Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

Chapter 208 Ye Wanlan: Retreat! [2 Updates]

Chapter 208: 208 Ye Wanlan: Retreat! [2 Updates]"Alright, the lord has commanded: Jiang Xulin must vanish from this world within three days," the young man said coldly. "It’s best if we can complete the task ahead of time; that’s the only way to be promoted by the lord."

Even he didn’t understand why their lord was so obsessed with destroying Shenzhou’s intangible cultural heritage.

Other than being aesthetically pleasing and having collectible value, what use could Su embroidery possibly have?

The young man couldn’t figure it out, but since the order had been given, he would, of course, follow through.

After the group finished their communication, the young man received another call without caller ID.

"Have you found out who founded Pulling the Sky Company?" the voice on the phone asked.

"Sorry, my lord, not yet," the young man felt somewhat ashamed. "The security of Pulling the Sky Company is very strict; we can’t infiltrate it, and Jiang Xulin often stays inside the company and seldom comes out."

The person didn’t speak.

The young man hurriedly added, "However, your subordinate has found another high-ranking employee of Pulling the Sky Company close to Jiang Xulin—she’s the recently returned heiress of the Fang Family of Jiangcheng."

"The Fang Family of Jiangcheng?" the person spoke faintly, "These families of Jiangcheng have only become prominent in the last few decades due to the development of new industries, not worthy of concern. Just focus on Jiang Xulin."

As the last living inheritor of the Su embroidery craft, Jiang Xulin’s significance was immense.

"Understood!" A flash of murderous intent swept across the young man’s eyes. "As per your instruction, we will ensure Jiang Xulin and his parents share the same fate, ending in a car accident."

Meanwhile, at the Lin Family home.

"Ah Lan, you need to rest well too. You’ve become too thin from exhaustion," Lin Huaijin spoke with pity, "The medicinal soup is already stewing. You’ll feel rejuvenated after having some."

"Thank you, Uncle," Ye Wanlan smiled. "I will listen to you."

But indeed, she didn’t dare to rest.

Because of the hatred for the country and the family, she could not afford to forget even for a moment.

She didn’t know if the events of three hundred years ago would recur, but she knew she had to be prepared in advance for anything.

Going against the current, one must forge ahead or be swept back.

She constantly reminded herself to make the most of every minute and every second, to waste none.

"Hey, do you think I don’t know what’s on your mind?" said Lin Huaijin helplessly. "Do you know that when you lie, you look just like your father? You are both stubborn and never heed advice."

Ye Wanlan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she said softly, "Uncle, please tell me more about my father."

"When your aunt and I were born, our family’s business in Jiangcheng had not yet started, and life was very difficult," Lin Huaijin recalled. "Your grandmother was too busy to care for the family, so it was your father who took care of us."

Ye Wanlan listened quietly.

"Your father was not even five years old at the time, but he was already a little adult," Lin Huaijin continued. "Sigh, we’ve been

Ye Wanlan slammed on the brakes hard, violently accelerating the Bugatti Veyron once again.

The speed was off the charts, tires screeching against the ground with high-speed friction.

"Boom—Bang!"

Success, the car was stopped!

Ye Wanlan slowly exhaled, opened the door, and got out of the car.

Jiang Xulin’s Aston Martin was completely wrecked, the doors severely deformed.

"What’s the situation?"

In such a critical situation, someone appeared and saved Jiang Xulin?!

"Jiang Xulin is alive, initiate Plan B," the young man pressed his earpiece, his voice laced with unmistakable lethality, "The person who saved him must be eliminated as well!"

Being too far to see clearly, he couldn’t make out what this sudden rescuer looked like.

But just with their driving skills alone, they were already enough to top the world.

They must not be allowed to live!

"Clang!"

Ye Wanlan promptly detached the car door; beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her breath was somewhat disheveled.

Clearly, to stop Jiang Xulin’s car, she had expended a vast amount of energy.

But at this moment, there was no time to rest, for she smelled the pungent scent of gasoline.

Ye Wanlan surveyed the interior of the car with a cool gaze, dragged Jiang Xulin out, and quickly moved to a spot five meters away.

Then, the next second—

"Boom!"

There was an explosion, flames shot into the sky, and the Aston Martin was blown to smithereens.

If they were even a moment later, the result would have been both the car and people destroyed.

"Wake up," Ye Wanlan stuffed a pill into Jiang Xulin’s mouth, "Can you walk?"

Jiang Xulin’s mind was in utter chaos, "I, I..."

He struggled to his feet, his hands still shaking.

He was nearly on his way to meet King Yama.

"If you can walk, that’s good enough, brain and verbal abilities aren’t important right now," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "The other party hasn’t shown up yet, let’s go first."

Jiang Xulin, dizzy and confused, instinctively nodded and followed Ye Wanlan’s steps.

However, the escape route was also blocked at that moment.

Ye Wanlan’s ears twitched; she remained calm and collected as she took out a face cover and put it on, and adjusted her cap’s brim lower to hide her face but not obstruct her vision.

"Are there, like, people?" Jiang Xulin’s expression changed, "They’re coming for me, you go, I reckon I can’t, can’t walk..."

Ye Wanlan said coldly, "Shut up."

Jiang Xulin was stunned, still not fully comprehending the situation when he saw the girl slowly pulling out a sword from the zither case.

A sword in a zither case instead of a zither?!

Ye Wanlan raised her head, "Step back, I only repeat myself once."
