Chapter 173
On the first day, the two spent their time directly at the beach hotel. This time they were not afraid of being seen at all. They boldly played on the beach, with many tourists around them. However, the two could brazenly sit on one side, applying sunscreen to each other without any concern.
Song Luokui still had a camera hanging around her neck, and Chi Yu kept taking pictures of her from time to time. They had a seafood feast for lunch and went for a massage in the evening. The happy day passed quickly.
On the second day, Chi Yu took Song Luokui shopping at the mall. However, on their way to the mall, Chi Yu noticed that they were being followed by another car.
What kind of car would follow them in a foreign country? The first possibility was kidnappers who wanted to abduct wealthy people. They might have taken an interest in them on the way, perhaps due to their luxurious attire.
The second possibility was Chi Yu's enemies – either foreign businessmen or officials who resented his rapid expansion and market dominance abroad, or someone from their home country who wanted to harm them. In any case, there were people with plans and malicious intentions to eliminate him.
Chi Yu was most concerned about the second possibility. At least with the first scenario, the kidnappers would delay for money, but with the second, money would be useless – they simply wanted him dead.
This time, when Chi Yu went out with Song Luokui, he had brought bodyguards with him – four of them, following them from behind.
When Chi Yu noticed the car following them, he immediately called the head bodyguard, "Lin, someone is following us."
Lin: "Boss, we have three cars trying to ambush us from the sides. Boss, you two get away quickly, we'll hold them off."
Chi Yu hung up the phone with a grave expression, "Baby, hold on tight."
Song Luokui: ?
The next second, their car sped forward, with the scenery outside blurring past. Song Luokui's heart leapt, her eyes wide open. She glanced at Chi Yu, then looked in the rearview mirror and saw the cars behind them.
Song Luokui sensed something was amiss. One hand gripped the overhead handle tightly, the other clutching her safety belt. She watched the speedometer on the dashboard climb higher and higher, past 200 and still rising...
Their car was originally a convertible sports car. Chi Yu had raised the top at the start, probably because Song Luokui was wearing a strapless dress, and her chest was quite prominent. When they first came out, some people had looked over, so Chi Yu immediately raised the top. Little did he expect they would encounter pursuers later on.
Song Luokui kept glancing in the rearview mirror. Initially, she could see the front of the car behind them, but eventually, it disappeared from view.
The car's speed continued to climb as it sped along the winding mountain road. Chi Yu reached out and held Song Luokui's hand, "Don't be afraid."
Song Luokui gripped his hand tightly, "I'm not afraid. Just focus on driving, I trust you!" She knew she couldn't be a burden now, and as the male lead, she felt Chi Yu would be alright.
Chi Yu grasped her hand and kissed it, "I'm sorry." He let go and stepped on the gas, the car's speed now exceeding 300 mph...
Song Luokui had thought such high speed would leave the car behind, but soon enough, she saw the familiar front of that car again.
Her heart tightened, "They've caught up."
Chi Yu gave a calm "Hmm," and turned onto another road, soon merging into a stream of traffic. He overtook cars, changed lanes, driving rapidly forward...
"Beep beep beep beep—"
Various car horns blared, and people shouted curses, but Chi Yu paid no heed, continuing to weave through traffic at high speed. The car behind them did much the same, the two vehicles speeding one after the other.
"Bang bang bang" – the sound of gunshots rang out. The car swerved abruptly, causing Song Luokui to lurch forward. Her hands gripped tightly, her face pale, but she remained silent.
Chi Yu: "Baby, keep your head down, don't be afraid."
Song Luokui did as he said.
The next moment, "Bang," a bullet struck the rear window, but surprisingly, the car had bulletproof glass, leaving only a dent in the window.
Song Luokui didn't scream, but she had bitten her lip until it bled. This was simply too intense – her heart could barely take it. But she couldn't cry out or be afraid, nor could she panic, or she might distract Chi Yu.
Other cars weren't so calm, some emergency braking and causing various traffic accidents. f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝗲bn𝐨𝚟𝚎l.com
Some people, frightened, called the police, but this was a foreign country, and the police response wasn't very quick.
Chi Yu was still desperately trying to shake off the pursuers behind them. With a few more "Bang bang bang" sounds, not just the rear window but the front windshield had been shot at too.
Tears streamed down Song Luokui's face, but she dared not cry out.
This chase lasted over an hour before several more cars appeared. The car behind them vanished from the rearview mirror, having been rammed and its tires shot out by the other vehicles.
It was then that Chi Yu received a message, "Boss, we got them."
Chi Yu: "Talk later. Tie them up!"
"Yes."
Chi Yu immediately turned the car and headed for a wealthy neighborhood. It was only then that he paid attention to Song Luokui, seeing her with eyes closed, lips bitten bloody, her face pale, hands still gripping the armrests tightly.
She hadn't even let out a sound. Chi Yu's heart ached, and he quickly pulled over, grasping her hand, "It's over now, don't be afraid."
Chi Yu held her in his embrace, and Song Luokui collapsed, trembling as she hid in his arms, her tears finally flowing unchecked.
Still somewhat afraid, she cried, "Will it be safe for us here? Can we go back?"
Chi Yu hugged her, gently kissing her tears away, "Don't be afraid, it's all over now, I'm sorry." He rubbed her back soothingly.
Song Luokui: "Let's go back."
"Okay." Chi Yu wiped her tears, then started the car again, driving into the wealthy neighborhood and directly into a villa.
After the car stopped in the garage, Chi Yu helped unbuckle Song Luokui's seatbelt, then carried her upstairs to the villa. There were servants in the villa, and Chi Yu instructed: "Bring a hot glass of milk to the room, and prepare some food."
"Yes."
Chi Yu placed her on the bed and was about to get a towel to wipe her face, but Song Luokui kept holding onto him tightly, looking like a frightened little rabbit. Chi Yu had no choice but to keep embracing her, kissing her continuously.
"I'll make them pay for this."
"Don't be afraid, we're safe now."
"Baby was very brave just now, super brave and obedient. It was my fault."
Chi Yu kept kissing her forehead, eyes, nose, and then licked her lips before kissing her deeply.
Soon after, a servant knocked on the door, and Chi Yu finally released the flushed Song Luokui.
