Chapter 579: Dismissal, Assassination
Chapter 579
When the higher-ups at the Brocade Embroidery Workshop heard her attitude, they were instantly enraged!
Despite Xin Ziqing, the founder, being present, they could not be stopped from unanimously voting to remove her from her position as the Design Director.
#BrocadeEmbroideryWorkshopDesignDirectorRemoved#
#ShortestServingDesignDirectorInHistory#
These two trending topics quickly appeared on Weibo, infuriating Xin Ziqing!
Although separated by oceans, she was still aware of the situation back home.
She didn't expect the Brocade Embroidery Workshop to actually dare to do this!
They directly fired her!
Xin Ziqing was furious, while Lan Qian's face darkened as court officials came to "invite" them to explain the situation.
Seeing this, Xin Ziqing's face turned black.
Didn't they have all the evidence and witness testimony? What more was there to explain?
Xin Ziqing felt utterly suppressed these past few days!
After all, Shangyuan was better. If this had happened at Shangyuan, none of these people would have dared to go against her!
...
"Buckle up, the situation doesn't seem right."
Rong Dai and the others were still on their way back to the hotel when Jing Chen warned them in a low voice halfway through.
"What's wrong?"
Rong Dai instinctively looked out the side windows, but could only see the pouring rain.
Since Bertelen Castle was far from the city center, the return journey took time, and the roads on either side were quite deserted, with a few abandoned factories along the way.
"I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. Fasten your seatbelts and pull down the car curtains."
Jing Chen shook his head, his face tense.
Song Xuechun and Rong Dai didn't dare neglect his instructions and immediately pulled down the curtains.
"Keep low, and no matter what happens, don't scream unless I tell you to."
Jing Chen warned them, reaching under the car seat to retrieve a gun and quickly loading it!
Bang!
Suddenly, gunshots rang out from a distance, hitting the door panel at the back! Although it was an armored vehicle, the collision with the bullets created a piercing, shrill sound.
Song Xuechun's face was filled with terror, her entire body shaking uncontrollably!
Rong Dai's expression was grave. Having experienced the cruelty of the battlefield and the dark events of her past life, she remained relatively composed.
However, she was still unfamiliar with firearms and felt a lingering fear deep down.
"Don't stick your head out!"
Jing Chen's eyes turned icy cold as he rapidly dialed Zong Che's number while quickly turning the car around!
"Going back to Bertelen Castle is the safest option now. There are bound to be more ambushes ahead!"
Jing Chen explained to the two, slamming on the accelerator, causing the entire car to nearly take off!
Rong Dai pursed her lips tightly, giving him a muffled acknowledgment.
But as soon as the car turned around, a more intense barrage of gunshots rang out.
A rapid succession of shots, like firecrackers bursting!
Rong Dai's scalp tensed, and Song Xuechun tightly gripped her hand, their hands both abnormally cold and drenched in sticky sweat.
"Everything will be alright."
Rong Dai reassured her, wishing she had let Song Xuechun go with Zong Che and the others.
She had only gained a cursory understanding of the situation abroad from news reports, but she never expected foreign assassinations to be so brazen!
To openly attempt an assassination in broad daylight was unthinkable!
"Mmhmm..."
Song Xuechun trembled as she responded, refusing to let go of Rong Dai's hand and resting her head on her lap, tears streaming down her face!
Bang!
Suddenly, the car violently shook, jolting the three occupants!
A tire had burst, causing the vehicle to veer uncontrollably towards an abandoned small factory by the side of the road!
Jing Chen's driving skills were as fierce as a tiger, barely managing to prevent the car from crashing!
But gunshots started flying out from the abandoned small factory as well!
Hitting the glass and creating cracks.
Although the curtains were drawn, Rong Dai felt a tingling sensation between her brows, sensing that one of the bullets was aimed directly at her head!
