Chapter 551: Su Mei (1)

Seeing the driver’s adamant attitude and his refusal to listen to any words, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. As the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, she had never suffered such treatment.

At this moment, the driver in the cab eyed her with malicious intent, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth. "Beautiful lady," he said, "I have a suggestion that could cover your cab fare."

"What suggestion?"

"You don’t have any money, and you don’t have anything valuable on you to pawn. But a pretty girl like you has plenty of assets to offer, as long as you... hehe, you’re smart, you should understand what I mean."

Seeing the ferocity flicker in the driver’s eyes, she clearly understood his intent, and her pretty face instantly changed. Overwhelmed with shame and anger, she scolded, "Shameless!"

"Shameless?" The driver sneered. "It’s you who owes money in the first place; any request I make is not excessive. Luckily for us, there isn’t anyone around here, convenient for 'handling our business'." Saying so, the driver reached out toward her.

"Stop!" Startled, she quickly placed her hands in front of her chest, leaning back to avoid his harassment.

"Let me out."

While calling out, she tried to pull the door locks to leave the taxi. But the doors were locked, and no matter how hard she tried, they wouldn’t budge.

At this time, the driver was leaning closer to her, almost pressing down on her body.

Smelling the tobacco reek from him, she panicked, flailing her arms desperately trying to stop his actions.

At this moment, she deeply regretted getting into this car. She would have rather been captured by the people from the God Organization than fallen into the hands of such a vile person.

Regrettably, time cannot be rewound; at this moment, all she could do was resist by all means possible to avoid disgrace.

"Come on, beautiful, don’t be shy. It’s the modern age, no need to be bashful. Rest assured, I’ll make sure you experience unparalleled pleasure," the driver said, exhilarated.

Hiss!

In the midst of speaking, the driver grabbed her clothing and violently tore it open.

Looking at her disheveled attire, the driver could not help but swallow his saliva, his primal instincts raging, dying to overwhelm the beauty before him.

"Don’t..."

She fiercely guarded her vital parts, tears filling her pleading eyes, desperately hoping he would stop. However, the driver’s mind was already corrupted by evil thoughts, and the more she begged, the more excited he became.

As she saw his body pressing down on her, she bit her lower lip and couldn’t help but close her eyes, tears rolling slowly down her cheeks.

Clang!

Just then, a crisp sound suddenly rang out, snapping both the man and woman in the car back to reality. Looking up, they saw the car window glass had been smashed at some unobserved moment.

Before the driver could react, a large hand reached in through the broken window, grabbed the driver by the hair, and forcibly dragged him out through it.

"What are you doing? Let go, let me go!" The driver shouted loudly, clinging to that hand.

Accompanied by a scoff, the large hand swung fiercely, tossing the driver onto the ground, followed by a fierce kick to his abdomen.

Instantaneously, the driver screamed, his face turning pale as he clutched his belly, writhing in pain on the ground.

"It’s okay now, come out."

Hearing the voice beside her, she looked up to see the man outside the car window, momentarily stunned, taking quite a while to recover.

"What’s wrong, do you want me to carry you out?"

"You... how did you find me here?" she asked, full of confusion.

"Don’t ask so much for now, we need to hurry. Those people are about to catch up," Ling Chen said as he opened the car door, urging her into the adjacent Maserati.

No sooner had they driven off than several Land Rovers quickly arrived and halted next to the taxi.

Driving along the road, Ling Chen glanced at the woman beside him from the corner of his eye, his gaze filled with amazement. Noticing his subtle movements, she couldn’t help but speak, "Have you not looked enough?"

Ling Chen grinned: "If I don’t look properly now, I’m afraid I might forget what you look like later."

Hearing this, she fully understood Ling Chen’s implications, her face immediately showing a hint of embarrassment. Previously on that luxury cruise, Ling Chen had caught a glimpse of her true face. In order to prevent the disclosure of her identity, she secretly drugged the tea, inducing Ling Chen to drink it, which caused him to forget her appearance.

"We’ve known each other for a while now; isn’t it time you told me your real name?" Ling Chen asked.

"My name is Su Mei."

"So, you are Miss Su." Ling Chen nodded, finally knowing her name. When they had first met, he used 'Tea Girl' as a substitute for her name.

Su Mei curiously asked, "You still haven’t told me, how did you find me?"

"I have my ways," Ling Chen said. After he arrived in East Sea City, he had Liu Wei contact his friends in the city with a mobile phone, then Hu Fei used the phone’s location services to lock on her position. This significantly narrowed down the search area.

Moreover, when Liu Wei spoke with her over the phone, she unintentionally mentioned a taxi. Using this clue, Hu Fei utilized East Sea City’s surveillance system and quickly found the target.

It was for this reason that Ling Chen was able to arrive in time when Su Mei was in danger.

"Where are we heading now?"

"I’m taking you back to East Sea City. The people from the God Organization are still searching for you here; it’s not safe. East Sea is my turf. I’ll contact the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion later and have them meet directly in East Sea City."

Saying this, Ling Chen changed the subject and asked, "How were you attacked before? Song told me that there was a Heavenly List expert secretly protecting your safety; was he also subdued by the people of the God Organization?"

"I don’t know." Su Mei shook her head. "According to the original plan, we were going to stay in a hotel and then meet with the people from the God Organization the next day. But we ran into trouble shortly after we checked in. The hotel we stayed in was already under the control of the God Organization, from the inside out, everyone was their person. Elder Zhou and the rest didn’t realize it in advance, so we walked into an ambush. By the time we reacted, most of our people had been captured. Later, thanks to the efforts of others, I was able to escape from the hotel. I intended to contact that Heavenly List expert, but he never appeared from beginning to end; I don’t know if something happened to him."

At the end of her words, Su Mei couldn’t hide the worry in her eyes. "Elder Zhou and the others are still in the hands of the God Organization; their fates are uncertain. Ling Chen, can you help me save them?"
