Chapter 442 The Cicada's Escape Plan
As the group walked out of the restaurant, Lu Mingye received a phone call and fell behind.
"what?"
His voice suddenly grew louder, and the group immediately turned around.
Making such a remark at this time is definitely not a good thing.
Lu Mingye's expression was solemn. He listened for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.
"Have……"
Before he could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted. "Watch out!"
Before he could warn him, Ye Sanqing had already sensed the approaching danger.
At this moment, she acted entirely on instinct. With her right hand, she grabbed Sheng Hanyu, with her left hand she pushed Ye Jiner, turned around and kicked Lu Mingye, then jumped back.
They barely avoided the van that was heading straight for them.
With a loud crash, the antique-style pillars at the entrance of the restaurant were smashed, and decorative tiles and other items fell down with a clatter.
Lu Mingye got up from the ground in a disheveled state, shook off the dust from his head, and checked on everyone's condition.
Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu were fine, and Ye Jin'er was pushed aside, but he seemed to be standing steadily.
The two boy band members were already some distance away from them, so they weren't affected, but they were still pale-faced.
He could see very clearly that the car was heading towards Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu.
But are you kidding me?!
He's here too!
If Ye Sanqing hadn't kicked him, he'd probably be keeping Lu Wangshen company by now.
What wheelchair brothers...
An Yueyuan had already stepped forward to check on the driver's condition. After she finished looking at him, she shook her head at Ye Sanqing.
Ye Sanqing reacted faster than her in the end; she only had time to block some of the flying debris.
An Yueyuan looked ashamed, but Ye Sanqing did not reprimand her at this moment.
After all, when it comes to reaction speed, there are probably very few people in the world who can surpass Ye Sanqing, and that's not what An Yueyuan mainly wants to do.
Moreover, hitting someone with a car in a busy downtown area is incredibly audacious.
"Are you okay?"
Ye Sanqing asked the crowd.
"Luckily, I'm agile."
Ye Jin'er spoke with a calm expression, showing no signs of being affected.
Actually, he was quite surprised himself.
He was half a second slower in reacting. He originally intended to dodge on his own, but Ye Sanqing sent a force that allowed him to dodge to a greater distance.
Sheng Hanyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Ye."
As soon as Ye Sanqing pulled him, he knew which way to dodge, and the situation was alright.
The other two could only nod in silence.
Even if they hadn't been hit, they wouldn't be yelling and screaming right now.
As a result, only Lu Mingye was in a rather sorry state.
He didn't have much martial arts background, so Ye Sanqing's kick to him was almost like kicking a sandbag. He couldn't coordinate his kick to gain leverage and could only fall to the side.
Even more unfortunate was that he was standing closest to the house...
"What were you going to say just now?"
After confirming everyone's situation, Ye Sanqing ignored the lobby manager who had run out to check on things and went straight to ask Lu Mingye.
"There was a car accident."
Lu Mingye immediately regained his serious expression, "We crashed into the Sixth Concubine's car. She also suffered minor injuries and is now insisting on going to the hospital."
It has to be said that he was unaffected by the dust and debris on his face and head, and when he made this statement with a serious expression, he actually looked quite professional.
"We can't let them go."
Ye Sanqing quickly decided, "This must be a scheme to escape unscathed."
"That's what I thought too, so I refused and just told the seriously injured to stay where they were and wait for rescue."
A waiter followed him out and handed Lu Mingye a wet towel. He took it and wiped his face while saying, "But it's a bit strange. This doesn't seem like a scheme that Sixth Concubine could come up with."
"Master Ying has made his move, or rather, this was his original backup plan."
Ye Sanqing shook his head.
Even if the Lu family's territory has jamming devices, without confiscating their phones, the one or two hours it would take to get there would be enough time for them to make arrangements.
Lu Mingye still has shortcomings in his work.
Lu Mingye knew this himself, and he sighed, "I'm sorry, this is the best way I could handle it. I just didn't expect..."
He looked at the van.
Since they knew Ye Sanqing was here, there was no reason why they didn't know that Lu Mingye was with them.
Is this a plan to fight to the death?
It seems that almost everything has been leaked, and this move is aimed at either killing him or injuring him.
Otherwise, Master Ying would have no reason to take action against him, the heir of the Lu family.
Moreover, it is very likely that Ninth Master Ying plans to cooperate with Lu Wangqian. This is both an act of revenge for Sixth Concubine's cooperation route being sold out and a pledge of loyalty.
After all, Lu Mingye didn't have any shady businesses, while Lu Wangqian was a gang leader.
Previously, Master Ying might have been able to remotely control mainland casinos through cooperation with the Sixth Concubine's forces, but he was probably not satisfied with that.
Lu Mingye recalled several times when he had politely declined the other party's cooperation requests.
He didn't know how Lu Wangshen's online business was integrated with the other party, and he'd better not know, but then again...
Since the online business is also gone, it seems quite normal for Master Ying to go all in on Lu Wangqian.
Now that things have come to this, Lu Mingye has to admire the other party's efficiency.
He had only planned to take everyone present to the police station a few hours ago, yet he was able to deploy the assassin so quickly…
Or was this originally planned to attack Ye Sanqing after he came out?
He looked at Ye Sanqing.
Ye Sanqing had obviously thought of all this as well, and laughed, "Let's go to the police station. Let him try to attack me again if he dares."
"By the way... I'll file a police report." She looked at the van.
Even without looking, it's obvious that with the front of the car smashed like that, the person is basically dead.
This kind of assassin couldn't have been found on the spot; they must have been prepared in advance, just to be used when carrying out this mission.
It seems that Master Ying's influence is even more deeply rooted than they thought.
"I have already reported it to the police."
Sheng Hanyu held up her phone and said.
As soon as the situation stabilized, he immediately reported the incident via text message, because there were wrecked cars, and professionals were definitely needed to eliminate the risk of explosion.
In situations like this, he should be able to react faster than Lu Mingye.
"Okay, let's go."
Ye Sanqing said no more, got into the car and left.
Lu Mingye exchanged a few words with the restaurant manager and then followed.
"Why won't you let me go to the hospital? Do you even know who I am?!"
As soon as I entered the police station, I heard the sixth concubine's shrill voice.
They naturally couldn't stay in the lobby, so Lu Mingye headed straight for the large conference room next door.
"Sixth Grandma".
He nodded slightly to the others who greeted him, then walked straight to the sixth concubine and said, "Put away those useless things; things are getting worse now."
"Mingye? You're here! Tell them I'm injured!"
The sixth concubine raised her arm, which had a small abrasion on it, and a small bruise on her forehead.
"You're only injured, but I almost died."
