"who are they?"
Chuanliu grabbed Qianchuan's sleeve and asked nervously.
Qian Chuan's brows furrowed, and he gripped the steering wheel tightly. His mind raced, trying to figure out who had sent these menacing masked men.
Could it be someone from Jiulong?
However, in the blink of an eye, the masked men had surrounded the vehicle, and more than a dozen wooden sticks were smashed against the car body at the same time, and the car windows were on the verge of collapse under the heavy impact.
The situation was critical, leaving him no time for further speculation.
Qian Chuan knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die. He glanced at Chuan Liu beside him and instructed, "Hold on tight."
After saying that, Qian Chuan slammed on the gas pedal, and the vehicle roared as it tried to break through the masked men's encirclement.
However, the masked men were prepared; they quickly adjusted their formation and surrounded the vehicle tightly.
Wooden sticks rained down, shattering the car windows with every impact.
"ah!"
The girl screamed in terror, clutching the knife Susan had given her for self-defense tightly in her hand, and wildly waving it in front of her with the other hand.
Immediately afterwards, several more shouts of "Ah! Ah!" were heard.
However, this time it didn't come from Chuanliu's mouth, but from several masked men.
Several people were not paying attention when they were smashing the car and were slashed in vital areas by the girl who was swinging her knife.
They clutched their groins, writhing in pain, completely oblivious to the attack they had just suffered, the sticks in their hands falling to the ground.
This gave Qian Chuan a chance to escape.
He gripped the steering wheel, slammed on the gas, and the vehicle surged forward, smashing through a group of masked men who had surrounded him.
Finally, after a violent collision, the car broke through the masked men's encirclement.
There was a loud "bang".
The car's tire was punctured by a nail, and a loud bang was heard, making the ears of those around it ring.
The car shook violently at the same time, and the two people inside, who were not wearing seat belts, would have been thrown out by now.
The car spun forward, knocking away the masked man who charged at it again.
Qian Chuan tried his best to stabilize the swaying car body, took the opportunity to accelerate, and sped away, leaving behind a pile of dust and broken glass.
Chuanliu turned to look at the masked men still chasing after them and breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Qian Liu, who are they?"
Qian Chuan's expression softened slightly. Looking at the helpless girl, he couldn't help but tease her, "Them? They're all here to kill you."
Chuanliu's eyes welled up with tears again, his nose was red, and he looked like he had suffered a great injustice.
Qian Chuan quickly surrendered, "Never mind, forget I said anything. I don't know who they are either."
Chuanliu wouldn't listen to him, and said in a tearful voice, "Then, will I always be in danger like this? What did I do wrong?"
Qian Chuan chuckled, "It's uncertain what you did wrong, but only you know what you did."
Tears streamed down the girl's face uncontrollably. Qian Chuan sighed helplessly, "Losing your memory is like turning into a completely different person... You'd better not be faking it, otherwise..."
As they talked, the two struggled to drive the car into the City of Cubes.
After all, it's their territory; at least once we enter the Block City, we'll be much safer.
Qian Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt the girl poke him, so he turned his head away.
Chuanliu was holding the wooden box that Susan had given her.
The wooden box was broken from the impact, revealing a playing card inside.
With curiosity and surprise in her eyes, Chuanliu proudly showed the playing cards to Qian Chuan and said happily, "Brother Qian, these are the identity cards that Sister Susan was talking about, right?"
As she spoke, she took out the playing card from the wooden box, revealing the "10 of Diamonds" that represented Chuanliu's identity in her hand.
Seeing the girl's unguarded state, Qianchuan really didn't know what to say.
He had even begun to believe that Chuanliu had truly lost his memory.
He asked again, tentatively, "Do you remember what you do for a living, and why you came to Paradise Island?"
The girl nodded. "I remember now, I'm a magician. Paradise Island? Wasn't I born on Paradise Island?"
Qian Chuan's brow twitched.
According to the doctor, it seems she has begun to gradually regain her memory.
So, Qian Chuan kindly reminded him, "I suspect the people who just killed us were Jiu Long's men. Before you lost your memory, you probably had evidence of his conspiracy. If someone wants to get rid of you before you regain your memory, then you need to be careful."
Chuanliu nodded as if he understood.
The two got out of the car and rushed to the nearest villa of Chuanliu as quickly as possible.
Unlike when Chuanliu left, the villa that originally belonged to "Cube 3" has now been reinforced with several more floors.
All traces of the previous battles with Lei Laojiu have been erased, replaced by an even more solid fortress.
If it weren't for the fact that you could still vaguely see the lushly maintained flowers in the yard, this place would look like a military-style management base.
As Qian Chuan and Chuan Liu approached, two men dressed in black Chinese-style martial arts uniforms, who were guarding the villa entrance, blocked their way.
"This is the restricted area of Villa 'Square 10'. Unauthorized entry is prohibited. Please state your name."
One of them stretched out his hand and used his burly body to block their way.
"The 'Six of Diamonds' is a string of coins, and the owner of this place is the 'Ten of Diamonds' flowing stream."
Qian Chuan was unfamiliar with the game but still introduced himself.
The former looked at the bewildered girl with a surprised expression, then nodded. "Wait a moment, I'll go report."
Chuanliu looked at the man who walked into the yard, pointed to the sturdy villa, and asked, "Is this my home?"
Qian Chuan shrugged. "I guess so."
As they were talking, two familiar figures emerged from the villa.
Upon seeing the flow of people, Wu Fangming immediately jogged a few steps; Xiong Ajiao behind him quickly followed.
"Hey sis! Why are you only getting back now?"
He happily embraced the bewildered girl, looking her up and down.
"hiss."
His large movements aggravated the girl's wound. Chuanliu gasped, then gently broke free and hid behind Qianchuan.
Wu Fangming then noticed the unusual flow of water.
He turned to look at the string of coins, "What happened to my sister?"
As they walked into the villa and sat down, Qian Chuan recounted his experiences from living in the City of Hearts to leaving.
Upon hearing this, Wu Fangming was filled with anger. "So, Chuanliu doesn't remember anything now? It's all my fault for not being there for her in time."
"This is temporary; the doctor said she will gradually recover," Qian Chuan comforted Wu Fangming. Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Are the people outside yours, Brother Fangming? And did you lead the renovation of this house?"
Wu Fangming nodded. "I originally wanted to ask my sister about this when she got back. My brother Ajiao and I were also ambushed a while ago."
