Inside the van.
Brother Chuan pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and a lighter, but the lighter was damp, and after several attempts, it failed to ignite.
"Damn it!" he swore, tossing the lighter aside and turning to grab Monkey, "Lighter!"
Huddled in the corner of the van, Luo Xiaoqian saw her chance, abruptly sat up, seized the door handle, and with all her might, pulled the door open, leaping out without a second thought.
Brother Chuan never expected the girl would dare to jump from the moving vehicle. He instinctively reached out to grab her, but his hand clutched at thin air.
Luo Xiaoqian crashed heavily onto the rain-soaked road. Due to the momentum of the moving car, she rolled several times before coming to a stop.
Her arms, legs, face... pain seared everywhere, but she didn't stop to check for injuries, only scrambling desperately to her feet, running towards the other side of the road.
