Chapter 412 -412: Servant’s Needle (Part 5)_1 Chapter 412 -412: Servant’s Needle (Part 5)_1 A safe place.
Through the car window, Fu Qian watched the all-encompassing curtain of rain outside, not eager to speak.
Although the female officer spoke with sincerity, and her explanation was plausible.
But considering the mysterious nature of the world, Fu Qian didn’t believe it was something as simple as a virus spreading.
“What’s wrong, don’t believe what I said?”
Seeing Fu Qian silent, Kelly immediately responded with a cold laugh.
“Then I can take you back, I bet you won’t survive 5 minutes.”
“Forget it, I just experienced workplace violence; by now my access card might have already stopped working.”
Fu Qian rested his chin on his hand.
“Could you introduce me to the safe area you mentioned, where is it?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not far from here. With our current momentum, we’ll get there in no time,” Kelly said with a smile.
“Over there, my colleagues and I can barely maintain order. Once enough people have gathered, we’ll organize to leave this place.”
“Got it!”
Fu Qian snapped his fingers, but his gaze fell on Kelly’s left hand.
Now he could clearly see that near her elbow on her forearm, there was a hastily bandaged wound.
“Your arm?”
“Just a minor injury, nothing serious,” Kelly said nonchalantly, glancing at the seeping blood.
“This place is full of hidden dangers—”
The next moment, a sharp screeching of brakes sounded and her words abruptly stopped.
Under the great inertia, Fu Qian felt his body tighten, following the rapidly spinning car.
Slamming on the brakes in the rain is extremely dangerous, luckily I have the good habit of wearing a seat belt.
Even in the backseat.
Fu Qian quickly adjusted his posture to counter the impact, and even amidst the spinning chaos, he caught a glimpse of the outside.
During that fleeting moment, he noticed a figure standing in the pouring rain with an umbrella just where they were a moment ago.
The rotating car narrowly missed the person, yet they didn’t move an inch.
Bang!
In the next instant, with a loud noise, the car crashed heavily against a roadside pillar.
But it was this obstruction that finally brought the car to a stop, saving it from tipping over.
A shaken Kelly, after coughing violently a few times, unbuckled her seat belt and tried to open the car door.
“Are you okay?”
Only then did she remember Fu Qian in the back seat and turned to ask.
“I’m fine.”
Surprisingly, he seemed to be in much better shape than she was, not even a scratch on him.
Not only that, he even calmly gestured with his mouth towards something next to her.
Following Fu Qian’s hint, Kelly realized that the figure standing in the middle of the road had, at this point, already arrived at the car door.
At this moment, the person was looking down at her through the open door.
Kelly almost instinctively pulled out her gun.

In such torrential rain, it was inconceivable that someone would be standing in the middle of the road; she had almost killed herself unexpectedly.
Luckily, she was calm enough at first to barely keep control of the steering wheel.
Now she could clearly see the person holding the umbrella.
It was a woman in her thirties, clad in a blue dress suit, her face as pale as paper, staring straight at them.
“Ma’am, do you need help?” Kelly asked, trying to keep her voice steady, though her gaze inadvertently dropped to the woman’s lower half.
On the black asphalt, the woman was barefoot.
At this moment, under the pounding rain, her feet seemed even whiter than her face.
“Officer, can you take me to find my husband?” the woman towering above asked in a faint voice that sounded eerily chilling, more ghostly than human.
“Don’t worry.”
Even though she tried to hide it, Fu Qian could still hear Kelly’s heavy breathing.
Subjected to such a high and mighty scrutiny, it was indeed difficult to control the psychological pressure.
“Where is your husband?”
Finally managing to adjust her emotions, Kelly asked cautiously.
“He has been gone for a long time; I’m worried he’s lost.”
The woman with the umbrella bent down, almost pressing her face close to Kelly’s, and said airily.
“So I want to find a police officer to help.”
“All right, I’ll take you to find him. Please come to the front.”
Kelly swallowed hard and at last spoke slowly.
“Thank you!”
The woman let out a cryptic laugh, and her head finally retracted.
Click!
The next moment, Kelly almost immediately shut the car door and then pressed hard on the accelerator.
Clearly, she had no intention of sticking to her police duties; she decided it was best to leave immediately.
However, what she hadn’t expected was that the car had been hit so hard that the front was now directly stuck; she couldn’t manage to drive away successfully.
In a panic, Kelly instinctively wanted to reverse, but at that moment, click, the passenger door was opened from the outside.
In her hurry earlier, she had not even locked the doors.
“Thank you!”
The woman’s half-body almost instantaneously slid in.
Kelly’s body stiffened, her hand clutching the gun tightened, but in the end, she did not raise it.
Let alone whether she was innocent, even if there was something wrong with her, in such a cramped space, it was difficult to estimate what would happen if she fired.
As she was in a dilemma, the woman half-sat on the seat, turning with some difficulty to close her umbrella.
Ah—
Kelly squeezed out an uncontrollable gasp from her throat, but Fu Qian promptly covered it back up.
As the woman turned, another face was revealed through the swinging of her hair.
That face was equally pallid, the visage of a somewhat plump middle-aged man, with a vacant stare.
And then, as if snapping out of a daze, his eyes locked onto Kelly.
“Hello.”
His tone was confused, apparently unclear on the situation.
“Did something happen? I went out to buy breakfast, but the roads seemed particularly long today; I couldn’t find the usual shop…”
“Oh, we just shut down his stall.”
Seeing Kelly at a loss, Fu Qian quickly took over the conversation.
“Ah…”
The man’s face looked very surprised.
“How could…”
“The hygiene conditions weren’t up to standard.”
Fu Qian continued to make up stories without batting an eye.
Click!
At this time, however, the woman’s body had already put away the umbrella and casually closed the car door.
“Officer, I think I just heard his voice.”
She turned to look at Kelly, her words filled with surprise.
When she noticed Fu Qian in the back seat, she seemed taken aback.
“I’m sorry; I didn’t know there was someone else in the car. Did I delay your task?”
She apologized immediately, but couldn’t help explaining to Kelly.
“But I really did hear his voice just now; was I mistaken?”
“You’re not mistaken; we heard it too.”
Fu Qian nodded.
“He must be nearby; it’s just that visibility is poor, making him hard to find.”
“I think you can wait for him inside here. We’ll leave the lights on, and if he sees the police car, he will surely come over for help.”
“Hmm… okay!”
The woman hesitated for a moment, as if it took her a while to grasp Fu Qian’s suggestion, and then she slowly nodded.
