Meeting you in autumn

Chapter 171 Assassination on the Way

After leaving the prison gates, Jing Yi looked up at the vast starry sky that was twinkling with faint light, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He exhaled a long breath, as if to release all the pent-up frustration and repression.

At this moment, Chen Fang, who had been by his side, saw his appearance and asked with concern, "Brother Yi, are you alright?"

Hearing the voice, Jing Yi snapped out of her daze, turned to look at Chen Fang, and gave a slightly tired but calm smile, replying, "I'm fine, don't worry."

After saying that, he gently patted Chen Fang's shoulder to show that he had really recovered.

Chen Fang nodded, but couldn't help pressing further: "Brother Yi, about the old man...should we go check on him again? After all..."

Before Chen Fang could finish speaking, Jing Yi interrupted him decisively: "No need! This matter ends here, don't mention it again."

Seeing Jing Yi's resolute attitude, Chen Fang had no choice but to shut his mouth and silently accompany Jing Yi to the car parked not far away.

After the two got into the car, the driver slowly started the engine, and the car drove smoothly away from the prison gate.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jing Yi leaned back in the comfortable seat, gently closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Looking at Jing Yi's tightly closed eyes and slightly furrowed brows through the rearview mirror, Chen Fang knew very well that Jing Yi must be feeling very distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

It was all that old man's fault; he had to say some unpleasant things, so he had no choice but to keep quiet and not disturb his rest.

Suddenly, Jing Yi's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

After the call connected, a gentle female voice came from the other end: "Ah Yi, where are you?"

"On my way to the company," Jing Yi replied gently.

"Okay, fine! I miss you."

"Well, I miss you too."

Hearing this, Chen Fang got goosebumps and thought to himself, "Huh? When did Brother Yi become so greasy?!"

However, Jing Yi and Guan Yu's phone call continued.

"Ah Yi, thank you, my brother has woken up!" Guan Yu said gratefully.

"It's alright, he's my future brother-in-law," Jing Yi said with a smile.

Guan Yu blushed on the other end of the phone and scolded, "Who's your brother-in-law? Really!"

Just as Jing Yi was about to say something, the car suddenly braked sharply.

It turned out that a car ahead had illegally changed lanes. Jing Yi frowned slightly and said to Chen Fang, "Drive carefully."

Then he said to Guan Yu on the phone, "Honey, I have to go now, there's been a sudden situation."

After hanging up the phone, Jing Yi rubbed his temples.

Just then, a screeching sound of brakes rang out, and one car after another sped by, quickly surrounding Jing Yi and Chen Fang.

The car door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of tall, strong, and powerful men filed out, each holding a gleaming broadsword with a chilling glint in its blade.

These people had hideous and terrifying faces, and their fierce expressions made it seem as if they wanted to devour the person in front of them alive.

They approached Jing Yi and Chen Fang step by step, the intense killing intent emanating from them making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

Upon seeing this scene, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed in Jing Yi's normally calm eyes, like a venomous snake revealing its fangs in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze became incredibly sharp, like two bolts of lightning piercing the night sky, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

Chen Fang, standing to the side, naturally sensed the gravity of the situation. He knew these people were no good and must have come prepared.

His expression instantly turned serious as he focused intently on the approaching enemy.

Jing Yi and Chen Fang got out of the car without fear. They stood side by side, their postures as upright as pine trees.

Facing this group of burly men with ill intentions, their faces showed no fear whatsoever, but rather revealed a calm and composed demeanor.

Chen Fang took the first step forward, stood firmly on his feet, and then coldly said, "Who exactly sent you? How dare you cause trouble here!"

A bald, burly man stepped out from the group, grinning, and said, "Someone paid to have you killed. Today is your death day."

Chen Fang whispered to Jing Yi, "Brother Yi, these people all look like they're skilled in martial arts; they won't be easy to deal with."

Jing Yi, however, didn't care at all. "Hmph, then let's give it a try."

As he spoke, he charged towards the group of people, his movements as agile as a cheetah.

Jing Yi quickly took down several henchmen, and Chen Fang, not to be outdone, joined the fight.

However, the enemy had too many people, and Jing Yi and Chen Fang gradually became exhausted.

Just then, someone was about to stab Chen Fang in the back when he wasn't paying attention. Seeing this, Jing Yi immediately moved to Chen Fang's side, turned around, and kicked the person away.

"You're asking for death!!" Jing Yi roared, his eyes icy cold.

Seeing this, Chen Fang immediately went up angrily and kicked the man again: "He dared to ambush me!!"

After a while, those people were defeated by Jing Yi and Chen Fang. Seeing that they were no match for the two, they quickly withdrew from the scene.

"Stop chasing, Chen Fang!" Jing Yi shouted, stopping Chen Fang who was about to chase after those people.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang said nothing more and immediately turned around and walked towards Jing Yi's direction.

"Is that all? Brother Yi?" Chen Fang sat in the car and continued driving, thinking about what had just happened, and couldn't help but ask.

However, Jing Yi did not speak, his eyes fixed ahead, lost in thought.

After a while, the two arrived at Xingyi Group. However, after reaching the upper level, Jing Yi went into his office, while Chen Fang walked towards Lu Chuan's office in a rage, cursing and saying, "Damn it, on the way back from prison with Brother Yi, we were assassinated!! I'm so angry."

"What's wrong?" Lu Chuan asked.

"I wonder which bastard it is? That's why I came to you, to ask you to investigate which bastard wanted to kill us tonight."

Lu Chuan frowned and said seriously, "Leave this to me. I will find out who is behind this as soon as possible."

"Chen Fang, were you assassinated??" Shen Jia asked anxiously as she pushed open the door after hearing his words.

"Damn! I don't even know who the assassin was, it's infuriating."

"Are you alright?" Shen Jia asked.

Just as Chen Fang was about to say something, he heard Shen Jia's words and a smile appeared on his lips. He said with a hint of mockery, "What? Are you worried about me?"

"Ahem, don't be so narcissistic. I'm just worried that if you died, Mother Chen would be heartbroken."

"Tch, heartless bastard." Chen Fang curled his lip.

Shen Jia rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Lu Chuan and said, "Lu Chuan, let's go!"

"Hmm." Seeing this, Lu Chuan stood up and walked towards Shen Jia.

"Where are you going?" Chen Fang asked with a serious expression, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"Let's go, Lu Chuan." Shen Jia ignored Chen Fang's words, but instead took Lu Chuan's hand and said.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fang's face darkened completely. "I'm going too!!"

"This is none of your business!! Stop messing around." Shen Jian turned around and shouted at Chen Fang in a low voice.

"Shen Jia..." Chen Fang was about to say something when Shen Jia quickly pulled Lu Chuan out. Chen Fang watched them leave with a helpless expression.
