An Sheng's car was an ordinary SUV, while the other party's was a modified off-road vehicle, superior in both performance and quality to An Sheng's.
When the car crashed into them, Shen Chi Yan instinctively shielded Song Qi Nian.
But after that collision, before An Sheng could react, the other car rammed them hard again from the side.
An Sheng had never experienced anything like this and turned pale with fright.
"Mr. Shen, what do we do? Those people aren't highway robbers, are they!"
Robbers would try to stop their car, not crash into them directly. These people clearly wanted them dead.
If the three of them stayed in the car, they would be sitting ducks. They needed to find a way to escape the current predicament.
Shen Chi Yan glanced at the surrounding environment and saw the dense forest ahead. "Drive into the forest!"
"Ah?"
"Quick! After you get out of the car, don't worry about anything else. Run directly to the left. Those people are after me. As long as you run fast enough, they won't chase you."
An Sheng's mind hadn't caught up yet, but his hands had already followed Shen Chi Yan's instructions, turning the steering wheel and driving into the forest.
The other party clearly hadn't expected them to drive directly into the forest.
With a loud "bang," An Sheng's car crashed into a large tree.
The car door opened, and An Sheng ran to the left as Shen Chi Yan had instructed, while Shen Chi Yan pulled Song Qi Nian and ran to the right.
The other party had clearly not expected Shen Chi Yan and the others to drive into the forest, but they quickly pursued.
However, the forest was full of trees, and their cars couldn't enter. The four pursuers all got out of their vehicles.
"Brother, someone ran to the left!"
"He's just the driver, ignore him. Our target is the other two! Chase them!"
The four people chased after Shen Chi Yan and Song Qi Nian.
It had snowed for several days before, and the snow in the forest was covered by trees. Even with the sun out, it hadn't melted much.
Running in the snow was already strenuous, and with Song Qi Nian's limited stamina, she couldn't run after only a few steps.
Were these people really after Shen Chi Yan? Or after her?
Before she could even figure it out, Song Qi Nian tripped on a branch and almost fell. Shen Chi Yan helped her up. "Are you alright?"
Song Qi Nian was about to gesture when Shen Chi Yan seemed to understand what she wanted to say and directly picked her up. "Don't say anything. I won't leave you here alone."
Song Qi Nian shook her head. If Shen Chi Yan were alone, he could escape, but with her, they couldn't outrun those four burly men.
Shen Chi Yan knew this well, but the current terrain and environment were extremely disadvantageous for him and Song Qi Nian. They needed to find a good place.
"Haha, Brother, look, they're almost out of breath! You bastards, making us chase you for so long. After we catch you, I'll tear that man limb from limb and then rape and kill the woman!"
The leader heard this and slapped the man beside him. "The other party is not a simple character. He's been in the military. We can't let our guard down."
"Hmph, no matter how capable they are, they can't escape this forest!"
Shen Chi Yan carried Song Qi Nian and ran for an unknown amount of time before finally finding a place with good terrain.
He placed Song Qi Nian in a spot that was not easily discovered, and with a deep breath, he kissed her flushed cheek, which was red from running. "Qi Qi, stay here quietly, don't make a sound. I'll come back for you after I've dealt with those people."
Seeing Shen Chi Yan about to leave, Song Qi Nian felt inexplicably flustered. She anxiously grabbed Shen Chi Yan's hand. "There are four of them, and they definitely have knives. One man can't fight four. How can Shen Chi Yan possibly be their match alone?"
Knowing Song Qi Nian was worried about him, Shen Chi Yan smiled. "Good girl, be obedient. Your husband won't let anything happen to you. But when I return victorious, I hope you'll give me a kiss as a reward."
"Where did they go? Brother, they're gone!"
"Hmph, a man with a woman can't run far. They must be hiding somewhere. Search for them! Even if you have to turn this whole forest upside down, find them!"
Hearing the sound of the pursuers, Shen Chi Yan's eyes turned cold. He made a "shushing" gesture to Song Qi Nian and quietly slipped away.
Song Qi Nian's hand instinctively reached out to grab Shen Chi Yan but missed. In that instant, her heart felt hollow.
No, she couldn't be a burden to Shen Chi Yan!
She had to believe in Shen Chi Yan. He was so capable; he would be fine!
Song Qi Nian clenched her fists tightly. Thinking of something, she took out her phone to ask Gao Kun Lun where they were, only to discover that she had no signal.
Damn it, they had to run into a deep mountain forest where there was no signal, so she couldn't send a message.
Knowing that the other party meant business, Shen Chi Yan immediately called Gao Kun Lun. He didn't know where Gao Kun Lun was at the moment, but he hoped they would arrive sooner.
For Song Qi Nian's safety, Shen Chi Yan deliberately moved further away from her hiding spot. He found a sharp wooden stake as a weapon and hid behind a tree, lying in wait.
Just then, a man walked over. After searching around and not seeing any sign of Shen Chi Yan or Song Qi Nian, he spat on the ground and cursed, "Son of a bitch, they can really hide. When I find them, I'll torture them to death..."
Before he could finish, Shen Chi Yan emerged from behind the tree and struck him hard on the head with the stake. The man collapsed before he could even react.
Fortunately, the forest, with its trees and snow, was an excellent hiding place.
Shen Chi Yan used the same method to take down the second person.
His eyes were sharp, and his movements were fast, precise, and ruthless.
"Third brother... Fourth brother... where did you go? Damn it, where's Big Brother?"
The second man, who was speaking, had been looking for them. Hearing no response, he became alert and held a long knife for self-defense.
When Shen Chi Yan appeared, he suddenly turned and dodged a critical blow, swinging the knife directly at Shen Chi Yan.
Shen Chi Yan reacted quickly and kicked the knife out of his hand.
The man glanced at the knife on the ground, then said sternly, "I'll kill you!"
He attacked Shen Chi Yan bare-handed. Shen Chi Yan could tell from a few exchanges that the other party was a skilled fighter.
But he was no match for Shen Chi Yan. Just as he was about to defeat the opponent, a gunshot rang out. Shen Chi Yan's shoulder was hit.
Shen Chi Yan's gaze became even colder. He hadn't expected the other party to have a gun.
"Stop, or the next bullet will be in your head."
Shen Chi Yan desperately wanted to kill them, but thinking of Song Qi Nian, he had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.
If he died, these people would definitely not let Song Qi Nian go.
