Chapter 55 - 54: Bandits (Part 3)
"Keep your head down, and don’t you dare lift it without my permission." Having said that, he flicked out the pistol he had snatched from Xia Mutong, casually ejected the magazine—eight bullets remaining, more than enough.
"What are you trying to do?"
Nanrong Wanqing was not someone unfamiliar with the world, but Ling Chen’s actions still took her by surprise. Recalling the questions he had asked earlier for no apparent reason, she felt somewhat uneasy. Furthermore, she was quite unhappy about this situation. As her employee, wasn’t his duty supposed to be protecting her? Why was he meddling in things like rescuing someone—a job meant for the police? Hmph, she would make him pay for this once they were back.
However, although this was what the young miss was thinking, deep down inside, her opinion of Ling Chen began to shift slightly. The fact that Ling Chen was willing to take such risks to save someone with no relation to him was extraordinary, a trait not found in ordinary people.
Ling Chen cracked a smile and gave her a reassuring look: "Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger."
As soon as his words fell, his left hand, which was resting on the steering wheel, quickly turned it, causing the car, which had been moving forward, to swerve to the left. Then, he pulled the handbrake, shifted into reverse, and hit the gas pedal hard.
Screech, screech, screech!
Accompanied by the grating sound of the tires, the Santana executed a perfect drift, spinning around so that the rear faced forward, its front end now perfectly aligned with the oncoming Mercedes-Benz van.
Seizing the moment, he switched hands: his right hand took control of the steering wheel, and his left hand holding the gun extended out of the window.
Bang!
