Chapter 182 Broad Vision
Jiang Chenfeng released Chu Qingzi's acupoints and said coldly, "Don't ever appear in front of me again, or you won't be this lucky next time!"
Chu Qingzi stood there, stunned. Discovering that her acupoints had been released, she looked at Jiang Chenfeng with complex eyes and gritted her teeth, "Do you think I'll be grateful just because you let me go?"
"Do I need you to be grateful?" Jiang Chenfeng retorted.
"Uh..."
It seemed he really didn't.
Chu Qingzi really wanted to ask why. Why did Jiang Chenfeng let her go?
But seeing the expression on Jiang Chenfeng's face, which showed he didn't take her seriously at all, she became furious and gritted her teeth, "Fine! If you ever fall into my hands in the future, I can spare your life too!"
"If you ever fall into my hands again, I won't spare you!" Jiang Chenfeng shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"We'll see about that!"
Chu Qingzi snorted coldly, jumped straight into the woods, and disappeared from sight.
Jiang Chenfeng walked toward the foot of the mountain.
Not long after, he arrived where the car was parked.
The sky was gloomy, and a large patch of dark clouds had gathered overhead.
Looking at the sky, a torrential downpour could start at any moment!
Zhao Zhuo was trying to reverse. The area was quite narrow, and reversing required some skill.
Once Zhao Zhuo successfully turned the car around, Jiang Chenfeng and Lan Xiaodie got in, ready to leave.
Just as they drove to a fork in the road, the off-road vehicle seemed to run over something.
It felt like a fallen tree, and the whole vehicle jolted, causing the engine to stall.
But the three of them didn't notice that beneath the rear wheel, there was a leg!
A young man in his twenties was lying under the off-road vehicle. His name was Ye Fan!
Because the grandfather of the family he had married into, the Xia family, was about to hold his eightieth birthday celebration, he had left the capital and come to this place to search for some rare treasures to give as a birthday gift to the old man of the Xia family!
As it turned out, upon arriving in this forest, he encountered Master Xu Gu, who was also searching for medicinal herbs. A battle broke out between them.
Ye Fan was naturally no match for Master Xu Gu. He was sent flying by Master Xu Gu, falling from near the top of the mountain to this spot, where he passed out!
It wasn't until his thigh was run over by the off-road vehicle that Ye Fan was jolted awake from his unconscious state by the sheer pain.
Waking up, Ye Fan looked down at his lower body and saw an off-road vehicle wheel pressing precisely onto his thigh.
Crack!
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Raindrops began to fall heavily. In just a few seconds, it turned into a torrential downpour!
Bean-sized raindrops hammered against the off-road vehicle, making the metal body rattle.
Jiang Chenfeng, sitting in the back seat, was cuddling intimately with Lan Xiaodie!
Suddenly, feeling the vehicle stop and noticing the heavy rain outside, he couldn't help but ask, "Can't start it?"
"Mr. Jiang, please give me a moment." Zhao Zhuo, sweating profusely, tried to start the car.
After trying for several minutes, he finally managed to start the off-road vehicle and headed toward the left path.
Just after driving about a dozen meters, Lan Xiaodie, who was leaning in Jiang Chenfeng's arms, said, "Did we take the wrong road? It doesn't seem like we came this way earlier!"
Knowing the relationship between Lan Xiaodie and Jiang Chenfeng, Zhao Zhuo immediately replied, "We must have taken the wrong road. I'll reverse immediately and take the other one!"
Crack! Crack!
Ye Fan, who had just been preparing to drag his broken leg away from the fork in the road, didn't notice the off-road vehicle reversing.
The off-road vehicle pressed onto his thigh again, causing Ye Fan excruciating pain. With a twisted expression, he pounded on the vehicle, "Damn it! Do you guys even know how to drive? You've crushed my leg!"
"You idiots, get out of the car and help!"
But the rain all around was getting heavier. Not only that, but a fierce wind was blowing through the woods.
No matter how hard Ye Fan pounded on the car body, the three people inside thought the noise was just raindrops hitting the vehicle.
The off-road vehicle returned to the fork in the road. Zhao Zhuo checked carefully and said with hesitation, "Why do I remember that we didn't take the wrong road? We took this path when we came up the mountain earlier!"
"If it's not wrong, then let's go!" Lan Xiaodie smiled sheepishly. In truth, she didn't remember very clearly either. She rarely looked out the window when they were heading up the mountain earlier.
Crack! Crack!
The off-road vehicle ran over Ye Fan's thigh again.
Ye Fan was on the verge of a breakdown. What was wrong with this car? Was it intentional? Were they trying to torture him to death? This bastard!
If he hadn't been seriously injured by Master Xu Gu, he would have smashed the people and the car into pulp!
"No, maybe I remembered wrong!" After driving a few meters, Zhao Zhuo suddenly started reversing again, thinking he had made a mistake.
Crack! Crack!
Ye Fan was going crazy. He wailed, "You're running over someone! Which bastard is driving? Can you look outside, for God's sake?"
Even though Ye Fan was screaming and crying, the people inside couldn't hear him at all. The sound of the rain and wind outside was too loud; even if he shouted through a megaphone, they would have had a hard time hearing him.
Jiang Chenfeng carefully looked at the two forks in the road ahead and said, "I don't think you took the wrong road! This is the path to go down the mountain."
"Then let's take this road!" Zhao Zhuo didn't dare to disobey Jiang Chenfeng, so he pressed the accelerator and drove down that path.
Crack! Crack!
When the off-road vehicle ran over Ye Fan's legs once again, Ye Fan finally passed out.
"Wait!" Jiang Chenfeng suddenly called for the vehicle to stop. With a serious look in his eyes, he said, "The rain is so heavy now; if we take the wrong road, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Pig Head Mountain today!"
"Let's get out and take a look! We need to confirm the direction before we continue, so we can try to get down the mountain before dark!"
"Mr. Jiang, here's an umbrella!" Lan Xiaodie quickly found an umbrella and followed Jiang Chenfeng out of the car.
Jiang Chenfeng didn't notice at all that after getting out of the car, his right foot stepped on Ye Fan's fingers. It was mainly because there were so many fallen leaves and branches in the woods that he thought he had stepped on a fallen branch.
Moreover, the spot where Jiang Chenfeng was standing was indeed the place with the clearest view.
Jiang Chenfeng gazed down the mountain and pointed to the left road, saying, "It really seems to be this path! Look at the junction below; that's where we came up the mountain!"
Zhao Zhuo also held an umbrella and came to Jiang Chenfeng's side, stepping on Ye Fan's other hand.
Below where he was standing, there was a tree of medium height that blocked some of his view. Zhao Zhuo had to stand on tiptoe to look toward the foot of the mountain, saying, "This is indeed the road!"
As he shifted his full weight onto his toes, the sound of bones breaking came from Ye Fan's fingers.
