61: Chapter 59 Chapter 058: Foolish Woman 61: Chapter 59 Chapter 058: Foolish Woman “Exactly, you’re right, Brother Chen!” Feng Zhixiao grinned and laughed.

When he heard there was hope for the Hot Pot City deal, the little brothers were especially joyful, especially Xiao Er, whose dark eyes sparkled with excitement.

He looked at Ye Chen and said, “Big brother, really?

Does that mean I can eat all the hot pot I want from now on?”

“Shit, that’s all you aspire to!” Feng Zhixiao scolded, visibly dissatisfied with Xiao Er.

“Come on, brothers, let’s drink up this round.” Ye Chen took the lead in toasting.

Everyone immediately belted out cheers and drank.

Everyone there was a heavy drinker; Haozi and Da Xia were no exception.

If those two started drinking, they could easily match a keg each, probably managing ten bottles of beer each.

After the round, they were full from food and drink.

Haozi still had some wits about him and settled the bill.

Then the group stumbled out.

Six of them took two taxis back to Xin Hai Apartment.

Ye Chen slept at the head of the bed, completely knocked out.

In a daze, the sky was overcast, and a group of black-clad men furiously chased after him.

Ye Chen clutched his chest, his face deathly pale.

The scene shifted, and a stunningly exquisite yet immensely seductive woman’s face appeared before him.

Ye Chen strained to see the woman’s face clearly, but it seemed there were countless barriers between them.

He hastily asked, “Who are you?

Who are you?”

“Hee hee …” The woman smiled, then looked at Ye Chen and said, “Dear, do you really not recognize me?”

“Who are you, exactly?” Ye Chen shouted.

“I am…

the one who will kill you!” The woman suddenly drew a compact pistol and fired at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was shot in the chest, and immediately after, a large group of black-clothed men fiercely pursued him.

Soon after, Ye Chen fell off a cliff.

Thump…

Ye Chen landed hard on the ground, his face making intimate contact with the floor.

Ye Chen was helpless, having had the same dream repeatedly for over a year now, always these two scenes over and over.

He climbed up from the bed; outside, it was pitch dark.

Ye Chen felt his head swell, not just his head but his bladder was bursting too.

He rushed into the bathroom and began to relieve himself mightily.

“Haozi, Da Xia?!” Ye Chen called out twice, but there was no response from either, and a search around the house still showed no sign of them.

He guessed they might have gone back to Bamboo Forest District by now.

It was time to get some rest with work tomorrow.

Beep beep beep…

His phone rang.

The only person who would call him at this hour, aside from Liu Momo, was definitely no one else.

Ye Chen almost didn’t even look at the caller ID before answering warmly, “Momo, are you missing Brother Chen?”

“Hmph!” A light snort came through the phone, followed by Li Ruo’s voice, “Ye Chen, I’m right outside Xin Hai Apartment now.

You have one minute to show up in front of me!”

“Uh…” Ye Chen was taken aback, his brow furrowing as he said, “Sis, are you kidding?

It’s so late, and I have to work tomorrow!”

“I don’t care.

You have fifty-five seconds left now.

If you don’t show up in front of me within fifty-five seconds, I’ll tell a secret to Captain Zhang!” Li Ruo snorted lightly.

Ye Chen’s heart clenched—could this girl know something?

Ye Chen’s voice roughened as he asked, “What secret?!”

“Humph!” Li Ruo smirked and said, “The secret about where your thirty million came from!”

“Uh…” Ye Chen paused, then burst into laughter, saying, “What a joke, international.

My thirty million came honestly, I didn’t rob a bank!”

“True, you didn’t rob a bank!” Li Ruo murmured softly, “But what you did was much easier than robbing a bank!”

“What exactly do you know?” Ye Chen asked coldly.

“The police are now intensely searching for the whereabouts of Zhang Dadan’s five million dollars!” After Li Ruo finished speaking, Ye Chen immediately hung up the phone.

Only thirty seconds were left now.

His heart pounded furiously.

Damn!

How did she find out about this?

Could this woman have some conspiracy?

Ye Chen was no saint; if someone threatened his life, he would not hesitate to eliminate them, even if the person was as beautiful as an angel.

Ye Chen didn’t even change his clothes, still wearing the Tianya Group security uniform.

He leaped straight from the second-floor balcony.

Landing on the lawn below, he rolled several times, then sprang up from the ground and sprinted towards the gate of the apartment complex.

Outside, a black Ferrari sports car, particularly dazzling and conspicuous, had already gathered a crowd of onlookers.

Li Ruo was sitting in the driver’s seat, her eyes fixed on the entrance of the residential compound.

When she saw Ye Chen run out like a gust of wind, she immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Squeak…

The door of the sports car opened like the wings of a flying bird.

Li Ruo poked her head out, smiled at Ye Chen, and said, “Get in!”

Ye Chen didn’t say a word, immediately got into the passenger seat, and asked impatiently, “How did you know?”

“Hehe, I’m not telling you!” Li Ruo, like a little girl who had got a new toy, revealed an innocent smile, decisively closed the car door, and then pressed her foot on the accelerator, saying, “There is a car race on Xiangming Mountain today.

If you can help me win the race, I’ll tell you, how about that?”

“You silly woman, you clearly know that the wolves on the mountain are luring you there, yet you still go every day!” Ye Chen glared at Li Ruo and said, “Whether it’s Young Master Wei or those lowlifes, which one of them isn’t eyeing your body?

In their eyes, you are just a little lamb.

I can’t believe you’re actually throwing yourself into their firing line!”

Ye Chen said this in a moment of anger.

He was prepared for Li Ruo’s retort.

However, instead of retaliating, Li Ruo just looked at him with a beaming smile and said sweetly, “I trust you, don’t I?”

Seeing Li Ruo’s delicate manner, Ye Chen became even more convinced that this girl had a split personality; she was a completely different person by day and by night.

“Forget it, I’ll help you this time, but this is the last time!” Ye Chen felt helpless.

“Hehe, I knew you were the best!” Li Ruo giggled, then raised her right hand and kissed it, pressing her hand against Ye Chen’s cheek, saying, “Consider this an advance reward.”

“Uh…” Ye Chen was stunned, shit, definitely a split personality.

The Li Ruo of the daytime would never do such ‘weird’ things.

Ye Chen would rather believe in ghosts than believe that this Li Ruo was the same person as the daytime Li Ruo.

However, if it wasn’t the same person, how could it be possible?

Li Ruo had a tiny mole on her neck, something that always remained unchanged, even in twins.

Li Ruo watched Ye Chen’s dumbfounded expression and laughed heartily, then pressed hard on the accelerator.

The Ferrari let out a wild roar, and the car sped toward the mountain top.

In the mountain valley, crazy racing sounds echoed—roars, screeches…

In a blink, they reached the mountain top.

The mountain top was bustling with noise, with amateur racers from Jianghuai City and surrounding cities like Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, Dongguan, and others rushing to Xiangming Mountain for the car racing event.

On the large platform at the mountaintop, illuminated by xenon lights, it was as bright as daylight.

Dozens of top-notch sports cars were messily parked.

The entire mountaintop was divided into racing areas by regions.

Li Ruo’s arrival did not draw anyone’s attention, but Young Master Wei immediately saw Li Ruo’s Ferrari—after all, it was his car.

As if they were psychically linked, Young Master Wei, dressed in a bizarre outfit with his hair dyed in a strange style and crystal-clear earrings hanging from his ears, waved towards Li Ruo’s car.

Li Ruo was stunned for a moment, then drove the car toward Young Master Wei and parked in the Jianghuai City racers’ rest area.

Li Ruo and Ye Chen got out of the car at the same time.

Young Master Wei was momentarily taken aback, then smiled, “Mr.

Li, you brought your security guard with you?”

“I’ll say it again, he is my friend!” Li Ruo looked at him very coldly.

“Yes, yes!” Young Master Wei quickly nodded, then looked at Ye Chen and smiled saying, “May I know your esteemed name?”

“My surname is Ye, and my given name is just Chen!” replied Ye Chen.

“Oh, Mr.

Ye!” Young Master Wei smiled lightly.

In fact, he had already thoroughly researched basic details about Ye Chen.

Then, turning to Li Ruo, Young Master Wei said, “Today is the amateur racer competition.

Mr.

Li, are you interested in participating?”

“Of course, I’m interested!” Li Ruo nodded, saying, “I’m here for the first prize!”

“Haha, speaking of which, I’m also quite interested in that V8 engine!” laughed Young Master Wei.

“A V8 engine from an F1 race car?” Ye Chen widened his eyes.

“Yes!” Li Ruo nodded, curiously asking, “Ye Chen, you know about F1 racing too?”

“A little bit!” Ye Chen swallowed hard and asked, “Where did their V8 engine come from?

I remember this thing isn’t allowed on the market; it’s meant for professional F1 cars.

If it’s installed on a regular car, it could be fatal!”
