In the night, a second-hand Jetta navigated through the traffic.
Lin Chen drove with a furrowed brow, lost in thought, while Li Xiaohan sat quietly beside him.
Bathed in moonlight, Li Xiaohan's beautiful eyes occasionally glanced at Lin Chen, filled with curiosity about this young man.
Just who was this young man? A fashion designer, a Divine Doctor, a martial arts expert, and now he had even beco the master of Shanghai's underworld.
Now, the more she looked at this young man before her, the more unclear he seed to her; he was like a riddle, feeling so close, yet also impossibly distant.
"Lin Chen, thank you for saving
again today," Li Xiaohan smiled, breaking the silence of the night.
"It's nothing, how could I let that kind of trash harm a woman who has been in a hotel room with ?" Lin Chen replied with a light smile.
As the two chatted, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang.
No sooner had he answered the call than Xiao Zixuan's voice ca through, "Lin Chen, please co save ... sob!"
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Chen's gaze turned icy.
Then a man's voice ca from the phone, "Kid, you're the Xiao family's bodyguard, ain't you? Tell the Xiao family to bring two billion to redeem her. If we don't see the money in an hour, we tear up the ticket."
With that, the call was disconnected.
"Damn it!" Lin Chen's eyes blazed with intense killing intent as he hung up the phone.
He opened his phone, and two little red dots appeared in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Lin Chen had installed special tracking devices on both of them, so he quickly locked onto their location.
"Xiaohan, I have sothing to deal with. You should get out of the car first," Lin Chen said anxiously.
"What's wrong? I'll co with you." Seeing the anxious look on Lin Chen's face, Li Xiaohan knew the situation must be quite tricky.
"No need, it's a bit dangerous," Lin Chen shook his head.
"I've been to the place you ntioned before. I know a shortcut that could be faster," Li Xiaohan said, looking at the map in Lin Chen's hands.
Glancing at the ti, although it was not the rush hour, there was still so traffic. Knowing a shortcut could indeed save a significant amount of ti.
"Then buckle up," Lin Chen instructed, and with a step on the accelerator, the car roared toward the old warehouse.
Li Xiaohan was thrown forward as the car shot off like an arrow released from a bow.
Wow, is this really a Jetta?
Watching the car's speedoter needle instantly soar to one hundred miles per hour, Li Xiaohan was flabbergasted.
This was happening in the bustling city center. Li Xiaohan felt dizzy and thought several tis that the Jetta would surely crash into the car ahead. However, Lin Chen reacted in an instant each ti, swerving around the vehicles.
After the traffic light, turn left.
"Lin Chen, you ran a red light! Watch out for the oncoming car!" As the large truck headed straight for the Jetta, Li Xiaohan nervously closed her eyes.
It's over, my life is over.
However, accompanied by the screeching sound of the tires, when she opened her eyes, she found that the Jetta had already made it to the opposite lane.
At that mont, Li Xiaohan felt her heart almost leap out of her chest.
All the way, she almost had to fight the urge to vomit as she gave Lin Chen directions.
She could hardly believe it, but in less than half an hour, Lin Chen had managed to drive from the east side of the city all the way to the west, and this was the notorious traffic-clogged Huhai!
A journey that would normally take two hours, Lin Chen had completed in just under forty minutes.
Lin Chen parked the car at the entrance of the abandoned factory, and Li Xiaohan couldn't bear it any longer; she rushed out of the car and started to violently throw up.
"Wait for
in the car, I'll be right back,"
said Lin Chen, hunching over as he used the bush cover to approach the factory.
Inside the factory, the Xiao sisters and Zhang Hui were tied up to the factory's steel fras.
Zhang Hui, who had always been known as an elite of the Dragon Group, was now shivering all over.
Zhang Hui was feeling very annoyed at the mont. He finally managed to get close to the two sisters, but ended up getting caught up in a kidnapping. This was just his damn bad luck.
"It's all my fault, Brother Zhang Hui, for getting you involved," said Xiao Ziting, feeling guilty.
Zhang Hui looked at Xiao Ziting and shook his head, "It's okay, if it weren't for Lin Chen, that bastard, causing
internal injuries, I would have dealt with these guys by now. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll definitely rescue you two."
Xiao Zixuan looked up coldly at Zhang Hui. Ziting was a naive girl; she couldn't see through things, but how could Xiao Zixuan not understand?
What Dragon Group elite, what one-man army—this guy was clearly a coward, completely unreliable.
At that mont, an image suddenly flashed through her mind; if he were here, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Just then, a scar-faced man entered the warehouse.
Seeing the man, Zhang Hui quickly shouted, "Brother, I know you're kidnapping us for money. Na your price. As long as you release us, I guarantee your demands will be t."
The scar-faced man sneered and fixed his icy gaze on Zhang Hui, "Want money? Sorry, you guessed wrong. What I want isn't money, it's life."
"Our target is Lin Chen. If he doesn't show up in an hour, we'll kill one person. Now one hour has passed; who will be the first?"
What? Not money, but life?
Hearing the scar-faced man's words, Zhang Hui turned pale instantly.
Damn, it was really that harbinger of doom's fault, getting him involved in this.
"Alright, there are ten minutes left. Who wants to go first? Weren't you just bragging about how great you were? You go first and be the dead man," said the scar-faced man coldly.
"Hey, don't lay a hand on Brother Zhang Hui. If you want to kill soone, kill
first," Xiao Ziting shouted with unexpected courage at the scar-faced man.
"Right, right, brother, don't kill , kill her first. Yes, that girl, she's Lin Chen's little lover, deeply in love. Threaten Lin Chen with her; it's bound to work," Zhang Hui finally couldn't care about face anymore. He had just been showing off to the Xiao sisters in hopes of impressing them. If his life was at stake, what was there left to fake?
"Zhang Hui, what did you say?" Xiao Ziting's face changed drastically upon hearing Zhang Hui's words.
With a pale face, Zhang Hui said, "Ziting, brother doesn't want to die. I haven't lived enough yet. Go die for , and if I live through this, I'll burn so paper money for you."
At that mont, Xiao Ziting's face turned as grim as water. This so-called Dragon Group elite, this man who claid he would take a bullet for his brothers, was just a coward afraid to die. She had been deceived, fooled by this bastard.
The scar-faced man chuckled, "Beauty, I really feel sorry for you, ready to die for such a man."
A look of regret crossed Xiao Ziting's face. She regretted framing Lin Chen, shouldn't have believed Zhang Hui's nonsense, and shouldn't have driven Lin Chen away. But it was all too late now.
"Let her go, I'll be the first to die," said a cold voice all of a sudden.
"Sister!" Watching Xiao Zixuan's resolute eyes, tears of regret instantly began to stream down Xiao Ziting's face.
