Chapter 3961: Chapter 3961: He’s Also a Ruthless Person

The Red Alliance and the reclusive family had no ties, and when Guan Yan learned that Lu Zhi and Shadow had both left early, he only ordered people to pursue Shadow.

...

At this moment.

On the pitch-black road, a black sedan was careening wildly, narrowly missing roadside barriers several times. Behind its frenzied behavior were seven or eight cars honking madly in pursuit.

The driver was terrified, his complexion ash-gray, constantly pressing the accelerator, his eyes occasionally glancing back, his mouth incessantly speaking: "They’re catching up! What do we do? We’re about to be caught."

Shadow cursed viciously and ruthlessly: "Shut up!"

The man quieted down for a few seconds, but as the light from the rearview mirror approached closer, he once again fell into a panic.

"Lord Shadow, they’re catching up to us! Think of something."

"They’re almost here!"

"What should we do?"

Shadow, annoyed by the noise, covered his eyes from the glaring light, his face extremely grim as he stared ahead, calmly commanding: "Don’t worry about them, just drive straight ahead. There’s a river up ahead. Open all the windows, and soon accelerate into it!"

"...Drive, drive, drive into the river??" The man’s breath was ragged upon hearing this; his fear-stricken face turned exceedingly pale in an instant.

"If you want to survive, do as I say." As Shadow spoke, he unbuckled his seatbelt, preparing to jump out whenever necessary.

The man roughly understood their predicament, gritting his teeth as he followed Shadow’s orders when the car reached the bend near the river.

Suddenly accelerating forward, the black sedan smashed through the road barrier and flew into the river.

"Splash!" The sound of the heavy fall into the water attracted a lot of attention, many passing cars stopped, and people crowded towards the riverbank.

Meanwhile, several cars sent by Guan Yan arrived one after another, parked by the roadside, and immediately got out to check towards the river.

The windows of the black sedan were opened, and the moment it hit the water, the river rushed inside, the weight of the water quickening the speed at which the river devoured the sedan.

When Guan Yan’s people hurried over, they only saw part of the car roof still exposed on the river surface; the car body had already sunk into the rapid river, not visible anymore.

The sky was so dark, the water flow below was rushing.

The leader stopped the companions who were about to dive in to search, speaking in a low voice: "It’s too dangerous for you to go down there. Besides, if they wanted to flee, they must have abandoned the car the instant it hit the water. Let’s search the opposite riverbank!"

With that said.

The group swiftly returned to their cars, driving seven or eight vehicles towards the opposite riverbank.

The crowd by the river realized the car that dashed into the river wasn’t because of an accident, but involved in a dispute.

All being afraid of getting entangled, they lost interest in spectating and drove away.

...

On the other side.

Shadow had already nimbly climbed up the riverbank, not bothering about the man who hadn’t reached the shore yet, checked the weapon strapped at his waist, and steadily moved away from the vicinity.

He was well aware that it would take only a few minutes for the Red Alliance to reach there, and if he didn’t leave, he might soon find himself unable to escape.

As for whether the man who fled with him could escape successfully, it wasn’t his concern! All those years beside Nie Qingru had taught him how to be cold-hearted, only caring for his own safety.

Despite being decisive enough to unbuckle his seatbelt early and open the car window, the impact of hitting the water still fractured one of his ribs, causing him to be dripping wet while the hand over his waist could feel the intense pain from the injured rib.
