The winding mountain road, two cars were driving.
Chen Jinzhao was driving alone and halfway, he saw the car in front stop. He then parked his car by the roadside and went to check the situation.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Hu were surrounding the car, discussing something in low voices.
Chen Jinzhao walked up, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Wu said, "Young Master Chen, this car seems to have been in an accident. However, we couldn't find the owner, and the other accident vehicle has disappeared."
"What do you think we should do?"
Chen Jinzhao said without hesitation, "Search the car's contents and see if there are any clues."
He remembered the drone he glimpsed before leaving the village, and vaguely felt it was related to this SUV. Moreover, his heart was still uneasy, as if something bad was happening.
"I hope it's just my imagination..." he muttered.
After searching the car by the Wu brothers, they indeed found the drone.
"And this," Xiao Hu handed a document to Chen Jinzhao.
It was a driver's license left in the car. Chen Jinzhao frowned as he opened it, "Jiang Donghui, how could it be him?"
If it were Jiang Donghui, there would be no need to flee the scene. Then there was only one possibility—
Jiang Donghui was in danger.
Chen Jinzhao said to the two of them, "Let's split up and find his whereabouts."
Xiao Wu hesitated, "I think there was more than one person in the car. The passenger seat was still warm. This means Jiang Donghui likely came out with the young lady."
Now Wu Lingyun was also missing, which was worrying.
"Call my uncle first," Chen Jinzhao decided immediately, not intending to hide the truth.
Xiao Wu nodded.
At the same time, Chen Jinzhao's phone rang. He saw it was Wu Lingyun calling, so he gestured to Xiao Wu to hold off on informing Li Qiutao for now.
Xiao Wu put down his phone and looked at Chen Jinzhao.
"Hello."
"This is Chen Jinzhao."
Instead of Wu Lingyun's voice, a broken Chinese voice came from the other end, "You are Chen Jinzhao?"
Chen Jinzhao's brows tightened further, "Where is Wu Lingyun?"
The black man chuckled, "In my hands. If you don't want her to be tormented by me, come alone now. I'll send you the location later. By the way, don't even think about contacting anyone. If I find out you've contacted official forces, I'll kill both of them."
Chen Jinzhao didn't doubt this at all. There were definitely spies from opposing forces within the system.
"I promise you," he said.
The black man laughed even more heartily, "As expected of the Dragon's Eye. Then I'll be waiting for you."
Beep—
The other party hung up directly.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Hu immediately surrounded him, "Young Master Chen, the young lady is in the hands of the other party? Where is that bastard? We'll go find him now!"
The two were furious, their martial spirit overflowing.
Chen Jinzhao raised his hand to calm them down, "You two go back to the city first and tell my uncle about this. Remember, you must not talk about it on the phone, you must tell him face-to-face."
"And—"
"Pay special attention to one thing: tell my uncle not to send any visible forces. Otherwise, they will kill them."
"Young Master Chen, what about you?" Xiao Wu frowned.
Chen Jinzhao's sword-like eyebrows relaxed, and he said in a low voice, "He's coming for me. Logically, he would also know about Wu Lingyun's relationship with me to use her to threaten me. So, if he doesn't want to die, he shouldn't do anything to Wu Lingyun. Otherwise, he'll have to face the wrath of the Wu family, and even the forces behind him won't be able to protect him."
The more he understood the Wu family, the more he knew how terrifying they were.
Even though the Wu family patriarch was no longer in that position, the Wu family could be considered the shadow of this country! They could influence all aspects of this country through the disciples and former officials of Old Master Wu, and they could also amass wealth through these people, even influencing policy! Even the Qin family was inferior to the Wu family. Only those who were tired of living would oppose the Wu family.
Xiao Wu wanted to go with Chen Jinzhao, but Chen Jinzhao rejected him.
"If you two go, and he knows he's at a disadvantage, the probability of him killing them will increase sharply," Chen Jinzhao reassured them, not to worry. That person might not necessarily be able to kill him.
The usually taciturn Xiao Hu also said, "Young Master Chen, you must be careful."
"Mr. Li once told us that if we were in an extremely dangerous situation and had to choose between you and the young lady, Mr. Li hoped you would live."
Chen Jinzhao's heart trembled, "Uncle's intentions are deeply appreciated."
"You two go first. I'll wait for that person's reply. This small matter won't stump me."
The two brothers didn't linger and drove back to the city.
Chen Jinzhao drove slowly along the winding mountain roads. About ten minutes later, he received the coordinates sent by the other party. A cold glint appeared in Chen Jinzhao's eyes, and he stepped on the accelerator to head to the location provided.
Inside the abandoned village.
The black man had placed the two there and then left, even extinguishing the candles.
Wu Lingyun, who had never suffered such hardship, quickly asked Jiang Donghui beside her, "Will we die?"
Jiang Donghui knew he couldn't panic, otherwise, Wu Lingyun would break down. He said in a steady tone, "No, don't worry too much. Now we should worry about Brother Chen's situation. This black man has clearly set a trap for Brother Chen, and his situation will be very bad if he comes."
"Don't worry too much about him, worry about ourselves," Wu Lingyun said irritably.
Jiang Donghui wanted to say something but stopped.
Wu Lingyun said before him, "Besides, who knows if he will come? Our relationship is so bad, how could he possibly venture into a dangerous place for me?"
She would be grateful if he just informed Li Qiutao.
"Don't mention him in front of me. Don't you know I have a feud with him?" Wu Lingyun added.
Jiang Donghui sighed and decided not to say anything more.
After waiting for about twenty minutes.
The two had not yet seen Chen Jinzhao. Jiang Donghui began to doubt himself—
Could it be that Chen Jinzhao really disregarded Wu Lingyun's predicament?
Wu Lingyun even felt a little smug, "See, I told you, Chen Jinzhao is too narrow-minded to come and save us."
If she were in his shoes, she wouldn't extend a hand to Chen Jinzhao in danger.
Let alone risk her life.
At the same time.
A car was slowly approaching the abandoned village along the winding mountain road. One kilometer away from the village, Chen Jinzhao abandoned his car and walked towards the village.
He hadn't gone a hundred meters when suddenly he heard the sound of fire behind him and gunshots in his ears, followed by a wave of heat from behind!
Chen Jinzhao reacted instantly, diving to the ground.
Then he turned back sharply and saw that the car had been ignited and was swallowed by flames!
If he hadn't gotten out of the car, he would probably be a charred corpse by now.
"Bastard."
"Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
