157 Step On I (2/2)
Chen Fan only knew that Canglong Hill was faced towards the south and the north, but this did not prevent him from accurately identifying its location. After using his fingers to quickly tap a few times on the GPS navigation installed in the car, the shortest route to the destination was marked.
It showed a distance of 47 kilometers… It then instructed Chen Fan to head north for six kilometers, then take the fifth loop...
The BMW was electronically limited to traveling at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, but in reality, it could go up to 300. With Chen Fan driving it, the car completely erupted, cruising at a speed that made people tremble! It overtook cars, one after another, as it sped through the lanes with a loud roar.
Chen Fan forcefully drove 120 kilometers per hour, even on an asphalt road with a speed limit of 50. After speeding through seven consecutive red lights, Chen Fan suddenly slammed on the brakes with a screech. After leaving two long marks at the corner, the car rushed towards the Fifth Ring Road!
...
As time passed, Wu Ruoyu's face turned increasingly pale. There were still 11 kilometers to go before they would reach Canglong Hill. Aside from a few cars that occasionally passed by, there was nothing else on the road.
Originally, there was no beautiful scenery that would attract people to Canglong Hill. But one day in the year of 1998, a person with nothing better to do decided to camp for a night in Canglong Hill. But, when he woke up to pee in the middle of the night, he surprisingly found a deep swamp not too far away, which was filled with many glowing fish. The region then became instantly famous, which is how it caught people's attention, and how it received its moniker.
Now, the government has built three highways in the area. One of the highways leads to Canglong Hill, while the other two lead to Guanhua Town and Sihe Township respectively. Late at night, places near the abandoned mountain area are the perfect spots for killing and burning...
If I wait until we reach the foot of Canglong Hill, then what awaits will be…
First physically taken advantage of, and then killed...
These nightmarish thoughts slowly washed over Wu Ruoyu's mind.
”Two… Two Big Brothers! We will reach… reach Canglong Hill in another 11 kilometers. When the time comes, can you release me?” The only thing that Wu Ruoyu could do now was to keep reporting her current position aloud for Chen Fan's ears on the other end of the hidden phone. But, the issue of whether the call had been hung up or not was out of her control.
”Turn left to head towards Guanhua Town, once you reach Canglong Hill. Naturally, we will release you once we arrive there.” The guy with the grey jacket, who was now polishing his nails with the knife, raised his head and spoke with a light smile.
As she looked at the meter, which was jumping bit by bit, the uncertain hope in Wu Ruoyu's heart was gradually lessening. This was because she understood that the direction in which this man was referring to did not lead to Guanhua Town at all. Instead, it led to Canglong Hill.
After 12 minutes, the lights were no longer shining boundlessly. The side of the road was starting to become more rugged. Those big shadows at the cornerings were continuously implying that this place belonged to steep mountain terrain.
When the car reached the T-junction in front of them, Wu Ruoyu's heart fell. There were still no signs of any action being taken! It truly did look like this could really be where her life ends!
”Big Brothers, where should we go now?” Wu Ruoyu asked calmly, as she slowed down her car.
”Turn to the left!” The guy with the grey jacket sat up from his seat and pointed at the pitch-black road ahead with his knife.
”Okay!” Wu Ruoyu nodded her head, keeping focused on her surroundings.
She had come to Canglong Hill before, and she remembered that there should be plenty of large rocks at the side of the road. She could just find a large one, then crash into it with the car.
After driving for about 30 seconds, Wu Ruoyu found her target with the car's highlights, as she was taking a turn at a cornering. It was a large rock that was three meters tall and two meters wide, which was sitting just one meter away from the road.
Just another 200 meters. The car is now at third gear, going 50 kilometers per hour. If I completely step on the accelerator and use the remaining distance of 50 meters to shift into fifth gear…
Wu Ruoyu was contemplating her target. The Audi A4 could definitely increase to a speed of 130 kilometers per hour from this distance, and 130 yards would definitely be enough length to...
Due to the dark interior of the car, the guy with the grey jacket failed to notice the fiercely determined expression on Wu Ruoyu's face. Otherwise, he would have immediately suspected something.
Hopefully, this safety belt is not that safe. Otherwise, being half dead would be a pain in the a*s…
Wu Ruoyu gently placed her hand on the car gear and took two deep breaths. Then, she aimed the car at the large rock. With the tip of her toes taut, she prepared to step on the accelerator, pushing it straight to the floorboard until the end.
Honk honk… Honk honk…
At this moment, there was a loud sound of a roaring engine and honks heard from behind them. It nearly caused Wu Ruoyu's nerves, which were already tense, to completely snap!
There were different expressions on all three of their faces. Wu Ruoyu was touched, as a huge hope suddenly rose in her heart. She immediately relaxed her taut right leg in order to observe through the rear mirror. She had to see if her savior had arrived!
On the other hand, the two hoodlums were shocked and suspicious. They had not met a single car for over 10 minutes, so how could they not be suspicious when one suddenly appeared?
This car that had suddenly appeared could not be seen clearly, due to that intense white headlight. One could only guess that it was a small car, based on the sound of the engine.
Honk honk… Honk honk… Honk honk…
The car behind looked as if it wanted to overtake the car in front, as it was blinking its headlights and honking continuously. Per the official traffic regulations, this represented the universal signal for: ”I want to overtake your car.”
”Move aside and let him pass!” The guy with the grey jacket had a gloomy expression, as he pointed a knife at Wu Ruoyu's stomach. The fact that the opposite party wanted to overtake the car coincidentally fulfilled his wish of observing its origin.
The road was on the narrow side and simply could not allow two cars to drive side-by-side at the same time. So, Wu Ruoyu slowly moved the car to the side with her trembling hands, waiting for the moment which could determine her fate!
The car behind overtook the white A4 car in a provocative manner, with a roar of its engine, followed by an ear-piercing grinding sound.
Rumble!
Upon overtaking the white A4 car, this black car immediately vanished within just five seconds, like an arrow! The only thing it left behind was the grating sound of the roaring engine, echoing in the mountains.
”D*mn this jerk! He dares to participate in a road race in these mountainous terrains at night! I think this guy is tired of living!” Liu Zi scolded that unknown person, before signaling Wu Ruoyu with his knife to continue driving.
The guy with the grey jacket shook his head, ”Didn't that Takumi in the movie drive in these mountain terrains at night as well? But, I don't think that he can be Fujiwara Takumi, but maybe he's that Itsuki Tachibana, who had his car overturned! That would be more suitable!”
As if to prove what he had just said, the roar of the engine that was gradually becoming distant suddenly turned into a vicious braking sound. Then, there was a grating screech that lasted for five long seconds. Then, it got replaced with a large booming sound.
”Hahaha…”
”Oh my God, this is so hilarious…”
The two men in the car kept hammering their thighs non-stop. Their expressions, which were initially human-like, now twisted into something irregular and out-of-shape, due to all of that laughter. Liu Zi even laughed until he rolled down from the seat!
”Hahaha… Speed up! Quickly, speed up! Haha… I want to see the aftermath of his crash!”
The guy with the grey jacket laughed, his whole body shaking vigorously. He only managed to complete his sentence after a while.
This sentence was like the last straw for Wu Ruoyu, who was trembling, as tears kept on whirling in her eyes. That car belonged to none other than Chen Fan!
He really had rushed over. He came alone, without reporting to the police first, just to create an opportunity for her, without the slightest care of his own safety!
Wu Ruoyu worked hard to control her emotions, as she increased the speed of the car. After the white A4 had driven over a few hundred meters, that BMW that had smoke coming out from its front came into view.
The car was in a really bad condition. It had crashed unexpectedly into a large rock, and the front of the car also looked as if a transformer had stepped on it, as there were parts of the car flown all over the ground.
The position of the car was also very strategic. With its horizontal position, it coincidentally took up nearly the entire space of the road. Hence, if the A4 car wanted to drive through, it had to trample across the wild grass at the side.
”Jerk! Who asked you to imitate Takumi's mountain drift!” Liu Zi's eyes were filled with excitement as if he had just seen a pretty lady without her clothes. ”Big Brother, you are really good. He crashed right after you finished speaking! I wonder if he is dead?”
”Haha… He will be crippled, even if he's not dead!” The guy with the grey jacket burst out in grating laughter. After being satisfied from watching the show, he swayed the knife in front of Wu Ruoyu twice. ”Step on it!”
As if she'd been paralyzed, Wu Ruoyu just stared at the car blankly, without any response.
Pak!
Liu Zi then slapped the back of Wu Ruoyu's head again. ”Step on it!”
