155: Chapter 155 Chen Mo is ordered to kill Brother Dao, Qin Yi disguises himself to stop him (Part 1)

At this moment, Xu Qian was inside the sales office of the Wanhao Car Dealership. In the vast office, besides her, only the supervisor Zhang Bo was present.

The other sales personnel were busy in the showroom, their figures weaving between the display cars; those with customers were busy attending to them, while those without were wiping down the display cars with helpless expressions. This was the daily routine of luxury car sales.

Suddenly, with a 'ding,' the screen of Xu Qian's phone on the desk lit up. She picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from Qin Xiaoyue, a long voice message. Xu Qian looked up slightly, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Zhang Bo, who was sitting deep in the office. He was wearing headphones and staring at his computer screen; from his focused expression, he seemed to be watching a movie or playing a game.

Xu Qian felt a sense of relief and gently tapped on Qin Xiaoyue's message. Qin Xiaoyue's voice, carrying a hint of complaint and playfulness, immediately played from the phone.

Hearing Qin Xiaoyue call her 'sister-in-law' over and over in the voice message, Xu Qian's pretty face flushed slightly, but the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, and she could hardly contain her joy.

She looked up at the wall clock; there was about half an hour left before the lunch break. Today was Tuesday, and the boss usually didn't come in at this time. Xu Qian calculated in her head that if she spoke to Zhang Bo, leaving early shouldn't be a problem.

So, Xu Qian's slender fingers tapped briskly on the screen as she replied to Qin Xiaoyue: "Okay, Xiao Yue, don't worry. I'll tell the supervisor and leave a bit early at noon. Send me the address in a bit."

After sending the message, Xu Qian stood up and walked slowly toward Zhang Bo's desk.

Zhang Bo's attention was entirely on the computer screen. The domestic AAA masterpiece 'Black Myth: Wukong' had just been released; although he wasn't a gamer, the overwhelming discussions online and the stunning CG trailers had long since piqued his curiosity. It was a pity the dealership's computer specs were too low to run the game, so he had no choice but to watch game streamers play it on the Moyin Platform.

Because he was so focused, he didn't even realize Xu Qian was standing right in front of him.

Seeing Zhang Bo staring at the screen, Xu Qian leaned in curiously to take a look. She saw a monkey holding a long staff, skillfully jumping and flipping on the screen while dodging the attacks of a large, bald monk...

"Agh, dead again! Streamer, are you even good at this? You've been stuck here all morning..." Zhang Bo grumbled as he typed in the chat.

"Ahem," Xu Qian coughed softly and asked curiously, "Supervisor, are you watching a game stream?"

Zhang Bo was startled by Xu Qian's sudden voice. He quickly took off his headphones, stood up, and gave her an embarrassed smile, pointing at the screen. "Uh, haha, it's nothing, just watching a stream. Xiao Qian, do you... need something?"

"Oh, that..." Xu Qian smiled somewhat bashfully. "I'd like to leave a bit early at noon, so I wanted to ask for some time off."

"Oh, is that all? No problem," Zhang Bo waved his hand and said generously. "The boss already said you don't need to stick to the office schedule; you can arrange your own working hours." He paused and then leaned in, asking curiously in a low voice, "Is Young Master Qin taking you out?"

"Uh, no..." Xu Qian shook her head awkwardly and explained, "Young Master Qin's sister is moving, and she has quite a bit of luggage, so I'm going to pick her up."

"Oh? Young Master Qin's sister?" A knowing smile appeared on Zhang Bo's face, and he gave Xu Qian a thumbs-up. "It seems your meeting with Young Master Qin's family yesterday went well. Does this mean I shouldn't call you Xiao Qian anymore?"

Xu Qian didn't immediately catch Zhang Bo's underlying meaning and looked puzzled. Seeing this, Zhang Bo gave a mysterious smile and added, "I reckon it won't be long before I have to call you Mrs. Qin or Madam Qin..."

"Oh, Manager Zhang, stop teasing me..." Xu Qian's cheeks flushed slightly as she turned her head away.

"Hahaha, alright, I'm just kidding." After a few laughs, Zhang Bo turned serious. "But since it's Young Master Qin's sister, she really might be your sister-in-law in the future. Go on, get busy. If you're busy this afternoon, don't bother coming back. If anyone asks, I'll just say you're out meeting a client, so don't worry."

"Hehe, thanks, supervisor," Xu Qian smiled happily. "Then I'll head out?"

"Yeah, yeah, go ahead, go ahead!" Zhang Bo waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

Having successfully secured her leave, Xu Qian happily returned to her workstation, turned off her computer, grabbed her bag, and quickly left the Sales Department. Zhang Bo watched Xu Qian's back disappear through the door, then put his headphones back on and returned to his immersive experience of the game stream.

...

Meanwhile, on the elevated highway leading to the outskirts of Magic City, Qin Yi sat steadily in the driver's seat of the rolls-royce cullinan, his gaze sharp. He maintained a distance of four or five cars from Chen Mo's Mercedes G-Wagon. With the help of his Divine Rank God-level Driving Skill, Qin Yi easily tracked Chen Mo without drawing any attention.

In this manner, the two cars drove one after the other for nearly forty minutes. As the surroundings gradually became more open, vast peach orchards came into view on both sides of the road, and the number of freight trucks increased.

Before long, the Mercedes G-Wagon driven by Chen Mo turned off the national highway and into a small forest path shaded by dense trees. The rolls-royce cullinan driven by Qin Yi followed closely behind two freight trucks and also arrived at the entrance of that forest path.

Qin Yi originally intended to turn in, but he found the small path exceptionally narrow. The tall trees on both sides formed a natural barrier, barely allowing two cars to pass side-by-side at most, and it would be a significant test of the driver's skill.

Qin Yi's brow furrowed slightly as he stared at Chen Mo's vehicle ahead, weighing his options. He wasn't worried about his own driving skills; rather, the rolls-royce cullinan was simply too large a target. With no other vehicles on this road, he would be easily exposed. After a moment's thought, he decided to stop the car first and observe Chen Mo's movements before making a plan.

Thus, Qin Yi parked the car by the side of the national highway, turned on his hazard lights, and fixed his gaze on the real-time monitoring feed being sent back to his phone by the "Miniature Bionic Tracker."

He watched as the Mercedes G-Wagon drove slowly along the narrow forest path. The area was surrounded by dense trees and lush peach orchards, with no proper buildings in sight. However, there were quite a few forks in the road; Qin Yi couldn't help but feel lucky that he had the Miniature Bionic Tracker, otherwise he might have actually lost him.

About ten minutes later, the Mercedes G-Wagon finally turned at a fork in the forest path.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "The underground casino should be close, right?" Just as he thought this, a somewhat old two-story building appeared in the monitoring feed. It stood quietly in an open area, looking much like a factory from the sixties or seventies.

"Could that be the underground casino where Brother Dao is hiding?" Qin Yi pondered, his gaze locked onto the small building.

As expected, the brake lights of the Mercedes G-Wagon lit up, and it came to a steady stop outside the iron gate in front of the two-story building.

Qin Yi noticed that on the wall next to the iron gate, a wooden plaque clearly bore the words "Xingnong Seed Industry Cooperative." The surrounding courtyard walls were covered with surveillance cameras, and two burly men stood outside the iron gate; no matter how one looked at it, the scene did not resemble a place that sold seeds.

Seeing Chen Mo open the car door and step out, Qin Yi remotely controlled the Miniature Bionic Tracker to fly a circle around the two-story building, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

...

"Hey! What are you doing? No parking here!" one of the two burly men guarding the gate shouted at the approaching Chen Mo, a cigarette dangling from his mouth and his eyes full of suspicion.

Chen Mo remained unmoved. He looked into the courtyard with a grim face and then said coldly, "I'm looking for your boss!"

The two burly men glanced at each other and then at the Mercedes G-Wagon behind Chen Mo. Instinctively assuming he was a gambler, smiles immediately appeared on their faces. "Boss, we're really sorry. Our leader said the heat is on, and we're closed for now. You'd better head back..."

Chen Mo ignored the man's explanation. He looked directly at the two of them and said coldly, "Enough nonsense! If you're smart, open the gate now! Don't force me to take action!" As he spoke, a sharp Aura immediately radiated from him, as if he were about to strike at any second.

The two burly men were intimidated by Chen Mo's Aura and were momentarily stunned. But then, after another look at each other, they burst into disdainful, cold laughter. "Heh! I've got a short fuse—you're here to cause trouble, aren't you?!" One of them reached behind his back and pulled out a butterfly knife, flipping it expertly. He pointed the blade at Chen Mo and sneered, "Come on, let's see how much skill you've got!"

Just as the situation reached a breaking point, a voice suddenly came from the surveillance camera at the gate: "Stop it, you idiots! You blind fools, open the gate! Let Brother Mo in!"

The two lackeys were startled by the sudden command, and a flash of panic crossed their faces. They instinctively shrank back and quickly hid the butterfly knife in their waistbands, their movements betraying their fear. Then, the two of them gave a fawning salute toward the camera on the gate and hurriedly pushed open the large iron gate.

Chen Mo stood by and watched coldly, his face devoid of expression, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes; in his mind, these two were already dead. However, the most important task right now was to complete the mission assigned by the boss! As for these two gatekeepers, he would let them live a little longer.

At this moment, seeing that Chen Mo had already entered the courtyard, Qin Yi couldn't wait any longer. He quickly shifted into reverse, backed the car up a few meters, then shifted into drive and slammed on the gas. The rolls-royce cullinan instantly shot into the narrow forest path like an arrow from a bow, its wheels spinning rapidly on the rugged path and kicking up a cloud of dust.
