Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Murderous Intent on the Bridge (5th Update)

”Ah!”

A scream suddenly pierced the air as the car swerved sharply, causing Bai Zhiqing, unprepared, to uncontrollably fall onto Xu Tianxing.

”Damn, is this girl trying to play me to death!”

Lu Tianxing shuddered, wishing he could grab Bai Zhiqing and give her a severe beating. Although it felt thrilling, timing was everything. Normally, he wouldn’t mind if Bai Zhiqing did this, even a bit more intimate contact wouldn’t matter, but at a critical moment like this, a slight distraction could mean a wrecked car and lost lives. Now this wasn’t thrilling—it was deadly.

Bai Zhiqing was completely dumbfounded and froze. This was the second time she’d had close—very close—contact with Lu Tianxing’s ’little brother’. The first time was with her hand, but this time it was directly with her—mouth—.

Trembling, Bai Zhiqing tried to stand up. A powerful aura hit her face, making her body suddenly feel hot. Her cheeks turned bright red, and she hurriedly scrambled up, daring not to look at Lu Tianxing again.

Meanwhile, a sleek black modified car followed closely behind, zooming up the bridge after the Porsche.

”Not good, it’s a trap.”

However, no sooner had he sped onto the bridge than the foreign man’s face paled, as he heard the sound of a helicopter. On this bridge over the river, surrounded by water, with no other vehicles or people in sight, his car was now nothing but a moving target.

He slammed on the brakes, the tires screeched against the pavement leaving a dark streak, and the foreign man in the black modified car quickly shifted gears and flung the steering wheel, preparing to reverse and escape.

”Now that you’re here, why the rush to leave? Won’t you sit down for a cup of tea? Otherwise, when you reach Yama Palace, you might complain that I, your host, didn’t provide good hospitality. Wouldn’t you agree?”

Just as the foreign man was about to reverse, a gentle voice rang out inside the car.

”Who.”

The foreign man’s expression changed drastically, as he suddenly turned his head, his pupils dilating.

Unbeknownst to him, a handsome man in a suit had appeared in the empty passenger seat, his face wearing a light smile, as if chatting with an old friend. A small knife in his hand flitted between his fingers, like a fish flashing through the water with cold gleams.

”Die.”

The foreign man, not a regular person by any means, reached into his coat and pulled out a dagger that glistened coldly, stabbing lightning-fast toward the passenger seat.

”Sss!”

The dagger plunged into the man, nailing him to the seat.

”Less talk next time.”

The man gave a fierce smile, but before he could relish his triumph, the figure in the passenger seat burst like a bubble with a ’pop’, leaving only the car door, which slammed shut in the gale.

”Who in the world is it? Could the rumors in the Underworld be true, that someone is secretly protecting Bai Zhiqing?”

The foreign man’s face revealed a flash of fear, never expecting that his confident strike would be dodged.

”Impressive reflexes. It seems you are not some unknown figure internationally, but I don’t care about that. What concerns me is that after today, you might likely become a part of Modu police’s badge of honor because they will tell the media that it was they who killed you, an international mercenary.”

A cold, eerie voice resounded in the foreign man’s ear, sounding like a chilling wind blown from the Nine Nether Purgatory, rendering his face colorless as he violently trembled, filled with fear.

”You... who exactly are you...”

The man laboriously spat out a few words, his voice laden with intense fear. His mouth opened as if to say something more, but no sound came out; only a gurgling noise as blood streamed from the corner of his mouth, dead with eyes wide open.

In the sunlight, a blood-red invitation deeply embedded in the foreign man’s throat stood out piercingly against his blood-stained neck.

”Boom!”

The roar of an engine. The black modified car that everyone thought was about to reverse and escape suddenly accelerated, crazily rushing towards the edge of the cross-river bridge, breaking through the guardrail, and plunging straight into the river.

On the cross-river bridge, Lu Tianxing, catching a glimpse of fleeting blade light and the car spiraling out of control down from the bridge in the rear-view mirror, a cold smile appeared on his lips. Many had been after him, but all had repented in Hell.

With no one pursuing them, Lu Tianxing slowly stopped the Porsche on the cross-river bridge.

As soon as the car steadied, Bai Zhiqing could not wait any longer, flung open the car door, and ran out, feeling a churning in her stomach. She leaned over the bridge and started retching loudly, but nothing came out.

Bai Zhiqing’s face was terrifyingly pale, a dizzying whirlwind overwhelming her senses, her body feeling light and airy as if stepping on cotton. Bai Zhiqing even thought she might be dying—why else would she feel so powerless, with the world spinning around and her head in chaos.

Lu Tianxing got out of the car, walked over to Bai Zhiqing, and gently patted her back, transmitting a stream of True Qi from his palm into her body to help alleviate the aftereffects of motion sickness.

”Honey, you’re the driver, how can you get carsick? It was just a bit speedy, what’s the big deal? You ride planes and bullet trains, aren’t they much faster? Yet you don’t get airsick or trainsick.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing’s pale face, speechless.

If it weren’t for being on a city road with too many unpredictable factors, necessitating constant vigilance of the surroundings, he could have driven even faster—this speed was barely warming up.

”That’s nonsense. Have you ever seen a plane constantly turning mid-air for fun? You jerk, who asked you to drive so fast? You’re trying to kill us, don’t you understand, ugh...”

Bai Zhiqing raised her head and glared fiercely at Lu Tianxing, then leaned over the bridge again to retch. This guy was insanely powerful, yet they were chased like dogs everywhere they went—it must be his excuse to race.

”Honey, although being unreasonable is a woman’s prerogative, you don’t have to go this far! Remember, I just saved your life. If it wasn’t for me, your head would have exploded like a smashed watermelon.”

”Also, you think others are as foolish as you! Assassins, except for a few solitary ones, always collaborate with comrades in arms. Do you think our car could withstand their bullets if we hadn’t escaped just now?”

”You... it’s all your fault anyway. Couldn’t you drive slower? Do you understand that even a slight error just now would have killed us without needing an assassin? I’m revoking your driving privileges; from now on, you are not allowed to drive.” Unable to deny Lu Tianxing’s logic but unwilling to let him look down upon her, Bai Zhiqing defiantly spoke with furrowed brows.
