In actuality, Hai Xiaotang treated him like a brother without any ulterior motives, which allowed her to be this open with him.
âHas Xiaotang ever dated anyone at school?â Tao Yi suddenly asked her.
Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, chuckling as she shook her head, âNo, I havenât.â
âWhen I came to pick you up from school, I thought a boy was courting you.â Tao Yi casually remarked.
It took a moment for Hai Xiaotang to react and recall the boy named Hao.
âI donât know him. Heâs a classmate who found me familiar and wanted to know me, but I donât know him.â
Tao Yi glanced at her, smiling faintly, âSeems like our Xiaotang is rather popular. Do you plan on having a relationship?â
Hai Xiaotang shook her head without any hesitation, âNo, Iâm not interested and I donât feel like having a relationship.â
âIs it because you havenât met anyone you like? Would you consider dating if you do?â Tao Yi continued to probe.
Hai Xiaotang continued to shake her head, unwavering, âIâm not interested in romance. I donât plan to date in this lifetime. I enjoy living alone!â
Tao Yi was taken aback, his smile vanishing and his voice deepening, âWhy?â
Was it because she was too deeply hurt or something else?
Hai Xiaotang would certainly not tell the truth, âJust because I hate datingâ¦â
âXiaotangâ¦â Just as Tao Yi was about to tell her that he already knew about her previous marriage, their car was suddenly hit from behind!
âAllâ¦â Hai Xiaotang muttered, âWhat happened?â
Tao Yi also abruptly stopped the car.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He glanced outside and said calmly, âStay here, Iâll go check it out.â
Unfastening the seat belt, Tao Yi got out of the car. Despite his words, Hai Xiaotang followed him.
Ji Chuan had already gotten out of the car. Upon seeing Tao Yi, he promptly said, âSir, your car swerved into our lane, causing us to inadvertently hit you. We must get the police to handle this matter properly.â
Tao Yi seemed to have not heard his words, his gaze dark as he locked eyes with Dongfang Yu in the car.
Hai Xiaotang was also startled to see him.
Why is Dongfang Yu here?!
Wasnât he supposed to be on a business trip?
When Ji Chuan noticed they werenât responding, he repeated his previous words.
Hai Xiaotang was instantly upset, she derisively said, âI think Dongfang Yu intentionally crashed into us!â
Ji Chuan felt guilty for a moment, seeing as the President truly did instruct him to crash into themâ¦
However he continued to brazenly lie, âMadam, this gentleman abruptly swerved into our lane. The responsibility of the accident does not lie with us! Given the high cost of the Presidentâs car, this man must provide us with an explanation!â
Tao Yi kept his gaze on Dongfang Yu in the car, smirking coldly, âSure, letâs call the police.â
This seemed to be the first peculiar case the chief of police had to deal with this year.
The case itself was simple, just a rear-end collision, with no casualties involved.
We wouldnât even need to involve the police, not even the traffic police. The insurance company should be enough to handle it.
But what complicated the issue was the identity of the two cars and their owners!
One was Dongfang Yuâs car worth millions, the other was the military vehicle of Major Tao Yi, who had just assumed his position in C Cityâs military district.
Both of them were highly significant individuals. One was a corporate baron reigning supreme in the business world, the other a promising Major with excellent military achievements.
Both were influential figures who could not be trifled with.
And yet, why would their cars mysteriously collide?
And why on earth was he the one to handle this?!
