nZi Yi didn’t expect to be drinking coffee with her Second Uncle for three to four hours. In the end, not only did his opinion of her change, he even asked her to look for him at school the next day.
nAfter Zi Yi came out from the hotel, it was already three in the afternoon.
nShe then recalled she had planned to visit Dou Xiangling at the art gallery.
nShe took out her phone and gave her a call. “Cousin, where are you?”
nDou Xiangling was surprised at her question. “Yiyi, what’s up?”
nDou Xiangling then replied to her question even though she asked her that. “I’m at M.Uni. My mentor wants me to help him with a semester worth of classes and I’m currently going through the paperwork.”
n“I saw you at the central square in the morning and wanted to look for you. But something suddenly cropped up.”
nDou Xiangling smiled at that. “Then are you going home anytime soon? If so, I’ll come over to hang out after I’m done with the paperwork.”
nZi Yi thought for a moment. It would just be in time for dinner if she went home now. “Okay.”
nWhen Zi Yi reached home, Dou Xiangling had also just arrived.
nThey entered the courtyard and the skies were still bright at that time. Dou Xiangling asked, “Yiyi, can I look around your courtyard?”
nThe skies had already turned dark the previous time she visited.
nZi Yi nodded. “Sure.”
nDou Xiangling first greeted the housekeeper who came over to welcome them. “Hello.”
n“Hello, Miss Dou.”
nFollowing that, she went to check out the yard.
nWhile Zi Yi headed inside, the housekeeper said, “Miss Zi, there were numerous express deliveries that arrived today. I’ve had them all placed in the basement.”
nZi Yi nodded in response and planned to head downstairs for a look.
nThe housekeeper did not follow her, and instead, went to serve Dou Xiangling.
nAs a qualified housekeeper, when the host’s guests arrive, he has to serve them well.
nZi Yi went downstairs and got the robot to check the deliveries. Following that, she set up programs for several robots to get them to install the equipment for the experiments, before she then went up.
nAt that moment, Dou Xiangling was currently in a conversation with the housekeeper, while standing at the pavilion in the backyard.
nZi Yi went over and found out that she was the topic of their conversation.
nDou Xiangling seemed to have sensed her coming and turned around to look.
nThe housekeeper had also turned around and said to Zi Yi with a smile, “Miss Zi, dinner will be ready soon. You and Miss Dou should go in and take a seat.”
nZi Yi nodded and the housekeeper went in the direction of the kitchen.
nDou Xiangling walked over and said with a smile, “Yiyi, I was asking what you liked to do when you’re at home. The housekeeper said that you usually spend your time modifying cars. I didn’t expect you to like racing cars so much.”
n“It’s alright, I guess.”
nIn fact, she would not consider herself as someone who likes it. To her, without the Interstellar spaceship, those vehicles were just means of transportation. She disliked racing cars that were too slow and so, had modified them since she had nothing to do.
nThe two of them then headed towards the living room.
nAs they walked, Dou Xiangling told her about the matter where she was going to teach art at M.Uni for the next semester.
nThe skies had turned dark after they finished the dinner. The Dou family’s residence was not very far from here. If one didn’t take the route towards M.Uni, they could drive from the highway near Zi Yi’s villa. It would only take half an hour by car.
nZi Yi was worried about letting her leave alone. Even though those killers dared not pay a visit to her villa during this period of time, she could not guarantee they were not lurking in the vicinity in wait for an opportunity to capture someone she cared for, just to threaten her. “I’ll take you home.”
nDou Xiangling knew Zi Yi would never be willing to step into her house and so, she rejected her offer. “There’s no need. After you send me back, I’ll be worried about you and end up sending you back again.”
nAfter she said that, Dou Xiangling laughed at herself.
nZi Yi did not plan to argue with her. She decided to secretly follow her in the dark. On the surface, she nodded in agreement.
nShe calculated the timing and five minutes after Dou Xiangling left, Zi Yi turned on her car and drove away.
nUnexpectedly, just as she was about to catch up to Dou Xiangling’s car, she saw a suspicious car tagging behind.
nZi Yi changed to auto navigation mode, took out a circular ball and threw it out. When the ball transformed into a drone, she connected her phone to all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity.
nAs expected, there were other cars in front.
n“Heh!”
nShe sneered and pressed a button. Immediately after, a pair of wings extended from the car and she flew up into the skies.
nThe driver behind Dou Xiangling’s car was still closely monitoring the car in front when he heard a roaring sound from above.
nThe next second, a sports car suddenly descended from the skies and he had no time to step on the breaks.
n“Shi-!”
nWhile the driver gasped in fright, the car ahead had crashed.
nWhen the car crashed with the racing car, it was expected for both cars to recoil. However, only their car seemed to have been shaken and directly bounced into the air, and heavily crashed onto the ground.
nBam!
nThe car caught on fire and the people inside had clearly lost consciousness as none of them crawled out.
nZi Yi coldly glanced at the rearview mirror and continued to drive her racing car in the skies towards Dou Xiangling’s car.
nShe swiftly threw a small gadget upon catching up to it.
nVery soon, Dou Xiangling realized that there was something wrong with her car.
nShe hastily parked the car to one side and was about to alight to check the situation.
nThe moment she glanced up, she found a car descending from the skies.
nUnder Dou Xiangling’s shocked gaze, Zi Yi parked her car, stretched out her head, and greeted her with a smile. “Cousin, what a coincidence.”
n“Pft!” Dou Xiangling was amused by her words. She walked over to her and said, “Why are you here?”
n“I was worried about you and came over to check up on you. I didn’t expect to see your car breaking down halfway.”
nDou Xiangling was a little embarrassed. “I didn’t know my car would break down halfway either.”
nZi Yi pointed at her passenger seat. “Why don’t you stay at my house tonight? I’ll get the housekeeper to send for someone to repair your car.”
nDou Xiangling pondered for a second and nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
nAfter which, she headed to the passenger seat.
nAfter Dou Xiangling got in, Zi Yi kindly reminded her. “Sit tight. You might feel a little uncomfortable later.”
nDou Xiangling nodded.
nWhen the car ascended, Dou Xiangling eyes widened in shock once again.
nHowever, the shock only lasted for one second before the car flew out.
nA few minutes later, the car was parked in the courtyard. Dou Xiangling opened the door, ran out, quickly found a trashcan to throw up.
nThe housekeeper came over and Zi Yi said, “Please send someone to repair my cousin’s car. It’s ten kilometers away from here.”
nThe housekeeper calmly checked over Zi Yi, then at Dou Xiangling who was still puking at one side. He seemed to have thought of something and said, “I understand, Miss Zi.”
nHaving said that, he immediately sent out a few people.
n“Please help me take care of my cousin. I have something important to do.”
nFollowing that, Zi Yi headed to the computer room upstairs.
nSince those people dared to have bad intentions towards her cousin, then they can’t blame her for retaliating.
