Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Isuzu pickup suddenly rammed into Su Xiaoman, who was crossing the street, sending her flying!
A pickup truck, hitting a person at such a speed, without a doubt, the person hit would either die or be severely crippled!
The scene was shocking and horrifying, enough to make one’s scalp tingle!
There were screams all over the street!
After causing the accident, the pickup truck didn’t slow down; instead, it sped
In the driver’s cab, a man in his twenties, wearing a baseball cap, with a cold look in his eyes, was holding the steering wheel with one hand and using the other to take out his cell phone to dial a number, “Young Master Gao, it’s done.”
At the scene of the accident, the crowd had already gathered.
They were all furious!
The pickup truck had hit a person and flew away. The driver didn’t stop, but instead stepped on the accelerator and left. This was a textbook hit and run, absolutely infuriating!
Public outrage was sparked instantly!
“What are you waiting for? Call 120 and 110 right now!”
“Did anyone get the license plate number of that bloody bastard?”
“It was going too fast; I didn’t see it.” “I think the girl must be dead; the car was going so fast, hit her head-on.”
“Isn’t this just deliberate murder?” “Damn it! Is there no law anymore?”
As for Su Xiaoman at the moment…
She was fine.
Not a scratch on her.
It was strange, being sent flying several meters away by such an impact, but Su Xiaoman was unharmed!
The moment the pickup truck crashed into her, the first thought that popped into Xiaoman’s mind was ‘I’m done for, Little Long, goodbye.’
But now, she didn’t even have a scratch on her body. She was completely fine.
All of a sudden, Su Xiaoman felt a warm current spreading from between her breasts.
She had a red string tied around her neck, and the pendant on the red string was an origami crane made of an amulet, which was given to her by Huang Xiaolong.
Then, Su Xiaoman pulled the red string…
“Huh?” To her surprise, the amulet origami crane hanging from the red string against her chest turned into ashes and disappeared!
“Little Long… I… I understand… It was the amulet origami crane that Little Long gave me that saved my life!” With that said, Xiaoman immediately stood up, scanning the crowd. “Little Long…Little Long…”
Seeing this, all the onlookers were dumbfounded!
“Sister Xiaoman! ” Huang Xiaolong made his way through the crowd.
“Little Long!” Su Xiaoman suddenly burst into tears and rushed forward to hug Huang Xiaolong tightly. “Little Long, I thought… I would never see you again…
sob–sob…”
Su Xiaoman, who had survived the disaster, was crying her heart out.
“Sister Xiaoman, you’re okay.” Huang Xiaolong comforted the somewhat hysterical Su Xiaoman, “It’s a good thing you kept the amulet origami crane that I gave you… otherwise…”
While speaking, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned extremely cold!
He was angry!
Furious and wild!
A terrifying flame of anger, like molten lava, was rolling and boiling in his chest!
A piercing killing intent flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes!
From the way the pickup truck deliberately sped up and aimed at Su Xiaoman, it was obvious this was a premeditated murder!
If it weren’t for that amulet origami crane, Su Xiaoman would have been dead by now.
Huang Xiaolong’s woman was his Achilles’ heel!
He wouldn’t allow anyone to violate or harm his woman!
Absolutely not!
The dragon has a reversed scale, to touch it is to seek death!
“Sister Xiaoman, go home first. Oh yes, go to my house instead.” Huang Xiaolong suppressed a violent killing intent in his heart and smiled at Su Xiaoman.
“Little Long… what about you?” Su Xiaoman was still clutching Huang Xiaolong’s waist, reluctant to let go, fearing that if she did, Huang Xiaolong would disappear.
“Me? Sister Xiaoman, I have something to do. Don’t worry, wait for me at home. I’ll be back soon.” Huang Xiaolong gave his house key to Su Xiaoman, then gently let go of her.
He pushed through the crowd.
Then…
Began to sprint at a violent pace!
Toward the direction where the pickup truck was escaping!
At this moment, Huang Xiaolong had transformed into a bolt of furious lightning!
His speed far exceeded human limits!
During his sprint, Huang Xiaolong’s feet seemed to defy gravity, suspended as he moved at an impossible speed.
Even legendary sprinters, if they were racing against Huang Xiaolong at that moment, would be left in the dust without competition!
“What’s happening? My God! Is he running too fast? Is he a human rocket?” A couple was crossing the street when the man felt a blur in front of his eyes as though someone had just flown past him.
“What are you talking about?” The woman looked puzzled.
“Honey, did you see that, someone…” The man blinked, but he could no longer see Huang Xiaolong. “Huh? Where did he go? Did I just have a hallucination?”
“Gosh, I think… you’ve been working too hard lately, let’s rest early tonight.” The woman blushed.
While running, Huang Xiaolong sensed that something was inappropriate. After all, this was a bustling city, and such a conspicuous sprint through the darkness of the night was too outrageous. If captured by any surveillance cameras, it might lead to unnecessary trouble.
With that in mind, Huang Xiaolong chanted a concealment spell, and his body instantly became as transparent as water, as if he had simply vanished.
After leaving the lychee district, the driver of the Isuzu pickup truck began to slow down.
“Heh, this is what happens to those who cross Young Master Gao.” The driver, wearing a baseball cap and smoking a cigarette, seemed quite pleased with himself. “That woman was pretty. It’s a shame. If Master Gao hadn’t ordered me to kill her, I would’ve really liked to have a little fun with her…”
The driver was not worried about the consequences. In Binhai, Gao Tianxiang was a formidable force with wide-ranging influence, there was no problem he couldn’t take care of.
Killing a slum woman means nothing. A minor issue.
For this ride, he would also get one hundred thousand yuan as a reward from Gao Tianxiang.
Just at this moment, the driver’s phone buzzed with a message notification. He checked it and found that the promised hundred thousand yuan had already been transferred to his bank account.
“Master Gao is really a man of his word. Heh, he sent the money so quickly. It’s so satisfying to work for him.” The driver started to whistle contentedly.
Suddenly!
An extremely dangerous feeling surged up in the driver’s mind!
He had the illusion that someone was chasing his car!
“Surely not?” He glanced at his rearview mirror, there were not even any vehicles following him, let alone any person.
“Damn, I must be too tense.” The driver laughed awkwardly. “I’ll find a massage place later to relax.”
But then, a strange thing happened!
The door of the passenger seat opened by itself!
“Huh?” The driver was so startled that he slammed on the brakes.
Before he could investigate, the passenger door slammed shut on its own.
“Who’s there? Who… who’s there…” Confronted with this eerie occurrence, the driver was covered in goosebumps and his hair stood on end! “Stop the car.” An icy male voice came from the passenger seat.
But… there was no one there!
It was as if the air was speaking!
“Is it… a human… or… a ghost…” The driver was terrified out of his senses. He instinctively pulled the car over, then started trembling uncontrollably. He tried to open the door to escape, but he couldn’t muster any strength. It was as if all his vitality had been drained.
At this moment, the air in the passenger seat rippled like water, and a human form gradually materialized out of thin air.
Huang Xiaolong sat in the passenger seat with a cold, grim expression on his face, watching the driver with shadows in his eyes.
