"Why did it take you so long to buy breakfast?"
As Yan Shouyi returned to Lin Ziqing's office, Lin Ziqing immediately questioned him.
These past few days, Yan Shouyi had been accompanying Lin Ziqing. It could be said that this was the longest period they had spent together since they met.
Lin Ziqing had quickly adapted to life with Yan Shouyi, and found herself feeling uncomfortable whenever she didn't see him.
Yan Shouyi put down the breakfast and confessed,
"I ran into Li Qing'er and we chatted for a bit."
"Li Qing'er?" Lin Ziqing was taken aback, then chuckled, "How dare you tell me about something like this? Aren't you afraid I'll be angry?"
"I only chatted with her briefly, I didn't do anything I needed to hide from you. Why would I hide it from you? Why would you be angry?"
As a straightforward man, Yan Shouyi possessed the necessary decorum, asking questions with a serious expression.
Lin Ziqing felt both annoyed and amused.
However, being magnanimous, she didn't truly get angry. She merely asked a few casual questions and then put Li Qing'er out of her mind.
After all, if Lin Ziqing didn't care about Luo Ning openly seducing Yan Shouyi, why would she care about Li Qing'er?
She quickly finished the breakfast Yan Shouyi brought and then returned to her work.
Meanwhile, Yan Shouyi also placed the unfinished "Corpse Stitching Technique" he had been copying yesterday back on the table.
At the same time, Yan Shouyi frequently observed the dark aura between Lin Ziqing's brows.
The darker the aura became, the closer Lin Ziqing's imminent disaster was.
In the evening, Jiang Yunying delivered a document to the office.
Seeing Lin Ziqing still engrossed in her work and Yan Shouyi deep in thought, she did not disturb them and quietly left the office.
At that moment, Liu Quan sent a text message: "Have you made up your mind?"
Jiang Yunying held her phone, deliberating.
Finally, she replied, "What are your plans?"
Time flew by.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye.
Today was the day of the press conference.
It was scheduled for six in the evening, at the conference hall of the Rich Hotel, two blocks away from the company.
A large number of reporters had been waiting for a long time.
Lin Ziqing had changed her clothes, ready to report her achievements of the recent period to the society.
Then, she would smoothly take over several companies of the Lin family.
Looking at Lin Ziqing, who was different from her usual self, Yan Shouyi felt quite proud.
"Let's go." Lin Ziqing took Yan Shouyi's arm.
Jiang Yunying had been waiting outside the office for a long time. "Ziqing, the car is waiting downstairs for you."
Lin Ziqing nodded and went downstairs with Jiang Yunying and some key company personnel.
Downstairs, Liu Quan was also respectfully waiting, personally escorting Lin Ziqing to the car.
Originally, Lin Ziqing had planned to ride in the same car as Yan Shouyi, but Yan Shouyi declined. He decided to take a separate car so he could ensure Lin Ziqing's safety at all times.
The car carrying Lin Ziqing set off, with Yan Shouyi following closely behind.
Jiang Yunying also got into Liu Quan's car.
"Is everything ready?" Jiang Yunying asked.
Liu Quan nodded with a sinister smile. "It's foolproof. Lin Ziqing is doomed this time!"
Looking at Lin Ziqing's car ahead, a trace of hesitation flickered across Jiang Yunying's face.
After so many years of their relationship, Jiang Yunying did care to some extent.
But as things stood, for her own safety, Jiang Yunying had to betray Lin Ziqing.
"Once Lin Ziqing is dead, Lin Fan can take the opportunity to seize control of the Lin family's power. As the saying goes, one man's ascent lifts his followers to glory. We will also enjoy wealth and status. What's there to be unhappy about? Hahaha!"
Liu Quan laughed arrogantly and casually placed his arm on Jiang Yunying's shoulder.
Jiang Yunying glared at Liu Quan and slapped his hand away.
Liu Quan retracted his hand awkwardly, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Bitch, once Lin Ziqing is dead, you'll be the next one dealt with!
Stop acting so coy!
In Yan Shouyi's car.
His brow was furrowed almost into a knot.
Lin Ziqing's dark aura was getting stronger and stronger.
He absolutely would not let anything happen to Lin Ziqing.
The convoy moved slowly. At this time of day, traffic in Rongcheng was notoriously bad.
"Yan Gui, are you sure they are definitely going to attack Ziqing?" Yan Shouyi asked, holding the Yin wood in his hand.
Yan Gui's voice responded, "Confirmed. At the intersection ahead, two trucks will lose control and sandwich Sister-in-law's car from both sides!"
This was a clear intention to leave Lin Ziqing no chance to survive.
Yan Shouyi glanced in the rearview mirror at Jiang Yunying and Liu Quan following behind.
Their faces held a faint hint of anticipation.
The next intersection.
Red light.
All the vehicles stopped at the intersection.
Yan Shouyi's nerves were on edge.
This was the intersection where two trucks could appear at any moment!
Just then.
Yan Shouyi received a text message.
Xue Kai: Are you planning to kill someone?
Yan Shouyi frowned.
This persistent Xue Kai seemed to have followed them here too.
He continued to ignore Xue Kai, but Xue Kai did not give up.
Xue Kai: I know Lin Ziqing is very important to you, but if you kill someone for her, all the good deeds you have done in the past will vanish into thin air.
Merit?
Yes, Yan Shouyi owed a great deal of karma in his previous life, leading to his current life's impending doom.
That's why his grandfather told him to do more good deeds.
But for Lin Ziqing, Yan Shouyi didn't care.
He wasn't blinded by love.
If it were Lin Ziqing, she would also hesitate to sacrifice everything for him without a second thought.
At this moment.
The intersections on the left and right sides indeed showed large trucks.
The drivers' eyes were hazy, yet filled with a sense of resolve.
Their eyes were fixed on Lin Ziqing's car!
They were coming for Lin Ziqing!
Yan Shouyi took a deep breath, preparing to act.
If Liu Quan and the others wanted to stage a car accident, then he would naturally turn it around and make these two trucks deal with Liu Quan and his group themselves.
This was Yan Shouyi's plan!
However, just as he was about to make his move, his phone received another text message from Xue Kai.
Xue Kai: Forget it. Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to dissuade you any further. However, when it comes to killing, you still shouldn't do it yourself— I'll handle it for you!
As Yan Shouyi finished reading the text message, the trucks on the left and right suddenly accelerated and charged forward!
Bystanders nearby jumped up in alarm.
The trucks ran the red light, their speed such that stopping was impossible!
Liu Quan's eyes were filled with increasing anticipation!
Yan Shouyi's pupils contracted.
He saw, behind the drivers of the two trucks, a ghostly figure standing!
"Crash her! Crash her!" Liu Quan chanted excitedly.
Just as the trucks were about to crush Lin Ziqing's car into a pancake, both drivers sharply turned the steering wheel!
The two trucks instantly swerved around Lin Ziqing's car and narrowly passed by Yan Shouyi's car.
Then.
With a loud bang.
The two trucks, loaded with sand and gravel, slammed directly onto Liu Quan's car!
The weight of over ten tons instantly crushed Liu Quan's car into a pulp.
The sand and gravel poured out, directly burying Liu Quan and Jiang Yunying!
The trucks emitted a burst of white smoke.
The surrounding pedestrians screamed in terror.
Lin Ziqing and Yan Shouyi got out of their cars simultaneously.
"Sister Yunying..."
Lin Ziqing covered her mouth, staring at the scene in disbelief.
Although she knew Jiang Yunying had ill intentions towards her, she had never intended to bring about Jiang Yunying's death.
Yan Shouyi slowly moved to Lin Ziqing's side and said in a deep voice, "It wasn't me."
"Who did it?"
"That guy named Xue Kai."
Yan Shouyi looked around.
He saw, in a hidden alleyway, a tall and thin man in a hoodie smiling and waving at Yan Shouyi.
This person was Xue Kai!
