Chapter 560: Breaking the Deadlock
"Bang." Suddenly, Ye Shikai heard a metallic clanging sound, and turned his head to see that the front of the car had been hooked up with a tow strap, the other end attached to another car. What's going on? He then noticed Chen Yuxin's slightly raised lips. What is she planning to do...
Before Ye Shikai could react, a jade hand reached out, grabbing the car keys, turning off the engine, and pulling out the key all in one smooth motion. Chen Yuxin snatched the keys and threw them out of the car window.
"Xin, what are you doing?" Ye Shikai was utterly befuddled. This looked like a "robbery." He tried to open the car door, but as expected, it was locked - definitely the work of that damned Array.
"Bang." Suddenly, Ye Shikai felt the car vibrate as it started to be towed.
"Kai, we're going home now," Chen Yuxin said with a dazed look in her eyes, almost sickly, as she gently stroked Ye Shikai's cheeks and whispered in his ear.
"Are you insane?" Ye Shikai cursed as he tried to dodge, but the confined space of the car meant he was basically stuck in the driver's seat.
"Hehe." Chen Yuxin suddenly wrapped her arms around Ye Shikai's neck and kissed him. Ye Shikai instinctively turned away, and her tender lips landed on the side of his face.
"Let go of me," Ye Shikai struggled, feeling an overwhelming force holding him down. Eventually, he had no choice but to use his Inner Strength to push Chen Yuxin away.
"Beep... Beep... Beep..." At that moment, the sound of a police siren came from outside the car, and both of them looked out the window to see a police car slowly pulling up alongside.
"Family Head, the police have arrived," Chen Ruoya gently knocked on the car window, speaking respectfully.
"Deal with it," Chen Yuxin said indifferently, then turned her attention back to Ye Shikai.
"Yes," Chen Ruoya acknowledged the command and walked alone toward the police car.
"Officer, I've got a situation here," Chen Yuxin was so focused on using the Array on the car door that she neglected one detail - the car window could still be opened. Ye Shikai took this opportunity to shout out the window.
Ye Shikai, clutching at straws, was lucky that his cry for help actually worked. The police officer, ignoring Chen Ruoya's attempts to stop her, slowly approached.
"Zhang... Ting..." When Ye Shikai recognized the person who arrived, he was so excited he almost cried. It wasn't someone else; it was Zhang Ting.
Zhang Ting, you're really my savior...
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Walking over with a document in hand, Zhang Ting also showed surprise upon seeing the scene. She had just encountered Ye Shikai that day and didn't expect to run into him again while on patrol at night.
"What's wrong, is the car broken?" Zhang Ting asked curiously. Upon seeing the tow strap, she became even more curious. What's with these four cars lined up one after the other, and all these uniformed bodyguards? Clearly, these were important people. Her gaze scanned the surroundings, and Zhang Ting's eyes finally rested on Chen Yuxin.
"Who is this lady?" Zhang Ting inquired.
"You do not have the privilege of knowing my identity, you'd better leave right now," Chen Yuxin said expressionlessly.
"No, why are you acting like this," Zhang Ting couldn't help but get riled up after being rebuffed by Chen Yuxin.
"Zhang Ting, don't get angry, okay? I'll explain it to you in a moment," Ye Shikai hurriedly stepped in as a mediator, then turned to Chen Yuxin and said, "I know her, let me out first, and I'll go explain things to her."
"Go quickly." Chen Yuxin's lips revealed a faint smile, and with a wave of her right hand, she dispelled the Array on the car door. Ye Shikai took the opportunity to open the door, took a deep breath, and actually felt a sense of relief.
"Who is this woman?" Zhang Ting asked with irritation. Coincidentally, it was also while on the road that Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu ran into her last time, and it happened again this time. Could it be some sort of curse?
"Zhang Ting, you have to save me. If you help me this time, I'll agree to what you asked for," Ye Shikai pulled Zhang Ting into a corner and shook her shoulders, looking extremely urgent.
"What, you agreed? No, wait, first tell me what happened," Zhang Ting started to laugh upon hearing this, not expecting Ye Shikai to suddenly agree to her request. But then she pondered why he agreed so readily this time.
"It's complicated to explain, I'll tell you later. Now time is critical." Ye Shikai looked back at Chen Yuxin and then said to Zhang Ting, "If you don't save me, I'm as good as dead."
"Alright, alright, as long as you're not doing anything illegal, I'll help you," Zhang Ting said, also perceiving Ye Shikai's urgency and reluctantly nodded.
"You just need to find an excuse to take me to the police station later on."
"Are you out of your mind? This is the first time I've ever heard of someone wanting to get caught," Zhang Ting scoffed coldly.
"Don't worry about it, just do as I say. Later, I'll pretend to reason with you, but you must insist on taking me away," Ye Shikai couldn't help but raise his voice a little.
"Fine, fine, we'll talk when we get to the police station," Zhang Ting waved her hand resignedly.
.........…
"Officer Zhang, could you perhaps make an exception here?" Ye Shikai put on a sycophantic air and subtly signaled to Zhang Ting with his eyes.
"No, your car is blocking the road, and that's against the rules. You'd better cooperate, and you, ma'am, please also come with me," Zhang Ting stated in an indifferent tone.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruoya immediately stepped forward, blocking Zhang Ting. The status of the Family Head of the Chen family was incredibly esteemed; how could she tolerate this indignity. In reality, with the power of the Chen family, even if Zhang Ting really wanted to arrest her, it would probably be futile, not to mention for such a trivial matter, which could be settled with just a phone call.
"Don't be agitated, don't be agitated, let's talk this out," Ye Shikai quickly stepped forward to interject, "Of course I'll cooperate, let's just go now."
"Wait a moment." At this time, a cold voice sounded. Chen Yuxin slowly got out of the car, and the bright moonlight shone on her face, making even Zhang Ting marvel at the beauty of the woman before her.
"I will go with him," Chen Yuxin stated indifferently, but her tone carried an unmistakable authority that brooked no opposition.
"No, Xin, you're an important figure; going to the police station will give rise to speculation," Ye Shikai quickly objected.
"Family Head, let me accompany Mr. Ye instead," Chen Ruoya also voiced her opposition, as she had always been loyally devoted to protecting the reputation of the Family Head.
"Alright." After a few seconds of hesitation, Chen Yuxin said indifferently, then turned and walked back to the limousine, a barely noticeable smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
