Chapter 304: Escape

Although his tone, intonation, and even expression were the same as Hongshang Guangsheng's, Li Zhong realized that the person standing on that floor was no longer the Hongshang chairman.

This is what I should take out. Although you will devour the chairman, I will definitely rescue him.

Li Zhong turned and said coldly, "This absolutely does not belong to you; you are merely a dead soul of 800 years."

"Then go die. Although in his memory he really likes you as a secretary, I don't like it; this world should be ruled by the strong, and weak humans don't deserve to live in this world."

Originally, looking at this body, Ancient Ots, after a long time, had wanted to let Li Zhong off easy, but since he was so ungrateful, he could only turn into dust of desire.

He casually waved his hand, and that gleam of gold light burst through the ceiling instantly, with several blades racing past under his control.

The gold light blades locked onto the running Li Zhong, aiming at his neck, heart, and legs to slash.

Ancient Ots stood still at a high place, quietly watching the scene of this woman about to be torn to pieces.

Just as the blade was about to take her life, only a hair's breadth from her fair skin, the blade suddenly halted in midair, then with a bang turned into countless golden specks of light.

Not to mention tearing her to pieces, not even her skin was broken.

"You really do like playing pranks, after all."

Ancient Ots looked surprised, sensing resistance from within his body, and paid no mind to continuing to suppress Hongshang Guangsheng's will.

This body, although it can help him recover strength quickly,

but the limitations are also very obvious; the owner of this body is a tough nut to crack.

Hongshang Guangsheng's desire is not much weaker than Ancient Ots's.

His family background is not much different from Huo Ye Yingsi's, and moreover, with the Hongshang Foundation that nearly rules the entire Dreamsee Town, he naturally also possesses an extraordinarily great desire.

Added to the bloodline inheritance, if it weren't for Ots's resurrection being delayed by several decades, Hongshang Guangsheng might himself have become Ots, personally fighting and wiping out these Greed.

Even though Hongshang Guangsheng has restored his body to peak condition, he may not be able to withstand Ancient Ots, but at least he can still deflect his attacks for now.

"Truly worthy of being my descendant, your will to resist is truly strong."

Ancient Ots felt his body sluggish and snorted, "You won't be able to struggle much longer; just obediently merge with me!"

His eyes flashed with a faint glow, and his sluggish movement instantly returned to normal.

However, he knows that before completely suppressing Hongshang's will, he will still occasionally pop up to cause trouble.

He turned his head to look at Li Zhong, who had vanished from sight, then turned and headed straight upward.

The memory hasn't been fully deciphered yet, but he wants to see who that person who transforms into Modern Ots in the memory actually is.

Li Zhong took out her own car key from her bag, which was inlaid with a gold relief.

This is the key to her red convertible sports car, also her dedicated vehicle in the group, and likewise a gift from the chairman for work use only.

At this moment, the blinding headlights tore through the night, and the convertible sports car lurched wildly down the already dim street,

her bare foot, painted with red nail polish, pressed the accelerator hard, speeding wildly down the road at extreme speed.

She finally burst out from underground, the streetlights illuminating her face, which was pale and tense, yet her expression was extremely resolute.

Although it's quitting time, and although she truly doesn't like eating cake, she also doesn't want to exchange the boss in this way.

Now she has also put the idea of quitting time out of her mind; if the boss doesn't come back this time, then she will truly be stuck in perpetual off-hours, with no chance to work again.

She took her phone out of her bag, placed it in the car's holder, and while gripping the steering wheel with all her strength, she connected via Bluetooth.

Jiang Xia, who was about to relax for a moment, answered the phone with doubt. "Something big has happened—the chairman has been possessed by Wang; he has something he wants me to give you," Li Zhong said bluntly.

"I understand. Go to the Multinational Cuisine Restaurant first; I'll be there right away."

Jiang Xia's steady voice dispelled the slight unease in Li Zhong's heart, letting her somewhat anxious heart gradually calm down.

"The ancient king, it seems history is about to reach its end."

Jiang Xia hung up the phone as usual, took the white car key from the entryway cabinet, and left the room.

Now the sky has darkened, the sun has sunk below the horizon; in just a short day, tremendous changes have occurred.

The rear tire of that lurching car screeched as it scraped the ground, and before the headlights were turned off, they briefly illuminated the sign of the Multinational Cuisine Restaurant—she had finally arrived.

The piercing light pierced through the closed wooden door, like some kind of infrared, striking exactly the face of Bai Shi Shizi, who was tidying the tables.

"Who is it!" Bai Shi Shizi tossed the rag over his shoulder, narrowed his eyes, and shouted.

Although by the time it's not considered late, she had closed the shop all day, so at this hour it's utterly impossible for anyone to come eat.

Could it be that he didn't see the "Closed" sign hanging on the shop door? Asleep upstairs, Anku suddenly felt his surroundings become extremely bright, the strong light stimulating his nerves.

It made him uncomfortable to open his eyes; clearly the room was dark, yet the bright vehicle lights from outside made it painfully glaring.

Anku gripped the railing tightly and jumped straight down from the upper bunk.

He walked to the window, peered out through the half-open window, and saw the culprit disturbing his sleep.

"Someone from Hongshang?" Anku looked dubiously at Li Zhong, who had jumped out of the red convertible.

Anku glanced for a few seconds, then turned to look at Huo Ye Yingsi sleeping soundly on the lower bunk, and directly slapped his face with his claw.

"Wake up, Yingsi, Yingsi!"

Anku's voice grew louder in Huo Ye Yingsi's ear, and finally he grabbed the collar of his pajamas and shouted loudly into his ear.

"What's wrong, Anku? I used the union today, I'm really tired; can I rest a bit?"

The drowsily sleeping Huo Ye Yingsi on the bed was awakened by Anku's angry roar.

Opening his eyes blearily, he saw Anku straddling him, the latter's right hand turned into a claw, pulling at his collar.

"The Hongshang people have come; it's that woman."

Anku watched as Huo Ye Yingsi rubbed his eyes and gradually became clear, then Anku released his collar and got off him.

"Is it Miss Li Zhong?" Huo Ye Yingsi asked.

"Yeah, she's the Hongshang secretary, and things don't look good."

"Little Anku, Yingsi, someone's come looking for you."

Bai Shi Shizi walked up the stairs, pushed open the concealed wooden door, and happened to see the two who had already changed clothes.

At that moment, a similar engine roar came from not far away; through the window, Anku saw that in the night, the white convertible sports car was speeding at an extreme pace.

In just a few seconds, the sports car with the accelerator floored surged like a white wave crashing onto the rocks.

The white supercar traced an almost perfect arc in the night sky and stopped exactly beside the red convertible with its headlights on.
