Lu Manman put down her cell phone and looked up.
She narrowed her eyes.
In the high-rise building far away, a huge photo of Wen Yun had been taken down.
Back then, he had been the official spokesperson for Wen City.
He had such a positive image and was the most respected and admired young man in the city. Now that his mask had been torn off so mercilessly, everyone was gloating over his misfortune.
It wasn’t just her.
Most of the politicians were happy to see this happen. Hence, Wen Yun’s news was getting increasingly viral.
“Miss Lu,” Qin Ao said.
Lu Manman had a bad feeling about this seemingly invisible man’s sudden words.
“We’re being followed.” Qin Ao looked at her in the rearview mirror.
Lu Manman turned around and saw a black car behind her. It had obviously been modified, and the bumper was especially thick.
“Can we lose him?” she asked nervously.
“No problem.”
Before she could heave a sigh of relief, he continued. “But someone has tampered with the brakes.”
“What?”
“It was done very professionally. When I got into the car and did a cursory check, I didn’t notice it. It seems like they just adjusted the brakes a little. It’s alright if I don’t drive too fast, but if I were to accelerate in order to get rid of the people behind, then the brakes wouldn’t work at all.”
Lu Manman bit her lip.
“Miss Lu, we have two choices now. First, we park the car. But if the car behind us is trying to hit us, we will be smashed to pieces before we can even run. Second, we need to speed up. I can shake off the car in front, but I can’t guarantee that we will be able to stop safely.” Qin Ao analyzed calmly.
“Accelerate.” Lu Manman did not even think about it.
Qin Ao was stunned.
“I don’t want to experience being smashed to pieces by a car again,” she said word by word.
Very good.
She had been tricked by Wen Yun again.
She had thought about it before. When she entered the house and met Wen Jiangxing, she knew he wouldn’t do anything to her car. After all, he thought that she was there to make peace with him, so he wouldn’t want to hurt her.
But Wen Yun was different.
She had no idea when he would return to the Wen family’s main household, or perhaps he was already back as soon as she entered.
When he saw her car, he could get someone to drive Lu Zichuan’s family away so that he could take revenge on what happened in her villa. Then, he could get someone to tamper with her car.
Based on her understanding of him, he would surely take revenge on her for what she had done to him. Wen Yun was not going to be softhearted.
Lu Manman sneered and looked at Qin Ao calmly. “Did you just say you can’t guarantee that we can safely stop?”
“Is there a problem, Miss Lu?”
“Does it mean you might be able to stop safely?”
“Of course, brakes aren’t the only tool for braking,” Qin Ao said. “We can reduce the speed and then apply friction to the brakes. But the faster we move, the less confident we will be.”
“I believe you,” Lu Manman said slowly.
Qin Ao kept accelerating. “Miss Lu, aren’t you afraid of death?”
“I know I need to calm down now. Otherwise, what if you panic?”
Qin Ao seemed to laugh.
A smile didn’t look good on his serious face.
He said, “I owe Mr. Mo a huge debt out of gratitude. I have no regrets even if I die for him.”
“…” Lu Manman furrowed her brows.
The car suddenly shuddered.
She grabbed the armrest.
Qin Ao’s expression turned serious instantly. “I’m starting to speed up. Please grab hold of something, Miss Lu.”
With that, the car sped down the streets of Wen City in a frenzy.
The car behind was hot on their heels.
