After braking, I instantly accelerated and, using the traffic light on the other side of the intersection, slammed on the gas pedal and sped away in the Range Rover.
The cars following behind
So, I had to go into the gas station!
Driving the Range Rover at breakneck speed, I pulled into the gas station and slammed on the brakes.
The sharp screech of tires filled the air, making my ears go numb.
After parking, I didn't dare linger. I quickly called for Master and Disciple Camel to get out of the car with me and ran into the small path behind the gas station in the dark.
Not long after we started running, I heard another harsh braking sound from behind, followed by chaotic and rapid footsteps.
Without a doubt, those people had caught up.
Originally, if the Range Rover had been fine, I could have used the advantage of its speed to try and shake off the pursuers.
But now, I could only rely on my legs.
About ten minutes later, after passing through the small path, I arrived at an area lit by neon lights.
It was clearly a street lined with bathhouses.
My gaze fell on the largest foot massage parlor on the roadside, and I led Master and Disciple Camel quickly inside.
Taking out about a thousand yuan in cash from my pocket, I handed it to a heavily made-up female technician standing guard at the counter.
I told the technician that if anyone came looking for us later, she absolutely could not sell us out.
If she could do that and successfully lead them away, there would be a cash reward later.
After speaking, I took Master and Disciple Camel straight to the second floor.
I did this not because I truly expected the technician to help us keep our secret, but to buy myself some breathing room.
Prolonged strenuous running consumed the most stamina and endurance. I didn't know how skilled those seven people were or if they were armed.
Without understanding the enemy's strength, engaging them blindly was the worst strategy.
Adjusting myself to the best condition and waiting for an opportunity was the correct approach.
Finding a private room by the window, I gasped for air, still not fully recovered.
While racing against time to rest and recover, I sent a text message to Yu Shuang, wanting to see if she had escaped danger.
If not, then my previous move would have been a blunder.
But I trusted Yu Shuang's abilities.
Fortunately, she didn't disappoint me. Less than a minute after I sent the message, she replied, saying she was safe.
Just as I was preparing to reply, I suddenly heard a series of disordered and rapid footsteps from downstairs.
Clearly, the pursuers had arrived.
Whether I could survive the hands of these unknown pursuers depended on how the situation developed next...
