As they drove through a desolate stretch of road, Liu Xiangli felt an unsettling sense of discomfort rising within her.
At this moment, there was an old woman by the side of the road, who eagerly started waving her hand as she saw their vehicle approach.
Was the old woman ill?
Or was she involved in a traffic accident?
Or had she merely fallen by accident?
Before, Liu Xiangli would have halted without a second thought to help the other party. But now, during this critical period, she hesitated and decided not to stop the car for safety's sake.
Li Huai also noticed the old woman. Seeing that Liu Xiangli did not intend to stop, he couldn't resist saying, "Honey, that old lady looks so pitiful. Can we just leave like this without helping her?"
"I want to help too. But now we're self-defenseless like a clay Buddha crossing the river. Besides," Liu Xiangli knew this reason wasn't enough to persuade Li Huai, so she added, "Out of the blue, an overtly empty stretch of road and an old woman appears. Is this normal? And I feel like we've been watched for some time now. What if she's involved in some wrongdoing? We shouldn't take chances."
Li Huai didn't respond further. Liu Xiangli thought he had given up on his insistence, which gave her a sense of relief. Nevertheless, to her surprise, He Nanqing suddenly screamed, "Xiangli, Li Huai has gotten out of the car!"
Li Huai got out of the car?
What joke is He Nanqing playing?
From beginning to end, Liu Xiangli didn't stop the car. With that speed, wouldn't Li Huai get severely injured if he jumped off?
Besides, Liu Xiangli didn't hear the car door open at all from start to finish.
However, when Liu Xiangli looked back, Li Huai was indeed not in the car. She quickly stepped on the brake, stopping the car at the side of the road, and saw that Li Huai was indeed running towards the old woman.
"How did he get out?" Liu Xiangli was stunned.
"Uncle flew out of the window, just like Superman. Uncle is really amazing!" Xiao Bao clapped her little hands, extremely excited.
Flew out of the window?
At such a high speed, he was unscathed?
Liu Xiangli and He Nanqing looked at each other, both thoroughly overawed by this 'monster'.
As Li Huai approached the old woman, Liu Xiangli reversed the car.
Before Li Huai could speak, the old woman lying on the ground flashed a barely noticeable icy smile. Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, and a sharp dagger emerged in her hand, stabbing straight at Li Huai's chest.
There was indeed a problem!
"Li Huai, look out!" Liu Xiangli's face drained of color. However, before her warning had time to peter out, the impostor posing as the old woman was kicked away by Li Huai, flying through the air as though they were a soccer ball.
So they were indeed being watched. Otherwise, how would one explain this old woman?
The enemy couldn't possibly be working alone. It would be wise to allow Li Huai back in the vehicle and retreat while they can.
But before Liu Xiangli had a chance to call Li Huai, about a dozen Toyota Prados suddenly boxed in their Buick business van from all sides.
Next, dozens of men dressed in black jumped out of the cars. All wearing black suits and shades, each of them emanated a murderous aura; an obvious indication of a premeditated ambush.
Griping the steering wheel tightly with every ounce of strength, Liu Xiangli was barely hanging on. After a narrow escape from the hands of human traffickers, just as they were about to make it back to Jianghai, they find themselves in another inescapable predicament. Was she destined to walk the road to the underworld?
No, she could not accept this!
Someone must be behind all this, scheming everything with the purpose of getting rid of her. Yet she had no idea who the enemy could be. Who would willingly die without retaliation in such a situation?
But how could they resist an overwhelming force with such numbers?
For a moment, Liu Xiangli was once again consumed by a feeling of helplessness, even despair.
Liu Xiangli, who had been through countless storms, was utterly helpless, completely at a loss, let alone He Nanqing who had just graduated from college.
This was like a scene straight out of an American blockbuster, except the other party was coming at them with such ferocity, that He Nanqing was no longer excited; she only felt fear.
Just then, Li Huai returned to the Buick like a ghostly shadow, "Sister Wife, leave these guys to me. You drive off first, I will follow soon!"
Before Liu Xiangli had a chance to react, Li Huai had already charged in.
"How dare you bully my Sister Wife, don't you want to live?" Li Huai charged over and instantly unleashed the Frost Fist. As soon as the punch was thrown, it seemed as if a thunderbolt had erupted in the air. With this single punch, Li Huai took down three guys.
Seeing a few bastards moving closer, He Nanqing shouted in fear, "Sister Xiangli, they're coming, let's get out of here!"
To stay would only distract Li Huai and hinder him.
"Nanqing, hold Xiao Bao tightly!" Liu Xiangli hit the accelerator, driving a short distance forward, and suddenly swerved, the Buick making a beautiful drift, knocking back the guys who were moving closer. Then she stepped on the gas again, smashing through two Prados, managing to break out of the enemy's surrounding.
Those thunderous noises triggered by the collisions, not to mention He Nanqing, even Liu Xiangli herself was also terrified. Before this, who could predict that such a scene would happen in her life?
However, after Liu Xiangli had driven a certain distance, she stopped. Leaving Li Huai alone battling, could this be the right decision?
Moreover, she was their target, which filled Liu Xiangli's heart with deep remorse.
"Nanqing, I remember you said you could drive, right? You drive off with Xiao Bao first!"
"Sister Xiangli, what about you?"
"Even if I die, I will not abandon Li Huai!"
Just as Liu Xiangli was about to open the car door, there was a loud bang. The Buick was violently hit, nearly overturning. It turned out that the enemies had caught up, with three Prados.
Another Prado crashed into them!
Liu Xiangli quickly gripped the steering wheel, turning it sharply to the right. She managed to dodge in the nick of time.
But from their posture, it was clear that they intended to continue crashing until the Buick was overturned, and everyone in the car was sent to the underworld, until they give up.
"Let's fight it out!"
Liu Xiangli gritted her teeth, skilfully drifted the car, reversing the Buick direction to face the three Prados head-on.
Like four frenzied beasts, each of them was furiously stomping on the accelerator and the roaring engine sound was like the howling of the wild beasts.
Prado? Just a Japanese car, while their Buick was an American model. They wanted to hit? Let's see who could hit harder!
Right, Liu Xiangli's favorite hobby during her study abroad was Formula Racing.
If her grandfather had not fallen suddenly ill, and she hadn't had to go back home to handle family business, perhaps she would become the first female F1 racer in Huaxia!
Liu Xiangli took the initiative to attack, but the other side was not a vegetarian either. They were quite experienced, and the three Prados formed an unbreakable fortress line with only a few centimeters of gap between them.
One against three?
Even though Liu Xiangli was driving an American car, and the opponent was driving a Japanese car, the chances of winning were still very small.
When the two sides were about to collide, Liu Xiangli changed her strategy.
Even though the three Prados blocked the road, there was still leftover space on either side. Liu Xiangli was confident in her driving skills.
Just as the enemies increased speed, and they were about to collide, Liu Xiangli suddenly turned the steering wheel sharply. The Buick made a 180-degree drift, not only dodging the three Prados but successfully getting behind them.
What's that old saying? Never leave your back to the enemy.
Liu Xiangli smirked, giving them no chance to turn around, she increased speed, straightly crashing the Buick into the three Prados.
