From the first time Bai Ling saw Ling Zhenfei, it was when Ling Zhenfei was waiting for Zheng Tingting in the square, and in the end, it was Zheng Tingting who drove to pick up Ling Zhenfei.

"Because I knew their family when I was in the provincial city, I could only go to their house when I came here. This time, I went to their house because Chunyu was recuperating there; the purpose of my visit to the provincial city was to pick up Chunyu, so of course I had to go to the Zheng family."

"Is this really the only relationship you have with her? Zheng Tingting is the precious daughter of the Zheng Corporation, a returnee from abroad who studied overseas and is also very beautiful. Aren't you moved by that?" Bai Ling was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Ling Zhenfei sent a voice message directly to Bai Ling, saying, "What you're saying is really strange. There are many beautiful girls; do you think I should like every one I see? Besides, you know that Zheng Tingting is beautiful and comes from a good family, so why would she have to like me, right? Aren't you thinking too much?"

"Hmph, I knew it, you're interested in her. Don't you forget what you promised me, that you won't marry anyone but me, that's what you promised me."

"From which sentence did you hear that I was interested in Zheng Tingting? It's really just a friendship, and I'm too lazy to explain." Ling Zhenfei truly felt somewhat helpless; it seemed like Bai Ling was really clinging to him, and she was being a bit too nosy.

As Ling Zhenfei chatted with Bai Ling, he felt inexplicably gloomy. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a car door opening. He was startled for a moment and then realized that, unbeknownst to him, the car had already stopped. Looking towards the car door, he saw the driver unexpectedly open the door and step out.

Ling Zhenfei was alarmed and quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

The driver seemed to be in a rush, turned his head back towards Ling Zhenfei, and said, "Just a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying this, the driver ran off to the side as if flying. Ling Zhenfei didn't have time to react, thinking the driver had simply stopped the car to buy something due to a sudden need, but when he looked outside the window, he suddenly froze.

The surroundings looked very desolate. What were once bustling skyscrapers had now become low-rise houses, and there were no people around, not even the sound of cars, and the car was parked right in the middle of an intersection.

The driver was too irresponsible, even if something urgent had come up, he shouldn't have left the car in the middle of the intersection. At that moment, Ling Zhenfei heard the sound of a car, but the sound shocked him to his core.

Because the vehicle approaching at full speed towards him was not just one large truck, but four large trucks coming from four different directions, heading straight towards Ling Zhenfei's car.

An icy sweat broke out on Ling Zhenfei's forehead as he immediately realized there was definitely a problem. How could it be that his car had just stopped in the middle of the road, and the driver had left, and four large trucks were speeding towards his car from all directions? It was clear that there was a problem, and it was very possible that these four trucks' objective was to kill him.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly tried to open the door with his hand, but at that moment he discovered that the car door he was at wouldn't open; it had been completely locked.

By now, Ling Zhenfei was sure he had walked into a trap. Reflecting from the beginning, everything seemed questionable. First was the car: he couldn't be certain whether it was really sent by Zheng Tingting, nor did he know who Zheng Tingting had sent to pick him up, and the driver hadn't mentioned it either. The driver was just holding up a sign, and he had approached it on his own initiative.

Then there was the environment around him, which seemed to have been deliberately arranged, and those four speeding trucks that conveniently appeared at the same time—if that wasn't a setup, then what was?

Ling Zhenfei felt like he could already see Zhang Ying's face filled with a cold sneer; all of this was likely another well-planned assassination.

Ling Zhenfei summoned all his Spiritual Power and with one punch shattered the car window glass, intending to escape through it, but it was already too late. Even if he could get out, he would be directly in the path of the oncoming massive truck.

The four big trucks were already very close. At that moment, Ling Zhenfei could see that the people inside the cabins of the four trucks had jumped out. One of them was Zhang Ying, who, with a cold sneer, clearly felt he held the winning cards.

If it were anyone else, they simply wouldn't have survived. The four trucks were moving very fast, leaving no time to escape the vehicle. Once all four trucks collided with the car at the same time, the vehicle would instantly be smashed into a pile of scrap metal, and utterly worthless at that.

The collision between the four vehicles had been calculated with precision, so the trucks would hit the Santana from all four directions simultaneously. The Santana sedan would be like a paper ball, viciously clenched in a hand. As the four trucks crashed together, their fronts severely deformed, the Santana's gas tank exploded violently upon impact, flames shot up to the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

Zhang Ying stood by the intersection, looking at the gruesome accident scene with a hint of a cold smile. A few people appeared beside him, including the driver of the Santana.

"Should be completely dead by now, right?" someone asked, looking at the smoke billowing from the scene.

"Of course, he's dead. Not even ten lives would be enough," Zhang Ying said with a light smile on his face.

"Good he's dead. That avenges the loss of our men. Never seen such a tough target to take down."

"Once we set our sights on someone, they won't continue to live in this world. He killed three of us, so I made sure he died the most miserable death," Zhang Ying boasted arrogantly.

"How frightening that sounds! I didn't die from the crash, almost got scared to death by your words," came a sudden voice.

The unexpected sound caused Zhang Ying and the others to startle; the smiles that had been on their faces became rigid as they hurriedly looked toward the source of the voice. They saw a man standing not far from them, grinning at them – if it wasn't Ling Zhenfei, who else could it be?

"You, how are you not dead? Are you a human or a ghost?"

The first impression someone had upon seeing Ling Zhenfei was as if they had seen a ghost. They had clearly witnessed him being killed in the car crash, so how could he possibly be standing in front of them now if not a ghost?

"Of course, I am a ghost. Could I possibly not die with you lot being so formidable?"

Ling Zhenfei had, of course, not died. Just when the collision occurred, he had used all of the Northern Spiritual Energy in his body to strike the roof of the car, creating a large hole, and had escaped the instant before the truck struck.

Under the cover of the thick smoke and flames from the explosion, no one noticed him. He had hidden not far away, watching Zhang Ying and the others, which is why he had overheard the conversation just now.

"Everyone, no need to panic; he's human, not a ghost," Zhang Ying reassured his men without any delay, being able to distinguish whether it was a person or a ghost.

"But he was clearly killed by us, it's impossible for him to have survived." The man was more cowardly and could not understand whether Ling Zhenfei was human or ghost, which made him very frightened.
