Luo Xiaolei instinctively covered her head as the window shattered and then the car screeched to a full halt as if a certain superhero stopped it. The next second, she heard a loud scream of pain and she knew that the voice came from the man who kidnapped her.
There was silence for one long second before Luo Xiaolei finally released the breath she was holding in. She lifted her face towards the driver's seat and her eyes widened. Another man was already there, his long arm stretched out towards Mr. Wang's neck and she could tell he was choking him just by hearing the sounds. She also saw Mr. Wang's hand dangling on the side as if it had just been broken.
Everything happened in mere seconds so it was hard for her to process what just happened. Her eyes were glued onto the man who appeared out of nowhere. He was wearing a black leather jacket and black pants. His outfit exactly looked like those bank robbers in movies and the only difference was that his face wasn't covered and he was absolutely… good looking. His skin was unusually pale, as if he had never been touched by sunlight for decades.
When he glanced at Luo Xiaolei and their eyes met, the man quickly looked down, avoiding her gaze and his grip on Mr. Wang's neck seemed to have loosened up. Mr. Wang coughed nonstop, trying to catch his breath.
Luo Xiaolei watched the man in black as he mumbled while holding something to his ear. The next moment, the car's doors all opened.
"Miss? Are you alright?!" Luo Xiaolei heard Guan Ye's voice. She looked at the man who opened the door beside her before she fumbled on her seatbelt, trying to clear her mind and get her bearings.
"Y-yes, I'm fine." She replied but Guan Ye looked at her with extreme worry.
"Miss, you're bleeding!!"
"Ah, this is just…" before Luo Xiaolei could continue Guan Ye called out for someone and another man rushed towards her. She remembered this man face. He was the doctor who came to Yu Chen's house last night.
"Miss, let us transfer you to the van. You're hurt." The doctor said but Luo Xiaolei just shook her head.
"No, I'm completely fine. This is just a small scratch." Luo Xiaolei replied and the doctor blinked as he scrutinized her.
Yu Chen's men were expecting this young lady to be crying in fear by now, considering the tense and dangerous events that she just went through. The speed of the car she was in would be enough to scare any girl to the extreme but their boss' woman didn't seem to be affected?!
The doctor was surprised to see that Luo Xiaolei didn't even look like she was shaken at all. Was she used to repressing unpleasant things?
"Okay, then, will you at least let me look at your wound." The doctor polite insisted and Luo Xiaolei could only give in.
After examining the wound above her ear, the doctor seemed to be relieved. "I'll give you first aid but you still need to have an x-ray later." He explained but before he could begin to treat Luo Xiaolei's wound, the girl moved and stepped out of the car, surprising the doctor before her.
"Please, miss, be careful. You must not stand just yet…" the doctor couldn't continue his words because Luo Xiaolei was already standing steadily as her eyes wondered around.
She could see the familiar faces of Yu Chen's men along with that mysterious man wearing the black leather jacket. She saw some men dragging the man that kidnapped her into a van.
"Miss, please have a seat and let me treat you first." The doctor's voice was gentle; almost sounding like he was pleading with her but Luo Xiaolei wasn't listening to him. She was too busy looking for someone.
"Mister, where is Yu Chen?" she finally asked, causing everyone to look at each other. Their gazes seemed strange, as if they were trying to communicate something crucial through their eyes.
"Please tell me, I want to see him." Luo Xiaolei continued asking. When no one answered, Luo Xiaolei pressed her lips tightly before looking at Yu Chen's doctor. "H-he's not here?" her voice cracked a bit.
Dr. Yang was stunned. She looked unaffected by what had happened to her but she looked like she was shocked because she thought Yu Chen was not here?
Witnessing her reaction, Dr. Yang smiled at her. "Don't worry miss, the young master is right there." Dr. Wang's gaze fell on the black car around ten meters away from them. "So don't worry about him and let us treat you first o-" Dr. Yang didn't even finish his sentence yet when suddenly, Luo Xiaolei moved and started walking towards the car.
To her surprise, she was hastily blocked by Gu Wei. "Miss, actually, boss is not coming out because he doesn't want to see you… no, no, no! I mean he doesn't want YOU to see him right now." Gu Wei was obviously in a bit of a panic but him stopping her like this with such an almost frantic expression only made Luo Xiaolei's brows knot hard.
Ignoring what Gu Wei just said, she walked passed him and continued approaching the car. Yu Chen's men now looked like they were suddenly on edge.
The words 'someone stop her!' were flashing across their eyes until another man wearing a black leather jacket blocked her again. Luo Xiaolei halted. She didn't recognize this man but he looked just like that man she saw inside the car; unusually pale, tall and really good looking. He looked like he was a mixed race. He had the feature of a beautiful actor playing as a vampire in supernatural movies. His eyes were black and emotionless but he was not intimidating, at least not to Luo Xiaolei.
"Uhm… Miss. Young master doesn't want you to see him right now." He repeated Gu Wei's statement but his voice, though it sounded monotonous, deep and polite, she could tell that he was extremely serious.
"Why?" Luo Xiaolei finally demanded but just like that other man in the black leather jacket, the man before her quickly averted his gaze away from her without answering.
Just then, Gu Wei had caught up to both of them and he immediately sidled towards her. "Miss Luo. Actually, our boss right now is in a real bad mood. We're afraid you will get scared so we're trying to stop you. Also, we know without a doubt that the boss won't like it if you saw him like that." Gu Wei explained but his explanation only made Luo Xiaolei's burning desire to see him intensify.
She stepped forward again causing Gu Wei to cry without tears. "Miss Luo, please don't. Actually, the boss has a really bad temper sometimes, if triggered and if he is angered to the extreme, he will become so damn scary. So scary that you might think he really was the real devil that came from hell, you know. We really don't want you to see him as a man with horns and tails so please don't go. He will become better after some time so for now, please treat your wound first." Gu Wei didn't stop convincing her as he walked with her towards the car. But Luo Xiaolei was unstoppable.
"Please, don't stop me. I don't care what he looks like right now. I just want to see him." She said and the moment Gu Wei saw the burning look in her eyes, he felt like a force just stopped him.
The men once again stared at each other. Worry was evident in their eyes as they watched Luo Xiaolei get close to the car, place her hand on the door handle and about to open the door.
