Glancing furtively in the rearview mirror, the driver met Tao Yu’s gaze for a second, hastily and nervously locking the car door, completely separating the front and back, and then sped away with a step on the gas. Tao Yu was choked by the seatbelt, and the next second, Yue Lin supported her. The two looked grave, facing forward. Yue Lin connected his phone to the butler and stuffed it into the back seat.
The car drove wildly for an unknown duration, the surroundings becoming increasingly remote. Tao Yu anxiously gripped Yue Lin’s hand, feeling as if they might end their journey here today.
“When we get out of the car, I’ll shout, and you run, find a place to hide. The butler will arrive soon,” Yue Lin whispered.
Tao Yu shook her head, grabbing his hand without speaking. She didn’t want to leave, but also didn’t want to argue with him right now. She would find an excuse later if needed.
With these thoughts, when they arrived at their destination and their feet just touched the ground, they were stunned by an electric baton. In her daze, Tao Yu thought it was fortunate she hadn’t argued about escaping earlier.
After an indeterminate period of unconsciousness, a bucket of water splashed on her face. As she coughed and struggled, before even opening her eyes, she heard Yue Ze’s furious roar.
She propped herself up with her weakened body, barely opening her eyes to look ahead. She saw Yue Ze hanging like in the video, and nearby, Yue Lin was pale, leaning against a container, looking utterly exhausted.
Tao Yu suddenly became alert, struggling to stand and rush towards them, but was blocked by a man. Looking up at his face, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Zhou Ying, whose legend she had only heard about but never seen in person, had finally appeared.
“Are you heading towards the young master or the second young master?” Zhou Ying asked with a smile, his eyes filled with contempt for Tao Yu. “What a pity. You look quite appealing, but this person is just too dirty.”
“Shut your damn mouth!” Yue Ze cursed, blood foam flowing from his mouth.
