"Ah-Ling," Shuyin called out, her voice carrying firmness despite its weakness. "Which car can you drive us in? I need you to take us back to the mansion using a secret route. No main roads. No tracked paths. No one can follow us."
Since the woman was literally stuck to her neck with a blade, she would have to bring her along. And definitely not in the same car as Yuyan and Lu Yuze, she didn't want to endanger them with whatever chaos was about to unfold.
Who knows when she can suddenly go feral?
Ah-Ling processed this impossible request with the kind of professional efficiency that made him invaluable. "The backup vehicle, Madam. Let me bring it around."
He gestured to one of the other drivers, who immediately ran to fetch a different sedan, identical to the first but unmarked, without the distinctive plates that would identify it as belonging to Lu Yuze's fleet.
"I want that sedan," Shuyin specified, pointing to a particular vehicle. "That one. And you drive. No one else."
