Chapter 685 Pursued by Four Cars
The car did not stop but swayed more and more sharply, like driving at high speed around S–curves.
Kisa’s stomach churned because of the constant sideways motions. She grabbed her seatbelt and subconsciously looked over at Gilbert, only to see him staring straight ahead, his hands rapidly turning the steering wheel. She knew something was wrong when she saw his face tense and focused. Kisa did not dare to disturb him but sat up straight with difficulty and looked in the rearview mirror.
What she saw stunned her. Four cars were chasing them from behind. Two of the cars caught up and kept hitting their cars from behind as if to force them to stop. Kisa took a quick look at her surroundings. They were still in the countryside, with no people or houses around, not even a small village. Kisa looked in the rearview mirror again and saw the four cars coming at them from all directions. She could clearly see a few bodyguard–like men sitting inside a car. She subconsciously shrunk back and used her hands to shield her face as she saw the car sway toward her.
Just then, she heard Gilbert’s grave voice. “Sit tight!”
Immediately after, she felt the car lurching and then heard a loud bang as if it had hit something. But the car did not slow down in the slightest. Kisa hugged herself and buried her head in her knees, feeling like she was being shaken out of her consciousness. A few seconds later, the car was still driving fast, but there was no more aggressive maneuvering than before. It now drove at a steady speed.
She took a breath and carefully removed her hands. The cars that ran parallel next to them were out of sight. She hurriedly looked in the rearview mirror again. Only to see two of the cars had crashed in the field, one stopped across the middle of the road, and one had crashed into the guardrail of the channel. Her heart was still pounding wildly.
“Are the killers still coming after us?” she asked.
“Not for a while.”
Kisa was a little worried. “We won’t get to Hillsby until the day after tomorrow. What if the killers catch up with us again in the next two days?”
