The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 485 - Accident

Chapter 485: Accident

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The young man with glasses bowed slightly and asked the old man, “Boss, do you really want to do this?”

“Go and make the arrangements. Naturally, in a business, there business methods will be used. Outside of business, there other sets of methods will be used,” the old man said. “Since the other party is vicious and merciless, you can’t give him a chance to retaliate.”

“Yes.”

“I need it to be an accident!”

“Understood.”

The old man nodded slightly. Since the other party was vicious and merciless, they shouldn’t blame him for acting the same way.

To be able to attain his current status, how could it be possible for him to remain as pure and clean as a white lotus?

It was just that in general, regardless of what everyone did, they still played within the rules.

However, at this point in time, rules weren’t needed anymore.

…

“What’s happening? Did something happen?”

Ren Baqian returned to his room, saw five missed calls from Yang Sen, and thought to himself, Could there be some turn of events?

“Indeed, every time you take action, you cause big trouble.” Yang Sen sighed from the other end of the phone call.

“Is that person a big shot?” Ren Baqian wondered out loud. Could there be anyone who was more important than Ren Baqian? Currently, he was the ambassador who connected the two worlds and was also a Man Wheel expert! Furthermore, he also had a bunch of Earth Wheel experts as his subordinates.

“He’s quite a big shot, and his background isn’t simple at all. Most importantly, what he has in his hands.” After that, Yang Sen told Ren Baqian about that person’s identity.

“Wang Zhi? Top 100 wealthiest?” Ren Baqian was astonished.

Ren Baqian had really never heard of this name before. Even though the other party’s reputation wasn’t as eye-catching as the internet giants like Uncle Ma, Wang Zhi was still pretty influential in reality.

Wang Zhi not only owned the largest oil company in China, but also undertook several oil and gas projects in the nation. More importantly, he also owned something very significant: 40% of the shares of an American shale oil company.

Under that company’s land, a large oil field had just been discovered. According to the market price, it was now worth 900 billion US dollars.

Even if this oil field didn’t completely belong to the shale oil company, Wang Zhi would definitely receive part of the profits.

Although this news had yet to be announced, in this era where energy was most crucial, Wang Zhi’s importance was definitely not low when he had this trump card. Moreover, he had a privately-owned oil company as well, which further indicated his importance.

As a result, although Yang Sen had already contacted Wang Zhi through intermediaries, it was hard to say how effective this would be. In particular, Wang Zhi didn’t say anything and didn’t do anything. Yang Sen couldn’t have directly revealed the importance of Ren Baqian, right?

“Oh, I got it.” Ren Baqian was indifferent.

“If the two of you can apologize…” Yang Sen said after some hesitation. If Ren Baqian offered an apology and expressed his sincerity, it wasn’t impossible to resolve this issue.

“This is my house. She barged into my house, yet I have to give in?” Ren Baqian sneered.

“She is just a young girl. Furthermore, her flying motorbike lost control,” Yang Sen said.

“Don’t bother!” Ren Baqian immediately replied without thinking. He was determined to protect and support the empress regardless of what she did. The empress was always right.

He continued, “They are the ones who owe us an apology. They should really offer incense and thank the gods that we spared their lives.”

On the other end of the call, Yang Sen was sulking. This Wang Zhi wasn’t someone ordinary, but these two people were also not to be trifled with.

If he had to choose, the other world was definitely much more important than a piece of an oil field in America. Basically, these two issues weren’t even comparable.

Currently, regardless of whether the other party took out the secret manuals, the Elongation Saber, that pair of double swords that was of an unknown quality, or other stuff, they were all considered priceless treasures. These items were indeed very valuable.

In addition, it was impossible to obtain such items from anyone else other than Ren Baqian.

“I will think of another way out. First of all, don’t confront the other party. Inform me if anything comes up.” As Yang Sen thought about it, it seemed like he would need to communicate with the higher-ups. If that particular person stepped in, he probably might be able to restrain Wang Zhi.

“As long as he doesn’t provoke me. Can I still crash a flying motorbike into his house?” Ren Baqian grinned and hung up the call.

Frankly, it was really unfortunate. He had just returned to Earth and such a thing happened.

By the time Ren Baqian ended the call, the empress had already changed into a red dress.

“Let’s go out for dinner and then go to the Shanghai Bund to look at the scenery?” Ren Baqian asked.

“Hmm, I want to watch a movie!” the empress declared, sounding very excited.

Even though the empress had come to Earth so many times, she hadn’t watched a movie in a movie theater yet. She had only seen such scenes in the television shows that she watched and was rather curious.

“That’s fine too!” Seeing that the empress suggested catching a movie, he felt that it was a pretty good idea for a normal couple to watch a movie and eat popcorn in the dark.

When they were having dinner, Ren Baqian checked the moving listings and realized that a very interesting horror film was showing… The New Mutants!

Ren Baqian was interested because even the X-Men series could be turned into a horror film.

The empress and Ren Baqian ate enough portions to feed 30 people. Her chopsticks were moving so furiously that they were like the blades of a fan and were almost impossible to spot with the naked eye. All that was visible was a chain of shadows. Even though they were in a private room and didn’t frighten any customers, the people serving them got a huge shock.

He couldn’t deny that after getting stronger, everything else was fine with the exception of his appetite. It was destined that the both of them wouldn’t be able to have a meal in the main dining area of a restaurant.

There weren’t many people in the cinema. Ren Baqian and the empress carried a big bucket of popcorn and a huge drink cup as they entered the theater.

“What’s this?’ the empress asked while looking at the pair of glasses in her hands.

“Put it on, and you’ll know the effect in a while.” Ren Baqian demonstrated how to wear the 3D glasses.

Ren Baqian felt relieved when he took a whiff of the empress’s body scent. He reached out, grabbed one of the empress’s hands, and quietly waited for the movie to start.

At the beginning of the movie, the leaves floating from the screen surprised the empress.

“It seems like the leaves are in midair.” The empress reached out and wanted to touch them.

“3D movies, a new technology that utilizes the difference in vision fields between the two eyes to produce an optical illusion similar to real life objects,” Ren Baqian explained simply from the knowledge he had on the subject.

“Very interesting!” The empress was interested in 3D movies.

As the film progressed, the plot of the movie began to attract the empress.

The two no longer spoke anymore and quietly watched the movie while feeling the warmth of the other’s hand.

The atmosphere of the movie was a bit strange and was indeed like a horror movie.

Ren Baqian was afraid that the empress would be frightened by the movie’s jump scares and overreact, but fortunately, such a situation didn’t happen.

That is, until one of the characters approached a washing machine that was spinning. Suddenly, a palm and a burst of flame emerged. At the split second that the palm emerged, the empress subconsciously flicked her fingers…

Following a slight pop, a huge hole appeared on the screen at the position of the palm.

“Your Majesty!” Ren Baqian forced a smile and held the empress’s palm.

A big hole appeared on the screen, so they naturally couldn’t continue watching the movie. Even though the staff working at the movie theater immediately arranged another theater for them, the two of them had already lost interest.

“Let’s go back.” The empress was somewhat disappointed. However, as she was the one who had ruined it, she didn’t know what to say either.

When the two of them were on their way back and just after they passed an intersection, they heard the sound of tires screeching. There was a truck heading straight toward Ren Baqian’s vehicle.

“F*ck!” Just as Ren Baqian cursed, he stepped on the gas pedal and felt the entire car shaking violently. After that, their car was rammed into, and he felt the world spinning. The car was sent flying and consecutively flipped over twice before landing on the ground.

Instead of slowing down, the truck accelerated and rammed over.

Chapter 486: Revenge Must Not Be Left Overnight!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“The other party is approaching. They are four minutes and ten seconds away from intersection A, where there’ll be a red light for 30 seconds. Failure isn’t an option.”

After listening to the voice from the walkie-talkie, the man in the truck smiled with glowing eyes. “I’m a professional!”

Throwing the walkie-talkie onto the front passenger seat, the man in the truck lit up a cigarette in his mouth. He then looked at the time before stepping on the gas pedal.

There were three more minutes to go, and he was traveling at 35 kilometers an hour… When there were two more minutes to go, he drove at a speed of 50 kilometers an hour… When there was just 30 seconds left, he sped up to 80 kilometers an hour… To arrive within the forecasted time, the man was counting in his heart.

10, 9, 8… The driver could already see the traffic light at the intersection changing. Then, a black sedan drove past unhurriedly.

Just the right time.

For this specific moment, he had already taken this route five times last night before being able to accurately calculate the starting point as well as the speeds at various intervals. This was to ensure that he would arrive at the destination no more than three seconds past the stipulated time.

“That’s the target.” After confirming that there weren’t any other vehicles following behind the other party’s car, he drove his truck into the target without slowing down…

Boom!

Following the impact of the collision, the other party’s car flung out as expected.

Furthermore, their positions were just right.

In order to guard against the unexpected, a frame was installed at the back of his vehicle with the sole purpose of shifting the center of gravity to the top of the frame. If the position of the collision wasn’t right, he would have to immediately change directions, overturn the truck by relying on the center of gravity of the frame, and crush the other party’s car into a discus.

At present, however, that wasn’t required anymore. The driver had a smile on his face as he firmly stepped on the gas pedal and continued to ram into the other party. The direction was shifted a little, but the other party would definitely die as long as he crashed into the wall by the side of the road.

The five million yuan is mine, that man thought to himself.

At this moment, he stared at the car as it flipped through the air. The deformed car door suddenly flew open. Next, a demon-like red shadow appeared outside the car. The car seemed to freeze in time. It stopped flipping and floated in the air just like that.

After careful examination, that lady who was dressed in red had grabbed ahold of the car in the air with one hand and lifted the two ton Audi A6 several meters high as if it was a toy.

“Impossible!” That man’s pupils shrank into pinpoints

What was happening in front of him was basically impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Even seeing a UFO would be more believable than what was going on now.

Not only was he shocked, even a few cars that just happened to pass by the intersection stopped at the roadside one after another. In their cars, everyone had their eyes wide open as they continued looking at someone lift that car about seven meters into the air before landing on the ground.

“God!”

“I have faith in martial arts again!”

“Is this a superhuman ability?”

Everyone was dumbstruck in their cars and had absolutely no idea how to comprehend what they just saw.

Below Ren Baqian and the empress, the truck directly passed through. The driver was practically unable to reflect upon what had happened because that incident had severely impacted his awareness. When he saw that there was a building drawing closer and closer, he suddenly regained his awareness and rapidly turned the steering wheel. However, it was already too late.

Boom!

“What should we do?” A car stopped by the roadside. The two people in that car, who had just witnessed this incident, were both trembling. They had previously followed behind Ren Baqian’s car by around 100 meters and had clearly witnessed the entire incident. At this moment, both of them were completely spooked.

“Go back and inform our boss!” The both of them didn’t dare to stay another second longer and drove their car away at lightning speed. At the same time, they had also gotten through on the phone and explained everything that had just happened.

…

“Cough, cough!” Ren Baqian crawled out of the car, still feeling guilty about a terrible crime.

Nothing had actually happened to the empress. Unless it was a nuclear explosion, a truck would definitely not be able to do anything to her.

Still, Ren Baqian didn’t have that kind of strength.

Of course, with the empress around, nothing would happen to him. However, the scene of the truck crashing into them still left him with chills in his chest.

How hateful was the other party?! Wanting to take a life with the first strike.

It was almost instantly that Ren Baqian grew suspicious of that Wang Zhi.

The incident at the villa had just occurred in the afternoon, and he immediately got into a car accident on the same night. Besides, that truck didn’t honk its horn or reduce its speed. From all perspectives, it appeared to have wanted to take Ren Baqian’s life.

Ren Baqian touched his forehead. His hand was stained with blood.

Just now, the truck had crashed directly into where the empress was sitting. She was pretty much fine, but Ren Baqian had sustained some injuries.

“Bast*rd!” Ren Baqian gnashed his teeth as he turned around to look at that truck’s condition, only to see that the truck had overturned. It left a long trail on the ground, and half of the vehicle had rammed into the building in front of them. The insides of the truck were completely obscured by dust, and nothing could be seen.

The empress simply stood beside the truck. Ren Baqian didn’t know what she was thinking about.

“It’s too heavy, so I can’t drag it.” In a flash, the empress returned to Ren Baqian.

The truck itself weighed around 15,000 kilograms. After factoring in the cargo onboard, it weighed nearly 30,000 kilograms.

Even if the empress could lift a car that weighed 2,000 kilograms and leap into the air, it was hard for her to drag out a heavy truck that already had half of its body rammed into a building.

“I reckon he’s probably dead,” Ren Baqian said as he looked at the intact half of the truck. “However, I can roughly guess who is responsible for this.”

“The people from this afternoon?” the empress asked in a cold voice.

“Yes, 80 percent.”

Ren Baqian took off his shirt and wrapped it around his head, making him look like a mummy.

“Find out their location!” the empress replied with a murderous look. She was already a little disappointed that she had missed the rest of the movie. In spite of that, someone actually had the guts to attack her. That person must be tired of living.

Ren Baqian nodded. Not avenging a grievance wasn’t his style of doing things. A nobleman would seek revenge regardless of how long it would take.

He felt for his mobile phone and discovered it was still on him. He held it in his hand and hesitated for a moment, but didn’t dial any numbers. At the moment, Ren Baqian felt that it was rather troublesome because he didn’t know where the other party stayed.

Yang Sen could probably find out his address, but he definitely wouldn’t let Ren Baqian get ahold of it.

It would only be possible if Ren Baqian could threaten Yang Sen by having a conflict with the nation. However, the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses. After all, threatening the nation wasn’t that good of an idea.

If he were to bear with it now and take revenge after he found out the other party’s location, that would be much easier.

Unfortunately, Ren Baqian never liked to procrastinate when taking revenge since the day’s vengeance needed to be avenged on that very same day!

Thankfully, there was still another solution that didn’t require him to fall out with the nation.

Didn’t the other party have a wounded member?

They would talk about it again after she was captured.

There were nearly 40 AAA class hospitals in Shanghai. Such people would definitely go to the best hospitals.

As such, there would be an 80 percent chance of finding the other party by going to the top three hospitals.

Ren Baqian switched on his mobile phone and searched for the top three hospitals in Shanghai. He memorized them and immediately switched his phone off.

“Your Majesty, let’s go to Zhongshan Hospital and have a look first. Do you still remember what that person from this afternoon looked like?”

“I have a highly retentive memory!” The empress was slightly prideful, but lowered her voice later. “However, such tiny individuals aren’t fit for my eyes…”

Ren Baqian was speechless.

That means you didn’t actually look at them… That’s why you don’t remember, right? Ren Baqian thought to himself.

Exactly the empress’s style!

“Let’s wait for a few minutes first and see if anybody comes to investigate.” As Ren Baqian looked at the surroundings, he found that there were indeed a few cars parked along the roadside.

“Your Majesty, are there any problems with those people?”

The empress scanned in that direction and replied faintly, “They’re all ordinary people.”

“In that case, let’s wait. Maybe the other party will send someone to investigate.” After Ren Baqian finished talking, the both of them hid in the shadows near the roadside.

A while later, someone did indeed come to investigate, but they were all ordinary people. One by one, they carefully stepped closer and made phone calls at the same time.

Soon after, police cars and ambulances rushed down to the scene.

“Let’s go,” Ren Baqian said. It seemed like they would have to try their luck at the hospitals.

Just as Ren Baqian finished his sentence, the empress lifted his collar, and he felt like he was riding on a cloud. Harsh winds blew across his face as everything around him moved rapidly in reverse. After that, the empress jumped on top of a tall building and headed in the direction that he indicated.

Not long after Ren Baqian left, a few other people arrived at the scene. After assessing the situation, they hurriedly gave Yang Sen a call.

“Accident? A truck rammed straight into their car and sent it flying? Are they alright? Qi Zixiao lifted the car and leaped seven meters into the air? Both of them fled the scene after that, and their locations are unknown?” Once Yang Sen heard the details from the phone call, he quickly hung up the phone and called Ren Baqian, but he discovered that Ren Baqian’s phone was turned off.

“Oh no, something big is about to happen!”

An hour later, Ren Baqian and the empress arrived at Zhongshan Hospital. After finding out the location of the special ward, they walked toward that building.

Just as they reached the lobby, they saw a few people supporting a lady dressed in a hospital gown and walking out rapidly.

After one of them saw Ren Baqian and the empress, his facial expression changed as he repeatedly urged, “Hurry!”

At the same time, he and another person assumed an alert stance.

Ren Baqian squinted his eyes as a cold intent permeated from his gaze. They managed to locate her so quickly. It really must be fate!
