The director unleashed a tirade in his mind while keeping a polite smile on his face.
âWe have alerted the traffic police to investigate. The results will be out soon, please be patient.â
Dongfang Yu and Tao Yi sat in front of him, neither of them spoke to each other from beginning to end.
They both carried an equally powerful aura, clashing with one another!
It was clear that there was bad blood between them.
The director cleverly rose from his seat, âPlease wait here, I need to step out for a moment to deal with some matters.â
âThankyou for your assistance, director,â Tao Yi smiled politely.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo need for thanks, no need for thanks,â the director replied with a smile and on his way out, kindly closed the door behind him.
As soon as he left, one of his subordinates approached him, âDirector, weâve got the surveillance footage, it shows that the car from behind intentionally rear-ended theirs!â
âShhâ¦â the director quickly motioned for the subordinate to lower his voice, fearful that the people inside might overhear, âLetâs just keep the results for now. If asked, just say we havenât figured it out yet.â
âWhy?â the junior cop asked, puzzled.
The director sighed: âBecause we canât afford to offend anyone inside. Let them handle this minor problem on their own.â
He had no intentions of helping them!
Back in the office, once the director left, Tao Yi turned to look at Dongfang Yu.
With a faintly sarcastic smile on his face, he said, âDongfang Yu, after so many years, you havenât changed a bit. Still as narrow-minded.â
Dongfang Yu retorted with laughter, unceremoniously counter-attacking, âFor a familiar face that I havenât seen in many years, your first words are insults. Makes me wonder how great Taoâs demeanor is.â
âAs an old acquaintance, you hit my car as soon as we meet. Do you think I should be polite to you?â
âI was merely excited to see an old friend and accidentally bumped into your car. Tao, surely youâre not that petty?â
Tao Yi scoffed once more, âSo you admit it was deliberate?â
Without a change in his expression, Dongfang Yu retorted unkindly, âIâm not certain if it was intentional. Maybe it was Tao who deliberately led me to break the rules.â
Tao Yi raised an eyebrow, âIt was me leading you?â
Dongfang Yuâs gaze sharpened, âWhen you approach my wife with ill intentions, it naturally riles me up. So, in a fit of anger, I might have caused an accident.â
Before Tao Yi could respond, Hai Xiaotang unconsciously retorted, âDongfang Yu, Iâve divorced you already!â
Dongfang Yu ignored her, his gaze locked onto Tao Yi with fierce intent.
Tao Yiâs stare was equally chilling, âDid you hear that, Dongfang Yu? Sheâs already divorced you. She has nothing to do with you!â
Dongfang Yu responded with a challenging smirk, âThe relationship is deeper than you know, do you want me to explain it to you sometime?â
âDongfang Yu, I have nothing to do with you,â Xiaotang retorted again.
Dongfang Yuâs demeanor turned colder, âTao Yi, long time no see, perhaps we should find a place to catch up?â
Tao Yiâs gaze sharpened even more, âYes, itâs time for a catch-up. Iâve been longing for it for a long time.â
âIâve also been thinking of you!â
âThen letâs sort it out. Iâm no fan of dragging things along!â
Dongfang Yu responded with a gloating smirk: âSame here!â
Xiaotang stared at them in shock, she could clearly sense the explosive tension between them.
And it was the kind that had been brewing for yearsâ¦
She was completely baffled, wondering what kind of grudge or resentment existed between them in the past?
âWell then, letâs go,â Dongfang Yu stood up and Tao Yi followed suit.
As they walked towards the exit, Hai Xiaotang hurriedly asked, âWhere are you two going?!â
Dongfang Yu tilted his head and commanded Ji Chuan, âTake her home.
