17 Shin Keir got offended because of my beauty!

"Brother Jj, hurry up!" Yeri urged him and hurriedly locked the exit door.

Jj's face darkened, the only time she would call her brother is whenever she's in trouble or with her parent's presence.

"What's the point of calling it an emergency exit if it doesn't lead us out!" Yeri huffed after descending a couple of stairs.

Seeing her hysterical behaviour, Jj suppressed his annoyance and firmly gripped her hand.

"The dance floor is on ground level so obviously we went down the basement parking. Now stop running around aimlessly, we both know you have the worst sense of direction! Luckily, I think we parked around here."

Yeri heeded but felt a rush of panic hearing an elevator 'ding' somewhere and implored Jj to hurry.

Shortly afterwards, they found his car.

"Now explain yourself, what's going on with you lately? you're not on drugs aren't you?" Jj paused with his hand on the ignition key and glanced at her, squinting his eyes.

"Of course not! brother Jj, can you hurry up and drive? or else, he will catch up." Yeri pleaded.

"He? someone's after you? is it a stalker?" Jj conceded and calmly took a U-turn going towards the exit.

The basement parking was dead silent without a single soul, who exactly is she afraid of? ghost?

Even so, the exit isn't quite what they expected, it was blocked and there were some men in black suits.

"Don't stop! those people might be working for him!"

Jj glowered at her to behave, he was about to pull up when Yeri suddenly nudged him and floored the accelerator.

"What the hell are you doing Yeri Zhi?! did that loud music blasted your brain cells as well?!" Jj angrily hollered as he struggled to control the steering wheel.

The car lurched forward, its tyres screeching, ramming against the blockade as they speed off towards an intersection.

"sh*t! You are nuts!" Jj looked like an erupting volcano.

His new chevy corvette is ruined and they almost run over those people who were most likely from the mafia.

Most importantly, what if she got injured? how is he going to explain it to her parents?

They were lucky it was past midnight and there are few cars in the intersection.

Yeri heaved a sighed of relief and slumped down in her seat, like she had nothing to do with what just happened.

"So you're not talking huh?! have you really gone mad? coz I swear I'll take you to a mental hospital right now!"

"Brother Jj, I can hear you, ok? you don't have to shout, just give me a minute to relax and think of a plan!" Yeri closed her eyes.

Jj wore an exasperated expression, this kind of matter isn't something that can be resolved just by escaping, he would have to let her parents know that they possibly provoked some people from the mafia!

"Are you at least alright? did you hit your head or what?"

"I'm perfectly fine, let's not go back to school but to the Zhi man-"

"I don't think we can do that." Jj interrupted while looking at the side mirror, they were busy arguing that he just notice an evident number of black cars were closely tailing them.

'Damn it! why is he so persistent?!' Yeri cursed inwardly as she anxiously bit her nail.

She was a fool to delude herself that there is a small possibility that the man she slept with wasn't Shin Keir.

"Listen, you call Uncle and tell him that we need Vulture to help us out of this mess! I'll try to buy us more time."

Vulture is a mafia organisation in alliance with the Zhi household. In that country, it's inevitable for upper-class families to have an association with a mafia group for business reasons, security and protection.

"What did you say? we are not calling anyone! not even the police! I told you I have a plan and we will resolve this ourselves." Yeri insisted, no one should know of her relationship with Shin Keir.

"Enough with your nonsense, how about you stop keeping me in the dark and tell me who the hell did you offend and why is he so hell-bent on chasing you?!"

Yeri laughed bitterly and stared outside the window. "Fine, it's Shin Keir!"

"Who?!" Jj asked thinking he had heard wrong.

"I said it's Shin Keir! that CEO with a horrible-"

Jj was beyond shocked that he almost collided with another car as they turned to a corner, who in their right mind would dare to offend that monster?!

Forget about the both of them, the entire Zhi clan is doomed!

"You offended Shin Keir?! just how many lives do you think you have?!

"Can't you drive properly?! If it makes you feel better, Shin Keir got offended because of my beauty, no big deal!" Yeri confidently said while fixing her hair.

Jj's face looked even more distorted, they must have spoiled her much to the point that she failed to recognise death!

"There are black cars everywhere chasing us all over the city, in the middle of the night and it's no big deal?!"

"I don't know either, maybe he has a lot of free time?" Yeri dumbly replied.

"Can't you be a little serious? how exactly did you offend him, otherwise you wouldn't be this desperate to escape!"

"I slept with him." Yeri deadpanned.

What followed next was a shrill high-pitched screech to a sudden halt that disturbed the hush of night.

-----------

An hour earlier, back at the bar. Shin was furious and agitated, not because they escaped but the sight of the sports car rammed against the blockade.

What if his woman got injured?

He then took out his phone and called Tristan.

A drowsy yet pleasant voice answered. "What's up?"

"I need more people to tail a sports car, don't touch them, just lead them to that place." Shin's brows contorted, he could hear some vile creature giggling in the background.

"Ah...your woman? if you're tired of her, let me take care of the rest."

"Leave her alone!" Shin hung up and disgustingly stared at his phone, this is why he dislikes calling him around this hour!

"Sanitize it!" He tossed it to one of his men.
