Chapter 570
When they arrived downstairs, Mya took the wheel while Shirley led them toward Christina’s workplace.
Christina was an engineer who was in charge of building a school accommodation.
Half an hour later, Mya drove into a worksite in the western parts of Southeast City and parked her car. Shirley quickly got out and spotted Christina, who was wearing a safety helmet and uniform, about to leave the worksite.
Shirley rushed toward her. “Mother! Wait!”
Christina, who was far away, stopped right outside the worksite entrance and turned around curiously when she heard Shirley’s voice. She became even more confused when she saw Shirley running in her direction.
“Shirley? What are you doing here?” Christina asked.
Shirley said with a smile, “I have two friends who are here to see you. They said it’s important.”
Following that, Mya and Adrian walked over.
The moment Christina saw Mya and Adrian, she said, “There’s something urgent I need to look into right now, Shirley. Come see me after I’m off duty, okay?”
“But Mother, they’re-”
Christina por into her car just as Shirley was about to ask her to stay. She then took off her safety helmet and said, Please, Shirley. It’s really urgent. Go home and wait for me there.”
“What’s the matter? Let us come with you!” Shirley said as she pulled the door open.
At that moment, Adrian and Mya had gotten into Christina’s car as well.
Christina seemed to become even more anxious as she turned around and said, “Why won’t you three listen to me? I really do need to get somewhere urgently.”
Shirley let off a “hmph” and said, “Then let’s talk while you drive. That shouldn’t be a bother to you, right?”
Christina shot Shirley a glare, seeming to be about to say something when her phone rang
Looks like she really does have something urgent to attend to.”
After Christina answered the phone, a man’s voice said, “We’ve been waiting for you for a very long time, Ms. Christina. Where the f*ck are you?! I warned you not to try anything stupid, didn’t I?!”
“I’ll be right there!” Christina said before flouring the accelerator, even forgetting her daughter was in the car with her fur a moment.
After overhearing Christina’s phone conversation, Shirley curiously asked, “What’s the rush, Mother? Where are you going?” “Something went wrong with the project. A few gangsters have stopped two of our trucks that transport building materials. and even injured the drivers. They’re now asking for the company to pay them one hundred and forty thousand dollars for the release of the drivers.”
“Why would they want to take away your materials?” Adrian asked.
“They’re just hooligans claiming we damaged the road they repaired after our trucks drove through,” Christina explained as she continued to drive
“Have you reported this?”
“Report it?” Christina sneered and said, “Why would t report it when one of those gangsters‘ uncles is a member of Internal Affairs? If I did, they’d come up with some excuse to shut down our project. When that happens, the price will be more than what the gangsters are asking for now.”
Adrian frowned the moment he heard the words “Internal Affairs” being mentioned, while Shirley pursed her lips in silence.
Christina turned around and asked, “By the way, Shirley. What did you say your friends wanted to ask me? Let’s talk about it after I’ve settled this matter, okay?”
Mya smiled at Christina and said, “Don’t worry, we’re not in a rush. You go ahead and solve your problem first.”
“Okay then “Christina nodded.
Twenty minutes later, they drove into an alley, where more than twenty men were leaning against the wall. It looked as though they had been expecting Christina for a long time.
