Gu Nianzhi’s custom red Ferrari luxury sports car was like a beautiful landscape against the dreary winterThe day was still early, so the majority of the Hua Xia Empire was still deep asleep There weren’t many cars or pedestrians on the streets There were only a few breakfast restaurants that had just opened for the day Gu Nianzhi drove her sports car to the restaurant she was familiar with As usual, she parked to buy breakfast before quickly eating it in inside the car
The Mercedes that Ishi+hara Taro rode in did not tail Gu Nianzhi’s car Instead, it quickly took a shortcut to drive directly towards the highway entrance A shway entrance This ere cheap ated to especially provide a place for long-haul truckers to rest and eat After they ate to their fill, they would drive their large 18-wheel trucks and get in line to enter the highway
Becausedistance hauls, nearly all the drivers there were driving in a fatigued state Their eyes were red froarettes, strong brewed tea, or black coffee, as well as drinks containing banned drugs to energize their heads
Ishi+hara Taro’s Mercedes drove there, and he asked his driver to go buy some fast food for him In the meantime, he walked around It wasn’t the first time he had wandered around there, but he drove a different car each tilasses, so no one recognized that he was the same person
The driver came back with breakfast, and Ishi+hara Taro followed hi of food before throwing it aside He would never eat the food there “Let’s go Get on the highway” Ishi+hara Taro calave his command
The driver pressed down on the accelerator to drive out of the service area, and their car happened to pass through where the long-haul trucks parked for repairs Not far fro tire issues The driver was using a jack to change the tire Changing tires was a coathered
An older wo over while carrying a bucket of water Ishi+hara Taro glanced at his watch and thought, “The tiers reached outside the Mercedes to flick out a shi+ning, gold coin
The older lady carrying the bucket of water saw a ray of golden light flash across her eyes, so she instinctively took a step backwards, and the bucket in her hand was flung forward! The water inside the bucket instantly rained down, and it all splashed on the driver as changing tires not too far in front of her!
Being drenched in a bucket of cold water in winter would chill a person to the bone, so no one would be generous enough to not raise a fuss The driver’s hand slipped and loosened his grip on the wrench, so the tire wasn’t installed as tightly However, he didn’t even notice this as he raised his arms to wipe the water off his head and turned around to viciously screao to hell! Why are you squirting water early in the ht?! Why are you acting coy out here?!”
Most people couldn’t take it when they were insulted by a long-haul truck driver Also, this driver seeot very excited as he shouted His eyes were bright red and looked almost like a rabbit’s
The older lady juan to screas were bad, so they quickly ran over to ed to separate the driver from the older lady
The driver thren his wrench and took the jack back to throw inside the truck Then he used a towel to wipe off his face and gave the older lady the ot into the truck He sla off his wet jacket, he pulled out a coat from the junk box inside the truck and wrapped it around his and downed it coized
Fiercely sla on the accelerator, the 18-wheel tanker ru-haul truck stop and heading to the fork in the road leading to the highway entrance
He didn’t expect the tire to not be installed tightly because he was interrupted as he was putting it on earlier Suddenly, a bright red and very flashy luxury sports car sped before his eyes The driver got excited as soon as he saw the bright red color His foot subconsciously stepped hard on the accelerator as he followed behind it The black Mercedes following this 18-wheel tanker hway onraht red luxury sports car ahead was naturally Gu Nianzhi’s car As usual, she had breakfast on the side of the road before cohway, she saw an 18-wheel tanker following close behind her There was also a black Mercedes that followed behind the tanker
Gu Nianzhi curved her lips as she glanced at her watch It was already 6:30a the GPS in her car, she checked the Imperial Capital’s traffic conditions She had also put in ainst Ishi+hara Taro Gu Nianzhi knew that Ishi+hara Taro had already begun his countdohen she saw the 18-wheel tanker Then that was also when she would begin her own countdown
Gu Nianzhi didn’t have a habit of loitering She put on her Bluetooth headset and made a call “hello, is this Lava Cake Main Shop in East City? Yesterday I ordered 11 mini lava cakes with raspberries and vanilla ice cream from your shop Can you immediately deliver them to Professor He Zhichu at B University? His phone number is…” Gu Nianzhi spoke very quickly then reently, “You must deliver them by 7:30am It’s best if you’re there just on time”
The 11 mini lava cakes with raspberries and vanilla ice cream cost several hundred RMB each, so 11 cakes had cost her a pretty penny Although expensive, this orth it Gu Nianzhi gripped her steering wheel and only got on the highway once she received the store’s firhway at 6:30 in the -haul trucks around this time and a few occasional private cars They drove very slowly and didn’t cut the trucks off
Gu Nianzhi need to go to her thesis defense, so she needed to arrive earlier rather than later As a result, she didn’t allow others to pass and drove even faster than the big trucks and tankers
Ishi+hara Taro couldn’t help but s was really happening exactly like his calculations!
…
In East City, the Lava Cake Main Shop sent out a delivery tricycle that also headed towards the highway to deliver 11 cakes to B University No one typically ordered cake deliveries this early in the day, so when this delivery tricycle suddenly rushed out from the corner, the driver of Ishi+hara Wakashi+’s white BMW frantically slaht past the delivery tricycle He even thought that the delivery tricycle had scratched his car He pressed hard on the accelerator to follow the delivery tricycle and shouted at its driver, “Are you blind!? Can you even afford to pay if you scratched uy on the tricycle knew he hadn’t actually scratched the BMW, so he was angry about being yelled at for no reason He peddled the tricycle and took up theslowly He didn’t allow Ishi+hara Wakashi+’s BMW to speed up at all
“I think this punk wants to die!” Ishi+hara Wakashi+’s driver was also japanese, but he had lived in the Hua Xia Empire for many years, so he spoke Chinese fluently He had even developed a local’s dialect and accent “Get the hll out ofmore but to to slam on his accelerator and crush the delivery tricycle under his tires However, Ishi+hara Wakashi+ suppressed his anger and cory at this kind of person Hurry up and get on the highway to the airport”
Originally, they didn’t need to get on the highway, but because of the delay caused by the little tricycle, the driver got on a nearby highway in order to hway just so happened to be the tay highway that Gu Nianzhi and Ishi+hara Taro were both on
Gu Nianzhiwas timed perfectly and even considered the car’s delay caused by the dispute between the two drivers
Ishi+hara Wakashi+’s BMW had just gotten on the tay highhen so happened to Gu Nianzhi The 18-wheel tanker close behind her suddenly began to sway It drove crookedly all over the highway like it was out of control At times it drove on the white line, then occupied the express lane, then after a while itthe entire highway, co it off
