385: Chapter 385: Accident 385: Chapter 385: Accident “Who’s your buddy?”

Lin Zinuo lifted her red high heels and stepped on Su Mo’s foot.

Caught off guard by Lin Zinuo’s unexpected move, Su Mo got stomped on and winced in pain so much that his face twisted.

“You…”

“That’s for your nonsense talk.”

Lin Zinuo answered back, pissed off.

The female attendants nearby couldn’t help but almost burst into laughter, all holding it back with difficulty.

As Su Mo was about to explain to Lin Zinuo, his phone popped up with a message.

He picked it up and saw it was sent from an unknown number.

“Dear Mr.

Su Mo, if there are no changes, our chauffeur-driven car will depart to pick you up shortly.”

Su Mo composed a message with a serious expression and sent a reply.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Su Mo looking somewhat off, Lin Zinuo put away her petulance and asked.

“Nothing, it’s about time.

Our ride is here.”

Checking the time, Su Mo saw it was already past four in the afternoon, the whole day had passed without realizing it.

“I’m a bit nervous.”

Lin Zinuo started to feel inexplicably nervous upon hearing that from Su Mo.

Although she had fought for this opportunity, she also felt fearful as the moment arrived.

“Nervous about what?

We’re just going to make an appearance.

Eat if there’s food, drink if there’s a drink.”

Despite shrugging it off lightly, Su Mo himself had his own doubts.

“Alright.”

Lin Zinuo mustered a bit of courage, thinking that at least she was dressed in an expensive gown, hoping not to embarrass herself too much.

“Okay, wait for me for a moment.”

Su Mo turned and grabbed a black suit and went into the dressing room.

…

Soon after, Su Mo and Lin Zinuo walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.

Along the way, Lin Zinuo couldn’t help but sneak glances at Su Mo.

Su Mo, dressed in formal attire, exuded a charisma that attracted the fervent gazes of many women.

Just then, a low-key luxurious shuttle pulled up in front of them, and a very young man got out of the car, bowing respectfully to Su Mo and Lin Zinuo.

“Mr.

Su Mo, I presume?

I’m Xiao Li, sent to pick you up.

Apologies for the wait.”

“No worries.”

“Please get into the car then.”

“Alright.”

Su Mo and Lin Zinuo then got into the back seat.

The vehicle started soon after and headed towards the towering wall.

As the wall got closer, Su Mo felt a stir of emotion, childhood memories growing clearer bit by bit.

To be honest, the time he spent living behind those high walls was quite happy.

Although he was frail back then, he didn’t face any discrimination at school.

On the contrary, he got along quite well with his classmates.

This was also a reason why Su Mo did not hold any aversion to people from the upper echelons.

While Su Mo was lost in thought, the car reached the entrance of the high walls, where routine checks were expected.

Five fully armed guards approached with a stern demeanor.

However, Xiao Li, the driver, just rolled down the window and handed over some paperwork.

The leading officer glanced over it, handed the documents back, and then waved his hand.

“Clear!”

Seeing this scene, Lin Zinuo revealed an incredulous expression and said to Su Mo in a cautious whisper.

“This is too incredible, isn’t it?

To enter the high walls without any check?”

“Hmm.”

Su Mo narrowed his eyes.

This gesture was indeed impressive, but it also indirectly showed Cao Wen’s power.

The car quickly made its way inside the high walls, where tall buildings filled with a sense of futuristic technology stood, and several hover trains could be seen in the air.

Intelligent robotic servants were everywhere.

The streets were lined with special metallic tiles, which could be stepped on at any moment to call for intelligent services.

Virtual projection images were all over the sky.

If the high walls within Imperial City resembled a sanctuary for the elderly, then inside the high walls of Demon City, it was more like a city of future technology, where the world’s most cutting-edge technology was prevalent.

The car quickly reached the interior.

Lin Zinuo looked out at the scenery with great curiosity.

“How magnificent.”

“The high walls within Demon City are known as the economic center of our country.

The economic indicators of the entire nation rely heavily on the trends here,” Xiao Li, the driver, explained with a smile.

“Shouldn’t the economic trends of the country be indicated by the Five Dragon Heads?” Zinuo asked subconsciously.

“It’s different.

The Five Dragon Heads can only represent the upper-tier economy, but not the grassroots economy.

You should know that seventy percent of the financial institutions and bank headquarters in the entire nation are located here, and in terms of financial magnitude, this place is not at all inferior to them.”

“Oh, I see.”

Lin Zinuo responded with an air of semi-comprehension.

“Moreover, the financial atmosphere in Demon City is actually superior in certain aspects compared to Imperial City, because this is an open market, relatively more free, while Imperial City tends to lean towards a planned market…”

Xiao Li spoke to Lin Zinuo with knowledgeable insight.

Just then, Lin Zinuo suddenly yelled in alarm.

“Watch out!”

A cute pet dog suddenly broke free from its leash and darted over.

Xiao Li’s brows furrowed as he reacted instantly by slowly applying the brakes, not slamming them on!

But such a maneuver was actually very appropriate.

Slamming on the brakes could easily cause an accident and affect the passengers behind.

Slowly braking would not be as abrupt, but the consequence was hitting the small dog head-on.

As expected, the little dog was hit and killed, blood spattering everywhere.

“My Xiao Di!”

A shrill cry of shock and fear erupted.

Xiao Li turned to Su Mo and Lin Zinuo apologetically, “Sorry for encountering a bit of trouble.

Please wait in the car for a moment; I’ll deal with this as swiftly as possible…”

“Sure.”

Mr.

Su Mo nodded in response, having seen the whole process.

It was just an accident, and Xiao Li actually handled it correctly.

“Thank you.”

After speaking, Xiao Li opened the car door to get out, and the moment he closed it, he made sure to lock the car door to prevent the emotional fallout from the accident from affecting the passengers.

His concerns proved to be well-founded.

A woman, dressed in a fur coat and wearing sunglasses, seemed to lose her reason out of anger as she accused Xiao Li.

“Why did you have to kill my Xiao Di, you murderer!”

Xiao Li politely responded, “Miss, it was your dog that suddenly ran into the road.

I had no time to react or deal with it.

There are surveillance cameras all over the place.

If you don’t believe me, we can check all the surveillance footage here.

According to the law, I am not responsible.

Moreover, you should compensate me for the damage to my car, but I am currently dealing with an emergency, so let’s forget about compensation.

Please step aside.”

Unfortunately, the lady in front of him had already lost her composure, shaking with anger.

Her beloved pet had been killed, and the other party was still presenting a courteous front as if to disregard the compensation, which immediately infuriated her as she began slapping the hood of Xiao Li’s car.

“This old car of yours isn’t worth a tenth of my Xiao Di.

I’m going to call the police…”
