Chapter 6766
Mysterious Assassin
Xiao Chen's voice was soft yet firm, like a spring breeze gently caressing Yun Yuyan's heart, yet carrying an undeniable strength.
Yun Yuyan felt her cheeks burning hot.
The heat was like being directly basked in the brightest spring sunshine, or like the vibrant peach blossoms blooming on the branches, dazzlingly red.
At this moment, she was filled with mixed feelings. Waves of disappointment washed over her, enveloping her completely.
At the same time, a sense of relief quietly emerged.
It was as if a huge stone that had been weighing on my heart was finally starting to loosen.
The car turned onto a quiet side street, a side street that seemed to be a forgotten corner of the city, rarely visited by anyone.
The plane trees along the roadside are tall and lush, their branches swaying gently in the breeze.
Their shadows intertwined and swayed on the car window, forming a mottled net.
The net was intricate and complex, like a mysterious painting, hiding countless unknown secrets.
It makes one want to explore it, yet also inspires awe.
Just then, Xiao Chen, who had been lounging in his chair, suddenly sat up straight.
His movements were swift and decisive, like an alert cheetah sensing approaching danger.
In an instant, the temperature around him plummeted, as if he had fallen from a warm spring day into a cold ice cellar.
It's as if he's become a completely different person.
The atmosphere in the air became tense, like a taut string that could snap at any moment.
Yun Yuyan couldn't help but shiver. She instinctively hugged her arms tightly, her body trembling slightly.
His voice trembled slightly.
"Have you noticed how cold it is? Has the temperature dropped?"
"That can't be... The weather forecast didn't say it would get colder."
Her eyes were full of doubt and unease as she looked around, trying to find some answers in her surroundings.
Xiao Chen acted as if he hadn't heard her.
His gaze was fixed on the rearview mirror, his eyes behind the lenses as cold as ice.
His eyes were sharp and piercing, as if they could see through all pretense and disguise, sending chills down one's spine.
His lips were pressed into a tight line, and the lines on his face became exceptionally cold and stern.
"Yu Yan, pull over."
His voice was deep and hoarse, as if squeezed from the depths of his chest, each word carrying an unquestionable authority.
The sound echoed in the silent car, like an inviolable command.
Yun Yuyan hadn't reacted yet; her mind was still in a state of confusion.
Xiao Chen frowned and repeated it again.
"Pull over, now!"
His voice was filled with obvious anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan, as if a huge crisis was about to strike, and every second was incredibly precious.
Yun Yuyan suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly slammed on the brakes.
The screeching sound of brakes echoed on the quiet road, sharp and piercing, like an alarm bell signaling impending danger.
The car was still slowly gliding along, like a wounded wild animal struggling to stop.
Xiao Chen couldn't wait any longer. He quickly grabbed Yun Yuyan's wrist, so hard that it hurt her a little.
Yun Yuyan couldn't help but frown, a pained expression on her face.
"Listen carefully to everything I'm about to say, and don't interrupt me. Just do as I say, and I won't hurt you."
Xiao Chen's gaze was firm and serious as he stared intently into Yun Yuyan's eyes, as if trying to convey his determination to her. His palms were burning hot, like flames, but Yun Yuyan felt a chill run down her spine, as if a coldness was creeping up from the soles of her feet.
A strong sense of unease enveloped her, making her feel as if she were in a dark forest, surrounded by unknown dangers.
Yun Yuyan felt her cheeks burning hot, as if she were being directly basked in the brightest spring sunshine, or like the vibrant red of a blooming peach blossom.
At this moment, she was filled with mixed feelings. Waves of disappointment washed over her, enveloping her completely.
