"What are you thinking about? It’s not like it was vomited in the car, it just made the smell a bit strong, and I couldn’t stand it.”
The woman’s voice was actually quite sweet, but she always had a stern expression and wore a mask that drivers usually kept for emergencies, so her full face couldn't be seen.
One could only sense that her tone carried a sense of impatience.
“Don’t say you couldn’t stand it, I almost couldn’t either.”
The three exchanged glances and finally got in.
Li Chonglou sat in the front passenger seat, while A Dong’s men sat in the back.
A Dong had initially wanted to strike up a conversation with the girl, as it was truly rare to find such a young female ride-hailing driver nowadays.
However, after getting into the car, the woman was as silent as if her mouth were locked, not responding even when A Dong asked questions.
This made A Dong feel a bit awkward.
“Beauty, I don’t mean anything else, I’m just bored and asking a few questions.”
A Dong chuckled sheepishly. It would have been good if the other party had at least replied with an "en," but her complete silence made him feel like he had impure intentions.
A Hai, who was usually ready to join in, directly added insult to injury: “You can’t even see her face, why are you calling her beauty? So hypocritical.”
“Damn it! What do you know? You can tell she’s a beauty just by her voice, what’s there to see?”
The two, playing along, still received no response from the driver, and could only exchange glances and shrug helplessly.
Aloof, unmanageable.
Just then, Li Chonglou suddenly asked, “Was your last passenger sitting in the front passenger seat?”
When he first got in, he had noticed that the smell of alcohol was significantly stronger in the front passenger seat.
Initially, he had suspected the woman might have been drinking, but seeing that her complexion wasn’t flushed and her speech was clear, she didn’t seem drunk.
This time, however, the woman finally responded.
“Mm.”
After saying that, she suddenly added,
“Have you all fastened your seatbelts?”
Li Chonglou instinctively glanced back at A Dong and the other person. Fastening the seatbelt in the front passenger seat was already an ingrained habit.
But A Dong and the other person clearly hadn’t.
“Why would we need seatbelts in the back? Stop messing around.”
A Dong smiled faintly, not taking the woman’s words to heart. He didn’t have this habit even in Shangjing.
“Then don’t blame me for not reminding you later.”
“What do you mean?”
The three instantly sensed something was amiss.
“There’s a checkpoint ahead.”
A checkpoint? Where would there be a checkpoint at this late hour?
However, the three looked ahead and indeed saw two cars blocking the road about a few hundred meters away. They were actually police cars.
No, they weren’t wearing police uniforms!
Li Chonglou, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed something was wrong.
But just then, a powerful mechanical roar entered the ears of the three, accompanied by a strong push-back sensation.
Their bodies, which had been casually seated, instantly tensed up, leaning tightly against the backrests.
The woman had slammed on the accelerator.
But there was a car blocking the road ahead!
A Dong gripped the door handle tightly and shouted, “Are you crazy! There’s a checkpoint ahead, why aren’t you stopping!”
“I’ve been drinking.”
This simple sentence made the nerves of the three instantly tighten.
Damn, they’d boarded a pirate ship!
They sped past the few hundred meters in an instant. The moment the accelerator was pressed, Li Chonglou had already sensed that something was off about this car.
Ordinary government-regulated ride-hailing cars could never produce such a sound. Only modified vehicles, especially those used for racing, would be like this!
Bang!
The intense impact made A Dong and the other person instantly regret their earlier stubbornness and not listening to the woman’s advice to fasten their seatbelts.
Fortunately, both of them had some training. After preparing themselves, they managed to withstand the impact.
The two black police cars blocking the road were also rammed aside, and the men in black who were supposed to be blocking the road had long since dodged to the side.
“Indeed, a fiery temperament. Quickly call Young Master Two, and lay down spike strips at the next intersection!”
What these men in black didn't know was that at the corner of the intersection, the woman sharply turned the steering wheel and veered into a small road.
The bumpy dirt road made A Dong and the other person suffer greatly.
“Stop! Big sister, who drives at a hundred kilometers per hour on a road like this!”
Isn’t this a lunatic!
Li Chonglou, gripping the handle tightly, couldn’t help but shift his gaze.
“Don’t move around. If we crash, all three of you will be buried with me tonight!”
Although the woman’s eyes were tightly fixed on the small road ahead, Li Chonglou’s thoughts were still seen through.
This was getting difficult.
Li Chonglou’s brows furrowed tightly. If they were still on the main road, he was confident he could quickly control the woman at this speed and take over safely.
But this small road offered very little room to maneuver. A slight mistake could lead to hitting a tree or crashing into the grass!
At this speed, unless it was before his cultivation was lost, there would only be certain death!
The perception of driving at a hundred kilometers per hour on a small road was completely different from on a main road.
The scenery on both sides flashed by. For a moment, A Dong felt like he wasn’t in a ride-hailing car, but a private jet!
And a fighter jet at that!
Li Chonglou couldn’t bother with anything else and directly activated his Heavenly Eye to see through the road conditions.
This is bad!
Suddenly, he saw a sharp turn at the end of his vision, and ahead was a cliff face several tens of meters high.
Who knew why such a mountain village road would have such a scene!
Li Chonglou shouted loudly, “Have you ever driven on this road before!”
The woman did not respond.
“Answer me!”
Li Chonglou’s voice deepened. Perhaps sensing his anger or something else, the woman calmly replied.
“Don’t doubt my driving skills.”
Her words carried not only calmness but also a hint of arrogance. However, to Li Chonglou, he only heard two words.
No!
He couldn’t hold back any longer. Seeing that the turn was already in sight, but the woman appeared oblivious, Li Chonglou finally couldn't help but act.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, gripped the overhead handle with his right hand, and propped himself on the woman’s seat with his left hand, then suddenly jumped into her embrace.
His movements were too fast. By the time he was sitting on the woman, the others had just reacted.
“What are you doing!”
Suddenly having her vision blocked, the woman’s voice inevitably became flustered. She quickly looked to the side, and the headlights illuminated a warning sign.
The woman’s pupils suddenly contracted, as if she understood Li Chonglou’s intention.
It’s over.
The two unfortunate souls sitting in the back, who had fastened their seatbelts, also saw the empty scene ahead.
It was completely over.
The steering wheel was violently turned, the brake was stomped down hard, and at the same time, the handbrake was pulled.
In just a few seconds, Li Chonglou performed more than a dozen procedures like a robot, systematically and without haste.
In the darkness, a small car half-inched towards the edge of the cliff, but miraculously and safely retreated from the gates of hell.
Then, before Li Chonglou could breathe a sigh of relief, another problem arose.
It seemed the brakes were broken?
