"Hey... "

"Hm?"

"Hold on tight."

"You pervert, at a time like this, you're still thinking about these nonsensical things. I'm going to tell Sister Fei about you, so she can stay away from a scumbag like you."

"Hold on tight, there's going to be an explosion."

"Explosion? Isn't it..."

'Boom.'

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted from behind the car, a blast of hot air swept over from the rear, making the car shake uncontrollably. Frightened, Li Sisi quickly held Xiaofan tightly.

Luckily, Xiaofan had already slowed down the car, and the explosion's range wasn't large. Only one of the cars was hit, the other trailing car was only overturned by the shock wave.

As she watched the flames and thick smoke rise from behind the car, Li Sisi suddenly felt a bit at a loss. Clearly, the guy she was holding onto was more terrifying than those chasing her.

"Alright, move over."

Slowing down further, Xiaofan finally spoke softly.

Li Sisi was still shaken, but she knew that maintaining such a position was indeed awkward. She slowly slid off him and moved cautiously to the passenger seat.

Meanwhile, Xiaofan immediately pulled out a walkie-talkie from his pocket. They were close enough to connect with Han Shengjun.

"Zilong..."

"Hey, I'm following from behind, what's up?"

"Nothing, just keep following. I'm going to need your help tonight. I might pass out drunk later, but I'm not sure if someone else will target Li Sisi. I need to find a place to crash quickly, then you catch up and take us somewhere safe, and watch over me for the night."

"No problem."

With those words, Xiaofan stopped the car, and shortly after, Han Shengjun arrived.

"Get in, we need to move..."

"Move? We're not going back? Who, who is he?"

"He's the one who set up the bomb. If I'm not mistaken, there will surely be more ambushes on our way back. They must have gotten news; the land at East Three Gates should soon be finalized for you. Many want you dead under these circumstances." Xiaofan explained softly.

"Then, you're not a bad guy, are you?"

"I am. But at least I won't harm you. Let's go." Xiaofan's words were completely sincere; he indeed was no good guy.

Qin Hai was really patient, not making a move for so many days, just waiting for this chance. If it weren't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't have done this.

The road ahead will surely have more ambushes, but let them wait in vain.

On that night... in Qin Hai's luxurious mansion.

Qin Hai had yet to rest, waiting anxiously for news of the plan's success.

However, of the three cars sent to track, one was destroyed, two were overturned, and in the end, they didn't even touch Li Sisi's hair.

"Brother Hai..."

"Speak."

"Li, Li Sisi is missing. She didn't go home; her car is parked by the roadside, and the police have gotten involved..."

"Damn it." Qin Hai said, immediately dialing a number: "Hello, this is Qin Hai, please pass on the message, it failed, the police are involved, withdraw all our people."

"My boss asked me to tell you he won't be involved in the matter of this property anymore. Handle your own issues."

"Hey, but... I did all this for everyone's benefit."

"No, just yours. If you want to make more money, better find other ways. The sixty million due next month needs to be on time."

"I, I understand."

Qin Hai reluctantly put down the phone, indeed having earned considerable profit from the collaboration with the other side. But recently, they kept asking for more money, and even a mountain wasn't enough to sustain it. Originally, he thought getting this land could suffice, but ultimately, he failed. Now, he has no choice but to let it go.

Meanwhile, Feng Feifei, who had been waiting anxiously, finally received a call from Li Sisi assuring her safety.

After briefly explaining the situation, she was also told she likely wouldn't return tonight, so there was no need to worry too much.

"What about Shen Zhifan? Is he okay?"

"Sister Fei, the first person you ask about isn't me, but him? You haven't known him long and you're already so partial." Li Sisi said unhappily.

"Alright, since you're able to call, you must be okay. But remember not to wander off casually in the future. Do you realize your mistake? By acting willfully, you're implicating a lot of people, foremost your bodyguard, Shen Zhifan."

"Got it, Shen Zhifan this, Shen Zhifan that, nine out of ten sentences aren't without him. I'll be more careful in the future."

Hanging up the phone, Li Sisi pouted and then looked toward Xiaofan's room. Earlier, she had only seen him murmur a few words with that man, and that man nodded before leaving. He then told her to immediately call Feng Feifei to assure her safety.

But after the call, where did he go?

"Ugh..."

From the bathroom, Xiaofan leaned against the wall with one hand, throwing up wildly with no hint of grandeur. His entire body felt as if his stomach was churning like a stormy sea; he had to vomit freely to feel better.

Originally, he was controlling the alcohol with his Inner Strength properly, but didn't expect trouble to come at that moment. While immersed, he couldn't concentrate on more things, leading to the alcohol overpowering him, injuring both his spirit and energy.

Seeing Xiaofan in such a state, Li Sisi couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. If it weren't because of her, he wouldn't have had to drink so much. She quietly exited Xiaofan's room. She knew that men typically care about their image in matters like this—vomiting in front of a woman is rather undignified.

But it seemed that the vomiting wasn't stopping anytime soon, with no movement for a whole thirty minutes.

Initially, Li Sisi was worried about being in the same room with a drunken man and precautions she should take.

'Thud.'

Suddenly, a light sound came from Xiaofan's room, startling Li Sisi to her feet.

"Hey, what's going on with you?"

"..."

No response was heard, so Li Sisi walked over curiously and asked again at the door: "Hey, Shen Zhifan, are you alright?"

"..."

Still no response, Li Sisi gently opened the door and peeked inside. Seeing Xiaofan lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, she quickly rushed in.

"Hey, Shen Zhifan, what's wrong with you, say something. Hey..."

"Hm? I'm going to sleep a bit, don't disturb me. This booze is too strong. Keep it quiet, don't worry, it's very safe here. Just go to sleep."

With that said, Xiaofan's eyes heavily closed; he indeed looked too exhausted to move. The alcohol he had controlled initially had spread into his bloodstream when his focus faltered, and it became unstoppable.
