The pickup truck sped forward in the darkness, followed closely by a helicopter in mid-air.

When the group of desperadoes were about to drive in pursuit, the firepower from the helicopter quickly blocked their advance. For a moment, the roar of the pickup truck faded away and disappeared completely into the night.

With the accelerator pressed to the floor, Qiao Ruyi gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, looking firmly at the road ahead, like a warrior who bravely moved forward regardless of danger.

After escaping from the pursuit and coming down safely, Ling Che turned his head and looked at her carefully.

Her face was clearly pale, and sweat was dripping from her temples. It was clearly a deep winter night, but her whole body looked as if it had been washed by water.

She kept her eyes fixed straight ahead, her hands gripping the steering wheel were clenched until they turned white, showing how tense the string in her heart was.

Ling Che couldn't help but raise his hand and rub her head, "It's okay, Qiao Ruyi."

Feeling the warmth of his touch on her hair, Qiao Ruyi suddenly stiffened, her thick eyelashes trembled, and the car slowed down a little.

As if she had just reacted, she turned her head to look at the man with a smile in his eyes and asked uncertainly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ling Che's voice was as gentle as water.

Hearing his words, Qiao Ruyi couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror. After confirming that there was no car following them and that the terrible sound of gunfire could no longer be heard, she finally relaxed as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and looked at the man. Just now, she really thought Ling Che was trapped on the second floor and couldn't get out.

Fortunately, she rescued him.

Meeting her slightly moist eyes, Ling Che patted her head gently, his eyes filled with uncontrollable praise, "Well done, Qiao Ruyi."

He never thought that Qiao Ruyi would be brave enough to drive a pickup truck alone, break through the warehouse door, and go through the hail of bullets to pick him up.

At that moment, her bravery, her determination and her recklessness far exceeded his expectations, and his heart felt like it was about to explode.

Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, he raised his hand to push away the hair stuck to Qiao Ruyi's cheek, "But don't do it next time."

Qiao Ruyi drove the car steadily, shook her head, and turned to look at him, "Ling Che, you can protect me, and I can protect you. I said I can be with you."

She herself did not expect to make this decision, but at that critical moment, her first thought was that she could not ignore Ling Che.

If we have to die, we must die together.

Her eyes were red, but she smiled gently, "We are husband and wife, and also comrades-in-arms. I will also participate in whatever you want to do."

The lights from the roadside shone on her fair facial features, like a piece of transparent white jade.

The slightly curved corners of her mouth touched Ling Che's heart, and a warm current surged in his chest. He looked at her deeply for a few seconds, with uncontrollable churning in his eyes.

Ling Che said in a hoarse voice, "Qiao Ruyi, you are really going to kill me."

Qiao Ruyi smiled at him with a smile on her face, took his left hand, inserted it between his fingers and interlocked theirs.

The black Buddhist beads on his wrist were lustrous and translucent. Qiao Ruyi glanced at them, her gaze settling on the man's charmingly beautiful face. "We'll share life and death."

Ling Che tightened his grip, raised his eyebrows, and smiled softly, "That's what you said."

Qiao Ruyi smiled, "I mean what I say."

She glanced at the road conditions outside and said, "This place is not far from the hotel. You can take a rest first. I can drive back."

Ling Che leaned back in his chair, tilted his head and kept looking at her profile, which he could never get enough of.

The fight just now wasn't much of an exercise for him, and he wasn't tired. But after hearing her words, he felt a sense of satisfaction that he could rely on her.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch the fair face, and the corners of his lips curled up deeply. It felt so good.

The gray pickup truck passed through the Bridgeport Tunnel at a constant speed, and the orange light illuminated the tunnel.

Suddenly, a sharp brake sound was heard, echoing in the tunnel.

The person in the driver's seat suddenly stopped smiling, his beautiful eyes turned cold, and he stared straight ahead.

The road ahead was blocked by several cars of different sizes. A dozen men were standing in front of the cars, staring at the pickup truck in front of them with a fierce look.

Qiao Ruyi didn't expect that just after they got away from a group of pursuers, another group came and blocked their way.

She was just about to start the car and turn around to go back when the vehicles behind her surrounded her.

At this time, the pickup truck she was driving was surrounded in the middle, unable to move or retreat.

She turned to look at the man in the passenger seat and found Ling Che leaning back in his chair, staring calmly ahead, without a trace of fear on his face.

"If you don't want to die, get off the bus!"

One of the men who was blocking their way suddenly shouted this to them.

Qiao Ruyi looked over and saw that the man standing in the front should be their boss. He was tall and had a white glove on his right hand as he was playing with the gun.

Ling Che curled his lips into a smile, opened the door and got out of the car.

Qiao Ruyi also quickly got out of the car and stood beside Ling Che, asking them coldly, "Who are you and why are you chasing us?"

One of the men looked at her with amusement, "Because you know too many things you shouldn't know."

Qiao Ruyi frowned. What did she know?

Is it because of the human traffickers?

Just as she was about to say something, the man in white gloves in front of her looked her over and said, "So the old ghost's prey is you. You're quite capable to be able to escape from him."

After he finished speaking, he touched the gun in his hand and said with a smile, "But if you fall into our hands, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."

Qiao Ruyi and Ling Che were surrounded by them. At this moment, they were like targets in the crowd and there was no way for them to escape.

She calmly touched Ling Che's hand beside her and held it tightly. When she looked at the man opposite her, there was no fear in her eyes.

She half of her body was blocking in front of him. Ling Che lowered his eyes to glance at her tightly held hand and silently curled the corners of his mouth.

"Brother Zuo." In the crowd, Tang Ming looked at the two people in front of him and said to the man in white gloves, "They don't seem afraid of death."

"That's perfect." Yu Zuo loaded the gun in his hand. "I love playing games with people like this the most."

He pointed the gun at Qiao Ruyi and said, "Since you are so beautiful, I will give you a privilege."

He glanced at the man behind her who hadn't said a word, then looked at Qiao Ruyi, "You and him, kill one and keep the other. The choice is yours."
