The car drove out of the Chen family compound and passed through several bustling streets.

When driving into a road lined with tall plane trees on both sides.

Jiang Aiwei suddenly said.

"Chen Huo, I don't want to go back."

"What's wrong?"

Chen Huo looked at her, puzzled.

Jiang Aiwei hugged his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and rubbed against him like a docile kitten, saying softly:

"I'd like to show you around Beijing."

Chen Huo was speechless:

"You've never been to Beijing?"

That shouldn't be the case.

Although the Jiang family in Jiangcheng cannot compare with powerful families like the Zhao and Chen families in the capital, they are still a wealthy and influential clan. Jiang Aiwei grew up in a privileged environment and it is impossible that she has never traveled to the capital.

"Of course I've been shopping before, but that was with my best friend. Now I want to go shopping with my boyfriend, how can that be the same? Anyway, I don't have anything to do when I get back, so please come shopping with me, okay? Please."

Jiang Aiwei tilted her head, rested her chin on Chen Huo's shoulder, blinked her eyes, and said in a pitiful manner, looking as cute as could be.

How could Chen Huo refuse such a request from his beloved woman? He reached out and flicked her nose, chuckling softly as he said:

"Okay, then let's not rush back. I'll show you around."

"Yay, that's great!" Jiang Aiwei cheered and said to the driver, "Please stop the car, we need to get off here."

"Young Master Huo?"

The driver glanced at Chen Huo through the rearview mirror; this was ultimately Chen Huo's decision.

"It's quite far from the tourist attractions in Beijing. Are you planning to walk all the way?" Chen Huo looked at Jiang Aiwei, seriously doubting that she had any concept of distance.

Jiang Aiwei said with a grin:

"Why insist on going to crowded tourist attractions? If we want to go somewhere, and it's far away, why don't we take the bus? Why don't we rent a car ourselves?"

"What matters to me is not where I go or what mode of transportation I use, but who I am with and whether we have undisturbed time together."

Chen Huo suddenly realized what was happening.

He decisively told the driver, "Stop the car."

"Yes, Master Huo."

The driver slowly slowed down and pulled over. After the car came to a complete stop, Jiang Aiwei opened the car door, pulled Chen Huo out of the car impatiently, and took a deep breath of the not-so-fresh air.

"Yes, that's the feeling."

Jiang Aiwei, looking completely entranced, gazed at the plane trees lining both sides of the street and whispered:

"When I was in college in Beijing, I often fantasized about one day walking hand in hand with someone I liked down a bustling street and seeing all the prosperity of the capital."

"It's finally happened!"

Chen Huo found this somewhat amusing and exasperating. He had once harbored similar aspirations in his youth, but time had long since erased them from his memory, and he no longer had much interest in them.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Aiwei still retains a girlish heart.

He was infected by this youthful energy.

The corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

Ding!

Just then, Chen Huo's phone rang.

He took his phone out of his pocket to check the messages.

He showed a slightly surprised expression after seeing the text message.

Jiang Aiwei felt disturbed and wrinkled her nose in annoyance.

"How annoying."

"You should be happy, now you have a hundred million to squander."

Chen Huo smiled and showed the text message to Jiang Aiwei.

This is a bank transfer notification for 100 million yuan, with the note "medical consultation fee." Needless to say, someone with such a large sum of money must be from the Zhao family.

Jiang Aiwei was extremely intelligent and understood at a glance.

He sighed and said:

"Your Dr. Yama is really good at making money. If you treat one patient like this every day, you'll make 36 billion a year. It's like robbery."

Chen Huo chuckled to himself:

"How many families like the Zhao family are there in the entire capital? Besides, Zhao Yuechun is only paying such a high consultation fee because of the Chen family. Such good things don't happen every day."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you're so rich, I'm going to rip you off today!" Jiang Aiwei snorted, deliberately making a greedy expression.

"Fine, fine, kill as you please."

Chen Huo smiled and walked with Jiang Aiwei on the sidewalk, talking as they went.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the ear-piercing roar of an engine and the gasps of passersby suddenly erupted behind him.

Chen Huo reacted quickly, turned around and saw a Mercedes G-Class roaring and hurtling towards them.

"Huh? Ah!"

Jiang Aiwei's reaction was not slow at all. She just gave a puzzled "hmm" and then let out a scream. Before the front of the car hit them, Chen Huo grabbed her waist and rushed to the side to avoid it.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class almost grazed past them.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the car crashed into the sycamore tree.

The tree trunk broke, and the entire front of the car was dented and wrapped around the tree trunk, demonstrating the immense force of the impact. The airbags inside the car deployed, and billowing white smoke billowed out from the shattered windows, obscuring whether the driver was alive or dead.

"Oh my God!"

After seeing what had happened, Jiang Aiwei let out a gasp. Her heart pounded, her chest heaved, and her breathing became rapid. Her pretty face turned ashen.

If Chen Huo had reacted even slightly slower, they would all be dead today.

"It's okay, it's okay, relax."

Chen Huo smiled as he tried to calm Jiang Aiwei down, but his eyes were a little cold.

This is a street with a speed limit of 50, and the car's instantaneous speed just now definitely reached over 100. If it wasn't driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, then it was definitely aimed at him.

They wanted him dead.

Jiang Aiwei was clearly unaware of this. At this moment, she was trying her best to calm herself down, while a group of onlookers slowly gathered around her, pointing and commenting on the car.

Concerned bystanders rushed forward to check on the driver, some called the police, and others inquired whether Chen Huo and Jiang Aiwei were injured. Everyone at the scene assumed it was an accident caused by speeding.

Chen Huo felt it necessary to confirm whether someone wanted to harm him.

"You rest here for a while, I'll go check on the driver."

"Okay, go ahead."

Jiang Aiwei tried to calm herself down as she spoke.

Chen Huo nodded and walked towards the driver's seat.

After taking only two steps, a young man dressed in a Western cowboy style emerged, his face covered in blood, swaying unsteadily as if he might fall at any moment.

Pooh!

The man spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and his gaze fell on Chen Huo.

"Sorry bro, I dropped my phone. When I bent down to pick it up, I don't know why I stepped on the gas. Are you okay?"

"If you feel unwell, just say so. See a doctor if you need to, and pay compensation if you need to. I take full responsibility for today's accident. I'm not short of money, so you can rest assured."

As he spoke, he walked towards Chen Huo.

Chen Huo carefully observed his expression.

"I'm fine, I don't need compensation. I'm just curious, was this really an accident?"
