The driver"s forehead was already full of sweat. His hands were holding the steering wheel tightly. Blue veins stood out on the back of his hands, his fingers had been drained of all color, and his body was very tense.
"Big Master, this road... this road is covered in oil. I can"t control the direction of the car."
It was evening, so it was already dark. If one didn"t look carefully, one couldn"t really tell the difference on the road. Murong Ye fixed his eyes on the road. Under the illumination of the front lights, he saw something dark on the ground.
Murong Ye"s eyes became gloomier. Someone had to be plotting against them. It was dark and this mountain road was dangerous. This person was bold indeed.
Murong Ye was just thinking, when a loud bang was heard behind his car.
They turned, only to discover that Second"s car had b.u.mped against the mountain rock.
They must suddenly have seen the oil on the road but failed to control the car and let it crash. Fortunately, they had hit the rock instead of rushing into the valley.
However, things didn"t seem so simple. Their car began to slide backwards and Murong Ye hastened to pick up the wireless intercom in the car.
"Second, control the car and slowly reverse backwards. You just entered the oil pollution area. It is still easy for you to go out now. You should stop in a safe place and help us."
"Okay, Big Master." Second"s voice did not sound fl.u.s.tered in the speakerphone. He had indeed become a calm person after following Murong Ye for so long.
Murong Ye turned to look at the driver and then checked the road"s condition. "Come on. Change seats with me and let me drive."
The driver did not hesitate. He held his hands on the steering wheel while keeping an eye on the road. Then, he gently moved his legs and moved to the pa.s.senger seat.
Murong Ye"s movements were much more agile than the driver"s. He jumped into the driver"s seat like an active leopard.
As they switched seats, the car wobbled even more, running in zigzags on the road. Second and the others in the car behind them were frightened as they watched the scene.
Finally, the car balanced and Murong Ye stopped it at the edge of the mountain. After all, only the edge of the mountain was not covered in oil.
Then, the car began to tilt to one side gradually, the tires on one side hanging in the air.
Hanging in the air? There was nothing wrong with this description. The car moved as if it was performing acrobatics at the moment. One side of the wheels was hanging outside the mountain, and only one side of the wheels ran on the road.
Murong Ye held his breath and drove slowly. The car ran steadily all the way up to the mountain.
Murong Yunxi held Niannian tightly while Gong Yu hugged the two of them tightly. Although they believed in Murong Ye"s driving skills, no one could make sure that there would be no more accidents.
After about five minutes of driving, Murong Ye finally drove up to the gate. When the car arrived, the gate opened directly. Murong Ye could only stop the car steadily after entering the gate.
"Gong Yu, you can drive them in. I"ll go back and check on the others."
Gong Yu took a look at Murong Yunxi and then looked at the road ahead. After thinking for a while, he said, "Would you like me to go with you?"
Murong Ye looked at Murong Yunxi hesitantly.
Murong Yunxi took the initiative to say, "Gong Yu, you should go with my brother and check on them. We have entered the mansion, so I can drive in with Niannian. It"s not far, I can do it on my own. I will be less worried if you stay with my brother. It"s really dark outside, and the road is still covered in oil."
Gong Yu nodded and got out of the car. He didn"t let Murong Ye think for too long, as he thought there would be no danger at all in the mansion.
Murong Ye and Gong Yu walked out of the gate while Murong Yunxi moved to the driver"s seat. The car had just been mobile for about five minutes, when two people suddenly appeared in front of it. They just stood in the middle of the road and blocked the way ahead.
Murong Yunxi frowned slightly and looked at the two men. Their faces were unfamiliar and they seemed to be dressed like bodyguards.
Murong Yunxi turned slightly toward the backseat and said, "Niannian, Mommy will go out to see what"s going on. You must hide in the car. If these men fight with Mommy, you need to call grandpa on Mommy"s cell phone and ask him to save mommy. Do not get out of the car."
There was an obvious tremor in Niannian"s voice as she asked, "Mommy, are they bad people? Will they hurt you?"
Murong Yunxi"s voice was full of tenderness. She wanted to console Niannian, so she couldn"t be timid. "Niannian, don"t be afraid. You"re brave, right? You are brave enough to protect Mommy! Mommy needs you, so you have to be strong and brave. If Mommy is in danger, you need to find grandpa and help mommy, so don"t be afraid."
When Murong Yunxi finished these words, she quietly gave the cell phone to Niannian.
Murong Yunxi got out of the car and walked over to the men. She stood three meters away from them and said, "What do you want?"
The two of them shot a look at each other before one of them walked forward and tried to grab Murong Yunxi"s shoulder.
Murong Yunxi immediately bent and turned around, escaping from the man. Suddenly, she had a wooden stick in her hand that she had been hiding behind her. She beat the man with the stick immediately. The trace of the stick was very strange. When the man saw the wooden stick coming at him, he moved to the side to avoid it but ended up b.u.mping his head on the stick. The stick hit him hard and made him stagger and fall to the ground.
Another man saw this and rushed over. Murong Yunxi"s stick turned to hit him. The man was about to grab Murong Yunxi"s stick, which seemed like no threat to him. However, he did not realize that, before he could even touch the stick, he had shown his weak spot. When Murong Yunxi hit the man under the armpit, his whole arm was dislocated by the stick in an instant.
The man on the ground stood up and rushed over. Although Murong Yunxi"s stick had hit them in an odd way, her strength was too light compared to these men, who had been trained before. Her two hits had hurt, but they had not caused any fatal injuries on them.
When the man rushed towards her, Murong Yunxi stabbed him again with the stick. The stick seemed to stab him in the stomach. The man took a deep breath and tried to bounce the stick away, but to his surprise, the stick stabbed his reproductive organ instead. This time, the pain rendered him unable to stand straight. He actually wondered whether he would be disabled from then on.
The other man held his dislocated arm. Since he couldn"t use his arms any more, he could only use his legs. Fortunately, he could still kick and run.
He used a turning kick agaisnt Murong Yunxi, who waved her stick. From this angle, Murong Yunxi"s stick couldn"t hit the man. Thus, he tried his best to kick Murong Yunxi. Unfortunately, before his foot could kick Murong Yunxi in the chest, the wooden stick hit his knee. A bone-cracking noise was heard before the man fell to the ground in great pain. With one broken leg and one dislocated arm, he couldn"t even stand up, let alone fight. He could only lie on the ground and cry.
"Xiao Xi."
An anxious voice came from behind. Morong Yunxi turned around and saw Gong Yu and Morong Ye, who were followed by Second and the others.
As several people approached, Gong Yu ran forward and put his hands on Murong Yunxi"s shoulders, scanning Murong Yunxi from head to toe. "Xiao Xi, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
Murong Yunxi shook her head. "I"m fine."
Gong Yu still carefully checked on Murong Yunxi doubtfully. Murong Ye pulled one man up and stared at him. "Who are you?"
There was a flicker of fear in the man"s eyes. He hardly had the courage to look at the expression on Murong Ye"s face right now. It was more than scary.
Second approached the other man and squatted down to look at him.
Then, the help Niannian had called also arrived. Murong Qingtian rushed over with a group of people. After seeing the scene, he thought that Murong Ye and Gong Yu had arrived there in time and beat the two men. He immediately felt relieved.
"Xiao Ye, Gong Yu, thank G.o.d you arrived in time." Then, he looked at Murong Yunxi and asked, "Xiaoxi, are you alright? Are you hurt? Are you scared?"
Murong Ye and Gong Yu were stunned as they all turned to look at Murong Yunxi.
Murong Yunxi smiled blandly. "I"m fine, I"m not hurt. Fortunately, my brother and Gong Yu arrived in time."
Murong Ye and the others were startled by Murong Yunxi"s words, but they were smart enough to keep their mouths shut.
Murong Ye stood up and told Second in a cold voice, "Second and Third, you should deal with these two men."
As soon as Second received the order, he pulled the man up. His movement was so fierce that it made the man groan in pain.
Third also approached and pulled the other man up. Then, he dragged the man away along with Second.
Gong Yu held Murong Yunxi in one arm and looked at her with concern. Murong Yunxi pretended to be frightened and threw herself into Gong Yu"s embrace. Gong Yu cooperated with her and comforted her in a low voice while patting her on the back.
Murong Qingtian walked to the car, opened the door and found Niannian shrinking on the floor. She was holding her knees with both hands while she buried her head between her knees.
Niannian was clearly too frightened to look outside. When she looked up and saw Murong Qingtian, she cried out loudly. Murong Qingtian hugged Niannian in his arms. He felt so sorry for the kid.
Murong Yunxi watched the situation over Gong Yu"s shoulder and saw Niannian crying like a pitiful girl. Her heart hurt, and her eyes grew gloomier. Niannian was her everything.
Murong Ye"s body turned cold and icy. His eyes were bloodthirsty and ruthless as he scanned the people around. Then, his eyes were fixed on one person.
