Her hands were extremely cold, but her eyes were unusually moist.
The moment she saw the message Xia Liang sent her, she couldn't help but wonder what expression that little girl who always followed her around would have at this moment.
She remembered how she felt when her most important mother passed away when she was young.
And Xia Liang was probably feeling the same way she did back then.
Scared, panicked, and lost.
All she wanted now was to find Xia Liang and stay by her side.
Over the years of their master - apprentice and companion relationship, she had already regarded that noisy little girl as her family.
Lu Jinsheng didn't know what to say. He put his arm around her waist and carefully pulled her into his embrace.
"Bang!"
At that moment, the car body was violently hit.
Somehow, several cars had surrounded theirs.
The car behind them continued to ram into theirs forcefully.
This was a suburban road with no cameras and few passing vehicles.
Shen Jianyi's car was continuously hit by those malicious vehicles.
"Mr. Lu, what should we do now?!"
He Yu's face was full of anxiety as he looked back at Lu Jinsheng from time to time.
Lu Jinsheng's face darkened. Shen Jianyi sat up from his embrace, turned back, and looked coldly at the cars behind them with her sharp eyes.
There were two men in black suits in the car.
Two cars were also surrounding them on each side, and the men inside were dressed the same way, obviously in cahoots.
Shen Jianyi bit her lip and was about to say something to Lu Jinsheng when the car was rammed forcefully to one side. The car started to jolt violently, and Shen Jianyi felt dizzy inside.
The car rolled down the hillside and finally landed on a flat ground.
Shen Jianyi was still strapped in by the seat - belt. Lu Jinsheng had a cut on his forehead from the impact, and a trickle of blood was running down.
He Yu in the front seat had already passed out.
She tried to push the car seat that was pressing on her body and tugged at the seat - belt, but she couldn't move.
"Damn it."
She frowned angrily, exuding a fierce aura.
She could only take out the dagger that had accompanied her for many years from her wrist and tried to cut the seat - belt with it.
At the same time, she prayed that those sudden black - clothed men would be like last time and not come over to check if she was dead.
But obviously, this time, those black - clothed men really wanted to see her dead.
The sound of the cars was getting closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps approaching them.
"Yiyi, don't be afraid."
Lu Jinsheng's voice came from beside her ear. He reached out his hand, took the dagger from her hand. Instead of trying to free himself immediately, he cut her seat - belt forcefully and then tried hard to push away the car seat that was pressing on her body.
"Lu Jinsheng?"
Realizing something was wrong, Shen Jianyi called his name.
"Yeah."
Lu Jinsheng replied calmly as usual.
But Shen Jianyi still noticed something was off. Her hand reached down and felt something warm.
She widened her eyes and shifted her gaze down a bit.
The back seat of the car had moved backward a lot at some point and was pressing tightly on Lu Jinsheng's left leg. A wire had embedded itself into his leg, and blood was constantly flowing out of the wound.
That was the seat she had been sitting in originally, but at the moment the car flipped over.
She had been pushed away by Lu Jinsheng.
Lu Jinsheng had taken the pain for her.
"I can't move now."
Lu Jinsheng knew she had seen it and smiled helplessly. There was no trace of panic in his eyes. "Yiyi, can you handle those people?"
Shen Jianyi pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word. She just held his hand tightly.
"I'm not going to die."
He said hoarsely, his tone a bit helpless and annoyed. "It's just that you may have to work a bit harder."
Shen Jianyi's mind was in a mess. She snatched the dagger from his hand, and there was a terrifying killing intent in her eyes.
At that very moment.
The car window glass beside her made a crisp sound.
The high - quality windshield was instantly covered with cracks. A sledgehammer brushed past her ear and embedded itself in the windshield.
The people outside were trying to break the windshield to open the window and check if they were dead.
"Why is there no sound?"
A hoarse male voice came from outside.
Then, a face appeared outside the glass.
At this critical moment, the originally closed car door was suddenly pushed open forcefully and hit the man in the face.
"Damn it, they're not dead!"
The man covered his wound and cursed loudly.
A woman could be seen quickly rolling out of the car.
She stood in the moonlight, and the cold moonlight cast a long shadow of her. She held a dagger in her hand, and the small sandalwood beads on her wrist were stained with a little blood. The blood trickled down her wrist and onto the ground.
Her face was filled with a cold killing aura. Looking at the eight tall and strong men in front of her, a strange smile appeared on her red lips.
"This little bitch is quite arrogant."
The big man who had been hit by the car door and was bleeding from his nose cursed angrily and looked at Shen Jianyi with ill intent. "She's really good - looking. This job is worth it, brothers. Besides getting paid, we can also have some fun."
The other big men also laughed obscenely, and their malicious eyes roamed over her graceful body in the evening dress.
"A life worth 50 million. This little bitch is really valuable."
"Who sent you?"
Shen Jianyi's voice was like that of a Shura ghost from hell.
"You don't need to ask about that. You're on the verge of death. You'd better hope to be born into a good family in your next life. Stop provoking people you shouldn't and meddling in things you shouldn't."
One of the big men said arrogantly.
Before his voice faded, a dagger flew straight into his knee.
The big man felt a sharp pain in his knee and involuntarily knelt on the ground, letting out a shrill howl.
"Damn it, kill this bitch!"
The big man with a bleeding nose cursed.
The other big men immediately moved and surrounded Shen Jianyi.
"You're seeking death."
She wiped the blood from her cheek with the back of her hand, and her eyes were so cold that she seemed not of this world.
Lu Jinsheng sat quietly in the car. He tried hard to push the iron piece embedded in his knee, but it was too heavy. He could only feel the sharp pain of the iron piece rubbing against his knee joint and couldn't move it at all.
Outside, there came the sound of a fierce fight.
He didn't hear Shen Jianyi's voice, and the more he didn't hear it, the more panicked he became.
He fixed his gaze on the sledgehammer embedded in the car window glass.
His eyes dimmed, as if he was thinking about something, but soon, he took action.
He stretched out his hand with difficulty, punched through the already cracked glass, and the sledgehammer fell. He groped around and picked up the sledgehammer that had fallen inside the car.
