Chapter 366: It’s Trinity Village

Xu Xiaoxiao was not a fool and wisely kept his mouth shut.

Suddenly, Zhou Hengyang flung the door of the speeding car open.

He anchored himself to the car’s frame and held himself aloft using the strength of his legs. Leveraging his weight, he swung himself atop the car. “What are you doing?!” Xu Xiaoxiao cursed fiercely. Alarmed, he almost slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, his reaction time was impeccable, and his motor skills were stellar.

If he had stepped on the brakes, Zhou Hengyang would probably have shot off the roof like a pebble released by a slingshot. Keeping his speed constant allowed Zhou Hengyang to climb onto the roof of the car without much issue.

“Are you looking to die?! ” Xu Xiaoxiao held the steering wheel with one hand while easily shifting gears with the other, his feet maintaining a delicate balance between clutch and accelerator. He cursed Zhou Hengyang to bits, wishing he could have just flung him wide by stepping on the brakes and be done with him.

And everyone thought he, Xu Xiaoxiao, was the crazy one! Once upon a time, hadn’t Zhou Hengyang despised him for his childishly reckless behavior? How was this any different?

“Drive faster.” Zhou Hengyang’s cold voice sounded from the car’s roof. Because the car was moving so fast, his voice distorted, sounding especially grave.

“Why?” Xu Xiaoxiao did as commanded. “What’s wrong?”

“Fire!” Zhou Hengyang himself did not realize how his voice cracked as he spoke.

“What fire?”

“Trinity Village is on fire!” From his vantage point on the car’s roof, he could

see the hazy wisps carried on the backs of roiling embers as they rode into the night. Judging from the direction of the wind, Zhou Hengyang was certain a fire had broken out in Trinity Village.

He could not be wrong.

Zhou Hengyang flopped into the passenger seat like a fish out of water, pale and listless.

He shut the door, silencing the whipping wind as it lashed at the car. It only seemed to increase the sound of his violent heartbeat in his ears.

Zhou Hengyang could feel his heart racing, threatening to burst out of his chest. He struggled with the feeling, pressing a hand against his heart. He could not breathe; his lungs felt like lead, a clawed hand viciously squeezing the air out of his lungs. The pain was torture.

Had anyone had the chance to glimpse his face, they would have noticed his unnaturally pale parlor, white as a sheet and cold as ice. Despite having his eyes on the road, Xu Xiaoxiao sensed the changes in his cousin, even as the darkened car made it difficult to discern Zhou Hengyang’s exact emotional state.

It was his first time seeing Zhou Hengyang so distressed! Since they were children, he had always believed his cousin was a hateful scumbag deserving of a beating because he only knew how to bully people.

Granted, he also gave Xu Xiaoxiao the impression of a stubborn, hard-to-kill cockroach: it was just how tenacious he was.

A person who lacked such attributes would not have been able to bully others, let alone someone like him.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you alright?” Xu Xiaoxiao demanded. Panic and worry seemed to war with each other in his tone.

He thought of Zhou Hengshan, who had passed away at a young age. For some reason, a bad feeling welled in his chest.

“Don’t think too much. Just focus on the road.”

Zhou Hengyang easily saw through Xu Xiaoxiao’s thoughts. “I’m fine. I’m worried about Su Wen.”

“The fire at Trinity Village might have nothing to do with Su Wen.” It was a rare act of compassion for Xu Xiaoxiao to attempt to comfort his cousin.

“You don’t know that.” Zhou Hengyang had felt a constant hum of fear coiling in his gut, urging him on desperately. It was the same feeling he had when his twin, Hengshan, fell into danger.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Hengyang did his best to unclutter his mind and stop himself from jumping to conclusions. He kept his eyes glued to the distant haze of smoke and ash, willing the car to move faster.

Xu Xiaoxiao was a deft hand at piloting fighter jets, which translated well to his skill in driving cars across complex terrain with little to no vision. The mountain roads were rugged and well-worn, with no lamp in sight. The only source of illumination came from the car’s headlights. Yet, despite these handicaps, Xu Xiaoxiao still managed to navigate the way to Trinity Village at high speed.

The car was moving so fast that it practically drifted around sharp bends. A single slip of the steering wheel would send them rocketing down the cliff in a halo of fire, not unlike the one burning in the distance..
