Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 438 - 441 - Life Hanging by a Thread 5_1

One of the subordinates was studying the map of the entire city and its vicinity when he suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "Manager Nan, there’s a steep slope on Yuyang Road. If there’s a problem with the brakes, wouldn’t the slope pose a problem..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Nan Baihao quickly attempted to call Gu Shaocheng. After two unsuccessful attempts, he swore under his breath. There was no service. Could there be no signal?

Nan Baihao became increasingly uneasy. He turned away from the surveillance room and strode toward the parking lot.

As he walked, he dispatched some of his men to help his elder brother.

"Third Brother, I’m coming with you," Hua Hua rushed to catch up with him.

Nan Baihao: "Stay here. Have C to continue to monitor through the cameras. If there’s any new development, call me immediately."

Hua Hua thought for a moment and realized it made sense. "Then be careful on the road."

Nan Baihao hummed in response, striding away with unease in his heart. His brother was driving a tampered car.

........................

Bright lights, not one but three, were directed at their car.

Gu Shaocheng slammed on the brakes, causing Chenxing to lurch forward. Luckily, Shaocheng had quick reflexes and caught her just in time to prevent her from hitting the windshield.

"What’s going on?" Chenxing’s heart sank.

Squinting, Gu Shaocheng stared at the fifteen cars that had suddenly appeared in front of them. He let out a cold laugh: "Nothing, some people just want to pick a fight."

A chilling aura radiated off him instantly, causing even Chenxing to shiver.

"Chenxing, are you hurt?" He braked abruptly, noticing something off with the brakes. However, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

"I’m fine." Chenxing quickly repositioned herself and fastened her seat belt.

The roar of engines was deafening. Fifteen motorbikes were parked ominously in front of them, men on each of them wielding steel rods. Gu Shaocheng’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, the tense atmosphere causing Chenxing to shiver all over.

"Shaocheng, what do they want to do?"

"Chenxing, duck down!" Instead of answering her, Gu Shaocheng issued a stern command. Chenxing quickly unfastened her seatbelt and hunched down in the small space in front of her seat.

Unable to see what was happening outside, she saw the bloodthirsty glint in Shaocheng’s eyes, his whole body seemingly cloaked in a chilling aura even under the strong light.

The naturally emanating danger was positively horrifying. Was this really the same man who had been tenderly pampering her just a moment ago?

"Don’t be afraid, Chenxing, I won’t let anything happen to you."

He aggressively started the car. At the same time, those men on the motorcycles revved their engines and started moving towards them. The rods held high in their hands made their intention clear – they planned to smash the car!

Gu Shaocheng didn’t have time to consider this could be a premeditated trap!

Right now, his full attention was on the motorcycles zooming towards him. He manoeuvred the steering wheel rapidly to reverse, then swiftly made a u-turn and pressed the accelerator hard!

His modified car could easily outrun those remodeled bikes!

An icy calm settled over him at this moment, the trace of a cold smile on his lips.

Was he being forced onto this track? He had a vague sense of the danger, but now he had no choice. What awaited them on this road?
