Chapter 1354:

? ? ? ? ?

Nicole heard nothing but a loud bang as the bullet penetrated the roof, reaching the windshield. Overwhelmed by the suddenness of it all, she was left in utter confusion.

It was clear that the van had made a good bet. The black SUV, surprised by the van's sudden change of target, went into a state of panic.

The van had gained the upper hand and was no longer facing the black SUV. Its new target was Nicole's truck and its occupants.

If they rescued those kidnapped girls, their entire operation would be in jeopardy.

The van chased after the truck, firing its rifle once more. Its aim was to overturn the truck and send it tumbling off the cliff.

Nicole stood frozen, her heart pounding in fear. She didn't dare look back, her hands shaking on the steering wheel. The girls in the backseat wailed and screamed, unsure of when the next shot would come.

In the face of death, no one could maintain composure.

Nicole couldn't predict when the van would fire again, so she stepped on the gas and kept going. Stopping would only make them an easier target.

Just as the van was about to fire again, the black SUV accelerated, overtaking the van and intercepting the bullet with its own body.

However, the situation soon worsened. The black SUV had intercepted the bullet, but its back seat caught fire and the flames spread rapidly.

The van was stunned and didn't see him coming.

Unexpectedly, the driver of the black SUV seemed unfazed and pressed its flaming rear end against the van.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" resounded.

The van lost control and rolled down the mountain, engulfed in flames.

As for the black SUV, due to the collision with the van, although the driver managed to brake in time, the rear of the car had fallen over the edge of the cliff, hanging precariously.

At this point, the situation was beyond the driver's control. Even if he did not move any further, the vehicle was likely to plummet due to the momentum and rapid spread of the fire at the rear.

The occupants of the black SUV were apparently facing a grim fate, with no chance of escape.

Nicole had already gone quite a ways. She looked back at the car teetering on the edge of the cliff, feeling uneasy.

Although the immediate threat had passed, he couldn't bear the thought of the person who had just saved them dying in such a manner.

"Squeak!" He slammed on the brakes, got out of the vehicle, and asked the girls in the backseat if any of them knew how to drive.

There were now two options. Someone who knew how to drive could continue to seek help, especially since they had already received assistance. It was likely that more help could be found later. That was almost true.

Another option was to wait here. Considering the risk of the burning vehicle exploding, he couldn't risk getting too close.

More importantly, the danger from their pursuers had not been completely eliminated, and they could be overtaken at any moment. Therefore, sending someone for help seemed like the most reliable option.

At that moment, an older girl raised her hand and said, “I… can drive.”

“Are you sure you can handle it?” Nicole asked.
