Chapter 8

Danger

Vivian repeated loudly as if she was afraid that he could not hear her clearly.

Once again, she attracted the attention of the crowd. Pierre felt like he was being roasted on a firing rack. He was extremely embarrassed, but he could only force himself to say, “I’m sorry.”

The humiliation at this moment made his whole face extremely distorted, but because he had his head down, Vivian did not see it. But even if she did, she would not care.

Vivian nodded with satisfaction. “Take your time, I’ll be leaving.”

After greeting them, Jack immediately took Vivian to the financial office to collect the check.

The service of a public listed company was indeed different. After knowing that Vivian was alone, Jack specially arranged for two security guards to accompany Vivian to the bank.

After successfully depositing the money, Vivian only kept 20,000 on her.

Although she had covered her face for the stone gambling this time, Vivian was worried that a long delay would bring more trouble. After all, Bruno, this paranoid man, had a huge influence. If she was caught by him, she would definitely be imprisoned and become a puppet without freedom!

Vivian was a company executive in her previous life. She had enjoyed the independence that her workplace brought her and the sense of accomplishment that came with success in her career. How could she be willing to be trapped in an iron cage?

Vivian decided to leave for the continent today. She wanted to use the shortest time possible to fight for a place that could compete with Bruno!

Vivian was a man of action. She took a taxi to buy the fastest train to the mainland, but she did not expect to see a group of men in black searching the luggage of the passengers at the entrance of the train station. These people were obviously with the people who were chasing the man today!

Vivian’s heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, she had considered the preciousness of the jewelry and did not dare to wait here with her luggage before buying the ticket.

Vivian bought the ticket and left the station in a hurry. After returning to the hotel, she thought for a long time and finally decided to put the wooden box in the highest-level safe in the bank. She planned to come back and get it after the incident had died down.

Without the worry of being searched, Vivian successfully got on the train to the mainland.

They arrived at the station at ten o’clock in the evening. After passing through the gate, they would arrive in S City. Vivian dragged her newly purchased suitcase and carried her bag as she walked out of the gate in a good mood.

There were many cars waiting for passengers on the side of the road. There were mobs, regular taxis, and private cars that did private work. When they saw a customer, they would immediately greet and solicit them.

Vivian walked towards a regular taxi by the roadside, but after a few steps, she was stopped by a private car owner. The owner greeted her with a smile, “Where are you going, Miss? You can take my car, I’m much cheaper than those taxis.”

Vivian waved her hand and refused. “No need. I have someone to pick me up.”

Vivian was beautiful and well-dressed. One look and one could tell that she was a big fat fish. It would be easy for him to do whatever he wanted when she was pulled to a remote location. The private car driver had already planned it out and would not let her go easily. After seeing Vivian’s excuses, he still stopped her. “Miss, I’m also a legitimate car. If you don’t pay for a cheap car, why do you need to pay? ”

Vivian refused again, but seeing that the other party was still standing in front of her, she could not help but be vigilant.

There were so many customers here that the usual drivers would immediately change their target after being rejected. They would not waste too much time on a single customer.

The driver saw that Vivian was on guard against him and cursed in his heart. The gentle smile on his face faded, and he took advantage of the difference in strength and directly pulled Vivian’s arm to his car.

“Miss, it’s very late now. I’ll take you to the hotel quickly. I don’t want to disturb your rest.”

Vivian immediately started struggling. “Let go of me! I’m not taking your car!”

However, the other party was a tall and strong man, and Vivian could not break free at all. Seeing that the private car park on the side of the road was getting closer and closer, she shouted in a hurry, “Which taxi is willing to give me a ride? I’ll pay ten times the fare!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Vivian felt the force on her hand disappear, and she saw a burly man grabbing the driver’s arm and flipping it outward. “Doing business requires mutual consent. There’s no such thing as forcing a deal!”

“It hurts! Let me go!” The driver was wailing in pain.

The burly man pushed the man forward, and the driver almost lost his balance. He got up and raised his fist, wanting to hit back, but when he saw the man’s body size and muscles, he immediately turned and ran away.

The danger was gone, and Vivian quickly thanked the man. “Thank you! How much is the fare to the city center? I’ll pay you 10 times the amount.”
