"I'm sorry."
"I'm really fine. I'll be sorry if you keep doing this."
Although Nancy assures Lily that she is fine and asks Lily not to worry, Lily cannot help but feel sorry, because Lily lent them the car, which almost killed them.
Louis calls a secretary to arrange for Nancy and her boyfriend. He is fully responsible for the medical expenses and gives her half a month's leave with the compensation of one year's salary.
After making arrangements, he leaves with Lily.
On the way back, Louis sees that Lily is still frowning. He puts her hand in his palm and says, "The police have already gone to the scene to investigate. The results will be available soon."
Lily says, "I often go to maintain the car, so it can't be a car problem."
Louis’ eyes are gloomy.
Of course, he knows that BC is a well-known brand, and there are few cases of spontaneous combustion. Even if there are, things would not be like what happened today, when the car was blown up completely.
After they get home, Louis receives the on-site inspection report.
Based on the explosives at the scene, the police speculate that there is a detonator installed at the bottom of the vehicle. As long as the vehicle is restarted, it will explode at a certain time.
"Vice President Carter must have someone do it." Lily is still scared now. She says coldly, "He can even hurt my mother. There's nothing he can't do!"
After her driver's license is revoked, Leigh helps drive the car back to the underground garage in the community. Afterwards, detonator is installed, but the other party does not expect that she doesn't drive anymore.
If Nancy hadn't gotten out of the car to vomit with her boyfriend, they would have died!
"So, the person behind him is powerful enough to protect him, who dares to do these things openly!" Louis sneers. His eyes are aggressive. Now, he is truly enraged.
"Don't act recklessly." Lily grabs his sleeve and says with a serious expression, "Before we get the evidence, let's not fight him head-on, otherwise the gains will not be worth the losses."
Louis says, "Have you ever seen anyone I'm afraid of?"
"Louis!"
"Alright, it's up to you." Louis holds the woman in his arms and kisses her on the forehead. "However, the evidence of his corruption in the past two years is conclusive. Although the amount is not big, it is enough to sentence him to a few months' imprisonment. You can investigate him properly in these few months, huh?"
Lily leans on his shoulder and asks in a low voice, "Am I useless? I haven't found anything."
"How could that be? These are all the work of the police and detective. You are helpful enough." Louis says, "I haven't found anything either. Am I even more useless?"
"Louis."
"Huh?"
Lily reaches out and hugs him. The smell on his body is very good, making her attracted to him and feel very safe. She rubs her head in the man's arms and says, "It's good to be rich."
Louis laughs, "You woman are really unpredictable. I thought you would praise me."
Lily mutters, "You are equal to the rich. It's the same."
"I love to hear that." Seeing that it is getting late, Louis carries her back to the room and says, "Go to sleep."
His words are somewhat meaningful.
Lily blushes at the thought of what they haven't done before answering the phone. She wraps herself in a blanket and waits nervously for a long time, only to see the man take off his clothes and turn off the headlights.
And he sleeps on the other side of the bed.
Lily is stunned for a while, but seeing that he still hasn't moved, she can't help but ask, "Are you asleep?"
"What's the matter?" Louis turns around and sees her expression. He guesses something and smiles, "That size is indeed small. It doesn't suit me."
