"Shit!"

In the dark night, in front of a cliff face, beside a large rock, an SUV collided with the rock, smoke rising from the car's hood. Ye Tianyu, sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but swear.

Blood was streaming down Ye Tianyu's forehead, down his cheek, but this wasn't his main injury. His leg hurt violently, which was the real reason he cursed.

"Get out of here!"

The voice came from the backseat, a young man speaking, looking a bit disheveled himself, considering the collision was quite severe. However, he wasn't injured.

Ye Tianyu was displeased hearing this; their car had been hit, and he was injured. Shouldn't they confront the other party?

Yet, the young man had made his decision, and Ye Tianyu dared not argue further, biting his lip, bearing the intense pain, attempting to start the car.

Despite his efforts, the car wouldn't start.

"No good, this car won't run!" Ye Tianyu gave up and said.

The young man frowned. The reason he didn't bother with Lin Fan and chose to leave quickly was because he feared things might get worse. After all, enemies had already appeared, and the police might soon follow. It was better to leave.

"Get out of the car!"

The young man decided immediately; since the car was broken, there was no point staying inside.

The young man got out of the car right away.

Ye Tianyu also opened the door despite the pain, stumbling as he got out.

Both looked towards Lin Fan's car.

The car in front sat quietly in the middle of the road, with no movement from inside.

"This car looks familiar, damn, isn't it Hong Jinmao's car?" Ye Tianyu exclaimed. He hadn't noticed it earlier due to the dark night and his focus on escaping, but now, seeing it clearly, he recognized it.

"The person in the car isn't Hong Jinmao," said the young man, now alert, watching the driver's seat intently.

Lin Fan sat in the driver's seat, eyes on the rearview mirror, through which he could see the young man and Ye Tianyu.

"Who are you, get out of the car!" Ye Tianyu shouted, blaming Lin Fan for his injuries, his temper flaring.

The young man said, "That wasn't an accident; he deliberately forced our car to stop. Looks like Hong Jinmao has fallen into their hands."

Ye Tianyu was suspicious. How did they find Hong Jinmao?

Meanwhile, the car ahead remained motionless.

"Friend, step out and let's talk," the young man said.

The car door in front finally opened, and Lin Fan stepped out.

After ensuring neither of them had firearms, Lin Fan felt at ease. Though he had taken Strengthening Blood Serum Capsules, he wasn't strong enough to withstand bullets—that would be too much.

Lin Fan was now a formidable presence, having gained a powerful force inside him, allowing him to perform like a martial arts master. However, he couldn't fully control this power; he was still practicing.

Seeing Lin Fan, a young man around twenty years old, Ye Tianyu and the young man were surprised.

Lin Fan was too young; typically, someone so young wouldn't be strong.

Ye Tianyu instantly felt relieved.

"Who are you, and why are you driving Hong Jinmao's car?" the young man asked Lin Fan, reassured seeing Lin Fan unarmed.

Lin Fan smiled, "I'm here for Ye Tianyu. Hand him over; I'm bringing him back to the city."

Ye Tianyu was shocked, "So you are one of them! What have you done to Hong Jinmao?"

Lin Fan replied, "I don't know what happened to Hong Jinmao."

Ye Tianyu retorted, "Stop pretending; your people attacked us because Hong Jinmao fell into your hands and revealed our whereabouts!"

Lin Fan acknowledged, realizing that the Masked Woman was quite efficient. This made Ye Tianyu a hot commodity, with at least three parties vying for him today.

"Kid, give us your car and I'll let you go," the young man said coolly. He wasn't interested in talking further, only wanting to leave the place quickly.

Lin Fan replied, "That won't do. My goal is to bring Ye Tianyu back to the city; he's a fugitive. You'd better not obstruct me—helping a fugitive is illegal."

The young man coldly replied, "Law means nothing to me!"

Lin Fan persisted, "That's wrong. If you're here, the law governs you, so don't tempt fate. I'm set on taking Ye Tianyu, but if you leave now, there's still time—for you, I'm not interested."

The young man chuckled, "You're confident you can take him from me?"

Lin Fan affirmed, "Yes, I'm confident."

The young man's tone darkened, "Insolent!"

Lin Fan smiled, "Ye Tianyu escaped from Yun City Prison because Hong Jinmao said 'they're coming,' referring to you, right?"

The young man replied, "You know, yet you chose to challenge us?"

Lin Fan said, "That's not right. I just want to take Ye Tianyu; you're the one blocking me, asking for trouble."

The young man sneered, "You have no idea who you're provoking!"

Ye Tianyu agreed, "Indeed, I advise against being stupid! He's not someone you can afford to provoke. If you don't want trouble, leave now!"

Ye Tianyu remembered the corpses in the farmhouse, knowing the young man's prowess. He doubted Lin Fan could contend with him.

"I only want this car, giving you a chance to escape. You'd better cherish it!" the young man said.

Lin Fan replied, "Then there's nothing more to say. I won't give up the car, but I do offer you a chance to escape—just leave Ye Tianyu."

The young man grew angry, "You refuse generosity, choosing punishment instead, seeking hell. Don't blame me; your time is up! When you reach King Yama, tell him this is your fate for provoking the wrong people!"

The young man realized Lin Fan might be stalling for backup, deciding to dispense with talking and deal with Lin Fan quickly!

With that thought, the young man advanced toward Lin Fan, ready to act.

Lin Fan said, "Oh, it's a pity; I don't want to meet King Yama just yet. You claim to be untouchable, but who on earth are you?"

The young man grinned wickedly, "You can ask King Yama."

Ye Tianyu shook his head, Lin Fan really was courting death. The young man offered a chance to flee, yet he squandered it. Likely, he'd soon find himself with King Yama.
