Chapter 499 going with them
Unexpected Second Chance at Love
As everyone proceed to get to Yue Lingâs location, her white Audi r8 is seen speeding through the streets of Imperial. Even with the cars almost hitting them and horns honking, she does not stop, but dodge every hit.
Her eyes scans ahead to see a safe turn so she can try to outdistance the car behind.
Seeing a clear turn, she did not hesitate to sharply turn the car with the help of the handbrake. A loud screeching sound generated from her tires as faint smoke floating in the air.
Just as the car made the sharp turn, her eyes didnât forget to check the rearview mirror.
The turn was so sudden that her pursuers were not able to make the same turn.
However, she doesnât slow down, but floors the gas pedal and increases the speed again.
In the passenger seat, Zhao YaâEr could barely comprehend with how she is feeling at this moment.
She wanted to pass out from Yue Lingâs crazy driving, but at the same time, she didnât know why but she couldnât.
Gasping for air, she could only close her eyes to calm herself from wanting to vomit.
*Ring ring
Suddenly the dash screen rings inside the car with the words âLiu Shan, the greatâ.
Not wanting to scare Zhao YaâEr any more than she already is, Yue Ling reach inside the center console and takes out an earpiece.
Putting it on while keeping her eyes on the road ahead, she connects the call.
"Did you get my coordinates?"
["I did. Weâre not too far behind. Where are you heading right now?"]
From the other line, Liu Shanâs voice can faintly be heard but only enough for Yue Ling to hear.
Yue Ling glance to their surrounding to see where they are but realize that they had left the busy city and were headed in the direction of the mountains.
"Mountains."
"Oh God. They caught up to us."
Just as she spoke her word, Zhao YaâEr gasp in horror as she sees the same car suddenly appear behind them again.
Hearing her words, Yue Ling glance at the rearview mirror before focusing back on the road. She could have given the license plate number to Liu Shan, but the car behind didnât have one.
"Can you make out who they are?"
["Xu Long is working on it."]
Liu Shanâs voice sounds through as he focused on getting to his boss locations, while in the passenger seat, Xu Long is hacking every CCTV to find a good image of the people inside unknown car.
It didnât take long before Xu Long was able to find a good image. He pause the image and zooms in on the image before scanning each personâs face.
A list of information appears on his laptop screen in full detail of the two men.
"Theyâre from Black Dragon."
He had spoken loud enough that Yue Ling was able to hear his words.
A faint scoff sound from her. Seems like Chu Li Xiangâs men are out hunting for more victims.
Thinking of something, she increases the speed as the car zooms up the mountain. Just as she did this, another caller rings through and Xu Long quickly connects the call through.
"Yue Ling? Are you alright?"
It was Lu Tian.
The aloof man is also speeding through the busy streets of Imperial as he rushes to get to his wifeâs location.
After leaving Lu Corps, he did not waste any time. Even the numbers of red lights he ran and car accidents he almost caused cannot be counted on two hands.
However, because Yue Ling was driving further and further away, he was still behind by miles.
In the distance away from the man, Yue Ling faintly smile when she heard his deep voice.
How she wish to see him at this moment.
"Iâm alright, but I have Zhao YaâEr with me."
From the driver seat, when Zhao YaâEr heard her cousinâs faint voice, she burst into tears.
"Cousin! Help us!"
Her cries of pleading continues as she was truly terrified. She is an innocent person who has never been in a situation like this.
"I donât want to die. I havenât married and I havenât had the chance to confess my love."
She wailed her words, but because of her panic state, no one was able to understand her words.
Yue Ling continues to drive the car, making sharp curves as she drifts up the mountain until they finally come to the top.
She slows the car down and parks it on the side. Glancing at the rearview mirror, she can tell that the car wasnât able to catch, but it would reach them soon.
Ignoring the people connected on the phone, she turns to look at Zhao YaâEr.
"Theyâll be here soon, but I need you to remain calm. Donât scream. Donât cry."
Hearing her words, Zhao YaâEr abruptly stops crying. However, she could not stop her tears from pouring out of the eyes.
"W-Why? We... Are we going to..."
She was unable to continue her words when she saw the look in Yue Lingâs eyes. Only nodding her head, she tries to calm herself down.
Since the incident started, Yue Ling had been calm. Everything will be fine. People already know what is happening and they will be safe soon.
Seeing the woman finally calming down, Yue Ling faintly smiles. Stretching her arm towards the woman, she held onto her (Zhao YaâEr) hand.
"Listen carefully to me. I need you to stay focus and listen to what Iâm going to say."
Taking a deep breath, she smiles reassuringly to her friend.
"Liu Shan and Xu Long should be near the foot of the mountain. Drive the car down to meet them."
Reaching for the door handle, she steps out of the car and she pulls the latch to the trunk open. Looking back at Zhao YaâEr, she smiles again.
"When I give signal. Go. Do not stop."
["Yue Ling, you better not do it."]
From the earpiece, Lu Tianâs worried voice sounds in with a tinge of rage. He could already guess what she is planning to do, and it is something he doesnât wish to happen.
Walking over to the trunk of the car, she lifts it up and stares down inside.
"Tian, Iâm sorry, but I have to do this."
Reaching inside the trunk, she takes out a harness and strap it to her calve as she attach a knife. Next, she picks up a pistol she had hid on the side and rack the slide before putting it inside her coat pocket.
Taking out another one, she did the same as the first one.
Just as she did this, the sound of an engine nears her location.
Calmly turning her head, it was none other than the same car that had been following them.
["Yue Ling."]
Lu Tianâs voice calls out to her from the earpiece, but she ignores him. Seeing the car slow to a stop, she pretends to not notice them and walks back to the door of the car.
Inside, Zhao YaâEr had not moved from the passenger seat to the driver seat. She looks up at Yue Ling with a dreadful expression.
"I-I canât leave you. I canât do this to you."
Yue Ling gives her a sweet smile like they were not in a dangerous situation at all.
"YaâEr, I will be fine. So I need you to do this."
Her words fell and she could hear the sound of car doors opening before closing. She ignores it and keeps her eyes on Zhao YaâEr as she calculate the steps of the other people.
Tears pour down Zhao YaâErâs cheeks as she force her trembling body to cross over to the driver seat.
Once she was sitting on the driver seat, Yue Ling sighs a smile. From the footsteps, she can tell that the two men were halfway near her car.
Taking two steps back, she closes the door and mouth the word âgoâ without a sound.
Zhao YaâEr held a reluctant feeling inside her, but she did as she was told and hits the pedal.
As the white Audi r8 sped away, the two men were taken back by surprise and quickly takes out their guns.
["Yue Ling! Donât!"]
Lu Tianâs voice raised loudly through the earpiece as Yue Ling takes the two pistols out and points them at the two men.
She kept a calm expression without showing any signs of fear. Her bluish green eyes looks at one person then to the next.
"Tian, Iâll be going with them."
Her words fell before the connection disconnects, letting her know that Zhao YaâEr was in a good distance away from them.
"Fuck!!"
Lu Tian curse in anger as he hits the steering wheel. His eyes burned with rage and he increase the speed.
If only he had forbidden her from leaving the house, she wouldnât have to risk her life like this.
Quickly typing a number on his dash screen, the line quickly connects to someone, or should we say, some people.
"Wolf Team. Unauthorize Black Operation."
