Previous life, Jiang Ning's whole family were cannon fodder in a novel about the protagonists' rise to fame and success, living as a contrasting background to them. Under the crushing press...
The chase took them from bustling streets to deserted mountain roads.
The driver was just an ordinary taxi driver, but he seemed to have used all his strength to keep the vehicle moving forward quickly and steadily.
When he realized there was no path once he reached the top of the mountain, he was on the verge of collapse.
"Let me out of the car," Jiang Ning suddenly said.
If she had remained in the car at that moment, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The car that was chasing them was armed and relentlessly pursuing them, intending to kill them.
Lin Chen disagreed; how could she risk getting off the bus?
Jiang Ning felt she couldn't persuade him, so she only asked the driver to slow down a little. She opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
Before they could react, she had already entered the space, and then quickly came out of the space and rolled to the side of the road.
In the car, Lin Chen told the driver to stop immediately, as he needed to find Jiang Ning. However, the driver was so frightened that he gripped the steering wheel tightly and his heels seemed to be welded to the accelerator, driving forward at high speed.
Lin Chen was so anxious that he reached for the steering wheel, but Wu Hao stopped him.
"Mr. Jiang will be fine after jumping down, don't be so nervous."
After saying that, he turned to the driver and said:
"Sir, if you keep driving, there will be no road left. Let's stop the car."
The driver could no longer hear the gunshots behind him, so he slowly brought the car to a stop.
Lin Chen told him to turn the car back, but his heels seemed frozen and he wouldn't move an inch.
There was no other way, so Lin Chen had to take him out of the driver's seat and drive himself. Once he got in the seat, he realized that the seat was wet and cool, probably because the driver had wet his pants earlier.
He would rather stay on the pitch-black mountaintop than experience that terrifying moment again.
At this moment, Jiang Ning jumped out of the car, picked out a white cloak from her spatial storage, put it on, and stood in the middle of the road.
There were no streetlights on the winding mountain road, only a little light from the crescent moon in the sky.
The car that was chasing behind suddenly shone its headlights on a woman with disheveled hair wearing a white cloak, which startled them.
But they couldn't brake in time, and there was a sheer cliff next to them.
The car sped straight towards the woman's body.
The car passed the woman and stopped about ten meters ahead.
Several men dressed in black got out of the car, turned on their flashlights, and tried to see if the woman they had just hit had been killed.
To their surprise, when the flashlight beam shone on them, there was nothing on the ground, but a white figure with long hair hanging down to its chest, slowly approaching them.
"A ghost!"
The men were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost fell to the ground. They scrambled to their car and started the engine.
There was another man in black who didn't even have time to get into the car before it drove off.
However, they hadn't gone far when the car went out of control and flew off the cliff.
A dozen seconds later, the car made a sound of colliding with the mountain, followed by a loud bang. The car's fuel tank exploded, and the fire engulfed the entire vehicle.
The man in black, who was lying by the roadside, fainted on the spot as the white-clad ghost drew closer.
When he woke up, he found himself tied up and being watched by Jiang Ning and others.
Seeing that he was awake, Jiang Ning patted his face and asked coldly:
"Tell me, who sent you?"
The man in black, recalling the souls lost at the foot of the cliff, felt somewhat fortunate to be alive and quickly said:
"It was... sent by the King of Hell. We only wanted Wu Hao's life, but we didn't expect you to come along, so we had no choice but to hunt you down as well."
"Where is the King of Hell now?"
Jiang Ning felt it was time to meet the King of Hell.
The man in black gestured towards the mountaintop, "A villa on the mountaintop. He spent two years building a villa here. The security level is extremely high. Unless he wants to come out and meet people, it's very difficult for others to see him."
His car is fully bulletproof.
The man in black seemed rather envious when talking about his boss.
In this hillside villa, he could have as much fine wine and women as he wanted, as long as he desired.
However, he was also very violent. It is said that once, he found a woman to satisfy his needs. When the woman said she would undress him, he suddenly lost his temper and gouged out the eyes of the woman who had taken off his shirt, and then threw her off a cliff.
It is said that countless souls have perished beneath this cliff, and whoever he desires to die will never see the sun rise the next day.
The police are helpless in these kinds of missing person cases because no one would risk going down a cliff to look for a body.
After listening to him, Jiang Ning told Lin Chen to drive towards the mountaintop.
"Once you reach the top of the mountain, just say you have work to give back to."
She patted the man in black's face and threatened him with the same threat of being thrown off the cliff.
"...I...I'll give it a try. He and his men are very vigilant. After you open the door, can you just let me go like a fart?"
The man in black begged for mercy.
Jiang Ning snorted coldly, "We'll talk about it when we can get in."
Soon, the car passed through an iron gate and stopped in front of a luxury villa.
At this moment, Wu Hao said, "The King of Hell is after me, let me go by myself."
The phone suddenly rang; it was Uncle Xiang calling Li Hua.
After hanging up, Li Hua told Jiang Ning that there was no need to take the risk, as Uncle Xiang had already arranged for the two sides to meet.
Jiang Ning: "Then let's choose today, since we're already here."
While fleeing for his life, Li Hua called Uncle Xiang for help.
At this moment, the people sent by Uncle Xiang have also arrived.
They were all wearing bulletproof vests, carrying live ammunition, and equipped with better gear than special forces.
Under their protection, Jiang Ning and the others got out of the car, pushed aside the useless men in black, and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened, revealing a brightly lit world inside.
The crystal chandelier in the hall shone brightly, its light falling on the King of Hell, who sat in a grand chair.
"Wu Hao, you're quite capable; you really brought them to me."
The King of Hell sat there imposingly, his voice as rough and gloomy as ever.
Lin Tao was stunned; this person was none other than Li Jianfeng.
Although his appearance has changed a lot due to age, and he looks much older, his facial features are still quite distinctive, making him easy to recognize.
Jiang Ning wasn't that frightened; she was already mentally prepared for it.
However, she felt somewhat uncomfortable looking at Wu Hao, who seemed a little flustered.
Originally, when he went to see his parents, she still had some hope that he would stop himself from doing something bad to her!
It seems that being wary of him was indeed necessary.
"Li Jianfeng, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Jiang Ning did not expose herself; she deliberately walked into this trap.
Li Jianfeng laughed heartily, "You two have finally met your match!"
"What's the use of that old bastard Xiang Qiang sending so many people to protect you? If I trap you here, you'll just have to watch the company you built collapse!"
