Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 590

According to past experience and to ensure that everything goes smoothly, leaving the hotel together thirty to forty minutes in advance is enough to ensure that everything goes well and that you arrive at your destination safely and on time.

However, He Hongshen suddenly asked at this time: "Are all the vehicles ready?" There was a subtle hint of urgency hidden in his calm tone.

Ye Deli quickly responded: "Don't worry, Mr. He, the vehicle has already been arranged." He had his signature confident smile on his face, and his words showed full confidence.

Ye Han has always been impatient and has trouble keeping calm.

He looked anxious, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He said solemnly, "We can't take this lightly. This batch of application materials is of great importance. If the vehicle breaks down on the way, even if it is only delayed for a few minutes, it is very likely that the deadline for this application will be missed. Once this deadline is missed, many subsequent plans will be passive, and the preparations and efforts made before may be wasted. In my opinion, we..."

After being reminded by Ye Han, Ye Deli, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help but feel nervous.

Prior to this, the opponent's methods were so ruthless that in order to disrupt this important matter, they sent people to assassinate Ho Ying-tung and Ho Yu-chu twice.

In the first assassination attempt, the killers sneaked into the vicinity of Ho Ying-Tong's residence under the cover of night and tried to strike when he was out in a car. Fortunately, the Ho family had tight security measures and discovered and repelled the killers in time.

The second time, they targeted He Yuzhu and ambushed him on his way to a business negotiation. The scene was extremely dangerous for a while, but fortunately, He Yuzhu had capable bodyguards who saved him from danger.

And that’s not all. The other party actually resorted to such a sinister and cunning trick as cutting off the source of funds and kidnapped the key person in charge of this matter - Lawyer Lubadu.

Lawyer Lubadu holds a lot of core information and key bargaining chips. His disappearance has brought the advancement of his affairs to a standstill.

Fortunately, their side was smart and sharp enough. With his extraordinary wisdom, He Yuzhu traced the whereabouts of lawyer Lubadu before his disappearance and found some clues.

With the courage and bravery of the team members, they successfully rescued lawyer Lubadu in a hidden warehouse and successfully cracked the two ruthless tricks carefully planned by the other party.

Now, the bidding process is nearing its end, with only two precious hours left before the crucial moment of finalizing the icon.

Ye Deli secretly put himself in their shoes and thought, if he were in the shoes of his opponents and saw them moving steadily towards a successful bid, how could he be willing?

As he thought about this, Ye Deli felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, and a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, just like the increasingly tense situation at the moment.

He knew very well that his opponents had been forced into a desperate situation, and the last trick they could use was undoubtedly to set up numerous insurmountable obstacles on their way to the Governor's Mansion, putting them in a difficult situation and preventing them from reaching their destination on time.

Among the many despicable means, the opponent is very likely to go all out and deliberately cause a car accident.

Those henchmen who had been lying in wait in the dark might drive their vehicles and, when the time was right, suddenly crash into their cars. Or they might rush out from the side to create chaos and panic, or they might rear-end collisions in front to completely block the road.

In this way, their progress will be ruthlessly blocked and their bidding plans will be in jeopardy.

After receiving Ye Han's reminder, Ye Deli's heart suddenly tightened, as if he was grabbed by an invisible big hand.

He thought to himself that this matter was much more difficult than he had imagined. This seemingly careful and detailed plan was actually treading on thin ice, and the slightest mistake would lead to a complete failure.

At this moment, all kinds of terrible scenes emerged uncontrollably in his mind: on a busy road, there was a long line of vehicles ahead, and their car was stuck in it, unable to move; or while driving, the car made unusual noises without warning, suddenly broke down, and collapsed in the middle of the road; even more terrifying, a vehicle of unknown origin deliberately rammed at high speed, causing a tragic car accident.

These scenes flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope, sending chills down his spine.

So, he frowned and said worriedly, "If we encounter a traffic jam on the way, and are stuck in that airtight traffic jam, or even if the car suddenly breaks down and stops in the middle of the road like a piece of scrap metal, or if the other party deliberately rams into us and causes a car accident, then it will be really troublesome and the whole plan will be ruined! In my opinion, we'd better set off immediately!"

Ye Deli's tone was full of urgency. In this race against time, every minute was as precious as gold. Every second of delay would increase the danger.

Hearing this, He Hongshen looked calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a relaxed smile, and responded in a soothing tone: "Old Ye, you are a well-known racing expert in this circle. In the past, no matter how difficult the road conditions were, you could easily solve them. For example, the last time there was a traffic jam in Central, the streets were jammed with cars and everyone was scratching their heads in anxiety, but you relied on your superb driving skills to dodge left and right, and shuttled through the gaps between the cars like a nimble bird, which stunned everyone. Even if there is a little traffic jam today, I am 100% confident in your skills!"

He Hongshen tried to use such light-hearted and humorous words to break the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the car and let the tense nerves relax a little.

However, Ye Deli was not amused by the joke at all. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, and the expression on his face was still serious as if facing a great enemy.

He looked straight ahead and said firmly, "Hong Shen, this is not something to be taken lightly. We have an important mission this time, and every step cannot afford to go wrong. Setting off one minute earlier will give us more security. No one can predict what unexpected situations may occur on the way. If we really miss out on important matters because of this delay, we will regret it forever."

Ye Deli knew clearly in his mind that this mission was of great importance and involved complicated interests. Any slight mistake could lead to a series of unpredictable consequences. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off at all and only wanted to embark on the journey as soon as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the mission.

Seeing Ye Deli's firm attitude, He Hongshen frowned slightly, his eyes stayed on Ye Deli's face for a moment, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

He was well aware of the importance of this trip and that every decision would determine the success or failure of the project.

After thinking for a while, he nodded slowly, his tone calm and firm: "Well, in that case, let's pack it up quickly. This bid document is of great importance, so we should make an extra copy just in case. Although it will take more time, it is worth it. Once the bid document is completed, we will set off immediately without delay."

It turned out that due to a temporary decision to prepare an extra bid in case of emergency, the staff were busy with typesetting, proofreading, and binding, and no mistakes were allowed in any link, so they would have to wait a little longer.

In this way, everyone was trapped in the conference room of the International Hotel, waiting anxiously like ants on a hot pan.

The air seemed to freeze, and every passing second was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, causing agony.

Outside the window, no one is in the mood to appreciate the bustling street scene of Hong Kong at the moment, and the tense atmosphere is shrouded like a haze.

Finally, the clock hands moved slowly to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, with only one hour left before the deadline for bid submission.

This hour is like the sword of Damocles hanging over my head.

No one could contain their anxiety any longer. The harsh sound of chairs being moved filled the room. Everyone stood up and hurried out of the International Hotel.

The driver was already on standby, the car engine roared, and in a moment it sped towards the Governor's Palace at lightning speed, the wheels kicking up the dust on the ground, as if to leave all the anxiety and uneasiness of the journey behind.

At that time, the air at the scene seemed to be frozen by tension, making it hard to breathe.

Three black cars were lined up in a row, like cheetahs ready to strike.

The car leading the way had a low roar of its engine, as if announcing its mission as a trailblazer; its body lines were cool, and it seemed ready to break through unknown obstacles at any time.

The crowd surrounded the important lawyer and quickly got into the second car.

The lawyer looked solemn, holding tightly in his hands important documents that were crucial to success or failure. The document bag seemed to be carrying a heavy burden.

To ensure that nothing goes wrong, the two cars in the front and back follow closely like loyal guards, with the car bodies almost connected end to end, striving to create an airtight protective barrier.

But the reality is that despite mobilizing all the connections, we still haven't been able to find a bulletproof car.

If there were a vehicle that was sturdy and bulletproof, everyone would be more at ease and would be more confident when facing unknown dangers.

The car engine let out a deafening roar, and the powerful force was like a surging wave, pushing the car body forward rapidly like an arrow shot from a bow.

The convoy was like a giant steel dragon, speeding through the city streets, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Before long, the convoy arrived at a busy intersection at lightning speed.

There is a lot of traffic here, with vehicles of all kinds interweaving and pedestrians flowing. The hurried footsteps and noisy voices are intertwined, outlining a prosperous and bustling urban scene.

However, behind this seemingly ordinary and lively scene, there seemed to be a pair of eyes hidden in the dark peeking, and a barely perceptible tension was spreading quietly in the air like an invisible thread, making people feel vaguely uneasy, as if it was a depressing and dull prelude to a storm...

However, just when everyone thought that everything would go smoothly and that this broad road that seemed to have been paved especially for their journey would be smooth all the way to the end, something unexpected happened.

On the street that had been flashing green lights all the way, a red light suddenly lit up like a ghost, like an invisible but powerful hand, blocking their progress.

The three cars speeding on the road were completely defenseless, as if they were cast under a powerful immobilization spell.

The front of the car suddenly sank, and the wheels started a violent struggle with the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound that seemed to cut through the night sky. The sound continued to echo in the eerily silent streets, startling the birds perched on the roadside and making the hearts of everyone in the car suddenly hang in the balance.

In the blink of an eye, on this afternoon when the streets should have been bustling with traffic but were inexplicably depressing, an unsettling silence permeated the street.

Everyone in the car was concentrating, their eyes seemed to be glued to the traffic light, staring at it without blinking, their hearts beating violently in their chests, hoping that the green light would come on so that they could continue on the road ahead, which might lead to an unknown outcome.

At this critical moment, a dilapidated van suddenly emerged from the dust of time like a ghost. The body of the van was covered with mottled rust, just like a battle armor full of holes after being baptized by war.

It suddenly jumped out from the side of the street without any warning, and rushed over like a wild horse with a ruthless spirit as if it had no regard for life or death.

The engine of the van seemed to be injected with crazy power, and the roar was deafening, just like a wild beast that had been trapped for a long time and finally broke free from the cage and was extremely angry, roaring hysterically and rushing towards the predetermined direction without any regard for anything.

When the van got closer, a horrifying scene appeared without warning.

On the street, the original noise seemed to be instantly grasped by an invisible big hand, and it suddenly became quiet, leaving only the rough roar of the van's engine.

Before anyone could react, the dirty, muddy window of the van slowly lowered, and several black gun barrels with a cold metallic luster, like long-awaited poisonous snakes, suddenly stretched out from the window, spitting out their tongues.

A cold light flashed on each gun barrel, and the cold muzzle was like the mouth of a devil ready to devour its prey, emitting a strong breath of death.

In an instant, the air around seemed to be frozen, and the tense atmosphere spread rapidly like a tide, making people feel stuffy in the chest and almost suffocated. It seemed that the whole world was shrouded in this sudden danger and fell into desperate silence.

As soon as He Yuzhu got on the car, the aura around him instantly became restrained, just like a dormant hunter.

Relying on his innate special abilities that are different from ordinary people, he quickly began to perceive the surrounding environment.

His eyes were like finely tuned searchlights, his cold gaze sweeping from the front seat to the back seat, and then through the window glass, scanning the streets outside the car inch by inch, not missing any dark corners or subtle movements.

His mind was as tense as a bowstring about to break, and every nerve ending was like an alarm device ready to go off.

However, although this special ability is magical, it also has limitations that cannot be ignored.

The range he can detect is only a circular area with himself as the center and a radius of only about ten meters.

In the treacherous and dangerous Hong Kong business world, every step at this moment may lead to a trap. The detection range of ten meters is too cramped. Facing the hidden arrows that may attack from all directions at any time, it seems stretched.

On this seemingly ordinary day of business negotiations, He Yuzhu's eyes were always scanning his surroundings sharply.
