1028 Perplexed and Smitten 88 (1/2)

When they reached a road that was much emptier, the driver dropped his facade and began speeding toward An Xiaoning's car in a bid to ram into it.

She was not flustered at all since it was not her first time being tailed. Thus, she looked at the rear view mirror calmly and pressed the accelerator down all the way, causing her car to surge forward.

The car behind hers followed suit, hot in pursuit.

She immediately ditched her plans to go to the police station and took another route, thinking to herself that it would be inappropriate since the police station was situated in an area where human flow was abundant.

After she noticed that the car was chasing her non-stop, an idea popped up in her head.

She wanted to find out just who the person tailing her was.

An Xiaoning sped toward Heyuan Mountain while the driver followed suit, despite not knowing what she was planning to do. There was some distance between the two cars. By the time they arrived, they were greeted with the sight of An Xiaoning's car parked in the middle of the road while she was nowhere in sight.

The four of them looked at each other in shock and dismay.

\”Where is she?\”

\”Do you think she ran away?\”

\”I don't think so. If she wanted to run away, she would've run home straight instead of coming to such a remote area.\”

\”Makes sense. Do you think she laid a trap for us?\”

\”That's very likely. We must be cautious and never let our guard down.\” As soon as he finished speaking, he was thrust forward all of a sudden. The three other accomplices looked over to see that he was bleeding from his chest. An Xiaoning had struck him right in his heart.

Pangs of panic engulfed the three of them, who quickly whipped out their guns and scanned their surroundings. In no time, yet another man was knocked down.

The two remaining men hurriedly ran toward the car, frightened out of their senses.

In the midst of their attempt to escape, the third man was struck fatally.

The only one remaining stumbled forward. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, his neck was wrapped by a lasso, which was tightened even further. An Xiaoning tugged the rope toward herself, causing him to fall on one knee, appearing extremely petrified.

An Xiaoning pushed the branches and leaves away from her face before jumping down from the tree. Glaring at him coldly, she walked toward him while holding the rope in her hands.

\”You were tailing me and trying to ram your car against mine? Were you trying to kill me?\” she questioned.

The man stared at her with fear written all over his face. \”No… Ms. An, please be magnanimous and let me off.\”

\”You have to tell me who sent you, then.\”

He hung his head low, remaining silent.

\”You're playing dumb? Then go and join your fellow brothers,\” she threatened, tightening her grip.

\”I don't know… who the person who sent us is. I only know that we were given a hefty sum,\” he spluttered, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

\”How did he contact you?\”

\”Via text message?\”

\”What's the number?\” she probed.

He fumbled about in his pocket to retrieve a mobile phone, which he then handed to An Xiaoning. While she was looking down at the screen, the man pounced on her all of a sudden, completely ignoring the fact that he had a rope around his neck.
