Brake failure.
The atmosphere inside the car suddenly plummeted to freezing point.
Si Boye's first reaction was to hold Jiang Nian's hand beside him.
With an aura of authority, he raised his eyes and commanded the driver in the front seat: "Turn on the hazard lights."
"Press the brake pedal and downshift to see if you can reduce the speed."
The driver is familiar with these procedures.
Faced with such a sudden danger, it's hard for ordinary people not to feel nervous and panicked.
Upon hearing Si Boye's order, he finally snapped out of his daze: "Yes!"
Jiang Nian hadn't expected this to happen, and her expression tensed instantly: "Si Boye..."
"Don't be afraid, baby, fasten your seatbelt first."
Jiang Nian had never seen Si Boye with such a serious expression.
Even in such a dangerous situation, the man's voice remained calm and steady when he spoke to himself.
He moved extremely quickly, fastening her seatbelt in almost a few seconds.
"And your own seatbelt."
Jiang Nian frowned and quickly helped Si Boye fasten his seatbelt.
There's simply no time to think about who tampered with the car.
Because the situation is not good.
Even though the driver downshifted, the car's speed didn't decrease at all.
To make matters worse, the hotel hosting the banquet was located in the city center.
There aren't many pedestrians on the road right now. But if you drive along the current road, you'll reach a busy intersection in a few dozen seconds.
A car without brakes hurtling past at that speed would have unimaginable consequences. It wouldn't just endanger them, but countless others as well.
Seeing that if no action was taken, the car would only continue forward, Si Boye took a deep breath and said directly to the driver, "Turn right and drive towards that construction site over there."
There was an abandoned construction site not far away.
Apart from the building itself, which was only half-built, there were large piles of sand, gravel, bricks, and fences outside.
The driver understood that driving in such areas would increase resistance, slow down the vehicle, and potentially reduce the danger.
With a sharp turn of the steering wheel, the car lurched forward due to inertia. In that instant, Jiang Nian's eyes were covered.
Immediately afterwards, the man's tall and broad body pressed her directly against his chest from the front.
His arm also shielded her head.
All of this happened too fast.
Jiang Nian didn't even have time to push the person away. The next second, a violent collision occurred, followed by a dizzying sensation as the world spun around her.
Before Jiang Nian lost consciousness, the last words she heard were—
"I love you."
"Baby, I won't let anything happen to you."
…
Jiang Ren arrived in Jiangcheng last night.
Lu Zhaokun ordered him to come to China in person and kill the man named Si Boye.
He dragged it out for a long time.
But since it was that person's order, he had to come.
Before taking action, he stood guard outside the Ji family villa. This morning, he saw the young lady being led by the man's hand and getting into his car.
The young lady seems to be living a very good life in China.
For the first time, I had a real family, friends, and even someone I liked.
Her maternal grandfather and brothers cherish her dearly and have prepared a grand banquet for her today.
I heard that at today's banquet, they will announce the news of the young lady's engagement to that man.
But he received instructions.
Today is the deadline for him to take action.
If the young lady can't kill Si Boye before the banquet announces his engagement to her, then he'll have to go back to M country to face his death.
He originally planned to make his move at the hotel where the banquet was being held, when the young lady was not present, but even he did not expect that the car she was in would have an accident on the road.
It looked like the brakes had failed. After the car came to a stop, he immediately rushed over and opened the door.
The man named Si Boye had injuries to his head and back and had fallen into a coma.
The young lady was held tightly in the man's arms, and although she was not injured, she also fainted from the violent impact.
He knelt on the ground and carefully pulled the young lady out of the man's arms and into his own.
The phone rang.
That person's voice never revealed any emotional fluctuations.
No one has ever dared to speculate about his emotions and thoughts.
"How is the situation?"
His voice was calm: "On the way to the banquet, the young lady's vehicle was involved in a car accident."
"The man was seriously injured while protecting the young lady. The young lady was not injured, but she is unconscious."
He heard Lu Zhaokun pause for a few seconds.
He spoke casually.
"That's perfect, let's kill that person now."
He held the girl in his arms, his fists clenching tightly unconsciously until his knuckles turned white: "But Miss..."
That was the lover the young lady had chosen.
He wasn't afraid of killing. But he was afraid of the look in the young lady's eyes after she woke up and learned the truth.
"She's been out having fun long enough."
He heard Lu Zhaokun say that.
"Bring her back."
He paused for a few seconds: "Miss won't agree. When she wakes up, she will definitely..."
"I said, bring her back."
It was interrupted coldly.
Are you questioning my decision?
"..."
He stood up, holding the young lady in his arms.
Even in her unconscious state, the young lady was as beautiful as moonlight. Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she nestled in his arms.
He made the young lady lie on top of him.
He then silently pulled out a gun with a silencer and fired a shot at the unconscious man.
Immediately afterwards, a sufficiently large dose of anesthetic was inserted into the young lady's neck.
By the time the people at the banquet learned about the car accident, he had already boarded a private plane with the young lady and headed to country M.
As he disembarked from the plane, he saw a man in a wheelchair. Two men in black suits stood guard behind him, their expressions solemn.
Lu Zhaokun stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers, his extremely handsome face appearing and disappearing in the moonlight.
"Give her to me."
Jiang Ren's breath caught in his throat for a moment.
In the end, she lowered her eyes, stepped forward, and handed the girl over to the man.
It's been half a year since I last saw you.
The girl has changed a lot.
Even while unconscious, her features softened, unlike her previous aloofness and sharpness.
I feel like I've become so used to being pampered that I'm too weak to even lift a gun.
Lu Zhaokun raised his hand and stroked the girl's long hair, his eyes deep and unfathomable. He asked the person beside him.
"Dr. Hollens, are you here?"
"Dr. Hollens?"
If I remember correctly, the other party is the world's most famous neurosurgeon. He possesses a technique that is not permitted by law or morality—brainwashing.
Jiang Ren's expression changed, and although he knew he was overstepping his bounds, he couldn't help but clench his fists and step forward, "What are you going to do to Miss?"
Lu Zhaokun's eyes were unfathomable.
Leaning back in his chair, he exuded a dangerous aura, his tone almost mocking.
"She is the only heir to Shenyin, whom I raised single-handedly."
“She didn’t hesitate to plot to kill me, and she also stubbornly wanted freedom, which I gave her.”
"Now that the game is over, of course, we need to go back to square one."
