Chapter 735 - Ming Zhi Yi\'s Retaliation

But she seemed to be forgetting something.

What was it?

A faint sound of thunder rolling came to their ears.

Linfeng looked up. "The skies are dark, it will rain later."

Xiong Zhi: "Is there another storm coming?"

Linfeng: "There was a low-pressure area nearby detected yesterday. It is expected to turn into a storm."

Linfeng helped Xiong Zhi get into the car and before sitting beside her. Their car drove forward, followed by two more black cars filled with the Xiong family\'s bodyguards.

Xiong Zhi pulled out her phone and called Gu Zhen.

The man answered languidly. "They completed their missions very well."

"Did you get what we are looking for in Ethan\'s phone?"

"Yes. As expected of an Abromich, his security walls and locks are quite tight. But I managed to crack them. I have the details here with me. You can get it from me by tomorrow. You have to prepare the payment then."

Tang Yin did a good job.

She answered, "Alright. I\'ll send the amount to your account tonight."

Linfeng, who was beside Xiong Zhi, looked at the two cars where the Xiong bodyguards were riding. Their distance was not quite right.

Linfeng\'s eyes flashed sharply.

He asked, "Mr. Ji, do you know the two drivers of the teams we went with today?"

(A/N: You guys still remember our lovely driver right who first appeared in chapter 17 and so on, right? Yeah, that Mr. Ji. Xiong Zhi\'s personal driver.)

Mr. Ji looked at the two black cars reflected in the side mirror. "Yes, I do know them personally."

"How long has it been since you last personally saw them today?"

Mr. Ji recalled his memory. "I last saw them today after the first break. They went to have a smoke while I was guarding our car."

"So you did not see them personally getting into the car before we went, correct?"

Mr. Ji: "No, Sir Zhou. I drove the car in the area first to pick you two up."

Linfeng nodded. "Can you honk twice?"

Mr. Ji finally noticed something. In the Xiong family\'s insider rules for drivers, they have secret signals. It was implemented by Linfeng.

Honking twice was a signal meant to \'identify\' yourself. It was both an alarm and confirmation, meaning that there must be an enemy in their midst, most likely in one of the bodyguard\'s cars. The other teams had to honk three times in order to verify that they were the Xiong family\'s drivers.

However, after Mr. Ji sounded the car horn twice, the expected reaction from the other side was wrong.

The car on the left side only beeped twice, while the other one did not honk at all.

Linfeng and Mr. Ji both turned serious.

Thunder rolled in the dark sky, followed by a flash of lightning.

Xiong Zhi, who had finished her phone call, noticed their expressions. "What\'s the matter?"

Linfeng held her hand. "The two cars which are supposed to be our bodyguards\' seemed to have been replaced by someone else\'s."

"An enemy?" Xiong Zhi\'s face turned serious, too.

An ominous feeling rose in her.

What was it? She seemed to have forgotten something.

"There is a big chance." Linfeng squeezed her hand. "But don\'t worry, I trust Mr. Ji\'s driving skill."

Mr. Ji nodded. His face was focused. "Don\'t worry, Young Miss Zhi and Sir Zhou, I will soon lose them from our tail. Please hold on tightly."

Linfeng helped Xiong Zhi buckle on her seatbelt. He dialed his father\'s phone number to request for backup.

"I will go wild now, Sir Zhou," Mr. Ji asked for permission.

Linfeng, who was still on the phone nodded. "Go ahead."

Vroooom!

The screeching sound of the wheels filled the streets and attracted the bystanders\' attention.

In a few seconds, their car managed to create a distance of several meters.

The two cars acted a second late, but they still managed to chase after them.

There were several cars scattered ahead. Mr. Ji changed gears and swiftly weaved past them.

The two chasing cars behind lagged a bit. One almost hit a family van behind them.

Xiong Zhi\'s body swayed to the side and saw this scene in the rearview mirror.

"Not good," she murmured gravely. "There are too many civilians here. We cannot involve them. Where is the nearest highway?"

Linfeng answered while on the phone. "They must have anticipated it beforehand. There will likely be people waiting there. Our men are coming, they are heading towards the T expressway. We have to meet up in that area."

Mr. Ji nodded. He maneuvered the car and changed lanes heading to the T expressway. His eyes glanced up and saw the cars chasing behind race after them.

Lu Jin\'s warning to her yesterday.

A cold sensation crawled at the back of her neck.

...She had made a severe mistake. She forgot to mention this to Linfeng. She was too careless!

Xiong Zhi tugged Linfeng\'s sleeve urgently. "They are Ming Zhi Yi\'s people. Lu Jin came to me yesterday and told me to add more men today."

Linfeng put down his phone. He had just finished calling his father.

His gaze was serious. "Why did you not tell me about that?"

....He is angry.

The man could still approach Xiong Zhi yesterday despite his brothers\' protection, what if it\'s not Lu Jin but Ming Zhi Yi\'s people instead? That would put Xiong Zhi in danger.

Xiong Zhi averted her gaze, feeling ashamed for making such a foolish mistake. "I\'m sorry, it is my mistake. I was about to tell you, but then I forgot about it."

Yesterday, they were so intimate in the private room that Xiong Zhi forgot that short encounter. Linfeng\'s effect on her was very strong that she seemed to forget everything else when caught up with the moment.

However, it was not usually to the point of forgetting something very important.

It was very strange, as if that memory was purposely shadowed in her mind.

Linfeng also remembered yesterday.

...It seemed he was also not totally blameless.

But now was not the right time to talk about this. He would \'talk\' to her \'nicely\' about this later.

Linfeng comforted her. "Let\'s talk about this later. Don\'t worry. Since you have me, I will not let anything happen to you."

Xiong Zhi nodded obediently. "I know."

Fortunately, he did not get too upset.

Mr. Ji\'s tensed back also relaxed a bit.

If the passenger seat was full of panic and anxiety, it would also affect the driver. Fortunately, the couple behind him was calm and composed, so the pressure on Mr. Ji\'s body loosened a lot. He was affected by their calm attitude. He gradually forgot about the people sitting behind him and focused on the escape at hand.

As their car reached the highway joint, two ordinary looking cars came out from the joint. They were fast and had no signs of stopping.

(E/N: Joint here is one main road with another extension. Imagine a three-branch joint.)
