Chapter 1740: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (10)
Qiao Yiyi dodged the rain of bullets from the sniper’s rifles. Watching the bullets fly past her, she took cover in the crowd.
As the police, of course they couldn’t shoot into the crowd, hence Qiao Yiyi was safe for the moment.
With her head lowered, she moved forward.
Her sports car was parked near the entrance of the compound, it wouldn’t take her long to get to it. Hence, a safe escape was no big deal.
But just at this point…
Screech!
A car came to a screeching halt in front of her, almost crashing into her.
Qiao Yiyi froze for a moment, wondering if this time the police had managed to react quickly.
But as the thought crossed her mind, the car door swung open. She turned around, ready to take flight, when someone grabbed her arm. This was followed by a familiar voice that said, “Get in!”
Qiao Yiyi: …
She turned around in astonishment and saw Lu Nanze in the driver seat.
She narrowed her eyes and got into the front passenger seat without a moment of delay.
The moment she was in the seat, he started the car up and sped away.
Behind them, the police finally appeared, watching helplessly as they got away.
–
Looking at their getaway vehicle, Qiao Yiyi remarked, “An ordinary Volkswagen sedan. Lu Nanze, since when do you have this car?”
He coughed slightly at this remark and clarified, “It’s not mine.”
He usually drove his own vehicle over, but he had known that if he took her away in that car, he would get trouble. Hence he had to use someone else’s car.
She was surprised and asked, “Whose is it then? You have a friend with this type of car?”
Lu Nanze was stumped for a moment.
Qiao Yiyi thought for a moment and it dawned on her. “Damn, don’t tell me you stole just any car parked on the street?”
The man retorted, “What do you mean stole? I’m just borrowing it and will return it once I’m done with it.”
Qiao Yiyi: …
Qiao Yiyi grimaced and couldn’t help teasing him, “Lu Nanze, I didn’t think we were actually in the same profession! And I have to add, you’re quite skillful at it.”
She spoke triumphantly as she assessed the state of the vehicle.
As she said this, the car took a sharp and sudden turn ahead. Lu Nanze floored the accelerator on purpose, causing Qiao Yiyi to hit her head against the side.
Qiao Yiyi: …
He started, “Sorry, slip of my foot.”
She stared at him and hissed, “Childish!”
Without another word, the man looked ahead and continued driving.
Qiao Yiyi twitched her lips and turned to look behind them.
Because the car had intervened very suddenly and had also left very suddenly and unexpectedly, even though there had been police cars surrounding the area, they had not managed to catch up.
She exclaimed, “Your driving skills are pretty impressive!”
He continued to stare ahead and said, “Uh huh. I rescued you.”
Qiao Yiyi: …!!
She twitched her lips again. Glaring at him, she opened her mouth.
She wanted to say that even if you hadn’t saved me, I could have escaped on my own.
But she decided against it and swallowed those words.
It would have been too heartless to say something like this to someone who had just rescued her.
But just as her heart softened, the man spoke, “You owe me two favors now. How are you going to thank me?”
She was flabbergasted. Immediately, she regretted being soft-hearted.
