It was Huo Xiao who spoke, now leaning over the driver's window, taking control.

Tang Yingying remained unmoved. A call to the police appeared on her phone screen, her fingertip hovering. If only she could...

But Huo Xiao's venomous threat lingered in her ears, and a conflicting thought swirled in her eyes. Ultimately, after a moment of mental struggle, she still couldn't muster the courage to fight to the death with Huo Xiao.

Pushing the door and getting out, Tang Yingying, unwilling to become a complete prey, said coldly, "This is just one time. Don't push your luck. Otherwise, I think there are plenty of people willing to trade their lives for the whopping five million."

Huo Xiao scoffed at this titillating threat, but when dealing with a financial sponsor, he still had to give them enough emotional value. "Madam, please, please. The Zhou family is a wealthy one. I'm just earning some pocket money. For someone of your status, five million is a drop in the bucket. I'm already trying to curry your favor, so why would I think of offending you to death?"

"Hmph, you're smart." Tang Yingying raised her chin slightly, her high heels clicking.
