After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 244: Good Luck No Longer Works?



The next morning, at Wu Mengting's insistence, Chen Feng and the others went to attend Yang Ziyin's fashion show event. The show was held in a large local shopping mall, and stars participating included not only Yang Ziyin but also celebrities from other countries, as well as a local female star, creating a dazzling array of stars.

This was a world-renowned brand with its headquarters in Vienna. They organized representatives from so many countries to attend primarily for a global promotional event.

The event lasted over an hour and primarily involved star showcases and various performances, attracting a large crowd.

After watching, the four of them left without seeking out Yang Ziyin.

However, Wu Mengting bid farewell to her on WeChat. They planned to fly to the Gentleman Country next and, after spending two days, return home.

Their journey this time had lasted quite a while; initially intended for just ten days to two weeks, it had been extended to a month, clearly exceeding their planned duration.

Moreover, the month of traveling had been tiring, especially for the three women, after traversing a large portion of Europe.

Of course, Wu Mengting originally intended to travel throughout Europe. Although she felt a bit tired, she could still endure and even find joy in it.

Unfortunately, Sun Xiaorui wanted to return home, and Chen Feng felt that continuing to wander seemed pointless. In fact, the scenic spots across these European countries were quite similar. Chen Feng was also experiencing aesthetic fatigue and did not want to continue exploring.

So, they finally discussed and came up with a compromise: the last stop would be the Gentleman Country, and after exploring, they'd return home.

The Gentleman Country is undoubtedly Europe's most important nation, historically known as the Sun Never Sets Empire. Its influence on human history is profound; even as a "small country," it seemed inconspicuous, yet it dominated for 300 years with colonies worldwide. There's no denying, back then, this country was remarkably strong.

Many people start their European tours with the Gentleman Country, given its reputation and influence.

Having traveled through most of Europe, not visiting the Gentleman Country feels regretful.

Thus, they took a flight directly to the Gentleman Country that day.

On the first day, they encountered rain, the hallmark of Wudu, where going out requires an umbrella due to frequent rainfall.

Due to the rain and jet lag, they rested well in the hotel that day.

After adjusting to the time difference, with Anna's recommendation, they had an authentic French meal.

The culinary culture in the Gentleman Country is lackluster, with the food not even comparable to French cuisine, often ridiculed by other nations.

As there wasn't much to savor, with fashion and luxury items not as prominent as in Paris, and the attractions being just average, after a day here they decided not to explore further.

On the third day, the four of them planned to conclude their European trip and go home.

They had just checked out of their hotel and hopped into a taxi heading to the airport. Only a hundred meters away, they stopped at a street corner waiting for a red light when a deafening explosion sounded behind them, shaking the ground.

Instinctively, everyone turned towards the explosion's direction and saw smoke billowing, people screaming and running, and pleas for help...

Even Chen Feng's face went pale at the sight.

Chen Feng wasn't one to scare easily, but the location of the explosion was too coincidental, happening right at the entrance of their previous hotel.

If they had been just a minute or two late, they'd likely have been affected by the explosion.

Chen Feng had sensed an unease earlier which now seemed evident.

"This is terrifying! Is it a terrorist attack?" Wu Mengting spoke first, her face pale.

"Doesn't even need saying; it's definitely an attack," Sun Xiaorui said, looking a bit less affected but still tense.

"This is just too much! We literally brushed with death by a hair's breadth. It's much better back home. Should've listened to you and returned earlier. It's not very fun here, and it's so dangerous," Wu Mengting said regretfully.

Anna chimed in, "Should we go have a look? Maybe we can help a bit; there are definitely injured people over there now."

Sun and Wu went even paler after hearing this, and Chen Feng promptly refused, saying: "This is a bustling street with many people; there's no need for us to help. Police and ambulances will arrive soon. In such situations, ensuring our own safety is paramount."

Sun and Wu nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Anna pursed her lips but didn't persist.

To avoid further complications, Chen Feng spoke in English as soon as the traffic light turned green, urging the taxi driver to drive.

He suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis, which was growing stronger.

Just as he finished speaking, a disheveled, anxious woman ran over, banged on the driver's side window, and pleaded loudly: "God! Please help me; I'm injured. Please get me to a hospital immediately."

The driver, a chubby middle-aged biracial man, turned to Chen Feng and the others with a troubled expression and asked: "Sorry, what do you think? Should we take her to the hospital first?"

Trusting his instinct, Chen Feng immediately refused, saying: "Sorry, we need to get to the airport for our flight. Can't be delayed. Miss, it seems you're not severely injured; there's no blood. You should wait for an ambulance; it should arrive soon."

The driver was about to respond when the woman outside suddenly reached her hand through the driver's open window, quickly unlocked the car, and squeezed into the backseat before they could react.

Simultaneously, she revealed a handgun, waving it slightly at the backseat passengers Wu Mengting, Sun Xiaorui, and Chen Feng, before pointing it at the driver and saying coldly: "Follow my orders and drive obediently; otherwise, I'll shoot you dead."

The chubby driver stiffened in shock after seeing this in the rearview mirror, sitting up straight and loudly agreeing: "Alright, ma'am. I fully cooperate with you."

"You all should do the same; don't try any tricks, or I won't hesitate to kill you."

At this moment, Chen Feng and the three others were petrified, forgetting to scream.

"Now drive straight ahead!"

With the woman's command, the driver quickly started the car and drove onwards.

Damn!

Seeing this, Chen Feng cursed silently! He knew his intuition wasn't wrong, and they'd indeed run into trouble.

Simultaneously, Chen Feng was puzzled about why his good luck wasn't working this time.

In what was supposed to be a peaceful taxi ride, they ended up encountering a female thug, seemingly connected to the hotel explosion, which was unbelievably unlucky.

The reason she chose their taxi was quite simple; she had seen Chen Feng and the others carrying luggage, clearly identifying them as traveling foreigners heading toward the airport, fitting her intended direction perfectly.
