The rain was getting heavier, and the strong wind was reducing the car's speed significantly. Sitting in the back seat, Fei Hu glanced at Yingzi and said to the driver, Fat Woman, "Stop for a while; this is too dangerous."
"If you don't mind delaying things, then I'll stop for a bit," Fat Woman replied, abruptly swerving the car to the side of the road. Due to the speed, it kicked up a curtain of water as she finally turned off the engine, placing her hands behind her head and stretching lazily.
In this situation, there were hardly any people on the road. Suddenly, Fat Woman leaned forward to check the rearview mirror and muttered softly, "Looks like there are some reckless ones out there; I thought I was the only tough one."
Upon hearing this, Yingzi immediately sat up straight and turned around to look through the back window. However, the rain was so heavy that she couldn't see anything; all she could see was water streaming down the window like a river.
"Hey, did you see a car behind us?" Yingzi leaned forward anxiously and asked.
Fat Woman yawned and said, "Yeah, it looks like a small pickup truck. I saw its headlights flash earlier; it stopped too. I thought it would go ahead, but it turns out it's just another coward."
Noticing that Yingzi's expression was off, Fei Hu quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something going on?"
"In this kind of weather, who would be driving a truck? I'm worried we might be targeted. If that's the case, we really can't stay here," Yingzi replied as she strained to look back again.
Fei Hu thought to herself, is that even possible? In Xiao Xi, no one should recognize them. However, they weren't far from City A; Ye Wu could easily send someone after them. If that were true, it would be a big problem. This damn place was just farmland—no village nearby and no shops around—and with this kind of terrible weather, if a fight broke out and they got killed, no one would know.
Thinking of this made Fei Hu lean forward and say to Fat Woman, "Sister, let's go. It seems like this rain won't stop anytime soon; waiting is pointless. Once we reach our destination, we'll still pay you six hundred."
Upon hearing this, Fat Woman perked up immediately. She smiled and said, "Alright then." The car struggled to start several times before finally getting going. This made Fei Hu extremely worried; she feared that if too much water got into the exhaust pipe, they wouldn't be able to start the car again.
The water on the road kept increasing, making it harder for the car to move smoothly. Despite Fat Woman's good driving skills and familiarity with the road conditions, those inside could still feel how difficult it was for the vehicle to navigate. Fei Hu stood up to wipe the rear window but still couldn't see anything. Although Fat Woman was focused on driving, she could still catch bits of conversation between the two in the back.
"Don't look now; that small pickup has caught up with us. Are they following you? If that's true, I'll find a way to shake them off," Fat Woman said calmly while keeping her eyes fixed ahead. Most people would be too panicked to think about running away in such a situation.
Fat Woman's bravery moved both Fei Hu and Yingzi deeply. Without hesitation, Yingzi pulled out a thousand yuan from her wallet and placed it on the front seat while saying loudly, "Thank you, sister! Here's a thousand yuan for you to keep just in case they catch up. You just take care of yourself; this has nothing to do with you—we'll manage."
"It's fine; just wait until we hit a downhill stretch ahead—I can lose them there. They won't be able to keep up with me. It's a pity this car doesn't have much power; if it were a luxury sedan, I would have already shaken them off," Fat Woman said as she pressed down harder on the accelerator. Fei Hu could feel the car shaking due to all the water on the road creating too much resistance.
At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, the wind seemed to have calmed down a bit, and gradually, the raindrops falling on the car window became less dense. The car noticeably picked up speed.
Suddenly, the car made a sharp turn, accelerating quickly. Fei Hu looked outside and, using his judgment, could tell that the car was starting to drive downhill, likely the slope that Fat Woman had mentioned.
This Typhoon came quickly and left just as fast. In a short while, the wind had decreased significantly, and the rain became sparse. Through the car window, everything outside was visible. Fei Hu rolled down the window and leaned out to look back. About a thousand meters away, a small Pickup was speeding toward them. It seemed Yingzi's guess was correct; this vehicle was indeed coming for them.
Strangely enough, as soon as the rain stopped, the sun came out. Pedestrians began to appear on the road, and vehicles gradually increased in number. It seemed that the Typhoon warning had been lifted, and people were returning to their work.
"Sister, how far is it to Shanghang?" Yingzi asked anxiously as she noticed the car behind them.
Fat Woman kept honking her horn and said with a smile, "We're almost there, less than twenty kilometers, at most half an hour."
Just then, Yingzi's phone rang. She quickly took it out and saw who was calling before answering immediately. "Hello, we're on our way to Shanghang; it might take another half an hour. However, there's a car behind us that's already caught up; there might be some trouble."
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu immediately understood that Yingzi was talking to Ni Ling and that they might have already arrived in Shanghang.
Yingzi continued speaking, "We're on National Highway 356; you all should hurry." After finishing her sentence, she hung up.
At that moment, Fat Woman accelerated while cursing under her breath. "That small Pickup behind us seems to be looking for trouble; look at how they're forcing us off the road!"
Fei Hu quickly turned to look back. To his surprise, that car had closed in on them; they were now only three or four hundred meters apart. It seemed an intense battle was about to unfold. Fei Hu opened his bag and put on his mask, preparing for any sudden action.
Fat Woman saw Fei Hu's strange appearance in the rearview mirror and laughed. "Hey, little brother, your outfit looks just like something from the movie 'Fei Hu Team'." She couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing Yingzi sitting still, Fei Hu reminded her, "You should put on a mask too."
Yingzi shook her head and said, "No need; they already know what I look like. But you should keep it mysterious; they are probably still guessing about you." Just as Yingzi finished speaking, the car suddenly screeched to a halt in the middle of the road.
"What happened?" Fei Hu hurriedly asked.
Fat Woman angrily pounded on the steering wheel and said, "You all look for yourselves; aren't these people here to cause you trouble?"
Fei Hu hurriedly looked ahead and saw two cars parked in the middle of the road, with more than ten guys holding wooden sticks standing in between. One of them was instantly recognizable to Fei Hu; it was Little Four, one of Ye Wu's subordinates. It seemed he had really chased them down, which was a bit troublesome for him.
"Guys, I can only take you this far. The waters here are a bit deep, and I don't dare to wade through. There's a steel pipe for self-defense in the trunk; take it, you might need it," Fat Sister said, turning back to smile at Fei Hu and Yingzi.
Fei Hu realized he had misjudged this woman. He thought she only cared about money, but it turned out she also had a sense of righteousness.
As Fei Hu got out of the car and opened the trunk, he pulled out a seamless steel pipe about a meter long just as the Pickup behind them rushed forward, slamming to a stop right behind him.
Seeing Fei Hu and Yingzi get out of the car, Little Four in the middle of the road stepped aside to create a passage for the vehicle. They understood that blocking traffic would not end well for them.
Fat Woman was quite bold; she pressed the gas pedal and drove through the gap in the human wall, speeding away.
Immediately, seven or eight people jumped down from the small Pickup behind them, including Scarred Face and some security personnel. Although they weren't wearing uniforms, Fei Hu could still recognize them.
Yingzi signaled to Fei Hu, and they both distanced themselves slightly, ready to fight at any moment. However, Fei Hu was somewhat worried about Yingzi's shoulder injury. Normally, when they teamed up, few could get close to them.
"Hahaha! You guys run pretty fast! You almost made it to Shanghang. Since I've caught up with you, just come along quietly. You won't gain anything today; you're surrounded on both sides with so many fighters here. You're finished!" Scarred Face laughed loudly as he stepped closer.
Yingzi whispered to Fei Hu, "Take him out; he's annoying me."
With a beautiful woman's command, how could Fei Hu refuse? He let out a loud roar and charged forward. As he leaped into the air, the seamless steel pipe in his hand traced an arc through the air and struck out like lightning. Scarred Face was taken aback and hurriedly dodged; the pipe grazed his chest. Just as he was still in shock, Fei Hu swung the pipe toward his legs. With a scream, by the time everyone reacted, Scarred Face was already lying in the drainage ditch.
