You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

The flames greedily coated the thin photographic paper.

The edges of the photo quickly curled up and turned black.

Less than three seconds.

Chen Yuan's cold and profound face turned to ashes in the firelight.

Only a few dark red sparks remained, flickering uncertainly in the ashes.

Shen Tiancheng's cold laughter echoed in the chilly cold storage, carrying a chilling aura of death.

Genting Manor, main hall.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was blocked by thick, dark clouds, and the sky was somewhat gloomy.

Chen Yuan just brought out a bowl of stewed rock sugar pears from the kitchen.

The lid of the porcelain bowl was still emitting wisps of steam.

The antique-style mahogany landline phone in the corner of the hall suddenly rang urgently.

The shrill sound of a bell shattered the afternoon tranquility of the manor.

Uncle Fu jogged over and answered the phone.

After listening to just two sentences, the old butler dropped the telephone receiver to the ground with a "thud".

It hit the marble floor tiles with a crisp clanging sound.

"Grandpa...Grandpa suffered a sudden acute heart failure and has been taken to the emergency room!"

Uncle Fu's voice shattered, filled with barely concealed sobs.

His hands, covered in age spots, trembled uncontrollably.

The stairwell on the second floor.

Shen Wanzhou was wearing a beige knitted cardigan when she heard those words.

Her steps suddenly froze.

His face drained of all color in an instant, turning as white as a sheet of paper.

Fingertips gripped the carved wooden handrail tightly.

His breathing became short and disordered.

Even during the most isolated period of the past six months, her grandfather was her only concern in this world.

Now, the mountain that sheltered her as she grew up is about to collapse.

"I need to go to the hospital."

Shen Wanzhou's voice was soft, yet it conveyed a sense of resolute determination, as if she were making a desperate gamble.

She didn't hide back in her room, nor did she cover her ears and tremble.

Instead, he loosened his grip on the handrail and walked down the stairs step by step.

For someone with severe social anxiety, stepping out of this safe haven is a huge blow.

It was tantamount to peeling off a layer of her skin.

Chen Yuan did not speak up to dissuade him.

He placed the porcelain cup in his hand on the coffee table.

He picked up the black trench coat draped over the back of the sofa with his large, well-defined hands.

"Eagle, bring out that Bulletproof Knight from the garage."

Chen Yuan's voice was steady and powerful, like a pillar of strength.

"Take two escort vehicles, one in front and one behind, and go to the hospital."

The eagle obeyed the order and strode towards the underground parking garage.

Ten minutes later.

A black SUV, heavily modified with military-grade features, drove out of the gates of Cloud Top Manor.

Chen Yuan himself sat in the driver's seat.

His hands gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force he exerted.

Shen Wanzhou sat in the passenger seat.

Her hands were tightly clenched in front of her body, the seatbelt tightening around her slender frame.

The scenery outside the window rushed past, turning into blurry afterimages.

The trees along the mountain road were bent and twisted by the mountain wind.

The oppressive dark clouds gathered thicker and thicker, and the sky darkened like dusk.

"Don't be afraid, old man, you are a lucky man and heaven will always protect you."

Chen Yuanteng extended his right hand.

His broad, warm palms tightly enveloped Shen Wanzhou's cold, trembling little hands.

A continuous stream of heat is transmitted through your fingertips.

Shen Wanzhou bit her pale lower lip and nodded forcefully.

The convoy entered the most treacherous section of the mountain road.

This place is known locally as the "Death Bend".

On one side is a steep cliff, and on the other side is a bottomless precipice.

The bottom of the cliff is full of jagged rocks and rushing river water.

The road is only wide enough for two vehicles to barely pass each other.

Chen Yuan's gaze swept across the rearview mirror.

A crisis intuition honed through years of immersing oneself in the dead on the dark web.

It sent a sudden chill down his spine.

The bodyguard vehicle that was originally following closely behind.

I don't know when, but a heavy dump truck without license plates forced me to stop behind a bend.

The front of the dump truck was covered with dents from the impact.

It was like a steel behemoth that had lost its mind.

It sped towards Chen Yuan's car like a madman.

Hold on tight to the handrail!

Chen Yuan gave a low shout and swiftly withdrew his hand from Shen Wanzhou's.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.

He slammed his right foot down on the accelerator.

The V12 engine roared with a deafening, ferocious sound.

The SUV, like an enraged black panther, accelerated and surged forward in an instant.

Shen Wanzhou gasped in fright.

He gripped the safety handles on the roof tightly with both hands.

The fingernails were almost embedded in the plastic.

Just as Chen Yuan accelerated.

At the sharp bend ahead, in that blind spot.

Rumble!

Another heavy dump truck, fully loaded with sand and gravel, came rushing out from behind the bend in the wrong direction.

The two blinding high beams looked like the eyes of a demon.

It swayed directly against Chen Yuan's windshield.

There were obstacles blocking their way ahead and pursuers behind.

To the right is a mountain wall, and to the left is a bottomless abyss.

This was a meticulously planned trap that was destined to lead to certain death.

In the driver's seat of the dump truck, the Black Dragon Society assassin revealed a cruel, sinister smile.

Press the accelerator pedal all the way down.

The massive vehicle, carrying the kinetic energy to crush everything in its path, slammed into us.

Two steel monsters, each weighing over ten tons.

They were trying to squeeze this SUV into a flat disc, like a sandwich.

Then push him off the cliff.

"Close your eyes!"

Chen Yuan's voice showed no sign of panic.

Calm as a perfectly functioning killing machine.

Shen Wanzhou obediently closed her eyes tightly and buried her head in her knees.

There were only three seconds left before the collision.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

Ten meters!

A terrifying glint flashed in Chen Yuan's dark eyes.

He slammed on the brakes with his left foot.

At the same time, he slammed his right foot down on the accelerator.

He slammed the steering wheel all the way to the left at a speed that defied the limits of human skeletal strength.

"squeak--!"

The ear-piercing sound of rubber rubbing echoed throughout the valley.

The tire left four charred marks on the asphalt road.

Thick white smoke and a pungent, burnt smell were emitted.

The heavy body of the off-road vehicle, under tremendous inertia.

He pulled off an incredible 90-degree drift on the narrow road.

The front of the truck narrowly missed the bumper of the dump truck in front of it.

It sent up a trail of blinding sparks.

The SUV was positioned between the two dump trucks.

Just one tenth of a second before the dump truck behind was about to crash into the side door of the SUV.

Chen Yuan abruptly straightened the steering wheel.

floor the gas pedal.

The four wheels of the off-road vehicle simultaneously unleashed terrifying grip.

It's like a cannonball fired from a gun.

The railing was less than ten centimeters from the edge of the cliff.

It managed to squeeze through the gap between two dump trucks.

boom--! ! !

A deafening clang of steel clashing echoed behind us.

The shock caused the birds in the valley to flutter and fly around in disarray.

Two dump trucks that couldn't stop speeding.

The off-road vehicle was lost as a buffer.

They collided head-on.

The enormous impact caused the front of both cars to instantly dent and collapse.

Glass shards flew everywhere like bullets.

The dump truck ahead is going the wrong way.

With its immense kinetic energy, it crashed directly into and shattered the concrete guardrail at the edge of the road.

The massive vehicle lost its center of gravity.

It was rolling and roaring.

It plunged straight into the bottomless abyss.

Boom!

Ten seconds later.

A muffled explosion came from the bottom of the cliff.

A huge, orange-red fireball rose into the air.

Thick black smoke shot straight into the sky.

Chen Yuan didn't let go of the accelerator.

The off-road vehicle steadily returned to normal on the winding mountain road.

We continued speeding towards the city center hospital.

He didn't even glance back at the truck that had plunged off the cliff.

Shen Wanzhou's face turned deathly pale.

He slowly opened his eyes, panting heavily.

His chest heaved violently, and cold sweat soaked the back of his knitted sweater.

Chen Yuan freed his right hand.

He gently placed it on the girl's still trembling knees.

The comforting warmth traveled through my palm.

Chen Yuan gripped the steering wheel with one hand, staring at the dump truck engulfed in flames in the rearview mirror. A chilling glint of malice flashed in his dark eyes: "Shen Tiancheng, you're courting death."
