Why is it Master Jin?

Isn't he in cahoots with Wu Zhiguo?

How did they suddenly become the ones who came to rescue us?

My brain instantly went blank, a complete mess, countless thoughts colliding wildly in my mind, but I couldn't make sense of them at all.

In that brief moment of my stunned silence, Jin Ye had already turned and sprinted into the darkness, his figure rapidly blurring in the night and soon disappearing from our sight.

"Don't let him get away!"

Luo Tianhe shouted and took the lead in chasing after them.

But Jinye seemed extremely familiar with the terrain in this area, and after several twists and turns, we lost him.

"Oh shit!"

Luo Tianhe stomped his foot angrily: "What on earth is that old fox up to?"

I was panting heavily: "Brother Luo, don't panic. Since Master Jin helped us, he must have his reasons. Now that he's run away, we need to think about what to do next."

Luo Tianhe frowned and paced back and forth.

"He said the higher-ups have issued an arrest warrant and will shoot us on sight. This is no small matter. He also said someone doesn't want us to die. Who is this person? And what is their relationship with that old bastard surnamed Jin? Isn't he one of Wu Zhiguo's men? Does he have other masters? A traitor who serves three masters?"

I pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something: "Brother Luo, didn't Boss Jin always want us to go to Sanjiapo? Could it be that all of this is related to Sanjiapo?"

Luo Tianhe's eyes lit up: "You mean there's some secret hidden in Sanjiapo, and that old bastard wants to use us to uncover it, which is why he saved us at the crucial moment?"

"Very likely."

I nodded: "Perhaps, just as I guessed, he took my Gu worms only to threaten us and make us obey."

"Your Gu worms were stolen?" Luo Tianhe was shocked again.

I hummed in agreement.

I was in too much of a rush before, and I didn't have time to tell him many details; I only gave him a general overview.

After listening to what I said, Luo Tianhe lit a cigarette in frustration and asked me what to do now.

I suggested we leave first. Although we ran quite far with Master Jin when we were chasing him, who knows if those people will come after us?

Perhaps it was related to that inexplicable "dream" I had before, because Luo Tianhe didn't dare to steal the white car.

So he stole a black car.

...

Sanjiapo sounds rather rustic, but Wu Zhiguo has transformed it into "Little Liede Village".

Because he dared not take the main roads, Luo Tianhe only traveled along village paths.

"What do you plan to do after you go in? Just ask?"

Luo Tianhe turned on his hazard lights, signaling the oncoming car to turn off its high beams.

I said I would definitely ask directly; we don't have much time.

"Aren't you afraid of being chased and attacked like last time when you went to Zeng's hometown?"

After Luo Tianhe finished speaking, he couldn't help but flash his headlights twice more, cursing angrily, "Damn it, are people all so rude these days? Did they buy their driver's licenses? Don't they know to switch to low beams when approaching cars?"

I thought it might be a female driver.

"Hold!"

Luo Tianhe simply turned on his high beams and went head-to-head with the other party, seeing who would lose it first.

The consequence of this impulsive behavior was that he drove almost entirely by feel, covering a distance of just over 300 meters.

As for the road, it was completely invisible.

A loud "bang!"

The car seemed to have hit something hard, and instantly went out of control, shaking violently.

Luo Tianhe's expression changed drastically. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and instinctively slammed on the brakes.

The immense inertia propelled him and his body forward uncontrollably.

I slammed hard into the windshield, a sharp pain shot through my forehead, and I saw stars.

Luo Tianhe was also knocked to one side, his shoulder slamming heavily against the car door.

"It looks like you bumped into someone."

Luo Tianhe slowly raised his head, a hint of unease on his face.

At that moment, the blinding high beams of the car on the other side suddenly went out, and darkness surged in like a tide.

Only the headlights of our car swayed forlornly on this dark country road.

The dim yellow light appeared particularly weak in the darkness, barely illuminating a small area ahead.

Strange, where's the car on the other side?

Where did it go?

I stared wide-eyed ahead.

How could a car suddenly disappear in the middle of nowhere?

But at that moment, he didn't care whether the car on the other side had entered the intersection or not; his immediate priority was to get out of the car and check if he had hit anyone.

I reached out to pull the car door handle.

Just as I was about to get out of the car, Luo Tianhe grabbed me: "Wait, have you seen anyone?"

I leaned forward slightly and carefully checked the situation in front of the car through the windshield.

The area in front of the car was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

"I didn't see anyone in front of the car."

"Do you think it could be one of those things?" Luo Tianhe's voice trembled.

My heart skipped a beat.

Yes, where are they?

Although my vision was obstructed by the high beams of oncoming cars, and I wasn't driving very fast, I was still going around 50 or 60 miles per hour.

With that kind of impact force, if it hit a person, that person would definitely be thrown away.

But at this moment, there wasn't a single person in front of the car, which was very unusual.

I comforted Luo Tianhe: "Don't overthink it. Maybe that person got knocked into the roadside bushes, or maybe it's a stray cat. Let's go down and take a look."

The cool night breeze whistled into the car, making me shiver.

We cautiously approached the front of the car and, by the dim headlights, saw an old man leaning over the front of the vehicle.
