There wasn't a speck of blood on the front of the car.
Looking around, neither under the chassis of the car nor on the road in the distance, not a single person could be seen.
"Strange, where did they go?"
The driver was puzzled.
He thought he might have seen things.
But if he was seeing things, surely Miss Lin in the back seat wasn't seeing them too.
But if that wasn't the case?
Then where were they? Did they just evaporate?
The driver's mouth hung open in astonishment, trying to find a rational explanation.
Just then, a voice slowly arose.
"Hey, what are you looking for?"
The driver turned his head at the sound.
In an instant, every nerve in his body went numb.
Standing before him was the very person he had seen in the car, the one he was about to hit.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?"
The driver instinctively backed away, and at the same time, subconsciously reached into the car and grabbed a wrench, holding it in his hand.
Lu Feng looked perplexed.
Did he not look human?
"Of course, I'm human."
"Then, just now, just now!"
The driver's voice trembled noticeably.
He found it hard to imagine how this unremarkable young man before him had managed to evade such a certain death situation, and so effortlessly, unharmed.
Lu Feng's voice was calm, "Oh, you mean that. Here."
He looked up at a branch in mid-air.
"You were driving towards me just now, weren't you? So I had to go up."
"What? That place is three meters off the ground!"
The driver was even more dumbfounded.
Such jumping ability surpassed Jordan's.
This explanation was less believable than him being hit and sent to another dimension!
Lu Feng, however, looked relaxed, "What's so difficult about that?"
He wasn't lying. Years of training in the mountains had made it second nature to him.
"Sorry about earlier."
Lin Mei, also shocked, got out of the car upon hearing the voice.
"I had an urgent matter, so I wasn't thinking."
Lu Feng looked up as she spoke.
He couldn't help but be struck by the beauty of the exquisite woman before him.
A melon seed face, flowing hair.
Faint, smoky eyebrows framing dark, beautiful eyes.
Pearly white teeth like the moon.
In Lu Feng's eyes, such beauty was on par with a celebrity.
"It's fine."
Meeting such a beautiful woman for the first time, Lu Feng awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
Before he could finish, Lin Mei gently interrupted, "Master Wang, give him the money. This money is for the emotional compensation. Also, you're quite skilled. If you're looking for work, come find me directly."
As Lin Mei spoke, she handed Lu Feng a business card.
"Use this to find me."
Lin Mei had been looking for a bodyguard for a while. Lately, she had felt uneasy about her surroundings.
The driver took out ten hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Lu Feng.
"Here."
Lu Feng immediately felt a bit embarrassed.
Lin Mei raised her captivating eyes, "Please accept it."
If it weren't for this young man's agility, she would have had to pay a hefty sum today.
Lu Feng looked at the money and felt a surge of joy.
People from down the mountain were truly generous.
A thousand yuan was no small amount.
On the mountain, it was enough to eat for a year.
And now, just after descending the mountain, without having done anything, he had earned a thousand yuan.
Lu Feng thought to himself.
"It seems what they say on TV is true, people from down the mountain are rich."
Seeing Lin Mei get back into the car.
And the car was heading in the direction indicated by the signpost, "Southeast City Downtown".
He figured she was going there.
Lu Feng quickly asked, "By the way, Sister, do you know how to get to Southeast City Downtown?"
"You're going there?"
Lin Mei looked at Lu Feng.
"Yes," Lu Feng nodded, "I need to find someone named Dong Ye."
"What?"
Upon hearing the name, Lin Mei felt as if she had been struck hard on the head with a wooden stick.
"You know Dong Ye?"
Dong Ye was the renowned richest woman in Southeast City.
Everyone knew her.
But Lin Mei hadn't expected that a country boy, dressed so shabbily and clearly unaccustomed to the ways of the world, would also be looking for Dong Ye.
"No, I don't."
Lu Feng shook his head.
He had no idea what this person looked like.
Hearing this, Lin Mei secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Perhaps it's just a common name."
Seeing Lu Feng standing by the car, Lin Mei poked her head out, "How about this, we're also going to Southeast City. You can come with us."
"Thank you, Sister!"
Lu Feng was overjoyed to hear this.
He had been wondering how to get there.
He hadn't expected to meet someone on the way.
Just as he was about to get into the car, the driver, Master Wang, looked troubled, "Miss Lin, I don't think that's appropriate. Aren't we in a hurry?"
Lin Mei didn't seem to mind.
"We won't be late even with this kid."
"But we're going to a confidential business seminar."
Master Wang continued to remind her, his words, demeanor, and actions all clearly indicating his desire to keep the young man out.
"Master Wang, this kid doesn't understand any of this, it's fine."
Having said that much.
Master Wang dared not disobey Lin Mei.
"Then get in."
Master Wang waved his hand, looking impatient.
Lu Feng immediately got into the car, but just before entering.
Master Wang whispered into Lu Feng's ear.
"Kid, later, don't meddle in anything."
"I won't, Master, thank you."
Lu Feng, carefree, got into the car.
This was his first time riding in a car since coming down from the mountain.
And his first time in such a luxurious business vehicle.
The interior of the car was far more opulent than the house he lived in on the mountain.
A faint scent of aromatherapy also wafted through the air.
Compared to the mountain, this place, in Lu Feng's eyes, was like a palace.
Lin Mei watched Lu Feng looking around, excited like a child.
She curiously asked, "What? Haven't you seen it before?"
Lu Feng shook his head, his eyes still scanning the surroundings.
"No, I really haven't."
Lin Mei looked at this country bumpkin. Although she found him somewhat distasteful, he did add a lot of amusement to her otherwise tedious journey.
"What's your name? Where are you from?"
Lu Feng answered each question without reservation.
Remembering Lin Mei's expression when she heard him mention the name Dong Ye earlier.
Lu Feng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, you don't happen to know Dong Ye, do you?"
If this person knew her, then his first mission after descending the mountain would be a great success.
As for any sort of tempering, Lu Feng had no interest whatsoever.
Right now, Lu Feng only had one thing on his mind.
To complete the mission as soon as possible and return to Yuntai Mountain to reunite with his master.
If the person before him knew, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?
Lu Feng looked at Lin Mei with expectant eyes.
However, at that moment, screech.
With a violent braking sound, Lu Feng was almost thrown from his seat.
"Master Wang, what's wrong?"
Lin Mei's brow immediately furrowed, "How are you driving!"
As she spoke, her eyes lifted.
The scene before them made Lin Mei not only furious but also utterly bewildered.
