The director unleashed a tirade in his mind while keeping a polite smile on his face.
“We have alerted the traffic police to investigate. The results will be out soon, please be patient.”
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, “Please wait here, I need to step out for a moment to deal with some matters.”
“Thankyou for your assistance, director,” Tao Yi smiled politely.
“No need for thanks, no need for thanks,” 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, “Director, we’ve got the surveillance footage, it shows that the car from behind intentionally rear-ended theirs!”
“Shh…” the director quickly motioned for the subordinate to lower his voice, fearful that the people inside might overhear, “Let’s just keep the results for now. If asked, just say we haven’t figured it out yet.”
“Why?” the junior cop asked, puzzled.
The director sighed: “Because we can’t afford to offend anyone inside. Let them handle this minor problem on their own.”
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, “Dongfang Yu, after so many years, you haven’t changed a bit. Still as narrow-minded.”
Dongfang Yu retorted with laughter, unceremoniously counter-attacking, “For a familiar face that I haven’t seen in many years, your first words are insults. Makes me wonder how great Tao’s demeanor is.”
“As an old acquaintance, you hit my car as soon as we meet. Do you think I should be polite to you?”
“I was merely excited to see an old friend and accidentally bumped into your car. Tao, surely you’re not that petty?”
Tao Yi scoffed once more, “So you admit it was deliberate?”
Without a change in his expression, Dongfang Yu retorted unkindly, “I’m not certain if it was intentional. Maybe it was Tao who deliberately led me to break the rules.”
Tao Yi raised an eyebrow, “It was me leading you?”
Dongfang Yu’s gaze sharpened, “When you approach my wife with ill intentions, it naturally riles me up. So, in a fit of anger, I might have caused an accident.”
Before Tao Yi could respond, Hai Xiaotang unconsciously retorted, “Dongfang Yu, I’ve divorced you already!”
Dongfang Yu ignored her, his gaze locked onto Tao Yi with fierce intent.
Tao Yi’s stare was equally chilling, “Did you hear that, Dongfang Yu? She’s already divorced you. She has nothing to do with you!”
Dongfang Yu responded with a challenging smirk, “The relationship is deeper than you know, do you want me to explain it to you sometime?”
“Dongfang Yu, I have nothing to do with you,” Xiaotang retorted again.
Dongfang Yu’s demeanor turned colder, “Tao Yi, long time no see, perhaps we should find a place to catch up?”
Tao Yi’s gaze sharpened even more, “Yes, it’s time for a catch-up. I’ve been longing for it for a long time.”
“I’ve also been thinking of you!”
“Then let’s sort it out. I’m no fan of dragging things along!”
Dongfang Yu responded with a gloating smirk: “Same here!”
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 years…
She was completely baffled, wondering what kind of grudge or resentment existed between them in the past?
“Well then, let’s go,” Dongfang Yu stood up and Tao Yi followed suit.
As they walked towards the exit, Hai Xiaotang hurriedly asked, “Where are you two going?!”
Dongfang Yu tilted his head and commanded Ji Chuan, “Take her home.
