Chapter 234: A narrow escape

"Of course host, such a small serum is not a problem for me to provide. Only fifty thousand points in the mall." He answered proudly.

"Get one, in fact you should get me two; let’s make sure we are not bringing snakes into our den. But why is the truth serum cheap?" she asked curiously.

She was could not imagine such a powerful serum being so cheap. Well she was only calling it cheap because T4 was calling it cheap. If earth had truth serum, it would be very expensive, probably something sold for millions.

It would even be a banned product among the common people. Just imagine everyone having access to truth serum; someone could make you reveal all your deepest secrets and sources of wealth.

"Because, host, in the beginning, according to the history of our world, superior mental strength wielders went around committing crimes and they would get away with it because their minds are extremely shielded that ordinary law enforcement officers could not get them to admit to their crimes without concrete proof.

With the creation of the truth serum, one shot and they could give away all their secrets. It has helped my home world in controlling such strong dangerous criminals."

Chi Lian shivered slightly when T4 said one shot and they could give away all their secrets. It was just as she thought, truth serum was dangerous. Useful yes, but dangerous.

"Boss," Piggy called her quizzically. He was wondering why she was suddenly distracted in the midst of their phone call.

"Oh, yes, I got a little side tracked, show me Fu Jui again." She requested.

Piggy turned the phone around and Fu Jui’s little handsome face was in her sight once again.

"Hello Fu Jui, I am Lady Chi." She spoke cheerfully and waved her hand eagerly just as one did when they were speaking to a child. "I am Piggy’s boss, so the deal you have is not with him, it’s with him. I promise you that I will make sure you are well taken of when you get here." She promised.

"Okay." Fu Jui replied with one nod of his head. "Thank you."

That was all he said and he kept looking at her carefully, observing her curiously.

Chi Lian on her end was startled, what was wrong with Fu Jui? He was just as reserved as her little monk. How could the two become friends if they had the same personality?

"Fu Jui, when you come here, I will buy a lot of toys and send you to the best kindergarten." She said sonorously in a voice nursery teacher’s used to make children understand things.

"Okay, thank you." Fu Jui answered with another head nod and went silent.

Chi Lian wanted to pinch the little brat’s cheeks. Where was his argumentative persona that Piggy had mentioned?

"Can I get your promises in writing?" Fu Jui suddenly asked. "I trust the law more than words."

Chi Lian laughed, so this is what Piggy meant when he said the little brat was all about the law. Maybe he would make a great lawyer someday, the best in the empire perhaps.

"Don’t worry, when you get to the city, I will send my brother to sign the contract on my behalf since I have left for a little trip. I will be back earliest next week on Friday."

"No, I will wait for you." Fu Jui answered her in his childish determined voice. "Only the boss’s words count, you have said that you are the boss. Sidekicks don’t count."

Once more, Chi Lian guffawed. Little Fu Jui was quite the character.

Piggy who had just been grouped in with the sidekicks frowned at Fu Jui with a heartbroken look on his face. Did the brat have to stab him so hard? Even though he was a side kick, his words counted. He was the original signatory on the documents after all.

"Host, you need to hear this really quickly." T4’s panicked voice loudly called her in her mind.

She put the phone down and opened her virtual screen; she could hear two men talking. It sounded like a phone call.

"It’s the car in front of us; there are two adult men and one little boy. When they stop at the red light, just drive your car into theirs." One voice said.

"Are you sure, will my family receive the money if I do this?" the other asked.

"Yes, how many times do I have to say it? Your family is going to receive the money in case you go to prison. But Like I said, it’s snowing, the roads are slippery nobody will consider it to be anything more than a random accident." The first voice replied.

"Okay, I will do it, but if I am not paid, I will not go down alone." The other voice threatened.

"Just shut up and do the job you are being paid to do. Do you think this our first time handling an operation like this? And you better pour some alcohol on your clothes too, in case we fail to make it look like an accident, it should become a case of drunk driving. Just make sure that you wreck the car so badly that everyone inside dies." The first voice instructed.

"Host, these are the men who were following you. Piggy and Squirrel took off their masks before leaving the town and they are driving your car. It sounds like they are going to be killed in a pretend car accident."

The drone camera which was following those two men had not picked up anything for days and now this. On the screen, she switched to the drone’s video footage and saw that the men were indeed slowly driving behind her range rover.

Chi Lian picked up her phone, the video call was still ongoing although it was silent right now.

"Piggy," she called urgently.

"Yes boss." He answered immediately.

"I think your plan worked a little too well, the men who followed us to Xunwai are right behind you. They have arranged a truck ahead to crash into the car and kill you all when you stop at the red light."

"Oh fuck, boss we are coming to the red light." Squirrel squealed.

"Get out of the car nooooow." She said urgently. "Get out, out, out." She kept saying worriedly.

The scope of the drone expanded from just the men it was tailing to Piggy and Squirrel and every car that was about to stop. There was a truck, coming from the right side at a very high speed. It seemed to be swerving left and right as if the driver had lost control of it.

Squirrel jumped out of the car and Piggy did the same with Fu Jui who was very terrified in his arms.

A few seconds after they jumped out, the truck rammed into their vehicle. They had just narrowly survived death.
