《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 150 : Ximen Yixiong
Advertisement
For about three seconds, Yixiong froze. His body felt stiff. He couldn't move at all. When Yixiong was able to move his body, he turned his head to the left. Yiren's face was very pale. But he seemed okay. At least, that's what was in Yixiong's mind.
Yixiong saw his lap. Songfei's bag was no longer there. His feet felt heavy. Yixiong looked down. He tried to see what happened to his feet. It turned out that the bag that he had previously lapped had fallen under the seat. The object was right on his legs.
The car that had just crashed into their car from the front immediately moved backwards. The front hood of the car looked wrecked. But from the way the car retreated, Yixiong concluded that the car did not suffer severe damage. In an instant, the car stepped on the gas, leaving them. At high speed, the car shot straight along the road section located to the left of the intersection.
"They're running away!" Yixiong shouted.
Many cars stopped. Several people approached their car. Their faces showed both concern and curiosity. Gongxi tried to open the front door of the car. But he couldn't open it. Apparently, the collision with the car had damaged the right front door.
Jingkang looked okay. At least, he seemed not hurt at all. After removing the seat belt he was wearing, the young man quickly opened the front left door. The door turned out to be easy to open. Jingkang jumped out of the car right away.
Yixiong once again turned to his left side. Yiren was still sitting. He said nothing. Rising worry in Yixiong's mind. Yiren looked so shocked. A split second later, Yixiong decided to catch up with Jingkang out of the car. He did not forget to bring Songfei's blue bag out. Gongxi came out of the left front door, which had previously been opened by Jingkang.

The flow of traffic, which was relatively quiet, now became crowded. Because their cars were right in the middle of the crossroad, the traffic was hampered. The car from each crossroad section must run slowly.
Yiren was still inside. Jingkang reentered through the left front door. He tried to open the left rear door. After the door opened, Yixiong and Gongxi, who were already standing in front of the back door, immediately helped Yiren.
Gongxi helped Yiren unbuckle the seat belt that was wrapped around him. After the seat belts were undone, Yixiong and Gongxi dragged Yiren out of the car. Yixiong was surprised because Yiren's hands were so cold. Straight away, he and Jingkang carried Yiren to the side of the road.
The traffic police quickly arrived there. They quickly regulate the traffic that has become congested.
Since departing from home, no police escorted them. In fact, they also did not escort from afar.
Or they are so good that we don't realize that they are watching us? But at times like this, they did not appear. So most likely I'm not wrong. We have been alone since departing from home!
Yixiong was sure that the police were definitely at their destination.
They must have made careful preparations before the handover of ransoms there!
"Could it be an ambush, Sir!" Jingkang looked at Yixiong.
"I don't know if this was intentional or just a simple accident," Yixiong said. "But it doesn't make sense."
"Right, Sir!" their driver said. "Those thugs definitely want everything to run smoothly. Things like this will only hinder their plans."
Yixiong nodded. "This is bizarre. I can still understand why they were following us. Maybe they wanted to make sure we didn't take the police or other people there. But an accident like this?"

"What if it turns out to be the other party?" Jingkang asked.
"Other parties?" Yixiong gaped.
What is their interest in this?
"Isn't it possible that there are other parties who don't want the handover of the ransom to actually take place?" Jingkang said.
Eh? Why does this kid have strange thoughts like this? IIs this what makes him quiet for a while?
"But we have even switched vehicles," Yixiong said.
"If they know about it, it means they have been watching us tightly," Jingkang said.
Is it true that there are indeed other parties who overshadow us? And they are not the kidnappers!
Yixiong was taken aback.
This is really crazy! I don't know anymore what really happened!
Yixiong could only shake his head. He couldn't explain it.
"It's all uncertain. Regarding the accident that just happened, there is always a possibility that the driver was drunk."
Jingkang nodded. "You're right. But we still have to open up to all possibilities."
"This is an intentional or pure accident. We will discuss it later," said Yixiong.
"Now what, Sir?" Jingkang looked around them.
"Soon we have to find another vehicle. I don't want us to get there late!" Yixiong uttered those words in the strongest possible tone of voice.
"Take it easy, Sir! You don't need to worry. Let me take care of Mr. Nangong and this car. Mr. Ximen and Mr. Duanmu, please just continue the journey there, "said Gongxi.
Yixiong looked left and right. Just like before, Jingkang glanced around the intersection. He seemed to be looking for something.
"Sir! There is a pay phone. I went there first to inform Mr. Caihong," said Jingkang.
Yixiong nodded. "Right, you should tell this right away."
After launching the sentence, Yixiong reached into his coat pocket. He pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper.
"Take this." Yixiong held out the paper to Jingkang.
Jingkang opened the paper. Inside was written a telephone number.
"Whose number, Sir?"
"This is a telephone number of the house right behind our house. Earlier, Yiren gave this number to me. The police gave him when he gave the statement to the police this morning. Besides calling Caihong, I also want you to call the police there. "
"Alright, Sir!" Jingkang nodded.
But Yixiong soon changed his mind.
"Mr. Gongxi, please take care of Mr. Nangong for a moment here. I will go with Mr. Duanmu to call several people."
"Yes, Sir!" Gongxi replied.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
