Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

531-535

The atmosphere in the car froze suddenly.

Yun Xi tilted her head to examine the road conditions and terrain outside the window while checking the speed of the car on the dashboard.

The man felt certain that he wasn't overestimating Yun Xi's strength, but he didn't want to let her go easily either, so he'd stepped on the accelerator and speeded the car up.

The car sped along on the bumpy mud and sand road. After a while, what seemed like a heavily populated village appeared not that far away.

Yun Xi had a vague hunch in her heart. It seemed as if he wasn't planning to let her go.

But that was okay, she would take this opportunity to see their base up close.

The car came to an abrupt stop. It seemed as if they had finally reached their territory.

Yun Xi was wondering about why they would build their stronghold in a crowded village when she noticed a blue street sign that was flashing as they drove past an intersection.

She saw that it said border.

It suddenly occurred to her that City C was very near the border of Country Y. They had been traveling for more than two hours since she had been kidnapped.

Since she'd just seen that sign, it meant that they had reached the border.

For many, many years, there had been much instability at the border. Various incidents were always taking place around here.

They had been trying to capture Crocodile for such a long time, but they'd been unsuccessful. Apart from his occasional exits and entries, most of them had never seen him before.

Now they had arrived at their territory, and it was a village in an important place near the border, so it must be patrolled frequently.

The slightest skirmish would inevitably disturb the people who lived nearby.

As soon as anyone made a move, the authorities would definitely search the entire surrounding area. Even if Crocodile had wings, he wouldn't be able to easily escape this border area.

Knowing all this, Yun Xi no longer had anything to worry about from the gun that was aiming at her from the passenger seat.

Opening fire would be the equivalent of exposing them as a target. She wouldn't need to run because someone would come to rescue her.

Before the car entered the village, since many of the chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep raised by the villagers were wandering around the lanes, the car was forced to slow down.

There were lush forests beyond the village on both sides of the street. As the car dodged some ducks that had wandered into the road, Yun Xi suddenly lowered the window of the car.

She pushed the woman whose arms she had dislocated toward the passenger seat, rolled over and jumped out of the car window.

At this moment, she had only one thought in mind: to thank Li Zilan for teaching her the necessary skills to escape from a car.

After she had been kidnapped the last time, Li Zilan hadn't taught her how to fire a gun or how to engage in close combat, but how to jump out of a car quickly...

In order to teach her this, Li Zilan had laid an enormous mat on the site of Tianyu Mountain where they practiced. The scene had been spectacular.

Driving the car, Li Zilan had taught her how to open the window, roll over on the seat, and jump out through a narrow window.
