Late at night, in this unfamiliar environment, Hong Momo felt as if her world was about to collapse. She had come out simply to gain some experience, but she hadn't anticipated the series of twists and turns she'd encountered. First, her fiancé had stood her up without warning, then she felt a veiled conspiracy—though Lin Tao hadn't stated it explicitly, Hong Momo instinctively suspected it was the case. And now, facing the prospect of spending the long night with this mysterious and slightly terrifying man, Hong Momo felt that even the most meticulously woven plot of a novelist couldn't possibly capture the bizarre circumstances she faced.

She had been thrown off balance by the sudden crisis, and now she realized that in her panic, she had lost her essential self-defense knife. Hong Momo bent down and carefully searched every corner of the car, but she couldn't find the familiar weapon.

A feeling of panic quietly grew in her heart. Helplessly, she could only take out the pepper spray she carried with her from her shirt pocket and hold it tightly. She did not dare to let her guard down for a moment and concentrated on facing this night full of unknowns.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

A hand, holding an object, reached out from the gap between the seats in front of her. Hong Momo raised her eyes in surprise and realized that it was the anti-wolf stun gun she had accidentally lost. At this moment, the strange man was playing with it, holding it in his hand.

Hong Momo's heartbeat instantly accelerated to a level that was almost unbearable. The violent throbbing made her worry that her heart might lose control and stop suddenly at any time.

She tightly gripped the pepper spray in her hand and tried her best to lean towards the back seat, silently praying in her heart that she could keep a greater distance from this man. As long as it was possible, she would never hesitate.

The man glanced at the stun gun in his hand with contempt and said, "This little thing may be okay for children, but if you want to use it to protect yourself, I'm afraid it won't be enough." As he said that, he put the stun gun close to his head and pressed the switch.

"Don't--!" Hong Momo was terrified. When she bought the product, the boss had specifically reminded her that this thing must never be brought near the head, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Bang--" Lin Tao simulated a gunshot. Hong Momo screamed in fright and instinctively closed her eyes, afraid to see the man fall down due to the electric shock.

"Hahahaha——" However, a cold and chilling laugh came from the front. Hong Momo opened her eyes carefully, only to see that the man was still sitting there unharmed, with the stun gun in his hand flashing red. It was obvious that this deadly weapon was completely ineffective against him.

"You've been tricked," Lin Tao said in a deep voice, throwing the so-called stun gun in his hand into the night sky, where it instantly disappeared into the darkness. Hong Momo stared nervously at the direction where the gun went, confusion and fear intertwined in her eyes.

"It's just a toy, fake," Lin Tao continued, closing the car window and turning up the heat. A surge of warmth instantly dispelled the chills in Hong Momo's body, bringing a touch of warmth. "It's still a while before daybreak, and the road ahead won't be repaired for a while. They'll let us know when it's open. Let's just stay here for the night."

After saying this, Lin Tao adjusted the driver's seat and leaned back. Hong Momo nimbly maneuvered herself behind the back of his chair, then took the seat behind the passenger seat. Lin Tao said nothing more, simply wrapping himself tightly in his clothes and lying quietly in the driver's seat. Despite his glasses, Hong Momo couldn't tell if he had closed his eyes. She carefully inched closer to the door handle, pressing herself against the door, but her gaze never relaxed, always vigilantly fixed on Lin Tao, who lay there peacefully, seemingly normal.

As the night deepened, the veil of darkness slowly enveloped the earth like a black silk cloth. In this quiet night, the distant snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands presented a unique beauty. Lying quietly in the night, gently caressed by moonlight and starlight, they appeared so peaceful and beautiful.

Amidst this picturesque scenery, Hong Momo had no heart to admire it. As the car trudged across the grasslands, her consciousness gradually faded, and she eventually fell into a deep sleep. She seemed to feel the car slowly stop, the roar of the engine echoing in the night sky, so abrupt and clear.

The spray in Hong Momo's hand, once her only comfort, slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground. Perhaps it was accumulated fatigue, or perhaps it was the long-term tension that had not yet subsided. After everything around her returned to silence, her consciousness began to gradually blur. As if weighed down by a heavy burden, her eyelids slowly closed and she sank into a deep sleep.

Time passed quietly. Hong Momo didn't know how much time had passed before she seemed to hear someone talking in her hazy state. She opened her eyes with all her strength, and the dazzling sunlight shone directly into her eyes through the car window.

She had to close her eyes for a while to adjust, then tried to open them again.

At this moment, she found herself still in the car, and the sun was already high in the sky outside the window.

Two people stood side by side outside the car. One was the mysterious man, always wearing sunglasses. Next to him stood a girl with short red hair, also wearing a tight red leather jacket and pants. With her back to her, Hong Momo couldn't see her face clearly. They were talking in low voices outside, and Hong Momo tried to listen but couldn't make out. After spending the night in the car, she felt a nagging pain all over her body, as if her bones were about to fall apart.

"Boom~"

She accidentally kicked the back of the seat, and a low impact sound broke the silence of the early morning and attracted the attention of two people outside the car.
