Chapter 489 - Bullet-proof Vest (2/2)

“That’s enough. You’ve done enough already,” Su Li chided, eyeing him with a concerned look.

“Stop it, Xiao Luo. Leon is indeed a jerk, but he has been punished enough,” Shen Qingyan said. She joined Su Li in an effort to stop him.

Xiao Luo smiled and said, “Well…fine!” He then glanced at Su Li nonchalantly and added, “I’m not the one who got groped anyway.”

Su Li blushed again and let go of Xiao Luo as she stared at him angrily.

They both walked towards Leon, and he immediately felt terrified. There was nothing but fear in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Luo.

“Mr. Leon, so you had a bullet-proof vest on you. Seems like it’s a top-cla.s.s quality vest too.”

Xiao Luo was suddenly relieved when he found out that Leon was wearing a layer of protective black innerwear underneath his s.h.i.+rt, which absorbed most of the impact. He still managed to break one of Leon’s ribs, but it would not be life-threatening.

“I…I am a candidate who could inherit the entire property and business of the Kennedy family, so my personal safety is of utmost importance…” Leon explained with much difficulty as he tried to endure the pain in his chest.

“Sounds about right. Your country allows its citizen to own guns legally. If someone plots to harm you, it makes sense to wear a bullet-proof vest when you’re out,” Xiao Luo said.

“Yeah…that’s right…”

Leon showed a hideous smile that looked worse than a crying face. It was an utter humiliation to be so servile after getting beaten up.

“That’s enough then. Mr. Leon, go to the hospital at once, and don’t die!” Xiao Luo decided to let him go since he was quite lucky.

Leon’s two subordinates were very grateful, and they escorted Leon away from the scene as quickly as possible.

When they were leaving, Leon cried, and he had been so unlucky today. On top of losing three hundred million, he was thoroughly beaten up and could not even afford to be mad about it. He had never experienced such a humiliating day ever in his entire life. At that moment, all he was thinking about was to get out of Hua nation as soon as possible, and he had no intention to date Su Li anymore.

“Did Mr. Leon cry?”

Shen Qingyan heard a faint cry and asked curiously.

“It’s better to let it out. He has gone through a lot today.” Xiao Luo said, then he flashed an innocent smile.

Su Li stared at him angrily as she felt he was the primary cause of this entire farce but was suddenly acting innocent.

BOOM~

A clap of thunder rumbled as dark clouds formed over the sky, indicating that it would soon rain heavily.

Xiao Luo looked up and said, “It’s gonna rain soon.”

“Seems it’ll be a heavy downpour.” Shen Qingyan opined.

“Stop wasting time, and let’s go back now.” Su Li said.

Just as Xiao Luo drove Shen Qingyan’s Jaguar out of North Hengshan Resort Hotel, it started to rain heavily. It was a heavy downpour, and although it was no gale, the sheer magnitude of the rain was still challenging. The rain caused a veil of white mist to form, and that made driving hazardous.

“Drive slower, and be careful!” Su Li reminded.

The visibility in such a heavy downpour was terrible, and the road slippery. No one could afford to be careless even when they were excellent drivers.

Xiao Luo slowed down and activated the windscreen wipers, but visibility was still low. He could only drive at thirty miles per hour, which felt like a snail’s pace for a car such as this. But for the sake of everyone’s safety, that could not be helped. And since n.o.body was in a rush, there was no need for speeding.
