Could it be that someone is aiming to strike at Wanyan Company first, and by extension, target Bai Yan?
But why did the secretary say that Li Xiaoman was being harassed? Knowing the difference between being harassed and being targeted for harm are two completely different things!
Besides, Li Xiaoman is clearly protected by Wanyan Company’s security forces! How could anything happen to her so easily!
Yet, the reality of the situation no longer allowed Bai Yan the luxury of contemplation!
Bai Yan frowned, his voice low as he demanded.
"Alice Hotel! The Water Pavilion private room on the fourth floor!"
The female secretary promptly responded.
"Keep Xiaoman safe! I’ll be right there!"
Bai Yan spoke in a cold voice, hung up the phone, grabbed his coat, and silently left his villa.
Bai Yan had been to Alice Hotel before and was very familiar with the routes there.
The Lamborghini let out a deep growl, the engine ignited, and the black supercar pierced into the night like a sharp sword.
Who exactly had gone after Li Xiaoman! An Abnormal? Or an ordinary person? Could it be that the elders from the Zhang or Ma Family had begun to disregard Master Blood Dragon’s rules and gone directly after the woman by Bai Yan’s side?
On his way there, Bai Yan wished he could calm down and analyze the situation.
But he simply couldn’t focus his thoughts; right now, Bai Yan wished he could appear at Alice Hotel instantly!
The location of Alice Hotel required passing through a busy main street in the downtown area, where vehicles were plentiful and traffic jams frequent.
The black Lamborghini, like a giant beast sprinting, maneuvered agilely through the traffic, seemingly entering an unoccupied space, its speed approaching 200 mph!
"My God, is this some sort of stunt driving? Whose car is this?!"
"F***! You dare to drive so fast in a downtown area!"
"You even dare to run a red light? Just wait to be caught by the traffic police!"
A mix of curses and envious voices were all left behind by the Lamborghini as it roared past, leaving a trail of dust for the other drivers.
Sorry, I don’t have time to wait for red lights!
Bai Yan gripped the steering wheel tightly, the accelerator floored.
The downtown area enforcers also noticed the Lamborghini driving like a madman, each of them pulling out their walkie-talkies to report to their superiors.
"Captain, a black Lamborghini sports car has appeared on Changyun Avenue, nearing speeds of 200 mph, and has run through eight red lights already!"
"What! Ran through eight red lights! Damn it, daring to play in my jurisdiction, as if I don’t exist! What’s the license plate number? Any accidents caused?"
"The driver seems to be an expert; no traffic accidents so far, but it has caused some disturbance! The license plate is ZH4444, Captain, should we dispatch someone to stop them right away?"
"Dispatch someone to arrest... hold on! Did you say the license plate is ZH4444?"
"This... this is a special license plate, I’d better consult with the higher-ups first, let’s not rush to deploy the team."
"But Captain, there’s no time for consultation, it’s about to leave Changyun Avenue, it’s moving too fast! We should hurry to block it!"
"Are you clueless? This is a special license plate authorized specifically by Beijing, it’s Wanyan Company’s official vehicle, the only one in the whole of ZH... No! The whole country! You’re telling me to arrest him? Do I have the power to do that?"
"Monitor it! As long as there’s no accident, let it be! I’m going to consult the higher-ups!"
At this moment, Bai Yan had no idea that his license plate could make the police in ZH City so nervous; all he wanted was to hurry to Alice Hotel!
Under Bai Yan’s speeding rush, the Alice Hotel came into view quickly.
Bai Yan abruptly hit the brakes, and the tires of the Lamborghini screeched fiercely against the pavement.
With an extremely arrogant drifting maneuver, the Lamborghini came to a steady stop at the hotel’s entrance amidst the shocked and envious gazes of the onlookers.
Bai Yan got out of the car with a grim expression on his face.
"Sir, please park your vehicle in the parking lot. Leaving it at the entrance will obstruct other guests."
A waiter approached and said politely.
Bai Yan didn’t even glance at him and strode straight toward the hotel doors.
He was in a rush and had no time to park!
The waiter’s brow furrowed, and several hotel security guards quickly surrounded Bai Yan. These burly guards glared at Bai Yan menacingly, as if they were ready to resort to force if he refused to park.
Bai Yan lifted his head and swept a cold gaze over the group of security guards and the waiter. The sinister aura of a fourth-level demon, the Abyssal Cerberus, flashed over him for a moment.
These ordinary people couldn’t withstand the demonic Qi around Bai Yan; they turned pale as if falling into an icy abyss, shaking and unable to utter a word.
They could only watch helplessly as Bai Yan brushed past them and stepped boldly into the hotel.
On the fourth floor of the hotel, in the "Water Pavilion" private room, an expensive banquet was almost finished, the table a mess, as several high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals incessantly urged a stunningly beautiful woman with flushed cheeks to drink.
"Mr. Li, you still owe us three drinks!"
"Yeah, Mr. Li, please finish these three drinks!"
The men, with ill intentions, crowded around Li Xiaoman, persistently urging her to drink. Secretary Xu, Li Xiaoman’s secretary, firmly stood by her side, fending off the drinks for her, but alas, she was just a girl; it was hard for her to resist these seasoned drinkers.
"Mr. Chen, I really can’t drink any more!"
Li Xiaoman, supporting her smooth, pale forehead with slightly squinting eyes, said with effort, "Look how late it’s getting. Why don’t we wrap things up? Regarding the customs import issue of Wanyan Company, I hope Mr. Chen can lend a hand; our goods are genuinely without issues!"
"Ah, what do you mean, Mr. Li? We agreed today, no business talk!"
Mr. Chen was a middle-aged man in his forties with a beer belly, feigning nonchalance as he spoke with a smile, but his small eyes greedily scanned Li Xiaoman’s slightly intoxicated face and delicate figure.
What a premium woman this is! Both in looks and figure, she’s top-notch!
If it weren’t for Wanyan Company’s recent intent to step into the seafood procurement project, he, a small group head with some connections to customs, would have never been able to exploit Wanyan Company’s vulnerability, let alone have the chance to dine with a superior woman like Li Xiaoman!
"Right, Mr. Li, such a delightful evening is really not suitable for discussing business matters. Let’s have a few more drinks instead!"
Mr. Chen was accompanied by a few middle-aged men, friends of his with contacts in customs. Li Xiaoman had invited these individuals to dinner today solely to discuss and resolve the issue of Wanyan Company’s detained customs goods.
Unexpectedly, as the night went by, the issue remained unsolved, but plenty of drinks had been poured.
"Mr. Li really can’t drink any more!"
Secretary Xu’s pretty face showed an urgent expression; Bai Yan was about to arrive, and if he saw the scene of Li Xiaoman being forced to drink, who knows whether he would fly into a rage and cause a massacre!
"Ah, you little girl, you really don’t know what’s good for you! Is it your place to say whether Mr. Li can drink or not? Move aside!"
Someone began to scold Secretary Xu.
There were already people secretly pulling Secretary Xu’s arm, trying to drag her away from Li Xiaoman’s side. Secretary Xu’s face flushed red as she prayed silently in her heart.
Bai Yan, where are you? Please come quickly!
