Chapter 96 - The Chase

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While Mo Zhu returned to the hospital to take care of Zhang Fen, Huo Xuan wasn’t idling either. He brought Xu Huan and Mo Jiu to Beijing to handle some matters today. He didn’t expect that he almost died there before completing his matters.

On the empty highway, an off-road vehicle drove at high speed. Behind the off-road vehicle, there were more than a dozen luxury cars chasing closely. Both parties had stepped on their accelerator to the limit, and neither side was willing to be outdone.

The cars were driving at very tricky angles. There were a few times where they almost surrounded the off-road vehicle. If not for Xu Huan’s driving skills, he would have been stopped by the people chasing after him!

After driving for a few more minutes in anxiety, the cars redesigned their plan in trying to surround the off-road vehicle and started a new round of pincer attacks. Xu Huan cursed softly and stepped hard on the accelerator again.

“Mo Jiu, how’s Brother Huo’s condition? Is his life in danger?” Xu Huan acutely observed the direction of the car behind him through the rearview mirror as he turned to look at Mo Jiu, who was in the backseat.

Mo Jiu was also at his wits’ end as he worried about Huo Xuan’s condition. In the battle in the evening, Huo Xuan had accidentally gotten hit by the other party’s concealed weapon in order to break out of the encirclement. That flower-shaped blade that looked like a dagger could not be taken out of the man’s shoulder.

Moreover, the most surprising thing was that the weapon had been soaked in an unknown poison. Originally, the poison in Huo Xuan’s body was so strong that it could neutralize ordinary poison. However, ever since Mo Zhu started treating him, the poison in his body had already been controlled. Now that he had suffered another blow, the poison was directly triggered and it had erupted in his body.

Mo Jiu was sitting in the back seat of the off-road vehicle. He pressed down on Huo Xuan’s bleeding wound tightly with his hand. He looked up at Xu Huan with a grave expression and shouted, “Young Master Xu, if we don’t get treatment soon, even if Young Master’s poison is controlled, his body won’t be able to bear the excessive blood loss!”

After a pause, Mo Jiu said worriedly, “Young Master Xu, this hidden weapon has been inserted into Young Master’s body, seriously blocking the healing of Young Master’s wound. The only solution now is to find a hospital to take this out for him!”

When Xu Huan heard this, his eyes were bloodshot. He glanced coldly at the enemy in the rearview mirror who was chasing after him relentlessly and roared softly, “Do you think I don’t want to find the hospital as soon as possible? I already told Brother Huo to take a detour to Sea City, but he refused to listen to me and you didn’t even help me persuade him. Great! Now, I can’t go back even if I want to!”

In the evening, in order to break through the encirclement with him and Mo Jiu, Huo Xuan didn’t hesitate to use himself as bait to lure the pursuers away. Unexpectedly, he was caught off guard and injured by a hidden weapon. When Huo Xuan was still conscious, Xu Huan had suggested heading to Sea City to treat his wounds. Unexpectedly, Huo Xuan refused and insisted on him driving back to Cloud City.

Furthermore, he had just received a call from his people from the Huo family in Cloud City’s Central Hospital. They said that Mo Zhu’s grandmother, Zhang Fen, had been kidnapped by an unknown criminal and there had been no news of her.

If Xu Huan’s guess was right, Cloud City was also filled with danger and not safe at the moment. Xu Huan slammed the steering wheel and suppressed the anxiety in his heart. “I can’t care so much anymore. I’ll try my best to take the small path and shake off these people as much as I can. You have to protect Huo Xuan as much as possible so that he doesn’t suffer too much from the jolts and bumps and bleed too much! We’ll talk when we reach Cloud City!”

Just as Xu Huan finished speaking, he steered the off-road vehicle and made a big turn and drove on the small road under the highway. He continued the pressure on the accelerator under his feet and looked for roads that were not easy to maneuver through. This action of his really got rid of a lot of cars chasing them.

This off-road vehicle had been meticulously modified by an expert Huo Xuan had found in the car industry a few years ago. Apart from looking like an off-road vehicle on the surface, the interior had already been completely changed.

In the past, Huo Xuan always drove this car when he went out on errands. This car had good performance and was waterproof and bulletproof. Even if he encountered pursuers, the probability of surviving the fight was higher than ordinary cars.

Finally, after making countless turns, Xu Huan finally saw the entrance of Cloud City, the intersection of the road in front of him. He took a deep breath and turned the steering wheel twice, and the off-road vehicle steadily returned to the main road.

Almost at the instant the car drove onto the main road, Xu Huan’s sharp eyes saw more than ten unknown men in black standing at the intersection holding weapons. His expression darkened indiscernibly as he rose the partition between the driver’s seat and the back seat. Xu Huan lowered the car window a little.

Seeing that a car was about to enter Cloud City, one of the few people standing at the entrance who looked even more ferocious walked straight towards Xu Huan. Standing outside the car window, he asked arrogantly, “Who are you? Why are you entering Cloud City in the middle of the night?”

Seeing the other party’s nasty attitude, Xu Huan was also very anxious. “We’re from the Huo family of Cloud City. Hurry up and open the door and let us in!”

They had originally thought that the other party would let them go on account of the Huo family, but they didn’t expect the person to ignore Xu Huan at all. “I don’t care whose family you are from. Tonight, Master Ke has orders that no one is allowed to enter Cloud City without his permission!”

At that moment, a violent cough came from the back seat. The thick smell of blood instantly filled the entire car. Xu Huan turned his head and was about to ask Mo Jiu about his condition, but before he could speak, Mo Jiu shouted anxiously, “Not good, Young Master Xu. Young Master is vomiting blood.. We have to go to the hospital quickly!”
