Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

"Run for it?"

Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man and woman in front of them.

Obviously, the girl who was now lying across Qin Heng's legs, urging him to run, must have been under some sort of duress, exploited by the couple in front.

However, Qin Heng showed no sign of noticing.

As if he hadn't felt the girl writing on his leg at all, he gently helped her up and smiled. "Fellow student, are you also from Beijing University?"

The girl was slightly stunned. A touch of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she nodded somewhat helplessly, saying, "Yes, Beijing University, College of Literature, majoring in Editing and Publishing. I'm Wang Ruoxi, from Jiaxing."

She was proactively disclosing her personal information. Under normal circumstances, even if a boy asked, a girl wouldn't reveal so much about herself, but now she was spilling all her details at once. School, college, major, name, hometown—she stopped just short of giving out her ID number.

It seemed she didn't dare to warn Qin Heng outright, only daring to hint in this manner.

I wrote on his leg just now, and he didn't notice. Hopefully, this will make him wary.

Wang Ruoxi bowed her head, her expression tense, her cheeks slightly flushed. She had thrown herself onto Qin Heng's lap to alert him to the danger in the car, and this was her first such contact with the opposite sex. For a moment, her bashfulness even outweighed her fear of being coerced.

"AHEM, AHEM!" The middle-aged man driving suddenly coughed twice and said with a smile, "Young lady, it's not my place to say, but these days, a girl really shouldn't reveal her information so easily, hehe."

He was warning Wang Ruoxi! Her earlier actions had already made him wary.

However, he seemed very confident, believing he had Qin Heng and Wang Ruoxi completely under control and didn't take it too seriously. He just gave a slight reminder, a warning, and then said no more.

Wang Ruoxi, however, was terrified by the man's warning. She kept her head down, not daring to speak. She was truly scared and filled with regret.

I should have listened to my parents and let them accompany me. What do I do now?! Wang Ruoxi kept her head down, her teeth gently biting her red lips, her eyes brimming with tears.

"What's wrong, classmate?" Qin Heng's palm patted Wang Ruoxi's shoulder again. The girl's slender body trembled, and she instinctively flinched away. He smiled. "Missing home?"

Missing home? Wang Ruoxi was taken aback, then speechless.

Homesick, my foot! I'm clearly terrified! Are you really that oblivious, or are you just pretending? Can't you tell something is seriously wrong with me? Can't you see that those two in the front are obviously up to no good? Do you have any perception at all? What department at Beijing University are you even from?!

She felt extremely aggrieved now. She had risked great danger, going through a series of internal debates, before deciding to warn Qin Heng about the danger in the car and tell him to escape.

But he hadn't grasped her meaning at all!

What on earth was happening?!

Seeing Wang Ruoxi's lack of response and her increasingly sorrowful expression, Qin Heng dropped his carefree act. He looked at the middle-aged couple in front and said bluntly, "If you two want to live, stop the car right now. I might spare your lives."

CRASH!

The car sped over a speed bump and lurched violently. Everyone inside was jolted, causing Wang Ruoxi to fall into Qin Heng's arms again, her soft, slender body pressing against his chest.

For a moment, the car was completely silent. The other three people, besides Qin Heng, were all stunned. They almost doubted if their ears had deceived them. Was he joking? What did that guy just say? If *we* stop the car now, *he* might spare *our* lives? That's ridiculous! This has to be a joke!

Wang Ruoxi, who had fallen into Qin Heng's arms, was initially very shy. But after clearly hearing what Qin Heng said, she abruptly lifted her head, staring at his face in sheer disbelief.

She felt like she was going insane. She'd thought Qin Heng hadn't grasped her implications at all, but now it seemed he understood perfectly, crystal clear! But! But why would you just blurt it out like that?! Do you think the two people sitting in front are saints? These are two vicious criminals! It's over! Totally over! He's tipped them off, alerted those two completely. There's no chance of escape now!

Desperation painted Wang Ruoxi's face.

Upon hearing Qin Heng's words, the middle-aged couple in front briefly froze, then burst into uproarious laughter, rocking back and forth as if they had heard the funniest joke ever.

"HAHAHA! Kid! Are you brain-dead?" The middle-aged man looked scornfully at Qin Heng in the rearview mirror. "You're perceptive, alright, but your brain's not working right. Who do you think you are, trying to take our lives?"

"Kid! It's your lives that are in our hands now!" the middle-aged woman sneered. "However, we don't want your lives. Just be smart and transfer all the money in your bank accounts to us!"

"Otherwise, I'll strip you both bare and dump you in the wilderness! HAHAHA!" The middle-aged man abruptly shed his earlier amiable facade, laughing arrogantly. At the same time, he squinted at Wang Ruoxi in the rearview mirror, licked his lips, and said, "Of course, I'll have to have my fill of this little beauty first! HAHAHA!"

Wang Ruoxi was pretty and pure, with delicate features. She had that quintessential 'first love' look. To some perverts, defiling such a girl brought a sick sense of accomplishment. This middle-aged man was clearly such a degenerate.

"You—you can't do this!" Wang Ruoxi was pale with fear, her slender body trembling. "Didn't you promise before? You said you only wanted money and would return my ID card and admission notice soon!"

It turned out her ID card and university admission notice had been taken by the middle-aged couple. That was why she was being coerced and used as bait to reassure and lure others into the car.

But Wang Ruoxi was ultimately kind-hearted. She couldn't overcome her conscience and decided to warn Qin Heng about the danger in the car, urging him to escape quickly. Of course, this was also an attempt at self-preservation. If Qin Heng could get away, he might call the police, and then she too could be saved.

However, the turn of events had completely defied her expectations. Qin Heng's actions were truly astounding!

"Heh, little girl, did you really think we'd give your things back in the end? How naive!" the middle-aged woman snickered coldly, then said to the man driving, "Drive faster! The suburbs are just ahead—a good place to make our move. Let's make these two brats cough up all their money!"

"I'm giving you one last chance. Stop the car now if you want to live," Qin Heng said calmly, his tone matter-of-fact. "Otherwise, death awaits you."

He spoke with a serious air, as if stating an impending fact. But no one believed him.

His words hung in the air. The car immediately fell into dead silence, as if time itself had stopped. The only sound was that of breathing.

After a long moment, "FUCK! You idiot!" The middle-aged man driving slammed his hand on the steering wheel, turned his head, and yelled at Qin Heng, "If you dare say one more fucking word, I'll rip your mouth apart! You dumb fucker!"
