Chapter 1160
1160 Exaggerated Acting
Xia Zhe’s intuition told him that this should be the spot of the ambush. If the person who wanted to kill him did not set up an ambush here, then this person was not even worthy of being his opponent.
Xia Zhe drove very slowly. He suddenly realized that there was something strange about the soil on the ground, as if it had been dug up previously. On such a dangerous and deserted road, the soil on the road should not be this color. There was also a lot of soil covering the grass beside the road.
“How old are you this year?” Xia Zhe suddenly turned around and asked the chauffeur.
“Me! I’m already 35 years old! I’m much older than you.” The chauffeur focused on Xia Zhe’s expression. On the surface, he looked nonchalant, but in reality, they both knew that it was time.
Xia Zhe suddenly stepped on the accelerator. As the car drove across the strange-looking part of the road, it triggered a mechanism and the entire car was blown up by a bomb. The raging flames wrapped around the car tightly and kept becoming bigger. The sound of the explosion echoed in the mountains for a long time.
As soon as Lu Miao heard the sound, he sent his men to the location of the ambush. Two underlings ran over furtively. After some consideration, Lu Miao remained worried. The last time when these underlings were told to make the markings for Xia Wen, they had screwed it up. This time, the boss attached special importance to Xia Zhe. He could not let anything go wrong!
He did not want to die at Cheng Gu’s hands so soon! Moreover, it would be such an unjust death!
“When will this bunch of trash improve! I’d better go and take a look at it myself!” Lu Miao said with a frown.
Their current subordinates were all newly recruited. The previous batch had all been exterminated by the Xia family. It was inevitable that the new batch was not as competent as the old batch.
When Lu Miao arrived, the car had already been burned to the point that only the bare frame was left. He could vaguely see two bodies in the front seats. Given the ferocity of the fire, the bodies must be badly burned by now.
“Alright, let’s go back and report it.” Lu Miao whistled happily. They set off joyfully on their journey back and did not notice that there were some “tails” following closely behind them.
Only after Lu Miao and his group left did Xia Zhe and the chauffeur stuck their heads out of the water. When they accelerated earlier, they had used their shoes to jam the accelerator and then jumped out immediately. This was how they had managed to avoid the disaster. This was likely to be part of the plan which Xia Mao had mentioned.
The two of them followed the river current to the meeting location arranged by the Xia family. They changed into clean clothes and then continued driving towards the capital.
Xia Mao and Xia Xiu also had parts to play in the plan. Along the way, the siblings did not speak. This was their usual behavior. It was Xia Mao who did not like to talk and had nothing to do with Xia Xiu.
“Eldest brother, do you know how to act?” Xia Xiu asked skeptically.
Such a loud explosion would definitely attract the attention of the media and the villagers nearby. Once this matter blew up, people would definitely find out that the victim was Xia Zhe. As Xia Zhe’s father, he must put on an act in front of everyone and shed tears to make them believe that the person who died in the car was Xia Zhe.
“I… why not you play the part,” Xia Mao said awkwardly.
“I’m not Xia Zhe’s father, so you have to do it. You’d better not slip up. Cheng Gu isn’t a fool and can tell if it’s an act or not. Just think about what expression you should have on your face later!” Xia Xiu said gloatingly.
Xia Mao sighed deeply. Life was so difficult.
The car soon arrived at the location where Xia Zhe’s car had crashed. Before Xia Xiu could react, Xia Mao pushed open the car door with all his might, got out of the car and ran towards the explosion site. As he ran, he shouted Xia Zhe’s name.
His action stunned Xia Xiu to the spot. Was this the acting skills that Xia Mao mentioned? It was really… exaggerated…
Xia Mao even wanted to approach the burning wreckage to search for Xia Zhe, but Xia Xiu held him back.
“Eldest Brother! Calm down! That car is still dangerous! You can’t approach it!” Xia Xiu said as she grabbed Xia Mao’s arm tightly.
“That’s my son’s car! Xiao Xiu! We have to save him!” Xia Mao pointed at the car agitatedly.
Xia Xiu almost could not hold back her laughter, but she kept it in and continued to put on an act. It was possible that Cheng Gu’s subordinates were among the crowd.
