Chapter 481: Modified: Chapter 491 Explosive News
The reputation of Leng’s CEO is too prominent. Ever since that tragedy four years ago, there hadn’t been any scandal with any woman, not even the slightest hint of ambiguity with anyone. Now, a sensational piece of news has suddenly emerged, and the whole nation exploded instantly. The news was only out for a few hours, and there were already over a hundred thousand comments below. Shi Yi still foolishly checked the comments under the news.
"What kind of CEO is this? She has a vixen’s face, obviously climbed up by relying on men."
"That slender waist, that figure, tsk tsk tsk... A seductress indeed. If I could sleep with her for one night, it’d be worth it even if I died."
"This society truly does judge by appearances. Being good-looking makes a big difference. Not only does she have money, but she can even be a CEO. Signing contracts and whatnot, it doesn’t require skills. Just showing her face would mesmerize everyone, and signing contracts to make money would come easily."
"She must have slept with many people, climbing her way up like that."
...
Shi Yi stared at the sharp and acerbic comments, almost grinding her teeth to pieces.
What do these people know? Do they understand how much effort she has put in to sit in her current position?
They don’t know, they know nothing!
Shi Yi kept taking deep breaths, telling herself that these are just online trolls whose words don’t matter. Besides, she was going back to the United States tomorrow. Although these gossips are well-known domestically, in the United States, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Thinking this way, her mood somewhat improved.
But just as she finished her self-talk, another call came in. This time, the phone screen displayed "Demon."
Seeing the caller ID, Shi Yi’s face darkened. At this time, what did Feng Chengyu want from her? It definitely wouldn’t be anything good.
Demon was a nickname Shi Yi had given Feng Chengyu. That man gave her the impression of a demon walking out from Hell: cold-hearted, cruel, and bloodthirsty. Even though they had met once and talked several times over these four years, her impression of him hadn’t changed.
She still remembered the last phone call where this man had asked her to attack the California prison’s defense system. So what did he want her to do this time?
"Hello?" Seeing no response from the other end for a long time, Shi Yi frowned and tried asking again, "Hello?"
Her response remained silence. Just when she was about to run out of patience and hang up, a cold and low male voice came through the phone, "I’m in T City."
Feng Chengyu has returned to T City? But what does it have to do with her?
Shi Yi was puzzled, "Mr. Feng, may I ask if you need anything from me?"
"There’s a driver waiting outside the Hilton. Come down."
...
Shi Yi felt a bit speechless. Can this guy be any simpler in his speech? Would it kill him to explain clearly?
Luckily, she could roughly understand what he meant, so she changed her clothes and went straight downstairs. Sure enough, she saw a black stretched Lincoln at the hotel entrance.
Now Shi Yi roughly understood his intention. Since he specifically sent a driver to pick her up, there must be something urgent to personally explain to her.
However, what she hadn’t expected was that upon opening the car door, Feng Chengyu was actually inside. Shi Yi was stunned; she truly hadn’t anticipated this. Feng Chengyu had only said he was in T City and sent a driver over, but hadn’t mentioned he’d come personally.
His personal appearance was genuinely unexpected and made Shi Yi feel more uneasy.
Standing by the door and holding onto the car, Shi Yi stood still for a while, not knowing what to do. Feng Chengyu was sitting in the backseat, and she absolutely didn’t want to sit with him, but closing the door and going to the front passenger seat would seem too strange.
While Shi Yi was hesitating, the man in the backseat impatiently frowned, and his icy gaze swept over her, "Get in!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi’s body cringed involuntarily. This was a residual effect from their first meeting, causing her to always harbor fear towards this man.
So, she swallowed and silently slipped into the backseat. Throughout the journey, she clung to the car window, trying to stay as far away from Feng Chengyu as possible, with her eyes fixed outside.
She found it hard to deal with the dark aura surrounding this man. It felt suffocating considering she was the Lei Man CEO and yet so pathetic in front of him.
The man’s cold gaze swept over the back of her head. Without saying another word, he leaned back on the leather seat, closing his eyes as if very tired.
After staring outside for a long time, Shi Yi belatedly remembered that she was here for an urgent matter. But when she turned back, she found the man had closed his eyes, seemingly asleep.
This...
Shi Yi deliberately cleared her throat, intending to wake him up to ask why he had called her. Despite coughing several times, the man seemed not to react.
Now Shi Yi was completely at a loss. She couldn’t possibly shake Feng Chengyu awake, as she didn’t have the courage for that yet. She feared that if she angered this man, she might be thrown out to feed the dogs.
Just at that moment, the silent driver suddenly spoke up, "Boss, we’ve been followed."
Followed? What does it mean to be followed?
Shi Yi was puzzled. She instinctively glanced at the right side mirror and found that behind them were three black SUVs following closely. Now she understood what the driver meant.
So, who are these followers? What are their intentions?
Shi Yi turned her gaze to Feng Chengyu, noticing that at some point, he had already opened his eyes, sharp as a knife, showing no trace of sleepiness. It wasn’t hard to guess that he had heard her coughing but chose to ignore her.
Realizing this, Shi Yi felt a little annoyed.
However, her annoyance was quickly replaced by tension because in a matter of moments, the cars initially behind them had already moved to surround them, trapping their black Lincoln.
Even someone as inexperienced as Shi Yi could tell that the situation didn’t look good. Clearly, the other party was targeting Feng Chengyu and they didn’t seem friendly.
Sure enough, Shi Yi’s guess was confirmed in the next moment as a sudden collision shook the entire car.
Following the fierce impact, the black Lincoln quickly veered off its original path, tires screeching and sparks flying. Because of the high speed, Shi Yi’s body was jolted from her seat, lunging straight toward the man beside her.
