To Love You Again-Chapter 737 - Escape

A black car was speeding fast along the dark road, behind it were two cars trying to close the distance on the car they were chasing.

Linfeng took something from below the seat.

A long suitcase.

He opened it and a few weapons were lying inside, from a long shotgun to a revolver pistol. On the second layer were bullets. Aside from the top quality bullets, there were also specialized bullets that could penetrate armored vehicles. But due to the limited amount, they must be used carefully.

Xiong Zhi held Linfeng's hand and squeezed.

"Be careful."

She knew that he needed to exchange fire in case the other side had weapons. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

Linfeng pulled her close and kissed her on the forehead.

"I will be careful. When the fire begins, you must cover yourself and crouch down, alright?"

"Mhm."

The light and gentle kiss on Xiong Zhi's forehead reminded her of that night, when he also kissed her lightly in the same place.

That was his last kiss with her, before taking his last breath.

Xiong Zhi clenched her hand. She would not let that happen.

She looked at the firearms on the suitcase. She had learned how to handle weapons before with Tang Xinyang. Although she could not accurately hit moving objects on the mark, if she had a weapon, she could at least fire at anything and should still manage to hit someone.

Xiong Zhi took a revolver handgun.

Linfeng saw it and stopped her hand. "It's alright. You have me."

"I need to have a weapon just in case. I know how to use a gun, Tang Xinyang taught me. Please let me have this."

Mr. Ji spoke at the front. "We will be at the intersection in fifteen seconds."

Two at the back, and more in front. There would be enemies at all sides.

Linfeng closed his eyes tightly and opened them. There was unwillingness in his eyes.

"Alright, but you only have to use them if necessary, do you understand?"

"Okay." Xiong Zhi kissed Linfeng on the lips briefly.

They prepared themselves. Since they were watching the three intersections closely, they noticed the sudden flash of headlights that appeared at the three corners.

"An ambush!" Mr. Ji shouted.

Linfeng pointed his gun and readied to shoot. Xiong Zhi crouched down a bit, as much as the seatbelt allowed to.

As expected, there were vehicles waiting at the three intersections.

The ones from the right side came fast as well, with the intention to surround them.

Mr. Ji: "Hold on tight!"

Mr. Ji pressed on the nitro-accelerator, his mind calculating constantly.

The sound of the engine revving louder was clear in the still of the night.

Vroooom….!

Both cars were coming from left and right.

Linfeng hugged Xiong Zhi. In case Mr. Ji failed, he had to protect her from the crash.

As the two cars were about to slam on their own deadly rushing car, Mr. Ji suddenly changed gears.

With a smooth drifting move and a shrill screech from the wheels, he braked. The car drifted to a side slide and slowed down all of the sudden.

The two cars from the left and right intersections crashed onto each other. The impact caused the cars to flip into the air, before crashing down into rolling tumbles in the middle of the road.

This crash effectively barricaded most of the intersection ahead. If the cars on the other side persisted to chase after them, they would have to pass through the small opening at the side one by one.

Mr. Ji's serious face did not waver. Their car instantly reversed and rushed back to where they came from earlier. They also b?r?ly avoided the crashing tumble of the vehicles after them.

It all happened in a few seconds.

Linfeng and Xiong Zhi were stunned, but they both sensibly did not disturb the one driving.

Mr. Ji was focused on the side mirror as he drove the car back at the fastest speed. The two cars that were previously chasing behind them since the beginning rushed past ahead towards the collision earlier and belatedly stopped.

They were probably shocked as well at the sudden side-stop, reverse, and turn of Mr. Ji.

Mr. Ji explained to the couple. "The cars at the front outnumber us in many ways. It will be impossible to get past them."

Linfeng nodded. There were eight cars at the front after all.

Mr. Ji continued. "We only have two cars on this side. I think it is easier to face those. Besides, I just need to hold on for another eight minutes."

Linfeng smiled admiringly.

Mr. Ji's response was unexpected, but it was the right call.

"That is right. The road is yours. You can do what you want with it."

Mr. Ji noded. The light in his eyes changed with excitement.

If they survived this, he planned to have a raise for using his full brain power and reflexes.

Mr. Ji inwardly shouted: Look here, mortals, the emperor of road drift is back!

Screeeech!

The sound of the tire rubbing the surface of the roads was shrill in the stormy night. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

The heavy storm clouds rolled with thunder.

Linfeng put down his gun. He looked back.

There were now ten cars chasing after them.

He commented. "Ming Zhi Yi really wants us dead. He is not afraid of the legendary families' retaliation anymore."

Xiong Zhi nodded. She already calmed down.

Even if fate had laid something for her, they still had the freedom to make unexpected decisions that could decide the moment and change the future, like what Mr. Ji just did earlier.

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

...

Mr. Ji held on until the back-up arrived.

When Zhou Min and the Xiong family's bodyguards managed to catch up, they were already in open fire.

Xiong Zhi's car had the highest specifications that could resist most bullets, so many of the bullets rained down with sparks and disappeared after leaving scratches on the armor of the car.

Linfeng and Mr. Ji made sure to avoid encirclement so none of the enemy's cars came near them. They managed to escape the chasing enemies, while Zhou Min and the rest successfully faced off with the enemy group.

At this time, just like in the past lifetime, the rain began to fall heavily.

The dark road was filled with gunshots and explosions.

Xiong Zhi looked back. Seeing the rain and heavy smoke from firearms and collisions made it feel like she had returned to the past.

She felt the familiar warm pair of strong arms envelope her, followed by a husky voice.

"You are safe now, Zhi'er."

The stable warmth gave her security and peace.

Xiong Zhi turned to look at Linfeng. She saw the relief in his eyes.

She smiled warmly. "Yes. I am safe now."

And so are you, Linfeng.

We thwarted fate once more.
