The road was wide, and there were no vehicles at the moment. When the driver spotted someone ahead, even if it was too late to stop, a quick turn of the steering wheel and a tap on the brakes could still slow down the car. However, the car faced a red light and showed no signs of stopping. It did not swerve away from Jiang Chen, but instead charged straight at him. Seeing this, Jiang Chen understood that the car was intent on hitting him.
He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. With a thought, he moved forward two meters, just enough to shift into another lane as the Pulsar Car brushed past him. To outsiders, it looked like a close call!
The Pulsar Car couldn't stop in time and continued to speed ahead...
With a loud crash, the Pulsar Car collided with a construction vehicle that was driving normally into the intersection. No matter how sturdy the sedan was, it couldn't withstand a collision with a construction vehicle. The Pulsar Car was severely damaged; its front end was nearly totaled, the body was deformed, airbags deployed, and the driver's head was crushed beyond recognition—he had clearly died on impact.
The construction vehicle only suffered minor damage to its front right side and slight deformation of the right door. The driver, startled, hurriedly stopped and got out to call for help.
Since the driver of the Pulsar Car was dead, it was impossible to find out who had ordered him to run into Jiang Chen. Therefore, Jiang Chen did not approach but instead walked casually toward the entrance of the Qin's Hotel.
The security guard at the hotel had evidently heard the sound of the collision and rushed out to see what happened. Upon seeing the Pulsar Car in ruins, he was stunned! So much so that he almost didn't notice Jiang Chen entering the hotel.
"Brother, the operation failed!" A person not far from the accident scene was on the phone, looking quite dejected.
"What? Failed? How could you be so useless? You couldn't even handle a high school student? Where's Xiao Ma?" The voice on the other end of the line sounded extremely angry.
"Jiang Chen was clearly in the middle of the road when the car charged at him. I thought for sure he would be hit. But just before impact, he moved forward quickly by a few meters, and the car just grazed past him. Xiao Ma couldn't brake in time and crashed into a construction vehicle that was driving normally; he's dead on site!"
"Xiao Ma is dead? That's good. This way no one will trace it back to us. Haozhou, arrange for someone to give more compensation to Xiao Ma's family! Advise them not to say anything reckless. You should also rush back to Nangang tonight! If Jiang's family or Old Qin encounters you, it will raise suspicions and could lead to danger!"
The caller was Wan Haozhou. After encountering an incident at Old Master Jiang's birthday banquet today, he called his brother Wan Haoyu as soon as he left Jiang's residence to provide a detailed report.
When Wan Haoyu heard that Jiang Chen knew about his father's death being related to their family name, he felt a jolt of shock. How did this kid find out? Lin Shihui was already dead; that left only one possibility—Jiang Guangming must have told him.
Jiang Guangming would be dealt with when he returned to Nangang.
What about Yang Jun's son Jiang Chen? Although he was just a middle school student, recent information indicated that he was quite formidable and unexpectedly powerful.
Wan Haoyu decided to eliminate Jiang Chen completely. Otherwise, it would become a problem for Wan's Group. Wan Haozhou instructed his brother to delay returning to Nangang and suggested it would be best to eliminate Jiang Chen in Qingcheng.
Thus, Wan Haozhou did not leave Qingcheng that afternoon but instead worked on carrying out his brother's instructions. After considering various plans, he ultimately decided on using a car to kill Jiang Chen. Of course, this method had been employed by Wan's Group more than once before.
Having overheard Old Qin mention that Jiang Chen would be going to Qin's Hotel that evening, Wan Haozhou decided to carry out his plan right in front of Qin's Hotel.
He chose this location after careful consideration; it was wide and sparsely populated, making it easy for vehicles to accelerate. Moreover, no matter how Jiang Chen chose to arrive here, he would inevitably show up at this spot—walking would be ideal for their plan.
"Drive back to Nangang!" Wan Haozhou ordered his driver.
An Audi sped away from Qingcheng toward Nangang...
Jiang Chen continued walking into the hotel.
"Sir, are you here to check in?" The front desk attendant was quite polite upon seeing someone enter.
"Yes, I am here to check in! My name is Jiang Chen, and I was sent by Old Qin. I shouldn't need to register, right?"
"Old Qin sent you? Oh, he mentioned a guest would be arriving tonight. Please hold on, let me verify!"
The front desk used the phone on the table to make an internal call.
"Old Qin, a guest named Jiang Chen has arrived... Uh-huh, okay!" The front desk hung up the phone.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, Old Qin is waiting for you in the 808 Presidential Suite!"
Upon reaching the 8th floor, Jiang Chen rang the doorbell of the suite.
The door opened, revealing a bodyguard named Chungwai.
"Jiang Chen, you’re here? How was your afternoon?" Old Qin smiled as he stood up from his seat.
"Overall it was fine, but there was a small issue earlier! I almost got hit by a car!"
"Almost hit by a car? Could a car really hit you?"
"Of course it couldn't hit me; instead, it crashed into a construction vehicle! My driver died on the spot!"
"Oh, that must have been quite fast. He didn’t realize that no matter how fast he drove, you could dodge it. In the end, he lost his life. I believe the driver must have been instructed by someone; do you know who it was?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. He had his suspicions but didn't want to voice them in front of Old Qin.
Old Qin could likely guess who was behind it as well. Seeing that Jiang Chen wasn't speaking, he didn't press further.
"Jiang Chen, my hotel doesn't have much in terms of entertainment. Why not let Chungwai take you somewhere else?"
"Hehe, thank you, Old Qin! I grew up in Qingcheng, so if I want to have fun, I can easily find a place without needing him to guide me!"
"In that case, let's get some rest early!"
The Presidential Suite had three bedrooms: one master bedroom for Old Qin and two guest rooms for Jiang Chen and bodyguard Chungwai.
The next morning after breakfast, Old Qin, Jiang Chen, and Chungwai set off together. There were already two copies of the Qingcheng Daily in the car; Jiang Chen picked one up and casually flipped through it, finding a report about last night's accident.
The report described it as a common traffic accident caused by the driver drinking alcohol, which led him to forget to slow down at an intersection and crash into a construction vehicle, resulting in destruction and loss of life.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly! What else could he do? Could he really tell everyone this was a murder?
On the way from Qingcheng to Nangang, it takes about three hours by car. During a break at a service area, I heard the loudspeaker announcing:
"Attention all drivers, there has been an accident on the highway, traffic is blocked, and vehicles in the service area are temporarily not allowed to return to the highway!"
What happened? Was there an accident?
"Old Qin, you and Brother Zhong Wei wait here for a moment, I'll go ahead and check the situation!"
Jiang Chen got out of the car and ran onto the highway. Sure enough, cars were lined up in a long queue, stretching several hundred meters and continuously extending backward.
