After a long silence, Yin Chen also smiled and murmured, "No wonder he likes you so much. You're very much like your mother—upright and unyielding, making people want to press you down and watch you struggle."
You Mingxu felt a surge of alertness; his reaction made her sense a certain danger. Yet another thought surfaced in her mind: Yin Chen's tone when speaking of her mother was clearly filled with a desire for control and destruction. Could it be... that the admiration and love he had just mentioned didn't exist at all? It was all fake. He and her mother never had that kind of relationship. Had he said those things just to provoke her and Xing Jifu?
Could it even be that he was the one who... killed her mother back then? Although back then, the serial killer identified by the police was found dead in an apartment, having died a gruesome death.
But Yin Chen's attitude when mentioning her mother, with its underlying madness, made her feel that something was off.
Suppressing her doubts, You Mingxu remained silent for the moment, not wanting to further pique this psychopath's interest. Yin Chen, lost in thought, turned to gaze out the window at the dark night, his expression somber.
It was only then that You Mingxu noticed the person beside her, who had been silent all along, moving closer and whispering in her ear, "Don't talk to him anymore. His target was originally me."
You Mingxu looked up and first saw Xing Jifu's graying temples, his concerned expression, and unexpectedly clear eyes. She replied calmly, "I know my limits."
"If there's a chance, you escape. I'll hold them back," Xing Jifu whispered again in an extremely low voice right by her ear.
You Mingxu said nothing.
She had never thought of asking this man anything. Now, she suddenly felt the impulse, but in the end, she remained silent.
The car fell into silence.
The mountain road twisted and turned without a single light. The night was deep, and they were the only ones driving deep into the remote mountains. Occasionally, another car would pass by, but no one would notice anything unusual about these two vehicles. You Mingxu knew they were moving further and further away from the police's jurisdiction, and it was possible that the tracking signal had been lost again.
Would Yin Feng, along with Jing Ping and Xu Mengshan, be able to find her? Would they catch up?
With the current tense situation outside and the police in full force, the Punishers had intercepted the Xing father and son. Combined with what Yin Chen had just revealed, they would likely hide in the mountains for a while.
If Yin Feng couldn't find her today...
Perhaps he would never find her again.
Yet, inexplicably, You Mingxu felt a surge of courage and an inexplicable belief that he would come.
Just like every time before.
And even if he didn't come, she would find a way to deal with these heinous criminals!
She looked up at the three armed Punishers across from her. With Yin Chen, there were five of them in the vehicle. She noticed that no matter how deeply she, Xing Jifu, and Yin Chen had delved into grudges and secrets, the three men across from them hadn't even flinched. They remained dutiful, keeping their guns trained on Xing Jifu and her. This was the reason she hadn't dared to act recklessly. Just these three men had calloused hands, evidence of rigorous firearms training, and their sturdy builds suggested muscles brimming with strength. They exuded a far more intimidating presence than ordinary gang drug dealers. Considering the skill levels of Gu Tiancheng and Wei Lan, You Mingxu had no confidence in escaping under the gunpoint threat of these three.It was also evident that they held immense trust in Yin Chen, bordering on blind obedience. You Mingxu believed they had been brainwashed, willing to risk their lives to pursue what Yin Chen called "all virtue dead, all evil upheld."
This was a tricky situation.
They could only wait for an opportunity.
The vehicle holding Xing Yanjun was in front, while You Mingxu and Xing Jifu were in the second car.
The night grew deeper, and the mountains were eerily silent, devoid of any other sounds.
The upheaval happened in an instant.
Suddenly, You Mingxu sensed two beams of intense light shooting toward them from ahead. She immediately looked up, and everyone in the car followed suit. Yin Chen’s expression shifted as he turned around—
Two blinding headlights abruptly lit up from the roadside ahead—where a large SUV had silently parked at some unknown time. Just as the first vehicle was about to pass, the SUV suddenly roared to life!
You Mingxu could almost imagine the scene: in the pitch darkness, the driver and occupants of the first car would be dazzled by the sudden glare, their vision turning white, even temporarily blinded. The engine roared violently as the SUV, like a tiger charging out of the mountains, accelerated instantly and slammed into the first vehicle!
Yin Chen’s face turned pale.
The people in the first car couldn’t see a thing at that moment! With a deafening "boom," the two vehicles collided violently. The first car had been traveling at high speed, and the SUV’s impact was ferocious, utterly reckless. The first car was sent tumbling over before crashing heavily into the rocky wall beside the road, coming to a dead stop. The SUV’s front end was completely crushed, almost embedded in the first car’s body, and it too had smashed into the rock wall.
Everything happened in a split second. Silence fell over both vehicles. They now blocked more than half of the mountain road.
The second car, carrying You Mingxu, sped closer in an instant. There was no time to brake. The driver swerved sharply, barely scraping past the SUV’s rear end, narrowly avoiding a pile-up.
But this move…
This life-risking, car-ramming tactic was all too familiar to You Mingxu! The driver of that SUV was extraordinarily brave, utterly fearless, single-handedly taking out an entire vehicle of Punishers!
As their car brushed past the wreck, You Mingxu spun around and peered through the window. Sure enough, she spotted a familiar, burly figure slumped in the SUV’s driver seat, pinned by the airbag, covered in blood from head to toe, eyes tightly shut—whether alive or dead, it was impossible to tell.
Tuya!!
