Chapter 266 Ambush
The next morning, Zhu Bufan left the hotel with Long Na and hailed a taxi, heading straight for the airport.
The taxi sped along the straight highway. The driver was a young guy, very talkative. And from the hotel where Zhu Bufan and his company were staying, it was about a two-hour ride to the airport. Gradually, the taxi driver struck up a conversation with Zhu Bufan.
"Bro, you don't look like you're from around Suzhou, are you heading home or what?" the taxi driver asked Zhu Bufan.
"Going home! Are you a local from Suzhou?" Zhu Bufan replied.
"Yeah… I'm a local from Suzhou. Did you guys come here for fun?" the taxi driver said.
"Um... yes," replied Zhu Bufan.
"Hope you had a good time, bro! Our Suzhou girls are pretty, aren't they! Your girlfriend is from Suzhou, right?" the taxi driver said.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bufan smiled, knowing this young fellow was trying to hit on Long Na. By saying this, he was trying to provoke conflict by insinuating Zhu Bufan had a wandering heart. Zhu Bufan didn't expose this loser mentality.
Because after all, Zhu Bufan himself was also a loser!
For the vast majority of losers out there, seeing a man with a beautiful girl, they would think that either the man is rich or the girl has been deceived. In short, there's no true love.
"Yeah! The girls from Suzhou are pretty…" Zhu Bufan replied.
"Yeah… That's true! How did you meet your girlfriend, bro?" the taxi driver youngster asked.
"Well! That's a story that begins with…" Zhu Bufan started to reply.
It was at this moment that a big truck suddenly appeared, and it swiftly cut across and blocked the middle of the road.
In the nick of time, the young taxi driver slammed on the brakes.
Then, the taxi was seen heading straight for the truck but luckily the young driver reacted in time, and the car stopped just before it could hit the big truck.
Seeing this unfold, the taxi driver was furious.
He parked the car, quickly opened the door, stepped out, and stormed towards the cabin of the big truck that had suddenly appeared.
It looked like he was prepared for a confrontation with the big truck driver.
However, before he could reach the truck cabin, the truck driver descended, bringing along a burly man.
Afterwards, the back of the big truck was opened, and a bunch of henchmen poured out, all holding weapons in their hands.
The taxi driver was instantly petrified, standing still, trembling with fear.
As this group of people rushed out, Zhu Bufan's brows immediately furrowed.
Among this incoming group, Huang Zhong and those two burly demonized men were indeed there; however, surprisingly, the blond guy wasn't among them, which mildly puzzled Zhu Bufan.
Sensing something was wrong, Zhu Bufan quickly jumped into the driver's seat of the taxi. Then, he started the car and reversed.
With a "whoosh," Zhu Bufan drove the taxi away.
Seeing Zhu Bufan escaping in the taxi, the two burly men didn't immediately summon the gang, Huang Zhong, to jump onto the big truck to give chase. Instead, the corners of their mouths curled into a cold smile.
Zhu Bufan saw this faint smile and immediately felt that something was amiss.
Upon closer reflection, since they knew so clearly about the timing of my departure and the car I took, there must be something fishy about this taxi.
At that thought, Zhu Bufan released his powerful spiritual power, and in an instant, a time bomb appeared within his perception.
Long Na had already woken up earlier, when the young taxi driver made a sudden stop. At this moment, all of her heart was with Bufan.
"Damn..."
Zhu Bufan immediately brought the taxi to a stop.
"Long Na, get out of the car quickly..." Zhu Bufan shouted, and forthwith pushed open the car door.
Upon being shouted at by Zhu Bufan, Long Na was a bit stunned, seemingly forgetting the motion of opening the door and escaping. Zhu Bufan reluctanly opened the car door and pulled Long Na out.
Just as Zhu Bufan had pulled Long Na away for barely ten meters,
a sudden "bang..." sounded from behind.
In an instant, the taxi was blown to pieces.
The residual force of the explosion also rapidly spread outward.
Seeing this, Zhu Bufan immediately used his body to shield Long Na.
However, since Zhu Bufan and Long Na had only run less than ten meters, they weren't out of the range of the blast, so the explosion naturally reached them.
And at this moment, an Energy Light Shield burst forth from Zhu Bufan's body.
"Clink..."
The fragments from the exploded taxi were completely blocked by the Light Shield.
"Long Na, are you alright?" Zhu Bufan asked anxiously.
"I'm fine..." Long Na responded.
Hearing Long Na's reply, Zhu Bufan finally let out an inward sigh of relief.
"Clap clap..." It was at that moment, Zhu Bufan heard the sound of clapping by his ear.
"Didn't expect you to have something like a Shield..." At this time, a bunch of minions had already surrounded Zhu Bufan and Long Na.
And it was Huang Zhong who was clapping and speaking.
Hearing Huang Zhong mention the Shield, Zhu Bufan subconsciously touched his chest.
It was at this moment that Zhu Bufan realized, the super bulletproof vest given to him by Starving Ghost, actually served this purpose.
Had it not been for this super bulletproof vest, Zhu Bufan would probably have been injured by now! The power of the blast was incredibly strong, and even with spiritual power formed into a spiritual power Shield, Bufan wasn't sure he could withstand it. Not to mention, his reaction wasn't fast enough at that moment.
Steadying himself, Zhu Bufan placed Long Na behind him and instinctively glanced at the young taxi driver.
He saw that the young man was already lying in a pool of blood. Zhu Bufan felt very guilty about the taxi driver's fate, as he was killed because of him.
"Zhu Bufan, right? Today, I am going to take your life..." Huang Zhong said, his eyes filled with naked Killing Intent.
"Hmph... Huang Zhong, I spared you by chance last time, today I, Zhu Bufan, won't let you off either," Zhu Bufan replied coldly.
"Is that so? Zhu Bufan, today it might not be you who kills me! Haha, let me tell you, after I kill you, I will definitely enjoy your woman thoroughly." Huang Zhong looked at Long Na, licked his lips, his gaze filled with lust.
