The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 37 - 37 37 Hunter and Prey

37: Chapter 37 Hunter and Prey 37: Chapter 37 Hunter and Prey At the very moment Lin Fei realized they were being followed, he remained outwardly calm but was inwardly on high alert.

Lin Fei didn’t take action immediately because he wasn’t alone in the car; Shen Peini was with him.

If this was aimed at Shen Peini, that would be straightforward to deal with.

Domestic business competition wouldn’t involve sending an assassin, and Lin Fei could easily ensure Shen Peini’s safety.

But if it were foreign adversaries who learned of Lin Fei’s presence in Zhonghai and sent a top assassin, Lin Fei would have to be very careful.

Because if that were the case, the two cars behind might very well contain heavy weaponry like rocket launchers!

Considering that the Hell’s Judgement Organization could clandestinely control a country’s parliament and sway its political direction, the strength of a force that dared target Lin Fei was evident.

Although the likelihood that some foreign enemies had found him was slim, Lin Fei couldn’t afford to be careless, especially with Shen Peini in the car.

“Penny, have you offended anyone recently?”

For now, Lin Fei’s primary task was to clarify who the two cars behind were after.

“Huh?

What do you mean?”

Shen Peini was originally waiting for Lin Fei’s response, curious to see if she mattered more to Lin Fei than Weiwei.

Lin Fei’s sudden question caught even a mature woman like Shen Peini off guard.

Lin Fei spoke gravely, “We’re being followed.”

Shen Peini was alarmed and instinctively wanted to look at the rearview mirror, but Lin Fei sternly stopped her, “Don’t look at the rearview mirror, just focus on driving.”

If the cars following them were sent by Lin Fei’s foreign enemies, the people inside could very well be international top assassins.

Shen Peini’s act of looking in the rearview mirror could alert them and potentially trigger an early attack.

Feeling the unprecedented solemnity in Lin Fei’s tone, Shen Peini’s instincts alerted her, and she quickly revisited recent events in her mind.

A minute later, Shen Peini affirmed, “No, I haven’t offended anyone lately.”

“Is it possible that someone is trying to capture you to threaten your relatives?”

Considering someone like Shen Peini, the possibility of offending people was indeed small.

However, it couldn’t be ruled out that someone might want to capture her to threaten her relatives.

After all, behind her stood a director from the Mu Group.

In the business world, as treacherous as a battlefield, it wasn’t impossible for someone to take bold risks for financial gains.

“My aunt is kind-hearted; I don’t remember her offending anyone.”

Shen Peini pondered for two seconds and then declared in a firm voice.

Her aunt was also one of the directors of the board of the Mu Group.

“Then it’s me they’re after!”

Lin Fei’s expression turned cold in an instant.

No matter who sent them, since they dared to target him, Lin Fei, they had to be ready to face his wrath!

“I’ll drive from now on; you should try to relax as much as possible.”

Lin Fei couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

This woman really did have an active imagination.

While he was concerned about how to ensure Shen Peini’s safety, she was worried about taking advantage of him.

Truly, ignorance was bliss.

You can’t really blame Shen Peini for not trusting Lin Fei, given that he had previously flirted with her, making comments about car sex and the like.

Suddenly being held in Lin Fei’s arms, it was inevitable for Shen Peini to feel suspicious.

Lin Fei couldn’t care less about what Shen Peini was thinking.

With two cars following them, who knew when they might fire a rocket.

Lin Fei definitely didn’t want to gamble with Shen Peini driving the car.

Seeing Lin Fei remaining silent, Shen Peini stopped berating him.

After all, interactions work both ways.

Just now, the warmth of being held in Lin Fei’s arms wasn’t only felt by Lin Fei himself, how could Shen Peini not react?

“Buckle up, I’m going to speed up.”

Lin Fei refocused and slammed the gas pedal, instantly accelerating the car to 120 km/h.

“Ah…”

Shen Peini let out a shriek.

She had just grabbed the seat belt but hadn’t managed to fasten it when the car lurched forward.

A massive force pushed her back against the seat; the pressure was almost suffocating.

Shen Peini couldn’t believe that Lin Fei would dare to drive at 120 km/h in the city area.

However, she didn’t have much time to think about it; recollecting herself, her trembling, delicate hands fastened the seat belt.

At this point, Shen Peini also noticed that Lin Fei was controlling the car perfectly.

Despite the high speed, the car was incredibly stable.

There were quite a few vehicles on the road, but Lin Fei always managed to skillfully dodge the surrounding cars and continue speeding.

As Lin Fei’s speed continued to rise, they gradually left the urban area and headed toward the suburbs.

Once out of the city, Lin Fei swiftly increased the speed.

On the less crowded suburban roads, he raced through, taking bends without much deceleration, drifting around the corners with ease.

Shen Peini turned pale, feeling a wave of nausea, but she bit her lip hard, refusing to make a sound.

Because in the rearview mirror, she noticed two black Accord sedans sticking close behind them.

In the urban area, Shen Peini hadn’t been able to tell, but now on the suburban roads, there weren’t many other vehicles.

Lin Fei had pushed the speed up to 160 km/h, yet the two cars were still on their tail.

If Shen Peini couldn’t tell that these cars were targeting them now, then she didn’t deserve Lin Fei’s concern.

Glancing unconsciously at Lin Fei, Shen Peini saw no panic on his face.

His expression was as tranquil as still water, the only sign of emotion being a chilling coldness in the corners of his mouth.

Feeling Shen Peini’s gaze, Lin Fei turned his head, offering her an innocuous smile, “Don’t be afraid, I’ve got this.”

The woman’s indirect invitation to dinner was really a release of emotional signals; Lin Fei could certainly sense that.

By now, Lin Fei was pretty sure these people were after him, having inadvertently dragged Shen Peini into the situation.

Truth be told, he couldn’t help feeling a slight pang of guilt.

Somehow, Lin Fei’s words and that harmless faint smile suddenly calmed down Shen Peini’s agitated state of mind.

Her hand, which had been reaching into her bag for her phone, slowly withdrew.

Subconsciously, Shen Peini was willing to trust Lin Fei, believing he could handle the two cars behind them.

If Shen Peini’s previous sentiment towards Lin Fei was one of curiosity mixed with a bit of fondness, her feelings now were tinged with a subtle sense of trust amidst her curiosity.

Naturally, Lin Fei was unaware of the qualitative change in the woman’s feelings towards him in just a few minutes; he was entirely focused on dealing with the two cars behind them.

The reason Lin Fei had allowed the two cars to follow was that there were too many cameras in the urban area, and it was easy to get caught on camera if anything happened.

Additionally, there were many other vehicles on the road, which could easily lead to collateral damage.

Now that they had left the city area, Lin Fei was free to act.
