Chapter 150: Why Recognize

Yang Chen certainly couldn't really be bored enough to go drinking. Not to mention that he couldn't immerse himself in alcohol due to his brain's condition. Considering the current situation, Yang Chen found it all very interesting. While others might not see some underlying aspects, in Yang Chen's eyes, many things were worth pondering and doubting. Even many details were filled with various potential meanings. How could he choose to drink at such a wonderful moment?

After passing several empty corners, Yang Chen arrived at a small exit behind the villa, leading to the open-air parking lot at the back.

With such a huge complex of buildings, there must be multiple exits, not just the main entrance. So Yang Chen easily found this one.

However, Yang Chen didn't rush to leave. Instead, he turned around leisurely and shouted down the empty corridor, "Miss Mo, it's not a good habit to track someone, especially for a beautiful woman to track a man with a wife."

After a moment of silence, Mo Qian Ni, her face flushed red, walked out from around a corner, looking aggrieved. "Who told you to deliberately deceive me? You clearly wanted to run away by yourself!"

"Run away? I never said I was going to run away," Yang Chen approached Mo Qian Ni slowly.

A moment of realization flashed in Mo Qian Ni's eyes. "I know, you want to go to the warehouse at Jinze Bay Pier, the place where Li Muhua went! Am I right?!"

"Very clever, but what does that have to do with you?" Yang Chen said unabashedly.

"I can't let you go, it's too dangerous!" Mo Qian Ni said anxiously.

"But you can't stop me," Yang Chen shrugged and smiled.

Mo Qian Ni, seeing Yang Chen getting closer, instinctively took two steps back. "Then take me with you. I can't let you go to such a dangerous place alone!"

Yang Chen asked with some curiosity, "You know it's dangerous, so why do you want to come with me?"

"I-I'm worried about you," Mo Qian Ni said softly, her cheeks flushed under the lamplight. She couldn't let Yang Chen go alone to such a dangerous place. Although she knew saying this was too straightforward, it was practically expressing her feelings. At this critical moment, Mo Qian Ni couldn't afford to be too reserved!

Yang Chen was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Mo Qian Ni to express her thoughts so directly. But once a woman softly tells you she's worried about you, can you still treat her with a tough attitude? Yang Chen couldn't. So he abandoned his plan to knock Mo Qian Ni unconscious.

After a moment of silence, Yang Chen sighed and smiled lightly. "I was planning to knock you out and toss you back to your room. But I'm a soft-hearted person, can't stand a woman's sweet words, especially when it's a beautiful woman's sugary words. Since you're so eager to go with me, I'll grant your wish."

"You..." Mo Qian Ni was almost in tears, looking at him aggrievedly. "You actually wanted to knock me out?!"

"Of course. You're worried about my safety, and I'm worried about you too," Yang Chen replied.

Mo Qian Ni suddenly went silent, her heart beating several times faster. She looked away coyly, biting her lip to prevent herself from smiling too happily.

The ambiguous feelings between them seemed to receive a genuine response in this moment. There was no need for many words; the hazy sweetness was enough.

"Hey, silly girl, why are you so happy? Are you coming or not?" Yang Chen asked with a grin.

Mo Qian Ni quickly snapped out of it. "Of course I'm coming, but you have to take me with you." Her eyes were pitiful, devoid of the strong demeanor of a powerful woman.

Yang Chen motioned with his finger, and Mo Qian Ni hurriedly caught up.

When they reached the exit gate, a black-clad bodyguard was already standing outside, obviously there to prevent guests from leaving without permission.

"Brother, come in," Yang Chen waved at the bodyguard with a smile.

The bodyguard quickly stepped inside and asked kindly, "Is there something you need, sir?"

"Yeah, could you please knock him out?" Without waiting for the bodyguard to react, Yang Chen's lightning-fast chop landed on the back of his neck, causing the bodyguard to collapse to the ground.

Mo Qian Ni gasped in surprise, her mouth forming an adorable "O". "Did you plan to knock me out like this before?"

"Guess." Yang Chen winked at her and swiftly walked out the door.

In the dark night, the parking lot was quiet, with only the rustling of the wind through the trees. A few luxury cars were parked there, gleaming brightly.

Mo Qian Ni felt a chill and hugged her arms. She asked Yang Chen, "Are you going with Li Muhua? We don't have a car."

Yang Chen smirked mischievously. "Who said we don't have a car? Aren't there cars here?" He gestured towards the cars in the parking lot.

"Are you suggesting we steal a car?!" Mo Qian Ni was flustered, but before she could protest, Yang Chen had already walked to the nearest black Lexus.

"Hey! Are you kidding me?" Mo Qian Ni forced a smile.

Yang Chen rubbed his chin, circled around the car as if confirming something, then suddenly thrust his hand in a "conical shape" and forcefully hit the car window!

"Bang!"

The sound of shattering glass filled the air, and a large hole appeared in the car window!

"See that?" Yang Chen pointed at the broken window he easily made. "This model of Lexus has a very weak alarm system. It won't sound unless you forcibly tamper with the lock."

With Mo Qian Ni staring in disbelief, Yang Chen casually unlocked the door from the inside and opened the driver's side, sitting inside.

Mo Qian Ni was on the verge of passing out. Yang Chen's actions completely transcended the ordinary understanding of "morality," "law," and "physical boundaries." It was beyond the comprehension of an ordinary woman like her.

"Get in the car," Yang Chen gestured to her, unlocking the passenger side door as well.

As Mo Qian Ni got into the car, Yang Chen removed a plastic panel-like component from under the steering wheel and started fiddling with it.

With some psychological preparation, Mo Qian Ni was less surprised this time and asked, slightly confused, "What are you doing now? Can you start the car like that?"

"Obviously," Yang Chen glanced at her and continued fiddling with the car's wiring. "No keys, so I have to resort to special methods."

As soon as he said that, the dashboard of the Lexus lit up, followed by the engine roaring to life!

Ignoring Mo Qian Ni's astonished expression, Yang Chen skillfully adjusted the seat and prepared to drive.

"Wait!" Mo Qian Ni suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "There must be many people watching outside the villa now. Even though the mountain road is some distance from the villa, our car's headlights will surely give us away!"

"You're smart," Yang Chen praised, brushing his fingers against Mo Qian Ni's nose, making her blush even more.

"So, how do we get out then?"

"Who said you have to turn on the lights when driving at night?"

"Are you suggesting...?"

Ignoring Mo Qian Ni's "are you crazy" expression, Yang Chen chuckled and turned off the car's headlights completely, leaving the car as dark as it was during the day, with not a single light on!

Then, Yang Chen shifted gears, and the car smoothly left the parking lot, heading towards the outer road.

Mo Qian Ni saw the pitch-black road ahead, struggling to see even three meters in front of her. The thought of Yang Chen driving down the mountain to Jinze Bay in such conditions horrified her, and she felt like jumping out of the car!

"Are you out of your mind?! If you drive like this, we'll plunge down the mountain!" Mo Qian Ni exclaimed.

In the darkness, Yang Chen glanced at her and said, "If you trust me, then sit there quietly and don't speak. Although I promised to take you to Jinze Bay, you must follow my arrangements. Otherwise, I can't guarantee I won't knock you out and leave you in the back seat."

With that said, Mo Qian Ni immediately shut her mouth and muttered a few complaints, but she had no choice but to fasten her seatbelt and stay quiet.

The black Lexus, devoid of any lights, raced through the pitch-black mountain road like a midnight ghost, yet its speed was anything but slow.

Coincidentally, there were few cars on the mountain road at this time, almost none. So this car, without lights and speeding, didn't cause much of a stir. Occasionally, a car passed by, and the driver probably thought they had misjudged the situation.

Gradually, Mo Qian Ni realized that her previous worries were unnecessary because Yang Chen, driving this "dark car" without lights, had no difficulty navigating the road. It was as if it wasn't nighttime at all but broad daylight!

Relieved, Mo Qian Ni then had a question, "Hey, Yang Chen, do you know the way to Jinze Bay?"

"I do."

"Why do you know? Aren't you coming to Hong Kong for the first time?"

"Remember, from now on, listen to what I say. If I say ten things, eleven are false."

"There are only ten sentences in total. How can there be eleven lies? Just forget it if you don't want to tell me," Mo Qian Ni said gloomily.

"It's an expression, you don't understand basic math," Yang Chen teased.

Amidst their banter, the car descended from the mountain, and Yang Chen casually turned on the headlights, knowing it wouldn't raise suspicion at this point.

They continued driving until they reached the small road leading to Jinze Bay. As the surrounding traffic decreased, Yang Chen switched back to driving without lights.

Before long, only one car was ahead of them, heading towards Jinze Bay. Yang Chen smiled. "Looks like we're not late. That should be our little friend, Li Muhua, up ahead."

Mo Qian Ni had transitioned from initial panic and fear to excitement and a sense of novelty at this moment. This secret tracking experience gave her a different perspective on life. However, as they approached Jinze Bay, she began to worry about their safety. Unable to contain herself, she asked, "How are we going to get there? Are we going to accompany Li Muhua to deliver the money?"

"Silly girl, if I wanted to accompany Li Muhua to deliver the money, why would I secretly follow him with the lights off, not letting him notice me?"

Being called "silly girl" again, Mo Qian Ni didn't get angry. She felt that their relationship had indeed become much closer at this moment, so she just smiled sweetly and remained silent.
