But now, when Zhou Xuan detected that the people in these two cars were exactly the same as the assassins who had tried to assassinate Tuluk last time, he was immediately shocked. If these two people had the same abilities as that assassin, not to mention other abilities, just that kind of indestructible superpowered bullet would be extremely terrifying.
With the two cars following closely, Zhou Xuan carefully scanned all the vehicles on the road within the range of his superpower. Fortunately, only the people in these two cars were like that; the people in the other vehicles were ordinary people. Only then did he focus all his attention on these two cars. Although he couldn't detect the complete appearance of the two people, he could still tell what the white, misty humanoid figures were doing. This was better than not being able to detect them at all.
After some thought, Zhou Xuan decided to use his special ability to test the two vehicles. As he expected, he couldn't convert or absorb them. He could only wait and see what happened.
The two cars were about 100 meters apart from their taxi, while Fu Ying's car was even further away, about 120 meters away.
Wei Xiaoyu had no idea whatsoever. There were too many vehicles on the road, and the two cars were following each other for more than a hundred meters. Apart from Zhou Xuan being able to detect them with his special ability, it would not be easy for anyone else, even the most experienced elite expert, to notice.
Zhou Xuan suddenly reached out and said, "Driver, stop the car, stop the car, we want to get off."
Although the driver couldn't hear what Zhou Xuan was saying, he understood the gesture. He immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road and stopped with a screech.

Chapter 501 Before and Now
It was still quite a distance from the hotel they were going back to. Wei Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Xuan with great surprise, wondering why he suddenly wanted to get off here. But seeing the serious and tense expression on Zhou Xuan's face, she immediately knew there must be another reason, and quickly paid the driver for the fare.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Xuan immediately activated all his supernatural protective abilities and pulled Wei Xiaoyu behind him.
After Zhou Xuan got out of the car, the two cars following behind immediately slowed down. Fu Ying, of course, didn't know this and quickly overtook the two cars. As she approached, Fu Ying saw Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu get out of the car and stand on the side of the road, looking in her direction.
Although Zhou Xuan could sense Fu Ying, he couldn't warn her of the danger or tell her not to follow. He couldn't even imagine what would happen if those two actually attacked. Even if it were a situation like the assassin who killed Tuluk, Zhou Xuan wasn't confident he could catch those bullets.
It seemed that Fu Ying would not easily give up her pursuit. If she followed like this, Zhou Xuan could even imagine that she would be accidentally injured. Although he had no memory of her at all, he did not want to see her in any danger. Subconsciously, Zhou Xuan even felt that he could do anything for Fu Ying's safety, just like Wei Xiaoyu.
So as soon as he got out of the car, Zhou Xuan looked at Fu Ying's car without much thought. As soon as she got close, he reached out and beckoned her to stop.
Fu Ying was taken aback, thinking that Zhou Xuan was going to get angry at her after discovering that she was following him, otherwise why would he have gotten out of the car to wait for her?
Although she was uneasy, Fu Ying still stopped the car and pulled over to the side of the road where Zhou Xuan was standing. Zhou Xuan didn't say a word, reached out and opened the car door, bent down and got in. Of course, he also pulled Wei Xiaoyu into the car with his other hand, and then whispered urgently to Fu Ying, "Drive, drive quickly."
Fu Ying was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Where to?" She was even more at a loss. Zhou Xuan had clearly lost his memories of her, so she couldn't treat him as the Zhou Xuan she knew. He was no longer the Zhou Xuan who belonged to her alone, so Zhou Xuan's current actions and attitude left her somewhat bewildered.
However, when Zhou Xuan hurriedly told her, Fu Ying didn't think of refusing. She quickly started the car and asked again as she drove, "Where are you going?"
"The more remote the place, the better. We can drive anywhere. Hurry up!" Zhou Xuan waved his hand while using his supernatural ability to detect the movement of the two cars behind them. It was somewhat unexpected for the two people that Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu got into Fu Ying's car. After Fu Ying started driving, the two accelerated and followed closely.
Zhou Xuan knew that going to a remote place was dangerous. In crowded places, the other party might have some reservations, but in a remote and deserted place, they would have no scruples if they wanted to take action. Zhou Xuan thought that these two people would not give up easily, but in crowded places, they might use sniper rifles, which was Zhou Xuan's biggest fear.
However, if they were in a remote area, the two might gang up on them and rely on their weapons or superpowers instead of using a sniper rifle first. As long as they were within 200 meters, Zhou Xuan would have a chance to use his superpowers to fight them head-on. Even if it resulted in mutual destruction, it would ensure the safety of Wei Xiaoyu and Fu Ying, and that would be the achievement of his goal.
As long as he doesn't die on the spot, with his superhuman regenerative abilities, he doesn't need to worry about even the most serious injuries; he'll recover in no time.
Besides, although Zhou Xuan couldn't detect what kind of superpowers those two people had, judging from all aspects, even if they did have superpowers, they wouldn't be stronger than him. Judging from their actions, he only needed to reassure them that he couldn't escape and wouldn't use a sniper rifle, and that would be enough to win.
The assassin from last time is dead and there's no way to verify anything. Even if they find his body, they won't get any clues because those bullets were ice bullets made by Zhou Xuan using water. There wasn't a single trace left at the scene, so they had no idea that he had superpowers. Their coming to him was just routine, looking for flaws and clues from their target, Prince Tuluk. If it were me, to find out the cause of my companion's death, I would have to find Prince Tuluk first and start with him.
It was probably just a coincidence that his two assassin companions approached him. Since he and Xiaoyu had just left Prince Tuluk alone, they became their perfect target. Taking them down would save them a lot of trouble.
The two assassins, however, didn't understand whether their chance encounter was lucky or unlucky. They had just run into their master, and they didn't know what the outcome would be. Along the way, Zhou Xuan kept getting in and out of the car, and they didn't know what he was up to. But it seemed that he didn't know they were being followed. The cars were moving smoothly, and they were about a hundred meters apart. With so many vehicles at such a distance, it wouldn't be easy for him to spot them.
Yi Pu's tracking speed will never exceed fifty meters. If it exceeds that, many unexpected things will happen, and he will be shaken off at any traffic light.
Of course, they also have their own confidence even when they are 100 meters away; they won't do things they're not confident about.
In the car, Wei Xiaoyu, who had been pulled into Fu Ying's car by Zhou Xuan without her knowledge, was caught off guard and had no time to react. She only realized what was happening after getting in the car. Upon realizing what had happened, she immediately shook off Zhou Xuan's hand and angrily said, "I want to get out."
As Wei Xiaoyu spoke, she opened the car door and jumped out, but Zhou Xuan pulled her back and whispered sharply, "Don't be impulsive. Listen to me, there are assassins following us. This isn't the time to be emotional."
"How did you know there was an assassin?" Wei Xiaoyu and Fu Ying asked at the same time. Then, they both looked at the situation behind them. Wei Xiaoyu looked out of the rear window from inside the car, while Fu Ying looked in the rearview mirror on the front of the car. But in the vast traffic, neither of them could see anything different.
However, neither of them asked any more questions. Fu Ying even sped up the car, because they both knew that Zhou Xuan had special abilities and his observation skills were much better than theirs, which was not surprising.
What Fu Ying didn't understand was why Zhou Xuan, knowing that there were assassins following them and that the two of them were in the car, still got out and rode in her car.
The only explanation is that Zhou Xuan knew she was following them, and that assassins were also on their trail. Zhou Xuan was worried about her safety, which is why he gave up the taxi and rode in her car instead. It seems that even though Zhou Xuan has lost his memory, he still worries about her. Perhaps it's because she secretly said a lot of things to him, since Fu Ying knows that Zhou Xuan can hear what she says.
Wei Xiaoyu struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, but she said angrily, "I want to get off the bus. I don't want to ride this bus."
Fu Ying immediately snorted coldly: "Wei Xiaoyu, I'm not even crying and making a fuss with you now, so I think you should stop acting and pretending. Who is the victim here, you or me?"
Now, when Wei Xiaoyu faces Fu Ying directly, she is much less afraid than when she first saw Fu Ying. Many people are like this: they are afraid before something happens, but when they are actually in that situation, they are not afraid at all. Wei Xiaoyu is in that situation now. Facing Fu Ying, her fear and worry have weakened, and what arises is a strong desire to protect her and Zhou Xuan's love nest.
"It's hard to say who the aggrieved party is. Zhou Xuan is now my husband, my lover, and the father of my future child," Wei Xiaoyu retorted without backing down, her former friendship with Fu Ying fading away in an instant.
It's often said that love is selfish, and that's certainly true. You can give up everything else, but not your lover. Two people who were once rivals in love can become best friends, but then turn back into rivals again. Judging from the current situation, they might even become mortal enemies.
"Hmph, he's got the child back..." Fu Ying sneered, but her face clearly showed a bitter and painful expression. No matter what, Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu had a real marital relationship, and Wei Xiaoyu was pregnant with Zhou Xuan's child. That was a real problem. Fu Ying didn't know what would happen even if Zhou Xuan regained his memory and remembered her.
How will Zhou Xuan treat Wei Xiaoyu and her child?
Fu Ying felt increasingly bitter and distressed as she thought about it. Tears blurred her vision, and she could no longer see the road ahead. The car veered erratically forward. Zhou Xuan exclaimed, "You...you...drive carefully..."
However, Fu Ying didn't care whether she drove well or not. In her frustration, she simply buried her head in the steering wheel, pressing her forehead against the horn so that it kept blaring.
Zhou Xuan was horrified. Seeing the car heading towards the roadside guardrail, he knew it would immediately overturn into the ditch outside the guardrail if he didn't turn. In a panic, he quickly got up from the back seat, stuck his head to the front seat, and wrapped his hands around Fu Ying from behind to grab the steering wheel, forcefully turning the car back.
Wei Xiaoyu, standing beside him, was also terrified and sweating profusely. Seeing Zhou Xuan swerve back and the car continue driving normally on the road, yet still with his arm around Fu Ying, she couldn't help but feel jealous and annoyed, saying, "Is that how you drive? If you really want to be that intimate, stop the car and let me out. Once I'm out, you can be as intimate as you like!"
Zhou Xuan naturally ignored Wei Xiaoyu's angry words. His supernatural ability detected that the two assassins behind him were following even closer. He dared not relax at this moment. If he stopped, the two assassins might open fire. They were still in the city and could not do such a thing. It was best to continue at the current speed.
Zhou Xuan's suggestion that Fu Ying choose the direction to leave the city and head towards the suburbs was exactly what the two assassins wanted. In the wilderness of the suburbs, where no pedestrians passed by, it was just right for them to carry out their plan.
Although Fu Ying was heartbroken and crying, Zhou Xuan wrapped his arms around her. Even though he wasn't actually embracing her, but rather driving, she hadn't felt this way in a long time, and it made her tremble all over. The warmth and strength of Zhou Xuan's arms intoxicated her; at that moment, she wished time could stand still.
Speaking of freezing time, Fu Ying became angry again. It was all caused by the Nine Dragon Cauldron and the Nine Star Pearl. If it weren't for the Nine Dragon Cauldron allowing her to travel through time, how could she have forgotten her past memories?
