Chapter 77: The Fast and the Furious

Xi Huaizhi aimed neatly at the person in the passenger seat on the right: "Understood."

The Colt pistol was equipped with a silencer, reducing the movement noise of parts like the bolt and trigger as well as the supersonic shockwave, but it still produced a certain amount of noise, though not enough to cause too much of a stir.

His slender fingers pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

Two low gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.

Target hit!

"Screech!"

The sound of tires violently scraping against the ground.

The person in the driver's seat of the SUV on the right was hit, blood instantly spraying out; the vehicle simultaneously lost control, its tires carving an uncontrollable trajectory into the ground, nearly sparking, as it headed straight for the guardrail.

The world spun inside the car in an instant.

"Shake them off first." Ling Wu looked calmly to both sides, his slender, bamboo-like fingers adjusting the steering wheel; he floored the gas pedal, instantly drifting through a turn and speeding along the wide highway, the wind whistling past his ears, blowing his black hair.

Several gunshots followed closely from behind.

They struck the car Ling Wu and the others were in with a dull thud.

Yin Huaiyu had a few drops of blood on his cheek, his peach-blossom eyes looking as if they had been dampened by blood, filled with killing intent and coldness as he issued an order: "Have the people inside Ganan City come out to provide support."

"Catch the person, kill them."

The two SUVs chased each other, speeding along the empty road; due to the vehicles' performance, the distance was gradually closing.

Xi Huaizhi glanced at the lane on the right: "Adu, a car is coming!"

In a high-speed driving situation, the possibility of survival if a car accident occurs is significantly reduced.

Ling Wu was fully focused, seeing Yin Huaiyu's gloomy face through the rearview mirror as he drove, then he cast a glance to the right, where that car was constantly closing in.

50 meters.

20 meters.

Adrenaline would soar in a highly tense situation, but Ling Wu appeared very relaxed and calm.

Xi Huaizhi: "Slow down!"

"Hold on tight." Ling Wu jerked the steering wheel, his gaze firm, his voice soothing like a tranquilizer: "They can't stop me."

Yin Huaiyu saw the SUV ahead suddenly stop moving forward and instead violently turn around, heading straight for him; the car body made a beautiful 180-degree turn, its speed like a torrent, the tires carving a bright arc on the ground.

The fronts of the two cars faced each other, about to collide.

No matter what the other party wanted to do.

This kind of behavior was too crazy.

Simply a lunatic!

Yin Huaiyu was forced to step on the brakes.

As the car fishtailed, he saw the face of the driver in that black SUV, young and ordinary, but those eyes, hidden under hair ruffled by the wind, appeared exceptionally bright and firm, beautiful like obsidian.

Yin Huaiyu frowned.

As they locked eyes, he actually felt as if he had seen these eyes somewhere before.

【Who is this person? The eyes are actually quite good-looking】

【Young Master Yin is actually going to find Huo Xi General, so does that mean it won't be long before the villain knows he is the Crown Prince? I'm looking forward to this part of the plot the most】

【As the saying goes, how can the protagonist be as interesting as the villain】

【Not to mention anything else, the other party's driving skills are truly cool; daring to turn directly at this high speed, it might have flipped, but in this comic, from the protagonist down to the supporting characters, everyone has heaven-defying looks, this one is too ordinary... probably a passerby】

【Is this one of Huo Xi's people?】

【I have to say, Yin Huaiyu is pretty tough; if someone died next to me, I would be scared out of my wits, who else could drive so single-mindedly like him? No wonder he can be the protagonist!】

【Yin Huaiyu shouldn't be able to catch Huo Xi General, right】

【No... these eyes look a bit like my wife Ling Wu.】

【The person in the previous comment, how does this look like a supporting male character? Do you have the Fiery Eyes of Sun Wukong!】

The car's momentum slid forward a few meters, the gap between the two vehicles remaining less than two meters; the sound of the wind at high speed was in his ears, and Yin Huaiyu saw the person in the driver's seat decisively raise their hand, the sharpness in their eyes fully exposed.

Alarm bells rang in Yin Huaiyu's heart, and he immediately half-crouched down.

"Bang!"

Ling Wu shot out a tire with one bullet.

Following the slight gunshot, the black SUV turned around again to break out of the encirclement and sped away.

Yin Huaiyu watched them leave, clenching his fist and smashing it against the steering wheel, his eyes full of rage.

He opened the car door, looked at the corpse in the passenger seat, and cast his gaze toward his subordinates: "Send a pension to their family."

Yin Huaiyu brushed back his hair, ignoring the blood on his face, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, looking at the end of the road, his voice raspy from the smoke: "Whose jurisdiction is Ganan in?"

A subordinate trembled: "It... it is the Jing Family's."

Yin Huaiyu dialed Jing Du with one hand, and the other side answered quickly, a pleasant voice coming through—

"Hello?"

Yin Huaiyu: "Adu, Ganan is your family's jurisdiction, right?"

Jing Du was concise: "Yes."

"What's wrong?"

Yin Huaiyu exhaled a smoke ring: "My dad sent me to Ganan to chase that batch of arms, ran into some trouble, help me lock down the whole city, don't let anyone run."

Jing Du: "Small favor, wait for my news."

"Beep—"

The call hung up.

Yin Huaiyu recalled the figure and appearance of that person; his mind was filled with the opponent's resolute and decisive gunshot. His train of thought was very clear: destroying their tires could stop them from advancing without going so far as to kill the heir and make an enemy of the entire Yin Family.

The confrontation lasted no more than a few minutes.

Yet it was evident that the opponent possessed astonishing boldness and keen senses.

Twenty minutes later, people from the Yin Family arrived from within Ganan City, and Yin Huaiyu pulled open the car door and entered Ganan.

Ganan.

Ling Wu and Xi Huaizhi were sitting at a roadside stall eating beef noodles; Xi Huaizhi naturally picked the beef from his own bowl into Ling Wu's, his gaze directed toward the grocery store opposite: "The owner of that grocery store is Huo Xi."

Following his gaze, the person at the front checkout was a young man.

Ling Wu bit through the noodle in his mouth: "Don't alert the enemy."

Xi Huaizhi patted his chest: "Rest assured."

"I've already thought of a plan; just watch me in a moment."

Ling Wu: "What plan?"

Xi Huaizhi beckoned him over, and Ling Wu leaned his ear in; the other's warm breath sprayed against his earlobe as he told him the plan exactly as it was.

"Fine," Ling Wu said: "I'll cooperate with you."

After finishing the noodles, Ling Wu walked toward the grocery store; he arrived at the counter, looked at the row of cigarette cabinets, and pointed at one: "Trouble you to get me a pack of Liqun."

The clerk nodded: "Alright, please wait a moment."

"25 yuan."

Ling Wu took a few small bills from his pocket and handed them over; just then, a tall man with long legs walked in from outside, snatched the cigarettes away, and slammed them onto the table: "Pretty boy, do you even know how to smoke these?"

Subsequently, Xi Huaizhi lifted his chin like a local hooligan: "This pack of cigarettes, I'm taking it."

Ling Wu cursed at him: "Are you sick?"

"Who are you calling a pretty boy?"

"I'm calling you that, so what?" Xi Huaizhi said provokingly: "Pretty boy, to hell with your 'first come, first served'; whatever I set my eyes on is mine, understand?"

The clerk watched, dumbfounded.

He said in a low voice: "There are more of the same cigarettes... on the shelf."

Ling Wu and Xi Huaizhi turned their heads simultaneously: "Shut up!"

"If you act tough again, believe it or not, I'll kill you?"

"Go ahead and kill me then."

"......."

Xi Huaizhi slammed a fist onto the table and asked the clerk: "Tell me, whose cigarettes are these?"

"If you can't say it, I'll smash your lousy shop and leave your whole family out in the cold!"
