Chapter 008: Was that girl just now Shiqian's young miss?

"May I ask if this is Miss Chi?"

Chi Huan's smiling face faintly dimmed, "Yes, I am."

The man in the driver's seat was in his early thirties, quite good-looking, but he seemed to have difficulty speaking fluently, struggling with a rolled tongue, "Mr. Mo... has sent me to take you home."

She furrowed her sleek brows, "Where is he?"

The driver stared at her, hesitating, but still replied, "Mr. Mo... is still at the hospital."

At the hospital... Is he still accompanying Su Yabing up to now?

Chi Huan's pretty face went cold, "Don't take me home, take me to the hospital directly."

Having said that, she forcefully closed the passenger side door, then pulled open the rear door and bent over to get into the car.

The driver, looking troubled, said, "But Miss Chi, Mr. Mo instructed me to take you home."

"If he asks you, just say I'm not feeling well and need to go to the hospital for an IV."

"Well... okay then."

Chi Huan, feeling dizzy, kept her head down, and therefore did not notice that the driver in front of her was staring intensely at her through the rearview mirror, his face bearing a sinister cold smile.

The black Lamborghini started up and gradually disappeared into the flow of traffic.

In the parking space next to where the Lamborghini had been parked was another black sedan, even more luxurious but more low-key.

A young man with a commanding presence lazily leaned against the car body, holding a cigarette between his fingers while puffing out smoke, his handsome face slightly blurred in the smoke and exuding a frivolous and wicked air.

He squinted his eyes as he watched the Lamborghini drive off, flicking the ash off his cigarette, "That girl just now, wasn't she Shiqian's Miss Chi?"

The man beside him, looking like an underling, nodded, "Yes, that's Miss Chi Huan of the Chi Family."

The smoking man took a deep drag, "Send a couple of guys to follow that car."

"Huh?" The underling looked at him incredulously, "Brother Qi, isn't that inappropriate? Miss Chi Huan is beautiful, but she is now Brother Wu's employer, and you know Brother Wu's temper—anyone who touches his people is dead. No kidnapper these days would dare to mess with Miss Chi of the Chi Family."

The smoking man looked down from his height, silently, coldly glaring at him.

The underling broke into a cold sweat, earnestly persuading, "Otherwise, just wait... After all, once Chi Huan marries Mou Xigu, Brother Wu will leave the Chi Family. Then if you make your move, it won't harm the brotherly harmony."

The man blew a ring of smoke, his thin lips uttering three words, "Not going?"

The underling made a mournful face, "Brother Qi, it's better to mess with a married woman... than to mess with Brother Wu's employer..."

The man extinguished the cigarette butt and slapped his underling's face, "If anything happens to your Brother Wu's Miss Chi, just explain it to him yourself, that your dilly-dallying caused the delay."

"What... what do you mean?"

The man glanced at him sideways, straightened his body, and spoke indifferently, "It means that there's something off about that driver."

......

Ten minutes after the car had been driving, it suddenly jolted.

Chi Huan, who had been resting with her eyes closed, jerked open her eyes and, supporting her forehead, glanced out the window unintentionally.

"Is this the way to the hospital?"

The driver checked the rearview mirror and took quite a while to respond, "Yes, Miss Chi."

Chi Huan knitted her brows and said coldly, "Turn on the navigation."

"I know the way, no need for navigation."

This was clearly not the attitude that a professional chauffeur should have.

Chi Huan also suddenly remembered that when she got into the car, both times she had opened the door herself. Chauffeurs hired by wealthy families not only had to have skillful driving but also had to be well-versed in the necessary chauffeur etiquette.

She didn't speak, her hand swiftly reached into her purse and pulled out her cellphone.

She unlocked it quickly and expertly, speed-dialed Mo Shiqian's number.

However, just as the call connected with half a ring, the car suddenly came to a sharp halt.

Caught off guard, the huge inertia threw Chi Huan forward, and although her seatbelt secured her form, the phone slipped from her hands to the floor.

She had been kidnapped at the age of seventeen, and afterward, her father had specially arranged for a personal bodyguard for her.

In the years Mo Shiqian had been by her side, no one had been able to pose any danger to her, so she hadn't felt scared in a long time.

At this moment, she felt distinctly panicked.

Before she could lift her head, the cold tip of a knife was already in zero-distance contact with the skin on her neck.

Chi Huan's hanging hand slowly clenched into a fist, forcing herself to remain calm, and forced herself to look up, "Big brother, if you're looking to kidnap, can't you just take the money without taking a life?"

The car stopped by the side of the road, not in the city center, and though there was passing traffic, it was still very quiet.

The driver had already turned around, holding a dagger pressed against the major artery in her neck.

That somewhat attractive face showed an obviously abnormal expression.

His breathing was heavy and rapid, like that of a person who couldn't control their emotions, "Are you Chi Huan?"

Hadn't he already confirmed this question?

But Chi Huan didn't say anything superfluous, she simply answered, "Yes."

"Is Mou Xigu your fiancé?"

Chi Huan was startled, then pursed her lips, "Yes."

The man's face suddenly twisted ferociously as he yelled at her, "Why didn't you keep a closer eye on your man?"

Startled by the sudden yelling, Chi Huan's mind went blank for several seconds.

The phone that had fallen on the carpet suddenly vibrated, breaking the deadly silence.

Chi Huan subconsciously looked down, the screen flickered with a name, Mo Shiqian.

The knife was pressed against her neck, so, of course, she didn't dare to bend down to pick up the phone.

The man asked coldly and hoarsely, "Who is this person calling you?"

Unsure of how to respond, Chi Huan didn't say anything for several seconds.

Out of the blue, the man asked again, "Is this a lover you've kept on the side?"

He looked vicious and cold, his eyes were like those of a predator, pressing aggressively, "Is it because you have other men outside that Mou Xigu also started to fool around, that he hooked up with my wife?"

Although she had her suspicions from the start, it was only with this statement that Chi Huan was able to confirm who the hysterical man in front of her was.

He was Su Yabing's husband, rumored to be abusive.

Chi Huan collected her thoughts and replied with a calm voice, "The person calling me is my bodyguard. I do not keep men, and Mou Xigu hasn't fooled around or hooked up with your wife, sir. You may have some misunderstandings."

Regardless of whether Mou Xigu really had anything to do with that woman, Chi Huan knew she could not provoke the man in front of her.

Otherwise, the only one who would end up injured, bleeding, or even dead was herself.

"Misunderstanding? He wouldn't let me take my wife away and even had his bodyguard guard my wife's hospital room so I couldn't see her. He has been at the hospital with my wife since the evening and is even making my wife divorce me. You're telling me this is a misunderstanding?!"

He's been with her since the evening.

Despite promising to come get her, he let his rival kidnap her.
