by Halszka 18:35,Nov 22,2023
In a luxurious sedan.
"Mr. West, I heard from the bodyguard that you had a conflict with someone at the hospital entrance?"
"What exactly happened? Do you need my help?"
Maryjane was driving herself and tentatively asked.
Christian was startled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, just a bunch of flies, easily swatted away."
He didn't want to mention the Olson Family, nor did he wish to get entangled with them anymore.
In any case, within three days, he would reposition his mother's urn.
If Hortense and her daughter didn't apologize at his mother's grave on time, he wouldn't be polite!
"Uh-huh."
"Swatting them away is good, swatting them away is good."
Maryjane nodded to herself, swallowing back the words she was about to say.
She could tell that he had something on his mind and didn't want to share with her, making it hard for her to start her own topic.
Just as she was pondering what to do, he suddenly spoke up, "Miss Keller, if you have something to say, just say it."
Maryjane was stunned and instinctively shook her head, "No, it's nothing..."
"Miss Keller, if you don’t want to speak, then please turn around."
"This road isn't the way back to the villa."
Hah!
Hearing this, Maryjane was jolted, abruptly stopping the car.
She looked at him incredulously, full of shock.
He knew she had something to say.
And also knew that she was driving the wrong way.
Such meticulous observation was not something an ordinary person could discern.
Highly skilled in medicine.
Sharp and detailed in thought.
Her curiosity about him grew stronger.
What other impressive qualities did he have?
"It's not really a big deal."
"I just have a somewhat inconvenient request for Mr. West..."
Before she could finish, a van suddenly drove up and violently crashed into the sedan, creating a thunderous noise!
Clang!
Then, two more vans sandwiched the sedan, hitting it from left and right, causing the car to lurch and bounce around.
"What's happening?"
Maryjane was shocked, instinctively trying to restart the engine, but Christian stopped her, "Miss Keller, don't start it."
"The engine has been damaged, and the route is ruined."
"Starting it again might cause a big explosion."
Hearing this, Maryjane froze.
At this moment, several men in masks quickly descended from the vans!
They were burly, armed with various weapons, and approached the car with a menacing air.
"Since we couldn't poison Tut, we'll have to trouble Miss Keller to come with us."
"Get out of the car."
The leader was a muscular bald man, holding a large machete, scratching the car window with it, creating a grating sound.
Maryjane's face darkened as she coldly said, "You're quite bold to hijack my car."
Even though the attackers were numerous and armed, and it looked like a desperate situation.
As a corporate president, she remained quite calm.
"It's definitely not okay in broad daylight, but now in the dark, who would know it was us?"
Kevin sneered, glancing inside the car before contemptuously saying, "Besides, it's just you and this pretty boy in the car now."
"You're already like fish on my chopping board, ready to be sliced."
"Get out of the car, don't make me do it..."
His gaze shifted.
The other masked men began to shout and create a commotion, trying to intimidate her.
Maryjane tensed, instinctively pressing the window lock, retorting, "You know my whereabouts and that I'm alone."
"It seems you've been targeting me for a while."
"Tell me, who are you guys, or rather, who sent you?"
Kevin smirked, "You'll know once you come with me."
"Looks like Miss Keller doesn't want to get out voluntarily, so I'll have to do it myself."
Subsequently, he raised the machete, about to smash the window, when suddenly, with a 'click', Christian unlocked the door and stepped out first!
"Didn't expect this pretty boy to be so sensible."
Kevin was initially startled by Christian's sudden action, then started mocking, "Gave up before we even started, really a disgrace to men."
"Miss Keller, get out of the car."
"We have surrounded the area, and the network signal is disrupted by us."
"You have no choice but to surrender."
Seeing this, Maryjane's brow furrowed deeply.
She didn't expect Christian to unlock the door and get out himself, seeming to want to escape.
But in her memory, he wasn't that kind of person.
"Answer Miss Keller's question, and your lives will be spared."
"Otherwise, all of you will die!"
Just as Maryjane was unsure what to do, Christian suddenly spoke up.
He stood there, hands in his pockets, with a calm expression and an air of nonchalance.
Kevin raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at the other, "Yo, you're not old, but your words are big. You dare to threaten me?"
"I thought you were scared just now, but it turns out you want to play the hero and save the beauty. Aren't you afraid to look at your own pathetic state in the mirror?"
"Bang!"
Before he could finish, Christian struck like lightning.
He punched the man in the nose, and with a crisp sound, blood flew, and the man immediately fell to the ground.
"Damn it!"
Wiping the blood, Kevin couldn't help but curse, "You dare to hit me?"
"Everyone, get him, kill him!"
Subsequently, dozens of masked men rushed forward.
"Be careful, Mr. West!"
Maryjane shouted anxiously!
She felt relieved that Christian had taken action, at least he hadn't left her side.
But with the opponents outnumbering and armed, how could he possibly defeat them with his bare hands?
Just when she was anxiously fretting…
"Whoosh."
Christian kicked out, sweeping several men to the ground like fallen leaves.
He leaped up, punching down from above, hitting several people's vital points in succession.
In an instant.
Screams were incessant, and bodies flew through the air.
In a flash, all these masked men were downed.
They lay on the ground, wailing in pain and trembling.
"Such strength?"
Maryjane's face was filled with astonishment.
She had thought Christian would be at a disadvantage and even felt guilty for involving him.
But unexpectedly, not only was his medical skill excellent, his kung fu was also impressive.
Everything happened so quickly, she didn't even get to witness it clearly before it was over.
Her heart was shocked, and her curiosity about Christian grew even more.
Unknowingly, a tender part of her heart seemed to be deeply touched.
"Thump."
At this moment, Christian landed gracefully.
He was not flushed or out of breath, as if everything that had just happened never occurred.
He walked over and grabbed Kevin by the neck, dragging him like a dead dog to Maryjane, "Miss Keller, he's yours now."
"Thank you, Mr. West."
Maryjane nodded, then picked up the machete on the ground and held it to the man's neck, coldly saying, "Speak, who sent you?"
First, they poisoned her grandfather.
Then, they attempted to assassinate her.
The mastermind behind this was no ordinary person. If not rooted out completely, it would be a never-ending threat!
Her grandfather was the most important person in her life.
She couldn't bear to lose him a second time.
"Miss Keller, please don't force me."
"This, I…"
Kevin stammered, his face full of misery, unwilling to speak.
Christian was about to react, but Maryjane suddenly became fierce, pressing the machete into his flesh.
Instantly, severe pain ripped through him, and blood gushed out, "Not talking, huh?"
"Fine, you're useless to me, and I won't keep you alive."
"I'll chop off your head right now!"
Then.
She raised the knife to strike.
Seeing this, Christian's pupils shrank.
He hadn't realized that Maryjane could be so ruthless.
Usually a high-ranking female CEO.
But now, she was like a female bandit, heartless and merciless.
He had underestimated her.
"Don't, don't kill me."
"Fine, I'll talk."
Kevin pleaded, his face full of bitterness. Despite his unwillingness, facing death, so-called loyalty was nothing.
"I'm from the Plum Blossom Society, my boss Shanks sent me to capture you."
"He was also instructed by someone else. As for who exactly, I don't know what he's called, but it seems..."
"Swish!"
Mid-sentence, a crisp sound rang out.
Cutting through the air, it accurately hit his throat.
He couldn't even scream before blood spurted out, and he fell dead!
