MTLNOVEL Chapter 356: Trap?
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
As it was early summer, the weather in LA City was quite unpredictable. The sky that was clear during the day had suddenly become overcast, with dense clouds covering the sky, making the surroundings extremely dark. The air carried a hint of moisture, indicating that a heavy rain was imminent.
After work, Lu Yu stretched largely, observing the rolling clouds and dark environment. He took in the slightly moist air and then headed directly to the parking lot, got into his car, and drove towards his home.
For Lu Yu, Leng Qingqiu's question from the morning kept lingering in his mind. He couldn't understand why this woman, who used to frown at the sight of him, was so curious about his past five years.
Although he didn't know why Leng Qingqiu was curious, Lu Yu was certain that he would not reveal his identity to her unless absolutely necessary.
His past five years were dark and bloody, something even a hardened soldier might not endure, and Leng Qingqiu was just a pampered heiress, not someone who could handle such things.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but shake his head. Glancing up, he realized that the road ahead was already blocked by numerous vehicles.
Due to the weather, everyone was eager to return home, coupled with the rush hour, making such congestion quite normal.
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Yu shook his head helplessly, turned the steering wheel, and entered the expressway on the side, planning to take a detour back home.
With the impending rain, the expressway seemed particularly desolate, with only Lu Yu's car in sight, making the scene quite eerie under the cloudy and dark sky.
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, Lu Yu's vehicle jolted violently, followed by two explosive sounds. At the instant the sounds occurred, Lu Yu's Bentley Mulsanne began to tilt violently!
Tire shredder!
At the moment of losing control of the vehicle, Lu Yu immediately realized that the previous jolt and explosive sounds were reactions to his car hitting a tire shredder!
Normally, tire shredders wouldn't be found on urban roads. Clearly, someone was lying in wait for him on this expressway!
Realizing this, Lu Yu didn't have much time to think further because his tires were already shredded, the vehicle was completely off-balance, and given the speed on the expressway, failure to control the car would definitely result in a rollover!
At this thought, Lu Yu grasped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, stepping on the brake, trying to control the vehicle and bring it to a stop.
At this moment, on the dim expressway, Lu Yu's Bentley was severely out of control, the front tires rubbing violently against the ground, sparking visibly, quite eye-catching!
Rumble!
Just then, an extremely dull sound was heard, like rolling thunder, carrying a pressing sense of power.
Hearing this, Lu Yu suddenly looked up, seeing a massive heavy truck speeding straight towards him with full force!
First, the tire shredder burst his vehicle's tires, and when the vehicle was out of control, a heavy truck charged forward – clearly, someone intended to kill him!
His Bentley was completely out of control at this moment, facing such a massive truck with no chance of evasion!
The speed of the heavy truck was incredibly fast, and within seconds, it had charged forward, its massive body showing no intention of slowing down, crashing heavily into Lu Yu's vehicle!
Boom!
With a thundering crash, Lu Yu's Bentley Mulsanne was instantaneously shattered by the collision with this heavy truck, with debris scattering all over the road, presenting a tragic sight!
"Tsk tsk tsk"
At this moment, Slade watched the shattered Bentley, slowly stepping down from the heavy truck and coldly remarked, "It seems this so-called Lu Yu is nothing special; such a simple trick could end his life, truly disappointing!"
Slade's words were full of disdain, casual in demeanor.
"Slade, I told you, know the enemy and yourself, and you'll be victorious. After figuring out his daily route, killing him is that easy!"
Upon hearing Slade's words, Wells also stepped down from the truck, speaking calmly, his words lacking any emotional fluctuation, as cold as a machine: "Now we just need to confirm his death to report back to Sebastian!"
Wells seemed very confident, for he believed it was impossible for anyone to survive the earlier collision!
"So you're Sebastian's men!"
As soon as Wells finished speaking, Lu Yu's icy voice came from the side, cold and indifferent, carrying a chill that sent shivers down one's spine!
"What!?"
In an instant, Wells and Slade froze, then swiftly turned around to see Lu Yu standing intact not far from them, observing them with eyes full of murderous intent!
"How is this possible?"
Seeing Lu Yu, Wells was full of astonishment: "With the collision just now, there was no chance of survival, how did you survive!"
"How did I survive?"
Hearing Wells's words, Lu Yu coldly said: "I have to admit, you almost succeeded this time. First, using a hidden tire shredder to burst my tires, making the vehicle uncontrollable, then crashing a heavy truck into it to kill witnesses; setting it up to look like an accident was clever."
"Had I not reacted quickly to escape from the car, I might really have died in your trap!"
At this moment, Lu Yu spoke coldly, his words icy. His suit was torn in multiple places, evidently signs of friction from leaping out of the car. He observed Slade and Wells before him like a beast eyeing its enemies, his gaze full of coldness and bloodlust!
