3:20 AM...
A certain highway exit, fifty kiloters outside Capital City.
Xiaofan and Li San finally stopped the car on the signal device. Upon verification, the other party was indeed an ordinary cab driver from Capital City, with no special identity.
With the iron box in hand, Xiaofan was eager to open it. However, he had to be cautious.
He lifted the lid. Before his eyes was a cellphone. Yes, this phone belonged to Chen i'Er. Clearly, Li Kuo hadn't made a mistake; he had been tracking Chen i'Er's phone to get here. However, the other party had swapped it out long ago.
But what was their purpose in deliberately luring them here?
'Beep beep...'
Just as Xiaofan took out the phone, there turned out to be sothing else inside the box. As it beeped, the small red and green lights began to flash rapidly.
"Damn it..."
Without thinking, Xiaofan quickly hurled the box away.
"San, get down."
'Boom.'
The tal box emitted an explosion in mid-air. The scene was enveloped in flas, and the heatwave surged.
"Holy crap, what was that thing? So small yet so powerful." Li San dusted off the ash on him, glanced at the thick smoke in the air, and pursed his lips.
"This kind of stuff, Han is the expert; only he would know. But there's no ti to worry about that now." Xiaofan also felt a lingering fear.
Luring here with a cellphone, then trying to blow up with a bomb?
What a remarkable trick. Not only did it run Xiaofan in circles, but to this day, Xiaofan had no more clues.
'Ring ring ring...'
The phone rang, and this ti, it was the phone Xiaofan had just picked up.
"Hello."
"Oh, how unfortunate, you're still alive. But then, if you died that easily, we wouldn't be so troubled."
"You want my life? Co and get it."
"Hehehehe... our ga continues, to the second level... go find it."
"Hello, hello..."
The other party hung up again. Less than three hours left until dawn, damn it...
'Hmm hmm...'
This ti, Xiaofan's own cell phone rang shortly after.
"Xiaofan, Li Kuo has sent another new location, it's from that phone number earlier." Li San spoke urgently, holding Xiaofan's phone.
"Bastard, let's go..."
Li Kuo's speed was extrely fast. Even though it was already past 3 AM, he had been attentively tracking the developnts on this end. When he found out a new number had dialed into Chen i'Er's phone, he imdiately began tracking that lead.
"The other party is back on the highway again..."
"They know well." Xiaofan said seriously.
"Hmm? What do you an?"
"They seem to know the people around , and , to so extent. They know Li Kuo has the ability to help track them down. That's why they proposed such a ga. But apart from wanting to kill , I really can't figure out what else they want. But, if they wanted to kill , in my current state without inner strength, it shouldn't take any effort at all."
"That ans, they don't know about you losing your inner strength." Li San continued.
"Yes, your assumption holds. But I always feel sothing else might happen. Anyway, let's rescue i'Er first."
"Okay. But if you engage in a fight, then the fact that you have no inner strength will be exposed, and then..."
"Let's save her first..."
Li San's point was clear to Xiaofan. If it got out that he lost his inner strength, he could face a lot of trouble.
Initially, after the Red Butterfly was eliminated, he thought he could peacefully enjoy his life. Unexpectedly, soone still didn't want to let him off so easily.
As ti ticked away, no matter how fast Xiaofan drove, he couldn't keep up with their back-and-forth maneuvering.
As dawn was about to break, Xiaofan grew increasingly anxious.
"Xiaofan, they've stopped."
"Hmm?"
Finally, at 5 AM, the signal device stopped moving...
When Xiaofan and Li San caught up, they unexpectedly found they had gone in a full circle and returned to the original spot where the explosion had occurred.
A car was parked up ahead, with the signal device flashing on it.
Step by step, as Li San tried to shield Xiaofan, Xiaofan pushed him aside.
"Why are you blocking ? Even if there's an explosion, your asly weight can't shield ."
"No, I can unlock it, step aside a bit, if there's an explosion, I can get away in ti." Li San said calmly.
"i'Er is in the car." Xiaofan had already seen the figure inside through the car window.
"What?"
"Even if it explodes, with her inside, I'm not leaving. Step aside, I know how to pick locks..."
Saying this, Xiaofan moved back to the car door and gently pulled.
Unexpectedly, the car door opened easily? Faced with such a surprise, Xiaofan beca even more cautious.
He feared triggering so switch that would cause an explosion, in which case Chen i'Er inside would perish instantly.
Finally, the door was fully opened without any mishap. Li San too remained constantly alert for potential dangers nearby.
The surroundings were so quiet it was unsettling. Breathing beca heavier.
"Xiaofan, how's the lady?"
"She's okay, just fainted, let's go. Back." Successfully carrying the unconscious Chen i'Er out of the car, Xiaofan briskly returned to his own car.
Then, Li San quickly started the car and headed back towards Capital City...
Did it just end like that? Just easily finding Chen i'Er without any danger?
Though it was the best outco, Xiaofan didn't think the other side would go to such lengths just to play a little ga with him.
A group broke into the Chen Family, even resorting to murder and kidnapping, causing an uproar in all of Capital City, just to play a cat-and-mouse ga with him?
The other side wasn't foolish, nor was Xiaofan… yet he'd managed to retrieve Chen i'Er so effortlessly? Could it be... a diversion?
With this thought, Xiaofan's heart started racing.
He took out his phone and dialed Liu Siyan's number. He was worried, very worried, that if they intended it as a diversion, then the ones he cared about would likely include Liu Siyan, Chen ngying, and Li Kuo among others.
He hadn't lost contact with Li Kuo, but what about Liu Siyan's side?
Answer the phone, please answer... hurry up and answer... Xiaofan frowned deeply, impatiently waiting for the call to be answered.
