Chapter 850: Strike First

Hearing Huo Ya suddenly say this, Murong Qiao was a little surprised.
She stared at the other party for half a moment, then turned her gaze to the document in front of her. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, she felt a pain on the back of her neck, and her vision darkened.
“Didn’t you say that you would knock her out?” Huo Ya suddenly stood up and looked at the man who had silently appeared behind Murong Qiao and the syringe in his hand in panic. She felt a little uneasy.
She stared at the syringe. “What did you give her?”
“Don’t worry, Young Miss Huo. This is just a medicine to make the other party listen obediently. It won’t have any bad effects.”
The man took the time to reply to her, but his movements were not idle. He carried Murong Qiao on his shoulder neatly. Then, he followed the door of the private room and turned to walk towards the back door of the small restaurant without stopping. Clearly, he was very familiar with this place.
Huo Ya hesitated for a moment before following him. She still remembered what Jiang Weiyang had promised her. She had yet to see Huo Xiuyuan.
A black discreet van was parked by the back door of the restaurant, quietly hiding its presence. When the man came over and took out his car keys to unlock it, he threw Murong Qiao into the back. Then, he waited for Huo Ya to get into the front passenger seat before starting the car and slowly drove towards the target location.
Along the way, Huo Ya, who had been silent, felt uneasy. When she heard no movement behind her, she began to regret agreeing to Jiang Weiyang’s request for her help.
“Aren’t we going to look for Weiyang?”
Seeing that the surrounding scenery was getting more and more remote, Huo Ya frowned and opened her mouth to ask. Her hand also grabbed the seatbelt she was wearing uneasily.
Although the surrounding scenery was becoming more and more remote from the architectural style, they shouldn’t have left the city yet. However, as the number of buildings around them gradually decreased, the dock not far away appeared in their vision.
“We’re going to Young Miss Jiang Weiyang,” the man replied in a low voice. “I’m following Young Miss Jiang’s instructions. Please calm down.”
Seeing this, Huo Ya didn’t say anything else. However, from time to time, she wanted to turn around and look at Murong Qiao.
However, there was a partition at the front and back of the van. Even if she wanted to look, she couldn’t see what was behind. Moreover, the bumps along the way were covered by the environmental sounds outside, so she couldn’t hear anything from Murong Qiao.
As if sensing that Huo Ya was about to turn around from time to time, the man suddenly said after driving for a long time.
“According to the dosage I used, she won’t wake up for at least four hours. You can rest assured.”
After saying this, the carriage fell silent again. This time, Huo Ya didn’t say anything.
However, she already felt that something was wrong because from the moment she got into the van and looked in the direction of the destination, it was completely different from what was planned. After that, she felt that things were gradually out of her control.
The man drove for nearly half an hour before bringing Huo Ya and Murong Qiao, who was in the back, to a port near the docks.
There was a very luxurious cruise ship parked there. It looked a little out of place in this remote place.
Huo Ya got out of the front passenger seat and saw Jiang Weiyang standing on the cruise ship.
Unlike her usual bright clothes, she was only wearing black this time. She was so low-key that even her face looked a little cold and pale, making Huo Ya feel that she didn’t know her.
“Thank you for bringing her over.” Jiang Weiyang saw Huo Ya walking towards her, so she took the initiative to welcome her and thank her.
Jiang Weiyang had promised the other party that she would be able to meet Huo Xiuyuan, so Huo Ya became an accomplice this time.
The man carried the still unconscious Murong Qiao and stood beside Huo Ya. Jiang Weiyang took a look and her eyes were actually filled with interest, making Huo Ya shiver.
“Help me bring her up first. Remember to lock her up properly. Don’t let her escape.” Jiang Weiyang waved her hand casually to signal the other party.
The man simply nodded without a word. He carried the person up. There was no strain in his movements at all. It looked like he was very strong.
Huo Ya watched as Murong Qiao was brought up like this and the uneasiness in her heart intensified.
It was not until the man’s figure disappeared above the cruise ship with Murong Qiao and she could no longer see Huo Ya that she had no choice but to retract her gaze and look at Jiang Weiyang standing in front of her again.
The other party seemed to be sending a message to someone. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, clearly a little happy.
After she was done, she turned around and prepared to board the cruise ship. However, when she heard no footsteps behind her, she slowly turned around and met Huo Ya’s probing gaze.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to meet Huo Xiuyuan? Why aren’t you following us?” Jiang Weiyang asked her with a genuine smile.
Huo Ya pursed her lips uneasily. Her originally retreating mood was aroused by Jiang Weiyang’s words.
Hence, she silently followed behind Jiang Weiyang and sized up the cruise ship.
The cruise ship looked brand new, and the luxury on it was enough for the entire upper-class circle to hold a party here for the night.
Although Huo Ya didn’t know the price of this cruise ship, she knew that Jiang Weiyang couldn’t afford it after taking a few glances.
Although the Jiang Family usually doted on Jiang Weiyang very much, the sum of money they gave her was probably not even half the price of this cruise ship.
Jiang Weiyang walked in front and didn’t speak. Huo Ya followed until the other party circled around to a room before she felt Jiang Weiyang stop.
“Since you’ve helped me bring her over, I’ll naturally let you meet Huo Xiuyuan, but he would take some time to come over.”
Jiang Weiyang pulled out a chair and sat down. At the same time, she glanced at the time on the watch on her wrist and estimated as she looked at Huo Ya.
It was as if letting Huo Ya and Huo Xiuyuan meet was a piece of cake for her. Her real plan could only be carried out with the participation of Huo Xiuyuan.
At the thought of this, she glanced at her cell phone again. Seeing that Huo Xiuyuan had just sent her a message 10 minutes ago, she felt that victory was in her grasp.
“You didn’t tell me that you’re bringing her to such a place,” Huo Ya said after a moment of silence.
At this moment, although her concern for Huo Xiuyuan still existed in her heart, she was suspicious of the unfamiliar surroundings and Jiang Weiyang’s intention of bringing Murong Qiao here.
Jiang Weiyang smiled, but the gentleness on her face made Huo Ya feel a little terrified.
In the past, she and Jiang Weiyang were like biological sisters. Usually, they would go everywhere together and understood each other very well. However, Huo Ya had never seen Jiang Weiyang like this. She even felt that Jiang Weiyang, who was sitting in front of her, was a different person.
“You know that Murong Qiao and I never got along.”
“So in order to not let her destroy me, I have no choice but to strike first.”
Jiang Weiyang said it casually, but the meaning behind her words made Huo Ya, who was standing in front of her, feel a bone-chilling chill run down her spine.
