Chapter 698: Chapter 697: Sudden Car Accident_1 Chapter 698: Chapter 697: Sudden Car Accident_1 “Now, the entire circle of noble families in the Imperial City is waiting to laugh at our Huo Family. Grandfather’s death, elder cousin’s death, caused our Huo Family to fall from our topmost status completely overnight. Who knows how many people are behind our backs, mocking us!”

The character he displayed earlier was cultivated since childhood, as a child, he, Huo Beijiang, in the entire Imperial City, has always been domineering in the Four Nine City. With Grandfather backing him up, he could beat up whoever he wanted to, but what about now?

Even a small Lu family, Lu Dongxin, dares to threaten him and dream to tread on him.

Still truly think that his Huo Family has no one left.

Ning Di consoles him with worry, “as long as you’re here, no one can bully the Huo Family.”

“Hmph!” Huo Beijiang’s handsome face showed a nonchalant look that was both smiling yet not, which was terrifyingly alarming in such a gloomy and bizarre rainy night.

In the city suburbs, the mid-mountain villa district

This here is the newest batch of villas built after the Imperial City entered the nineties, imitating the styles from Hong Kong and Taiwan. In the recent two years, the mid-mountain villas have been hyped up to be more expensive than the quadrangle houses by the Forbidden City.

Rich people liked to run here to buy houses, one for privately conducting some errands which was indeed very convenient. Second, owning a mid-mountain villa was also a symbol of status.

Although there are many high-end residential districts developed in the city area, there are no locations better than the mid-mountain villa.

Huo Kewei and Zuo Xinyao had bought two linked villas here.

These two people’s businesses were very diverse and extensive, they often had many social obligations, often bringing back a group of wastrels back to the villa for wild parties at midnight.

At this moment, these two people just entered the villa district in their car when Zuo Xinyao sensed something was amiss.

“What’s wrong?” Huo Kewei asked him doubtfully upon seeing his grim expression.

“We’re being followed.” Saying this, Zuo Xinyao fiercely turned the steering wheel, making the car turn a 180 degree on the mountain path, and barely missed colliding with a black sedan car that was ascending the mountain.

The mountain road was both steep and winding, this sudden turn was performed just by the edge of the cliff, with even part of the wheel hanging outside.

Huo Kewei broke into a cold sweat.

Although he usually parties wildly with a group of wastrels, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know how to restrain himself. Having seen such scenes from an early age, he developed alcohol tolerance and never truly got drunk.

Startled by Zuo Xinyao’s sudden move, he instantly sobered up. At the same time, his body reflexively clenched the handrails and leaned back.

“Damn it! My father died in a plane crash, if this young master dies in a car race at night, that would become a joke for the whole Imperial City.” He muttered under his breath.

Isn’t it well known that Huo Dongfeng’s best skill was piloting airplanes, while his best skill was driving cars!

“Damn it, who hates me so much?”

However, Zuo Xinyao who was driving was extremely calm. His hands on the steering wheel were steady as Mount Tai, though up close, one could see that his devilishly handsome face was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

The car had just rounded a bend when the mountain mashed suddenly triggered a landslide, with large rocks rolling down the mountain passing over the winding mountain road, to fall into the base of the cliff. The noise caused the entire mid-mountain villa district to be shaken.

Seeing the car they had just missed from the rear mirror parked not far from the landslide, Zuo Xinyao’s heart skipped a beat.

He initially thought the car that was following him was suspicious, so in his haste to get rid of it he made a sudden U-turn strategy. Looking at it now, it was completely wrong! If it weren’t for the chasing car causing confusion, and continue forward, they would surely have been hit by the landslide and the car would fall into the base of the cliff without a trace left.
