Feng Yuhuai suddenly stood up from the sofa, her lips uncontrollably trembling.

The sound from the television continued, but her temples were throbbing, countless terrifying thoughts in her mind crashed around like startled bats. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She quickly walked to the window, her fingers tightly clenching the curtain, the fabric wrinkling into a ball in her palm.

Outside the window, the night was serene.

The streetlights were pitch-black, the shadows of the trees swayed, occasionally brushed by the night wind, resembling ghostly silhouettes.

"Not a single person outside?!!"

Feng Yuhuai’s pupils shrank to needlepoints as her gaze swept over every shadow.

Behind that old locust tree, could there be constables from the Patrol Office hiding?

On the rooftop opposite, could there be snipers from the Arresting Bureau lying in wait?

Or even... if it’s the Executive Government, would they deploy one or two "Night Watchers" to seal the area?

Actually.....

Regardless of the message broadcasted by the television station, its authenticity remains questionable, and even if the Executive Government had really obtained the "video", they might not make a big deal out of it with Feng Yuhuai.

After all, in that unreleased "video", it’s hardly accurate to say Feng Yuhuai was its protagonist.

But from Feng Yuhuai’s own perspective, she was the undeniable protagonist in the script of her own life.

When it concerned herself, no matter how she contemplated or amplified her precarious situation, it would not be too much.

In the past, Feng Yuhuai could still find ways to extract intelligence about the Patrol Office from her father, but that route, she had just blocked it herself.

Doomed, she began to miss the days when her father was around.

Feng Yuhuai’s face suddenly darkened like ink, blood-like dark tides surged in her eyes.

The next second.

"Boom——!"

A thunderous explosion tore through the night sky, the entire window trembling with the sound wave, and in the distance, glaring flames shot up from the direction of the road.

Feng Yuhuai’s pupils shrank instantly into quivering coils.

"Have they come? Are they coming for me?!!"

A shiver of fear rose in her heart, and then, the detective genes she inherited from Feng Ju kicked in.

As for why there was an explosion before they even entered the compound... this very likely was "Destiny" invisibly protecting her again.

"Escape——, quick, I can’t stay here, otherwise, if I’m truly surrounded, I won’t be able to escape!"

Feng Yuhuai hurriedly drew the curtain, turned her head, and rushed out the door.

Feng Mu watched as Imoto hurriedly walked outside, concerned, he asked, "It’s so late, where are you going?"

Bang——

The only response was the heavy sound of the door slamming shut.

Feng Mu gazed at the trembling door panel, the light behind his glasses dimmed as he murmured, "The older she gets, the more impolite she becomes."

The kitchen’s sliding door clattered, and Wang Xiuli peeked out.

"Yuhuai is out too?" she furrowed her brows into a worried knot.

Feng Mu turned back to his mother, smiling,

"Yeah, I asked her, and she wouldn’t say, just left absent-mindedly. Ah, as girls grow up, they have their little secrets."

Feng Mu shook his head helplessly, "Mom, do you think Yuhuai might be... in love?"

Wang Xiuli slightly furrowed her brows, looking at the tightly closed security door.

"Mom, it’s alright, don’t worry unnecessarily."

Feng Mu gently adjusted his glasses, his face full of filial piety he said softly:

"They’ve all left, but I’m different from them, I will always be with you."

.....

Feng Yuhuai didn’t dare head towards the building entrance, instead, she headed to the rooftop.

The lock on the rooftop door had long been rusted, and she ripped it off with a single pull.

The night wind wailed as it blew in, scattering the loose hair at her temples.

She crouched low, creeping to the edge of the rooftop like a vigilant feline.

When she moved to the rooftop’s edge, her right eye weirdly began to bulge.

With a soft "pop", the eyeball detached from its socket, hanging in the air by a few strands of blood-red thread.

The suspended eyeball rotated 360 degrees, overlooking the scenery below.

"Strange, there’s really no one downstairs, I need to escape quickly!"

Feng Yuhuai suddenly raised her right hand, from her fingertips shot out a scarlet thread, piercing straight into the wall of the rooftop opposite.

Whoosh——

The thread retracted sharply, like a contracting spider silk.

Feng Yuhuai lightly tapped with her feet, like a human spider she swept through the night sky, and as she was mid-air, another red thread shot out, swinging her quickly towards a farther point.

Within a few leaps, her figure transformed into a flickering silhouette in the night.

As she was about to swing out of the residential area, she suddenly trembled, the red thread snapped abruptly, and she plummeted heavily to the ground.

The ground was empty, nothing but a few dead leaves swirling in the night wind.

"No, where’s my father’s car? Who drove it away?"

"No, the car had my father’s body inside, who dared to drive it away?"

Feng Yuhuai’s mind raced wildly, from the moment she returned home to now, less than a few minutes had passed.

If the body had been found and reported, they wouldn’t drive away the car; and if it were a thief, who would steal a blue-and-white car, especially with a body inside?

The night wind turned eerie and bone-chilling.

Feng Yuhuai opened her eyes wide, carefully scanning her surroundings, in the grass, there were no abandoned bodies, just tire marks heading out of the residential area, as if...

As if the person in the car started the engine themselves.

This thought made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end.

"It can’t be..."

She suddenly began to laugh nervously,

"Dad woke up himself and drove the car away, right?"

......

The white refrigerated truck sped down the highway.

"One minute left until arrival."

Zhao Jingyi reported to Zuo Bai with a tablet in hand.

Zuo Bai opened his mouth but didn’t have time to speak.

The drastic change happened without warning.

The cargo hold seemed to be bitten by an invisible giant beast, the metal shell tearing apart with a screeching twist.

Zhao Jingyi suddenly felt weightless, her entire body being thrown into the air.

At that critical moment, she instinctively grabbed the edge of the cold cabinet, but inertia brutally threw her towards the metal edge again.

Amidst the dizziness and vertigo, she saw the entire carriage being crumpled like a carton, hot waves of fire flooding in like tides.

"Boom——"

Then, she heard the deafening sound of the fuel tank exploding.

The ten-ton truck was tossed into the air like a toy, its metal frame twisting and distorting amidst the roaring flames, emitting a bone-chilling groan.

The moment the fuel tank exploded, tongues of orange flame spewed out like a dragon’s breath, shards of glass and metal fragments rained down.

The chain accident spread like dominoes.

Cars were flipped over by the blast waves, spinning on the road; buses slid over, leaving a fifty-meter trail of sparks; a truck carrying steel pipes braked abruptly, dozens of pipes impaled the vehicles in front like javelins.

Wailing and alarms ripped through the air, the screech of twisting metal and the muffled noise of explosions rose and fell in succession.

When the burning refrigerated truck finally crashed to the ground, skidding for dozens of meters, the deformed truck door suddenly burst open from the inside.

Several charred figures leapt out one after another, bellowing furiously towards the sky:

"Who, who is attacking us?"
