Without Me

The streets of a deserted city bathed in the night fog took on a magical appearance as the streetlamps' lights were surrounded by a hazy glow, making them look like a halos.

In the nighttime silence there was only the deafening roar of the car engine, breaking through the milk-thick mist.

The car slid with dizzying speed, ignoring the limited visibility. It went forward, leaving behind only the translucent fog vapor, which swirled in the air in a crazy dance after something disturbed her peace.

The driver of black Aston Martin pressed the gas pedal, squeezing the maximum speed from the engine, holding the steering wheel so much that it whitened his knuckles. He seemed absent when he lost more miles in the silence, not taking into account the danger of driving in such dangerous weather conditions.

At some point the driver turned the steering wheel to the right, while manipulating the gearbox and the handbrake. The front wheels of the vehicle braked sharply when the rear wheels turned in a daring drift.

Despite the bad weather conditions, Li Ye Han did not lose control over the steering wheel. He drove on, as if the dense fog was not the slightest challenge for him. He was driving exactly as if he had a GPS system in his head and he could know the way even with his eyes closed.

Li Ye Han stopped the car and sat motionless for a moment, remaining in total silence, staring at the curtain of impenetrable fog in front of him. Inside the car was only his accelerated breath.

The face of Li Ye Han was completely dark when a wave of inscrutable fury looted his senses after the words of Yao Xi.

He admitted that he had the blood of tens of people in his hands. He admitted that when it was necessary, he didn't hesitate to get rid of without any pity - especially those who threatened his family or position,

However Li Ye Han will never let anyone accuse him of something he never did.

Yao Xi's words filled with venom and eyes, in which there was not a bit of her old feelings for him, only undisguised hatred, made Li Ye Han for the first time in his life felt like striking a woman.

He closed his eyes, trying to shake off these uncontrollable and unwanted emotions, but as soon as Li Ye Han's eyelids closed, his mind filled with the cold and calculating face of Yao Xi when she told him to use an empty syringe to get rid of her once and for all.

And her indifferent attitude, when she waited with her eyes closed until he finished with her - completely showing no fear of him and the fact that he could actually do it, made the suppressed anger he was still ruling over, threatening to explode.

He had to leave from there. If he stayed there a second longer, he could not resist the temptation to wipe off that sarcastic smile from her icy face. He could strangle her with his b.a.r.e hands, not even worrying about his grandfather's anger.

Li Ye Han did not even know how he managed to get out of the ward. When he regained his senses, he was already in the interior of his own car, speeding forward, without a specific goal.

Now that he had somehow cleared his mind, he could calmly analyze what Yao Xi had said.

From her point of view, it seemed logical, suspecting Li Ye Han of her accident. For Yao Xi, apart from him, there were no other people who would benefit from her death. The problem was that Li Ye Han had nothing to do with it. And he could not guess who Yao Xi might have exposed so much to want her dead.

'Widower is much better than a divorcee man', suddenly Yao Xi's words in the hospital buzzed in the mind of Li Ye Han, as if she had shouted them directly into his ear.

Li Ye Han took the cell phone from the inside pocket of his jacket and dialed the number he needed. After two signals, a sleepy voice on the other side of the phone said: "Who is so bored with life to interrupt my precious dream?"

"Investigate the relationship between the Yao Xi accident three months ago and Ruo Yan," Li Ye Han ordered coldly. "I want to know everything, including the list of all driver's family members. You have to thoroughly examine all related people, without exception. I give you five days. "Without even waiting for an answer, Li Ye Han hung up, throwing the phone to the passenger seat.

On the other side of the phone, Long Fei was covered with cold sweat as he stared blankly at the phone screen, and his forehead was covered with black lines: "..."

"Damn you, you brat! " Long Fei's exasperated voice sounded in the bedroom, waking a woman lying in his bed.

" What happened? Why are you so loud? " There was a woman's sleepy voice and her hands wandered over Long Fei's b.a.r.e c.h.e.s.t, heading lower and lower.

A shiver of excitement ran over Long Fei's skin, awakening his original senses.

"Get back to sleep, I have to take care of something," he took the woman's hand from his six-pack, sighing heavily as he tried to tame the animal instincts that awakened inside him.

Li Ye Han did not lead the night life, enjoying the company of beautiful women, so he had no idea that most men at this time are devoting themselves to carnal needs in the arms of beautiful ladies.

Long Fei could only humbly follow the instructions, but he made a mental note to find a way at the earliest opportunity so that his boss would also experience the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of the gentle bodies of young girls. If he ever had this addictive taste, maybe he would not ring in the middle of the night, disturbing the precious time of Long Fei. He had to make a workaholic like Li Ye Han a man who would have other jobs on his mind than torture his employees in the middle of the night ...

Long Fei, with a curse on his lips, went to the first floor to his office, wearing a gray hoodie over his head. A moment later, he was sitting at the desk, in front of three monitors connected to the best in the world and undoubtedly the most expensive computer, the value of which could be compared to the value of a decent luxury apartment in a rich neighborhood. There were only two such super computers in the world. One had Long Fei and the other belonged to the creator of this space equipment - Li Ye Han.

Long Fei's fingers quickly brushed the computer's keyboard while his eyes closely followed the numbers and symbols appearing on the three monitors. He looked like a famous pianist, playing some moving sonata. Long Fei was completely focused - with no unnecessary thoughts in his head. He has never let Li Ye Han down. This time he was also going to give his best, especially since the time he had was extremely short. Much shorter than during all the previous missions that Li Ye Han gave him.

And that aroused the curiosity and interest of Long Fei. Knowing his friend, he would never admit his motives, so Long Fei had to give his best if he wanted to satisfy his curious and gossip nature.
