Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 760: Chapter 734: Return the retaliation in the same way it was dealt (Thanks to Hua Piaoling’s He Shi Bi for the update)

“Could it be a case of smoke and mirrors to mislead us from suspecting Old Mai? Or perhaps she already discovered the secret on my phone, and is saying all this deliberately to lead us off the scent?”

“We can’t rule out this possibility, but from what I feel, she genuinely seems unaware of the surveillance device on your phone.”

Yu Minglang trusted his intuition.

“That’s strange then, aside from Old Mai, I haven’t offended anyone recently. Who would instruct her to monitor me—hey, why are you looking at me like that?”

Yu Minglang was eyeing Xiao Qian with a classic ‘jealous king’s gaze’, giving her the creeps.

“Lately, you haven’t attracted any frivolous flirtations, right? Such as inadvertently infatuating someone again?”

...

“What are you talking about? When have I ever got involved with frivolous flirtations!”

“You have, many times!”

“It’s only Old Mai! Did you see how he was standing there like a dumb calf earlier? Was that my fault?”

Yu Minglang wanted to say, ‘You only know about Old Mai, but what you don’t know…haha!!’

Romantic rivals were in endless supply. Yu Minglang had chased away countless of them; he only personally dealt with the ones with unusual backgrounds. This didn’t even include pesky kids from her school who dared to covet his woman despite being green behind the ears!

But these weren’t important at the moment.

“Buckle up, I’m taking you to chase those two bastards who dared to stir up trouble!”

The two strong men had been gone for a few minutes now. Xiao Qian wasn’t sure if they could catch up. Yu Minglang drove with her with an air of certainty. It didn’t seem like he was chasing someone at all, considering he could still tease her in between.

“Darling, what do you think would happen if you gained 30 pounds?” Yu Minglang murmured to himself before quickly shaking his head, “No, I feel that even if you gained 30 pounds, men would still fancy you. You would need to gain at least 50 pounds before I can rest easy.”

“Yu Minglang, you’re so malicious! Are you cursing me to gain 50 pounds?” If it weren’t for him driving, Xiao Qian really wanted to kick him.

“Never mind, gaining 50 pounds is bad for health. You should just remain as you are now. I’ll take care of the rest. Men keep falling for my wife, it gives me such a headache…”

“I’m not RMB, not everyone is going to like me. You’re overthinking it.” Xiao Qian had never believed she had much luck with men.

Yu Minglang was grateful that Xiao Qian was a bit slow in picking up emotions. This allowed him to operate behind her back, like swatting flies. Ultimately, it was her good looks and personality that attracted people.

Yu Minglang wisely dropped the topic, letting her stay clueless all the way.

“Should we stop chasing? We’re almost at Linmen Bridge. Once we cross it, there will be many roads to choose from. How are you going to chase them?”

There was only one road from Xiao Qian’s school in their direction. It would lead to a multitude of roads once they crossed Linmen Bridge, which Xiao Qian thought was impossible.

“You never listen when I tell you to learn more about the road conditions. If the Linmen Bridge is lifted, how are they going to cross?”

“Stop joking. Doesn’t the Linmen Bridge only lift at 2 pm?”

Linmen Bridge was the most unique bridge in Lin City. The Lin River flowed beneath it, preserving the shipping functions. Since the city was large, some goods from the east of the city were transported to the west via the Lin River. Because the heights of the ships exceeded the height of the bridge, this Linmen Bridge, which was built in the early 90s, had a lifting function.

When a ship passed, a part of the bridge could automatically detach and lift. Once the ship had passed, the bridge would lower, and the vehicles could continue.

This was a significant breakthrough in bridge construction technology at the time.

However, it did have an impact on the city’s traffic since the bridge would be lifted from 2 pm to 2:30 pm daily, causing a long line of congestion.

Luckily, the residents had become accustomed to it over the years and would change their routes accordingly.

It was only noon now, and Xiao Qian didn’t understand why Yu Minglang mentioned the bridge lifting.

“The bridge is usually lifted at 2 pm, but for special activities, the Dispatch Center will cooperate with us. What do you think will happen to those two if they reach Linmen Bridge and then, suddenly, the bridge rises?”

“Ah!”

Xiao Qian got it, and slapped her forehead—why hadn’t she thought of it sooner? Of course, Yu Minglang had a special status!

“When it comes to cases involving international criminals, I’m given slightly more authority.” As soon as Xiao Qian raised a question, Yu Minglang immediately contacted his superiors, predicting that the two culprits would head toward Linmen Bridge.

Because any other route at this time would be stuck in a traffic jam.

“By my calculations, they should be reaching Linmen Bridge soon. It’s also coincidentally rush hour. Guess what’s going to happen?” Yu Minglang nonchalantly tapped the steering wheel.

No wonder he could study irrelevant stuff like body weight during an exhilarating pursuit. Xiao Qian finally understood—he had planned everything in advance!

Xiao Qian looked forward to what was going to happen next.

The way Yu Minglang used his brains was simply unbelievable! From the moment he received the call, he started accurately calculating which route the enemy would take if they tried to escape. He then deduced the best time to lift the bridge based on their speed.

If the bridge was lifted too early, the culprits could realize something was wrong and turn back. If it was lifted after they passed, it would be too late to catch them.

The timing was crucial. The bridge would lift suddenly at the right moment, causing the cars in front to come to a halt, blocking the getaway route. They wouldn’t be able to turn around due to the cars behind them.

The culprits, being foreigners, wouldn’t understand the local traffic situation. Seeing the traffic jam ahead, they wouldn’t understand what was happening. By the time they did, it would be too late as cars would fill the road behind them, rendering them immobile.

“To dare commit offences on our territory without considering the traffic situation is brainless.” Yu Minglang spoke with utmost confidence.

He was talented in all aspects! City fortification was his forte. Otherwise, why would Xiao Qiang attain his high-ranking position at such a young age?

“Tsk, I feel a sense of superiority. I’ve found myself a very capable man.” Xiao Qian was mesmerized by his confident demeanor.

“You just realized? Thinking of laying a finger on my wife in my territory, they’d have to see if they’re capable first. They bullied you earlier, right? Watch, we’ll give them a taste of their own medicine!”

“Am I about to see a scene only found in movies? A line of cars stuck in front of Linmen Bridge, and then, suddenly, ropes descend from the detached section of the bridge, with hooded figures rappelling down?”

The thought of that scene excited Xiao Qian; it would be so thrilling and spectacular.

“If you want to see that, it will have to wait for next time. This time, it’s not possible.”

“Er… okay.”

“There’s no need to involve many people to deal with these guys. I can handle it myself. Come, let’s capture those ghosts. Hold tight~”

No need for back up. Brother Lang alone could satisfy his wife’s crave for thrill. She wanted excitement—he would give it to her!
