Chapter 47 - Cool and Confident. (1/2)

On the quiet rood, the only audible sound was the smooth fraction between the rubber tires and the asphalt road. She recited the words she had planned to say to Mr. Li to make him agree to her proposition. Jing Lihua glanced out through the glass and her eyes landed on the forests on both sides of the long road. Her eyebrows furrowed.

”Where are we headed for?”

”Mr. Li personal residence”

Jing Lihua leaned back against the leather seat. She had expected to be taken to his office. But at this unexpected occurrence, she didn't dare to object. She didn't want to offend that 'Devil' in any way when he could prove to be such an important ally!

When she glanced at the eerie silence outside, a slight uneasiness crept into her heart. An uneasiness that was specifically associated with this place. Why was it so? She had never been here before; she was sure of that.

”How long it is going to take to reach our destination?”

The driver didn't say anything. Jing Lihua tore away her gaze from the scenery outside and glanced at him. Noticing the suspicious glance, he quickly replied.

”Two hours Ms. Jing”

Something was wrong.

Two hours... She had already checked it. The distance was only one hour. The driver was obviously lying. She bit her lip and decided what to do. The first thought that occurred to her was to notify someone. She took out her cell.

No signals.

She glanced looked around the car. She could see that the driver in the front seat was looking at her through the mirror and noticing her every move. She wasn't stupid. She wouldn't act impulsively. Stealthily, she glided her hand along the door and reached out for the lock. She tried to open the door.

Locked. The driver had already noticed Jing Lihua's suspicion and locked the car doors.

”You are not taking me to Mr. Li are you?” Jing Lihua's voice was chilly. She couldn't escape from the situation without violence.

The driver struggled what to say.

”Ms. Jing, please be cooperative. Our Boss doesn't intend to harm you.”

”Which Boss?”

Silence.

As if she would believe that. If the person employed such a well thought method to kidnap her, his motive was everything but in her favor. He even knew she had an appointment with Mr. Li. The person behind it was obviously not a little character.

Jing Lihua put her hands into her handbag and tried to look for something. There wasn't anything applicable she could use. After much thought, she grabbed a handkerchief; her hands staying hidden inside her bag. She twisted it till it was rolled and hardened. With a quick movement, she jumped and put it around the driver's throat and pressed it till he couldn't breathe anymore. He chocked and struggled to move.

”Now listen to me carefully. Move to the corner and stop the car” Her voice was cold and calm. Her every move was confident and clear like she knew what to do and had done it countless times before.

The driver was shocked. He couldn't have guessed she would be bold enough to do that. Shouldn't a normal woman be scared witless in such a situation? Didn't his boss say she was a coward and he didn't have to worry about her much? He lost control of the car and struggled to get off the cloth from his neck that was suffocating him.

”Let go!”

The car swayed dangerously on the road once his hands tried to get her off. Ignoring the pressure on his neck, he quickly got his hold back on the steering wheel. Was this woman crazy? Didn't she know he was driving the car? And by suffocating him. she would be killing them both?

”Let go. We are both  going to die!”

”If you don't want that to happen, you'll do as I said”
