Ye Xiaofei rolled his eyes and said, “Hey, why are you angry? You’re such a big beauty lying here, and there’s no one else around. Isn’t it normal for me to have some thoughts? Besides, I didn’t do anything.”

“Shameless! Hooligan!” Fang Yunshu squeezed out these words through gritted teeth. She stood up and looked around.

Ye Xiaofei said, “This isn’t the place where the accident happened. The car has been burned into an empty frame.”

Fang Yunshu, apart from screaming a few times when the accident happened, then fainted. She didn’t know anything. She asked doubtfully, “If the car is burnt, then why are we fine?”

Ye Xiaofei said with a smile, “With me here, how could anything happen to you?”

“Humph, I’ll only have problems when you’re around,” Fang Yunshu glared at Ye Xiaofei angrily.

“You, woman, really can’t tell good and bad. The car rolled down a slope of several dozen meters just now. You didn’t get hurt at all. If I didn’t protect you, do you think you could do this?”

Fang Yunshu’s mouth twitched. She couldn’t deny this, so she changed the topic. “Where’s the driver?”

“He was burned along with the car.”

Fang Yunshu immediately became angry and asked, “Why didn’t you save him?”

Ye Xiaofei rolled his eyes and said, “Miss, how can I save him? The car caught fire as soon as it rolled over. He was already hanging by a thread when the car rolled over.”

Fang Yunshu’s mouth twitched. She looked around and walked away.

“Where are you going?” Ye Xiaofei followed and asked.

Fang Yunshu said, “Of course, I’m going back.”

Ye Xiaofei said, “Not now, we have to wait here.”

“What are you up to?” Fang Yunshu immediately took two steps back and looked at Ye Xiaofei warily.

“Someone wants to kill you, and now the employer thinks you are dead. If he knows that you are still alive, then the employer will be on guard.”

Fang Yunshu sneered, “Kill me? Using such a method? Heh heh, you overestimate me.”

Ye Xiaofei said, “There are two reasons to kill you now. One is my investigation, which led to people behind the scenes trying to kill you to silence me. That’s why I want you to tell me what happened that day.”

“Humph!” Fang Yunshu’s face was full of disdain, and the anger in her eyes was even more intense.

Ye Xiaofei felt helpless. This woman just wouldn’t talk about what happened in the past. He said, “There’s another reason. You’re now an important figure cooperating with the Nox Company. If you work with the Nox Company, your Fang Family’s strength will greatly increase. The other families don’t want your Fang Family to become stronger, and they also want to seize this opportunity for cooperation. The reasons for wanting to kill you are more than enough.”

Fang Yunshu’s expression changed. This reason was completely reasonable. As a member of a large family and an important figure in the Fang Family in the past, she was well aware of the struggles between large families.

For the sake of benefits, they would use any means.

Seeing Fang Yunshu’s expression, Ye Xiaofei knew that his analysis had convinced Fang Yunshu. He immediately said, “That’s why you’re in great danger now. Your Fang Family can’t guarantee your safety. Only by being by your side can I protect you.”

Fang Yunshu glanced at Ye Xiaofei and said, “No need.”

Ye Xiaofei said, “Why not? Let me tell you if it weren’t for me accompanying you today, do you think you would still be alive?”

“I’ll let the Fang Family’s bodyguards follow me in the future.”

“Your Fang Family’s bodyguards. Let alone whether they can protect you with their uselessness, let me tell you, can you make the Fang Family do their best to protect you?”

Before Fang Yunshu could answer, Ye Xiaofei continued, “Although you are useful to the Fang Family now, you have already affected the interests of many people. No one in your family wants your power to surpass theirs. I dare say that many people in the Fang Family would rather not cooperate with the Nox Company than let you become the head of the Fang Family. In fact, you have no real control over anything in the Fang Family. You are just an empty shell. If you want to truly control the Fang Family, you are far from it.”

Fang Yunshu’s mouth twitched, then she shook her head and said, “I don’t have to control the Fang Family. I just need to earn the respect of my family.”

“Heh, you’re too naive.” Ye Xiaofei shook his head and said, “If you think like this, you will die even sooner.”

Fang Yunshu let out a ‘humph’ and asked, “You’ve said so much. Do you have a solution?”

Ye Xiaofei said, “Yes, as long as I’m by your side, no one can hurt you. As long as I’m by your side, I’ll kill whoever dares to provoke you. I’ll help you take full control of the power of the Fang Family.”

“By my side? Heh heh…” Fang Yunshu sneered, a look of ‘I knew it’ appearing on her face.

“Hey, what’s with that expression? You must be thinking that I have some ulterior motives toward you again, right?” Ye Xiaofei rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and said, “Let me tell you, you’re overthinking. I did this because I don’t want the truth from back then to be buried with you. Also, I like Ling’er and don’t want Ling’er to lose a mother. Otherwise, do you think I have nothing to do and would pester you?”

“Is that all?” Fang Yunshu asked calmly.

Ye Xiaofei said, “This is enough.”

“Heh heh…” Fang Yunshu’s face suddenly turned cold. She gritted her teeth and said, “Then even if I die, I don’t need you to follow me.”

Ye Xiaofei felt that Fang Yunshu seemed somewhat swayed just now, but her attitude suddenly changed, which really frustrated him. “F*ck, why is she angry again?”

After that, Fang Yunshu didn’t say a word to Ye Xiaofei. Ye Xiaofei was really angry and frustrated, but he had no way to deal with this woman.

The two of them walked in silence, one after the other.

After who knows how long they had walked, Ye Xiaofei looked at the increasingly dense bushes and woods. There was not even a path left. Ye Xiaofei finally opened his mouth and said, “Hey, Fang Yunshu, I want to ask if you…Are you lost?”

Fang Yunshu stopped in her tracks, realizing that they had ended up in such a place. She had been preoccupied with her thoughts, so she hadn’t paid attention to where they were going.

“Where are we?” Fang Yunshu asked.

Ye Xiaofei rolled his eyes and said, “How would I know? You kept walking and I thought you knew where we were going. But based on my judgment, I can confirm that we have already gone deep into the mountains.”

“Ah! How did we end up here? Ah, there’s still no signal on my phone…” Fang Yunshu looked up at Ye Xiaofei and suddenly became nervous.

Ye Xiaofei grinned and said proudly, “Hehe, now that we’re in a place where nothing can be done, let’s see what you can do..”
