The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 246 - 246 237 234 Hide and Seek

246: Chapter 237 Chapter 234: Hide and Seek 246: Chapter 237 Chapter 234: Hide and Seek Ye Chen dashed out in a flash, driving while munching on the breakfast he had just bought downstairs—five meat buns.

“Zhang Yantong, you little wretch, do you really want to kill me?

Why catch a flight at ten in the morning?

Why not buy a ticket for the afternoon?”

While grumbling, Ye Chen continued to wolf down his meat bun.

On the way to the airport from Xin Hai Apartment, the road inevitably passed by the Jinsheng Hotel.

Although the morning rush hour was over, there were still people walking on the road, and a sizable number of vehicles heading toward the airport.

“Shit, a red light!” Ye Chen glared at the traffic light ahead.

It would’ve been fine if it was just the red light; he could have just sped through, but there was a car stopped in front of this damned red light, blocking his way.

Ye Chen had no option but to silently wait behind, hoping the thirty seconds would pass quickly.

While waiting, a black Beijing Hyundai slowly pulled up beside him on the left.

It seemed like just another ordinary incident, but when Ye Chen turned his head to look inside, he saw a guy with piercing blue eyes.

By his attire, the guy was definitely from Northwest Xinjiang.

Ye Chen, out of curiosity, took a harder look.

However, the guy glared fiercely back at him, then immediately rolled up the window.

Stunned, Ye Chen quickly rolled down his window to get a better look at the car, sensing an eerie and unsettling feeling about it, although he wasn’t exactly sure why.

Looking around, Ye Chen still couldn’t identify anything out of the ordinary, but suddenly a bold idea struck him.

Could there be a bomb installed in the car?

Like animals that can predict earthquakes, humans too have a strong sense for danger, and Ye Chen could distinctly feel a massive threat emanating from that car.

Soon, he cast Zhang Yantong’s worries out of his mind.

The red light changed in a flash, and the green light lit up.

Immediately, the Beijing Hyundai Elantra shot out.

Ye Chen followed right behind.

He memorized the other car’s plate, and to avoid making the driver suspicious that he was being followed, Ye Chen purposely overtook the car and then drove ahead.

However, when he looked back to find the Elantra, it had vanished.

“Shit, playing hide and seek with me?!” Frustrated, Ye Chen angrily slammed on the gas pedal, driving furiously.

The other driver surely hadn’t noticed him, so the task they were performing must be nearby.

It couldn’t have gone far, Ye Chen decided to conduct a thorough search.

Very soon, he spotted the Elantra again.

It was strangely parked under a tree not far from Jinsheng Hotel.

Ye Chen looked around curiously, wondering what type of person would warrant such a bomb attack.

Perhaps it wasn’t a bomb, maybe the car carried some deadly weapon.

But, relying on his instincts, Ye Chen was certain something dangerous was installed in that car.

Ye Chen decided to stake out the area and watch.

But after a few minutes, he discovered a huge problem.

Li Ruo was leading a group of over ten important executives from Tianya Group out of the hotel.

Li Ruo, walking in front, had a smile on her face, clearly having successfully negotiated a significant deal—no wonder Little Ni hadn’t been paying attention to him these days, even though she had confessed to him and he had responded uncertainly.

However, that didn’t mean he didn’t love her.

On the contrary, Ye Chen loved her deeply, but with his memories still missing, he dared not love, fearing he would bring a bad ending to those close to him.

Ye Chen saw Li Ruo, and the driver inside the Elantra saw her too.

To avoid detection, Ye Chen parked a little further away.

“Damn it, don’t get out, don’t come out!” Ye Chen exclaimed in panic, shakily taking out his phone and starting to dial Li Ruo’s number.

To his horror, he discovered that Li Ruo’s phone was off—understandable, as turning off the phone during a project negotiation was necessary out of respect for the other party.

By then, Li Ruo had already walked down the steps of the Jinsheng Hotel.

Suddenly, the Elantra under the tree started moving—it fired up, and Ye Chen panicked, gritting his teeth and igniting the engine.

His car’s ignition immediately caught the Elantra driver’s attention, who fiercely stepped on the accelerator.

Although the Elantra picked up speed slowly, despite flooring the gas pedal, the car’s speed didn’t pick up quickly.

On the other hand, Ye Chen was practically watching the opponent accelerate toward him.

He too slammed on the gas pedal, and fortunately, his Oto had been modified, enhancing all its performance characteristics almost on par with a Ferrari 458.

As he pressed down on the pedal, his car instantly roared.

“Ye Chen?!” Li Ruo looked up just in time to see Ye Chen speeding toward her at ninety miles an hour, and she gasped in shock, “Ye Chen, what…

what are you doing!”

Li Ruo, and even everyone else at the scene, hadn’t noticed the black Elantra heading straight towards Li Ruo’s back.

Everyone’s attention had been caught by the roaring sound of Ye Chen’s Oto.

“Be careful!” A bodyguard instantly noticed the anomaly, shouting out in alarm.

However, he was too far from Li Ruo to rush over.

Lin Ziwen quickly turned his head, dashing forward and grabbing hold of Li Ruo.

At that moment, Ye Chen’s car struck like a ghostly shadow, crashing violently into the opponent.

Ye Chen clenched his teeth and furiously said, “Shit, you dare to bully our Xiao Ruo, you don’t want to live anymore!”

As he charged forward, Ye Chen clearly saw the panic of the opposing driver because if he failed, it meant his life would have been in vain.

Gritting his teeth, he charged fiercely, regardless of success or failure, he was ready to die.

Better to die gloriously than to die shrinking back.

Both cars charged towards each other at high speed.

Beep beep beep…

Right at the moment of the collision, the cell phone Ye Chen had left in the car’s storage box suddenly rang.

Ye Chen glanced down, and the caller ID showed Zhang Yantong.

He suddenly realized and then immediately felt relieved.

He smiled faintly and said, “Tongtong, let me take you for a ride in the next life!”

Boom…

A loud explosion sounded, and as the opposing car exploded, Ye Chen spat out a few words, “Shit, it’s a C4 bomb.

It’s over…”

Then, a huge flame soared into the sky, and both cars were instantly blown apart.

Everything was obliterated in the flames, the massive fire rising like a mushroom cloud, drawing the eyes of everyone at the scene.

They clearly saw Ye Chen drive into the onslaught and were moved by his determination, touched by his fearless spirit.

“No…” Li Ruo witnessed Ye Chen driving into the opposing car, and she suddenly cried out in alarm.

How could smart Xiao Ruo not understand what had just happened?

She desperately tried to break free from Lin Ziwen’s restraint, but Lin Ziwen held her tightly, saying, “Mr.

Li, it’s too dangerous!

Don’t go there!”

Li Ruo struggled like an angry lioness, furiously shouting, “Let me go, let me go, I have to see Ye Chen!”

All security guards of the hotel immediately took action, each holding a fire extinguisher.

Despite having several fire extinguishers, they were of no use against such fierce flames.

The police had already been alerted, and within two minutes, fire trucks arrived at the scene.

Located nearby, the fire department dispatched quickly, with a couple of fire trucks vigorously spraying the blazing flames with their large hoses.

Soon, the fire was brought under control.

However, looking at the two charred vehicles, even the firefighters said, “We don’t expect there are any survivors.”

“Save them, save them for me!” Li Ruo rushed forward, kneeling in front of the debris, using her tender, soft hands to dig through the heavy scrap metal, including the extremely hot, even glowing red, metal pieces.

The scorching hot metal hurt Li Ruo excruciatingly, the glowing glass almost blackening her hands.

Yet, she didn’t give up; the surrounding firefighters immediately rushed up.

They were fully equipped, wearing heat-resistant, cut-resistant gloves.

Lin Ziwen hurriedly approached and embraced Li Ruo, saying, “Mr.

Li, please stop this; be careful, it’s dangerous!”

“No, don’t hold me back!” Li Ruo, as if completely numb, dug through the ruins, trying to pull Ye Chen out.

Lin Ziwen anxiously said, “Leave it to the firefighters, this is tormenting yourself!”

“Ye Chen, Ye Chen, come out!” Li Ruo once again broke free from Lin Ziwen’s grasp and plunged into the debris.

Two firefighters immediately grabbed Li Ruo, saying, “Mr.

Li, let us handle this.

Under these conditions, it’s unlikely anyone survived!”

“No, it’s not possible, Ye Chen must be alive, he just must!” Li Ruo clenched her teeth.

“We will rescue them as soon as possible!” The firefighters have seen countless accident scenes, but this was probably one of the most severe, with signs of an explosive as well.

It was unlikely that anyone in the vehicles was still alive.

However, the firefighters were still working hard to rescue people from the wreck.

As the crowd gathered outside the entrance of Jinsheng Hotel, at Jianghuai Airport, a girl in a white dress carrying a pink suitcase dialed countless numbers.

But the person on the other end was constantly busy.

Zhang Yantong sighed, her eyes filled with disappointment as she glanced at the entrance of the airport.

Then she put her phone in her pocket, took her suitcase, and walked into the security checkpoint.

“Trying to change for you, but unable to change the predetermined traps, thought being by your side meant forever, seemed like yesterday, but yesterday is now far away, yet when I close my eyes I can still see, unfortunately, it’s not you, accompanying me to the end, once walked together but lost at that junction, thankful it was you, whose hand I had held…”
