Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The next morning, the sky was overcast with a bit of smog, and the air quality wasn't very good.

It's probably almost winter; autumn and spring always seem to come and go in a flash.

The cold wind blowing into the thin suit was still a bit chilly, even though I was wearing a thin sweater underneath, it was still drafty.

Tang Junyao got up very early today because she didn't plan to ride her bike to the company; it would be too conspicuous. She hadn't parked her bike in the parking lot last night, so she wasn't planning to drive today anyway.

After parking her car, she walked several hundred meters outside the residential area before she was able to flag down a car.

This upscale residential area really doesn't need taxis.

As soon as I got in the car, the driver asked curiously, "Young lady, how come you got a taxi when you live here? You're lucky today, a white-collar worker just took a taxi to help his boss drive, and you got in right after he got out of the car."

Tang Junyao thought to herself: No wonder we didn't have to wait for the car today.

She politely replied, "My car is broken." She couldn't very well say that she deliberately didn't drive and that someone was trying to harm her.

The driver, with an "I knew it" look on his face, said, "No wonder. I knew it. The people living here are all wealthy and powerful. They don't need to take taxis. They only drop people off, they don't need to be picked up."

She didn't react immediately and asked, "Uncle, do you often bring people here?"

Driver: "Yeah, there are a lot of rich kids around here. They're always drunk at night. That's how rich people are. It's not surprising for us touts."

The driver was quite talkative, and asked, "Young lady, did you also buy a house around here?"

She was very grateful that the driver's mind was still pure and he didn't feel like she was being kept or a mistress. "My relatives live here."

The driver had an "I see" look on his face again. After chatting for so long without asking where we were going, he said, "Where are we going? You have a nice personality, young lady. It's quite comfortable chatting with you. I forgot to ask you where we're headed."

"Imperial Capital Hospital"

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror. "You're sick. I'm telling you, you're young now, you can't overwork yourselves."

Tang Junyao: "........." Isn't he a bit too talkative? He's even better at finding things to say than Su Xue. It's early in the morning, and she doesn't really want to say much.

"I am a doctor."

The driver looked at them with admiration, expressing envy for these educated people, saying that he was uneducated and could only earn money through physical labor.

She listened the whole time, probably because the driver was bored with driving every day and wanted to chat with someone.

As she approached the hospital, she noticed a motorcycle closely following behind in her rearview mirror, its speed increasing rapidly. A mocking smile crept across her lips. "Quite fast," she thought. "They've already put their plan into action today, just like last night. They really can't wait for her to be killed."

She was quite clever; she waited for her prey on her usual route to the hospital.

Tang Junyao glanced at the person following her and said to the driver in the driver's seat, "Uncle, drive towards a more populated area, don't take that main road."

There are two roads leading to the Imperial Capital Hospital. One is a less crowded road, and the other is a very crowded commercial street, but it's also very congested, so it's not a good place to go.

"Oh, it's more congested over there. Don't you all go to work on this road? People only go there to shop." The driver was surprised.

But she couldn't tell the driver that someone wanted to harm her; what if the man wasn't mentally strong enough?

"I'll give you extra money, just drive at the fastest speed." It's a waste of money.

Upon hearing about the extra charge, the driver, who had just made a big fare early in the morning, immediately perked up. "Alright, young lady, sit tight. I've been a professional driver for 25 years."

She sighed and said, "Uncle, hurry up! The tiger's already at your heels!"

However, the driver's skills were truly impressive. He drifted at the turn, made a U-turn, and immediately accelerated forward. The motorcycles behind him saw the taxi speeding up and immediately followed suit.

The car drove further and further into the downtown area, while the motorcycle was blocked by other vehicles after the green light, and could only look on helplessly.

Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, she gave the driver 300 yuan, and he happily thanked her.

Su Xue stood at the front desk chatting as always, her face full of smiles, though it was unclear which young heartthrob she was talking about.

Seeing her best friend come in, Su Xue raised her chin and asked gesturingly, "What happened today? Why are you half an hour late? It's almost time."

Tang Junyao is usually the most diligent at work, but the most dawdling when she leaves work, which Su Xue always complains about.

They also added a side note: "If you're not proactive about leaving get off work, you've got something wrong with your brain."

The receptionist habitually called her Dr. Tang, greeted her, and went straight to her office. Su Xue glanced at her watch; there were still 15 minutes until work, so she followed her into the office.

Tang Junyao did not answer Su Xue's question, as there were too many people around to answer.

Just as I was about to speak, Su Xue added with a gossipy look, "So late tonight, is it because the new bed has some kind of sleep-inducing magic? Or, hmm?"

Just from those two "hmm" sounds, Tang Junyao knew her best friend had a lot of nonsense going on in her head. "What do you think? Do you think I'm lacking a man or he's lacking a woman?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Su Xue said with certainty, "I still think you're lacking a man."

Tang Junyao was truly grateful and didn't bother to continue this pointless conversation with her.

"I ran into some trouble this morning. Do you have any cheap sports cars in your garage? I need one that accelerates really fast."

She was certain that these people were the work of her scumbag father and Chen Lan. She didn't ride her motorcycle in the morning because she was afraid of getting hurt. It was a keepsake left to her by her grandfather, and she cherished it.

Upon hearing that she wanted a car, Su Xue assumed she was going back to her old ways and panicked, "What are you doing? You're not thinking of going back to..."

"You're overthinking it. I won't go. I promised Grandpa I wouldn't go again. It's just that a few people chased my taxi this morning, and I want to drive it back myself tonight."

Su Xue's expression became even more tense. She had completely forgotten about what had happened 15 minutes ago, and hurriedly asked, "What is it? Tell me quickly."

"Don't be so nervous, it's nothing. It's just that my younger brother sent me a message last night telling me to be careful. I think it's because my father didn't get any benefits from me a few days ago, so he took action. I didn't drive this morning, I took a taxi, and then I was chased. I told the driver to take a detour through the city center."

Su Xue was confident in her driving skills, but still didn't want her to take any risks. "How about I take you home? At least Uncle Tang wouldn't dare touch my car."

"Big sister, what are you thinking? What are we in? We're doctors. Do you think the number of times we both don't work night shifts at the same time is very small? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Xue thought to herself, "Oh, I forgot about that. I'll send a few bodyguards to take you back. They'll stay by your side during this time."

She took a deep breath. "Didn't your bodyguards spar with me last time? They're not as good as me. Who's protecting whom?"

Su Xue: "............"

Seeing her best friend's helpless expression, she immediately said bluntly, "Alright, stop wasting your brain cells. Just give me a car. I can handle those few people. You have one minute and 35 seconds. Are you sure you can get to your office before your department's rounds?"

Su Xue: "Oh my god, why didn't you say so sooner?" She replied as she ran, "I'll arrange it for you after I finish checking the rooms."
