Haino Zenji accelerated to maximum speed, his driving skills allowing him to quickly create distance from the pursuing vehicles.
One car recognized his intention and matched his speed, overtaking him and suddenly swerving horizontally, about to collide with Haino Zenji’s car.
Haino Zenji abruptly turned the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve, and the intense impact sent them crashing through the guardrail and sliding down the steep slope.
Braking hard was futile against the steep gradient. A massive tree appeared ahead, and in the next moment, they were about to crash into it—
In that critical moment, Haino Zenji’s first thought was to protect Andorli, but Andorli surprisingly covered his body with her own.
Haino Zenji had no time to push her away. A loud crash came from the front as they hit the tree!
He felt her soft body covering him. After a violent impact, everything fell silent.
Haino Zenji held her tightly. After the collision, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene before him twisted his heart.
To protect him from injury, Andorli had used her body to shield him. The violent impact caused her head to strike the windshield, rendering her unconscious.
Worse, blood was seeping from her temple.
Haino Zenji quickly carried her out of the car, laying her on the grass, and immediately called for help: “I need an ambulance—”
“Idiots! All of them are idiots!” Nakatani Yuka sat in a business suite’s chaise lounge, screaming furiously at her subordinates.
Damn! All useless fools! She had clearly instructed them to wait until Andorli was alone, but they stupidly chose to act when she was with Haino Zenji.
“All of you are pigs!” Nakatani Yuka cursed, so angry she wanted to destroy the entire suite. “I specifically told you not to act when Haino Zenji was present. Not only was he there, but you almost got him killed!”
“We’re very sorry, Ms. Nakatani!”
“You should all commit seppuku to apologize!” Nakatani Yuka was enraged, pacing back and forth on the luxurious carpet like a completely provoked lioness.
“Yes!” Five men lined up and bowed deeply to show their remorse.
Nakatani Yuka’s mood could only be described as depressed and irritated. She didn’t want to harm Haino Zenji—he was her future husband. What if something happened to him?
