The office door swung open and Lisa, looking thoroughly irritated, tossed a thick stack of reports onto Cheng Daqi’s desk.

“Cheng, I’m really disappointed.

You promised full support for the MAS project, and what happened?

Everything’s been dumped on me, and all you do every day is watch short videos and nothing else!”

CEO Cheng shrugged his shoulders, smiling in response.

“Watching short videos is part of the job, Lisa.

I’m nearly sick of it.

How about we grab a drink tonight?”

When a high-ranking officer throws a tantrum, it’s simple—take her/him out for a drink.

A normal worker is different from a high-ranking officer.

Lisa is not just CEO Cheng’s friend but also his business partner, and he can’t value her too much.

Winning hearts and minds is necessary everywhere, and CEO Cheng indeed realizes he’s been somewhat neglectful with company matters recently.

“Not in the mood…

Forget it, let’s just go to my place.

I don’t want to end up stumbling home drunk from some bar.”

Lisa had intended to decline, but she changed her mind given Cheng’s recent falling out with Zhao Hongjin.

Cheng, even you get mentally exhausted sometimes.

As a mutual friend of Cheng Daqi and Zhao Hongjin, the blonde Caucasian girl knew about their breakup—although she always felt the two were just playing house.

Madly rushing together, madly rushing apart—is this a game?

But she took Cheng’s recent indifference to company affairs as a sign of his heartache, thinking he might need a little emotional support from a friend.

Only, it was a misunderstanding.

CEO Cheng was worried about California, about America’s future, not so much about the trivialities of MAS—Gru, Forbes, Dracula, the shifting situation in California was getting wider and even the overconfident CEO Cheng occasionally doubted himself.

He feared he might be walking blindly.

“Okay then, how’s driving the Marsha been lately?

I’m thinking about getting a new car.

Do you have any car in mind that you’d like?

I’ll give you another one as a gift this time.”

“It’s been great, but I’ll pass on another free car, Cheng.

Have you gone off the rails since losing Zhao?

We’re just friends; don’t get the wrong idea.”

“Hahaha, Lisa, buying cars can be tax-deductible.

MAS indeed needs some company cars; it’s just convenient to give you one in the process.”

The blonde chick turned beet red from Cheng’s rebuttal, too embarrassed to speak anymore.

She just sulkily drove the Marsha, taking Cheng to her place for a drink.

She was also innocent; after all, that’s how it goes in the U.S.

TV shows.

What, having a drink with a female friend after a breakup and then casually hooking up?

She hadn’t thought about these things until Cheng suddenly offered her another car, and Lisa momentarily played it awkward.

Now cringing so hard she was curling her toes inside her shoes, she didn’t want to talk anymore.

The red Marsha was leading, with a black Tesla trailing behind.

Danze smoked and watched the red car’s rear.

He’d gotten used to Cheng flitting from one woman to another.

CEO Cheng was carefree, yet he couldn’t let his guard down, especially as Cheng had been on edge recently with Mi’er, and Danze had seen it all.

The meeting with Daniel also troubled Danze.

Lisa’s place wasn’t far from the office.

The two cars made their way toward her home, but a white Nissan SUV was blocking the entrance to the garage, preventing them from entering.

Both just sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the black Nissan to move inside.

“Cheng, did you and Zhao have a fight?” Lisa broke the awkward silence.

“No, we just broke up.”

“So, she really took a sabbatical and left America?” The blonde Caucasian girl couldn’t quite grasp Cheng’s tactics.

“Yeah, she won’t be back for a while.

It’s my fault, I guess.”

“You’ve been wearing a long face these days, and everyone at the office is scared.

Zhao suddenly left, and they speculate it’s because of your relationship issues.”

“The staff knows I was dating her?” CEO Cheng was surprised, thinking his secret-keeping was better than that—how did everyone find out about such a short relationship?

“We’re not blind.

Before, whenever her shooting ran late, you always took her out to eat or drove her home.

Everyone saw it.

I just don’t understand why you two would break up.

She’s a good girl, and you’re a good guy, ah.”

The blonde girl meant to comfort Cheng, but she wasn’t very good at it; after all, Lisa hadn’t even dated once before.

“Yes, she is a good girl.”

CEO Cheng sighed ruefully, causing Lisa to look at him with surprise.

“You…”

Cheng’s attention was drawn to the Nissan’s doors opening, his brow furrowed, then his pupils contracted.

Shit, why are these two wearing hoods?

“Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!”

“Fak!”

Instinctively, Cheng pressed down on Lisa’s head, forcing her body down.

Two gunmen climbed out of the white Nissan, pistols in hand, and started shooting at the Marsha’s windshield.

However, these guys’ aiming was terrible; after emptying two magazines, they failed to hit Cheng.

For those with limited shooting experience, the accuracy of a handgun isn’t much affected by distance, it heavily depends on the shooter’s skill.

The two men who exited the Nissan SUV were clearly not proficient, which gave Cheng and Lisa a chance to survive.

Most importantly, there was a slope in front of the garage door, and from the gunmen’s eye level, they couldn’t even see Cheng and Lisa laying down inside the Marsha.

“Damn, what is this, a robbery?” The voice of the blonde girl trembled slightly.

“No, they’re after me.

I decided to drop by your place for a drink tonight, but they got here before us.

Lisa, don’t move, my bodyguard will take action.”
