Their target was Xiao Shenglin. They would probably prefer to keep things low-key, so they probably wouldn’t do anything with Song Xuanhe and Zhou Nan also on board. But with danger imminent, it was inevitable that the three of them would still be nervous despite their calm analysis.
Song Xuanhe was extremely vigilant against any cars that might appear from the winding road. After having driven for a long time on the flat road, they gradually made their way onto a main road, and the traffic also increased. The three people in the car slowly relaxed. 9aqh5T
“It should be fine now.”
Like Song Xuanhe, Zhou Nan and Xiao Shenglin also thought that Xiao Baicong’s people wouldn’t make a move in such a crowded place. If a car accident was to occur here, many other vehicles would likely be implicated as well. It would attract a lot of attention. That was definitely not something Xiao Baicong would want.
As the tension subsided, they began to make guesses on whether the people following Xiao Shenglin were Xiao Baicong’s people or an organization he hired.

If this was the case, Xiao Shenglin was in more danger than Song Xuanhe had initially thought. Although it seemed like assassins were no longer a part of their world, they knew that they still existed. They were not covert, mysterious, lithe martial arts masters like in novels either.

If Xiao Baicong had found such people, Xiao Shenglin’s survival rate would become abysmally low. k6Syxb
Luckily, Song Xuanhe knew that Xiao Shenglin was supposed to die in a discreet car accident. But at the same time, because he knew about this, he had been more inclined to think that Xiao Baicong had sent his own subordinates.
“It’s fortunate that we’re in China. Xiao Baicong is wary of the local authorities. Besides, he hasn’t succeeded the Xiao Family. He can’t act too recklessly.” Zhou Nan frowned. It wasn’t clear whether he was comforting his friends or himself.
