Chapter 270 Ambush Failed
Chapter 270 Ambush Failed
"Oh no, they might have left in a helicopter." Liu Yashan's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered that there was a means of transportation like a helicopter that could quickly escape. His face instantly darkened, and he said hatefully, gritting his teeth.
"Then Miss, should we give chase?" The man in black asked tentatively, his tone full of hesitation, as he looked at the car that was already far away and almost out of sight.
"No need, I believe she will be back soon, and someone will take care of her wherever she goes." After Liu Yashan pondered for a moment, she seemed to have figured something out, and her expression returned to calm. She sat down on the chair leisurely, picked up a glass of red wine elegantly, shook the scarlet liquid gently, and then took a sip. A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and that smile was full of calculation and confidence, as if everything was under her control.
"Yes." The man in black responded and hung up the phone silently.
"I didn't expect that I would make a move once and then run away. But if you go there, someone like me won't be waiting for you. I hope you can catch it!" Liu Yashan put down the wine glass, crossed his arms across his chest, and muttered to himself with a cold look in his eyes. It seemed as if his eyes could penetrate the void and stare straight at the direction outside.
Su Siyi was sitting in the car, which had already driven a long distance away from the airport, but she always felt like there was a pair of invisible eyes on the other side of the airport, staring at her closely, making her back feel slightly cold.
"Siyi, what are you looking at?" Nangong Jingming keenly noticed that she was in a daze, turned sideways, and asked with concern, his eyes full of worry and concern.
"Sister, have you found anything?" Su Wenxin also hurried over. He had just replaced Jing Er in the car behind and sat in the co-pilot seat himself. When he heard Nangong Jingming's question, he immediately turned his head to look at his sister, his eyes full of anxiety and curiosity.
"I feel like there might be an ambush at the airport." Su Siyi frowned and said uncertainly, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.
"Oh, there is an ambush. It seems that the Liu family can't wait to take action." Su Wenxin was immediately furious when he heard it. He clenched his fists, his face full of resentment, and said with gritted teeth.
"Brother, I'm a little worried about the people at home. Please tell everyone to pay attention to safety. If there is real danger, remember to hide." Su Siyi anxiously instructed Su Wenxin, her eyes full of worry. The faces of her family members kept appearing in her mind, fearing that they would encounter accidents.
"Okay, I'll remind everyone." Su Wenxin nodded solemnly, looking serious and earnest. He secretly made up his mind that he would sort out the security matters carefully after returning.
He and his elder brother have already made great achievements in cultivation and have long since transcended the realm of mortals. Ordinary people can do nothing to them at all, but the other people in the family have not yet successfully entered the door, and their fighting power is really limited. If they really encounter danger, saving their lives is the most important thing.
"Brother, if you can avoid going out, then don't go out!" Su Siyi was still worried and gave him another earnest warning. She looked so nervous that she looked like a worried little parent.
"I've already sent people to follow everyone. Everything will be fine. They're not going to act too recklessly yet," Nangong Jingming reassured them, his voice steady and confident. Just in case, he had already carefully assembled a group of exceptional warriors. These warriors were the elite of the elite, specifically designed to counterbalance the troublesome individuals painstakingly cultivated by the four major families. With them protecting them, the Su family would surely be safe.
In this world of warriors, everything is governed by rules and regulations. The state has long stipulated that disputes between warriors should be handled and resolved by warriors. Now that the Liu family has already dispatched warriors with great fanfare, intending to provoke trouble, Nangong Jingming decisively dispatched warriors to protect the Su family. This is a natural and reasonable move. Even if the four major families want to use this as an excuse to cause trouble and complain, Nangong Jingming can still stand firm and make sense.
"Thank you." Su Siyi's eyes were full of gratitude. She looked up at Nangong Jingming. Her eyes were like clear lake water, full of sincerity and emotion. She knew very well that if it were not for Nangong Jingming's thorough arrangements, relying solely on the security forces she had hired before, once they faced the Liu family warriors, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg and would be completely vulnerable.
"You're welcome. You're a nationally protected person now, so these are normal protection measures." Nangong Jingming's expression was solemn and earnest, each word a promise etched in his heart. In his heart, Su Siyi had become a national treasure through her many outstanding contributions. Protecting her safety was his duty, and her family, naturally, was also included in this tight protection network. She had presented the country with many rare and valuable gifts, repeatedly relieving the country's urgent needs. If there were any negligence in this security matter, it would be the country's dereliction of duty and incompetence.
"It will take some time to get there. You can take a rest!" Nangong Jingming keenly caught the unconcealable fatigue between Su Siyi's eyebrows and suggested softly. The tone was like the spring breeze, gentle and considerate, full of concern.
"Well, then I'll take a break!" Su Siyi was already exhausted physically and mentally, and she didn't try to be stubborn after hearing that. She nodded slightly, then leaned back on the seat, slowly closed her eyes, trying to find a moment of rest during this short journey.
As the car swayed slightly, sleepiness washed over her like a tide. Her head seemed to have its own consciousness and slowly leaned towards Nangong Jingming. Nangong Jingming's heart moved, fearing that he would disturb her sweet dream, and he subconsciously moved closer to her, quietly adjusting his posture, just wanting her to rest safely on his shoulder and find the most comfortable resting position.
"Brother Nangong, do you like my sister?" Su Wenxin accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene from the rearview mirror. Nangong Jingming's cautious and caring look was in her sight, so she asked bluntly. Her eyes were both inquiring and cautious about the feelings of an older brother towards his sister.
"Yeah, I like it." Nangong Jingming responded frankly without any shyness. His crisp tone was like a sharp arrow, piercing through all disguises and hesitations, his eyes full of sincerity and determination.
"Are you serious?" Su Wenxin frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Nangong Jingming, his face solemn, trying to find even a hint of perfunctory or falsehood in the depths of his eyes.
"Of course I'm serious. I like her. From the first time I saw her, I couldn't help but be attracted to her. Maybe this is fate!" Nangong Jingming raised his head slightly, looking at the scenery flying by outside the car window, but his thoughts drifted back to the day he first met Su Siyi. Back then, she was like an elf who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world, with a smile on her face, lively and smart. The unique temperament she exuded seemed to have a magical power, easily touching the softest part of his heart, causing ripples in his usually calm heart, and he fell deeply in love with her from then on. The tenderness in her eyes was like a gurgling stream under the warm spring sun, overflowing. He himself had never expected that he would fall so quickly in love with a woman, and that it would be so unforgettable and love at first sight.
"Then you must not bully her in the future. You must always protect her. Even you cannot bully her. Can you do it?" Su Wenxin looked serious, his eyes were burning, and his tone was unquestionable and tough. As an older brother, it was his instinct to protect his sister. He had to get a definite promise from Nangong Jingming before he would give up.
"Second brother Su, the promise I made is to give it directly to her, not to you." Nangong Jingming raised his eyes and met Su Wenxin's. His eyes were clear and firm, revealing an unshakable persistence. Although he responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, it was not directed at Su Wenxin's "difficulty". It was just that in his heart, the promise he made to Su Siyi should be told to her in person and solemnly, and no one else could replace him.
"Okay, anyway, if you dare to bully her, I will chase you to the ends of the earth." Seeing that he was so serious, Su Wenxin knew that she could not force him, so she said this harsh and threatening word, then turned her head away and ignored him. She secretly made up her mind to keep a close eye on Nangong Jingming's every move in the future to protect her sister.
Nangong Jingming was not annoyed. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. Then he gently placed Su Siyi's head on his shoulder, adjusted her sitting position, and made her sleep as peacefully and comfortably as possible. The look he gave her was as if the most precious treasure in the world was placed in front of him, full of tenderness and pity, and he was deeply afraid of disturbing her deep sleep.
"Drive more steadily, don't let it shake," Su Wenxin whispered softly to Jing Yi, who was driving in the front seat. His tone, though soft, carried a commanding authority that brooked no disobedience. Jing Yi didn't respond, but his movements grew more steady. He quietly slowed the car, his control of the steering wheel ever more precise, striving to keep the car as steady as a mirror and the interior silent, allowing Su Siyi to fall asleep in this peaceful atmosphere.
Upon arriving at the villa, Nangong Jingming carefully carried the still-sleeping Su Siyi horizontally, and boarded the plane with steady and light steps, his movements revealing his cherishment and care. Su Siyi finally woke up when the plane soared into the sky, the roar of the engine becoming a soothing background sound. Bleary-eyed, she looked around and realized she was already inside the plane. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why are we already in the sky?"
"You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't wake you up." Nangong Jingming leaned closer, his eyes gentle as water, a smile on his lips, and explained softly. His voice sounded like a low hum in spring, revealing pampering and care.
"I slept so soundly!" Su Siyi's pretty face turned red, and she scratched her head embarrassedly. She looked up at Nangong Jingming with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Nangong Jingming said as he skillfully opened the small and exquisite refrigerator in the front row, took out a piece of beautifully packaged cake, and placed it on the small table in front of her with neat movements. He also considerately handed her a spoon. The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that he had prepared it in advance.
