Chapter 117: These people were coming for her!

After Sheng Yu got into the car, he took out his phone and subconsciously dialed a string of numbers, yet the other end of the line still prompted that it was powered off, just as before.

He dialed Situ's number instead.

The ringing tone lasted for a long time before turning into a busy signal; Situ did not answer the phone either.

This had never happened before.

Sheng Yu's gaze turned sharp. "Drive faster, tell the other cars to catch up."

Enzo sensed a hint of danger, immediately opened the communication device on his chest to issue orders, and simultaneously floored the accelerator.

Ten minutes ago.

Situ was driving to take Zhu Yuan away; Zhu Yuan remained quiet in the car, and the air pressure inside was very low. Situ was not as eloquent as Enzo, nor would he take the initiative to start a conversation.

It was obvious that Zhu Yuan was angry, and he did not know what to say to soothe her.

He had no choice but to remain silent.

The car remained quiet until they reached the fork in the road ahead.

Even the slightest movement made Situ heighten his vigilance.

Sure enough, just as he subconsciously began to speed up, several black sedans suddenly came speeding from the two forks in the road, the roar of engines surrounding them as they charged through the dense curtain of rain.

Situ's expression tightened, and he said in a low voice, "Miss Zhu, hold on tight!"

The speed of the car increased abruptly; Zhu Yuan hurriedly gripped the handle on the door to steady herself so she wouldn't hit the door, while simultaneously watching the vehicles surging in from all sides.

Her whole body stiffened—these people were coming for her!

There was no time to think about who else she could have offended besides Ning Chu; Situ pushed the car to its maximum speed, and the vehicle sped off like lightning.

However, there were too many of the opposing party; not only were they blocking them from the forks on both sides, but several cars were also speeding toward them on the main road ahead.

Situ held the steering wheel with one hand and pulled a pistol from behind his waist with the other, lowered the window, and without hesitation, fired at the car coming toward them!

"Bang!" a gunshot rang out.

The bullet hit a tire, and that car immediately lost control and crashed into the vehicles beside it.

With a huge crashing sound, both cars flew off.

Situ immediately steadied the steering and drove toward the gap created by the two crashing cars.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out, and bullets hit the car's bulletproof glass; Zhu Yuan's right ear suddenly felt a sharp pain, and it was immediately filled with a buzzing sound, as if she couldn't hear anything.

She covered her ear, which was aching from the sound, with one hand, while the other hand gripped the car handle tightly.

"Situ, move to the passenger seat, I'll drive!"

Situ's expression changed. "Miss Zhu, please don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety, just sit tight."

However, those cars were getting closer and closer, and when she saw several more cars driving toward them from the front, Zhu Yuan raised her voice: "Move over!"

She didn't know how to shoot and couldn't deal with those people, and if Situ had to divide his attention between shooting and driving, it wouldn't be long before they were forced to a stop by those cars, and then they would both be finished!

Situ frowned, but in the end, he listened to Zhu Yuan and moved to the passenger seat.

Zhu Yuan climbed into the driver's seat and gripped the steering wheel tightly; her driving skills were not as good as Situ's, but this road was flat, and it was purely a contest of speed.

She would leave the rest to Situ.

Amidst the overwhelming sound of engines and gunshots, Zhu Yuan's hearing gradually returned; hearing these sounds, it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid—when had she, an ordinary person, ever witnessed such a scene?

But pushed to this point, no matter how afraid she was, she could not back down.

Just then, the roaring sound of engines burst out from the small woods beside the main road.

Seeing those cars closing in, Situ had run out of bullets in his gun.

He pulled out the Swiss Army knife from his thigh, and heard Zhu Yuan curse, "If we're going to die, we die together! Nobody gets to have it easy! Damn it!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuan's eyes had turned red, suddenly those cars that had emerged from the small woods drove behind them, one after another intercepting the vehicles that had been chasing them.

However, Zhu Yuan did not dare to stop easily until the door of the car behind them opened, Dong Shu, dressed in a black leather jacket, stepped out, and the surroundings quieted down; then, Situ's phone rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Sheng Yu, Situ hurriedly answered, "Young Master Yu!"

"Where is she?" The man's breathing on the other end of the line was clearly ragged.

Situ glanced at Zhu Yuan beside him, who had almost been driven to a killing frenzy; at this moment, she had stepped on the brake, appearing calm as she caught her breath, but in reality, her hands were trembling with tension, and her pretty face was devoid of color.

"Miss Zhu is fine."

Sheng Yu's bodyguards, who had caught up from behind, had also intercepted several cars, and Sheng Yu's car drove to the front, stopping beside Situ's vehicle.

The car door opened, and the cold wind whipped up the man's long black trench coat.

Zhu Yuan was still shaken, her eyes seemingly unfocused, finding it difficult to pull herself away from the thrilling turn of events just now.

She did not notice the man approaching.

Suddenly, the car door was opened from the outside.

Zhu Yuan's heart tightened, and she looked over abruptly; the panic and lingering fear in her eyes were undisguised at this moment, yet the instant she recognized the man, she forced herself to suppress them.

She gritted her teeth and, without a word, prepared to push him away and get out.

Suddenly, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her tightly into a warm embrace, and the man's low voice was laced with a chill: "You're scared like this, yet what are you still pretending to be calm for?"

Zhu Yuan's hands were still trembling, and the man wrapped his hands around hers, gripping them tightly. "Have you lost your voice?"

"I am not pretending to be calm." As soon as Zhu Yuan spoke, she gave herself away; her voice was trembling uncontrollably.

Sheng Yu's breathing grew heavier; he did not expose her, only pulling her tighter into his arms.

Situ sat in the passenger seat with a straight face, then opened the door and got out.

Once Zhu Yuan's body stopped trembling, Sheng Yu carried her out of the car, and Enzo opened the rear door.

Zhu Yuan was placed on the seat by the man.

She looked up, meeting the man's bottomless black eyes, and remembering their unpleasant parting in the suburbs earlier, she bit her lower lip and stubbornly looked away, refusing to look at him.

Sheng Yu frowned, his hand, which had been about to pinch Zhu Yuan's chin, paused and instead moved to rub the top of her head, "Wait for me."

However, Zhu Yuan still ignored him.

Sheng Yu watched her face gradually regain its color, yet she did not even glance at him, and a sense of stifling dullness permeated his heart.

The car door closed.

Sheng Yu turned his head to look at Dong Shu, who was trotting over with an anxious expression.

"Yu Ge, is Zhu Yuan alright?" Dong Shu asked hurriedly.

Sheng Yu gave a hum, his gaze deep as he looked at her, "Why are you here?"

"I went to look for Zhu Yuan and only then found out she had gone to the outskirts of the capital. I heard about what happened last night; if I could hear about it, how could it be kept from Sheng? I was worried something might happen to her, so I followed. Fortunately, I brought a few extra people, but it's a good thing you were here too, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened today."

Dong Shu looked at him with a frank expression and said, "Yu Ge, I told you I would help you. Zhu Yuan is my friend, and I am worried about her too."
