Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1099: 1074: Because They Are Quacks

Lin Wanrou stayed quiet, simply shaking her head.

Hawk Country's highways teem with vehicles, including numerous large trucks.

Moreover, driving occurs on the opposite side there, making her anxious that Ye Chen might lack experience with it.

“Come on, you’re so exhausted your eyes are barely staying open—let me take the wheel.”

“Are you certain you can manage?”

Lin Wanrou felt genuinely weary and inquired.

Ye Chen grinned: “Relax, I’m a seasoned driver.”

Lin Wanrou nodded.

She was experiencing some dizziness right now, and pressing on with driving posed risks to safety.

“We’re on the highway though, and Hawk Country’s rules forbid stopping.”

Ye Chen grinned: “Who says we need to stop for a switch? Trust me on this.”

Ye Chen instructed, “Grip the wheel tight, slide over to the passenger side, and I’ll shift across—we’ll swap seamlessly.”

Lin Wanrou nodded, released her seatbelt, and rose up.

She wore a sleek, doctor-inspired pencil skirt that day.

Her figure turned utterly captivating, especially as she leaned forward.

Ye Chen’s pulse quickened at the sight.

Composing himself, Ye Chen unfastened his seatbelt and edged toward the driver’s position.

Even in the spacious CRV cabin,

their bodies brushed intimately during the seat exchange.

A faint blush colored Lin Wanrou’s cheeks as she settled into the passenger seat and shot Ye Chen a look.

“Did you pull that switch just to get handsy with me?”

Ye Chen feigned innocence: “No way, I’m not like that.”

While saying it, Ye Chen fixed his gaze ahead, gripping the wheel with feigned focus.

Deep down, though, Ye Chen felt delighted.

That brief touch had been utterly enchanting.

He couldn’t deny it—his wife boasted an amazing physique, making the moment pure bliss.

Regrettably, being in Hawk Country forced him to restrain himself.

Lin Wanrou shot Ye Chen an eye roll, but exhaustion overtook her swiftly.

She soon drifted into sound sleep.

Noticing Lin Wanrou asleep, Ye Chen ramped up the speed.

The vehicle surged ahead like a bow-released arrow.

Despite the dense traffic, Ye Chen’s car glided ghostly through the lanes.

Meanwhile, a Ferrari sports car roared along the highway.

A stunning young woman blasted rock music while driving.

Her sharp eyes caught a blur streaking past.

The passenger girl narrowed her eyes.

“Anna, did something just zip by us?”

Anna replied, “A Mercedes CRV.”

“Insane speed!” An Ya exclaimed in shock.

Anna eyed the CRV bolting away like an arrow, her gaze igniting with rivalry.

Excitement lit up her face.

“Overtaking me like that? I’ll run you down.”

Anna slammed the pedal, accelerating wildly.

Ye Chen spotted the red sports car closing in via the rearview and furrowed his brow.

Evidently, his earlier pass had sparked their provocation.

Ye Chen realized catching up from these spoiled types would spell endless hassle.

Better to shake them off.

Ye Chen mashed the accelerator, boosting speed further.

He wrenched the wheel sharply, pulling off daring drifts to surge past others.

Though Anna chased fiercely, the gap between them widened relentlessly.

Anna stared in disbelief.

“Is that guy insane? That speed’s suicidal.”

Anna yearned to pursue but feared matching it.

In such clogged traffic, that velocity courted disaster.

Anna scowled, pursing her crimson lips: “Never thought I’d meet a street-racing expert. I have to track him down.”

Before long, they entered the city, and Ye Chen roused Lin Wanrou.

Waking to find them off the highway, Lin Wanrou gaped in amazement.

“You flew! It usually takes over two hours, but you did it in under one.”

Ye Chen smiled: “Fewer cars today, I guess, so I pushed a little harder.”

Lin Wanrou eyed him skeptically: “On the main highway? Traffic’s never light there.”

Following Lin Wanrou’s directions, Ye Chen guided the car to an opulent estate.

Though aware of her family’s viscount status and wealth in Hawk Country, Ye Chen hadn’t anticipated such grandeur.

Ye Chen pulled into the estate.

Hardly parked, a maid-attired middle-aged woman approached.

“Miss Wanrou, welcome back—the master’s ill again and keeps asking for you.”

Lin Wanrou’s brow creased as she hurried toward the house.

“Grandpa hasn’t taken his meds?” Lin Wanrou questioned while striding.

“He has, but it looks like the master’s built tolerance; the drugs aren’t effective now.”

The sprawling estate meant a trek to the antique house.

Surprisingly for Ye Chen, it featured classic Chinese architecture.

Spotting a Hua-style manor in Hawk Country proved startling.

Lin Wanrou explained: “Grandma hailed from Hua Country, meeting Grandpa there before joining him here. To soothe her nostalgia, they built it Chinese-style.”

Ye Chen now grasped the fully Chinese design.

They traversed the hallway into a chamber.

“Wanrou, you’ve returned—I fetched the top doctor for Grandpa.” A West Asian man rushed up to Lin Wanrou.

Ye Chen blinked in recognition; it was a familiar face.

This West Asian turned out to be Sha Country’s Prince Calis.

Calis noticed Ye Chen too and scowled deeply.

Back in Hua Country, Ye Chen had tormented Calis badly.

Now, rivals clashed anew, fury blazing once more.

Lin Wanrou entered her grandfather’s room.

An elderly man reclined in bed, hooked to tubes, as doctors fussed over machines.

“Grandpa, how do you feel?” Lin Wanrou dashed to his side.

“Wanrou, my dear, you’re here. Grandpa’s not faring well.”

Tears streamed down Lin Wanrou’s cheeks at his words.

Raised in Hawk Country, she’d been her grandfather’s favorite.

Years ago, she’d left with her parents for Hua Country.

Reuniting after so long under these dire conditions shattered her.

Calis assured: “Miss Wanrou, don’t worry—I’ve summoned elite doctors to buy the old gentleman three more days.”

Three days?

Learning her grandfather had mere days left twisted Lin Wanrou’s expression further.

“How did it worsen this much?” Lin Wanrou demanded icily.

Ye Chen stated coolly: “Because they’re quacks; the old man could’ve pulled through, but you’ll have finished him off in three days.”
