Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 838 - Chapter 838 Chapter 838 No Way What Should We Do

Chapter 838: Chapter 838: No Way, What Should We Do? Chapter 838: Chapter 838: No Way, What Should We Do? “Yes,” Jiang Jing’s eyes flickered, a barely noticeable jealousy flashing across the depths, “I didn’t want to either, but she wanted to bet with me.”

She told a small lie.

Xu Qiao looked surprised, “She indeed needs to be taught a lesson.”

Her daughter was so excellent, yet the Li Family had dismissed her. She was determined to make it crystal clear to the Li Family what a mistake they had made by choosing Qiao Yun.

“However, your bet is a bit too high.”

Xu Qiao, still cautious about the Li Family’s reaction if Jiang Jing went too far, suggested, “Let’s not push her out of the circles, just teach her a lesson.”

Hearing this, Jiang Jing’s gentle face turned somewhat cold, “We’ll see when the time comes, we still don’t know what the outcome will be.”

Xu Qiao was slightly startled, “Jingjing, are you not confident?”

Jiang Jing paused slightly, then calmly replied, “How could that be.”

Xu Qiao was reassured, “That’s what I thought, there’s no way my daughter could be inferior to her.”

In her eyes, Jiang Jing was absolutely perfect.

Jiang Jing felt very uncomfortable inside. If it had been before, she would have agreed with her mother, but now she only found it grating.

Before she had witnessed Qiao Yun’s capabilities, she too had thought that Qiao Yun couldn’t match up to her.

Jiang Jing lost her appetite and stood up, saying to them, “I should leave now, otherwise I’ll be late and all will be for naught.”

Jiang Shaocheng knew the rules of Tianqi Research Institute and hurriedly said, “Go on, don’t miss the time.”

It would be entirely beneficial for Jiang Family if Jiang Jing could enter Tianqi Research Institute.

Jiang Jing nodded to her parents and picked up her bag from the chair to leave.

Jiang Yuan, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly said, “I’m going too.”

“Where are you going?” Xu Qiao scolded, “Do you still want to keep your hands?”

Jiang Yuan pouted, verbally complying but already planning to sneakily follow.

After being scolded by the Li Family, he had indeed been nervous for a while.

But as the Li Family did not continue to trouble him afterward, his scheming nature resurfaced.

He already knew that Li Miao was in Yuncheng, and Jiang Yuan thought bitterly, his injury couldn’t have been for nothing.

“Dad, Mom, I’m full. I’m going upstairs now.”

With that, Jiang Yuan ran upstairs.

Xu Qiao did not bother about him and asked Jiang Shaocheng with a puzzled expression, “How has Jingjing been lately? She used to be so confident.”

Jiang Shaocheng spoke irritably, “Do you think who saved everyone on the cruise ship? It was Qiao Yun.”

Xu Qiao was behind on the news, not up to date since Jiang Shaocheng had been in a bad mood recently and had not told her. Now, merely surprised for a moment, she dismissed it, “Is Jingjing upset just because of that? It’s simple, just beat her today and regain her pride.”

Jiang Shaocheng spoke in displeasure, “You ignorant woman, things aren’t as simple as you think.”

Xu Qiao was perplexed. Why was she ignorant?

Could her daughter lose to Qiao Yun?

Xu Qiao suddenly stood up.

Jiang Shaocheng was startled, “What’s with the sudden outburst?”

Xu Qiao declared, “I need to go and see for myself. I can only relax if I see her lose to Jingjing personally, and family members of participants can accompany them.”

She was still brooding over how Qiao Yun had swindled a large sum of money from the Jiang Family at the cruise auction.

The girl was young but full of cunning tricks; it was hard to ensure she wouldn’t pull any dirty tricks on Jingjing. She had to go and keep an eye on her.

…

Since Xu Qiao decided to go as a family member, Jiang Jing accompanied her.

The road to the assessment venue had only one path, and along the way, Jiang Jing was very silent, clearly uneasy.

She stared out of the car window, her gaze vacant, her mind filled with equations.

At that moment, her phone in her pocket started buzzing.

Jiang Jing snapped back to reality, took her phone out of her pocket and saw that it was Han Luo sending her another message.

Han Luo had sent her a message, urging her to focus on the assessment to strive for a place at Tianqi Research Institute.

Jiang Jing stared at the message, her face confused and puzzled.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard her father’s words, and Han Luo was indeed a bit odd, but she had been using him before, so she hadn’t taken it seriously.

As she was pondering, a loud crash suddenly came from the rear of the car.

Xu Qiao jumped, leaned out of the window to look back, and when she saw what had happened behind them, she cried out in a tone filled with relief of having narrowly escaped disaster.

Jiang Jing asked her, “Mom, what happened back there?”

Xu Qiao patted her chest, “It was terrifying, there’s been a car accident behind us, a large truck collided and caused a landslide.”

Jiang Jing was startled, then realized, and asked, “Doesn’t that mean the road is blocked?”

Xu Qiao nodded, “Definitely blocked for a while, it was really close; if we were any later, we probably couldn’t have passed.”

Jiang Jing suddenly laughed, her unease suddenly receding, “Even the heavens are on my side.”

The road was blocked, and if Qiao Yun hadn’t arrived yet, she definitely couldn’t pass.

That would mean she forfeited by default.

…

Ten minutes earlier.

In the car.

Zhou You drove in front, glanced at Lu Shiran and Li Miao through the rearview mirror, appearing as if he had something to say but hesitated.

Qiao Yun gave him a glance and said lightly, “If you have something to say, say it.”

Zhou You no longer hesitated and spoke, “Boss, regarding the matter of Lu Zhanxing being assassinated, I found something.”

“What?” Lu Shiran wasn’t aware of the entertainment scene so didn’t know about this incident; his eyes widened in shock as he asked, “Who was assassinated? How did it happen? When did this happen? How come I didn’t know, no, why didn’t anyone tell me?”

Qiao Yun reassured him, “Second brother is fine, don’t worry.”

“Really, he’s alright?”

“Yes.”

Only then did Lu Shiran slightly relax, his expression grave, “It wasn’t an accident, right?”

Zhou You replied, “Initially, we investigated the people involved in the drinking session, but found no leads. Later, we changed our approach, starting from mentally ill individuals, and we discovered that his appearing there might not have been an accident…”

Zhou You’s words were halfway through when he saw a large truck ahead apparently skidding, uncontrollably colliding with the mountainside.

The massive force of the impact caused the earth on the edge of the mountain road to fall off and scatter across the ground.

Zhou You reacted quickly, stepping on the brake to avoid the entire car being buried under the earth.

Qiao Yun’s body uncontrollably lurched forward, then back into the seat, and when the car came to a stop, Lu Shiran was the first to check on Qiao Yun.

“Little sister, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Qiao Yun, maintaining her composure, looked up at the road that was completely blocked, her brow furrowing slightly.

Lu Shiran having heart palpitations, said, “It looks to be blocked, let’s take another route, otherwise we don’t know when it will be cleared.”

But Qiao Yun shook her head, “There’s only this road.”

It wasn’t that there weren’t other roads, but taking a detour now would take at least two more hours.

Lu Shiran was bewildered, “No way, what do we do now?”

Qiao Yun squinted slightly, looked ahead, then looked back, the road behind was already jammed.

There was no way back, and no way forward.
