While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

"Hey, the whole family's here. I was only planning to kill one, but looks like this time, we're going to pull off something big!"

Watching Qin Xiao's family get into the car from the shadows, a cold smile appeared on Xu Shan's lips. Then, a wave of energy surged from his body, and he lightly followed them.

Enveloped by this subtle wave of energy, Xu Shan followed Qin Xiangyang's car on foot without feeling any strain.

At this moment, Qin Xiao, who was in the car, closed his eyes and fell asleep as soon as he got in. Moreover, Qin Xiao's strength was simply insufficient to discover Xu Shan's whereabouts.

Not to mention Qin Xiangyang, Yu Xiuqin, and Zhang Qian, three ordinary people.

On the other side, in the Meng family's car.

"Have you all remembered? The relationship between Director Shen and Xiao Feng must not be known to outsiders for the time being!"

Meng Yuanhe addressed the group of Meng family members.

"Dad, we won't tell anyone. Jingran and Bufan aren't the type to show off. But you'll probably have to give your little sister a few more instructions."

Meng Boqu said.

"Don't worry, I've already told Zuwang, and he'll warn Yunyun!"

Meng Yuanhe said.

"That's good. Zu Wang is a very steady and reliable person."

Upon hearing this, Meng Boqu and Meng Botao nodded.

At this moment, Meng Yun, who was sitting in the back seat of the Li family's car, naturally heard Li Zuwang's warning.

"Don't worry, from now on, I won't tell anyone!"

Meng Yun assured her, but a hint of guilt lurked in her eyes. Taking advantage of Li Zuwang's inattention, she took out her phone and sent a message to her best friend: "Weiwei, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else what I just told you. I only told you because I consider you my best friend."

"Don't worry, Sister Yun, I won't tell a third person. With such a powerful backer, the Meng family is destined for great things. I'm so envious of you..."

Soon, a reply came from the other end of the phone.

This person was none other than Meng Yun's best friend, Song Wei.

Seeing her best friend say this, Meng Yun finally felt relieved, and at the same time, she couldn't help but happily start fantasizing about a life of great wealth and prosperity in the future.

Now let's talk about Lin Feng and Meng Qingyao.

Meng Qingyao felt that Lin Feng was acting strangely, because while she was driving, Lin Feng would frequently look in the rearview mirror, and would even stick half of his head out to look into the blind spot behind the car.

"Hey, hey, hey, you've gone too far!"

Meng Qingyao spoke up angrily.

"Hmm? What's wrong, honey?"

Lin Feng looked at Meng Qingyao with some confusion, wondering why she would suddenly say that.

"You still have the nerve to ask me?"

Meng Qingyao retorted angrily, "Are you that worried about me driving? Why are you peeking around like that? Do you look down on female drivers? I'm a five-year veteran driver!"

"Take the side road to the right!"

Just then, Lin Feng saw a narrow forest path beside the main road, only wide enough for one vehicle to pass at a time. He pointed to the path and said in an unquestionable tone.

"what?"

Meng Qingyao was stunned, but sensing the unwavering certainty in Lin Feng's words, she did as he said and drove into the path lined with poplar trees on both sides.

"Stop!"

After walking a few hundred meters forward, Lin Feng spoke again.

"Lin Feng, aren't you drunk?"

Meng Qingyao looked at Lin Feng with some suspicion.

"No, when we came out of the hotel, someone was watching us in the dark."

Lin Feng frowned, looked around again, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Strange, I deliberately let you drive to such a remote place, why haven't you followed yet?"

"Huh? You're not seeing things, are you?"

Meng Qingyao said.

"No! That person is very strong, a master!"

Lin Feng shook his head without hesitation, confident in his own alertness.

"Well... maybe you're overthinking it. Perhaps they just finished eating and came to get their car? Or maybe they weren't even here for you at all!"

Meng Qingyao felt somewhat uncertain after hearing what Lin Feng said.

"If they're not targeting me, who else could they be targeting?"

Lin Feng chuckled lightly. His current identity was quite sensitive, but the next moment, he suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically: "Oh no, Xiao Zi!"

"I'll drive!"

Without saying a word, Lin Feng opened the car door, switched places with Meng Qingyao, and reversed rapidly with one hand on the steering wheel while dialing Qin Xiao's number with the other.

"Lin Feng, is he here for Qin Xiao?"

Meng Qingyao also realized what was happening.

"It's possible that Xiao Zi is taking the blame for everything that happened at Minghai today. Damn, I was really careless."

Lin Feng cursed angrily, glancing repeatedly at his phone: "Answer the phone! Answer the phone!"

However, just as Lin Feng was extremely anxious, the call was answered.

"Hey, Feng, why are you calling so soon? What's up?"

Qin Xiao's voice, a mixture of sleepiness and confusion, came through the phone.

"It's nothing, just asking where you are!"

Hearing Qin Xiao's voice on the phone, Lin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and slowed down the accelerator.

"Haha, I just arrived at the old cigarette factory on Yinghe Road. I'll be home in half an hour. Don't worry about me, Brother Feng, I..."

Qin Xiao's laughter and voice came through the phone, but the next moment, a piercing screech of brakes was heard, followed by the sound of shattering glass, mixed with Zhang Qian and Yu Xiuqin's terrified screams.

Then came the sound of the phone falling. Clearly, due to the sudden stop, Qin Xiao, who was still half asleep, hadn't held the phone properly, causing it to fly out of his hand.

Lin Feng's expression changed again as he looked at Meng Qingyao: "Qingyao, how long will it take to get to the old cigarette factory?"

"If we drive fast, it should take about fifteen minutes!"

Meng Qingyao said somewhat nervously.

"No, fifteen minutes is definitely not enough! Qingyao, open the navigation for me!"

Lin Feng reversed the car onto the main road and had Meng Qingyao open the map. After glancing at the route, Lin Feng turned off the navigation and stepped on the gas. With the roar of the engine, a surge of power pressed Meng Qingyao firmly against the back of her seat.

The car's speed visibly increased to 130, then 150... 180... and the speed on the car's dashboard continued to climb.

The fifteen minutes Meng Qingyao mentioned was subconsciously calculated based on the speed of fifty kilometers per hour in the city. Therefore, if Lin Feng wanted to get there quickly, he could only drive at the fastest speed.

Based on the aura Lin Feng sensed in the parking lot earlier today, that person must be a master at the Qi Transformation stage.

With Qin Xiao's strength at the Inner Strength stage, he wouldn't be completely helpless against a Qi Transformation stage expert, but Lin Feng knew very well that Qin Xiao could only last for five minutes at most. If he couldn't get there within five minutes, Qin Xiao would surely die.
