Chapter 679 -679: Miss Xu, Don’t Get Out of the Car
Xu Chaomu’s face turned white instantly; she saw that the gun was aimed exactly at Uncle Cheng’s temple, without deviation.
Uncle Cheng was very calm, but he also dared not make any rash moves.
The man in the black hood was pushing Uncle Cheng, revealing only his eyes, but those eyes were filled with ferocity, cruelty, and ice-coldness.
Xu Chaomu met his gaze and was immediately frightened, her heart beating non-stop.
It truly did not stop beating, faster than it ever had before.

But she tried to remain calm, trying to steady her breathing.
However, the area over her heart kept “pounding,” it simply couldn’t calm down, and her breathing became more and more rapid.
“Who are you?” Xu Chaomu lowered her voice, looking at the man.
She always felt that his eyes were very familiar, very familiar.
But she was so nervous at the moment that she couldn’t remember where she had seen those cruel eyes.
There was a long scar over the man’s eyes, dividing that area into two, which made him look extremely ferocious and brutal.
Xu Chaomu was scared, very scared.
The man raised his hand, pointing the gun at Uncle Cheng’s head, before he finally spoke in a deep voice, “Can’t you recognize who it is?”
That voice was low, hoarse, and terrifying.

But the tenser the situation, the blanker her mind became.
She urgently began to search through her memory … searching …
Who was it? Who was this person?!
That voice, those eyes, and … she noticed that one of his arms was missing!
That meant the man only had one arm!
Who could it be? She didn’t know many people, and she believed she didn’t have any enemies.
Her mind was racing, one familiar face after another surfaced in her mind as she tried to search through each one.
Suddenly, her mind lit up, and she felt an immense clarity.
It was Zhou Peitian! Zhou Peitian!
Yes, it was him; those eyes were too familiar. Though they now bore a scar, they were definitely Zhou Peitian’s!
And there was the fact that one of his arms was missing, if she remembered correctly, that was the very arm Shen Chi had destroyed on the cruise ship years ago.
She couldn’t remember what happened afterward because she too had been shot later and since then, had not followed any affairs back home.
After returning to the country this time, she heard that Zhou Peitian had been driven to a dead end five years ago, lost his wife and children, and ultimately jumped off a building.
Could it be that he survived the jump from the building?
So, he had come for revenge?!
Xu Chaomu’s heart was pounding chaotically; she couldn’t suppress the turbulent waves inside of her.
The vicious waves kept hitting her chest.
Sitting in the passenger seat, she gripped the seatbelt even tighter, her whole body trembling.
She tried her best to control herself and not to show any panic in front of Zhou Peitian.
Her lips moved, but she found herself too frightened to speak.
On the other hand, Uncle Cheng was quite composed as he said calmly, “She is just a weak woman. Let her go, and I will go with you.”
Zhou Peitian scoffed and tapped Uncle Cheng’s head with the gun, “How much is your life worth?”
Xu Chaomu was certain, Zhou Peitian had come for her.
But she had no grudges with Zhou Peitian, which meant he was more likely here to seek revenge on Shen Chi.
Years ago, Shen Chi had disabled his arm and ruined his family, making it impossible for him to live in C City; he was even forced to jump from a building, he must have developed an intense hatred for Shen Chi.
But all this, wasn’t it the result of Zhou Peitian’s own doings?
Back then, it was Zhou Peitian who had kidnapped her and Bai Man to threaten Shen Chi.
Only the later developments were very convoluted.
She knew that eventually, the diamond mine project still went to her third brother, Shen Shihan, and because of that incident, Shen Chi nearly lost his president position and was nearly expelled from Shen Group!
Only during those five years, Shen Chi had not been by her side, nor had she been by his.
In each other’s lives, they had each lost five whole years.
She tried hard to calm herself and looked towards Zhou Peitian’s terrifying eyes, saying lightly, “What do you want?”
“What do I want? What do you think?” Zhou Peitian sneered sinisterly.
“You can have money, but don’t harm a woman,” Uncle Cheng shouted.
“Shut up!” Zhou Peitian warned Uncle Cheng. At that moment, wearing a black hood, his facial expressions were completely hidden.
But Xu Chaomu could tell from his eyes that the man was fierce all over.
What attitude had he brought this time? Was it to face certain death?
Probably, the man no longer cared about life and death; five years ago, he was as good as dead once.
“Get out of the car!” Zhou Peitian glared at Xu Chaomu, ordering her.
Xu Chaomu clutched the seatbelt, sheltering herself in the passenger seat.
Uncle Cheng said nervously, “Miss Xu, don’t get out of the car; call Shen Chi!”
Zhou Peitian, his finger on the trigger, shouted, “If you fucking call, I’ll blow his brains out right now!”
Xu Chaomu was scared stiff. She had already not dared to call during such a time, and with Zhou Peitian’s threat, she was even less likely to dare.
“Miss Xu, don’t worry about me, call Shen Chi and run for it!” Uncle Cheng said.
“Shut your fucking mouth!”
Zhou Peitian suddenly shot in a fit of madness. The bullet hit Uncle Cheng in the arm!
With a “bang,” Xu Chaomu was so frightened that she covered her ears.
Blood gushed out from Uncle Cheng’s arm, soaking his clothes red.
“Ah…” Uncle Cheng turned pale, screamed in pain, clutching his arm, nearly collapsing to the ground.
The pain was intense and bone-deep!
“Zhou Peitian, stop!” Xu Chaomu yelled at him.
“I’ll stop, sure, get out!” Zhou Peitian roared.
Uncle Cheng’s arm was bleeding profusely, not only his body, but the ground was also covered in blood.
Xu Chaomu realized that Zhou Peitian had become utterly ruthless at this point.
He had gone mad, she had initially thought he was just trying to intimidate them, but now, he had truly dared to shoot Uncle Cheng.
If she didn’t get out, he would definitely shoot Uncle Cheng in the temple next!

And if she opened the car door, she wouldn’t be able to run far either because she was pregnant.
Uncle Cheng, in agony, clutched his arm; his facial features distorted with pain, and his complexion turned white!
“Miss Xu…” he called out to her painfully.
His eyes told her to run, to run fast!
However, Xu Chaomu knew she couldn’t run.
Five years ago, she had escaped Zhou Peitian’s clutches because, at that time, she was alone; she could climb through windows and crawl through forests.
But now, that was not possible; she had a baby inside her, she couldn’t risk her child’s safety.
“Get out!” Zhou Peitian shouted coldly again, his gaze brutal.
The air was thick with the scent of blood, a strong odor that permeated the atmosphere, dissolving into tiny molecules.
This smell sent chills down Xu Chaomu’s spine.
The atmosphere was extremely tense, and the road was very quiet.
