Shen Zhilie narrowed his eyes and raised his guard. He had always possessed a keen sense of awareness. He knew that this feeling of unease hadn’t come out of nowhere.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Qianqian saw Shen Zhilie stay still for a long while and reached out to nudge his hand.

Shen Zhilie shook his head gently and said, “It’s fine. Sit tight.”

Ye Qianqian buckled her seatbelt and held on tight to the door. Shen Zhilie looked to his left and to his right once more before finally turning on the ignition. He buckled up and moved the car forward.

Ye Qianqian noticed how watchful he was of his surroundings, and her hair stood on end. Shen Zhilie never acted this way. His actions today were very unusual!

“Old Shen, what did you see?” As Ye Qianqian voiced this question, she trembled. She whipped her head around, only to see the beautiful interior of the luxury car shrouded in darkness. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Shen Zhilie, on the other hand, was stunned by Ye Qianqian’s sudden movement. “What is it?” The fear was palpable in Shen Zhilie’s eyes.

Ye Qianqian felt as if her heart were about to jump out of her throat. “I think I’m about to go crazy! What am I going to do? I’m even afraid of my own shadow now!”

“Don’t be afraid. Just relax…” Shen Zhilie drove the car out of the parking lot as he spoke to her in a calm and reassuring tone. His voice had the ability to help her relax. However, Shen Zhilie’s attention wasn’t wholly focused on calming Ye Qianqian down. Instead, time and again, his eyes darted around at his surroundings and the rearview mirror. Once they were out on the main road and out of the downtown area, Shen Zhilie accelerated.

Ye Qianqian was busy being lulled by his voice when she finally realized something was amiss. “You’re heading in the wrong direction,” she remarked.

“Yeah, I know.” Shen Zhilie kept glancing into the rearview mirror as he drove. “I want to break-in the car on the road. It’s not a bad idea to take a little detour.”

“What?” This was Ye Qianqian’s first time hearing of such a thing. She looked at Shen Zhilie and realized that his mind was preoccupied with something else. “What are you doing?” she asked.

“Shh. Just sit quietly.” Shen Zhilie continued driving the car steadily but suddenly floored the gas pedal. Ye Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat as she sat tight in silence.

However, after observing both side-view mirrors, as well as the rearview mirror in the middle, Ye Qianqian didn’t find anything odd. Still, Shen Zhilie’s reaction couldn’t help but make her feel nervous. Ye Qianqian asked hesitantly, “Are we being followed?”

Shen Zhilie didn’t reply, and merely increased the car’s speed. Ye Qianqian turned her head back to look. Only when all the cars behind them finally disappeared into the distance did Shen Zhilie slow the car down.

“Was someone tailing us just now?” A layer of cold sweat covered Ye Qianqian’s brow. She looked into Shen Zhilie’s eyes with lingering fear and worry.

Shen Zhilie shook his head. “No. It was just a false alarm.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I was just being extra careful and testing the waters. If it really was the person from this morning and he followed us to Youyou’s house, Youyou and Third Li would have been in danger, too. But fortunately, my worries were unfounded.”

“Why did you suddenly get so suspicious out of the blue?” Ye Qianqian sensed that there was something more here than met the eye. Shen Zhilie wasn’t skittish like she was. If Shen Zhilie had his guard up, it had to be because he had really seen or felt something.

“What do you mean by ‘out of the blue’? I was clearly influenced by you!” Shen Zhilie chuckled. With his hands on the steering wheel, he said helplessly, “Switch on the GPS. I’m lost.”

Ye Qianqian was speechless.
