After running on the track for just over an hour, Chu Yi and the others pulled over to rest, when they saw a sleek black shadow darting swiftly along the track. The speed was breathtaking. The group, who had been chatting, all turned their gazes in unison toward that black car on the track. Such speed was beyond reach. Every turn, drift, and acceleration was executed almost perfectly, making one want to cheer and applaud. After the final curve, the car performed a 180-degree spin drift, landing steadily in the parking spot, instantly igniting the crowd. The onlookers roared, "Boss is amazing!"
The car door opened, and Sheng Qi stepped out with a cold face. He swept a chilling glare at the cheering crowd and said, "Got nothing better to do?" The cheers vanished instantly. His ominous tone and the dangerous aura he exuded sent the crowd scattering in haste.
Chu Er asked in confusion, "Why does the boss seem so irritable? Who dared to piss him off?" Chu Yi glanced at Chu Er and turned to leave. He didn't want to stick around this idiot—easy to get caught in the crossfire! Who else could dare to provoke the boss besides that girl? This fool!
"Hey, you guys, wait for me! Why are you running?" Chu Er chased after Chu Yi and the others.
"Chu Yi!" Sheng Qi called out coldly, stopping him. Chu Yi halted, his smile stiffening as he silently cursed Chu Er from head to toe. Seeing this, You Yu and Xiao Xi quickly made their exit—if they didn't leave now, they'd get caught in the fallout. As Chu Yi passed by, he shot Chu Er a fierce glare. Chu Er was baffled by the glare. Why was he glaring at him?
Chu Yi nervously followed to the office and cautiously asked, "Boss, what do you need me for?" "Look into someone for me!" Sheng Qi said coldly. "Huh?" Chu Yi was taken aback—wasn't he here to get chewed out? "That new bodyguard at the Bai Tang family. Check his background!" Sheng Qi said icily, frowning at Chu Yi's distracted state. Chu Yi quickly snapped to attention: "Yes! I'll investigate right away!" Just as he turned to leave, Sheng Qi called him back: "Be careful. That person isn't simple!" Chu Yi nodded and left.
The door closed, and Sheng Qi's gaze darkened. He didn't want to doubt what Bai Tang had said, but from the man he saw today, Sheng Qi could clearly sense something different. Bai Wu gave him a strange feeling—neither good nor evil, and quite dangerous. Moreover, his attitude toward Bai Tang was odd. If they were friends, he shouldn't treat her that way. He felt that from this man, he might uncover other things. Sheng Qi reached for the documents beside him to handle, opened them, and stared at the first page for a long time without moving. After a few minutes, he picked up his phone, found Bai Tang's number, and wanted to call her, but hesitated for a long time. Finally, he returned to the home screen and sent her a message: "Have you done today's homework?" After sending it, he tossed the phone aside and focused on the documents in front of him, expecting a quick reply that never came. Sheng Qi frowned, his cold gaze falling on the phone beside him. After a few seconds, he picked it up and opened it. Staring at the screen, he couldn't help but send another message: "Writing homework?" Feeling it might be inappropriate, he edited another: "Send me a photo of your homework when you're done for me to check!" After sending it, he put the phone down again. Forcing himself to focus on the documents, he found his gaze constantly drifting back to the phone beside him...
