In the dead of night, on a highway leading to Shangjing, a black off-road vehicle sped like lightning.

They had already left Jianghai City, where the Liu Family resided. It had been seven or eight hours, and they were getting closer to Shangjing, with only a few hundred kilometers left to cover. Just two or three more hours, and they would reach their destination.

Ye Xuan cranked up the speed to a blinding 250 km/h, racing down a straight road. In the blink of an eye, the off-road vehicle shot forward dozens of meters, like a rocket, so fast it was like a silver flash of lightning streaking through the night sky.

Just then, Natasha, who was sitting in the passenger seat with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, glanced at the rear-view mirror, and said, "Someone is tailing us!"

At this moment, the rear-view mirror clearly showed a black Santana closely following the off-road vehicle.

"I noticed earlier."

Ye Xuan said calmly. Half an hour ago, he realized they were being tailed!

The car behind them had been tailing closely, maintaining the same distance. This was highly unusual. Even though he had raised the speed to over 200 km/h, that car remained tight on their tail. There was only one possibility: they were being followed. What else could it be?

"What should we do now?" Natasha withdrew her gaze and asked.

"Ignore them for now. Getting to our destination is more important. We'll find a chance to lose them later."

Ye Xuan said coldly. He didn't have time to deal with them, knowing they were there to stop him from reaching Shangjing. However, at this moment, Ye Xuan was anxious to get to the Wang Family in Shangjing and wasn't in the mood to deal with them—better to just shake them off.

Five minutes passed, and that vehicle was still closely following them. This was a straight road, and with the other car sticking so close, Ye Xuan couldn't widen the gap.

Fortunately, this situation was about to end, for up ahead was a stretch of winding roads. Ye Xuan could use the curves to accelerate and completely lose them.

However, man proposes but heaven disposes. Just as he was about to enter the curves and speed up, an unexpected incident occurred.

At a short distance to his right, a heavy truck was driving. Just as Ye Xuan's off-road vehicle caught up and was about to overtake it, coincidentally, one of the truck's tires blew out!

Poof!

A tire explosion sounded, and the heavy truck instantly lost balance, tipping over towards the blown tire.

At this moment, Ye Xuan's car was right in that spot, and he watched as the heavy truck tipped over, about to crush his off-road vehicle!

"Damn it!"

Ye Xuan's expression changed drastically. He cursed under his breath, and without thinking, floored the gas pedal, accelerating the car to maximum speed, then jerked the steering wheel.

Vroom vroom...

The off-road vehicle roared and immediately began a high-speed drift. Under Ye Xuan's precise control, the vehicle traced a semi-circular curve, executing a tail-flick. Just as the heavy truck was about to flatten it, it skillfully soared through the gap along the very edge of the road railing!

The off-road vehicle completed an incredibly elegant high-speed drift. In a split second, it finally surpassed the tipping heavy truck, avoiding the possibility of being squashed by it.

Boom!

As soon as the off-road vehicle narrowly escaped, the heavy truck crashed into the road railing and toppled over with a thunderous bang! The iron railings couldn't even resist for a moment and were torn apart as the heavy truck overturned the rails and fell onto the slope beyond, throwing up a blinding cloud of dust.

With a screech, Ye Xuan slammed the brakes, bringing the high-speed drifting off-road vehicle to a steady stop in the middle of the road.

With both hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, Ye Xuan took a few heavy breaths. A few drops of cold sweat unwittingly dripped from his forehead. The moment just now was extremely perilous!

If his response hadn't been quick enough and his driving skills good enough to escape in time, he surely would have been crushed beneath the heavy truck by now.

Although it might not have threatened his and Natasha's lives, it certainly would have caused some injury and severely impacted his strength, affecting his mission to rescue someone from the Wang Family! Even if he managed to arrive in time, facing the experts of the Shangjing Wang Family without being in peak condition would be highly dangerous.

"Damn! Damn! Damn bastard!"

Suddenly, Ye Xuan was filled with murderous intent, his eyes turned red.

At this moment, he regretted not dealing with those people earlier! Otherwise, how could such a thing have happened?

This accident wasn't just a coincidence; it was man-made, caused by those who were following them!

Because just as he was about to overtake, he distinctly heard the 'bang' of a gunshot, followed by the truck's tire blowing out. If he couldn't figure out what had happened from that, he might as well hang it up.

The stalkers used a gun to blow out the tire, causing the accident to stop him from reaching Shangjing! He hadn't expected them to go to such crazy lengths, willing to shoot to kill to stop him.

And the timing was so perfect, they nearly succeeded.

At this moment, Ye Xuan burned with fury, filled with murderous intent. If he saw those people again, he wouldn't hold back! He would personally eliminate them, sending them to Hell for repentance!

"Hmm?"

Just then, a strong infrared beam appeared in the rearview mirror, causing Ye Xuan to instinctively squint his eyes. Then his expression changed, and he shouted, "Get down!"

As he spoke, he instinctively ducked down. Natasha reacted quickly, almost simultaneously ducking under the car with Ye Xuan.

Bang bang!

As they ducked, the Santana that had been tailing them roared past the side of the off-road vehicle, and, accompanied by two gunshots.

Click click!

The bullets shattered the car's side windows. Since Ye Xuan reacted promptly, he and Natasha ducked in time, the bullets missed them.

After firing two shots, the people in the black Santana didn't stop or fire again, but accelerated away.

Because they knew they failed to kill Ye Xuan, if they stayed, they would be the ones killed!

You could say these people were wise to leave immediately. Ye Xuan didn't chase them because they left swiftly and were already far away. By the time he could accelerate to chase, they would likely already be gone. They never intended to stay.

Moreover, there was still the overturned heavy truck that crashed into the railing because of him. Abandoning the unfortunate guy without helping would indeed be heartless.

Ye Xuan had his own principles of conduct. He wouldn't violate them, so seeing the stalkers leave, he chose to give up on chasing.

"I'll deal with you next time!"

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth in resentment. Since this group dared to ambush him, it surely wouldn't be a one-time interception. He believed they'd meet again.
