Huo Jingting started the engine, and just a second before the car moved out, Gu Nanqiao suddenly felt something was off. It seemed like a dark shadow was rapidly approaching from behind. By the time she realized it, it was too late.
It turned out he could miscalculate too. His so-called "persuasion" had not resolved the situation.
A lighter, ablaze with flame, was thrown in through the wide-open car window. A sense of danger overwhelmed her, and in that instant, Gu Nanqiao's mind went blank. She lost the ability to react and had no idea how to dodge.
Fortunately, Huo Jingting reacted much faster than her. As the lighter was thrown in, he grabbed her shoulders and forcefully pulled her towards him, then reached out to block the lighter from hitting her.
"Damn it!"
In the midst of her blank mind, Gu Nanqiao heard his curse.
