He quickly reached out to grab the steering wheel, but it was too late. The driver was going very fast and had his foot on the gas pedal, showing no intention of letting go.

Before anyone could grab the steering wheel, the taxi sped off towards the cargo and river beside it.

With a loud crash, the bridge beside the river was overturned, the railings were knocked off, and the car itself was sent flying. At that moment, Xu Fan even thought of the word "death."

He looked at the night sky; there was no moon, only the surrounding lights twinkling. Occasionally, a divorce light would suddenly appear and flash incessantly. At that moment, many questions popped into his mind, whether it was the appearance of the system or the numerous songs he had released.

Even the cheers of all the fans or other issues, all of this seems like a script, constantly repeating itself in my mind and in my life, yet seemingly without any change.

Most importantly, when Xu Fan's car was already heading towards the river, he saw the driver and suddenly opened his eyes.

It was as if everything just now was intentional. At that moment, he saw the driver open the car door and jump out. Xu Fan instinctively wanted to open the window as well.

But then he realized that the car windows were sealed shut. He didn't understand why the driver could jump out of the window and leave, while he was stuck inside the car.

He never imagined he would be so close to death. When the car crashed into the water, he felt a suffocating sensation.

Fortunately, the car windows were closed, so not too much water got into the car immediately; it just seeped in little by little. However, Xu Fan could clearly feel the air constantly escaping, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He had never encountered such a scene before, nor had he ever seen such a sight. He kept telling himself to stay calm, stay calm, and stay calm, but the water flowing outside the car window was surging.

Therefore, the water pressure on the car door and windows was too great, and even with his musical fist technique, Xu Fan was still unable to open the window. After several attempts, he realized that he had to think of another way.

Unbeknownst to Xu Fan, at that very moment, the driver surfaced in the river not far away. He glanced at the car in the distance, then smiled and walked ashore.

He pulled out a cell phone from somewhere; it was perfectly intact, not unusable despite the water damage. He dialed a number and said into the phone, "Based on my understanding of this river, he should be dead."

The voice on the other end was very quiet, so quiet that it was almost impossibly quiet. After a few seconds of silence, a simple and indifferent voice came from the other end. It was a woman who said, "We must handle this quickly. He is not an ordinary person."

The driver on the other end nodded, hung up the phone, and couldn't help but smile, though he didn't know what he was thinking. But just then, he suddenly felt a chill.

He felt a peculiar thought coming from the depths of his mind, and then he felt a chill on his neck, a chill that was hard to describe. The next second, he suddenly realized that his neck was bleeding.

Only then did he realize that someone had slit his throat. The pain was so intense that he couldn't react for a moment, and more importantly, words came to his mind.

At that moment, I was truly dumbfounded.

He never imagined he would encounter such a situation, and yet, right before his eyes, a woman walked forward. Her back was elegant, and she exuded a peculiar aura.

But he could no longer see the woman's figure or her face, because she had disappeared into the night sky, and he himself knelt down on the ground in utter helplessness.

He came here to kill, but he never imagined he would die here today. So at this moment, he showed despair, resentment, and helplessness, but there was nothing he could do.

Meanwhile, when Xu Fan came up with all sorts of solutions but found himself completely helpless, he suddenly realized that he might really die here today.

Then at that moment, he suddenly thought of someone. Didn't he say he would always stay by his side?

But where was he right now? Just as he was thinking about this problem, Xu Fan suddenly sensed a dark shadow around him. It seemed like there was another person in the river. The next second, Xu Fan realized that there really was someone outside the taxi window.

Before he could react, he suddenly realized that the car had risen slightly for a moment. Because water has buoyancy, and someone was applying a little force, the car rose to some extent, although it didn't come out completely.

But at least Xu Fan could feel the air flowing in. Then, the next second, the car window, or rather the hood, was opened, revealing Xu Fan's face. He looked at the girl standing in the river in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

That's right, An Lanyue has always been by Xu Fan's side. Or perhaps "by his side" isn't quite the right word, but one thing is certain: An Lanyue has always been with Xu Fan because she knows that she will always remember what her father said.

Xu Fan was in danger, that's what his father told him, so he had to protect her, that's also what his father told him. So Xu Fen didn't expect An Lanyue to appear at this moment.

But in An Lanyue's heart, this was what he should do. He looked at Xu Fan earnestly and asked, "Are you alright?"

The question was simple and direct. Xu Fan shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He pressed a button, reached out and pulled Xu Fan out of the car.

The car slowly sank into the water, and the two walked towards the shore. At this moment, everything around them was extremely quiet. Xu Fan asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

But after asking the question, he felt something was strange, because An Lanyue did not answer. The two of them walked on the shore in extreme silence without saying a word.

They didn't know how much time had passed, but because they were both soaking wet, they quickly found another taxi and rushed home, since they were both completely drenched.

Therefore, paying more is inevitable.

Of course, this was just a minor incident. Xu Fan quickly changed his clothes after returning home, and An Lanyue also returned to the guest room of Xu Fan's house.

He changed into his old clothes. It was a simple matter, but after he finished, Xu Fan came out and sat in the living room. An Lanyue also came out, though she didn't know where her mother had gone.

Logically, his mother should have been resting at this time, but when he arrived home, he found that his mother's room was open.

Xu Fan called his mother, but the phone kept ringing without being answered. Xu Fan frowned, but since things had come to this, he didn't think about it anymore.

Just then, Xu Fan's eyes fell on a note left on the wall in the living room. It turned out to be a message from his mother, saying, "Xiao Fan, if you come back, don't worry about me. I'm going to your maternal grandfather's house."

Xu Fan suddenly felt relieved, but just then he noticed that Anlan Garden in the distance was watching him. He frowned, looked down at Anlan Yue, and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

An Lanyue didn't answer the question directly. He walked over and sat down next to Xu Fan, then solemnly said again, "Can you protect yourself? I've told you before, you're in danger. If it weren't for me tonight, you would be dead, you know that?"

An Lele's words were so direct that they made Xu Fan blush. He used to think that he didn't need An Ran to protect him because he was strong enough on his own.

Later, he discovered that An Lanyue was indeed very capable, but he still did not expect to encounter such danger today. If An Lanyue had not been with him the whole time, he might not have made it out today.

He stared at An Lanyue in silence for a moment, then said earnestly, "I know it's no use saying anything, but I still want to say thank you for tonight."

After he finished speaking, Xu Fan did this: An Lanyue brought over two glasses and a bottle of red wine from a distance. After receiving the two glasses of red wine, she picked up one glass herself and handed the other to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, then heard An Lanyue say, "Congratulations on your miraculous survival."

===Chapter 727 Going Back===

He narrowly escaped death.

This was a sentence An Lanyue said to Xu Fan. Xu Fan was slightly moved by these words. For Xu Fan, this was indeed a life-or-death ordeal.

He never imagined he would encounter such danger one day, but Anna ultimately saved him, so when he heard Anna say those words, his heart was filled with gratitude.

He looked at An Lanyue and said, "Every time I'm in danger, I feel like I can definitely turn things around. But this time, I really felt the powerlessness of life, so I'm really grateful to you."

An Lele waved his hand. He sat there quietly, picked up the teacup next to him, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then looked at Xu Fan and said, "My father once told me to protect you, so you don't need to thank me."

For An Lanyue, protecting Xu Fan was his mission and an order given to him by his father. As a soldier, he had to carry out his father's orders completely, so protecting Xu Fan was his top priority.

His rescue of Xu Fan was actually necessary, so he told Xu Fan that he didn't need to thank him. But in reality, even if Mr. Xu kept this letter in his heart, he would definitely remember it deeply.

He knew very well that life was only once, which is why he was excited when he obtained the system and realized that the world was actually quite kind to him at times. Life is always full of bumps and bruises.

You will also encounter some particularly helpless situations, and even more unexpected things, including the system itself. In essence, the system itself is...

It's actually a very difficult thing to understand, but in any case, Xu Fan obtained the perfect music system.

The two sat facing each other, and the air suddenly became quiet. The atmosphere between them seemed to become ambiguous, and the room became extremely quiet.

I don't know why, but suddenly a simple and beautiful piece of music came out, and the melodious feeling made the whole room sound a little different on this night.

So at this moment, both Xu Fan and An Lanyue were slightly embarrassed. In the end, An Lanyue stood up, shook her head at Xu Fan, and turned to walk into her house.

Xu Fan watched An Lanyue's retreating figure without saying much or asking any other questions. He simply returned to his room, lay on his bed, stared at the ceiling, and pondered the events of the night.

Neither he nor An Lanyue chose to report the case, but they both knew that the matter would eventually be discovered. However, Xu Fan was unaware of the extent of the uproar this would cause.

That's uncertain, at least because he didn't know the taxi driver was dead; in Xu Fan's memory, the taxi driver had only instructed him to jump out of the car. Aside from that, all Xu Fan knew was that...

This time, someone is definitely targeting me directly. So why at this time? Most importantly, who sent them and why are they targeting me? And it just so happens that they came out and hailed a taxi right after I finished.

The fact that the taxi driver was the murderer filled Xu Fan with doubt, and he couldn't figure out what this implied.

For Xu Fan, facing all these problems, besides feeling uneasy and afraid, he was also thinking about this unknown danger. He wanted to know who wanted to kill him.

He wanted to know more about who was the mastermind behind this and why they wanted to kill him. Xu Fan pondered this over and over, reflecting on his life's path.

Although things went much more smoothly because of the system, he never remembered offending anyone, or rather, he never remembered having a real life-or-death feud with anyone.

Of course, aside from one person from the Kingdom of Gran who died due to a system error and an unfortunate coincidence, who else could it be?

Xu Fan couldn't understand this problem, nor could he figure out who was controlling things behind the scenes, or who wanted to eliminate him, so he couldn't sleep that night.

Moreover, the car was still running until around 5 a.m. the next day when Xu Fan slowly closed his eyes and fell into a short sleep. When the rising sun suddenly appeared outside the window, Xu Fan opened his tired eyes, looked at the ceiling, and then shook his head.

He hoped that when he stepped out of the room, he would find that his mother and Shui'er had already returned, and most importantly, An Lanyue had prepared breakfast and was waiting for him to eat.

So when Xu Fan went out, he saw his mother, Shui'er, and An Lanyue. The three of them were sitting at the dining table, chatting and laughing. He didn't feel any unease about this scene and didn't think too much about it.

He heard An Lanyue call out to him, inviting him to come and eat. Without hesitation, he went over, and An Lanyue had already prepared porridge and steamed buns and placed them in front of Xu Fan. This scene warmed Xu Fan's heart.

But more than anything, there was confusion. What was the significance of An Lanyue taking the initiative to stand in front of him and his mother?

Xu Fan was also unclear about the most important question: why did you ask your daughter to protect you? Did you know from that moment that you would be in danger?

Based on these questions, Xu Fan felt that there must be something behind it that he hadn't considered, something he needed to find by all means.

After dinner, Xu Fan and An Lanyue left home. After briefly saying goodbye to their mother, they did not stay at home for long.

Xu Fan didn't tell his mother about the danger that happened last night. Most importantly, Xu Fan was afraid that his mother would worry about Xue'er, who was off work today, so he didn't go to school. Xu Fan's mother became the best person to keep Xue'er company.

This matter was generally accepted, and Xu Fan also felt that going out for a walk occasionally was a good thing, at least it would make him healthier.

Of course, besides that, Xu Fan and An Lanyue had to speed things up and get back to the filming location of the TV series "In the Name of the People".

On his way back, Xu Fan called Xu Shan and was told that a lot of footage had already been filmed, although many problems had arisen.

The filming process was slightly hampered, but so far, at least most of the footage and shots have been completed.

This brought a touch of joy to Xu Fan's heart. Although there was still a long time before the TV series wrapped up filming, at least for this moment, Xu Fan felt that everything seemed to have some meaning.

Xu Fan returned to the filming location of the TV series and took on the role of the actual director, starting filming and directing the scenes.

However, neither Xu Fan nor An Lanyue knew that at this very moment, on an island in the Kingdom of Gran, a beautiful young Chinese girl was gently fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.

A faint smile played on her lips, making her look incredibly sweet at that moment, when his soft voice suddenly rang out.

The little girl said, "So, this matter is not as simple as we thought. There is more than one person behind him, there are others. So I think we should change our strategy. I'll think about the specific issues again."

There were seven or eight burly men beside the girl. They stood there quietly, not angry at Xu Fan's words, but just nodded seriously. One of them said, "No matter what they are thinking, since this person has decided to die, he will die."

If Xu Fan were here, he would definitely notice that these people were talking about that person's life and death so casually, as if they were discussing a simple matter.

It couldn't be simpler, but what Xu Fan didn't know was that these people were talking about him. Xu Fan didn't think much of it, because he was unaware that such a conversation was taking place abroad at that very moment.

The little girl took off her backpack and took out a simple-looking item from it. It looked like a pendant, and it was silvery-white, probably silver, but maybe platinum.

Regardless, after the little girl held the pendant tightly in her hand for a moment, a strange smile appeared on her lips. No one knew what the meaning behind that smile was.

However, at this moment, the little girl suddenly became angry. She reached out and grabbed a big man next to her, coldly saying in English, "I've thought about countless ways to die, but I've never thought about how you would die. If you want to live, then open your eyes wide and look for Xu Fan. I want to catch him alive."

After the girl finished speaking, she chased away all the sea creatures in the surrounding area, and the room suddenly became quiet.

The girl sat on the sofa, looked at the mirror, and combed her hair slightly before realizing that there was actually a human skin on her face.

If anyone saw this, they would realize that it's the latest makeup technique: directly covering one's face with a specific type of skin to create a realistic illusion.
