Chapter 1498: Off the Cliff
Mu Feichi lifted his eyes to look at the low-altitude antiaircraft missile that was flying toward them. At such a distance, even though their car was a grade-10 bulletproof vehicle, it would be impossible to defend against such a heavy weapon.
Instantly, he shouted, “Safety measures!”
In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the person in his arms tightly and slammed his right hand onto the car’s safety belt. The safety belt that shot out from his shoulders instantly locked the two of them tightly in their seats.
Fenghuang Niao did not dare to think too much about what she was doing. She pressed on the safety controls inside the car, and the double safety belt secured her firmly in the driver’s seat. Her right foot stepped on the accelerator, and her elbow moved as she turned the steering wheel quickly. The car had been programmed to account for the missile’s arrival, and it rushed toward the safety railing on the right side of the cliff.
As they slammed into the safety railing, the metal railing was crushed into shapeless metal bits. By then, the missile had already flown under their car. A loud bang sounded from behind them on the mountainside as it crashed into the wall...
Following that, the fireworks that had been prepared at the villa’s entrance to cover up the sound of the explosion were set off in the night sky.
Under blinding lights, the black car flipped over the railings and down the mountainside, propelled by the shock waves from the explosion. Down from the cliff into the dark ravine...
The people who had fired the low-altitude missile did not seem to have expected that they would steer the car toward the cliff. Several men in black camouflage uniforms got out of the car with helmets and heavy weapons.
A car drove over to them quickly. One of the men in the black camouflage uniforms glanced at the guy in the car.
“How do we deal with him now?” The man spoke hoarsely in fluent English, and he smelled like gunpowder on this cold night.
“Let’s blow him up. Let him crash into the wall down below and stop. We don’t want to accidentally injure our people, so we need to leave quickly. Some of us will lead the other team to the bottom of the mountain to search for them.”
“Got it!” Two black off-road vehicles sped off along the mountain road. The remaining one parked where it was, with a sniper lying in ambush on top of the vehicle.
Chen Yichen had chased after Yun Xi and Mu Feichi the moment he saw them leave the banquet hall. Xu Han drove his car and followed behind them. However, he did not expect to see the car being attacked by a missile just as the mountain road took a turn. Following that, the car soared into the sky and plunged toward the bottom of the cliff.
“No... Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry!” Chen Yichen’s face paled as he looked at the car that had fallen into the night. Not only was Young Commander Mu in the car, but Yun Xi was also inside!
The cliff was so high, he did not even dare think about the possibility of their survival.
Xu Han’s heart also skipped a beat as he witnessed the car being sent flying off the cliff from the shockwave of the explosion. No matter how he looked at it, this accident was not normal.
“Boss, look, there’s someone ahead...”
Just as Xu Han finished speaking, they heard a low bang. Their car skidded, and Xu Han immediately lost control of it.
Xu Han immediately bit his tongue. As he stepped on the brakes, he quickly grabbed the steering wheel and steered the car toward the mountain wall on the left.
The sound he’d heard earlier was from a shattered car tire. From the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow with a sniper rifle on top of the car in front of them. Subconsciously, he spun around and the car slammed into the mountain wall.
The airbag burst out from the driver’s seat, and he fell face first into it. The collision hurt his head terribly.
Chen Yichen was not wearing his seatbelt in the backseat and knocked his head against the passenger’s seat from the impact. He felt an intense pain shoot up his body. He looked at the car driving away quickly on the mountain path and stretched his hand out with much difficulty to pull up Xu Han, who was groaning in pain in the driver’s seat.
“How are you feeling? Are your injuries serious?”
“I’m all right... Boss, what about you...?”
“I’m fine!” Clutching his forehead, Chen Yichen got out of the car and stumbled toward the broken railing.
