Thump---
A loud bang.
Jian Yu watched helplessly as the car in front of her was suddenly accelerated and hit by the car behind it as it turned the corner. The car flipped several times before sliding to a spot not far in front of her.
Jian Yu's heart clenched. Did the car behind deliberately crash into the car in front?
The driver of the car in front was a woman. Her messy hair was covered in blood, and her upper body was slumped over the steering wheel, twitching intermittently.
A person got out of the car behind.
It wasn't the driver who caused the accident, but his companion.
The man walked slowly forward, but the driver who caused the accident started to turn around.
The man, wearing black leather gloves, grabbed the woman's hair, revealing her blood-stained face. He frowned, ripped off her mask and the sunglasses frames that were embedded in her flesh, and said, "Damn it!"
The woman's face was fractured and deformed from hitting the steering wheel with gravity, and it no longer matches the face in the photo.
The man glanced at the photo, then at the disfigured woman, and after a few glances back and forth, he shoved the woman's head away.
Jian Yu immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Sure enough, after the man let go, he started walking in circles around the car, finally fixing his gaze on the leaking gasoline.
The man curled the corners of his mouth and suddenly walked toward the only car on the side of the road, which was Jian Yu's car.
Jian Yu held her breath nervously, afraid that the person would see her behind the tree.
The man walked around their car, peered inside with his phone to make sure no one was there, and then went back inside.
As he walked, he pulled a tissue from his pocket, stood in front of the car, lit it with a lighter, bent down and threw it onto the gasoline, then turned and ran away.
The tissues caught fire as soon as they came into contact with gasoline.
Within seconds, the entire car was engulfed in flames.
The woman's painful screams came, and Jian Yu nervously scratched the bark off the tree.
The vehicle involved in the accident was parked not far away, and the people inside kept their eyes fixed on the fire until the woman's voice grew fainter and fainter.
They then drove away.
At this moment, Lone Wolf ran out of the bathroom, helped Jian Yu up, shoved her into the car, and sped away from the scene.
Jian Yu's mind was filled with images of women perishing in the flames. He swallowed hard before looking at Lone Wolf and asking, "Why does that car look so familiar?"
Lone Wolf nodded. "It's the car I just returned. A woman came to rent it. She looked a bit like you, and because she had a cold, she was wearing a hat and mask, which made her look even more like you from a distance. I returned the car early and had already paid the rental fee, but they wouldn't refund it. That woman must be a regular customer there. She left a sum of cash and drove off. The rental shop seemed to take it for granted."
Jian Yu's throat felt like it had been grabbed by a giant hand, and he could barely speak. "You, you mean... those... people mistook her for me?"
“The hotel had taken photos of that car before. The woman rented the car but didn’t register it. When those people found the car, they must have mistaken her for you.”
Jian Yu took out his phone, ready to trace the signals of those two people.
"They have jammers installed in their vehicles and use special communication methods when carrying out missions."
Jian Yu nodded and changed the search to license plate information.
The car is registered under the name of the Shen family conglomerate.
It really was Shen Qianyuan.
When Huo Qizhen contacted Jian Yu, he learned that something had happened to them.
He immediately began contacting people around Shen Ding, saying, "Speed up the process. We must involve Shen Qianyuan as well. We must make Shen Ding believe that what happened back then was done by Shen Qianyuan and his mother in cahoots."
Even if Shen Ding is angry, he won't touch Shen Qianyuan if it's just Mrs. Shen.
If Shen Qianyuan also interfered and caused the death of his own brother, Shen Ding would not remain indifferent.
Shen Qianyuan has held real power in the company for some time now, so naturally he won't sit idly by and wait for his doom.
There will definitely be a showdown between the two.
A father and son fighting—I can't help but look forward to it.
After a long while, Jian Yu felt her emotions calm down a bit. She looked down at her phone map and realized that they had not followed the original route.
Where are we going?
"Let me disguise you first."
Speaking of disguise, Jian Yu has no hope at all. "Even if I disguise myself, I'll still be wearing a hat and a mask. The chances of being recognized will be just as high as they are now."
Unless you wear a facekini, but then people will probably look at you like a monkey.
Before you even get into the store, you might be mistaken for a robber.
Jian Yu couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so he covered his face with his hat and lay down on the back seat to pretend to sleep.
Lone Wolf led Jian Yu through several more turns before finally arriving at a farmhouse.
The car had just come to a stop when the gate opened from the inside.
An old lady came out.
Seeing the lone wolf's joyful expression.
The lone wolf handed her a package.
She opened it, counted the thickness, and was very satisfied. She nodded and said, "Follow me."
Lone Wolf gestured for Jian Yu to follow.
As soon as Jian Yu entered, the old lady pressed him down into a chair.
The old woman was holding a bowl of black, sticky liquid. "Take off all your clothes."
"What?"
Jian Yu didn't understand what to do. How could she not think of taking off her clothes?
"This is a special ointment I made. When you apply it, your skin will turn dark. It will make you feel safer."
Change skin tone?
Jian Yu was puzzled. How dark could it be?
Does changing your skin tone really work?
Since Lone Wolf brought her here specifically, let's give it a try!
Jian Yu nodded. "Okay."
The old lady took a small brush and painted Jian Yu from head to toe.
"It will be ready in two hours."
Jian Yu looked down at his arms and legs, which were black and looked like bamboo charcoal.
You're not just going to change her color, are you?
Jian Yu gently rubbed the back of her hands, then speechlessly withdrew her fingers. Both hands were black, so it was impossible to tell whether the color would come off or not.
After the clock had gone around twice, Jian Yu ran to the mirror right on time to see how her face looked.
"This...this..."
In the mirror, apart from her eyeballs, her entire face, including her lips, was black.
He transformed into a veritable African native.
The old lady was very satisfied. "Not bad, all one color."
I turned on the tap and rinsed it with water, but the water was still clear.
It really won't fade?
Jian Yu was extremely surprised, "How did you do that?"
“When I used to go out on missions, I would darken my skin to blend in with the locals in order to avoid danger. Later, I improved the technique so that one application could last for several days. I packed a bottle for you; just touch it up when it starts to fade.”
When Jian Yu came out carrying the medicine bottle, she immediately saw a large black man sitting in the living room.
Jian Yu was a little curious and stared at his skin carefully, wanting to see how it differed from his own fake skin.
As she looked at him, she noticed that the way he was looking at her was a little strange.
"Don't you recognize me?"
A familiar voice.
"Are you a lone wolf?"
Lone Wolf paused as he poured water. "It's me."
Jian Yu was deeply shocked. She never expected that changing her skin would make her look so different.
She genuinely didn't recognize Lone Wolf.
Jian Yu ran over, looking at Lone Wolf with anticipation, "Did you not recognize me when you saw me just now?"
"have."
"real?"
Jian Yu touched her face. Perhaps she had only focused on her facial features and hadn't considered the overall picture from a distance, which was why she hadn't realized that she gave off a completely different vibe, just like Lone Wolf.
