Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Escape from Death 1

Her pupils contracted, but before she could scream out, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet hit the car hood behind her.

Lin Xinlan’s face turned pale with fear, and she dared not move a muscle.

Rong Shaoze remained composed, with not a trace of panic.

Their pursuers behind them kept firing, bullets incessantly hitting the car. One grazed by Lin Xinlan’s side and struck the side mirror.

With a loud crash, the mirror shattered. Lin Xinlan hurriedly shielded her face with her hands as a shard flew towards her, cutting her arm and immediately drawing blood.

She endured the pain without so much as a whimper.

Rong Shaoze concentrated on driving, unaware that she had been injured.

"Xinlan, are you all right?" However, he still asked with concern.

"I’m fine." Lin Xinlan said, trembling slightly, yet she was relatively composed. She hadn’t fainted with fear or wet herself.

A flicker of admiration passed through Rong Shaoze’s eyes.

This wasn’t a TV show, nor was it playing CS—it was real bullets and real guns.

It was Lin Xinlan’s first time facing such a situation, and the fact that she could retain a semblance of composure was already remarkable.

Up ahead was a turn, he told her to brace herself as he floored the accelerator, pushing the speed to two hundred miles per hour. The cars behind followed, quickly picking up speed as well.

But he had no intention of turning; the car continued straight as if it was about to plunge over a cliff!

Lin Xinlan’s eyes widened in horror as the vehicle appeared to be heading straight down the slope, but at the last moment, the man timed it perfectly and yanked the steering wheel hard.

"Screech—" The tires screeched sharply against the pavement.

The car swiftly turned around, safely navigating the bend.

The car behind wasn’t so lucky. Not having the driving skills that Rong Shaoze had, and with its excessive speed, it couldn’t make the turn in time. The first car crashed through the guardrail at top speed and rolled down the hillside.

The second car, following behind, quickly perceived the danger and swerved sharply, managing to avoid going off the road but side-swiping the guardrail and having to come to a temporary halt.

Lin Xinlan only dared to breathe after seeing the cars behind her stop, her heart quietly sighing in relief.

Rong Shaoze didn’t let his guard down, reducing his speed slightly but still moving fast.

The second car corrected its direction and quickly resumed the chase. Lin Xinlan couldn’t help but exclaim, "They’re coming again, why won’t they give up!"

Her tone was as if she were talking about a cockroach that just wouldn’t die.

Rong Shaoze couldn’t help but chuckle, but his gaze suddenly fell on the fuel gauge, and he cursed under his breath, "SHIT! We’re out of gas!"

"You’ve got to be kidding!" Lin Xinlan immediately wore a gloomy expression.

The car was a rental from Rong Shaoze, and they had been driving around since morning for several hours, forgetting to refuel, which was why they were now in this unfortunate predicament.

Out of gas, how would they drive to escape?

There was a coconut grove nearby, and Rong Shaoze quickly made a decision, urgently saying to Lin Xinlan, "Quick, unbuckle your seat belt!"

The more critical the moment, the more alert Lin Xinlan’s mind became. She unbuckled her seat belt and cooperatively opened the car door.

Rong Shaoze parked the car at the roadside, got out, ran to her side, and pulled her into the woods at a brisk pace.

Between the woods and the road was a guardrail, which meant cars couldn’t drive into the grove. The hitmen pursuing them would have to abandon their vehicle.

Rong Shaoze intended to use the trees for cover, giving them at least some chance of surviving.

Though the coconut trees weren’t very thick, if they turned sideways, they could still hide their figures.
