Chapter 44 A Perilous Escape

In the dead of night, when it was pitch - black and you could barely see your own hand in front of you, the shrill screeching of a sports car's brakes echoed through the darkness. On the winding road, several clear skid marks were visible.

Behind the sports car, three jeeps were desperately clinging to it like bloodhounds. Some people even leaned out of the windows and started shooting.

"Ugh..."

A deafening roar filled Xia Sanghuan's ears. Her body swayed back and forth with the movement of the sports car. A nauseous feeling welled up from her stomach. She felt like throwing up but managed to hold it back. It was as if everything was stuck in her throat.

Aware of the gravity of the situation, she tightly hugged Lingbao, closed her eyes, and gritted her teeth to endure.

The person beside her was spinning the steering wheel.

The car took a sharp turn at high speed on a rough bend!

The green mountains outside the window suddenly shifted. Xia Sanghuan lost her balance and slammed her head hard against the glass.

"Ouch..." The stabbing pain was really unbearable.

Leng Chuanjin glanced at her briefly.

He pressed the communicator on his hand. "Yun Ye, bring your men here immediately."

Meanwhile, in the jeeps, Leng Qiuhua's angry curses came through the walkie - talkie.

"Mr. Leng, they have reinforcements. We're afraid we won't be able to catch up..." the bodyguard stammered.

Looking ahead, they saw that the driver of the black car had excellent driving skills and had managed to dodge their hot weapons several times.

This was a desolate mountain road with many twists and turns. They hadn't made any prior preparations, so they had no full - proof plan to catch up with them.

"You useless idiots! No matter the cost, you must catch up with them and retrieve Lingbao!"

"Mr. Leng, but..."

"Don't worry about anything. I'll handle the rest."

Leng Qiuhua's voice was gloomy. "If you can't catch up, use other means. Bring Lingbao back, but the people..."

"Must die!"

The bodyguards quickly agreed.

Inside the factory, Leng Qiuhua's eyebrows were knitted in a scowl.

He grabbed the keys on the table and strode out.

The cars behind were speeding up. Xia Sanghuan could clearly feel the roar of the radars.

She glanced back slightly. The bright headlights of the jeeps behind pierced through the glass and shone directly at them.

The car made a turn, and Xia Sanghuan lost her balance and almost fell to one side.

"Be careful!" Leng Chuanjin quickly reached out and held her.

His eyes became much fiercer, and he didn't forget to instruct her, "Hide under the seat and protect yourself."

Xia Sanghuan quickly did as he said.

Her heart was pounding wildly. She couldn't help but worry about Leng Chuanjin's situation.

The people behind were chasing them like crazy. Under the moonlight, only the dazzling car lights were swirling in the mountains.

"Leng Chuanjin, you should also be careful."

Xia Sanghuan tried hard to calm herself down, but her temples kept throbbing.

She couldn't help but swallow nervously.

The mountain road was full of twists and turns. It seemed like there were lights flickering in front of her eyes, and all the surrounding things were distorted.

Another precise drift. Xia Sanghuan felt like her soul had left her body. She saw stars in front of her eyes, and her adrenaline shot up like a rocket straight to her head!

Xia Sanghuan could only hold on to the handle to barely keep her balance during this crazy drift.

Driving like this crazily in the mountains, she felt that she might die the next second.

The curses of the bodyguards still echoed behind them, and the cars didn't stop. She couldn't help but take a peek at Leng Chuanjin.

Even on this winding mountain road, this man was as reliable as ever. He held the steering wheel steadily and made precise drifts on the bends.

The road ahead seemed endless, and she didn't know when they would reach the end.

Xia Sanghuan gently tightened the corner of her clothes, thinking that it wasn't a good idea to keep being chased like this.

She had to find something to interfere with the cars behind.

At the same time, the car's wheels hit a rather large stone, and the car suddenly veered to the right out of control.

Xia Sanghuan was thrown out at this moment.

Her upper body leaned backward, and her eyes were in a mess. Suddenly, she saw a flash of silver in the trunk.

She grabbed the handlebar beside her to balance herself. In the bumpy space, she could see clearly.

In the trunk, there were actually several buckets of car - washing paint!

"Sit still." Leng Chuanjin's eyes were blood - shot at the corners. He tried his best to steady the car.

The car was now on a steep road only three meters wide, with the rough mountainside on the right.

It was a heart - stopping situation. Even the bottom of the car was almost separated from the ground.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Sanghuan tried to calm her pounding heart. Suddenly, a great idea popped into her head.

She looked at Leng Chuanjin and the jeeps closely chasing behind, and then made up her mind.

Hearing the sound of the person beside him unbuckling the seatbelt, Leng Chuanjin frowned and looked over. "Sit down quickly!"

The interior of the car was bumpy. Xia Sanghuan gritted her teeth and rolled over to the back seat through the narrow gap between the two seats.

The radar sounds around her were so loud that they could almost pierce her eardrums.

She bumped into the car floor. Enduring the sharp pain in her arm, she even felt a bit nauseous while rolling over.

"Xia Sanghuan, go back quickly!" Leng Chuanjin was operating the car quickly with his hands, and his voice was full of anxiety.

"You focus on driving. I can do it!" Without hesitation, Xia Sanghuan found the paint buckets and rummaged through her pocket to take out a cold object.

The car was tripped by a stone again.

The whole space suddenly jumped up, and Xia Sanghuan hit the side glass.

She gritted her teeth and endured.

Splash!

"Stop the car quickly!" The people in the jeeps roared.

They could clearly see that several iron buckets were suddenly thrown out of the black car in front.

Then, the mountain road in front was gradually stained with black paint.

The jeeps in front didn't have time to stop. Their wheels were already stuck by the paint. No matter how they fired, the cars didn't move an inch!

This undoubtedly cut off their pursuit route!

"What the hell is this!" The driver in the jeep angrily slapped the steering wheel and cursed.

They could only watch helplessly as the black car in front drove further and further away...

In the black car, Leng Chuanjin's slender fingers gently tapped on the steering wheel.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Sanghuan, saying slowly, "Not bad. You knew how to use paint to block their way."

Xia Sanghuan was sitting steadily in the passenger seat at this time.

If it weren't for the cold sweat on her cheeks, probably no one would have thought that this car had just been through a fierce battle.

Xia Sanghuan snorted proudly. "Just paint alone can't stick their wheels."

She took out the empty test tube and shook it. "I mixed the catalyst with the paint, and that's how I blocked their way."

Before Leng Chuanjin could say anything, Xia Sanghuan automatically started to give a science lecture. "The catalyst contains resin. When mixed with the components in the paint, it can make the surface of the object painted more slippery.

"However, the surface of the wheels is rough. If they forcefully drive over the slippery surface where the paint hasn't dried yet, they will naturally get stuck."

After saying that, Xia Sanghuan slowly smiled and blinked. "So, what do you think? Do you think I have the ability to cure your younger brother's illness now?"

Leng Chuanjin slightly raised his eyebrows.

He turned his gaze back to the road ahead, with a faint smile in his eyes that was hard to notice.

"That depends on your performance."
