After handling some company matters during the day, Ye Tian drove home with Lin Ziyi after getting off work. As the car merged onto the highway, a vehicle behind them sped up, narrowly missing Ye Tian's car.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Ye Tian suddenly accelerated, avoiding a collision by mere centimeters. He then noticed through the rearview mirror that the other car was accelerating again.
Lin Ziyi sensed something was wrong and asked, "Tian Ge, what's wrong?"
Ye Tian replied, "The car behind us is deliberately trying to hit us."
Lin Ziyi glanced back, frowning, "Could it be a scam?"
Just then, Ye Tian felt the car's dashboard flash, and the vehicle lost power. Pressing the accelerator had no effect.
With no other option, he pulled the car over to the side of the road. The car behind them stopped about five meters back. The door opened, and five burly men rushed out.
Ye Tian pulled Lin Ziyi out of the car. As the five men approached, four of them suddenly collapsed as if electrocuted, foaming at the mouth. The leader's head throbbed, and his consciousness began to blur.
Ye Tian asked, "Who sent you?"
"Miss Nakajima Ayako," the man replied, his eyes rolling back, speaking in broken Mandarin.
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, "Nakajima Ayako? What does she want?"
The man said, "She ordered me to make you submit by any means necessary."
Ye Tian asked, "Is that so? And how were you planning to do that?"
The man replied, "I was going to kidnap you and force you to agree to my demands."
Ye Tian questioned, "Did you tamper with my car?"
"Yes."
Ye Tian calmly stated, "Drive. Take me to Nakajima Ayako!"
Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi got into the car, leaving the other four behind, and drove the other car off the highway.
Less than half an hour later, they arrived at a luxurious mansion. Recognizing the residence, Ye Tian realized it belonged to Han Liguo, the richest man in Haicheng.
He had the man stop the car and asked, "Is Nakajima Ayako acquainted with Han Liguo?"
The man explained, "Sanyou Conglomerate is the largest shareholder in Han Liguo's group of companies."
Ye Tian inquired, "Is today's incident related to Han Liguo?"
The man replied, "It was Han Liguo who suggested Sanyou acquire Baozhi Company."
Ye Tian commanded, "Take us inside!"
Meanwhile, in the hall, a middle-aged man stood with a slight bow. Nakajima Ayako sat on the sofa like an empress, looking at Han Liguo with the eyes of a master towards a servant.
"Han Liguo, do you think this Ye Tian will submit?"
Han Liguo chuckled, "With your personal appearance and so many subordinates, I believe he will surely submit."
Nakajima Ayako stated, "Based on your intelligence, I believe this company has great potential. Initially, we will only cooperate, but when the time is right, I will definitely acquire Baozhi Company. It will bring enormous profits to Sanyou Conglomerate."
Han Liguo nodded, "Indeed. Baozhi Company's revenue this year should exceed one hundred billion, with profits no less than fifty billion. At this growth rate, once it goes public, it will be a behemoth enterprise with a market value of trillions."
Nakajima Ayako hummed, "Our identities are quite sensitive. Han Liguo, after this is accomplished, you will be the new owner of Baozhi Company. Work hard and don't disappoint us."
Han Liguo was overjoyed and immediately straightened up, "Yes! Thank you for your trust, Miss. I have always been the most loyal partner of the conglomerate!"
"The richest man in Haicheng, acting like a dog for an Eastern conglomerate. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
At this moment, a man and a woman walked in through the doorway – it was Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi.
Nakajima Ayako was slightly startled to see them, then regained her composure, "Mr. Ye, why are you here? It's not appropriate to trespass on someone's property."
Han Liguo's expression darkened, "Guards, call the police!"
Ye Tian calmly replied, "No need to call. I've already dealt with everyone outside."
Han Liguo sternly asked, "How dare you! You dare to provoke me, Han Liguo. I will make you pay the price!"
