A winding mountain road, a series of sharp bends.
Fan Xiaoyun, with a group of subordinates, stood by the roadside. They were all wearing traffic police uniforms, disguised as traffic police on duty.
Fan Xiaoyun stood quietly a short distance away, watching.
According to the information provided by Su Ru, Su Wanran would soon be driving a white Panamera. The license plate number and the car's appearance had been sent over.
With this information, there was no room for error.
"Hoo—" Fan Xiaoyun exhaled deeply, watching the cars pass one by one on the mountain road, her heart beating faster and faster.
Calculating the time, Su Wanran's car should be arriving soon.
"Su Wanran, Jiang Mengxin, don't blame me when you're in hell. Blame Lu Ming. If he hadn't tried to kill my brother, I wouldn't have killed you. When you die, I'll drag Lu Ming down to accompany you."
As she spoke, a voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Sister Yun, a white Panamera is coming down the mountain! The model and license plate number match perfectly. There are two women in the car, and they look like Su Wanran and Jiang Mengxin!"
All the information matched.
There was no mistake.
Fan Xiaoyun shouted to her subordinates, "The car is here, everyone be alert, and block them properly!"
The subordinates set up a roadblock, forming a line in the middle of the road.
Soon, the white Panamera drove over. Upon seeing the 'traffic police' blocking the road, the car naturally pulled over to the side.
The subordinates went forward to inspect.
The car door opened, and two women dressed in fancy attire got out.
Before they could say a few words, they were handcuffed by the 'traffic police' and pinned against the car door, unable to move.
Then.
Fan Xiaoyun quickly walked over, sneering, "Patriarch Jiang, Patriarch Su, greetings. I never expected to meet you in this manner."
She walked as she spoke.
Fan Xiaoyun wore a smile, a dagger clutched in her hand.
According to her plan, she was going to stab each of them with the dagger and then throw them off the mountain road.
But!
As Fan Xiaoyun approached, she suddenly realized something was wrong. The two women being handcuffed, though resembling Su Wanran and Jiang Mengxin, were subtly different upon closer inspection.
They were not Su and Jiang; they merely looked and were dressed similarly.
"Huh?" Fan Xiaoyun was shocked and quickly asked, "Who are you?"
One of the women said, "We were just passing by. Why are you handcuffing us? What crime have we committed?"
This...
Fan Xiaoyun was stunned on the spot.
It shouldn't be like this. The car was indeed a Panamera, and the license plate matched, so why weren't the people inside Su Wanran and Jiang Mengxin?
Could it be that Su Ru's information was wrong?
But it was too much of a coincidence, wasn't it? How could the two women in the car look so much like Su and Jiang?
Something was amiss.
Suddenly, one of the subordinates, after inspecting the car, exclaimed in surprise, "No, this is a cloned vehicle! The license plate number is fake!"
What?
Being as sharp as Fan Xiaoyun, upon hearing this, she immediately understood what was going on.
A cloned car?
This meant that the other party knew they would be intercepted, so they deliberately used a cloned car to impersonate Su Wanran's vehicle, dressed up to look like Su and Jiang, and lured Fan Xiaoyun out!
"A clever move, 'luring the snake out of its hole'."
Since the target had been lured out, the other party would surely have follow-up actions.
This is not good!
Fan Xiaoyun shouted, "Retreat, retreat immediately!"
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Just as Fan Xiaoyun shouted 'retreat', over a dozen supercars sped down the mountain road from above, like phantom chariots, fast and ferocious.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In a single exchange, seven or eight of Fan Xiaoyun's subordinates were sent flying.
Some were crushed to death on the spot, while others were thrown off the cliff. Fan Xiaoyun narrowly dodged, avoiding being hit.
The supercars stopped, their doors opened, and a group of masked figures armed with submachine guns emerged.
Without a word, they unleashed a barrage of gunfire!
Fan Xiaoyun's reflexes were quick. She pushed someone away, scrambled into the white Panamera, wrenched the steering wheel, turned the car around, and sped away.
Dada da.
Dada da.
The sound of bullets behind her was incessant. Fan Xiaoyun's twenty to thirty subordinates were all dead within less than a minute!
Even Fan Xiaoyun herself was shot in the thigh, the pain unbearable.
Gritting her teeth, she checked her wound while driving away quickly, heading towards the Orange Red Building, aiming to reach her safe zone as soon as possible.
As she drove, she pondered.
Who was responsible for all this?
Lu Ming?
Impossible. As a live-in son-in-law, where would he get such powerful backing to mobilize so many heavy weapons?
Could it be Su Wanran and Jiang Mengxin?
That's also questionable.
She had never heard that the Su family or the Jiang family possessed such capabilities.
The only remaining possibility was Su Ru!
Although Su Ru did not appear to have such strength on the surface, this woman was terrifying. Who knew what hidden means she possessed?
Moreover, the information about the Panamera came from Su Ru. It was most logical for Su Ru to want to harm Fan Xiaoyun.
"The Su family, as expected, none of them are good!"
"Su Ru, just you wait. Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll definitely twist your head off!"
Fan Xiaoyun was filled with hatred for Su Ru.
In reality, she had completely misjudged Su Ru. This was not Su Ru's doing.
Although Su Ru had intended to eliminate Fan Xiaoyun, it was not yet time. Su Ru needed to use others to kill, to utilize Fan Xiaoyun to get rid of Su Wanran and Jiang Mengxin.
Only after using Fan Xiaoyun would Su Ru find a way to have Lu Ming eliminate Fan Xiaoyun.
Now was not the time to get rid of Fan Xiaoyun.
In fact.
The true mastermind behind everything was indeed Lu Ming!
After Lu Ming learned of the joint operation between Fan Xiaoyun and Su Ru, he had arranged for the Dragon King to orchestrate this play, deliberately using a cloned car to lure Fan Xiaoyun out, and then arranging for his men to kill all of Fan Xiaoyun's subordinates.
Fan Xiaoyun was allowed to escape.
That's right.
The fact that Fan Xiaoyun could escape was not due to her prowess, but simply because Lu Ming had ordered it so.
Because Lu Ming had more cruel methods yet to employ, Fan Xiaoyun's death would not be so simple!
...
Shortly after Fan Xiaoyun left, the real Su Wanran, driving her car with Jiang Mengxin, came down the mountain. They passed that stretch of road and saw the ground littered with corpses and bullet holes, nearly scaring them to death.
They immediately called the police and then hastily drove to the main family residence.
When they arrived at the main family residence, Su Ru and Shen Dianlan were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Why were Su Wanran and Jiang Mengxin still alive?
According to Su Ru's plan, they should have been killed halfway down the mountain. How could they be driving over safe and sound?
Su Ru was utterly confused.
When Su Ru heard about the corpses and bullet holes on the road, she was even more astonished.
She knew that Fan Xiaoyun's subordinates were the ones dead, but the question remained, who did all this?
The truth was difficult to ascertain.
Fan Xiaoyun thought she had been backstabbed by Su Ru.
And Su Ru thought Fan Xiaoyun had provoked some other enemy who had intercepted her.
But the truth was that Lu Ming had orchestrated it. The ruthless Fan Xiaoyun and the cunning Su Ru had both fallen into a major trap this time, with both venomous women being played by Lu Ming.
The most terrifying thing was that the matter was far from over.
Even more brutal events awaited Fan Xiaoyun. As Lu Ming had said before, today, Fan Xiaoyun was destined to perish!
