The pursuer is tall and strong, quick and forceful in action, not giving Below Zero a chance to see his face clearly.
It wasn't until Below Zero saw his black trousers and snow-white leather shoes that he suddenly remembered the man was one of Bennie's bodyguards.
"Don't scream, tell me who you belong to."
The pursuer finally spoke, his Chinese was fluent but carried a sinister and terrifying tone.
Below Zero watched helplessly as pedestrians bustled on the street in front of him, but he dared not call for help.
A light pull of the trigger was all it would take for his head to be blown open instantly.
Below Zero felt his mind go blank, knowing that such desperados would never leave a witness alive...
In that moment, as he was suffocating, his blurred vision didn't reflect the fear or horror of death approaching. Instead, his gaze softened quickly because he saw his beautiful wife, Zhen. Zhen's gentle and charming smile and voice became clearer before him.
The pursuer waited three or four seconds, growing impatient with Below Zero's lack of response.
Eliminate all threats to the boss!
That's the ultimate creed of a mercenary to their employer!
So, he decided to pull the trigger. But before doing so, he wanted to see the true face of this "wannabe" assassin.
He holstered his gun, grabbed Below Zero's neck with one hand, and with the other, he reached for the brim of Below Zero's hat and yanked it off.
Below Zero's struggles were futile, and he eventually closed his eyes in despair! He knew that once the pursuer saw his face, even if he somehow escaped, he'd be hunted down to the ends of the earth!
Just as Below Zero's true face was about to be fully exposed to the pursuer, a sharp siren suddenly sounded!
The next moment, a police motorcycle was already speeding to the scene!
Even the bold pursuer didn't want to confront the police forces in a foreign country so recklessly!
Frowning, he resentfully pushed Below Zero away, then leaped into the midst of the street's crowd, quickly disappearing.
Below Zero collapsed in front of a metal door, hands clutching his bruised throat, gasping for air, tears and snot streaming down his face.
For the first time in his life, he felt the endearing and honorable nature of the police profession.
The motorcycle screeched to a halt in front of Below Zero, the helmeted police rider didn't turn off the engine or dismount, he just shook his head at Below Zero and said, "Get on."
Struggling to his feet, Below Zero jumped onto the motorcycle...
"Mr. Bennie, we deeply apologize for this incident, we have already begun investigating and will provide a satisfactory response as soon as possible. We hope for your understanding…"
The golden watch face fell off, almost causing a tragic accident. This was the first time such an incident had occurred since the establishment of the Carrier Hotel. The hotel's leadership took it very seriously. To express their apologies and condolences to the VIPs, the hotel held a press conference and hired a professional interpreter to offer a sincere apology to Bennie on the spot, promising that from that day on, all accommodation costs for Bennie and his party would be covered by the hotel…
Bennie was moved and gracious about the hotel's high-attitude and sincere apology. He humorously commented in front of the bright lights and speakers that accidents are always inevitable; he wasn't bothered at all by this incident… Meanwhile, He Li seemed to have returned to normal. After this life-and-death ordeal, her relationship with Bennie seemed to become even closer. Arm in arm with Bennie, she was elegant and composed, subtly expressing in front of the reporters Bennie's magnanimity about the incident, a result of her patriotic persuasion and patient guidance…
But the truth is often different from what the media reports, a fabrication by some. How many can understand the real story behind it?
Of course, Bennie's gracious response to this accident was because he knew that the hotel was not at fault. The golden watch face fell because someone was after his life! As a tycoon who climbed up over corpses, he was well aware of the numerous enemies he had. Just thinking about it, he could name dozens or hundreds of people who would want him dead.
His first suspicion was He Li, the woman he couldn't get enough of. So, he mobilized all his resources in China to investigate everything about He Li, and the conclusion relieved Bennie greatly: the murder attempt wasn't aimed at him, but at He Li!
Used to the luxuries of life, Bennie didn't mind He Li's "rich" past. In his eyes, she was just a beautiful tool, part of his property… Of course, since He Li was currently his property, Bennie naturally felt an obligation to protect her. So, he ordered his men: catch the person who wanted to kill He Li, make them disappear, or bring them before me and He Li…
And so, a silent net against Below Zero was spread out…
As the plane roared into the sky, breaking through the air towards the other side of the ocean, Below Zero heaved a sigh of relief, feeling he had finally escaped an invisible net and was reborn!
That day, with the help of "police" arranged by Archangel, Below Zero quickly escaped the pursuer's sight. After sending Below Zero home, the "police" immediately drove away. Watching the motorcycle disappear into the distance, Below Zero realized, this was no ordinary police officer; it was Archangel!
Yet, he never saw Archangel's true face because he never saw the "police" officer's face, and even if he had, it would have been behind a cold, ice-like helmet glass.
Half a minute later, Archangel called him, informing him of another plan's outcome: He Li hadn't touched the red BYD again because Bennie had already gifted her a brand-new Ferrari.
Then, they made a deal over the phone, Below Zero hiring Archangel again for his revenge plan at the price of 250,000. The price went from 200,000 to 250,000 because he foolishly lied to Archangel! But by then, Below Zero no longer cared about money, he immediately transferred the funds to Archangel, then bought tickets to the United States with Zhen…
Archangel, thank you. My happiness is in your hands.
He tightly held Zhen's hand…
