Chapter 498 Rear-end
Hua Yan walked to the car behind, knocked on the back window, and saw two people sitting there, both around fifty years old. She casually flicked her left index finger twice and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, sir, it's all our fault. How would you like to resolve this?"
Hua Yan deliberately released her spiritual power, blinking her clear and innocent eyes.
"Oh! If the car wasn't scratched, then let's just forget about it. But you should be more careful when driving in the future, and not be so reckless."
"Okay! Thank you for your generosity. May good luck always be with you."
Hua Yan put her hands together in a gesture of gratitude.
The person inside the car shouted to the driver outside who was arguing with Hu Zhiang:
"Charlie, it's fine as long as the car is alright, we're in a hurry."
The man called Charlie glared at Hu Zhiang resentfully, then reluctantly opened the car door and got in. He had originally wanted to get out and punch Hu Zhiang, but Hu Zhiang and Hua Yan both apologized, their attitudes so good that it was almost embarrassing to say anything more.
Watching Charlie get into the car, Hua Yan gave Hu Zhiang a knowing look, and then the two of them got into the car as well.
Earlier in the car, Hua Yan and Hu Zhiang had already discussed it. As long as they forced the car to stop, they would take responsibility for whatever consequences they had to bear, and they didn't care about losing money.
Haha! I didn't expect the other driver to be so skilled. He managed to escape unscathed in such an emergency. It's truly admirable.
In the car behind, the big shot sitting in the back seat had a glint in his eye and said with an air of absolute certainty:
"Charlie, follow the car that just came from, but don't let them notice."
Looking at the Rolls-Royce following closely behind, Hua Yan's lips curled up into a triumphant smile.
Haha! They're all seasoned foxes; it's too early to say who will win.
Hua Yan asked Hu Zhiang to drive to a five-star hotel in New York City, and the two booked a room together. Hua Yan was worried that Hu Zhiang would be targeted by the Spirit Absorbing Cult, while Hu Zhiang was worried about Hua Yan's safety, so neither of them felt there was anything wrong with staying together.
As soon as they put their luggage down, Hua Yan put her eyes on the peephole in the door.
Hehe! Sure enough, everything was as expected. Charlie and the others also checked into this room, and it was even the room opposite Hua Yan and the others.
It seems that Hua Yan's release of spiritual power easily hooked her opponents. Whether they wanted to absorb her spiritual power or bring her under their command, the result was the same: they followed her just as Hua Yan had planned.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon. After settling in, Hu Zhiang took Hua Yan out to get something to eat.
"Confused guy, have you been here before?"
Seeing Hu Zhiang's familiar and experienced manner, Hua Yan couldn't help but ask him curiously, as it didn't seem like his first time in Country A.
"Huh? No... but I did a lot of research before I left."
Hu Zhiang reacted quickly, realizing the problem immediately.
In his previous life, he had accompanied Hua Yan to Country A many times and was more familiar with Country A than Hua Yan herself. Because he needed to protect Hua Yan, being familiar with the surrounding environment was the minimum requirement.
"Hehe! So you did some research beforehand."
Hua Yan looked at Hu Zhiang with a smile.
Going out with Hutu Ge is so worry-free. It was like this in my past life too; I didn't have to worry about anything. Hua Yan thought to herself.
Upon hearing the word "travel guide," Hu Zhiang perked up. This word isn't commonly used in the context of travel these days, but Hua Yan blurted it out without hesitation. It seems there's quite a difference between someone who loves reading and someone who doesn't.
Haha! Hu Zhiang could only think of Hua Yan's broad knowledge, so it was only natural that what she said was novel.
The waiter brought over the menu, and Hu Zhiang took it and ordered the dishes that Hua Yan liked. Then, as if realizing something, he asked Hua Yan to order what she liked.
"Haha! I didn't expect that Brother Hutu likes to eat the same things as me."
Hua Yan didn't think much of it. Although the wooden carvings Hu Zhiang had given her before were all of her appearance as an adult in her previous life, she thought that Hu Zhiang had imagined her based on her current appearance, or that she had regained her memories of her previous life like Taiji. She didn't know which one it was and had to observe.
Regardless, Hu Zhiang had always protected her in her past life, which is why Hua Yan believed him without any reason in this life.
After finishing their meal, with plenty of time to spare, the two discussed their strategy and waited for their prey to come to them.
It was late at night, and the clock struck eleven. Hua Yan's room was already quiet and still.
The door lock was opened easily, the sound so soft it was almost negligible, but the two sober individuals still heard it.
Hua Yan saw Hu Zhiang suddenly open his eyes in the darkness and try to turn his head to look at the door.
"Dumb guy, don't move, close your eyes and go to sleep."
Hua Yan used telepathy to tell Hu Zhiang.
Hu Zhiang indeed obeyed and closed his eyes obediently, but his nerves were on edge, ready to explode at any moment.
The first person to enter the room came to Hua Yan and Hu Zhiang, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and first covered Hu Zhiang's mouth and nose.
Hu Zhiang cooperated without struggling and fell into an even deeper sleep.
The man then came to Hua Yan's side and, in the same manner, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Hua Yan was not so obedient; she turned over uncomfortably and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing that neither of them had woken up, the man whispered towards the door:
"You can come in."
Two figures walked in and casually closed the door.
"Charlie, turn on the light."
One of them spoke up and gave the order.
"Yes, Judge Robert."
Charlie agreed, and the room immediately lit up.
“John, re-examine this girl’s spiritual power.”
Robert gestured with his chin toward John.
John came to Hua Yan's side, observed her for a moment, and then placed his hand on Hua Yan's head.
Suddenly, Hua Yan opened her eyes and stared intently at John.
John was startled when he saw Hua Yan open her eyes, and his mouth dropped open.
Hua Yan then flicked out a pill with lightning speed.
John subconsciously gulped down the pill, which went down his esophagus without staying in his mouth.
Robert and Charlie were also very surprised to see Hua Yan open her eyes; they both widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide.
Without hesitation, Hua Yan put the two pills into the mouths of the two men.
The room was instantly filled with a chorus of coughs, but nothing came out.
Charlie reacted first, grabbing at Hua Yan's neck with his right hand, but his hand was immediately restrained by a strong force.
Hearing the cough, Hu Zhiang opened his eyes and saw Charlie's actions. Without even reacting, he immediately stopped Charlie.
After grabbing Charlie's hand, Hu Zhiang pulled hard, causing Charlie to stumble and be thrown to the doorway.
John and Robert stopped coughing and looked at Charlie lying on the ground. Robert said angrily:
"You're cheating?"
"Heh! May I ask, we were just sleeping peacefully in our room, what were you doing sneaking in? We haven't even questioned you yet, how dare you turn around and interrogate us?"
Hua Yan kicked John, got out of bed, and walked to Robert's side.
"You...you..."
Robert hesitated for a while before suddenly reaching out to grab Hua Yan.
Hua Yan didn't back down; instead, she went forward and grabbed Robert's outstretched hand tightly.
Robert instinctively tried to break free, but he couldn't budge. Hua Yan's hand was like a pair of pliers, not only gripping him tightly but also hurting him deeply. He felt like he was about to break off at any moment, and cold sweat poured down his face.
Haha! Hua Yan was indeed broken. Although it wasn't a comminuted fracture, it was still broken into several pieces.
At this point, only John was still unharmed, and seeing the situation, he dared not make any rash moves.
"My patience is limited. Just answer my questions and don't waste time talking nonsense, lest I lose my temper and your injuries worsen."
Hua Yan had already given them all the truth-telling pills; she didn't believe they wouldn't talk. These words were only for Hu Zhiang's ears, to prevent him from becoming suspicious. She didn't want Hu Zhiang to know too much right now, because there were some things she couldn't explain.
