Chapter 485 - Accident
The Empress's Gigolo
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The young man with glasses bowed slightly and asked the old man, âBoss, do you really want to do this?â
âGo and make the arrangements. Naturally, in a business, there business methods will be used. Outside of business, there other sets of methods will be used,â the old man said. âSince the other party is vicious and merciless, you canât give him a chance to retaliate.â
âYes.â
âI need it to be an accident!â
âUnderstood.â
The old man nodded slightly. Since the other party was vicious and merciless, they shouldnât blame him for acting the same way.
To be able to attain his current status, how could it be possible for him to remain as pure and clean as a white lotus?
It was just that in general, regardless of what everyone did, they still played within the rules.
However, at this point in time, rules werenât needed anymore.
â¦
âWhatâs happening? Did something happen?â
Ren Baqian returned to his room, saw five missed calls from Yang Sen, and thought to himself, Could there be some turn of events?
âIndeed, every time you take action, you cause big trouble.â Yang Sen sighed from the other end of the phone call.
âIs that person a big shot?â Ren Baqian wondered out loud. Could there be anyone who was more important than Ren Baqian? Currently, he was the ambassador who connected the two worlds and was also a Man Wheel expert! Furthermore, he also had a bunch of Earth Wheel experts as his subordinates.
âHeâs quite a big shot, and his background isnât simple at all. Most importantly, what he has in his hands.â After that, Yang Sen told Ren Baqian about that personâs identity.
âWang Zhi? Top 100 wealthiest?â Ren Baqian was astonished.
Ren Baqian had really never heard of this name before. Even though the other partyâs reputation wasnât as eye-catching as the internet giants like Uncle Ma, Wang Zhi was still pretty influential in reality.
Wang Zhi not only owned the largest oil company in China, but also undertook several oil and gas projects in the nation. More importantly, he also owned something very significant: 40% of the shares of an American shale oil company.
Under that companyâs land, a large oil field had just been discovered. According to the market price, it was now worth 900 billion US dollars.
Even if this oil field didnât completely belong to the shale oil company, Wang Zhi would definitely receive part of the profits.
Although this news had yet to be announced, in this era where energy was most crucial, Wang Zhiâs importance was definitely not low when he had this trump card. Moreover, he had a privately-owned oil company as well, which further indicated his importance.
As a result, although Yang Sen had already contacted Wang Zhi through intermediaries, it was hard to say how effective this would be. In particular, Wang Zhi didnât say anything and didnât do anything. Yang Sen couldnât have directly revealed the importance of Ren Baqian, right?
âOh, I got it.â Ren Baqian was indifferent.
âIf the two of you can apologizeâ¦â Yang Sen said after some hesitation. If Ren Baqian offered an apology and expressed his sincerity, it wasnât impossible to resolve this issue.
âThis is my house. She barged into my house, yet I have to give in?â Ren Baqian sneered.
âShe is just a young girl. Furthermore, her flying motorbike lost control,â Yang Sen said.
âDonât bother!â Ren Baqian immediately replied without thinking. He was determined to protect and support the empress regardless of what she did. The empress was always right.
He continued, âThey are the ones who owe us an apology. They should really offer incense and thank the gods that we spared their lives.â
On the other end of the call, Yang Sen was sulking. This Wang Zhi wasnât someone ordinary, but these two people were also not to be trifled with.
If he had to choose, the other world was definitely much more important than a piece of an oil field in America. Basically, these two issues werenât even comparable.
Currently, regardless of whether the other party took out the secret manuals, the Elongation Saber, that pair of double swords that was of an unknown quality, or other stuff, they were all considered priceless treasures. These items were indeed very valuable.
In addition, it was impossible to obtain such items from anyone else other than Ren Baqian.
âI will think of another way out. First of all, donât confront the other party. Inform me if anything comes up.â As Yang Sen thought about it, it seemed like he would need to communicate with the higher-ups. If that particular person stepped in, he probably might be able to restrain Wang Zhi.
âAs long as he doesnât provoke me. Can I still crash a flying motorbike into his house?â Ren Baqian grinned and hung up the call.
Frankly, it was really unfortunate. He had just returned to Earth and such a thing happened.
By the time Ren Baqian ended the call, the empress had already changed into a red dress.
âLetâs go out for dinner and then go to the Shanghai Bund to look at the scenery?â Ren Baqian asked.
âHmm, I want to watch a movie!â the empress declared, sounding very excited.
Even though the empress had come to Earth so many times, she hadnât watched a movie in a movie theater yet. She had only seen such scenes in the television shows that she watched and was rather curious.
âThatâs fine too!â Seeing that the empress suggested catching a movie, he felt that it was a pretty good idea for a normal couple to watch a movie and eat popcorn in the dark.
When they were having dinner, Ren Baqian checked the moving listings and realized that a very interesting horror film was showing⦠The New Mutants!
Ren Baqian was interested because even the X-Men series could be turned into a horror film.
The empress and Ren Baqian ate enough portions to feed 30 people. Her chopsticks were moving so furiously that they were like the blades of a fan and were almost impossible to spot with the naked eye. All that was visible was a chain of shadows. Even though they were in a private room and didnât frighten any customers, the people serving them got a huge shock.
He couldnât deny that after getting stronger, everything else was fine with the exception of his appetite. It was destined that the both of them wouldnât be able to have a meal in the main dining area of a restaurant.
There werenât many people in the cinema. Ren Baqian and the empress carried a big bucket of popcorn and a huge drink cup as they entered the theater.
âWhatâs this?â the empress asked while looking at the pair of glasses in her hands.
âPut it on, and youâll know the effect in a while.â Ren Baqian demonstrated how to wear the 3D glasses.
Ren Baqian felt relieved when he took a whiff of the empressâs body scent. He reached out, grabbed one of the empressâs hands, and quietly waited for the movie to start.
At the beginning of the movie, the leaves floating from the screen surprised the empress.
âIt seems like the leaves are in midair.â The empress reached out and wanted to touch them.
â3D movies, a new technology that utilizes the difference in vision fields between the two eyes to produce an optical illusion similar to real life objects,â Ren Baqian explained simply from the knowledge he had on the subject.
âVery interesting!â The empress was interested in 3D movies.
As the film progressed, the plot of the movie began to attract the empress.
The two no longer spoke anymore and quietly watched the movie while feeling the warmth of the otherâs hand.
The atmosphere of the movie was a bit strange and was indeed like a horror movie.
Ren Baqian was afraid that the empress would be frightened by the movieâs jump scares and overreact, but fortunately, such a situation didnât happen.
That is, until one of the characters approached a washing machine that was spinning. Suddenly, a palm and a burst of flame emerged. At the split second that the palm emerged, the empress subconsciously flicked her fingersâ¦
Following a slight pop, a huge hole appeared on the screen at the position of the palm.
âYour Majesty!â Ren Baqian forced a smile and held the empressâs palm.
A big hole appeared on the screen, so they naturally couldnât continue watching the movie. Even though the staff working at the movie theater immediately arranged another theater for them, the two of them had already lost interest.
âLetâs go back.â The empress was somewhat disappointed. However, as she was the one who had ruined it, she didnât know what to say either.
When the two of them were on their way back and just after they passed an intersection, they heard the sound of tires screeching. There was a truck heading straight toward Ren Baqianâs vehicle.
âF*ck!â Just as Ren Baqian cursed, he stepped on the gas pedal and felt the entire car shaking violently. After that, their car was rammed into, and he felt the world spinning. The car was sent flying and consecutively flipped over twice before landing on the ground.
Instead of slowing down, the truck accelerated and rammed over.
Boom!

Chapter 486: Revenge Must Not Be Left Overnight!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
âThe other party is approaching. They are four minutes and ten seconds away from intersection A, where thereâll be a red light for 30 seconds. Failure isnât an option.â
After listening to the voice from the walkie-talkie, the man in the truck smiled with glowing eyes. âIâm a professional!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Throwing the walkie-talkie onto the front passenger seat, the man in the truck lit up a cigarette in his mouth. He then looked at the time before stepping on the gas pedal.
There were three more minutes to go, and he was traveling at 35 kilometers an hour⦠When there were two more minutes to go, he drove at a speed of 50 kilometers an hour⦠When there was just 30 seconds left, he sped up to 80 kilometers an hour⦠To arrive within the forecasted time, the man was counting in his heart.
10, 9, 8⦠The driver could already see the traffic light at the intersection changing. Then, a black sedan drove past unhurriedly.
Just the right time.
For this specific moment, he had already taken this route five times last night before being able to accurately calculate the starting point as well as the speeds at various intervals. This was to ensure that he would arrive at the destination no more than three seconds past the stipulated time.
âThatâs the target.â After confirming that there werenât any other vehicles following behind the other partyâs car, he drove his truck into the target without slowing downâ¦
Boom!
Following the impact of the collision, the other partyâs car flung out as expected.
Furthermore, their positions were just right.
In order to guard against the unexpected, a frame was installed at the back of his vehicle with the sole purpose of shifting the center of gravity to the top of the frame. If the position of the collision wasnât right, he would have to immediately change directions, overturn the truck by relying on the center of gravity of the frame, and crush the other partyâs car into a discus.
At present, however, that wasnât required anymore. The driver had a smile on his face as he firmly stepped on the gas pedal and continued to ram into the other party. The direction was shifted a little, but the other party would definitely die as long as he crashed into the wall by the side of the road.
The five million yuan is mine, that man thought to himself.
At this moment, he stared at the car as it flipped through the air. The deformed car door suddenly flew open. Next, a demon-like red shadow appeared outside the car. The car seemed to freeze in time. It stopped flipping and floated in the air just like that.
After careful examination, that lady who was dressed in red had grabbed ahold of the car in the air with one hand and lifted the two ton Audi A6 several meters high as if it was a toy.
âImpossible!â That manâs pupils shrank into pinpoints
What was happening in front of him was basically impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Even seeing a UFO would be more believable than what was going on now.
Not only was he shocked, even a few cars that just happened to pass by the intersection stopped at the roadside one after another. In their cars, everyone had their eyes wide open as they continued looking at someone lift that car about seven meters into the air before landing on the ground.
âGod!â
âI have faith in martial arts again!â
âIs this a superhuman ability?â
Everyone was dumbstruck in their cars and had absolutely no idea how to comprehend what they just saw.
Below Ren Baqian and the empress, the truck directly passed through. The driver was practically unable to reflect upon what had happened because that incident had severely impacted his awareness. When he saw that there was a building drawing closer and closer, he suddenly regained his awareness and rapidly turned the steering wheel. However, it was already too late.
Boom!
âWhat should we do?â A car stopped by the roadside. The two people in that car, who had just witnessed this incident, were both trembling. They had previously followed behind Ren Baqianâs car by around 100 meters and had clearly witnessed the entire incident. At this moment, both of them were completely spooked.
âGo back and inform our boss!â The both of them didnât dare to stay another second longer and drove their car away at lightning speed. At the same time, they had also gotten through on the phone and explained everything that had just happened.
â¦
âCough, cough!â Ren Baqian crawled out of the car, still feeling guilty about a terrible crime.
Nothing had actually happened to the empress. Unless it was a nuclear explosion, a truck would definitely not be able to do anything to her.
Still, Ren Baqian didnât have that kind of strength.
Of course, with the empress around, nothing would happen to him. However, the scene of the truck crashing into them still left him with chills in his chest.
How hateful was the other party?! Wanting to take a life with the first strike.
It was almost instantly that Ren Baqian grew suspicious of that Wang Zhi.
The incident at the villa had just occurred in the afternoon, and he immediately got into a car accident on the same night. Besides, that truck didnât honk its horn or reduce its speed. From all perspectives, it appeared to have wanted to take Ren Baqianâs life.
Ren Baqian touched his forehead. His hand was stained with blood.
Just now, the truck had crashed directly into where the empress was sitting. She was pretty much fine, but Ren Baqian had sustained some injuries.
âBast*rd!â Ren Baqian gnashed his teeth as he turned around to look at that truckâs condition, only to see that the truck had overturned. It left a long trail on the ground, and half of the vehicle had rammed into the building in front of them. The insides of the truck were completely obscured by dust, and nothing could be seen.
The empress simply stood beside the truck. Ren Baqian didnât know what she was thinking about.
âItâs too heavy, so I canât drag it.â In a flash, the empress returned to Ren Baqian.
The truck itself weighed around 15,000 kilograms. After factoring in the cargo onboard, it weighed nearly 30,000 kilograms.
Even if the empress could lift a car that weighed 2,000 kilograms and leap into the air, it was hard for her to drag out a heavy truck that already had half of its body rammed into a building.
âI reckon heâs probably dead,â Ren Baqian said as he looked at the intact half of the truck. âHowever, I can roughly guess who is responsible for this.â
âThe people from this afternoon?â the empress asked in a cold voice.
âYes, 80 percent.â
Ren Baqian took off his shirt and wrapped it around his head, making him look like a mummy.
âFind out their location!â the empress replied with a murderous look. She was already a little disappointed that she had missed the rest of the movie. In spite of that, someone actually had the guts to attack her. That person must be tired of living.
Ren Baqian nodded. Not avenging a grievance wasnât his style of doing things. A nobleman would seek revenge regardless of how long it would take.
He felt for his mobile phone and discovered it was still on him. He held it in his hand and hesitated for a moment, but didnât dial any numbers. At the moment, Ren Baqian felt that it was rather troublesome because he didnât know where the other party stayed.
Yang Sen could probably find out his address, but he definitely wouldnât let Ren Baqian get ahold of it.
It would only be possible if Ren Baqian could threaten Yang Sen by having a conflict with the nation. However, the gains wouldnât make up for the losses. After all, threatening the nation wasnât that good of an idea.
If he were to bear with it now and take revenge after he found out the other partyâs location, that would be much easier.
Unfortunately, Ren Baqian never liked to procrastinate when taking revenge since the dayâs vengeance needed to be avenged on that very same day!
Thankfully, there was still another solution that didnât require him to fall out with the nation.
Didnât the other party have a wounded member?
They would talk about it again after she was captured.
There were nearly 40 AAA class hospitals in Shanghai. Such people would definitely go to the best hospitals.
As such, there would be an 80 percent chance of finding the other party by going to the top three hospitals.
Ren Baqian switched on his mobile phone and searched for the top three hospitals in Shanghai. He memorized them and immediately switched his phone off.
âYour Majesty, letâs go to Zhongshan Hospital and have a look first. Do you still remember what that person from this afternoon looked like?â
âI have a highly retentive memory!â The empress was slightly prideful, but lowered her voice later. âHowever, such tiny individuals arenât fit for my eyesâ¦â
Ren Baqian was speechless.
That means you didnât actually look at them⦠Thatâs why you donât remember, right? Ren Baqian thought to himself.
Exactly the empressâs style!
âLetâs wait for a few minutes first and see if anybody comes to investigate.â As Ren Baqian looked at the surroundings, he found that there were indeed a few cars parked along the roadside.
âYour Majesty, are there any problems with those people?â
The empress scanned in that direction and replied faintly, âTheyâre all ordinary people.â
âIn that case, letâs wait. Maybe the other party will send someone to investigate.â After Ren Baqian finished talking, the both of them hid in the shadows near the roadside.
A while later, someone did indeed come to investigate, but they were all ordinary people. One by one, they carefully stepped closer and made phone calls at the same time.
Soon after, police cars and ambulances rushed down to the scene.
âLetâs go,â Ren Baqian said. It seemed like they would have to try their luck at the hospitals.
Just as Ren Baqian finished his sentence, the empress lifted his collar, and he felt like he was riding on a cloud. Harsh winds blew across his face as everything around him moved rapidly in reverse. After that, the empress jumped on top of a tall building and headed in the direction that he indicated.
Not long after Ren Baqian left, a few other people arrived at the scene. After assessing the situation, they hurriedly gave Yang Sen a call.
âAccident? A truck rammed straight into their car and sent it flying? Are they alright? Qi Zixiao lifted the car and leaped seven meters into the air? Both of them fled the scene after that, and their locations are unknown?â Once Yang Sen heard the details from the phone call, he quickly hung up the phone and called Ren Baqian, but he discovered that Ren Baqianâs phone was turned off.
âOh no, something big is about to happen!â
An hour later, Ren Baqian and the empress arrived at Zhongshan Hospital. After finding out the location of the special ward, they walked toward that building.
Just as they reached the lobby, they saw a few people supporting a lady dressed in a hospital gown and walking out rapidly.
After one of them saw Ren Baqian and the empress, his facial expression changed as he repeatedly urged, âHurry!â
At the same time, he and another person assumed an alert stance.
Ren Baqian squinted his eyes as a cold intent permeated from his gaze. They managed to locate her so quickly. It really must be fate!
