Chapter 194: Floats and Rioters

After leaving the shopping center, Lu Yunze was about to call a car to go home when he suddenly heard Luo Yao’s voice beside him.

“Brother Lu, look at that.”

Following the direction she pointed, Lu Yunze saw a parade float slowly approaching from the distance.

A very long procession followed behind the float. It seemed like a newly opened store was holding an event, with gongs and drums sounding along the way. The float was lavishly decorated, looking extremely lively.

This instantly attracted many people to stop and watch. Some even raised their phones to take pictures, making the twilight street suddenly bustling.

Lu Yunze thought it was still early. If he went back, he’d probably have to wait a while before eating anyway, so delaying a bit longer was fine.

“Brother Lu, let’s go take a look.”

Speaking of which, holding a parade at this time was indeed rare. Usually, they were during the day, right? Why choose when the sun was about to set?

Luo Yao was immersed in the excitement of the float, while Lu Yunze was observing every person on the float and in the procession behind it.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt like those people occasionally made eye contact with him, only to look away instantly.

Just as the two stood by the roadside, at the entrance of the shopping center behind them, a head quietly peeked out, squinting slightly.

“Tsk, what are they doing instead of going home?”

Jiang Sui stared resentfully at the two.

“What’s so good about a parade float? If anyone’s going to watch it, it should be me and Lu Yunze. That annoying person, always a nuisance no matter when.”

The longer she watched, the more annoyed she got. Jiang Sui simply withdrew her gaze. Since she wasn’t there, even if she wasn’t suspected, she might still get her salary docked for leaving her post without permission.

She was just about to go home first to avoid Luo Yao not finding her when she returned, when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

“Hey, hey, Jiang Sui.”

Jiang Sui turned around to see Lü Ziyi, carrying large and small shopping bags, running towards her.

“You bought this much?”

Jiang Sui was a bit surprised. She had been gone for less than half an hour. This purchasing power was terrifying.

Facing her gaze, Jiang Sui slightly averted her eyes, as if changing the subject.

“Is that strange? What’s strange is you not buying anything at all.”

“So, what do you want from me? Don’t tell me you still want to cause trouble for Luo Yao?”

“No.” Lü Ziyi shook her head. “They haven’t left yet, right?”

“They’re still watching the float.”

“That float has a problem.”

“What?”

Not long ago, Lü Ziyi received a notification from the Execution Division: a group of rioters had secretly organized a terrorist attack, scheduled for this very evening.

The origin and purpose of this group were temporarily unclear, but it was confirmed that there were Secret Arts Practitioners among them; they weren’t ordinary bombers.

They deliberately arranged a parade float to go down the street, planning to launch the attack after the crowd gathered.

After listening, Jiang Sui couldn’t help but blink.

Of all times?

“Hurry up and go inform your Young Master and Miss. Whether you run or hide is up to you, just don’t get in the way.”

“Are you kidding? I’m an Execution Division specialist, representing the Lü Family. How could I use such a despicable method?” Lü Ziyi frowned.

Jiang Sui raised an eyebrow slightly. “I thought you’d keep the information to yourself and watch them get into trouble.”

“I still want to make Luo Yao kneel and sing ‘Conquest’ for me personally. If she just died like that, then I misjudged her.”

She even made a motion as if to gouge out her own eyes, clearly serious.

Jiang Sui’s evaluation of her instantly rose quite a bit.

She really was someone who could distinguish between public and private matters.

“But, is your relationship with Luo Yao really that bad?”

“What?” Lü Ziyi frowned.

“I’m just acting on behalf of the family; I can’t admit defeat. It’s definitely not because when we were kids, she showed off her new toy and left me out in the cold.”

So that’s how it was.

Women really hold grudges.

Jiang Sui complained in her heart.

“Hey, how’s the personnel deployment going?”

Lü Ziyi dialed a call.

“The float is still moving forward, more and more people are gathering. If we don’t act quickly, more people will suffer.”

The person on the other end of the call said something, and Lü Ziyi’s expression instantly became vivid.

“What? Still arguing about the operation plan? Are you guys capable or not? By the time you finish arguing, people will be gone!”

She paced back and forth, looking irritated.

“Forget it, I’ll figure something out myself first. Keep in touch.”

After saying that, she hung up directly.

“Tsk, a bunch of useless people.”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Sui asked.

It turned out there was a disagreement within the Execution Division.

One faction advocated acting immediately, directly stopping the float, and quickly crushing the rioters’ plan.

The other faction believed rash action might alert the enemy. They should observe first and then solve the problem with the method causing the least loss.

They were still arguing when the fire was at their eyebrows?

Jiang Sui couldn’t help but complain in her heart.

“Don’t you still want to win against Luo Yao once?” she suddenly said. “I think we don’t need to notify Lu Yunze and Luo Yao either.”

Lü Ziyi’s expression instantly became interesting.

“If you have a plan, let’s hear it.”

A plan?

Jiang Sui already had many in her head.

Her target was this group of rioters. As for annoying Luo Yao, that was just incidental.

Plus, she could pull in a reliable helper.

“Is there a place suitable for hiding people nearby?”

Lü Ziyi thought for a moment, her eyes slightly lighting up.

“There really is.”

The float’s route would pass by an unfinished building. The exterior was already built, but the developer had run away, leaving only an empty steel and concrete structure.

That place was an excellent hiding and observation spot.

Not only could they ambush there, but it was also likely rioters were lurking inside, responsible for support.

“Hey, the car is almost here. Shouldn’t we make a move?”

Inside the unfinished building, a rioter holding binoculars shouted impatiently a few times but received no response.

He frowned and turned his head—

The next second, his whole body froze.

All his companions were lying on the ground. The only ones standing were two unfamiliar women.

Lü Ziyi had just retracted her foot, having kicked the last person unconscious. She and Jiang Sui looked at him together.

The rioter was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down the binoculars and raised his hands.

“I surrender! I’ll tell you everything!”

This reaction speed even made Jiang Sui and Lü Ziyi pause for a second.

Lü Ziyi directly stepped on him, pressing him to the ground, and asked coldly:

“Talk. How many bombs are planted on the float?”

“N-none! No bombs!”

“Huh?” Lü Ziyi was stunned.

“The float is just a decoy to attract attention! The real attack is on the other side!”

They had some brains after all.

Jiang Sui asked, “What is your target?”

“Because we discovered the traces of the Luo Family’s Young Master and Miss, that’s why we planned this attack!”

“Targeting Lu Yunze and Luo Yao?” Jiang Sui was stunned. “Why?”

“What organization are you from?”

“I… I don’t know…” The rioter quickly shook his head. “People from the Black Star Cult contacted us. As long as we complete the mission, they will grant us the Mark and let us join the cult.”

“Location?”

The rioter immediately gave the location.

“That’s it?”

“Th-that’s it!”

Thud!

Lü Ziyi punched him, knocking him out.

“Tsk, there’s actually something even more troublesome behind this.” She flexed her fingers. “You should take your Young Master and leave quickly. You’re being targeted and don’t even know it.”

Jiang Sui, however, did not answer.

She fell into silence.

Take Lu Yunze and run away?

Impossible.

Since he was the target, she wanted to see even more what this group was trying to do.

This summer vacation, being targeted by the Black Star Cult from the very beginning, she was already fed up with it.
