CHAPTER 724
She shut her eyes briefly and smiled. If it was going to end like this, then why not give the best she could and die with a happy face.
At least Ye Cheng would be alright. Not that it mattered much if she did, she was going to be blown to pieces, but she hoped he would feel her smile.
“Tick! 4… 3… 2… 1…”
BOOM!
Her eyes remained closed as something popped out from behind her. What she heard next, however, did not do justice to the feeling she was having a little while back.
…..
“Happy birthday! Oh, it’s your birthday. It’s your birthday.”
Her brows kneaded forming a deep frown on her forehead as she stared ahead.
She had least expected that to happen and quickly, she snapped her head, turning her body with her to look closely at what the hell was that nonsense.
A small box lay on her car seat with a popping-out toy that looked like one used in a circus program, while singing, more like yelling, it’s your birthday.
“Hahaha…”
The meaningless laughter of the mastermind resounded from her phone again, pulling her attention over to him.
A deep breath fell off her lips while she swallowed saliva hard till her throat became dry.
She could not believe she came close to dying but managed to brace up. The situation now was one that called for her angry side and not a scared one.
“You never saw that coming right? You thought it was a real bomb, hahaha,” his later reverberated in the car, sending vibes of rage down her pit.
“Are you done?”
Just then she heard a sharp knock on her car door, followed by another. More and more knocks came and she knew her bodyguard was scared.
As much as she wished to get him back to calm down, she had no control of the locks to her car in the meantime.
“No. I am happy seeing you this way.”
“Good. Then listen carefully.” Her voice came in low but deadly. “I am not Ye Sheng,” she pointed out sharply.
“My same as you well know is Li An. No one messes with me and goes scot-free. Say your last prayer because I would be coming for the Zhang family. Understood?”
“There is nothing you can do, Li An. Now, this is my warning. Have your son stop going against us or you would be faced with real death and he shall be devastated.”
“I told you before, death does not scare me. Now unlock the damn door and face me head-on. Oh, wait.”
She suddenly paused and giggled. “What was I expecting from a real pr*ck? You would never be half of the man my son is.”
To add to the insult, she clicked on the red icon and ended the call. Just to make her self clear, Li An elbowed the window at her corner of the car with sheer force.
CLANK!
She did not care for the cost of damage. she just wanted to leave and get back at her attackers for real.
The second her bodyguard saw her breaking out, he rushed to her side and punched hard against the window, shattering it completely. “Madam, my apologies.”
He dipped his head in a bit and cleared the shattered fragments with his bare hand, ignoring the cut he got. “Please allow me to assist you.”
“Thank you.” She gave him her hand, ready to climb out when they heard the sound o the car lock coming undone.
Both of them cast a glance at each other first, before averting their gaze at the lock. She took back her hand and tried to open the door but it wouldn’t budge.
“Pull from outside,” she commanded and he did. The door pulled open, freeing her from the confines of the car.
She wasted no time in there and took her phone and bag as she highlighted. “Madam,” the young man’s face looked like he had seen terror as he glanced at the miniature pseudo bomb in the car.
“Ignore it all. Place a call to Ye Cheng for me and inform him they have begun.”
“Yes, ma. But what about you?”
“Me?” He nodded his head slightly. “Well, I have big fishes to fry. I need to make some calls. get me another car. I would still go shopping.”
She turned on her heels, completely phased by all of this and was about to leave when his voice stopped her again.
“But madam, have you any hurt, perhaps?”
“No. Leave Ye Cheng this exact message. They tried to blow me up. He should give them a thank you gift for me.”
Li An’s mouth twisted into a wry smile and the dark eyes that sought his held a trace of humour as her lips twisted at the corner of her mouth.
“He should make it sweet with a cake as a present. Now, let’s not air our dirty linen outside, now, shall we?”
She winked slightly and turned on her heels, proceeding back into her house.
As she walked, her smiling face dropped and all that was remaining was the ghost state of the devil they brought out.
‘I would make them pay.’ She promised in her mind.
He watched her leave before he took another glance at the car.
Without being told, he knew she was clearly attacked in there but she did not feel it or was it that she did not show it? He could not state it. All he knew, was that they may have messed with the wrong woman.
Carrying out her instruction, he brought his phone out to make the said call.
He waited a bit for the phone to ring before he got any response.
And once Ye Cheng had picked up, he delivered his message. ” Good morning sir.”
“Morning.”
“Sir, the madam asked me to deliver a message to you.”
Ye Cheng’s eyes dimmed. “I see. What happened? Is my mum not fine?”
“On the contrary sir, the madam is very much fine, I believe. However, I suppose the Zhang family has it in for her.”
There was silence at the other end of the phone. Ye Cheng did not know what to think but he knew something must have happened.
“What happened?”
“They attacked her with a pseudo bomb.”
“What?”
