Chapter 685 Pursued by Four Cars

The car did not stop but swayed more and more sharply, like driving at high speed around S–curves.

Kisa’s stomach churned because of the constant sideways motions. She grabbed her seatbelt and subconsciously looked over at Gilbert, only to see him staring straight ahead, his hands rapidly turning the steering wheel. She knew something was wrong when she saw his face tense and focused. Kisa did not dare to disturb him but sat up straight with difficulty and looked in the rearview mirror.

What she saw stunned her. Four cars were chasing them from behind. Two of the cars caught up and kept hitting their cars from behind as if to force them to stop. Kisa took a quick look at her surroundings. They were still in the countryside, with no people or houses around, not even a small village. Kisa looked in the rearview mirror again and saw the four cars coming at them from all directions. She could clearly see a few bodyguard–like men sitting inside a car. She subconsciously shrunk back and used her hands to shield her face as she saw the car sway toward her.

Just then, she heard Gilbert’s grave voice. “Sit tight!”

Immediately after, she felt the car lurching and then heard a loud bang as if it had hit something. But the car did not slow down in the slightest. Kisa hugged herself and buried her head in her knees, feeling like she was being shaken out of her consciousness. A few seconds later, the car was still driving fast, but there was no more aggressive maneuvering than before. It now drove at a steady speed.

She took a breath and carefully removed her hands. The cars that ran parallel next to them were out of sight. She hurriedly looked in the rearview mirror again. Only to see two of the cars had crashed in the field, one stopped across the middle of the road, and one had crashed into the guardrail of the channel. Her heart was still pounding wildly.

“Are the killers still coming after us?” she asked.

“Not for a while.”

Kisa was a little worried. “We won’t get to Hillsby until the day after tomorrow. What if the killers catch up with us again in the next two days?”

Gilbert looked grave. “We need to shake them off for good.”

“What do you have in mind?”

Gilbert clenched his jaw and pursed his lips, saying nothing.

Sometime after 2:00 p.m., he stopped the car on the side of the road. Kisa looked at the map and saw that the drive would take them through a small town for another two hours. It was dangerous to drive at night, and Gilbert was tired of driving. If they did get to that town before dark, the odds were they would spend the night there.

Seeing that Gilbert was getting out of the car, she subconsciously asked, “Where are you going?”

Gilbert gave her a look and let out an evil smile. “I’m taking a leak. Do you want to join me?”

Kisa took a breath and scoffed at him. “Rascal.”

Gilbert laughed. “I’m a rascal? Then there must be many rascals in the world.”

Kisa did not tangle with him but took the snacks in the back seat and ate. One good thing about this countryside was that there were public toilets at every distance, and she had already visited one earlier, so she did not need to use it this time.

Gilbert walked to a large tree on the ridge to take a leak. When Kisa glanced at him, he had already finished the business and looked over her way. Their eyes collided.
