1040 What a Coincidence!

The dark village up ahead, the narrow road, and a car blocking any route of retreat.

With darkness surrounding the car, there was no one but a man sitting beside her amidst the howling winds. As a woman, as someone who was rather rich and pretty, Xu Xun really felt a little afraid! She subconsciously looked down at the SOS button, picked up her cell phone, and said to Ma Yuan, "Ma Yuan, look back."

Ma Yuan turned his head and heard the sound of a camera click. Xu Xun had taken a photo as she smiled. "It's my first time accompanying an employee back to his hometown. I'll post a picture on my WeChat Moments to show off." With that said, Xu Xun smiled.

Ma Yuan only found Xu Xun completely different from her usual self. She usually acted like she had the power of a thunderbolt and did things at the speed of lightning. She exuded a potent aura, but today, she was like a mouse hiding from a cat. Whatever she said and did sounded nervous.

Xu Xun secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ma Yuan didn't object to it. This was firstly a test to see if Ma Yuan had anything fishy planned. Secondly, it was to warn him that she had already posted on her WeChat Moments, allowing many friends to see it. If he did anything, or god forbid anything should happen to her, there would be no way for him to run.

Yet, she was simply suffering from a bout of overthinking things. Xu Xun heaved a sigh of relief when Ma Yuan didn't do anything.

At that moment…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was knocking on the car door.

Xu Xun turned her head and saw a black object leaning against the glass beside her!

She subconsciously leaned close as the object leaned close as well, plastering itself on the glass. It was extremely distorted!

Xu Xun felt goosebumps all over as she nearly screamed.

At this moment, the distorted object retreated before there was a shout. "Ma Yuan, so it's you! Holy sh*t, punk, nicely done! You drove back in a BMW! You are more impressive than me!"

When Ma Yuan heard that, he opened the door before Xu Xun could stop him. Then he said with a laugh, "Tan Ming? You came back as well?"

"That's right. I rushed back to drink the Laba Congee. Hehe, after drinking it last year, I didn't feel any fatigue the entire year. I was filled with energy over the past year and was ranked first in the company! I insisted on returning today to have a bowl. But before I could enter the village, your car was already blocking the way. Why did you stop here? It's really narrow here. Who's in the car? I've never seen her before…"

With that said, Tan Ming's brows pricked up as he flashed a look of displeasure. He circled around the BMW and came to Ma Yuan's side, wrapped his arm around his shoulder, and yanked him to the side, whispering in a warning manner. "Punk, you better behave! I know you have been doing well the past year, but you are someone with a family. You have a wife and a child! Don't go astray because of a rich woman. If you do anything immoral, don't blame me for not warning you. Without your dad even needing to do a thing, my dad will probably break your legs!"

Ma Yuan was puzzled. Hence, he explained his relationship with Xu Xun, as well as his reason for coming.

With the two whispering to each other in a mysterious manner, it left Xu Xun nervous again. She thought, "The two of them are in cahoots after all! Are they secretly discussing robbing me? Or are they planning to rob me of both my wealth and chastity?

"What will I do if they really take action? Should I call the police now? Or should I just spend the money to buy peace?"

As her mind was filled with random thoughts, Xu Xun hurriedly closed the door. This resulted in the duo looking over subconsciously. Xu Xun smiled and gestured that she was cold. The two nodded before they continued talking in secret…

Upon seeing this, Xu Xun hurriedly locked the doors. Looking behind her, she knew that it was impossible to drive back. Looking at the dark village in front of her, she clenched her teeth and mumbled. "It's still a path no matter how dark it is. I don't know if there's any evil ahead, but the two guys beside me are likely evil!"

At this thought, Xu Xun pressed the SOS button. She had thought it through. She would rather make a false cry for help than suffer. At the same time, she pressed down on the accelerator. With a whirl, the car jolted and…

The BMW remained still!

Xu Xun was instantly dumbfounded. She tried reigniting the engine, but the car didn't come to life. Only then did she realize that the engine was dead!

"How is this possible? I just sent it for maintenance recently! Why is it dead? There's only the village up ahead, and the path behind me has been blocked. The car has to break down right when there are two men beside me? How can there be so many coincidences? From the looks of it, I was careless. Something bad is really going to happen!" Xu Xun was truly at a loss.

Xu Xun's pressing down on the accelerator also gave the two men a fright. They subconsciously looked back and slowly walked over. As Ma Yuan walked, he asked, "Manager Xu, what's wrong?"

Tan Ming waved at Xu Xun and shouted. "Heh? The car is dead?"

Seeing the two men walk over from behind, Xu Xun's heart tightened. She opened the car door and ran without turning her head!

This action left the duo dumbfounded. Ma Yuan subconsciously cried out. "Manager Xu, where are you going?"

Xu Xun subconsciously answered, "I need to relieve myself. Don't come over!"

With this shout, Ma Yuan and Tan Ming, who were planning to chase after her, stopped immediately. Xu Xun turned back and thought, "Was it a misunderstanding?"

At this moment, Ma Yuan and Tan Ming found it too cold outside. They planned on sitting in the car. Tan Ming was quite the slippery one. Seeing such a good car, he took the chance to sit in the driver's seat to experience the feeling of being in a luxury car.

When Xu Xun saw this, she sneered. "So you are after my car! Very good! There's a location tracker on it. Once the police come, you'll be taught a lesson!"

Just as she laughed, a cold gust of wind blew at her. She shivered and realized that her down jacket was still in the car! She had forgotten to take it with her in her haste. Immediately, she wore a wry look. What was she to do? Return to the car to take it? She didn't dare! Wait for the police to come? But when would they arrive? If the two bandits were to discover that and rush over to restrain her, money might not be the only thing she would end up losing.

Seeing the dark village up ahead, Xu Xun thought, "There's barking ahead. There must be people there! I'll hide in someone's house and wait for the police."

At that moment, Xu Xun saw the door open. The two bandits had alighted at the same time and were running towards her! They were quite a distance from each other. With the illumination from the car lights, all she could see was a black silhouette in the darkness! The two seemed to be waving their hands at her, shouting.

However, due to the distance and the loud northeastern winds, their shouts were drowned.

Seeing the two chasing after her, Xu Xun's heart tightened. She turned around and ran, thinking, "Don't think you can fool me! I'd rather die on the streets than return!"

At the same time, Xu Xun began to take out her cell phone to call the police!

The moment she took out her cell phone and pressed the number…
