"Shut up!" Xu Pei roared. "It’s not for his money!"
"Ha..." Lu Hao scoffed with a cold laugh, "If it’s not for money, could it possibly be for love? Please, you don’t need to act so noble in front of . After all, aren’t we the sa kind of people?"
Xu Pei suddenly slamd on the brakes, "Give the stuff and get lost!"
"Psh, playing the saint when you’re no better than a whore!" Lu Hao looked at her dismissively and took out a kraft paper bag from his pocket and threw it at her, "Here, the thing you wanted!"
Pushing open the car door, he lazily got out of the car, slamming the door forcefully. He strolled past the front of the car, and didn’t forget to turn back and flip off Xu Pei, who was in the driver’s seat.
He was a bastard, he admitted it. In his eyes, soone like Xu Pei was even lower than him.
Xu Pei looked at Lu Hao in front of the car, burning with rage.
"You’re the whore!"
Gripping the steering wheel tightly, she floored the accelerator.
The white Maserati surged forward forcefully. When Lu Hao heard the engine roar behind him, he turned in surprise, but by then the car was already upon him, and in his panic to escape, it was too late.
Bang!
The car hit him hard, and his body was flung into the air. In the final mont of his life, he saw Xu Pei’s face behind the car window, that once beautiful face now terribly twisted and fearso.
Watching Lu Hao being flung in the air, Xu Pei snapped back to reality and slamd on the brakes frantically.
The headlights pierced through the misty rain, casting light on the distant figure of Lu Hao as he lay on the ground. Facing her direction, his eyes were wide open, and the blood oozing from his mouth and nose mixed with the rainwater, staining the puddles on the ground a bloody red.
Xu Pei’s face turned pale in an instant.
Reaching for her phone, she instinctively dialed three numbers—120—but as her finger hovered over the call button, she suddenly ca to her senses and hurriedly threw the car into reverse.
Bang!
The Maserati crashed into the roadside barrier with a dull thud. Xu Pei was startled and quickly floored the accelerator to turn the car around, rushing away from the scene.
It poured relentlessly on Lu Hao, soaking his spread-out coat. The check inside, worth millions, was also being ruined by the rain, its ink slowly spreading out.

On the side of the Third Ring Road.
"Okay, I got it!"
After hanging up the call from the police station, Leng Zimo sat in the driver’s seat, his mood worse than the weather outside.
He had made every call he could, used all the available resources, and yet, up to now, there had been no leads.
Where in the world was that girl?
In Beijing, she knew just a handful of people. She hadn’t turned to any of them, and she even left without her bag and phone, with not a single penny on her—in this heavy rain...
The thought of the child getting drenched sowhere, or facing so danger, was driving Leng Zimo nearly mad.
Seeing the sign for the underground passage not far ahead, he pushed the car door open with force and dashed into the rain, sprinting into the underground passage.
"Xiao Qian!"
A rat scavenging for trash scurried back into its hole at the sound of his footsteps.
Glancing at the empty underground passage, Leng Zimo turned and hurried back to the car to continue forward.
Spotting a 24-hour McDonald’s by the road, he stopped again, rushing over.
Now, he had only one thought.
Find her. He’d search the entire Capital if he had to, but he would find her!
