Just hand over the things." said Mr. Crow.
Xu Youyou's face showed a look of fear at the right moment, but she did not hand over the item. Instead, she asked a somewhat strange question: "Are you short of this treasure? Or are you short of money?"
Mr. Crow sneered and said, "It's too late for you to use money to buy peace now."
Xu Youyou once asked the system if it would be considered exploiting a system loophole if she gave Mr. Crow enough money to make up for the losses.
Her words were immediately rejected by the system: "The other party is your direct competitor. You cannot bribe them to complete the task."
Xu Youyou was not short of money, and seeing that bribing directly was useless, she could only sigh heavily. However, this allowed her to test the bottom line of the system.
Xu Youyou sighed: "Since you are determined to break up, then I can't do anything about it."
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of gunfire rang out in her ears.
The gunshots did not come from Mr. Crow's men, but from another group.
The two cars that had previously blocked her way were moved away at some point.
Xu Youyou waved his hand and drove away with a group of bodyguards.
Mr. Crow was stopped by the sound of other people's gunfire. He found that half of the gunfire was directed at Xu Youyou's car, but these cars were all equipped with bulletproof glass, so it did not have much impact.
"Boss, you are the one who is in control. As expected, dog-eat-dog warfare is our chance of survival." Xu Fang kept praising.
Xu Youyou did not do nothing during the more than ten hours of waiting for the route. She really couldn't directly bribe her competitors.
However, even though she paid a high price to hire another gang of the same size to act as her escort, the system was unable to determine that she had violated the rules.
The person who knows the gang's methods best is of course also from the gang.
The Crow's rival, nicknamed the Eagle, was particularly familiar with the Crow's methods and had predicted early on that the Crow would create an accident on this road to stop Xu Youyou.
Now it seems that Xu Youyou's one million euro security fee was well spent.
Until Xu Youyou safely passed security and boarded the plane, and returned to the national territory after a long flight, nothing unexpected happened.
Lu Jingyao was already waiting for her at the airport. When he thought of his girlfriend going through another round of gunfire abroad, his face was full of worry.
When he received the news, Lu Jingyao wanted to fly abroad to accompany her, but it took eleven hours to fly from Shanghai to Paris, and the nearest flight time was not convenient, so he couldn't rush over. He could only follow Xu Youyou's idea as soon as possible and entrust his acquaintances in Paris to secretly find the Eagle's people.
Now seeing Xu Youyou land safely, he immediately hugged her tightly in his arms.
"It's just a set of armor. Next time, don't put yourself in danger for such a small thing." Lu Jingyao said softly.
He felt a little puzzled and couldn't understand why Xu Youyou didn't choose to spend money to avoid disaster when she was clearly not short of money.
Xu Youyou still remembered the continuous sound of gunfire behind her when she left that section of the road. She knew that because of the existence of the system, such things would probably happen frequently, so she couldn't give Lu Jingyao a definite promise.
Lu Jingyao didn't embarrass her and said helplessly: "It's good that you're back. Let's go home first and you can get some sleep."
Although Xu Youyou had a nap on the plane, her nerves were still tense. Now that she was back in China, in the car, next to Lu Jingyao, her nerves finally relaxed, and she fell asleep before she even got home.
She slept for a full ten hours. When she woke up, she felt the long-lost softness and the familiar furnishings in the room. She was stunned for a moment.
After receiving her notification, Sister Zhang immediately came in pushing the food cart.
Xu Youyou took a look and saw that they were all her favorite foods. After getting up and washing up, she sat on the bed and savored them carefully.
"Ms. Xu, you just came back from abroad. You shouldn't have been abroad for some time? You look like you have lost at least ten pounds since you went out." Sister Zhang said.
Xu Youyou: "How great! I can lose weight without any intentional exercise."
Sister Zhang said, "Ms. Xu, Mr. Gu likes you so much, he definitely doesn't care whether you are thin or fat. More importantly, you are rich, so why bother pursuing weight loss? Isn't that embarrassing yourself?"
Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing. Even Sister Zhang, who was from an older generation, knew that one should not make things difficult for oneself, so she simply started eating and drinking.
A whole month passed in this leisurely manner.
The string in Xu Youyou's mind was tightened again.
[Ding! The "Pick Up a Loot" mission has been released. Please arrive at the target location as soon as possible. This "Pick Up a Loot" mission will be completed in 10 days.]
Xu Youyou felt that her rest was too short and she hadn't recovered from the last life-and-death crisis. She said directly, "Good Master, can you let me rest for a while?"
