Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1272 - 1250: Identity Switch
Jiayi and Chu Xinyue asked the driver to wait at the entrance and ran to the shop’s door after getting out of the car.
Since the shop was closed, no one was inside, and it was pitch black.
Jiayi took out the keys to open the glass door, turned on the lights, and went in with Chu Xinyue. They headed to the back dressing room and began to pack up the clothes.
There were several rare gowns which were very heavy. Just as they found bags and wrapped them up, they heard gunshots outside the dressing room!
"Bang," it sounded like something shattered the ceiling lights, plunging them into darkness!
Hurried footsteps entered the store, accompanied by a cacophony of crashing sounds!
Jiayi and Chu Xinyue barely had time to hide when they saw a man with his face covered by a hooded mask burst in, leading a group, some of whom were holding guns.
Even with their faces tightly covered, the men’s rugged builds and heavy arm hair revealed that they were foreigners!
Jiayi shivered, sweat seeping into her palms, instantly realizing their identity, instinctively grasping Chu Xinyue’s hand beside her.
Chu Xinyue understood as well, her heart pounding fiercely.
They were the marauding members of the TM Organization!
Somehow, they ran into them!
When the foreigners saw people inside the store, their eyes turned sharp, scrutinizing the two: "Raise your hands! Squat down! Face the wall!"
Jiayi held back her tension and turned to face the wall with Chu Xinyue.
They heard a couple of foreigners muttering in low English.
"Are these two gals employees of the store?"
"Judging by their attire, they might even be the owners."
Confronting this situation, Jiayi surprisingly calmed herself, courageously speaking in English: "We are just ordinary employees, please do not harm us. If you want money, it’s in the counter over there."
As long as these criminals didn’t hurt anyone, they could handle the rest.
The foreigner who looked like the leader suspiciously glanced at Jiayi and Chu Xinyue, signaling his subordinates with his gun to search the counter for cash.
Suddenly, more footsteps sounded.
A companion brought in the Chu Family driver waiting outside, holding a gun to his neck and jabbering to the others.
The man spoke in his native language, which Jiayi and Chu Xinyue couldn’t understand but sensed something bad.
Once the man finished talking, the leader flew into a rage, aiming the gun at the two, sneering:
"Ordinary employees? The car outside is from the Chu Family! The Chu Family is a wealthy family in Nanga! It’s said this store is owned by the third miss of the Chu Family! Which one of you is the third miss? Step out!"
The other companions’ eyes lit up hearing this!
Catching the third miss of the Chu Family would yield much more than robbing a boutique!
As a terrorist organization, they weren’t just after money; their greater aim was to confront the government, to retaliate against society.
The Chu Family held certain social status, capturing an heiress would undoubtedly be a greater accomplishment.
Jiayi took a deep breath, her body instinctively moving, while Chu Xinyue secretly glanced at her, seemingly signaling her to stay silent.
Seeing the two not speaking, the leader pressed a gun butt against the Chu Family driver’s temple: "Not talking, are you? Fine! You tell me! Which one is the third miss of the Chu Family!"
The driver, trembling, was a loyal servant of the Chu Family for years, yet still didn’t speak, stubbornly replying: "The Chu Family’s miss didn’t come. Please, don’t harm anyone..."
The leader, furious, pulled the trigger: "Not speaking? Fine—"
Jiayi saw them intending to harm the driver, her cold sweat flowing fiercely.
In such a situation, if she didn’t admit her identity, not only would the driver die, but she and Chu Xinyue might also be abducted!
She was about to rise but was held back by Chu Xinyue, who secretly clenched her hand.
Jiayi widened her eyes, looking at Chu Xinyue’s resolute face, yet before she could react, saw Chu Xinyue release her hand, stand, and turned around, face pale:
"I am the third miss of the Chu Family. Please, do not harm others in this store."
Both Jiayi and the driver were stunned. They looked at Chu Xinyue in disbelief.
The leader squinted, examining the young woman in front of him. Her attire was obviously high-end, and her demeanor didn’t seem ordinary. It seemed correct.
Waving his hand, a few foreign subordinates moved forward to bind Chu Xinyue’s hands with rope.
The driver, suppressing the pain from being beaten, seized the chance to run to Jiayi’s side.
Jiayi came to her senses, ready to rush forward, yet was held back tightly by the driver, covering her mouth, urging softly: "Don’t be impulsive..."
The second miss has confessed. If the third miss reveals herself again, wouldn’t the second miss’s effort be in vain!
By then, one would be a general’s wife, and the other a princess’s consort. How could these ruthless criminals spare them? They would definitely take them all!
The few foreigners tied Jiayi and the driver inside the shop and led Chu Xinyue outside,
Jiayi, suppressing her terror, loudly stopped them: "Wait, where are you taking her? What do you intend to do?"
A foreigner, annoyed, was about to step forward and hit her but paused when Chu Xinyue spoke coldly:
"Your purpose is for ransom and hostage. If you dare harm anyone in my store, I’d rather die than go with you!"
The young woman’s voice was slender but inexplicably carried a commanding presence.
It lingered in the dim store, possessing an ethereal serenity that made one submit to her elegance.
The foreigners had committed many crimes but had never met such a fearless woman!
The leader’s face darkened eventually, gestured to gag Jiayi and the driver, and did not escalate the violence further.
Capturing a wealthy young lady today was already a big gain!
They didn’t want any more complications!
"Go!" the leader commanded.
As Chu Xinyue was leaving the store, she seized the moment to turn pale but tried to remain calm, giving Jiayi a glance, indicating not to act impulsively, and spoke slowly: "It’s okay. They won’t do anything to me."
She owed Jiayi a life and had never fulfilled her duty as an elder sister. Today, it was her time to repay Jiayi.
This way, she would at least not feel guilty in front of Jiayi anymore.
Perhaps because of this, her brows were light like clear brilliance, showing no trace of fear.
Jiayi’s eyes reddened, wanting to shout, but gagged, she couldn’t make a sound, could only watch as Chu Xinyue was pushed out of the store.
The foreigners looted the store of cash and valuables, took another look at the bound Jiayi and the driver, lifted them up, found two iron lockers for clothes inside the shop, and stuffed each inside separately!
Jiayi curled up in the locker, only heard a bang, and it was locked!
She instantly understood the foreigners’ intention, her teeth began to chatter!
Though they didn’t harm her in front of Chu Xinyue, they locked her and the driver in not easily discoverable lockers.
