Chapter 164
But now wasn\'t the time for questions. Jing Yi gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the gas, and the engine roared as the sports car instantly accelerated forward.
"Boss, what should we do?"
Behind them, the thugs arranged by Wang Boqi watched the departing vehicle in panic.
Another thug viciously smacked him, "What else can we do?! Find a car and chase them! Otherwise, we\'re all dead meat!"
The tires screeched against the ground. Shen Huaichu\'s brow furrowed in pain as he gripped the door handle tightly, his arm muscles tensing. The pain came in waves, making it difficult for him to concentrate.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Huaichu tried to stay calm, "Turn left!"
Jing Yi turned the wheel, maneuvering skillfully through traffic, expertly controlling the vehicle to avoid obstacles.
The pursuing cars quickly caught up, trying to force Jing Yi to stop, but she continued adjusting her speed and direction, weaving through the narrow spaces.
"Turn right at the intersection!"
Jing Yi noticed something off in Shen Huaichu\'s voice and quickly glanced at him, concern flashing in her eyes. "Are you okay?" Shen Huaichu looked no better than her, his face pale and cold sweat forming on his forehead.
She hadn\'t known he would react so strongly to being in a car, but they couldn\'t stop now, or it might be the end for both of them.
Shen Huaichu gritted his teeth, "I\'m fine. How\'s your wound?"
Jing Yi shook her head. The moment she grabbed the steering wheel, her heart had started racing, her blood burning with adrenaline, leaving no room to feel the pain from her injuries.
The vehicle suddenly entered a crowded downtown street, with cars packed together. A large truck appeared abruptly on the left side of their black car.
Shen Huaichu\'s eyes showed clear panic as memories of his parents\' car accident began flashing through his mind.
The shattered glass, twisted metal, the screeching of tires against pavement, and the sound of impact with the truck...
These images suffocated him, pulling him into a dark spiral he couldn\'t escape, his body trembling involuntarily.
Jing Yi calmly considered her next move. They absolutely couldn\'t stop - those people behind them were as crazy as Wang Boqi, pursuing them recklessly!
She bit her lip, her gaze shifting to the truck ahead, determination gleaming in her eyes.
"Shen Huaichu, do you trust me?" she asked.
Her voice pulled him from his shattered memories, his rapid breathing steadying slightly. He looked at her profile and suddenly smiled.
Unlike his usual icy expression that Jing Yi was accustomed to seeing, his eyes now held a gentle warmth, as if expressing his inner feelings.
"I trust you."
Those two simple words made Jing Yi\'s lips curve upward, her eyes bright with joy.
She floored the gas pedal, charging straight toward the truck without hesitation!
The pursuing thugs watched in disbelief, "Are they crazy?! Do they have a death wish?!"
The truck\'s massive tires rumbled loudly, its imposing presence bearing down on them. Jing Yi felt the powerful air current hitting them head-on. As the truck grew closer, her nerves stretched to their limit.
She aimed for the gap under the truck, planning to slip through at the last possible moment. Time seemed to slow to a crawl, each second feeling like an eternity.
The black car almost touched the truck\'s undercarriage as Jing Yi sharply turned the wheel. The car body swayed violently, metal scraping against metal with a piercing screech as sparks flew.
The car skillfully passed under the truck, escaping the life-or-death situation.
Jing Yi let out a relieved breath, quickly turning to escape the thugs\' line of sight. "Mr. Shen, I told you my driving was steady!" she said with a triumphant smile.
Shen Huaichu had kept his eyes fixed on her the entire time, until they completely cleared the truck.
His lips curved up involuntarily, his grip on the handle loosening slightly.
As the car slowed down, the pain in her body demanded Jing Yi\'s attention again.
Shen Huaichu noticed her furrowed brow and said worriedly, "I\'ll take you to the hospital first."
The pursuing vehicles hadn\'t reappeared, meaning they were safe now. Jing Yi didn\'t insist on driving anymore and switched seats with Shen Huaichu, clutching her wound.
Blood seeped through her fingers as she leaned back in her seat, saying weakly, "Need to tell my brother first, just him alone."
She worried Wang Boqi might have more tricks up his sleeve and wanted to warn Jing Zeyou to be careful.
Meanwhile, Jing Zeyou received photos from Wang Boqi showing the bracelet he had given to Jing Yi.
Aliali: 6748beacc4f3f33ac47d814cHis heart clenched instantly, his body tensing. "Wang Boqi, what exactly do you want?!" Worried sick, Jing Zeyou immediately called, assuming Wang Boqi had captured Jing Yi.
The voice on the other end seemed relaxed, "Mr. Jing, I don\'t want anything special." The sinister voice continued, "I just want both you and Jing Yi dead."
Jing Zeyou struggled to maintain his composure, his voice unable to hide his anger: "I\'ll agree to any demands as long as you don\'t harm Jing Yi." His fists were clenched so tight his nails dug into his palms.
Laughter erupted from the other end of the line, "Shouldn\'t you be feeling proud, Jing Zeyou? You completely defeated Huarui Group, even played me for a fool, so why are you begging me now? Aren\'t you the mighty President of Hengjing?"
Jing Zeyou tried to suppress his rage, asking coldly, "Just tell me straight - do you want the data or your father\'s release?" He was willing to pay any price to ensure Jing Yi\'s safety.
Wang Boqi sneered on the other end - none of these things interested him anymore. "Sorry, Mr. Jing, I don\'t want any of that."
He no longer cared about Hengjing or saving his father; he just wanted Jing Zeyou to disappear from this world completely!
The unease in Jing Zeyou\'s heart grew stronger - Wang Boqi was truly insane!
Wang Boqi coldly watched Jing Zeyou from a distance, his eyes icy. His men were still chasing Jing Yi, but whether they caught her or not, he had a chance to deal with Jing Zeyou as long as he remained unaware of her escape.
Thinking of his thugs who hadn\'t reported back yet, Wang Boqi\'s expression darkened - he needed to eliminate Jing Zeyou before he learned that Jing Yi had escaped!
