Chapter 11

The one-way road restricts the vehicles from making U-turns, as well as the distance! If a vehicle is traveling at high speed, and an accident occurs in front, the vehicles following must switch lanes and turn around in the opposite direction!

The sudden rollover of the second car forced the two cars closely behind to hastily turn around. However, Xiao Sheng, who was in a parallel position, would not let them have their way. He sharply turned the steering wheel to the right. The Mercedes-Benz, which was between the two cars, quickly shifted diagonally. The rear tires touched the rear of the third car, and the front tires touched the tires of the fourth car. The simultaneous resistance from the two cars caused the Mercedes-Benz to suddenly bounce backward. Xiao Sheng, who had slammed on the brakes, accelerated at the moment the side tires of the Mercedes-Benz touched the ground. The entire car shot through like a bullet from a gun.

But the other two cars were not so lucky. The consecutive collisions caused the drivers to completely lose control of their vehicles. With the overturned second car blocking their path, the two cars behind, swaying from side to side, crashed directly into it. Under the combined impact, the second car, with its roof on the ground, shot out like a rocket, only stopping after colliding with the barriers and streetlights at the intersection. By then, the Mercedes-Benz had already returned to the original route and circled back onto the road!

Slowly ejecting the CD, the music in the car came to an abrupt stop. Xiao Sheng turned around and saw Chen Shuyuan, who was gripping the handrail with all her might and tightly pressed against the car door. A faint smile appeared on his face as he softly said:

"Ms. Chen, you can let go now, it's fine!" Chen Shuyuan, with her large eyes wide open, couldn't believe what she had just seen. She swallowed hard, making a 'gulping' sound. When she heard Xiao Sheng's words, she released her hands as if in a state of collapse, her body slumping onto the back seat.

For a woman who had grown up in a sheltered environment, such a heart-stopping scene, which could only be seen in Hollywood blockbusters, was now a firsthand experience, and the impact was immense! Cold sweat soaked through Chen Shuyuan's entire back. Struggling to sit up straight, she looked at Xiao Sheng and said:

"Thank you..." Chen Shuyuan's words were sincere. If it weren't for Xiao Sheng's superb driving skills, another person might have been taken advantage of today. As the executive chairman of Hongcheng Star Group, Chen Shuyuan had experienced attacks during her three years in office, but compared to today's incident, those were minor. She finally understood why her father, despite her objections, had directly assigned a personal security guard to her! This arrangement was the result of his careful consideration!

Xiao Sheng gave Chen Shuyuan a reassuring smile but remained silent. He chose the right moment to keep quiet! The car was already moving quickly, but Xiao Sheng paid more attention to its stability to help Chen Shuyuan recover as soon as possible!

Xiao Sheng's subtle care gradually calmed Chen Shuyuan's inner turmoil. She sat up straight again, reflecting on the scene, feeling a lingering fear. Recalling Xiao Sheng's words before the incident, "Ms. Chen, this is for you," Chen Shuyuan's brows furrowed. She slowly raised her head, wanting to say something to Xiao Sheng but hesitated to speak.

Xiao Sheng, seeing her reaction through the rearview mirror, slightly opened the window, letting the cool breeze tousle his short hair. He directly analyzed the situation:

"Whether in politics or in the workplace, if something goes wrong, the person directly responsible often thinks about covering it up or minimizing the issue rather than reporting it to the highest leadership. They only take this step when the truth can no longer be hidden. From your phone call, I could sense some of the underlying issues. The three buildings under construction, only one of which was just starting to rise, is close to the workers' dormitories. Ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks have all arrived. Any leader with a bit of sense would smooth things over before reporting. This is quite suspicious." After hearing Xiao Sheng's analysis, Chen Shuyuan blurted out:

"Are you saying the person who called me is the mastermind?" Hearing this, Xiao Sheng chuckled lightly and replied:

"Can you think of something others can't? Perhaps none of the leaders responsible for this project are the masterminds. They might have been manipulated by someone with ulterior motives, exaggerating the facts and fanning the flames. This makes them feel the urgency of the situation, leading them to contact you first. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, for your reference. I will get involved in this matter. After all, you are my employer, and I have a duty to help you eliminate any threats to your life. This is my job."

Xiao Sheng's words, lacking his usual lightheartedness and filled with genuine concern, made Chen Shuyuan smile inwardly. She responded solemnly:

"Thank you, no matter what, I must thank you!" This was the second time Chen Shuyuan had said "thank you" today. For a woman who rarely showed her true feelings, Xiao Sheng's approach was indeed impressive!

"By the way, Ms. Chen, I have a question, and I need a straightforward answer." Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan's brows furrowed slightly but she still replied:

"Go ahead..."

"About the car, if it's damaged like this, will the repair costs be deducted from my commission? If that's the case, I could work for a whole year and still not cover the cost. A high-end imported German car can cost over a hundred thousand for a major repair!"

Xiao Sheng's words made Chen Shuyuan smile. She propped her chin with her fingers, her head slightly lowered, even in laughter, she remained reserved.

"Don't worry, the car is fully insured, the insurance company will cover it."

"Our car? Ms. Chen, your words are very insightful, I like them very much." Chen Shuyuan, realizing Xiao Sheng's playful nature, deliberately turned cold and didn't respond, but it was clear that after this incident, she was no longer as resistant to him. Rarely having such a relaxed conversation with a man, Chen Shuyuan momentarily forgot the danger. Looking out at the night view of Hongcheng, she sighed, feeling a mix of fatigue and relief. Perhaps the greatest gain of the night was a sense of comfort.

Following the route given by Chen Shuyuan, Xiao Sheng quickly arrived at the construction site in the western part of the city. The scene was chaotic, with shouts and sirens mingling together. As soon as they got out of the car, they heard a woman, who had just been rescued, screaming:

"My child, my child..."
