Chapter 745 Looking For Me?
The following day, Ariel sat in her newly repaired sports car in the underground parking lot of a condominium.
She nervously held the steering wheel as she mumbled to herself, “It’s been half a month. I can’t get lost again. I must memorize the route. When I leave the place and arrive at an intersection, I’ll have to turn left and drive until another intersection before making a right turn. Then, another left, right and left. Okay, I got this!”
After repeating for a few times, Ariel took a deep breath, then started the engine and drove out of the parking lot.
From a corner, a black BMW tailed after her.
Ariel drove extremely slowly and arrived at the intersection. When she was waiting for the lights to turn green, she kept on muttering to herself, “Right, then left. Right, then left…”
Soon, the green lights came on.
Ariel made a right turn and drove straight. After a while, she was confused again. “What’s next after the right turn?”
“Make a right at the intersection before… before another right? Yeah, that should be it! Make a right, then another right.”
With that, she turned right at the next junction. Now, she had ended up on an unfamiliar road.
Ariel was stunned. “Where is this now…”
She wanted to work on her sense of direction, which was why she did not even bring her phone along. Now, she was stuck.
Stretching her neck, she tried to scan the road in front of her. Maybe I can figure out the roads with my cleverness.
Ariel continued driving along the road. After making numerous turns, she noticed a familiar ramp and hope lit up in her. She stepped on the gas and sped out of the alley, only to realize there was a river right in front of her.
She tried slamming on the breaks, but it was too late.
At that moment, a black sedan drove in from the side and Ariel’s car slammed into it with a bang. The impact had caused her car to dent the black sedan, but luckily both cars stopped and did not fall into the river.
Ariel let out a deep breath and quickly unbuckled her seat belt. She then went down and checked the damage on the black sedan.
Both cars were severely damaged. Even though they were both at fault, Ariel was willing to bear all the repair costs, so she took out her checkbook.
Ever since she had gotten her driving license, this was not the first time an accident had happened. She knew very well how much it would cost for repairs.
While she was still writing down the numbers, the door of the black sedan swung open and the car owner came down. She was shocked upon seeing who it was.
“How could it be you?” She looked at Danny’s gloating face with embarrassment.
Danny walked forward and bent down to check where his car was smashed in. “My gosh, do you like jumping into the river so much?”
Ariel quietly massaged her temples.
He stood like a model with his hands in his pockets and looked at Ariel with a smile. At that point, he could not hold in his laughter any longer. “Hahaha! I can’t believe it. You have no sense of direction at all. Who would’ve thought about that? You’re killing me here!”
Ariel’s face turned beet red. This little punk! Isn’t he trying too hard to look for my weakness?
She narrowed her eyes as a sly look swept across her face.
In the next second, she approached Danny and forced him to back up against the car.
“What are you doing? Trying to murder me, are you?” Danny looked at her cautiously.
“If you dare talk about this, I won’t say it’s not a possibility,” Ariel answered with a cold look, as if she was going to eat him alive.
Danny swallowed hard as he became apprehensive. He weakly threatened her, “I’m warning you—don’t mess with me. I’ve got three brothers and a sister-in-law. If anything happens to me, they won’t let you off!”
“Don’t worry. I don’t crave blood that much.” Ariel placed her hand on his chest and slid it downward. When she reached his six-pack, she stopped and did not move her hands anymore. “But if you talk about this anywhere else, I can’t promise that I won’t eat you.”
“You, you… Don’t you like my sister-in-law?” Danny was taken aback and jerked his neck backward.
“You are you, whereas Miss Sinclair is Miss Sinclair. I won’t neglect either one. Look at this six-pack… How sexy it would be…” Ariel continued teasing him.
“In your dreams! It doesn’t matter if it is me or Elise, because you won’t get away with it!”
Danny was like a snake; he slithered away from her embrace and ran.
“Stop right there!” Ariel demanded with her hands crossed in front of her. “One more step and I’ll withdraw the investment!”
Danny stopped in his tracks. Even though he did not turn around, he was under her control now.
Ariel was a huge investor. He put in a lot of effort to get her back from another country. If she left because of him, it would be a huge loss.
“Now, be a good boy and be my driver; or else, I’ll leave Cittadel for real. Even though I’m not good at recognizing roads, I can still easily get a cab to the airport,” Ariel threatened cheerfully.
It was Danny’s first startup, and Elise was a shareholder too. If he gave up now, it would be such a shame.
After careful consideration, Danny turned back and frivolously flattered Ariel. Chuckling, he murmured, “Ms. Whitney, it was all my fault. Why don’t you be the bigger person and forgive me, please?”
“We’ll see.” She walked over to the passenger’s seat and looked at him. “What are you waiting for? Come and open the door for me.”
“Of course!” Danny continued to lick her boots. “Here I come!”

…
It was late at night when Narissa left the video arcade. After walking for a while, she heard footsteps. Someone was following her.
She had her guard up and did some quick thinking. Then, she picked up her speed and turned into an alley.
On the other side of the road was a café. On the second floor, Charissa and her gang saw what happened and freaked out.
“Do you think Narissa realized something was off?” one of the men asked.
“Hard to say; that woman is smart. Who knows where she’ll run to now?” another man added.
“Don’t worry.” The smile on Charissa’s face deepened as she revealed, “That alley’s a dead end.”
Sure enough, not long after Narissa entered the alley, a high wall blocked her path.
A moment later, a few men holding baseball bats turned up at the alley’s entrance.
Narissa smiled calmly and counted them with her fingers, “One, two, three… there’s six of you. They only managed to get you guys? Seems like they aren’t as great as they claim. Stop wasting my time. Let’s settle this at one go.”
At the end of her sentence, the six men rushed up together, and fighting sounds soon came from within the alley.
After a few minutes, Charissa and her gang panicked when they did not see anyone walking out of the alley.
“She’s not dead, right? We don’t want to get people killed for real.”
With heavy hearts, they left the cafe and came to the alley.
However, what they saw was the six men lying on the ground, their faces filled with bruises.
“What is this? Where is she?” Charissa grabbed the man closest to her and roared.
“Looking for me?”
Narissa’s voice gently rose from behind them.
