Knowing that he was about to be seriously injured by a fire, [Life is Like a Cup of Tea] felt a chill creeping up on him.
“Dr. Chen, I’m your longtime fan. You can’t leave me in the lurch.”
“As a doctor,” Chen Yu said calmly, “1 won’t leave you in the lurch.”
“Also, you came for a consultation, which proves that your illness can still be treated.”
“Am I sick? What illness do 1 have?”
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea] was thoroughly confused.
Chen Yu first told him that he would be sent to the hospital due to severe burns.
Then, Chen Yu added that he was sick.
While he was reassured that he wouldn’t be left to die, what was this?
“You have severe depression,” Chen Yu said slowly. “You just haven’t discovered it yet.”
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, his chat beamed with joy.
Such familiar words, such familiar rhythm.
They just wondered what could cause depression in [Life is Like a Cup of Tea]’s life.
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea asked with a bitter face, “Dr. Chen, let’s not talk about my illness for now.”
“Why would I be seriously injured?”
“Will the hotel room I’m in suddenly catch fire?”
“You’re staying in a five-star hotel,” Chen Yu said. “It has all the necessary fire protection facilities.”
“Even if there is a fire, it can be put out in a very short time.”
“The place where you encountered the fire won’t be in your room, but your car.”
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea] was shocked. “You mean, my car in the hotel parking lot caught fire for no reason?”
“It wasn’t a fire for no reason. It was set on fire by someone.”
“The arsonist isn’t anyone else,” Chen Yu said calmly. “It’s the driver you recently hired.”
“He wants to harm me?”
Chen Yu’s words were so earth-shattering that [Life is Like a Cup of Tea]’s face turned pale from fright.
He frequently watched Chen Yu’s livestreams, so he didn’t doubt Chen Yu’s predictions in the slightest.
He just couldn’t understand why his driver wanted to set fire to his car when he had no enmity with him.
“The driver deliberately set fire to my car and seriously injured me. Won’t he become the first suspect?”
“Moreover, he might be burned by the fire or even burned to death too.”
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea] was as confused as chat.
Logically speaking, unless gasoline or other flammable substances were placed underneath the car, it was impossible for [Life is Like a Cup of Tea] not to smell something strange.
It was only possible if the driver had an accomplice and forcefully shoved [Life is Like a Cup of Tea] into the car before starting a fire from the outside.
But this move was extremely stupid.
The most common things in the city were surveillance cameras.
No matter if it was in the streets, alleys, or corners, surveillance cameras could be seen everywhere.
It was almost impossible to burn someone to death in an urban area without anyone noticing.
But for the driver to set fire to the car while driving, that was something only a madman would do.
If the fire was ignited inside, the driver might not be able to escape either.
Noticing that chat’s confusion was exactly the same as his, [Life is Like a Cup of Tea] asked, “Dr. Chen, I don’t understand. How did the driver set fire to my car?”
“You and chat have fallen into a misunderstanding,” Chen Yu said slowly.
“You’re focusing on how the driver was going to avoid being discovered by the authorities after the driver set fire to your car.”
“If he had taken the method of mutual destruction, would these problems still exist?”
“Mutual destruction!”
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea] was shaken.
Why would the driver be so cruel to even himself?
Did he dig up his family’s ancestral grave or throw his child into a well?
Why would he want to die together for no reason?
“According to my analysis, the driver will lock the car’s doors and windows halfway through the journey,” Chen Yu said.
“He will open a barrel of oil under the passenger seat.”
“The oil barrel will be ignited in an instant. With the doors and windows locked, neither of you can escape.”
“At least you’re lucky enough to survive the fire.”
After saying this, Chen Yu smiled and continued.
It was [Life is Like a Cup of Tea]’s first time in the city he was in.
Especially the driver, who was very unfamiliar with the road conditions.
His driving depended entirely on a GPS.
There was a fire brigade not far from the location of the fire, and they were dispatched in time to put out the fire.
The oil barrel that the driver had ignited was next to him, so he was the first to be engulfed by the fire.
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea]’s situation was slightly better as he sat in the back.
He persevered until the fire brigade came and rescued him.
Although he was severely burned, he was still alive.
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea] was nearly depressed after hearing about his future.
“Dr. Chen, as long as 1 don’t sit in that car, i won’t get burned, right?”
Chen Yu nodded.
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea] heaved a sigh of relief and said with a relieved expression, “My ancestors have truly blessed me.”
As he spoke, [Life is Like a Cup of Tea] clasped his hands together and started praying.
Thank you, ancestors, for your blessings in heaven.
If it weren’t for Chen Yu’s livestream today and the fact that he was casually strolling around the livestream platform…
What awaited him next was a lifetime of pain.
What was the concept of a full body of severe burns?
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea] knew it clearly as, coincidentally, his business was in the pharmaceutical industry.
Now that [Life is Like a Cup of Tea] was sure that he would not die if he avoided the car ride, he relaxed and asked another question.
“Dr. Chen, I can confirm that before I hired the driver, I had never seen this person before, nor had I offended him.”
“Why would he commit suicide just to harm me?”
“Could he have been instructed by someone else?”
If they died together, it would always be a lose-lose situation. Without a deep hatred that was engraved in one’s heart, no one would do such a thing.
“Indeed, the driver has no enmity with you,” Chen Yu explained. “He was indeed instructed by someone else to harm you by taking you down with him.” “I understand now!”
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea] gritted his teeth and shouted, “It must be a competitor!”
His upcoming business deal was worth as much as 700 million yuan. Other than [Life is Like a Cup of Tea], another company was also qualified to get this business deal.
The two companies were equally powerful.
In order to get this business deal, he employed some tricks and posted all the dirt he had on his competitor online.
As a result, the competitor company suffered a storm of public opinion.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, [Life is Like a Cup of Tea] lowered some conditions, and only then did he get the chance to negotiate this business deal.
With the opponent’s ability, as long as they wanted to investigate, it was easy to find out who had posted the dirt on them.
It was reasonable to take revenge on him.
“Dr. Chen, thank you for pointing this out for me. I can’t ever repay your kindness.”
“I’ll call the police to arrest the driver when I end this call!”
“If my competitors want to kill me, I’ll destroy their reputation first!”
Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, “The driver is capable of committing suicide with you. Do you think he’ll easily reveal who ordered him to do so after he’s captured?”
“This…”
[Life is Like a Cup of Tea]’s hands suddenly stopped moving.
Someone capable of committing suicide for someone else proved that he was as ruthless as he could be to himself.
Even if he called the police and arrested the driver, the police might not even be able to pry open the driver’s mouth for a confession..
