No matter how calm Zhou Weiqi looked, or how much he was trying to hide the fact that he had noticed the followers, the van behind suddenly overtook their car and blocked their way out.
"Sit tight, Jiang Yao! I'm turning back!" Seeing a couple of big burly guys exiting the van, he decided to make a turn and drive toward the opposite direction.
However, it was a narrow street. No matter how fast Zhou Weiqi was, his car was swiftly surrounded by the people from the van.
"Get out of the car!" The thugs warned, hitting the car with a wooden baton. "Don't make me turn your car into scrap metal!"
"Stay inside!" Zhou Weiqi said. "I don't think they're here for our lives!"
"Who are they here for?" Jiang Yao was puzzled.
Zhou Weiqi shook his head. He gestured at the thugs, expressing his willingness to not cause any more trouble.
"I think they're here for you!" Jiang Yao saw the head thug holding a photograph and looking long and hard at Zhou Weiqi, seemingly to confirm if he was the person they were looking for.
Zhou Weiqi breathed a sigh of relief hearing that he was the target, which meant Jiang Yao's safety was a little more assured.
He unbuckled his seat belt but kept the keys in the ignition and whispered, "Wait till I distract them, then you drive away!"
Just as swiftly, he opened the doors, jumped out, and immediately locked it behind him.
