She stared out of the window, looking calm.
Fang Jiangyi caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye. "After all, you're the one who secured the Xinghaiwan project for Shengshi."
"It doesn't mean much. You don't have to worry about my feelings. I'm already content with how things are now." She knew well about taking things one step at a time. Being too hasty would only arouse suspicion.
Each of them had their own thoughts.
Fang Jiangyi didn't dwell on this issue any longer. Instead, he asked, "Are you going to the Dongjiao Factory today?"
Yan Xia replied, "Yes. It's been delayed for a long time. I'm afraid if I don't finalize the samples, it'll be after the New Year."
Although Yan Xia stayed in Shengshi with a purpose, she always remembered that it was her father's hard - won achievement. She would take back Shengshi one day. So, whether it was a project or future planning, she faced everything with the utmost sincerity.
Fang Jiangyi was a bit worried. "You'd better be careful. You almost got into trouble last time."
Yan Xia said, "I will."
She didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to attack in the same place twice in a short period. Besides, apart from Peng Shiyi, she didn't seem to have any other enemies.
Yan Xia and Li Hong spent the whole afternoon in the factory, with Yan Xia doing everything herself. Finally, they managed to finalize the samples.
Before leaving, she specifically gave repeated instructions. She confirmed the quality of the materials and the relevant issues of the later - stage construction with the project supervisor and the main person - in - charge many times. She even told the quality inspector many times, afraid of any problems.
When all this was done, the sky was already gray. It got dark early in winter. The driver's car was already waiting outside the factory.
She had several missed calls from Lu Qianzhou on her phone. She briefly sent a message to indicate her location and whereabouts.
Li Hong sat in the front passenger seat. "Now, the project of the No. 3 Bridge is preliminarily finalized."
"Not necessarily," Yan Xia said tiredly, leaning back on the seat. "The most important thing in an engineering project is quality. Once there's any problem with the quality of a project, it's like half of the accumulated reputation over the years has collapsed."
Li Hong flattered her. "General Manager Lu is so far - sighted. In fact, she's already anticipated many emergencies and taken preventive measures in advance. I believe there won't be many problems."
Maybe because she was too tired, Yan Xia stared out of the window and didn't say anything.
There was a flash of light from behind. Yan Xia frowned but didn't pay attention.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, the car behind suddenly accelerated and rammed into the back of their car. The whole car jolted violently. Fortunately, they were wearing seat - belts, so there was no major problem.
The driver was also startled and immediately stepped on the accelerator to escape from the crazy ramming of this car.
"What's going on? Why is there another car ramming into us?"
Was there something wrong with this road?
Li Hong turned over in the front passenger seat, opened the window, and stuck his head out to observe the car behind.
But the other car also accelerated and caught up, continuing to ram violently into the back of their car. It seemed pre - meditated. Yan Xia didn't expect that Fang Jiangyi's bad prediction had actually come true.
The driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and said calmly, "Miss Lu, hold on tight!"
Yan Xia was relatively calm. She was just afraid that Peng Shiyi had gone all out this time. Some people would do anything for money without considering the consequences. If she really met such people this time, she might be in danger.
The driver sped up and ran forward. Unexpectedly, a car suddenly appeared at the corner ahead and rushed straight towards their car. The driver quickly stepped on the brake. Due to the inertia, everyone's bodies leaned forward suddenly. If it weren't for the seat - belts, they might have flown out directly.
The headlights of the car ahead kept flashing.
The people in the two cars behind got out and surrounded their car. The driver didn't even have time to struggle before being stunned by the electric batons of the other side.
Two other masked men pulled Yan Xia out of the car. "This is her!"
"Your benefactor paid you how much? I'll pay ten times as much!" Yan Xia held on to the car door tightly. At the same time, she quickly dialed Lu Qianzhou's number.
Li Hong stepped forward and wanted to fight those people, doing his best to protect Yan Xia's safety. If something happened to her, Lu Qianzhou would never let him go. Whether he died early or late, he might as well die heroically.
However, he didn't have any tools for fighting. He was hit hard on the head with a stick and was bleeding on the spot. Then he was shocked by several electric batons and fell straight to the ground. The scene was very bloody.
Yan Xia let out a scream and turned to run, but was hooked around the waist by a rope. They moved very quickly. The rope was thrown back and forth, and in a few moments, her hands were tied up. They pushed her into their car like lifting a chicken.
When getting into the car, her head accidentally hit the car door, and she felt dizzy with pain. The phone that had already been connected fell to the ground and was stepped on again and again.
They put a bag over her head and sealed her mouth with tape. Her vision was blocked, and she was completely like a helpless kitten.
She stumbled and huddled in a corner of the car, breathing desperately and thinking about the current situation.
The laughter of several men came into her ears. "Be gentle, guys. This is a young lady who has never suffered. She's slept with people like Fang Jiangyi and Lu Qianzhou. We should also know how to cherish the fairer sex."
"Cherish my ass. Now she's in our hands. She'll have a hard time later." Another man snorted and looked at Yan Xia with a lewd look up and down.
Yan Xia frowned. Her intuition told her that the situation this time was much more serious than last time, and it might not be so easy to get out of it.
The most important thing was that she had no ability to resist at all and didn't even have a chance to speak.
There were three people in the car including the driver.
A man beside her seemed to be caressing her body ambiguously. His hand slid from her chin to her full chest.
"This woman has a really good face and figure. No wonder she can even attract Fang Jiangyi."
Another person said, "Which of these rich women isn't beautiful and has a bad figure? You're just inexperienced."
The man who was caressing Yan Xia said, "I can't hold it anymore, bro. Anyway, we have to do it. Drive the car steadily. I want to do her now!"
After saying that.
Yan Xia heard the sound of a zipper being pulled open. The man seemed completely unable to wait and directly tore open his clothes. The buttons popped and fell all over the place.
He dragged Yan Xia up from the corner and pressed her on the back seat. The space of this minivan was large enough for two people to move around.
"Um..." Yan Xia's chest heaved violently. Her face was covered with sweat, and the cold sweat slid down her neck and was absorbed by her winter cotton - padded clothes.
By this time, no matter how strong - minded she was, she was scared. She struggled desperately on the seat.
The man took off his clothes and pounced on her impatiently, but was kicked in the crotch by Yan Xia.
The man let out a shrill scream and gasped, covering his crotch. He cursed angrily, "Damn it, you're quite spicy! I just like your sassy smell!"
