Chapter 702: Chapter 690
Lu Xiao agreed to her request and pulled her away from the beach.
Taxis were hard to find around there, so he slowly drove the scooter, which could get them back in an hour.
But just after the two turned to leave, the faces of the people by the boats changed suddenly, and someone quickly pulled out a mobile phone to make a call to someone.
Beijing was crowded with cars and people, and motorcycles were even restricted; normally, it was better to travel by car.
Wen Xian clung to Lu Xiao’s waist, her helmeted head resting against his back, the scenery was quite beautiful as they rode along the highway at dusk, everything seemed as usual.
But while Lu Xiao was driving seriously, about twenty minutes later, he suddenly noticed a silver van in the rearview mirror of the scooter.
Under the black helmet, Lu Xiao’s colder eyes narrowed a bit.
The van had appeared at an intersection, and had been following them for over five minutes.
Coming down from the winding roads of the island, ahead was a traffic light intersection.
The purple twilight was segmented by the crisscrossing wires on the telephone poles, adding a sense of life to the streets filled with varying vehicles and pedestrians.
Lu Xiao stopped the motorcycle at the red light, his eyes under the helmet still watching the driver in the van behind them through the rearview mirror.
The driver was a local, his face stern, with a thin, dark person sitting in the passenger seat.
However, when Lu Xiao looked, he met the gaze of the person in the passenger seat.
That person was staring at them.
Then, Lu Xiao turned slightly and said something to Wen Xian behind him, prompting her to hug his waist tightly.
“Ready? I’m going to speed up.”
He didn’t tell Wen Xian that they were being followed, only that there was something he needed to deal with, and they needed to hurry back.
Then, the red light disappeared, and the green light lit up.
The scooter instantly took off, crossing the road, and the van behind them immediately followed, relentlessly chasing.
But this time, Lu Xiao’s route was unusual, specifically choosing roads crowded with cars. The scooter swiftly weaved through traffic, speeding up significantly.
Lu Xiao still trusted his driving skills.
Wen Xian, on the other hand, trusted him completely, clinging to him, committing herself fully to him.
The van kept up a relentless pursuit, especially after apparently realizing they had been spotted, so they brazenly chased them, causing a continuous blaring of horns on the street.
But in the midst of the chase, the motorcycle suddenly disappeared. By the time the scooter reappeared, there was only one person left on it.
The man riding the motorcycle.
Even so, they could only follow the man still in front of them, as he was the actual target.
The downside of the small motorcycle was its limited speed, and just then, a large truck suddenly emerged from another intersection, its turn signal blinking, preparing to turn.
But it also happened to block the way.
A sinister smile appeared on the face of the person in the passenger seat of the silver van, thinking they were about to catch him.
But his smile quickly faded.
The little scooter showed no signs of slowing down but instead accelerated, heading straight for the body of the large truck—
