Chapter 64: Ambushed

This woman is so fucking alluring!

A hungry glint flashed across Dongfang She's eyes. The tip of his tongue grazed his lower lip as he flashed a captivating, bewitching smile. "Something the matter?"

Holding the jar of strawberry jam, Yu Jin was left standing in a daze. Good grief, she had been talking for ages, and he hadn't listened to a single word?!

"Auntie is asking whether you want strawberry jam or salad dressing," Fire explained with elegant nonchalance while drinking his milk.

Without even raising his head as he bit into his toast, Dongfang She replied, "Ketchup."

Fire: "..."

Yu Jin: "..."

After breakfast, Yu Jin had already changed into her professional attire. Dongfang She had already sent people to move all her clothes and daily necessities over to his place, which saved her the trouble of going back to change.

Dongfang She dropped Fire off at school, while Yu Jin took a taxi to the company.

"Assistant Yu, this document is marked urgent. As soon as the President arrives, have him look at it right away." Qin Ye handed over a file, and Yu Jin nodded.

Before long, Dongfang She arrived. He was as dazzling and flamboyant as ever, with his striking red hair and green eyes, exuding aristocratic dominance in his every movement and gesture.

"President, this is an urgent document." Yu Jin handed over the file Qin Ye had given her. Dongfang She raised an eyebrow, took it, glanced through it, and signed his name.

"Come with me to Huaiyuan Corporation later." Dongfang She didn't even lift his head.

Because she had been feeling unwell yesterday and had declined to go out on field assignments, Yu Jin naturally agreed readily now that she felt much better.

"Understood, President!" She flashed a standard eight-toothed smile. The moment Dongfang She looked up, he felt the sunlight today was blindingly dazzling, so glaring it made his head ache.

Ah, so close yet so untouchable, the agony of it all!

...

The extended limousine drove forward smoothly. The sound of the tires grinding against the pavement drew closer and closer, startling the birds resting in the woods into chaotic flight.

In the distance, the sky suddenly seemed to darken, and the mournful cawing of crows drifted into their ears.

Yu Jin sat inside the car with her eyes closed, Dongfang She seated right beside her. Her heart pounded heavily, a persistent premonition whispering that something was about to happen, and a thin layer of sweat slicked her palms.

Suddenly...

With a sharp screech, the limousine slammed on the emergency brakes. The tires ground against the asphalt, emitting a piercing shriek. Inertia threw Yu Jin forward, and she would have been hurled out of her seat had Dongfang She not reacted with lightning speed and caught her firmly in his arms.

"What's going on?" Dongfang She frowned in displeasure.

Qin Ye, who was driving, widened his eyes in alarm. "Boss, we've got trouble!"

Dongfang She tilted his head slightly to check the rearview mirror. A black car had somehow blocked their path from behind. He narrowed his eyes and looked ahead to see another vehicle barreling toward them at high speed.

"Turn right!"

At Qin Ye's command, his hands spun the steering wheel with practiced grace and his foot slammed onto the accelerator. The car instantly veered in a new direction, narrowly dodging the oncoming vehicle by a hair's breadth.

"Damn it! That's a narrow alley up ahead! A dead end!"

Huaiyuan Corporation was located in the northern part of the city, and traveling there from AIR indeed required passing through a stretch of backstreets. They never expected to walk right into an ambush.

Dongfang She narrowed his eyes dangerously. Who on earth had the audacity to make a move against him at a time like this?

He had long since made his identity known, ruling supreme over both the underworld and the upper echelons. No one should dare cross him, not to mention that the influence of the Dragon Gate in his hands was not to be underestimated.

Another screech of harsh brakes shattered the air. Two black cars charged out from both the left and right ends of the alley, trapping their limousine squarely in the middle.

Qin Ye cursed under his breath, shifted into reverse, and whipped the steering wheel hard in the opposite direction, attempting to ram his way out through the gap.

*Bang!*

With a deafening crash, the rear bumper slammed directly into the car behind them. The sheer force of the impact brought the limousine to an abrupt and shuddering halt.

"It looks like these bastards are ready to throw away their lives!"
