Chapter 186 - Mountain Forest
Chapter 186: Mountain Forest
Quan Yu was a very good driver. He would spend free time on racing tracks.
The car dropped to the ground and shook.
While the biker was still in a state of shock, Quan Yu immediately stepped on the gas. The car zipped back into the mountains.
“Fuckers, what are you people doing? What are you standing there for? Go chase after them!” When the biker came to his senses, he hissed to order the motorcade who had arrive. He grabbed his gun and fired at Quan Yu’s car. Due to the distance and the trees, none of the bullet hit. He could only look on helplessly as Quan Yu’s car disappeared into the mountains.
The duo inside the car didn’t once turn around to check on the enemies. Without slowing down, the car charged aimlessly into the mountain forest like a headless chicken. When he were certain the sound of engines couldn’t be heard anymore, Quan Yu slammed on the brake. The car reeled on the stony path and then died.
Mo Li panted non-step. In her previous life, she had investigated underworld-related cases before but she had not been in actual life and death chases. Even now, she still felt like she was dreaming.
“Quan Yu, this car can’t be used anymore.” Mo Li said in a voice that was as even as possible. “The man’s target is you so he won’t give up that easily. We need to leave here immediately to seek help.”
Quan Yu’s lips were turning pale again. He kept his spirits up and pecked Mo Li on the side of her head. “You really can read my mind. Come on. They always say a walk through the woods is quite romantic.”
Mo Li was in no mood to smile. She pulled herself up from Quan Yu’s grasp and considered their next phase of action.
Quan Yu walked very slowly but his gait was determined. He grabbed Mo Li’s hand as they walked. He even joked, “Don’t be scared. They’re gunning for me. When you’re around me, something like this is quite common.”
Mo Li wanted to pull her hand back but she noticed how cold Quan Yu’s hand was. She wanted to tell Quan Yu to let go but when the words left her lips, they became, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I won’t let them lay a finger on you.” Right after that, Mo Li wanted to bite her tongue off. What am I saying?!
Quan Yu chuckled at that and his insufferably arrogant smile returned to his face. Quan Yu then realized Mo Li was not only not mad that she was dragged into the danger because of him, she even felt protective of him.
Quan Yu’s heart warmed at that realization. All of the sudden, his determination to cure his illness returned. If I have a healthy body, I can bring her all over the world and most importantly, I can protect her when we’re in danger…
Mo Li’s head was still buzzing from the chase. This was their first time coming so deep into this mountain and it was safe to say that they were lost.
Mo Li lifted her head to look up into the sky. The darkness didn’t help their situation. Even though Quan Yu was holding her hand, she could barely see him through the darkness.
To make matters worse, it suddenly started to drizzle. Then the drizzle became a downpour. Quan Yu and Mo Li were dumbfounded. Where were they going to find a place to hide from the rain in the forest?
Quan Yu wanted to remove his coat to cover Mo Li but he instantly saw Mo Li glare at him. Quan Yu coughed awkwardly and said, “Well, at least this adventure will be something we’ll definitely remember.”
