Chapter 258 Who is it?
The firelight flickering in Cheng Shuyan's eyes almost engulfed Yunzhi.
She couldn't help but recall her previous life, the moment Cheng Shuyan was engulfed in flames and died in front of her. The panic in her heart was magnified infinitely at this moment. She bit her lip tightly, as if she had a handful of coarse sand in her throat. Every breath made her throat hurt terribly.
Yunzhi could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat. No, the ending in this life would definitely be different. She couldn't bear to watch Cheng Shuyan die in front of her again. She relaxed a little, biting the soft flesh on the side of her cheek. The pain kept her awake. "Shuyan, neither of us will be in any danger."
Unlike her previous life, in this life she is no longer isolated and helpless, at the mercy of Ye Chengyan, with no one to turn to for help.
Yunzhi took out her phone and dialed Yunyun's number.
Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly. Yunzhi knew that although the Yun family's main base was not in China, her parents had actually made a lot of preparations for returning to China. In fact, the Yun Group's power and influence in China was not small, but it had just not been exposed.
Yun's parents also wanted to give her and Yun Yun some challenges, so they wouldn't allow them to take shortcuts unless it was an emergency.
At this moment, Yun Yun had just returned to the villa. He glanced around but didn't see Yun Zhi. He loosened his tie and was about to call Yun Zhi when his phone suddenly rang. Yun Yun raised an eyebrow as he looked at the caller ID. This girl actually knew to report when she went out to play. She's improved.
As soon as the call connected, Yunzhi's panicked and trembling voice came from the other end of the line, "Brother, Cheng Shuyan and I are being followed. We can't determine the other party's purpose. Shuyan and I are on Jingcheng South Road. We're driving a black Bentley with a Beijing A license plate..."
Because in her previous life, Cheng Shuyan died in that deliberately staged car accident in her place. Even though it happened in a previous life, Yunzhi still had a psychological trauma. Moreover, she was certain that the car behind her was up to no good.
Yun Yun's previously languid expression instantly turned serious. His pupils suddenly tightened, and he stood up abruptly, his chest heaving violently. "I'm coming right away, Zhizhi. Your safety is the most important thing."
"Brother, I know." As Yunzhi listened to Yunyun's low, hoarse voice, the unease and panic in her heart gradually dissipated. The ending of this life would definitely be different from the last.
Yunzhi sat up halfway and turned to look at the white Audi that was closing in on them. Just when she thought that the white Audi wouldn't be so arrogant on the main street, it suddenly cut in from the side lane. The metal body of the Audi grazed the Bentley's body, and the two paints made a screeching sound the moment they touched.
Cheng Shuyan's veins bulged on the back of his hand as he quickly turned the steering wheel, the tires screeching against the ground. Yun Zhi's expression changed. Damn it, the person Yu Baisu found this time was much more audacious than the driver in her previous life, daring to veer sideways in front of so many people.
Yunzhi turned her head, trying to see through the privacy film who this audacious driver was. At that moment, she suddenly felt a gaze full of malice, which sent a chill down her spine.
Others seemed to think it was just a minor conflict and didn't take it to heart.
Yun Zhi's heart sank suddenly, "Shuyan..."
"Zhizhi, don't worry, everything will be alright, everything will be alright." Cheng Shuyan didn't forget to comfort Yunzhi at this moment.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, her palms already covered in sweat. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, and even when comforting Yunzhi, he dared not be distracted. His mouth was filled with the taste of rust, his tongue was pressed hard against his back teeth, his fingertips were bluish-white, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and the cold light in his eyes was as chilling as ice in winter.
Cheng Shuyan glanced at the path beside him, licked his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and moved his stiff fingertips. "Zhizhi, sit tight."
As soon as Cheng Shuyan finished speaking, he swerved the steering wheel, and the car almost scraped the wall of the alley. The sharp sound of the car scraping against the wall echoed in the quiet alley. In the darkness, the car's steel body scraped against the rough wall, sending sparks flying. The left rearview mirror was knocked askew.
Yunzhi's body slumped to one side. She gasped, covering her mouth with one hand and gripping the handle above her head tightly with the other. She turned her head and saw a white Audi following closely behind, its engine roaring through the narrow alley.
Yunzhi was almost dizzy from being shaken.
Her heart pounded uncontrollably. The car sped out of the alley like a streak of light and into another street. Because this street wasn't a main street, there were practically only a handful of cars on it. Yunzhi's face darkened. The way the person behind them was chasing them relentlessly made Yunzhi reasonably suspect that he wanted to kill them.
What a madman! Yunzhi turned around and looked behind her. The blinding headlights made it hard for her to open her eyes. Only then did she notice that the white Audi was still accelerating little by little, as if it wouldn't stop until it ran them over.
This made Yunzhi suspect that it wasn't people hired by Yu Baisu, but rather Yu Baisu herself who took action; otherwise, why would someone risk their life to catch up with their car?
The signal was interrupted midway through the process, and Yunzhi issued an alarm.
But they couldn't just sit and wait to die. Yunzhi's eyes lit up when she saw a fork in the road.
"Book and inkstone!"
Although she didn't say much, the unspoken understanding between Cheng Shuyan and Yunzhi made Cheng Shuyan quickly realize what Yunzhi meant. Without saying a word, he suddenly turned into a fork in the road, and then turned left and right, using the terrain to make several turns, and finally successfully shook off the Audi behind him.
Looking behind her, where the white Audi had disappeared from sight, Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Clutching her still pounding heart, she said with lingering fear, "They must have shaken them off."
Cheng Shuyan remained vigilant. "I'm not sure, but we can't let our guard down. Zhizhi, do you have any suspicions about that person?"
“I have a guess that this person is related to Yu Baisu, but this is just my guess. Without evidence, no one knows who sent that person. But Shuyan, the other party’s target should be me. As long as we separate, you will be safe.” Yunzhi said solemnly, then tilted her head and looked at Cheng Shuyan half-jokingly.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuyan, who was usually gentle, spoke harshly to Yunzhi for the first time. "Zhizhi, I would rather the people behind me target me than have anything happen to you. During this time, you will stay with me..." He stopped mid-sentence, thinking of the formidable Yunyun, and changed his tone, "During this time, I will have my brother send you a few more bodyguards to ensure your safety."
