Chapter 2440: Chapter 2449: The Afternoon’s Perilous Ordeal

He tightly bit his lip, his eyes still lingering with the panic from this afternoon’s car chase.

At first, he noticed a car following them from behind.

Uncle Huo initially thought it was someone The Neighbor Old Wang hired to protect him in secret, but then, as they continued driving, the other car suddenly crashed into theirs. Uncle Huo dodged it perilously; they realized those were not Old Wang’s men.

Following a thrilling chase, he first discovered the opponent was tracking them via the location on their car. He decisively damaged the location device. He turned off both his mobile phone and Uncle Huo’s phone, instructing Uncle Huo to drive towards the densely populated city center.

Unexpectedly, the pursuers were relentless. They traveled past the city center and took another round, and on reaching the highway towards the suburbs, the opponent began firing at them with abandon.

The car’s glass shattered, and Uncle Huo’s arm was injured.

Afterwards, to avoid the bullets from behind, the car swerved erratically; it was at that moment his knee got scraped.

They went through considerable efforts to employ wit and courage to shake off the pursuers, then Uncle Huo took him to a safe motel to hide for a while.

After that, Hass found them.

He was brought back to WE Hotel, where he saw The Neighbor Old Wang.

Baby Chi is only ten years old; claiming not to be scared is a lie. No matter how tough he usually is, it’s usually online, or at school.

He grew up in an environment different from Li Beijue.

Baby Chi never received the Li family’s education.

Until he was six, he lived with Chi Enen, leading a simple life of ordinary citizens. Their lives didn’t entail car chases or shootings, he never imagined encountering such scenarios.

Not breaking down or crying like typical ten-year-olds considering the circumstances is already quite composed.

Even so, he was actually frightened by an experience he’s never had before.

But amid the shock and before he could recover, what concerned him most was Chi Enen. He feared that his woman finding out would scare her more, make her cry.

Compared to the danger faced this afternoon, he’s more afraid of his woman crying.

Hence, he really didn’t want Li Beijue to tell Chi Enen about his situation.

Li Beijue tied a bow tie on his knee, pulled down the torn pants leg, calmly saying, "All done."

"Oh." Baby Chi slowly started to feel the pain this moment.

The alcohol stinging the peeled skin on his knee hurt sharply; mindful of his pride, he didn’t want to show it in front of Li Beijue, he bit back the pain and still remembered to urge Li Beijue, "Don’t tell my woman about my situation, I’m afraid she’ll worry."

"If you’re scared she’ll worry, then don’t run around recklessly next time." Li Beijue’s words were blunt but he tossed his phone to him, saying, "You didn’t go back, Chi Enen called your phone but couldn’t reach you, she’s probably still awake now. Call her back so she doesn’t stay up all night. I’ll have new clothes sent over for you."

Baby Chi watched him stand up, his tall figure was immensely reassuring. His anxiety lessened considerably, he wasn’t that scared anymore; as he relaxed he felt like teasing Li Beijue for his low EQ, obviously concerned but acting all fierce. Yet he glanced at the medical kit on the tea table, pursed his lips, picked up the mobile phone, and hobbled next to make a call to Chi Enen.
