As Du Guanglong said, the car was brand new and had a Jiangzhou license plate.
The driver was a young man in his early twenties, tall and strong, with a short haircut, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Seeing Lu Yi and Ruan Jiaojiao waiting in the courtyard, he stopped the car and immediately got out, bowing respectfully, "Third Brother!"
"Let's go, don't waste any more time!"
Lu Yi picked up Ruan Jiaojiao's bulging bag, intending to put it in the trunk, but then thought that there might be food and drinks in the bag.
Ruan Jiaojiao's mouth is never still.
If you don't let her eat, she'll talk the whole way.
"Third Brother, aren't we putting it in the trunk?"
The driver stood at the back of the car, making only a symbolic gesture.
Lu Yi was preoccupied and didn't pay much attention to the details.
He opened the car door, let Ruan Jiaojiao get in first, and then threw his backpack inside.
"You sit in the passenger seat, I'm going to get sleepy and want to lie down and sleep!"
Ruan Jiaojiao blinked her watery eyes.
Her quirky and mischievous nature left Lu Yi helpless.
The driver lingered outside for some reason, and the two of them only returned to the car after they were seated.
"I'm sorry, I already told my older brother so he wouldn't worry."
Lu Yi glanced at him sideways.
With broad, rounded shoulders, a deep chest, and scars from knife wounds on the back of his hands, he was clearly a seasoned martial artist.
It seems that Du Guanglong has recruited another batch of newcomers with decent kung fu skills.
As soon as the car drove out of the yard, Ruan Jiaojiao stretched and yawned.
She patted her mouth with her hand, "So sleepy, I'm going to take a nap!"
Lu Yi had gotten used to her chaotic schedule.
He casually agreed, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
He didn't know how much time had passed when the car suddenly jolted violently awake from its slumber.
He turned his head and saw that Ruan Jiaojiao was still fast asleep.
I composed myself a little and glanced at the time on my watch.
"Are we almost there?"
The driver kept his eyes on the road and nodded. "Yes, Third Brother, do you need to stop at a service area to rest?"
"No need, keep driving!"
Lu Yi glanced at the road sign and suddenly realized that this was not the road to Fengcheng.
Alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.
Just as I was about to question the driver about whether we had taken the wrong route, the car suddenly turned, weaving through the traffic and entering the ramp ahead.
"ah!"
Ruan Jiaojiao, who was in the back seat, was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown off her seat.
She clutched her forehead and cried out in pain. When she tried to get up, she found that her hands and feet were numb and she couldn't muster any strength at all.
“Lu Yi…”
Ruan Jiaojiao reached out her arm to Lu Yi and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Lu Yi noticed it before she did.
He secretly took her fingers and drew a few strokes on her palm with his fingertips.
Ruan Jiaojiao realized that she and Lu Yi were in a "thief's car," and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
He quickly peeked at the driver through the gap in the seat.
On the ramp outside the car, several cars followed like swimming fish, surrounding the car tightly in the middle.
Seeing that Lu Yi and Ruan Jiaojiao had fallen for the trap, the driver sneered and stopped pretending.
Frustrated, he ripped open his collar and sneered, "Third Brother? Miss Jiaojiao? Hahaha, you two who helped the Huo family win this round, you never thought you'd end up like this, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao was enraged and roared.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
The driver chuckled a few times.
His smile vanished abruptly.
He said sternly, "I already called him Third Brother just now, so who do you think I am? Of course, I was sent by Huo Jingxi to silence me!"
"I might as well let you die knowing the truth, and when you get to the underworld, make sure you don't seek revenge on the wrong person..."
"You two know too many secrets. How could the Huo family tolerate someone like you!"
He was talking, but his control of the steering wheel was incredibly smooth.
The vehicles on the side acted as guards, preventing other vehicles from getting close.
The driver glanced around and became even more brazen.
"Since I'm so honest, you have nothing to regret!"
"How about this, I'll ask you questions and you answer them. If you can satisfy me, I'll make sure you suffer less when we get there!"
Lu Yi pursed his lips and gave a disdainful snort.
What do you want to know?
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao pounded on the back of the seat and roared in anger.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Even if Huo Jingxi were to kill himself, he wouldn't lay a hand on you. Don't believe him!"
Lu Yi squeezed her hand, then quickly let go.
It implies that she is calm.
"That's hard to say, after all, I do know a lot of secrets about the Huo family and Huo Jingxi."
"Take those investors who came to my door seeking cooperation a few days ago, for example. Every single contract they signed with the Huo family is in my mind!"
"Oh, by the way, I'm sure many people are curious about what Huo Jingxi went through during those years in exile. What a coincidence, he only mentioned it to me!"
Lu Yi remained expressionless, tilting his head slightly and smiling "politely".
With the toll booth just a short distance away, Lu Yi tried to find an opportunity to call for help, but to his surprise, a car in front of him sped out of the toll booth.
The car followed closely behind, going out almost without any hindrance.
He tried feeling his pockets, but they were empty.
It seems that his phone and Ruan Jiaojiao's backpack had been taken away while they were asleep.
If you have nowhere to turn for help, then you can only rely on yourself!
Ruan Jiaojiao's palms began to sweat, and she dared not loosen her grip on Lu Yi's fingers.
She has spent so much time in a peaceful environment that she is no longer as sensitive to crises as she used to be.
In the past, she could smell this person as soon as they got close.
"Lu Yi can't be harmed. If something happens to him, Huo Jingxi will never forgive me!"
She silently warned herself.
"Alright! Then I won't stand on ceremony... Just who exactly is Huo Jingxi?"
The driver, convinced that the two were nothing more than fish on a chopping board in this mobile "prison," laughed without restraint.
"Huo Jingxi is the third young master of the Huo family!"
Lu Yi answered seriously.
"Are you fucking pretending to be stupid?!"
The driver, in a fit of rage, floored the accelerator, leaving the other vehicles far behind.
“I’m not stupid. Huo Jingxi’s identity is public knowledge and verifiable. If he weren’t the third young master of the Huo family, why would I become sworn brothers with him?”
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow, his face full of provocation!
very good!
Those random medicines aren't very effective!
Lu Yi quietly moved his feet, feeling his strength gradually returning, and shook off Ruan Jiaojiao's hand.
He turned his head and grinned at Ruan Jiaojiao.
"Look, this girl was given to me by him. Unfortunately, I'm not comfortable using her. Since you call me Third Brother, then Third Brother will give her to you!"
Ruan Jiaojiao had never seen Lu Yi look so "lewd" and annoying, and her scalp tingled.
He gritted his teeth in hatred, clenched his fists, and sat up abruptly from the footrest!
"Lu Yi—you're asking for death!"
Before the words had even faded, she unleashed a powerful punch...
