Chapter 337: Chapter 340: Sudden Killing Intent
(Thank you for the rewards, and the evaluation tickets from the other two friends — thank you for your support, haha!)
————————————————————
"Xiao Yi, you are a very smart kid, and I believe you will understand too, haha, I hope you don’t blame me for being meddlesome."
Chen Jianguo said somewhat sheepishly.
"Not at all, how could I?"
Xiao Yi chuckled.
"Then I am relieved, no worries then. You should head back and rest early, haha."
After seeing that Xiao Yi truly didn’t seem to mind, Chen Jianguo finally felt relieved and smiled broadly. He waved his hand, signaling the temporary driver who had been recruited to close the car door.
"Oh right, Xiao Yi, the girl Han Lu is also quite exceptional. I’ve watched her grow up — she’s very kind, pretty, and innocent."
As Xiao Yi’s car door closed and the driver started the car and began to drive off slowly, Chen Jianguo suddenly smiled towards Xiao Yi again.
"Haha..."
The car had begun to move slowly, but Chen Jianguo’s voice still clearly entered his ears. Xiao Yi didn’t respond, watching from the rearview mirror. Seeing Chen Jianguo’s somewhat ambiguous smile, a bitter smile surfaced on Xiao Yi’s face. He knew that Chen Jianguo probably still misunderstood his relationship with Han Lu, thinking there was something between him and Han Lu when, in fact, there was nothing at all — they hadn’t even met for more than a brief moment.
The driver was skilled. Clearly, he wasn’t just someone Chen Jianguo randomly found, but a professional driver with good training. Throughout the ride, the car moved neither quickly nor slowly, smoothly exceptional, leaving Xiao Yi almost completely unable to feel any bumps or braking. Of course, the excellent performance and stability of the car itself played a significant role as well.
However, Xiao Yi didn’t particularly notice this; clubs like Jingyue Pavilion, being high-end establishments, were undoubtedly well-prepared and would definitely have a number of high-quality drivers ready to assist some of their esteemed guests.
People of status and position, like those who occasionally came out for a modest drink, would not drive drunk. Reaching a certain level in life, they valued their lives much more and wouldn’t act recklessly just to show off, unlike some nouveaux riches or the ordinary folks.
Feeling the steadiness of the car and the driver’s skills, Xiao Yi finally let down his guard entirely. He slightly narrowed his eyes, preparing to ease his mood.
However, just as he had barely closed his eyes, an abrupt change occurred!
The car suddenly screeched to a halt. Xiao Yi, having just completely relaxed, nearly flew forward towards the windshield.
Before he could grasp what had caused it, Xiao Yi’s Spiritual Sense immediately flared to its maximum extent. A strong killing intent suddenly pervaded from the front of the car.
Looking up, Xiao Yi saw that the car had unknowingly reached a secluded path near Azure Waterfront. The section of road, under the dim and dark yellow lights at night, was very quiet. A large man stood coldly in front of his BMW, staring at the car.
Meanwhile, the young driver beside him seemed not yet to have recovered, his face pale and his eyes filled with fear and terror.
Of course, his fear was not because he felt the killing intent from the man standing ahead but because of the recent incident. He had been driving steadily at not high speeds, which should not have led to such a clumsy situation. His eyes had been focused, constantly watching the road ahead and the surroundings without noticing anything amiss. However, he could never have expected that a person would suddenly appear so close.
That person, appearing ghost-like, had suddenly emerged unseen!
At the moment he saw the figure, it was already less than twenty meters away!
Almost at the instance he spotted the figure, he had stepped on the brakes forcefully; it was the only reaction he could muster!
He didn’t even have the time to swerve the steering wheel to avoid it!
His speed, though not very fast at about sixty kilometers per hour, was too short a distance for such short notice — less than twenty meters!
The moment he braked, he prayed incessantly that nothing would go wrong.
If an accident happened in his line of work, it meant the complete end of their careers. No one would care whether the incident was sudden or the fault lay with him!
His current job was not easy but very high-paying, and he would definitely have to declare it over!
And he might even face a hefty compensation!
It took him a while to recover slowly, seeing clearly that the person was still standing there less than three meters in front of his car. He couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief. After seeing Xiao Yi, who had almost hit the glass and eventually managed to steady his body, looking somewhat disheveled and saying nothing, he quickly stammered an explanation, "Mr. Xiao... I’m so sorry... really sorry... just now..."
"It’s okay, no problem, I know this isn’t related to you."
Xiao Yi looked at the young driver next to him, who was shakily apologizing, and quickly waved his hand with a smile to signal that it was alright.
While speaking, his eyes glanced at the man in front of him, seemingly in his fifties. The corner of his eyes revealed a trace of cold smile. From the strong killing intent the man had emitted briefly, he had realized that this was a person in the Intermediate Period of Bone Tempering. Moreover, this man was probably the only real combatant in the Bone Tempering Period he had encountered so far.
The so-called real combatant in the Bone Tempering Period means that he had grown through fighting and had participated in many real battles, even killing many people, like the man in front of him. That kind of killing intent could only be emitted by someone who had truly experienced a lot of bloodshed.
Such people, unlike Liu Dongjun who was like a flower in a greenhouse, fully fostered by his family, were completely different; they would be more cautious and more ruthless!
With a person like this suddenly appearing in front of the car, even with the best driving skills, it was impossible to ensure no sudden braking!
"Thank... "
The young man looked at Xiao Yi’s face, which showed a genuinely unconcerned smile, and even seemed not feigned, speaking to relieve him. Gratitude involuntarily appeared on his face. Driving for so long, he had met generous and reasonable passengers, and indeed, at a certain level, most passengers were quite gracious. But, it was really rare to see someone as young as Xiao Yi being so understanding. What he feared most was serving young masters like Xiao Yi, who were usually the most difficult to serve!
However, before he could finish his word of thanks, he found himself unable to continue speaking.
It was as if he had been enchanted. His eyes were fixed firmly ahead, his eyes seeming almost to bulge out, and the muscles on his face appeared to freeze, unable to move at all.
A man had just punched the hood of the BMW, denting it severely!
How was that possible!
Was it because I didn’t nap at noon, my eyes are hallucinating?
After a while, the enchantment on the young driver was lifted, and he vigorously raised his hand to rub his eyes, looking forward again.
However, he was disappointed. The scene before him did not disappear after he rubbed his eyes. On the contrary, it appeared even clearer because of it!
Just now, the man who stood in front of his car, about whom he was worried might get hit, was thinking after apologizing to Xiao Yi, he would definitely scold him harshly, giving him a verbal lesson. That man, over fifty, stood in front of his car, his fist hammered down fiercely on the hood of the BMW he was driving, denting it significantly!
His gaze stared straight in the direction of the car, that kind of look...
The young driver’s eyes just met his gaze, and his whole body instantly softened, his eyes hurriedly shifted elsewhere, a chill running down his spine...
"Are you looking for me?"
Watching the direction of the man’s punch, Xiao Yi’s eyebrows slightly furrowed; Chen Jianguo had provided this car to him, and now it was damaged, which annoyed him.
To prevent further damage, he slowly opened the car door, stepped out, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked towards the man in front of him.
"Are you Xiao Yi?"
The man’s fist finally moved away from the top of the car, and his gaze also slowly lifted, looking towards Xiao Yi.
"Correct."
Xiao Yi nodded. "However, if I remember correctly, we don’t know each other, right? I don’t recall offending you either? So why does it seem like you harbor quite a strong killing intent towards me?"
"You don’t need to worry about that, just know that you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have!"
Looking at the young man standing before him, the man’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. Was this the Xiao Yi that the young master spoke of? He looked so frail; was he really a trained expert?
The young master said he was slapped, and even dared to extort and attempt to deceive the family head, was it this young man?
This young man seemed too young. Did he really have some extraordinary means, daring to covet even the family head’s plans?
"Oh? I wonder which untouchable person it is? Could you allow me to die understanding why?"
Xiao Yi smiled faintly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote and support at qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation.)
