for Advance Chapter

  When I got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

  Aunt Liu watched Chen Xiao and Mu Qingshuang walk in together, a look of surprise on her face. She knew their relationship very well. In the past month, she had basically never seen them go home together. They both worked in the same company, but Mu Qingshuang would go home after get off work, while Chen Xiao would come back almost at night when Mu Qingshuang was asleep, and then get up after Mu Qingshuang left in the morning. It was as if they were deliberately avoiding each other...

  What surprised Aunt Liu even more was that when the two of them came back together, Mu Qingshuang's face did not look as cold as frost, and Chen Xiao still had a hint of a smile on his face.

  "Miss, Master...you are back."

  Chen Xiao greeted Aunt Liu with a smile, then walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

  During this month in Zhonghai, he has become accustomed to coming home late and has also developed the habit of going to bed late and getting up late. Now it is still early, but he can't sleep.

  Chen Xiao originally thought that Mu Qingshuang would go straight upstairs as usual, but he didn't expect that Mu Qingshuang would actually go straight to the living room and sit down on the sofa opposite Chen Xiao.

  Chen Xiao looked at Mu Qingshuang with some surprise. Although Mu Qingshuang had just said in the car that the two of them could try to be friends first to avoid the cold and indifferent relationship between them, Chen Xiao didn't think that Mu Qingshuang would be able to get along with him calmly and chat like friends so soon...

  Chen Xiao was already very satisfied that he no longer had that icy look he used to have.

  Chen Xiao casually turned on the TV. With the sound of the TV, the atmosphere between the two of them would not seem so dull and awkward after all.

  "Chen Xiao, since Dad asked you to help me, have you ever thought about doing something?"

  Mu Qingshuang stared at the TV and asked casually as if chatting about family matters, but Chen Xiao felt that this was probably the reason why she didn't go to bed and followed him to the sofa.

  Chen Xiao leaned back on the sofa, stretched, and said with a smile: "I'm not good at business or anything like that. Even if I wanted to help, I can't do it. I think it's fine the way it is now..."

  Mu Qingshuang's expression suddenly turned colder: "Are you planning to just live like this for the rest of your life?"

  Chen Xiao knew that Mu Qingshuang would definitely not like what he said, but what could he do? He definitely couldn't be like those business elites, wearing a suit, tie, shirt and leather shoes, and working around the phone and desk from nine to five every day.

  Chen Xiao smiled bitterly: "Then what do you think I should do?"

  Mu Qingshuang glared at Chen Xiao, dissatisfaction evident in her eyes. "No matter what you do, as long as you do it seriously, it's fine. But if you don't do it, then it's your attitude problem..."

  Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly: "I don't think you look like a CEO, but more like a teacher..."

  Mu Qingshuang stared at Chen Xiao without saying a word, but her intense gaze showed that she was very dissatisfied with Chen Xiao's attitude. She did not hear the answer she wanted to hear.

  The reason why Mu Qingshuang has always disliked Chen Xiao is not because of Chen Xiao's own conditions. On the contrary, Chen Xiao is tall, has a somewhat rough face, deep eyes, and a unique masculine charm. Even if Mu Qingshuang doesn't like him, she has to admit it. What really makes Mu Qingshuang dislike Chen Xiao is Chen Xiao's lazy and nonchalant attitude!

  Chen Xiao felt helpless as Mu Qingshuang stared at him like that. He knew what Mu Qingshuang wanted, but he couldn't do it. That kind of life wasn't what he wanted. After years of carrying out various dangerous missions amidst hail of bullets and swords, his nerves were already worn out. He really didn't want to have to strain himself like that in life...

  The air seemed to stagnate again.

  Chen Xiao was thinking about how to reply when his cell phone suddenly rang.

  Chen Xiao smiled apologetically at Mu Qingshuang, then picked up his cell phone and saw that it was Ye Xiaojia calling. Chen Xiao couldn't help feeling a little strange. Why was she calling him at this time?

  With doubts, Chen Xiao pressed the answer button. As soon as he pressed it, he heard heavy breathing, which was rapid and uneven.

  Chen Xiao's heart trembled, and he quickly asked: "Ye Xiaojia...Ye Xiaojia..."

  Mu Qingshuang, who was sitting on the sofa, heard Chen Xiao's voice and her face became even colder. She leaned back on the sofa and stared at Chen Xiao coldly.

  Chen Xiao didn't pay any attention to Mu Qingshuang's reaction. His intuition told him that something had happened to Ye Xiaojia.

  "Brother Chen..."

  Amidst the heavy breathing, Ye Xiaojia's voice came, full of powerlessness and weakness.

  "What happened and where are you?"

  Chen Xiao suddenly stood up from the sofa and asked with a frown. A terrifying aura suddenly emanated from him. Mu Qingshuang next to him changed her expression slightly. She looked at the serious Chen Xiao with surprise in her eyes.

  Mu Qingshuang's feeling about Chen Xiao was that he was lazy and not doing his job properly, but at this moment, Chen Xiao gave Mu Qingshuang a completely different feeling.

  Serious and solemn.

  A Chen Xiao that is completely different from what we know.

  Mu Qingshuang also heard what Chen Xiao said. Although she didn't know what had happened to the other party, she knew that since Chen Xiao paid so much attention to her, she must be a woman with whom Chen Xiao had a very good relationship.

  Thinking of this, the coldness in Mu Qingshuang's eyes increased by two points.

  "Brother Chen... I'm in the bathroom on the second floor of Jianghai Hotel. I seem to be drunk... My head feels so dizzy..." Ye Xiaojia's voice was very slow and she was breathing heavily.

  Before Chen Xiao could say anything, there was a knock on the door and a man's voice on the phone.

  "Miss Ye, are you okay? Let me take you home."

  Chen Xiao frowned. "Whose voice is that? Where are Xie Fang and the others?"

  "It's Section Chief Wu..." Ye Xiaojia's voice was filled with a hint of weakness that could not be suppressed: "I don't know where they went. They were here just now..."

  When Chen Xiao heard Ye Xiaojia say this, he already had a guess in his mind and asked, "How do you feel now?"

  "I feel so sleepy... I can hardly open my eyes... Section Chief Wu has been chasing me, saying he wants to take me home. I hid in the bathroom just to avoid him... I'm a little scared of her. Brother Chen, can you come pick me up?"

  After hearing this, Chen Xiao roughly understood what was going on and said hurriedly, "Okay, I'll be right there. Lock yourself in the bathroom and wait for me to pick you up. Don't open the door unless I tell you to. Understand?"

  "Got it, Brother Chen... Sorry to bother you."

  "Okay, wait for me!"

  Chen Xiao hung up the phone and turned around to ask, "My car is not back from the company yet. Can you lend me yours?"

  Mu Qingshuang looked at Chen Xiao with cold eyes full of sarcasm.

  Chen Xiao was anxious. It was obvious that Ye Xiaojia had been plotted against by that bastard Wu Yi at the dinner table. Mr. Sun and Xie Fang from Parkson Company had disappeared for no reason. They were probably also insiders or even participants. If he had arrived too late, Ye Xiaojia might have been taken away by Wu Yi. Time was urgent and he had no time to explain slowly to Mu Qingshuang.

  Chen Xiao grabbed Mu Qingshuang's bag, unzipped it, and under Mu Qingshuang's angry gaze, he took out the car keys and rushed out the door.

  With a bang, the door slammed shut.

  Mu Qingshuang sat on the sofa, looking towards the door, her face pale and her eyes angry. She was obviously very angry about Chen Xiao's behavior.

  …

  Chen Xiao drove Mu Qingshuang's Maserati with a powerful roar and rushed out of the villa directly. Like a roaring monster, he quickly rushed out of the community and headed towards Jianghai Hotel.

  Although the number of cars on the street had decreased a lot at this time, when Chen Xiao's car appeared on the main road, it was still stuck in the layers of traffic. Chen Xiao was anxious and stepped on the accelerator hard. The car was like a swimming fish, constantly weaving left and right in the traffic, like a swordfish, constantly breaking through obstacles and rushing forward.

  The residential complex where Chen Xiao lives is a certain distance away from the Jianghai Hotel. Although he is in traffic, the car driven by Chen Xiao always maintains a speed of over 100 kilometers. Like a slippery loach, he keeps weaving through the traffic and approaches the Jianghai Hotel.

  Just when Chen Xiao was about to overtake a Mercedes-Benz sedan again, a black off-road vehicle that had been waiting quietly in the traffic suddenly accelerated, like a roaring monster, and instantly approached the speeding Maserati.

  Chen Xiao's eyes flashed, and he quickly turned the steering wheel, instantly overtaking the approaching off-road vehicle and rushing forward again.

  Seeing the Maserati overtaking the off-road vehicle and rushing forward, the off-road vehicle suddenly accelerated wildly, like a madly running monster, rushing forward with the huge roar of the motor.

  Chen Xiao was relying on his superb posture skills to overtake the vehicles in front of him, when suddenly a black off-road vehicle behind him seemed to be out of control, and rushed up with a huge roar, then turned right directly, braked suddenly, and stopped suddenly in front of the lane, blocking the Maserati's way forward!

  Chen Xiao's car was originally controlled at a speed of more than 140 miles per hour. Now, he encountered a sudden change. In order to avoid directly hitting the off-road vehicle blocking the road in front, he had no choice but to turn the steering wheel to the right. The car suddenly rushed towards the roadside steps like a wild horse, and hit a flower bed directly. Then it rubbed against each other and got stuck between two flower beds.

  Chen Xiao was so angry that he thought, who the hell is crazy? He just barged in like that. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have crashed into him.

  Chen Xiao turned his head and saw the violent policewoman Xia Yubing, whom he had met once, coming out of the cab of the off-road vehicle.

  "Xia Yubing! What are you doing?"

  Chen Xiao roared in anger, wishing he could slap the policewoman away. He glanced at his poor Maserati, which had crashed directly into the middle of two flower beds. Both sides were dented, looking horrible. It looked like it was temporarily scrapped.

  Xia Yubing looked at Chen Xiao sitting in the car, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face. "You kid, I finally caught you this time!"

  Chen Xiao's furious roar fell into Xia Yubing's ears. Xia Yubing was secretly happy and shouted coldly: "Do you know that speeding like you is very dangerous?"

  Chen Xiao had a gloomy face and ignored Xia Yubing who was talking. He tried to start the car, but the engine wheezed for a long time and the car still wouldn't start.

  Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and cast a cold look at Xia Yubing. His gaze was like a knife, making Xia Yubing feel pain on her face. Moreover, the aura of Chen Xiao suddenly became extremely terrifying and extremely dangerous!

  It was like a dormant beast that suddenly showed its fangs!

  Xia Yubing suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger in his heart. This feeling had only appeared when facing a vicious wanted criminal. Xia Yubing felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that the guy in front of him was really a wanted criminal or a desperado?

  Without waiting for Xia Yubing to react, Chen Xiao suddenly attacked!

  A ghostly hand grabbed Xia Yubing's wrist. Before she could react, her wrist went numb and her hand was empty. The pistol slipped out of her palm and fell into the ghostly hand.

  Xia Yubing's eyes suddenly widened, filled with immense fear!

  She didn't have the slightest ability to fight back!

  Chen Xiao's eyes passed Xia Yubing and fell on the SUV behind her. Without hesitation, he walked towards the SUV and said, "Can I borrow your car? I'm in a hurry to save someone. If you're interested, come along. Otherwise, stay out of the way!"

  As he spoke, Chen Xiao had already opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, casually threw the pistol on the passenger seat, and started to set the car on fire.

  Xia Yubing bit her lip, opened the passenger door, sat directly in, grabbed her pistol, and stared at Chen Xiao like a little tiger: "You know that your actions just now are illegal. Assaulting the police, stealing the gun, and now stealing the car... Just because of you..."

  Before Xia Yubing could finish her words, Chen Xiao had already started the car and said calmly, "Sit tight."

  Xia Yubing glared at Chen Xiao who ignored her. Just as she was about to say something angrily, Chen Xiao stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The off-road vehicle roared like a wounded beast and suddenly rushed out. Xia Yubing's body hit the backrest of the driver's seat heavily.

  Xia Yubing watched the off-road vehicle frantically overtaking other vehicles in the traffic flow and screamed, "Do you want to die?"

  Chen Xiao ignored Xia Yubing and focused on driving. His speed actually increased instead of decreasing, reaching an astonishing 180 mph!

  Xia Yubing's face turned pale. She had never seen anyone drive so crazily. She could drive the car at such a crazy speed in the traffic. She quickly pulled the seat belt and fastened herself in the driver's seat.

  "Where are you going?"

  "Jianghai Hotel!"
