Dangerous Relationship

The door of the operating room opened again.

"Families, where are the family members?"

A man was convulsed and shot ahead in a sudden big stride. "How is she?"

Nancy asked with an anxious expression on her face. "Are you the patient's family member?"

"...No." The man went into a trance. "I'm her friend."

"Get the families over here quickly. The patient has just suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and is now being resuscitated. This is a critical condition notice. You have to be mentally prepared for that."

"What..." The man gasped.

"Come on, call the families and get them over. It's too late."

After hesitating for a second, the man snatched the critical condition notice and signed two words on it – Andy Green.

"Hey, why did you just sign it?"

Andy's breathing became hard and heavy. "I'm her youngest uncle."

Nancy was furious. "What the hell is the relationship between you? Her life is at stake, understand?"

Andy's back was against the wall, sliding down bit by bit.

He lowered his head, and his shoulder blades stiffened into a silent curve. His tears fell to the ground while being blown by the wind.

"She's the one I love."

Late at night, a taxi sped along on the open elevated road.

"Miss, those cars behind... have been following us."

Elena had been drowsy, hearing what the driver said, she was suddenly out of her sleep and turned her head. Several black SUVs were coming close.

"Sir, speed up. Go to the nearest police station, quick!"

"Miss, I, I..."

"Don't be afraid, sir. Here is downtown. They don't dare to act recklessly. I'm a lawyer."

Hardly had her voice faded away, the driver pressed a sudden brake, and the taxi was surrounded by several SUVs.

The car window was slowly winded down.

A pair of dark eyes were revealed. The eyelids were like knife-carved, the eye ends were sharp and narrow, and the eye light looked like the edge of a knife.

Indescribable palpitations accompanied by fear spread throughout Elena's body.

She unlocked her phone and quickly pressed three numbers – 911.

Just at this moment, the SUV's door suddenly opened.

A tall man got out of the car, wearing a black trench coat, which was simple and cold.

The lighter pattered and a faint blue flame came out.

The man lighted a cigarette leisurely. His long slender fingers knocked on the bodywork with a casual air, and he faintly looked towards Elena.

The driver's voice trembled with fear. "Mi, Miss, now... now what's to be done? Why don't you get out of the car? I have the old and young at home..."

Elena couldn't hear the driver's words at all. She saw the man walking slowly over and his face becoming clear gradually...

It was a face with extremely aggressive features, which was rugged and arrogant. He had a clean chin, thin pale lips, and dark sharp eyes.

Elena felt nervous.

The man stubbed out the cigarette and flicked his finger. The cigarette flew out in an arc. And then the man opened the car door.

"Elena, long time no see."

The man's voice was low and sexy, very nice but cold. However, what was even colder was his eyes, which has no warmth.

Elena knew clearly that hidden underneath this man's eyes was his bone-deep hatred for her.

She got out of the car holding her bag and moved two steps to the side defensively, trying to stay as far away from him as possible. "Long time no see, Andy."

If she remembered correctly, it should be eight years.

The last time they met was in the year of her college entrance exam when she was unworldly, innocent, and pure.

And he, too, was not like this, even his eyes gleamed with danger.

When Elena thought of the word "danger", her hand that held the phone was quietly pressed down.

Suddenly, the hand ached.

The phone flew in the air in an arc and fell on Andy's hand. And his other hand grabbed Elena's wrist and brought it hard into his arms.

She was caught flat-footed. When she did a double-take, she had already crashed headlong into his strong hard chest.

Elena's eyes were fierce, and she kneed up to bump against his stomach.

Andy was already prepared. His body slid backward first and then bumped forward.

Elena was pressed against the cold hard car body at once. The man's lips were close to her cheek, and his nose tip had a smell of strong cigarette smoke.

"Andy, what do you want?"

"What do you think?"

His frivolous words made Elena nauseous.

She turned her head, and this act of turning her head was more like drawing a distinct boundary between them.

"Uncle Andy, have you forgotten your identity?"

Uncle?

The flame burned in Andy's eyes, while the expression on his face was very lethargic.

His slightly deep eyes looked at Elena for a full half a minute. And then he raised his hand, ran his hand through a strand of hair by her ear, and put it in his hand and twisted. His voice was deep and hoarse.

"It's not as if you haven't slept with me."

She slapped his face hard.

The crisp sound of the slap made the heart trembled.

"Keep your mouth shut..."

Through clenched teeth, Elena said a word. But in the next moment, the man strangled her slender neck with a thrust of his palm.

The air was instantly thin.

Elena's face suddenly went white, and she did not doubt that this man would break her neck in the next second.

Andy lowered his head and his lips fell on her ear. It was a romantic movement, but it made Elena shiver stiffly.

"Elena, it's not like before. In the past, when you slapped me, I was still willing to give you my heart. But now... I will kill you."

Elena didn't show any weakness and glared at him. "If you dare, you should kill me now."

"You think I won't do it?" A tyrannical look came into Andy's eyes while the force of his hand increased.

The thin air was instantly drained, but Elena didn't even grunt. She said peacefully and slowly, "If what you did to me eight years ago is still not enough to vent your hatred, then go ahead and do it!"

As if stung by something, Andy abruptly let go of his hand. "Want to die? It's not that easy!"

He made a slight pause, and his eyes shown bloodthirsty cruelty. "Game just begins. Elena, I will get even with you for what happened eight years ago."

After saying that, he shrugged her off, threw her phone to the ground, and strode into the night.

The SUVs roared off and soon disappeared without a trace. Looking at the darkened street, Elena felt exhausted.

If it wasn't for her jaw being twisted by him to the point of almost dislocation, she would feel as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Miss, Miss..." the driver ran over with trepidation, "Are you alright, do you want to call 911?"

"I'm fine. Don't call 911."

Elena quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number, with an imperceptible tremor in her fingertips. "Reed, Andy he...he's back."

"I called you this afternoon, but you didn't pick up. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about it. He's back."

"When was that?"

"Three days ago."

He came to her when he had just been back for three days. Elena couldn't help but smile bitterly. "That's really a long time to meet again. Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road"

"Elena, Andy has complicated social connections, and he has a feud with you. So, when you run into him in the future, you should try to circumvent him."

Elena looked at the endless night, with her thin back trembling faintly. "Is it useful to circumvent him?"

...

The following day.

Scott Law Firm.

Elena was called into the office by Jackson when she was just off the elevator.

Jackson and she had the same mentor. After working in the government system for five or six years, he resigned to open a law firm while accumulating a few connections. He was quite successful in the capital.

"Elena, go out with me later."

"Where are we going?"

"Young Pharmaceuticals."

"What are you doing at Young Pharmaceuticals?"

Jackson could not hide the triumph on his face. "There is a change of power in Young Family. The Young Master No.2 returned home to take office. A change of sovereignty brings a change of ministers. The former group of lawyers was dismissed. I got this big case, am I amazing?"

The world might not know about the Young Family, but almost everyone knew about Young Pharmaceuticals.

Founded in the 1980s, this company was one of the earliest and largest biopharmaceutical companies in Britain. The drugs that developed and sold by this company were widely applied in the treatment of germ infections, bacterial infections, and cancer.

Young Pharmaceuticals was listed in the United States in early 2000, ranking in the World Fortune 500 in the same year. Few domestic pharmaceutical companies could rival it. At least half of the people in the country had taken the medicine of Young Pharmaceuticals.

The huge wealth inevitably led to internal family strife. The heir frequently had accidents due to the cruel strife. The heir position had even been vacant at one time.

Recently, rumor had it that there would be a mysterious person assigned to preside over the company. It turned out to be the Young Master No.2 that nobody had heard of.

However, Scott Law Firm was mainly engaged in criminal and civil litigation cases. Although the firm had two lawyers who focused on economic cases took a temporary position. They simply could not win such a large-scale enterprise like Young Pharmaceuticals with their qualifications.

Elena frowned. "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

Jackson said, "It was only settled last night, but I had flown five trips to the US before that and impressed them with my sincerity."

"Jackson, but my profession is not related to their business."

Jackson's eyes squinted. "I didn't put you in charge of Young Pharmaceuticals. Today is the first day of the Young Master's enthronement, and also the first day of our cooperation with Young Pharmaceuticals. Please help me to keep up appearances with your invincible beauty."

"That's all?" Elena looked surprised.

"What else do you want?"

...

Located in the commercial center of the capital, the headquarters of Young Pharmaceuticals was in a tall building that towered into the clouds.

They entered the building and identified themselves, and then the receptionist led them to the top thirty-eight floor where the president's office was located. It was magnificently decorated and killed people's eyes.

A beautiful lady in professional attire welcomed them. "Excuse me, please wait in the lounge area. President Green is meeting a guest. Would you like tea or coffee?"

"Thank you, tea. Please."

The tea was served. Jackson leaned closer to Elena and lowered his voice after the lady left. "The Young Pharmaceuticals is damn generous. Look, it is the Longjing tea picked before Grain Rain. It smells very good."

Elena frowned without saying anything.

The President of Young Pharmaceuticals should be surnamed Young, shouldn't it? Why was President Green here?

"What's going on? Why are you looked sad? We as a minister should be happy when our king ascended the throne. Please wear a smile on your face for a while." A look of disgust came over Jackson's face.

Elena showed her standard eight teeth. "Is this okay?"

"Fake smile," Jackson said.

As soon as he stopped, the door was opened, and a young man came out surrounded by people.

Elena looked up with a crunch of heart. She could hardly breathe.

How could it be him?

"Goodbye, Mr. Jones."

"Goodbye, Mr. Green."

Although Andy was exchanging pleasantries with his guest, he caught the figure at first glance from the corner of his eyes. His mouth curled up with a smile, and then he walked into the office.

There were tempestuous waves whipped up in Elena's heart. At this instant, her suspicion rose sharply to its peak.

A few minutes later, his assistant Nick Martin came over. "Lawyer Scott, Lawyer Smith, President Green is free now. Please come in."

"Thank you."

Jackson straightened his suit and tie and entered the door, smiling so much that the creases of his eyes came out.

"Young Master Green, we meet again. Congratulations!"

Andy sat in the leather chair with his fingers interlaced in front of the table, and his gaze nonchalantly fell upon Elena.

"She is?"
