The Rebirth of the Socialite's Glory (GL) - Chapter 27

The woman being stepped on let out an involuntary scream, stimulated by the sharp pain. The other three women, hearing her painful cry, reacted and prepared to move against Feng Hua. Feng Hua glanced at Ye Qiu, who smiled and winked at Feng Hua. While seemingly unhurried, Ye Qiu quickly took action, instantly subduing the other three and throwing them to the ground. Her force was extremely heavy, leaving the women immobilized on the ground.

An Ye’s expression was now beyond simple astonishment… What had he seen? The seemingly delicate and weak Ye Qiu in his mind actually possessed such great strength. Her movements in a fight were fluid and practiced. It was clear she had a lot of practical experience and had done this before.

It turns out I really didn’t understand Ye Qiu at all. An Ye’s feelings were complex at this moment.

Shi Kexuan had also learned some self-defense techniques, but besides sparring with her coach, she had no real experience fighting people. Watching Feng Hua and Ye Qiu’s clean, swift movements, she was very surprised, envious, and a little curious.

There had always been an invisible sense of tacit understanding between Feng Hua and Ye Qiu. Could this rapport really have developed during that year in Country M?

An Ye opened his mouth, and it took a while before he could make a sound. “Feng Hua, what are you doing? How can you just hit people? And incite Ye Qiu to hit people with you!”

Feng Hua ignored An Ye. She slightly eased the pressure of her foot on the woman and said in a voice as cold as ice, “What are you trying to do?”

The woman either didn’t want to speak or couldn’t speak due to the pain, and she didn’t utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Feng Hua frowned. The women were subdued, but the ominous feeling in her heart persisted.

In truth, her immediate action against them was not only because her beloved car was damaged, though that was part of it. The main reason was that Feng Hua sensed something unusual about these people, which immediately put her on alert.

Moreover, they reminded her of the ‘Fallen Angels’.

An Ye saw that Feng Hua continued to press her foot onto the beautiful woman’s face, her brows tightly knitted but with no intention of letting up. He scolded her in dissatisfaction, “Feng Hua, even if you’re jealous that others are prettier than you, you shouldn’t treat people like this, should you? All she did was kick your car. Why do you have to humiliate a woman like this… You savage!”

“Shut up!”

“Shut up!”

Feng Hua and Ye Qiu yelled simultaneously.

An Ye stared at Ye Qiu in surprise. He hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to speak to him like that.

Feng Hua had never felt An Ye was so annoyingly noisy. She shot a sharp glare at An Ye. Seeing him stiffen, Feng Hua snorted and decided to ignore him for now. Feng Hua bent down and grabbed the woman’s wrist. A plain silver bangle adorned the fair wrist. She tilted the bangle to an angle, slowly turning it in a circle until it stopped. On the inner side of the bangle, she saw a hexagram pattern.

The color of the hexagram was a deep red, darker than the color of bl00d, giving it a sinister feel.

“‘Fallen Angels’,” Feng Hua whispered, using a statement rather than a question.

The eyes of the four women lying on the ground all narrowed, revealing a hint of surprise.

“Did you come for An Ye or for me this time?” Feng Hua stared into the eyes of the woman beneath her foot. The woman still didn’t speak, but Feng Hua directly concluded, “It seems you came for me.”

The woman’s pupils widened in surprise again. Feng Hua figured she had guessed correctly.

The atmosphere became somewhat unusual. Shi Kexuan’s expression had changed from nonchalant to serious, and An Ye also quieted down. After hearing Feng Hua’s question about whether they were there for him or for her, he felt a certain level of alertness.

Are these the same people who tried to deal with me before?

But why? An Ye intensely scrutinized the women but couldn’t spot any difference. No, perhaps there was a difference. These women didn’t seem like ordinary women. Their eyes were full of apathy, lacking the vitality and emotion appropriate for their age.

And while Feng Hua also possessed an unusual demeanor that surpassed her age, she was significantly different from these women.

For the first time, An Ye’s mind raced, as he had already felt the threat to his life from the previous incident.

The ominous feeling in Feng Hua’s heart hadn’t disappeared, but she couldn’t immediately figure out what was wrong. It was then that Ye Qiu’s calm voice reached Feng Hua’s ear, clearly pointing out the unsettling feeling. “They don’t seem to have any intention of escaping, it’s as if…”

“It’s as if they are deliberately stalling,” Feng Hua also realized.

“Get in the car.” Ye Qiu pulled Feng Hua’s hand.

An Ye and Shi Kexuan exchanged a glance and quickly scrambled into their car.

Ye Qiu shoved Feng Hua into the passenger seat. “You’re tired. Let me drive now.”

Feng Hua nodded. “Be careful.”

Ye Qiu smiled at Feng Hua, immediately got into the car, started the engine, and left the four women behind.

The four women who had been writhing on the ground saw the cars completely leave, then struggled and slowly stood up. The woman who had been most badly treated by Feng Hua wiped the dirt from her face, then gasped in pain. A vicious glint flashed in her eyes as she looked in the direction the cars had left. The group remained in place with no intention of chasing after them, a cold sneer hanging on their lips, as if looking at a group of dead people.

Feng Hua dialed Shi Kexuan’s number.

“Those people probably have others coming to meet them. They were likely stalling for time just now,” Feng Hua said.

Shi Kexuan’s voice came through the phone’s speaker. “What’s wrong with those people? What do they want?”

“They want to kill people,” Feng Hua said indifferently.

Shi Kexuan & An Ye, who were on speakerphone: …

Feng Hua instructed, “There’s a smaller fork in the road halfway through this track. You guys should leave through there immediately.”

“Huh? What about you two?” Hearing that Feng Hua didn’t plan to continue down the main road, Shi Kexuan asked anxiously. An Ye, who was driving, also perked up his ears. His Ye Qiu was still in Feng Hua’s car!

Feng Hua said, “Those people are probably after me. You’ll be in danger if you follow me. Get out of there quickly!”

An Ye was stunned by the words, then reacted with anger. “It’s you again! I’ve been unlucky ever since I met you!” An Ye cursed, “Sh1t,” then roared into the phone, “Feng Hua, Ye Qiu is still in your car! You better be careful! If anything happens to her, even if you die, I’ll drag you out and flog your corpse!”

Feng Hua expressionlessly hung up the phone and turned to Ye Qiu. “An Ye really loves you.”

Ye Qiu answered seriously, “Not as much as I love you.”

“What did you say?” In a momentary lapse, Feng Hua didn’t quite catch what Ye Qiu had said, which wasn’t very loud.

“Nothing. Watch the back. Is there a car tailgating us?” Ye Qiu smiled faintly but did not repeat what she had just said.

Feng Hua paid attention to the surroundings, but after a while, she still didn’t spot any suspicious vehicles tailgating them. Feng Hua glanced at the sky and saw that the surveillance drones were gone, and the monitors at the critical passages were also missing. “It seems my premonition was correct. Someone is indeed targeting me, and they’re aiming for something big.”

The methods of the ‘Fallen Angels’ were extremely brutal. They always went for the kill with no chance of survival. This operation was probably not just a kidnapping; it was a direct attempt to silence someone permanently.

However, Feng Hua was confused about why the ‘Fallen Angels’ had chosen her as a target. Weren’t their usual targets men? And looking back at her seventeen years of history, she hadn’t committed any life-threatening, persecuting, or similar acts. This targeting was utterly inexplicable.

Or, was the attacker not the ‘Fallen Angels’ at all, but someone acting under their name?

“Xiao Hua, look ahead.” Ye Qiu’s long brows were tightly furrowed, and she had a bad feeling about the car driving in front of them.

Feng Hua looked ahead as instructed. Her pupils contracted, and she quickly said to Ye Qiu, “Slow down, turn around!”

“We can’t. This area is too narrow to change direction,” Ye Qiu looked at the track and concluded.

This racetrack was built with a significant investment by the City A Racing Club, not only for professional racers but also for those seeking excitement. The track featured many challenging segments, and to make it even more thrilling, some sections were built between mountains, with one side being a steep slope.

The section they were in right now happened to be the most dangerous part. One side was like a cliff, and the road was narrow, making it easy to fall if one wasn’t careful.

Feng Hua took a deep breath and calmed down. After clearly assessing the situation, she quickly warned Ye Qiu, “I suspect they’ll drive against traffic…”

Based on the information provided by Little Six, the members of the ‘Fallen Angels’ organization were absolutely obedient to orders, and their methods were extremely ruthless and unscrupulous. Feng Hua was worried that they would be so insane as to drive against traffic, resulting in mutual destruction.

She had to admit that, even though many of her decisions facing certain situations lacked concrete evidence, following her gut feeling was surprisingly accurate.

The car indeed drove against traffic.

All they could do now was gamble with their lives.

In this most tense moment, the thing Feng Hua most wanted to do was turn and look at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu’s face was also covered in sweat, but Feng Hua didn’t dare to wipe it off for her and distract her.

Ye Qiu… Ye Qiu… Memories of her time with Ye Qiu flooded Feng Hua’s mind—the things she saw in her dreams about her past life, and the moments she shared with Ye Qiu in this life. She had thought she hadn’t taken them to heart, but she realized that many details and memories were subtly imprinted in her mind.

The two cars collided. Feng Hua couldn’t determine the current scene. She only felt a shift in their center of gravity. If it weren’t for the seatbelt, she would probably have already tumbled into the back of the car. Yes, the car was upside down.

The car was rapidly tumbling. Feng Hua watched wide-eyed as Ye Qiu quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and threw herself onto Feng Hua’s body. Then, she felt a sticky liquid smearing her face, and her nostrils were filled with the smell of rust.

In the last moments before her consciousness faded, only one thought occupied Feng Hua’s mind.

Ye Qiu, I’m sorry…
