Chapter 1654 - 1655: Hatred Etched into the Bones
The burly man hurriedly pleaded for mercy, "Spare me, hero!"
You originally intended just to teach these people a lesson, killing them was out of the question since these guys aren’t terrorists, anti-government militants, nor drug lords; they’re just some bullies taking advantage of others.
Upon hearing the burly man’s plea for mercy, you tossed him aside like trash next to the garbage can, with a steely expression and a cold face saying, "Scram!"
Several uninjured individuals hurried forward to support the burly man, dragging their remaining companions to make a quick getaway.
Once these people left, the onlookers quickly dispersed without any applause or cheers as seen on TV; passersby were merely spectators, watching was enough and the rest had little to do with them.
After dealing with these people, you felt much more relaxed, and turned around to check the timetable at the bus stop, still holding onto hope that the previous bus wasn’t the last one. Upon looking, the time was eight o’clock and you took your phone out of your pocket to check the time; damn, it was already ten past eight!
At this time, a gust of cold wind swept by, blowing your hair wildly.
Feeling rather downcast, you blocked a plastic bag swept by the wind with your hand, grabbed your briefcase, and slowly walked along the dim street lamps.
Before long, a Mulan came from behind, slowly driving forward without stopping, keeping pace with you. As you turned your head, the car window slowly rolled down, the driver was a beautiful woman, Wei Yingyue.
Wei Yingyue was just passing by here by chance and noticed Li Jiu, who bore a striking resemblance to Li Tian, fighting with a knife-wielding rascal.
Seeing Li Jiu in action, Wei Yingyue felt that his resemblance to Li Tian shot up to ninety-five percent, with the last five percent only requiring Li Jiu to admit that he was Li Tian.
Since childhood, Wei Yingyue had been very persistent, it was in her nature and her sole secret to success.
Since returning from Wen’an, Wei Yingyue slowly allowed Li Tian into her heart. Her heart wasn’t large, it could only accommodate one Li Tian.
So, when it comes to Li Tian, she is inveterate and will never give up no matter what.
You looked at Wei Yingyue, a bad feeling growing in your heart, but still pulled off a Pig Brother facade and smiled at Wei Yingyue, saying, "Yo, isn’t that President Wei? What a coincidence."
"Where are you going?" Wei Yingyue asked you coldly.
You did not answer, but glanced at Wei Yingyue’s Mulan, smiling as you said, "It’s quite uncommon, isn’t it? A fashionable lady like you, driving such a cool military vehicle."
"Where are you headed?" The same question again.
You had some understanding of Wei Yingyue’s character, so you replied with a smile, "Of course, heading home. I just finished dinner with a friend and found out I missed the last bus, so I’m walking back."
"Where do you live?"
"Uh, Furong District." You initially wanted to randomly give a name, but thought about if Wei Yingyue might actually offer you a ride back, so you gave your real name.
"Get in, I’m going that way."
"Huh?" You hadn’t expected that Wei Yingyue would indeed offer to drive you home.
Being shrewd, you guessed that Wei Yingyue seemed to have suspicions about you. You were unsure when you slipped up, and seeing Wei Yingyue’s determined eyes, you were left with no choice but to open the car door and get in.
"Fasten your seatbelt."
You had just closed the car door, not yet buckled the seatbelt, when you heard a sudden shout from Wei Yingyue, immediately followed by a hard press on the accelerator. The engine roared like a fierce tiger, and the four wheels spun wildly, rocketing forward on the open road!
That one stomp from Wei Yingyue was intense, the strong acceleration pinned you to the seatback, making you instinctively glance at Wei Yingyue in the driver’s seat on the left, and to your amazement, noticed her long leg had remained pressing hard on the accelerator, never lifting!
Looking again at the speedometer, holy cow, it had already surpassed one hundred and forty!
And at that moment, Wei Yingyue deliberately glanced at you, just one look made your heart flutter with anxiety.
What kind of look was that?
It had hatred, bone-deep hatred!
Such hatred, not much less than killing a father or dishonoring a mother, as if you had done something unpardonable to Wei Yingyue.
Besides hatred, there were other emotions, but you couldn’t bother with them now, shouting at Wei Yingyue as she kept accelerating, "President Wei, there’s a car ahead!"
Wei Yingyue instantly turned her head and indeed saw a car in front; because the other car was moving slowly, the distance between them was only about thirty meters now!
Thirty meters might still be a considerable distance on flat ground, but for a car speeding over one hundred sixty kilometers per hour, it was just a blink of an eye!
At this moment, Wei Yingyue slightly eased her right foot, but didn’t apply the brake. Instead, she gripped the steering wheel with her left hand and jerked it downward while her right hand followed through, making a semi-circle which caused the tires to screech sharply against the road,
The screeching didn’t stop, the Mulan SUV made a beautiful swing, and then Wei Yingyue straightened the wheel and continued to mash the accelerator, leaving the driver of the car behind to see nothing but its flashing taillights.
Seeing that Wei Yingyue had no intention of stopping, you quickly grabbed the seatbelt and fastened it, then smiled at Wei Yingyue, saying, "Well, President Wei, I’m actually not in a rush. If you are, I can get off and walk back myself."
Wei Yingyue still didn’t acknowledge you, exuding a domineering feeling of no escape once boarding the pirate ship.
Since Wei Yingyue wouldn’t speak, you could only continue riding along with her. Although she drove very fast, the road is a three-lane highway, and with Wei Yingyue’s good driving skills, the journey was thrilling yet uneventful.
However, being an ordinary person, you still instinctively feigned a scared posture because, regardless of who it may be, driving one hundred sixty on a highway is severely overspeeding, let alone on Huancheng Road.
After passing two intersections, you noticed a traffic light ahead. Though it’s a green light, it only has seven seconds left. At Wei Yingyue’s current speed she certainly won’t make it. You quietly placed your left hand on the seatbelt release button, ready to spring the door open and dash out on the first stop for a red light, resolved to escape!
The way Wei Yingyue behaved made you nervous because her gaze had already clued you in that she knew your identity.
Of course, the identity Wei Yingyue knew wasn’t your real name but Li Tian.
While a headache, the matter could still be addressed with Wei Yingyue since she herself is a reasonable woman. You believed she could understand your dilemma, though what made you uneasy was her attitude towards you had become clear, she seemed to have developed feelings for you, bringing uncertainty in how to handle things.
However, Wei Yingyue shifted gears to a setting marked S, the back-thrust force reappeared as you saw the speedometer soar instantly!
One hundred eighty kilometers an hour!
Only one second of green left!
Two hundred!
Yellow light appeared, three seconds!
At this moment, the Mulan SUV was only tens of meters from the stop line, yet Wei Yingyue showed no intention of stopping.
