Chapter 935: Chapter 931: Within Reach Chapter 935: Chapter 931: Within Reach Silence.

Dead silence.

Three cars drew closer, less than ten meters apart, yet no sound from any other vehicle was heard.

There were no gunshots, no roars, only the rumble of engines.

It inevitably made one wonder if Lin Sai and Zhuomuke really were dead.

“Is it over?”

Chaman raised an eyebrow, breaking the deathly silence in the car first.

Sisko kept his gaze fixed on the vehicles, placing his hand on Grace’s shoulder, “Ask them.”

Grace took the communicator from beside her, slowly moved it closer to her mouth, and nervously asked, “Zhuomuke, what’s the situation?”

“Sssss.”

There was no response.

Grace turned to exchange a glance with Sisko, then looked back at Chaman in the back seat, and then Guvas.

An eerie sense of absurdity spread among each person’s heart.

Grace felt like she was in a horror movie where the protagonist group splits up at a crossroad, only to find that the other side has lost contact and cannot be reached, until at some corner, the blood-drenched heads are discovered.

“Cough, cough… sss…”

In the deathly silence, the coughing from the communicator was quite abrupt but also injected a bit of vitality.

Grace gripped the communicator tightly, “Lin Sai? Is that you, Lin Sai? How’s it going?”

“The situation… it’s bad.”

——–
Lin Sai cautiously raised his eyes.

The gun barrel pressed against his forehead was painful, and from the rearview mirror, he could clearly see several red marks on the skin around the gun barrel.

“Did you hear that? These two are now my hostages, I’m driving the vehicle, don’t think about shooting at the cabin, I’ve tied them both to the passenger seat, unless you don’t care about their lives.”

A different male voice came through the communicator, unmistakably his.

Grace looked to her side, where the passenger side window was slowly rolled down, revealing the bound Lin Sai and Zhuomuke.

Both faces were bruised and wounded, quite a sorry sight.

Although the passenger seat was relatively large, it evidently couldn’t accommodate two grown men comfortably; the window was completely blocked-off, making it impossible to launch a direct attack past them.

With one hand on the steering wheel, Bi Fang used his other hand to grab a small lion cub beside him and stuffed it into a bag.

Finding a lion cub in the car was truly an unexpected pleasure.

Before jumping into the car, Bi Fang had only noticed that this vehicle had fewer people; aiming for a weak spot, he did not anticipate that this vehicle would carry Cecil’s cubs.

There were six in total, exactly matching the number reported by Old Barry, all here.

Bi Fang immediately found a large bag in the car, preparing to take them with him.

However, since he needed to keep the car steady, grabbing all six lion cubs single-handedly was indeed not so easy.

After grasping the scruff of one cub that struggled to jump out of the bag, Bi Fang stuffed it back into the bag, and just at that moment, another one escaped, climbing up his chest to his neck, biting at his hair.

As he pulled the lion down again, Bi Fang spoke casually to the Poacher on the other end of the communicator, “Let’s negotiate, what exactly do you want? Revenge for your comrades or something else?”

Sisko snatched the communicator, “Stop the car, then release everyone, including the cubs, and throw your backpack over here, drive away in the car ahead, and we’re even.”

By now, the opponents were no longer just troublesome.

Sisko really intended to take the diamonds and the cubs and leave, as for the Lion King Cecil, items worth hundreds of thousands were already inconsequential.

“Really, you’re going to let them go?”

“Damn, isn’t Old Fang the one with the hostages? Why does it seem like the other side has the upper hand?”

“They definitely have the advantage. The others even have submachine guns; they were thinking of firing earlier.”

“How can we make a deal if the other side cheats?”

“We can’t give in. Trusting the Poachers is worse than believing someone can beat me up on a Thursday.”

Bi Fang zipped up the bag and continued the conversation, “The cubs are off-limits! You’re after the diamonds, right? I can only give you the diamonds!”

Sisko clenched his teeth, glanced around at his companions, and finally made up his mind, “Fine, release everyone and leave behind the diamonds, then we’re even.”

The bag of diamonds was worth over thirty million, more than enough!

“The diamonds are in the car up ahead. We’ll stop and find a place to swap; see that small grove to your right? We’ll go there.”

The small grove on the right.

Everyone in the car instinctively looked in that direction, including Zhuomuke and Lin Sai, who heard the conversation.

But no one could have anticipated that Bi Fang would seize this opportunity to suddenly swerve the steering wheel!

The two cars, originally driving side by side, instantly drew closer!

As the viewers in the live stream had said, trusting the Poachers was worse than believing someone could beat them up on a Thursday!

From the beginning, Bi Fang had never intended to negotiate with the Poachers!

“Watch out!!!”

Sisko, in the back seat with a broader view, caught a glimpse of the car crashing toward them out of the corner of his eye and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, screaming loudly.

Grace heard the shout and instantly became aware of the danger, instinctively turning the steering wheel in the same direction, but he quickly realized, and after turning it halfway, he spun it back around.

He was intentionally colliding with Bi Fang!

It wasn’t that Grace was exceptionally brave; he had no other choice.

At such a high speed and irregular road surface, avoiding in the same direction would destabilize the already laterally affected vehicle, and if hit, it would likely rollover!

Only a head-on collision could offset the force!

But from realization to reaction, with a mishandled response in between, there was no time left!

A massive force transmitted through the car, subjecting everyone to a strong inertial force, tipping them to the other side of the vehicle, feeling as if the world was spinning around.

And Grace’s two turns of the steering wheel allowed the originally side-by-side SUV to fall back by one car length when struck, overtaking them unexpectedly.

“Here’s your steering wheel back!”

Bi Fang, well-prepared, was barely affected by the collision. He released the steering wheel, climbed out the window with the backpack full of lion cubs, and leaped onto the car barely three meters ahead, landing back inside right in front of Palmer.

Palmer, who witnessed the entire process, was completely stunned.

He had never thought someone could go to such lengths!

How could this be possible?

Meanwhile, seeing Bi Fang let go of the steering wheel, Zhuomuke and Lin Sai, terrified, twisted their bound bodies like worms, finally reaching the edge of losing control of the steering wheel and steadied it with their faces.

Bi Fang, carrying the backpack, crawled back through the rear window, stepping over the two unconscious bodies, and returned to the driver’s seat.

By that time, the forest was already within sight.

When the dizzied Grace and others came to their senses and accelerated, they found that the chase, which had seemed within reach, had suddenly stretched a hundred meters apart.
