After the man on stage finished speaking, Liu Nian joined the students in applauding him.

After Li Yao came down, Liu Nian looked at him and said in a low voice, "Boss, can't you smile? Who upset you today?"

Li Yao glanced at her, choosing to ignore her words and pursing her lips without saying a word.

Liu Nian found him extremely boring, but she patiently sat for almost half an hour.

Li Yao's time was precious, so the principal didn't dare keep him for too long. He invited him to the school's reception room, saying he had something to discuss with him.

Liu Nian didn't want to go: "President Li, can you go by yourself? I have a younger brother at this school, I'd like to go talk to him."

To her surprise, Li Yao didn't even look at her after hearing this and directly refused: "No."

fleeting time:"……"

Okay! Fine!

After Li Yao talked with the principal about the general progress of the school's library construction, another half hour passed.

It didn't end until five o'clock.

Liu Nian found it really boring. She preferred negotiating with strong business rivals, which was much more interesting than this pointless chatter about things that had already been agreed upon.

On the way back, Assistant Xie picked me up again.

As soon as Liu Nian got on the bus, she said, "Don't invite me to events like this next time."

Li Yao stared at her coldly, not intending to speak.

Assistant Xie glanced awkwardly at the rearview mirror.

Actually, this event doesn't really require Liu Nian's participation, but because her boss insists, Liu Nian has to go even if she doesn't want to!

"Ding-dong~" In the silent car, a message notification sounded abruptly.

Liu Nian's phone vibrated, and she took it out to look at it.

Xiao Yang: [Sister, we're going to have hot pot tonight, do you want to come?]

When Liu Nian saw this message, she remembered that Si Yue had sent her a message today, which she hadn't replied to yet.

She replied to Xiao Yang first: "I probably can't make it!"

Then I found Si Yue, and the message time showed 11:30 a.m.

Liu Nian: [Sorry, I've been a bit busy with work, that's why I only just had time to check my phone.]

Liu Nian: [Sister who's eating hot pot might not have time.]

"Ding-dong~"

"Ding-dong...ding..."

Her phone beeped several times with message notifications. Just as Liu Nian was thinking of replying to them, she suddenly felt a cold gaze fixed on her.

Liu Nian turned her head and met the big boss sitting next to her.

Liu Nian found him a bit puzzling: "What's wrong, boss? Is there something you need to say?"

Li Yao frowned: "Don't you know Guan Jingyin?"

fleeting time:"……"

It turned out she had disturbed him! Liu Nian silently turned off the mute.

Then she chatted happily with her brothers, completely unaware of the oppressive atmosphere emanating from the man next to her.

After the car entered the company's underground parking lot, Liu Nian got out of the car first.

"Boss, it's seven o'clock, time to go home!" she said as she walked towards her BMW.

Li Yao didn't call out to her, but instead coldly walked towards the elevator on the basement floor.

Assistant Xie naturally had to go along.

He was a miserable wage earner; as long as his boss didn't leave work, he couldn't leave either.

Liu Nian drove aimlessly.

In such a large city as Kyoto, she had no idea where to go.

When people are lost, God won't help them find their way; instead, He will kick them when they're down.

As Liu Nian was driving smoothly on the road, she watched helplessly as water droplets began to fall one after another onto her windshield.

"Sigh! The weather is really not cooperating." Liu Nian muttered to herself as she turned on the windshield wipers.

Because it was raining, and because she valued her own life, she chose to slow down for the safety of everyone.

If we drive normally for a while, something unexpected is about to happen.

There was a loud "screech! bang! bang!"

The sounds of screeching brakes, car horns, and collisions rang out amidst the torrential rain.

Liu Nian was thrown forward by the impact, then pulled back by the seatbelt. Before she could react, the car was hit from the side again, and she was thrown violently towards the passenger side.

After everything stopped, the car became quiet, with only the sound of rain still pattering outside.

Liu Nian felt dizzy and had several abrasions on her body due to the shattered car window glass falling on her.

As she leaned back in her seat to catch her breath, several police officers arrived outside her car.

After opening her car door, the police officer asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"

Liu Nian felt dizzy and her ears were ringing, so she couldn't hear what he was saying very clearly.

The police didn't hesitate; seeing that she was covered in blood, they quickly called their colleagues for help.

The accident occurred on a road not far from the food street.

At that moment, Su Ke, who was holding an umbrella, reflexively looked over because of the violent collision sound from the car accident and stopped in his tracks.

After watching for a while, he realized that the accident was caused by a rear-end collision, which then caused the following car to skid due to braking, affecting a third-party vehicle and ultimately resulting in a three-car collision.

The BMW was badly damaged in the crash; the car was almost completely deformed. I wonder if the people inside died on the spot.

Just as he was about to turn away and leave, he suddenly saw two policemen helping a woman out of a BMW.

When Su Ke saw the woman's face clearly, his blood ran cold and his pupils dilated.

Some blurry images flashed through my mind.

He thought he was seeing things, blinked, and looked again.

This time he was certain that the woman who was unable to stand on her own and was being carried by the police was Liu Nian.

Almost without thinking, his body moved faster than his brain, and he rushed over.
