CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: TWO MORE SHEEP FOUND

Debt relationship?

Fu Yuanxuan looked at the school gate for a long time before replying, "Keep watching, I’m leaving first."

After speaking, he adjusted his collar, pressed the hat on his head lower, covering most of his face, and left quickly.

On the other side.

Ye Tong gripped the handle inside the car nervously, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.

A newbie who got her driver’s license by pulling some strings dared to drive a brand-new off-road vehicle on the road the very next day—it’s like an old man hanging himself, wanting a long life.

"Sister Ning, even if we can’t get a plane ticket, we can take a high-speed train," Ye Tong closed her eyes tightly, as if not seeing the road ahead would comfort her into thinking she wasn’t in the car.

Ji Ning glanced at her, chuckled lightly, and said, "Can’t take it."

"Wh-why?"

"Open the glove compartment in front of you."

Ye Tong carefully opened her eyes, swallowed, pressed the button to open the compartment door with one hand, and after seeing its contents clearly, she instantly closed the compartment in fright.

Her eyes widened, and she stammered, "Sis...Sis...Sister Ning...that...that...what is that?"

Ji Ning remained calm: "Your weapon."

Ye Tong had a "you’re crazy" expression, her heart almost jumping out of her throat, her voice suddenly raised: "Are you kidding?"

Ji Ning glanced at her again, "Before entering Nanling, it’s best to learn how to use it."

"How is that possible? That is..." Ye Tong stopped mid-sentence, as if she suddenly thought of something. Her voice halted abruptly, and then she looked out the car window like a thief, lowering her voice: "That’s a prohibited item."

"I’ve had the brat check it. You can use it in Nanling."

"Even if that’s the case in Nanling, why do you have it now? If we’re caught with it, we will be in deep trouble."

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow slightly, "Bought it."

"Bought it? That’s crazy. How could someone sell such a thing in Anhe City? That’s...that." Ye Tong didn’t dare finish her sentence.

Ji Ning looked at her timid expression and chuckled again, "Don’t you want to play the War God anymore?"

"Does it matter?"

"Playing the War God but never having touched the War God’s weapon, hmm?"

Ye Tong immediately thought of Director Lin’s unfinished sentence—could it be that she lost the lead actress role because she’d never handled a weapon?

"But..."

"It’s fake, just play with it." Ji Ning decided not to scare her for now.

The weapon was real, but it had no ammunition, and the safety pin was off.

Ye Tong instantly breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at her, "My god, are you trying to scare me to death?" After speaking, she reopened the glove compartment, and with bravado, reached in to touch it.

Let’s just say the feel was much better than the props from the film crew.

She had a good relationship with a prop master from a previous crew and had played with props he made before, but the feel was far inferior to this.

Ye Tong’s courage grew, and she took out the weapon from the glove compartment, examining it closely. It really did look realistic, like the real weapons she had seen in documentaries.

"Sister Ning, where did you get this? I want to buy a few too, so I can practice action scenes at home."

"Not easy to buy. You just use it for now."

Ye Tong was quite pleased, foolishly lifting the weapon to aim.

It’s fortunate there weren’t many cars on this road, or people might have been scared to death.

"Eh? What’s this?"

"A safety pin."

"What’s it for?"

"Prevents misfiring."

"Even this was made, it’s so realistic."

"Mm."

Ye Tong played with the weapon all the way until they were about to enter a service station.

"Put it away, we’re entering a service station," Ji Ning reminded.

Ye Tong quickly put it back into the glove compartment and locked it.

In a hurry to get on the road, the two simply bought fast food at the service station, six hamburgers and a bottle of soda.

Ye Tong ate half; Ji Ning, five and a half.

Sometimes Ye Tong feared Ji Ning would hurt her stomach from eating too much and tried to control her food intake.

"I’m going to buy a bag of hawthorn strips." After throwing away the trash, Ye Tong, carrying her small backpack, ran off to the service station’s supermarket to buy something.

With Ye Tong gone, a man wearing a baseball cap in a nearby car had a thoughtful look.

"Lao San, we’ve found two more lambs, let’s take them together."

On the other side.

Ye Tong, entering the supermarket, accidentally bumped into a sophisticated woman about to exit.

"Sorry, I didn’t see you."

"No worries." The woman exuded a remarkable aura and had a pleasant voice.

Ye Tong made a point of taking a few more glances at her, her eyes filled with a hint of envy.

This woman must have a very good family background; the coat she was wearing probably cost as much as Ye Tong’s yearly salary, and her sports car, so wealthy...

Ye Tong shook her head, silently repeating Ji Ning’s Inspirational Quotes twice, and walked into the supermarket.

***

After leaving the service station, Ji Ning and Ye Tong continued driving according to the navigation.

Few ordinary people went to Nanling; only a few cars could be seen on the highway along the way, and at this moment, apart from their off-road vehicle, there were no other cars.

Ye Tong eating a hawthorn strip, laughed, "Feels like we’ve taken over this highway."

Ji Ning glanced at her and continued looking at the road ahead.

After more than ten minutes, as they passed an on-ramp for the highway, several modified motorcycles suddenly entered.

Ye Tong saw there were finally other people and happily looked back, until two of the motorcycles suddenly accelerated and glued themselves to their car. One of them had a person on the passenger seat holding a special metal rod aimed at her face.

"Oh my god—they are trying to do what?" Ye Tong reflexively leaned back.

A loud "thump" was heard, and a circle of the car window shattered.

Ye Tong was so scared she covered her head and heard a voice from the hole in the window: "Stop—"

The glass beside Ji Ning was the same, with a round hole poked out by someone.

Ji Ning pursed her lips, still calmly driving, even stepping on the accelerator to speed up.

But more and more motorbikes surrounded their off-road vehicle, and even three or four motorbikes moved in front, trying to force them to stop.

Suddenly—

The rear of the off-road vehicle was heavily hit.

Ye Tong’s head almost hit the glass.

Ji Ning immediately looked in the rearview mirror, seeing a modified small truck tailing them, preparing to ram again.

For Ye Tong’s safety, Ji Ning had no choice but to release the accelerator, coldly looking at the row of motorbikes ahead, "Grab the weapon."

Tightly gripping the safety handle, Ye Tong immediately understood her meaning. She frantically opened the glove compartment and pulled out the black weapon inside.

"Release the safety pin."

Ye Tong did as instructed, took a deep breath, rolled down the car window, and aimed the weapon at the motorbike rider parallel to them outside.

"Get lost, or don’t blame me for being merciless!"

The motorbike rider never expected these "two lambs waiting to be slaughtered" inside the car would have a lethal weapon, almost losing grip on the handlebars and reflexively stepping on the brake.

Ye Tong vaguely heard a shout in a walkie-talkie: "Quick, get out of the way, they have..."

Subsequently, the motorbikes and the truck in front and back started to slow down, distancing themselves from their off-road vehicle.

After completely shaking them off, Ye Tong’s tightly stretched nerves gradually relaxed, slumping back in the seat, "That scared me to death, they were probably trying to rob us."

Even before Ye Tong could catch her breath, she noticed a familiar luxury car parked not far by the roadside ahead.

"Sister Ning, stop the car!"
