“Move away!”

This road had been closed for construction for a few weeks; therefore, the sight of a dark shadow standing in the middle of the road scared Zhang Ben.

He didn’t slow down; instead, he closed in as he shouted at the stranger.

As a master in using Internal Force, Zhang Ben was able to run with incredible speed while carrying a girl under his arm. When he saw the stranger in front of him, he thought it was someone sent my the Bai Family.

However, once he got closer, he realized that it was Chen Fan.

“Interesting, why is he here?”

Zhang Ben was not alone in his confusion; the sight of Chen Fan also caught Yu Wenjin by surprise.

Chen Fan furrowed his brows and stared into the distance.

Once he had obtained the Li Fire Golden Eyes, his vision was improved tenfold. He was able to discern even the smallest movement ten kilometers away like a falcon.

He looked over Zhang Ben’s shoulder and registered a jeep coming this way fast and furious.

It was not long before Zhang Ben also sensed the rumbling of the jeep’s engine. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to outrun the vehicle, Zhang Ben stopped and let go of Yu Wenjin. He breathed heavily and said: “Go now! Go as far as possible. They are coming, and I will slow them down!”

And then he turned to look at Chen Fan and then said: “Aren’t you Yu Wenjin’s cla.s.smate? Someone wants to harm her, take her away from here. NOW!”

Yu Wenjin glanced at Zhang Ben; her eyes were filled with strong yet complicated emotions.

She hated the Young Master and his lackey for ruining her life. However, during this time of life and death, Zhang Ben turned out to be the one who saved her.

“Let’s move, Chen Fan.”

Yu Wenjin gritted teeth and darted toward Chen Fan. She got hold of Chen Fan’s arm and was about to run off the road into the field.

“Run? Why?”

Chen Fan stood still and didn’t move.

“It’s not the time for questions.” Despite Yu Wenjin’s reticent and calm demeanor, she couldn’t help but yell at the top of her lungs, and she stomped the ground in frustration. “Those people behind us are after me. Uncle Zhang is saving us time. Let’s go. We don’t’ have much time.”

“Don’t worry, I am here, and I will protect you.” Chen Fan cracked a smile.

He had already gotten a number on the situation. The scrawny man was here to keep a close watch on Yu Wenjin. However, the group of pursuers also wanted Yu Wenjin.

Since he had shown up, he would not allow their pursuit to continue.

“You!” Yu Wenjin shouted anxiously.

Zhang Ben was also taken aback by the boy’s words.

Anyone with a brain could tell that the situation was going downhill and running away should be the top priority. However, this foolish boy seemed to have gotten carried away with playing a hero.

“Are you stupid? Do you know who is after her?” Zhang Ben refuted. “They are not ordinary rascals; they are cut-throat a.s.sa.s.sins.”

“Just forget it. Yu Wenjin, your friend, is as dumb as an a.s.s, just let him be. He is courting death.”

“But…” Yu Wenjin was so frustrated that words evaporated from her mouth.

Her bond with Chen Fan was much more personal and stronger than that with Zhang Ben. They had been cla.s.smates and friends for years, and she couldn’t just send him to his death.

“Don’t worry about me, Xiao Jin. I told you that I would protect you. I won’t let them harm even a hair on your head.” Chen Fan said calmly with a placid expression. He looked into the distance and then said: “Plus, I think it’s already too late or us to run away.”

The girl and the middle-aged man looked back, and they saw a black jeep, the size of a small dot appeared at the end of the road.

“f.u.c.k it! Bring it on! Death means nothing to me.” The sight of her pursuer robbed Yu Wenjin of her last sliver of hope. She remarked with a wry smile.

Zhang Ben’s mind was about to snap. In his mind’s eyes, he saw himself breaking the boy’s neck for wasting precious time.

Whatever small chances they had in escaping, Chen Fan had ruined it. Right now, the best Zhang Ben could do was to recuperate as much as he could and prepare for the battle.

“Kacha!”

The jeep turned and broke abruptly, letting the rear end drift forward until the vehicle came to a full stop across the road.

“Why don’t you keep running? Go on. I want to see if you are faster then my car.”

Bai Wuji emerged out from the car and looked at the three people in the middle of the empty road with an eerie smile.
