Chapter 389: Tit for Tat
"Drive! Drive! Get out of the way!"
Watching the half-wrecked reception car charge out from the thick smoke and ram straight toward them, the visual impact was no less than a dying enemy launching a suicide attack.
Izumaru Naomi's face turned pale with fright; she was completely stunned, immediately returning to the car, pulling the door shut, and roaring at the driver to get out of the way.
However, the driver's reaction was too slow to start the vehicle and evade.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the reception car slammed directly into the center of their vehicle, causing Izumaru Naomi's body to shake violently and her head to knock against the car door.
The tires screeched against the road, and the car, trembling violently, was pushed sideways across the road, slamming into a building by the roadside with a thud, becoming a sandwich between the reception car and the building.
Yet, the half-wrecked reception car did not stop there; Chen Che continued to stomp on the accelerator, the engine roaring and emitting acrid black smoke as the front of the car embedded itself inch by inch into the vehicle body.
Izumaru Naomi felt dizzy, yet she could still feel the car she was in getting smaller and flatter bit by bit.
"Clang!"
With another loud crash, Chen Che drove the front of the reception car straight into the building, while the lead car, squeezed in the middle, was flipped over, hit the building, bounced back, rolled off the roof of the reception car, and tumbled onto the road.
Seeing this scene, the people in the remaining two cars were stunned; in the script given to them, this part simply did not exist!
This was simply too unexpected, and too crazy!
However, what happened next made them feel even more of the madness of this young Special Commissioner from Xia.
As it turned out, after the lead car was flipped, the reception car backed out of the building and stopped by the roadside, its front aimed directly at the second and third cars.
"Vroom vroom vroom~~"
The humming of the engine started intermittently again, and both the second and third cars sensed something was wrong.
"No! Quick, reverse! Quick—"
Before the people in the car could finish their sentence, the reception car roared and charged up again.
"Screech—"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
With a perfect drift and tail-flick, the second and third cars were sent spinning three hundred and sixty degrees in the air one after another, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Having completed its task, the reception car stopped with another beautiful tail-flick, and the acrid smell of gasoline and burning tires rose up all at once.
Chen Che killed the engine and waved his hand to disperse the unpleasant smell in front of him, only to turn his head and find Ji Xuan staring at him intently.
"We can get out of the car now," Chen Che said to her.
Ji Xuan's chest heaved violently, clearly still shaken; she looked at Chen Che in disbelief, then looked around at the three overturned cars.
Izumaru Naomi and the others were currently crawling out of the flipped cars, each of them looking extremely disheveled.
"Special Commissioner, you... this is just too crazy!" Ji Xuan exclaimed sincerely.
Chen Che was unfazed: "Just a tit for tat."
A smile of excitement rose on Ji Xuan's pretty face: "When I first met you, I was afraid you were too young to handle this matter well, but now it seems I was wrong... your way of handling this... is just too satisfying!"
Chen Che raised an eyebrow and smiled: "This is only the beginning; believe me, there is more satisfying stuff to come."
After saying this, Chen Che got out of the car and walked toward Izumaru Naomi's lead car, with Ji Xuan following closely behind.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry! Miss Izumaru, I was so scared! I only thought about driving fast to escape, I'm sorry I accidentally hurt you all... Are you alright? I'm so sorry! My deepest apologies!"
Chen Che arrived beside Izumaru Naomi and spoke in an extremely exaggerated tone, paired with a panicked expression—it was simply perfect.
Izumaru Naomi's mouth twitched; she could currently be said to have nothing to do with the dignity and elegance she had when picking them up.
A large bump had formed on her forehead, her meticulously combed hair had become a messy clump, her proper kimono was covered in filth, and one of her shoes had been flung off somewhere.
What angered her most was that she still had to force a smile and apologize to Chen Che.
And looking at Chen Che... this bastard says he was scared, but could your acting be any more over-the-top? I can even see the crow's feet at the corners of your eyes when you smile!
"Special Commissioner Chen, my apologies. I didn't expect such a thing to happen; it is my dereliction of duty that you were frightened... Please rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, I guarantee I will not let those troublemaking gangsters go, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"
Izumaru Naomi said with a face full of apology and guilt.
Chen Che nodded, patting his chest, and said with a look of lingering fear: "I was truly scared to death, it's a good thing everyone is alright... Miss Izumaru has really worked hard."
"... I am ashamed."
Izumaru Naomi smiled stiffly and immediately contacted someone using her communication device: "An accident happened here, send a few new cars over."
"Special Commissioner, please wait a moment, someone will come to pick us up immediately," Izumaru Naomi said.
Chen Che asked with a worried face: "There won't be any more accidents, will there?"
Izumaru Naomi said: "I assure you, there absolutely won't be."
Chen Che nodded earnestly and deliberately grabbed Izumaru Naomi's injured arm: "Mm, I still trust Miss Izumaru; with you by my side, I won't be afraid anymore!"
Izumaru Naomi's lips turned white from the pain, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, yet she still had to smile and say: "It is my honor to be trusted by you."
Watching this scene, Ji Xuan silently bit her lip, trying hard to hold back her laughter, and the look in her eyes toward Chen Che held a bit more admiration and appreciation.
"Ah... I can't take it anymore! Naomi, I want to shoot this bastard!"
A sniper's irritable roar came through the earpiece.
Izumaru Naomi, while smiling at Chen Che, raised a finger to tap her earpiece, communicating with the sniper using a special signal.
"Calm down! He has likely already discovered you... If you shoot him now and get caught, the nature of the situation will be different!"
"But this bastard is too infuriating! He isn't even trying to act convincingly!"
"Consider it a lesson... who would have thought he would be so insidious and cunning at such a young age."
"No! I can't stand it; later, during the meeting at the hotel, I must find an opportunity to take a shot!"
Inside a Japanese-style wooden building.
Yamamoto Tomoya put down the communicator and sat before the tea table with a gloomy face.
Saito Hiroki watched him silently and asked: "What? Is the plan not going smoothly?"
Yamamoto Tomoya rubbed his teacup and said in a deep voice, "After Chen Che encountered the gang attack, he drove his car and flipped three vehicles, including the one Izumaru Naomi was in."
Saito Hiroki opened his drooping eyelids and said with some surprise, "To be so aggressive... this kid is a bit interesting."
"It is interesting indeed. This show of force wasn't used on him, but was instead used by him on our own people!"
Yamamoto Tomoya breathed heavily, his face full of displeasure.
Saito Hiroki said, "In our plan, this was originally just a test... although it was a bit messy, fortunately, it tested what this kid's temperament is like. For the upcoming meeting at the hotel, we can change our strategy and approach."
Saito Hiroki took a sip of tea and asked, "By the way, are you really not planning to see him?"
"I am not."
Yamamoto Tomoya shook his head, "Watanabe is my trusted aide; him going to see him is already giving that kid enough face."
"With Watanabe's personality, and with this incident having just happened, aren't you afraid Watanabe might cause some trouble?"
"As long as it doesn't affect the subsequent plan, let them do whatever they want. In any case, that kid is already a dead man... as long as they aren't caught with evidence, wanting to vent some anger is of no great consequence."
