Chapter 1472 Ambush Mid-Journey
"I only heard it from others and was curious, so I just asked casually," Chen Xuan felt that Hua Mei's reaction was too strong.
"It's getting late, we should go back."
"Okay, I'll go back then."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded. He also felt he was too reckless and shouldn't have asked so directly, otherwise Hua Mei wouldn't have been so disgusted.
He was curious, if Hua Mei was only related to the chairman of Huang Hai Group, why would she be so sensitive, even showing some disgust.
What was Hua Mei's relationship with the chairman of Huang Hai Group?
Sugar daddy?
This was Chen Xuan's first thought. After all, who wouldn't like such an ethereal beauty like Hua Mei?
However, from Chen Xuan's understanding, no one at Huang Hai Group dared to pursue Hua Mei, nor did anyone dare to glance at her more than a few times. Even during meals, there wouldn't be men around.
Hua Mei got into the car, preparing to drive away.
"Director Hua, are you leaving just like that?" Chen Xuan said helplessly.
"Then I'll give you a ride back," Hua Mei said after a moment of hesitation.
"Thank you, Director Hua then."
Getting into the car, Chen Xuan added, "Director Hua, why don't I drive you home, and then I'll take your car back. Tomorrow, I can come pick you up. What do you think?"
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Hua Mei hesitated again, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes as she stared intently at Chen Xuan in the passenger seat.
"It's my honor as an employee to drive Director Hua home, especially such a beautiful lady. How could I not be willing?" Chen Xuan smiled.
"You can reconsider. I'm telling you, if you drive me, you might lose your life. Are you still willing?" Hua Mei said solemnly.
Chen Xuan was taken aback.
Driving Hua Mei home could cost him his life. Were the rumors from before true?
"I am willing to go through fire and water for Director Hua!"
Chen Xuan said with conviction.
"I'm really not joking," Hua Mei felt Chen Xuan thought she was joking.
"Neither am I."
Chen Xuan looked into Hua Mei's eyes, very seriously.
"Fine, you said it yourself. Don't regret it!"
Hua Mei seemed to want to provoke Chen Xuan, stepping on the accelerator. The Lamborghini shot forward abruptly.
The Lamborghini sped through the streets, leaving countless cars behind. Many young masters driving sports cars felt their pride hurt and chased after them, but Hua Mei outran them all.
Chen Xuan exclaimed, "I didn't expect Director Hua to have such good driving skills. You're truly an experienced driver."
Hua Mei didn't catch the double meaning and replied indifferently, "I drove for the first time at fifteen and felt I could control a car very well. At eighteen, I got my driver's license and could drive very skillfully on the road. I even participated in professional racing competitions..."
"Wow! You really are an experienced driver!" Chen Xuan praised.
He hadn't expected a woman who seemed to have stepped out of a painting to be such a skilled driver.
Soon, they arrived at a high-end villa.
He looked up at the third floor. It seemed someone was looking down through a gap in the curtains. When they saw his gaze, the person inside quickly retreated, leaving only a fluttering curtain.
"Remember to pick me up tomorrow," Hua Mei said, glancing at Chen Xuan.
"I will remember."
Chen Xuan sat in the driver's seat, waved goodbye with a smile.
After saying that, Chen Xuan was about to turn the car around.
But Hua Mei walked back, "Forget it. You go back by yourself."
"Director Hua, you can't go back on your word," Chen Xuan said with a playful smile.
"Alright..." Hua Mei finally nodded.
She had also tested Chen Xuan's strength. Chen Xuan's abilities were very strong, and perhaps he could return safely.
So, Chen Xuan turned the car around and left.
Hua Mei stood at the entrance for a while, until the car's taillights disappeared from sight, then she turned and slowly walked into the villa.
"Why are you back so late?"
A man in pajamas came downstairs, his eyes filled with questioning.
"I went to a colleague's gathering."
"You never attend gatherings?"
"I wanted to today," Hua Mei replied, a hint of anger flashing through her eyes.
"Is it for that man who stayed in your office for twelve minutes and thirty-eight seconds?" the man questioned.
"You're investigating me again? I'm telling you, you can't touch him!"
Hua Mei's emotions suddenly became volatile, completely different from her previous demeanor. She clutched her hair with her slender fingers, her eyes turning scarlet!
"You're so concerned about him? Could it be you have some unspeakable relationship?"
The man said coldly.
"I'm telling you, you can't touch him!"
"If you hadn't shown such concern, I might have spared his life. But because you're so worried about him, I absolutely will not let him go!"
Saying that, the man took out his phone and dialed a number: "Kill him!"
"You scoundrel!"
Hua Mei raised her hand to slap the man across the face. The man was somewhat angry, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. "Hua Mei, only you can make me be tolerant. If it were anyone else, they would be dead a hundred times by now!"
"Let him go! Let him go!"
"Impossible!"
"You scoundrel!"
Hua Mei slapped him again.
However, this time, the man grabbed her wrist. "I let you have your way once just now, don't push your luck."
"You..."
Hua Mei struggled, but the man's strength was immense, and she had no power to resist.
The man flung Hua Mei's arm away. Hua Mei stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground. She knelt there, covering her head and sobbing painfully, tears instantly flooding her cheeks.
The man seemed to soften, walking over and squatting beside her, gently stroking her soft hair, murmuring:
"Hua Mei, everything will pass. That man is just a passerby in your life. When a new colleague comes tomorrow, everything will return to normal."
Hua Mei blinked her eyes.
Can some things really return to normal?
At this moment, Chen Xuan had parked the car by the roadside, lit a cigarette, and jumped out of the car, sitting on the hood.
A moment later, a dark crowd of people surrounded him from all directions, each holding weapons like metal baseball bats.
It wasn't too late yet, and there were still white-collar workers jogging on the road. Seeing this scene, they scurried away in a flash, their pace several times faster than usual.
The crowd parted, and a middle-aged man walked out. He stared at Chen Xuan and said, "You are Chen Yiming."
"Something like that," Chen Xuan said lightly.
"What do you mean 'something like that'? If you are, you are. If you aren't, you aren't!" someone next to him shouted.
"I am," Chen Xuan said, taking a drag from his cigarette.
The middle-aged man said, "There is a head for every debt. Today, we are entrusted by someone to deal with you. We hope you turn into a vengeful spirit and don't trouble us brothers."
"Who sent you?"
"That's not for you to know!"
"It seems we'll have to fight, otherwise you won't tell the truth."
Chen Xuan's words caused the surrounding people to freeze, followed by bursts of disdainful laughter.
