The night was as silent as ink, and it was in this quiet night that on the highway from Provincial City Jinling to Binyang, a luxury car was speeding like a bird in flight.
Several people were seated inside the car, but the most prominent among them, the one who would leave a significant impression with just a glance, was a middle-aged man sitting in the back seat.
This middle-aged man was dressed in a dark green suit, his demeanor strict and solemn, sitting there as if he were a statue. He hadn't uttered a word, while those sitting beside him, seemingly feeling an intense pressure bearing down, none dared to break the silence inside the car.
Perhaps because the middle-aged man had been taking a long trip and it was late into the night, he appeared somewhat tired, slightly closing his eyes and resting his head on the headrest to doze off.
Screech!
Just as the middle-aged man closed his eyes, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of emergency braking.
