Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman wanted to return to Haicheng with Qin Yi, and Qin Yi couldn't refuse, nor did he want to. He took the two women with him.
Qin Yi directly hailed a taxi, and the three of them took a ride back to Haicheng.
The taxi driver, seeing Qin Yi, a man, accompanied by two beauties, looked a bit strange at first.
However, thinking that he could earn over a thousand yuan from this trip, he said nothing more.
"Qin Yi, is your place big? If Xiao Man and I come over, can we fit?"
In the car, Lan Baizhi asked Qin Yi.
With outsiders present, she no longer called Qin Yi "junior brother" but addressed him by name.
As soon as she asked this question, Qin Yi, sitting in the passenger seat, subconsciously glanced at the taxi driver.
Indeed, he noticed the driver's expression had turned strange again. The driver even turned to look at him, a hint of contempt and disgust flickering in his eyes.
Qin Yi felt utterly speechless.
He didn't know if Lan Baizhi had asked this intentionally or not.
In the driver's eyes, he must have seemed like a complete scumbag!
Thus, Qin Yi didn't reply. He leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and decided to rest.
"I'm asking you a question?"
Lan Baizhi, sitting in the back, still wanted to reach out and pat Qin Yi's shoulder.
However, before she could reach him, Ren Shuman pulled her hand back.
Lan Baizhi turned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"What do you think I'm doing! What kind of question are you asking?" Ren Shuman said, "There are other people here, what do you expect others to think of Qin Yi when you ask like this?"
Hearing this, Lan Baizhi finally came to her senses, realizing her question was problematic.
She then explained to the taxi driver, "Driver, please don't misunderstand. Our relationship with him is not what you think!"
"We are his senior sisters, and he is our junior brother!"
"Oh, oh, I understand..." The driver nodded in acknowledgment.
However, judging by his expression, he didn't seem convinced at all.
On the contrary, the more Lan Baizhi explained, the more it felt like protesting too much, making him even more convinced that the relationship between the two women and Qin Yi was not simple!
Even with his eyes closed, Qin Yi felt a wave of embarrassment and sighed inwardly, wondering why he had such an extraordinary senior sister.
Later, to avoid further awkwardness, Qin Yi kept his eyes closed and rested throughout the journey. Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman also remained silent, sitting quietly in the back seat.
After an unknown amount of time, the taxi had left Heilong City and was driving on a mountain highway.
Ren Shuman, who had been gazing out the window at the passing scenery, suddenly sensed something. She sharply withdrew her gaze and shouted at the driver, "Stop!"
Hearing this, Qin Yi opened his eyes, and Lan Baizhi turned to look at Ren Shuman.
"What's wrong?"
Ren Shuman didn't answer. She repeated to the driver, "Driver, stop the car!"
"We're on the highway, we can't stop..."
*Swish.*
Before the driver could finish speaking, a black dot shot from afar towards the taxi.
In the blink of an eye, it was in front of the car, instantly piercing the windshield and heading towards Qin Yi.
At that moment, Qin Yi's body instinctively tensed, his hairs standing on end, and an unprecedented sense of death washed over him!
"Qin Yi, be careful!!!"
However, at this critical juncture, Ren Shuman suddenly reached out with her right hand and snatched the black dot out of the air in front of Qin Yi.
*Screech...*
Following this incident, the driver slammed on the brakes, bringing the taxi to an abrupt halt.
After the tires skidded for a distance and the car stopped, the driver saw a small hole in the windshield and his face turned instantly pale.
He stammered, "Wh-wh-what happened?"
But no one answered him. The moment the car stopped, Qin Yi, Lan Baizhi, and Ren Shuman had already pushed open the doors and gotten out.
Immediately after, Qin Yi tossed a wad of cash through the window and said, "Driver, please hurry and leave!"
Although the driver didn't understand what had happened, seeing the thick stack of cash on the passenger seat, he didn't ask any further questions. He stepped on the gas and quickly sped away.
After the taxi left, the three of them stood on the highway, facing the same direction, their expressions grim.
At this moment, Ren Shuman opened her right palm. In her palm lay a long metal bullet!
Blood was also flowing from Ren Shuman's palm.
Clearly, although she had managed to catch the bullet, her hand had been injured.
Seeing this, Qin Yi felt nothing but a mix of gratitude and guilt.
But Lan Baizhi was utterly shocked to see Ren Shuman injured. Having cultivated with Ren Shuman on the island for many years, no one knew Ren Shuman's strength better than she did!
The fact that she could be injured by a mere bullet meant the bullet's power was incredible!
*Swish, swish, swish...*
Before any of them could say anything, several more whistling sounds pierced the air.
Several black dots, moving with lightning speed, shot towards Qin Yi.
"Qin Yi, be careful!"
"Dodge..."
Ren Shuman and Lan Baizhi shouted in unison. Like figures shifting instantly, they appeared in front of him.
Then, both of them simultaneously reached out forward. Qin Yi's eyesight could only catch the afterimages of their hands as they moved.
In an instant, the two of them seemed to have grabbed hundreds of times.
Subsequently, those black dots that had been whistling through the air and shooting towards Qin Yi were all caught in their hands.
At this moment, several hundred meters away from the highway, on a large tree, a disheveled, one-eyed man was holding a sniper rifle.
He looked through the scope and saw Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman's actions, his face filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible???"
He looked as if he had seen a ghost.
The next moment, as the one-eyed man, unwillingly, prepared to fire again, he suddenly noticed that on the highway, Qin Yi, Lan Baizhi, and Ren Shuman had disappeared.
Before he could think further, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his head spun.
Then, in a daze, the one-eyed man only felt the scenery around him change and recede. When his consciousness slightly recovered, he found himself kneeling on the highway, in front of Qin Yi.
Lan Baizhi clapped her hands and said to Qin Yi, "Junior Brother, he was the one shooting at you just now!"
Ren Shuman held the one-eyed man's sniper rifle and examined it, realizing, "No wonder, this sniper rifle has been specially modified. Its power is several times greater than a regular sniper rifle!"
Lan Baizhi, hearing this, also seemed to understand, "So that's it! I was wondering when you became so weak, Xiao Man, that even a normal bullet could injure you!"
The one-eyed man looked at his current situation and listened to their conversation, his shock was unparalleled.
It was one thing for the two women to easily block his bullets, but he was hidden on a tree hundreds of meters away, and in the blink of an eye, he was brought here. He hadn't even reacted and didn't know how he had been captured by them...
For a moment, the one-eyed man looked up at the two women, swallowed, and asked, "Wh-who are you people???"
