Chapter 539: There's a Sniper

Others might not recognize her, but he did at first glance.

It had been a while since he last saw her, and she had become even prettier.

Just as he was thinking about how to greet her without feeling embarrassed, he halted upon seeing Nan Jiaojiao following a man into the elevator.

What did that mean?

It wasn’t Bo Yanching?

Without a second thought, Han Qi stared at the last number where the elevator stopped and pressed the button for another elevator to follow.

After Nan Jiaojiao and Yaen Chi entered the elevator and descended to the parking garage, she got into the car and casually inquired about Chu Yao.

“Don’t worry, all is well.

I left her with Miss Lu.

I heard her snoring when we left,” he replied.

Nan Jiaojiao laughed, “I’m sorry you had to witness that.”

Yaen Chi also chuckled.

His face didn’t show any sign of distress.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, he glanced back, reversed the car from its spot into the dim light, unable to see his face clearly, just a laughing voice could be heard.

Throughout the journey, Yaen Chi occasionally spoke a few words to her, with Nan Jiaojiao mostly responding to him; their conversation was relaxed and cheerful.

At eleven o’clock at night, the streets were quiet with few cars around.

Stopped at a red light, Yaen Chi tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, humming a tune, seemingly about to say something to her when he suddenly turned his head and his expression changed dramatically.

“Jiaojiao, be careful!”

At that moment, a sharp glint approached swiftly from afar.

A bullet struck the glass with a loud bang, but the glass was unaffected, the car shook slightly, and Yaen Chi protected Nan Jiaojiao’s head, ducking down.

“There’s a sniper.”

Yaen Chi removed his hand from atop Nan Jiaojiao’s head, pulled on her seat belt to ensure it was secure, and then sat back down immediately.

“Hold tight, little Jiaojiao.

Brother’s gonna speed up now.

If you’re scared, feel free to scream.

The car is bulletproof and should hold on for a while.

Contact Brother Yan now, and both of us can make it out alive.”

Yaen Chi had encountered such situations before, but it had been rare for anyone to dare to chase after him in the last two years.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t brought anyone with him today, and there were no allies lying in ambush.

Escaping took priority.

He didn’t want to scare Nan Jiaojiao, so he refrained from explaining too much to her.

Luckily, Nan Jiaojiao remained calm, quickly reached for her phone, her hand shaking slightly, causing the phone to drop under the seat.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t go to pick it up but asked sternly, “Where’s your phone?”

“In my right trouser pocket.”

Now was not the time for modesty.

Nan Jiaojiao retrieved Yaen Chi’s phone, entered a few numbers, and Bo Yanching’s contact appeared, ringing a few times before being answered on the other side.

“Tree Shade Road, Yaen Chi and I are being chased.”

Before Bo Yanching could say a word, hearing Nan Jiaojiao’s voice, he slammed on the brakes, his chest hitting the steering wheel.

“How are you guys doing now?”

“We’re okay,” she responded.

No sooner had she spoken than bullets rained down from all directions like a storm, with Yaen Chi managing to dodge most but still a few hitting the car, leaving the front passenger’s bulletproof glass webbed with several cracks.

The car Yaen Chi drove today was somewhat inferior, but its glass was of the highest bulletproof standard, and it was about to shatter.

Yaen Chi’s face paled as he sharply turned the steering wheel, the car’s tires screeching against the ground, a noise that penetrated the phone, and Bo Yanching’s voice, unusually panicked, called out, “Yaen Chi!”

“Brother Yan, things don’t look good.

Hurry over with backup.

Don’t worry, before you get here, I’ll protect Jiaojiao.”

Bo Yanching said, “Don’t hang up.”

“Okay.”

Yaen Chi glanced at Nan Jiaojiao.

The girl’s hat was pulled down low, revealing only her eyebrows; a scarf covered half her face, hiding her expression, but her eyes were like a hawk lurking in the abyss.

Radiating a killing intent.
