"Chairwoman Li! The brakes have failed!"
The terrified shout shattered the silence inside the luxury sedan.
Rain hammered relentlessly against the windshield as the black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the winding mountain highway. The wipers swung frantically from side to side, yet they could barely keep up with the heavy downpour.
The driver gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his face drained of all color.
"I can't stop the car!"
"The brakes aren't responding!"
The dashboard erupted with warning lights.
The speedometer climbed higher.
100...
120...
140 kilometers per hour.
The sedan shot down the mountain road like a black arrow.
Yet, the woman seated in the back seat was surprisingly calm.
Li Yue.
Twenty-eight-year-old founder of the Yue International Group.
Chairwoman of the world's largest medical conglomerate.
The youngest self-made female billionaire in history.
Owner of hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology laboratories, research institutes, restaurants, hotels, logistics companies, and agricultural enterprises spanning more than eighty countries.
Around the world, countless people called her the Miracle Business Queen.
Doctors admired her.
Entrepreneurs respected her.
Governments sought her advice.
Investors fought to work with her.
Everything she touched seemed to become a miracle.
Yet no amount of wealth or influence could stop a car whose brakes had been deliberately destroyed.
Li Yue slowly lifted her gaze, her eyes filled with cold calculation.
Her sharp gaze swept across the dashboard before settling on the frightened driver.
"When did you notice?"
The driver swallowed hard.
"About thirty seconds ago... tried everything to stop the car, but the brakes are completely gone!"
Li Yue leaned back against the leather seat.
Thirty seconds... that was enough to know this wasn't an accident.
Someone who knew her schedule, who knew she would personally inspect the new mountain research center today, wanted her dead.
Someone...
Very close to her.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
The driver looked at her in disbelief.
"Chairwoman... aren't you scared?"
Scared?
Li Yue almost laughed.
Fear was a luxury she had left behind years ago when she was sixteen and had lost both parents in a factory explosion.
At eighteen, relatives had tried to seize the tiny company her parents left behind.
