14: It needs maintenance.

Qin Shou's expression was grave, and he spoke to Ren Jing in a serious tone. Simultaneously, he secretly activated his Skill and Manliness abilities, attempting to calm her emotions and instill a sense of trust in him.

Ren Jing looked at Qin Shou, who was now frowning intently and staring fixedly out the car window. For some reason, a strange sense of security and stability suddenly welled up in her heart, and her originally panicked mind quickly calmed down.

Her pretty face also flushed slightly due to the recent close contact, making her look especially captivating.

However, Qin Shou was currently in no mood to pay attention to Ren Jing's complicated thoughts. His nerves were highly strung, and all his attention was focused outside the car window.

Two black heavy motorcycles were currently flanking the Hongqi sedan they were riding in, trapping it between them.

The riders on the motorcycles were all wearing black helmets, their faces obscured, and they tightly gripped the firearms in their hands.

Simultaneously, a black SUV was tailing the Hongqi sedan closely, sticking extremely near, capable of ramming them at any moment.

"Miss, there are assassins! Hold on tight!"

Old Fu suddenly slammed the accelerator, and the Hongqi sedan shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The engine let out a deep roar, and the car body violently shook.

Qin Shou was still pressing down on Ren Jing, and with Old Fu's sudden acceleration, their bodies were pressed even closer together.

Ren Jing's figure was truly too good; under the pressure, Qin Shou felt like his head was about to be buried, causing a sense of suffocation.

"You! Can you please get off me first! That spot of yours is poking me painfully."

Ren Jing was utterly mortified and angry. She had never been this close to a man, especially since Qin Shou was not being honest, making Ren Jing feel uncomfortable with his pressing.

"Mayor Ren, that's my phone, please don't misunderstand. My phone is in my pants pocket."

Qin Shou still tried to argue; he almost didn't want to get up, it was simply too comfortable. Crucially, given the current situation, he couldn't get up anyway! If he did, he'd be hit by two shots.

Old Fu's driving Skills were clearly seasoned. He skillfully controlled the steering wheel, weaving deftly through the highway traffic, trying to use the flow of cars to shake off the pursuit.

However, the black SUV and the two motorcycles behind them followed closely, constantly maintaining a threat to the Hongqi sedan.

The motorcyclists accelerated occasionally, trying to close in on the Hongqi sedan, but every time at the critical moment, Old Fu would shake them off with a beautiful turn.

Qin Shou observed the situation behind them through the rearview mirror. He saw a figure suddenly emerge from the SUV's sunroof, holding a long rifle. An ominous premonition immediately surged in Qin Shou's heart.

He quickly said to Ren Jing: "Mayor Ren, be careful! They have rifles!"

As he spoke, Qin Shou held Ren Jing tightly.

In truth, Qin Shou was no great saint; he would never sacrifice his life to save others. But Ren Jing had shown him kindness, and Qin Shou always handled favors and grievances clearly.

Just then, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" two more gunshots sounded. The bullets struck the car body, emitting dull impacts, and the vehicle shook slightly.

Qin Shou saw two more bullet holes appear on the car body and couldn't help but gasp. These assassins were clearly well-trained professional killers, acting with ruthless malice.

As the bullets rained down, the car body controlled by Old Fu shook more violently. However, since Ren Jing was a wealthy young lady whose identity and status were extremely sensitive, this Hongqi sedan was specially customized.

Despite being hit by dozens of bullets, it was still able to speed along the highway.

Simultaneously, Old Fu, in the driver's seat, quickly pressed a hidden button.

Black metal bulletproof shields slowly rose up outside the windows of the customized Hongqi sedan, completely covering all the windows.

Not only that, but a thick partition also rose up from the entire back seat, completely enveloping Ren Jing and Qin Shou in a fully enclosed black compartment, isolating them completely from the front driver's seat.

"This is bulletproof. The bullets can't get in now. Can you finally get off me?"

Ren Jing's expression was slightly cold, her tone carrying a hint of displeasure and reproach.

Although Qin Shou had tackled her to protect her moments ago, and she knew it was well-intentioned, there was still a difference between men and women, and the prolonged physical contact made her feel uneasy.

"Alright."

Although Qin Shou was still somewhat reluctantthe close proximity to Ren Jing's softness and scent had made his mind wanderhe knew he couldn't find any reason to keep pressing down on Ren Jing. He could only slowly get up with a hint of regret and return to his own seat.

Just then, the Hongqi sedan suddenly slammed on the brakes, followed immediately by an extremely sharp turn.

Because Qin Shou had just been pressing down on Ren Jing, his center of gravity was unstable. Coupled with the double effect of the sudden sharp turn and emergency braking, his body inevitably collided with Ren Jing.

"Ah—!"

Hit by Qin Shou, Ren Jing instinctively let out a soft, feminine cry, and her body trembled slightly. This impact was severe, making Ren Jing flush even deeper crimson and feel even angrier.

If she hadn't cried out, it might have been fine, but this sound made Qin Shou blush deeply, become distraught, and his breathing turn heavy.

One must know that they were now completely sealed within a small space by the pitch-black bulletproof shields, totally cut off from the outside world. This was the perfect scenario for a single man and woman sharing a private room.

This ambiguous and private environment easily led people to have inappropriate thoughts.

"Mayor Ren, this phone is really disobedient. I'll put it away right now."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several more gunshots consecutively rang out from outside the car. The bullets struck the body, emitting dull impacts, and the car shook even more violently.

Taking advantage of the car's violent shaking, Qin Shou, whether intentionally or unintentionally, or perhaps out of instinctive impulse, happened to brush his lips against Ren Jing's soft ones.

The Skill and Manliness abilities were activated simultaneously.

"Mm—!"

Ren Jing tried to pull away but found Qin Shou utterly brazen. Under the dual enhancement of Qin Shou's Skill and Manliness, the loneliness of maintaining her purity for so many years finally caused her to lose control.

She was confused; Ren Jing was completely bewildered. Seeing Ren Jing's resistance weaken, Qin Shou's offensive became even fiercer.

Old Fu continued to control the Hongqi sedan as it sped along the highway. His driving Skills were top-notch, and the assassins couldn't catch up immediately.

However, Old Fu didn't know why the Hongqi sedan was suddenly shaking so violently, making it much harder to control.

"Damn it! This is a customized car, why is it so unstable? It seems it has been hit by too many bullets and is already having problems. It's burning oil severely. It looks like after we escape this crisis, it will need major maintenance and a direct return to the factory."
