Chapter Eighteen: The Car Accident

  That big fat man hesitated for a moment, and Xu Mo's heart tightened involuntarily.

  Fortunately, the big fat man hesitated for a moment and finally refused. Little Chen asked several more people, but no one was willing to exchange either.

  Xiao Chen glared at Xu Mo and them, then reluctantly got off the car. Ma Wu followed him down, handing him a cigarette as he said calmly, "Don't worry, they won't get away."

  Xiao Chen took the cigarette and tucked it behind his ear, worriedly saying: "I'm afraid they'll do something on the way, with you here, I can keep an eye on things a bit, but now that no one is supervising, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

  Ma Wu sneered with a smile, his face full of disdain. "Heh heh, creating an unexpected situation, do they dare to set fire on the car or jump off and escape? Even if they jump off and escape, no matter how fast they run, can they outrun an off-road vehicle?"

  Xiao Chen nodded and said, "It's the only way." Then he thought of something else, "On the way back, the off-road vehicle will have an accident. This rumor, I don't know who spread it out? It's harming these people who are afraid to take that car now."

  Ma Wudao said: "This is also not their fault, who let Old Li drive the car and accidentally turn into the ditch?"

  Xiao Chen let out a "huh" and said no more, the two returned to the off-road vehicle. Xiao Chen pushed Lao Li to sit in the passenger seat, and he drove himself. The car followed behind the bus, also keeping an eye on Xu Mo and Liu Qian's movements, in case they jumped off the bus and escaped, out of sight.

  Xu Mo poked his head out of the window and looked at the off-road vehicle, but saw that the driver had changed to Xiao Chen. He couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart and thought: Will this sudden change affect the final result? Can the content hinted at by the Book of Revelation be changed? What if it can be changed? Originally, the driver of the off-road vehicle was going to have an accident due to some reason, but now that he has suddenly been replaced by this Chen guy, will the accident still happen? If the accident doesn't happen, won't all his arrangements be in vain?

  The mood suddenly became heavy, with inexplicable worries.

  At this time, Liu Gan came over and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xu, what are you really planning? Now I just realized that you let Zhao Hongzhe and others spread rumors, it was to drive all three of them with the surname Chen onto the off-road vehicle. But I don't understand, what's the use of driving them onto the off-road vehicle? Could it be that the off-road vehicle will really have an accident like the rumor said?"

  He paused for a moment, his voice dropping even lower, "Or was it before that, did you do something to the car? Did you loosen the screws on the tire and let it slip off halfway? Or did you put nails on the tire and make it burst halfway? Or did you mess with its engine and make it break down on the road?"

  Xu Mo was taken aback by the words, he actually hadn't done anything, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel some regret. If he had discussed it with Liu Qian beforehand, wouldn't it have been more secure to make some moves on the off-road vehicle?

  It's just that now it's too late for regrets.

  He looked back at the off-road vehicle again, and then thought: Why did that car have an accident in the first place? Was it because of Old Li? What did Old Li do? Yesterday he almost crashed into himself because he mistakenly took the Dream Powder and had hallucinations. If he could give the Dream Powder to this Chen guy and create a car accident, it wouldn't be difficult.

  But what method can be used to make Chen take the fantasy powder, he has no idea at all. Moreover, even if Chen is allowed to take the fantasy powder, it must be taken while driving, which makes it even more difficult to achieve.

  He shook his head and sighed quietly. The two vehicles started at the same time, with the bus in front and the off-road vehicle following closely behind.

  "What should we do?" Liu Qian asked again.

  Xu Mo didn't know how to respond for the time being and could only vaguely reply: "Let's observe for a while longer before saying anything."

  Frequently turning back to look, watching that off-road vehicle. The two cars soon left the square, hiding on the mountain road, heading out.

  Soon after, the bus passed over a bridge that was tens of meters wide and over a hundred meters long, spanning a mountain valley below. The valley was twenty to thirty meters deep with cliffs on both sides.

  The bridge's two sides have only over one meter high railings, extremely dangerous. If the car is driven fast and not careful, it may crash through the railing and possibly fall into the valley below, resulting in a fatal accident.

  Xu Mo took a glance down into the valley, where the bottom was filled with jagged rocks and dense thickets of weeds and trees. The rocks were sharp and had clear-cut edges, while the weeds and trees were lush and luxuriant, connecting with the rocks to form an almost impenetrable barrier that left no room for landing. If one fell from the bridge, even if they didn't land on the rocks, falling into the thickets of weeds and trees would still result in severe injury, if not death.

  Even if you're lucky enough not to get hurt, there's no road at the bottom of the valley, and it's not easy to get out either.

  No wonder: was that accident originally supposed to happen here? The off-road vehicle passed over the bridge and crashed into the guardrail, overturning into the valley.

  Looking back, that little Chen drove very steadily, not at all like he was going to have an accident, and his heart became disappointed again.

  Liu Qian looked out the window and saw the terrain of the valley, sighing: "If we fell from here, the people in the car would definitely die. What a pity! What a pity!"

  Xu Mo didn't respond, silently praying that something unexpected would happen to Little Chen, causing him to steer the car into a valley.

  Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, Little Chen safely drove the car over the stone bridge.

  After passing the stone bridge, there is a fairly flat mountain road, about three or four miles long. On this section of the road, the possibility of a car accident is not great, and even if an accident occurs, it's unlikely to be fatal. Perhaps losing hope, he turned his head around.

  After this mountain road, turn a corner and get on the winding mountain road. The winding mountain road is adjacent to the cliff, which is actually a high incidence of car accidents, so Xu Mo can only pin his hopes on this section of the winding mountain road.

  As they approached the bend, Xu Mo turned his head back again to look at the scene on the off-road vehicle, which looked just like before, everything seemed normal.

  The people on the off-road vehicle also seemed to relax and start talking. It can be seen that although they were previously on the surface, they were still affected by rumors and had some worries.

  Xiao Chen took down the cigarette that was originally tucked behind his ear and put it to his mouth. Old Li helped him light it up.

  "If nothing happens on Pan Shan Road, it will be even less likely to happen after passing Pan Shan Road. If they don't die, the two of us will be in trouble."

  Xu Mo nodded, and his heart also became anxious. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why the car accident happened. He wanted to think of a way to cause the accident, but in a short period of time, he had no idea at all.

  The bus turned quickly around the bend and was hidden by a cliff face. The off-road vehicle behind could no longer be seen.

  Liu Qian glanced at Xu Mo's face, vaguely guessing something, and said with a bad expression: "Haven't thought of a way yet? If we still can't think of a way, it's better to jump off the car and escape. Otherwise, when the car goes down the mountain, Chen's arranged people will probably come too."

  Xu Mo fell silent for a moment, "In this situation, getting off the bus and running away, how can we escape?"

  Liu Qian glanced up at the rock wall and said with a sigh, "In the worst case, we'll head into the mountains. His off-road vehicle can't possibly drive into the mountains. If they abandon their car to chase us on foot, there are two of us against three of them. Two against one group is still better than two against a whole crowd."

  "If they didn't have any weapons, it would be fine, but what if they had guns and other firearms? Running into the mountains would only make things more dangerous. Don't forget about Zhao's black hawk, once we enter the mountains, they'll use that bird to search for us, there won't even be a place to hide."

  Liu Qian said indignantly: "What do you think we should do? We can't just wait to die like this, can we?"

  After a moment's thought, he really came up with a plan, which was something he had learned from gangster movies. "If all else fails, we'll just have to get into a fight with the people in the car and call the police over to take us to the station."

  Liu Qian suddenly understood and clapped his hands in delight, saying: "Wonderful! This is a great way to get out of this situation. No matter how powerful these people are, they wouldn't dare to rob the police openly on the road."

  He paused, thought of something else, and started to worry, "But doing so can only solve the temporary problem. We're stuck in the police station, they'll have more time to set up outside. When we come out of the police station after they've set up, it will be even harder for us to escape. Do we still need to fight with the police and get detained for a few more days?"

  As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Even if they lock us up, it's not safe. They will definitely think of ways to send a few people to commit some crimes and get in, then take care of us inside the prison."

  "Let's take it one step at a time."

  Liu Qian continued: "I'll take a look, we want to hit which one, it's best to find a weak point to start with, so we won't be at a disadvantage when fighting."

  As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at other people in the bus, and actually found someone to pick on.

  Xu Mo almost lost his composure, and reminded them: "Instead of finding a weak point to attack, why not find Zhao Hongzhe and the others, tell them in advance, and see if they can cooperate? When the police take us back to the city, let them turn around and say it was just a dispute between friends. The police might let us go halfway, after all, they don't want to get involved either. And we can take advantage of the opportunity to escape."

  Liu Qian slapped his thigh, "Great! I'll go tell them right away."

  He said this with too much excitement and accidentally spoke louder than he intended, causing others to curiously turn their heads to watch.

  Liu Qian cleared his throat a few times, pretending to be nonchalant, and when the others turned their faces away, he was about to get up from his seat and walk in the direction of Zhao Hongzhe and the others.

  But at this moment, a loud crash suddenly came from the back of the car. Turning around to look, that off-road vehicle somehow accelerated and crashed into the mountain wall like crazy, with its front end caved in, rushing towards the cliff at an angle, sliding out of the cliff and falling straight down.
