Chapter 32: Flying like a Bug

Without a word, Hans jumped in his seat, started the truck up, shifted and furiously gassed the pedal. The truck rocketed ahead like some raging beast.
In her car, the elegant cop was flustered for a moment. She apparently did not know what had given her away; she had been trying to sneak up on them. She reacted quickly, however, flooring the gas until she eventually caught up to them.
Seeing the cop car catching up from his rear-view mirror, Hans grew angry and frustrated at their bad luck. ”F*ck this damned bloodhound cop! Why is she chasing us? Has she fallen for me?”
”Are we in deep trouble this time? How about we call a lawyer? Let’s not run anymore. American cops have permission to shoot in this situation, right?” Li Du asked nervously.
Hans skilfully steered and switched gears, and the car drifted, entering a side road. After hearing Li Du’s words, he scoffed. ”Chill. With the cars going so fast, how do you expect her to shoot? This is under my control, you just relax. I know their rules. So long as we’re not caught red-handed, cops don’t care about these small matters.”
Li Du felt slightly calmer. ”Then drive faster, don’t get us caught.”
”Sit tight,” Hans replied confidently. ”Let me show you the power of Flagstaff’s God of the Streets!” At the end of his sentence a powerful force pushed them back. Li Du watched the trees at the side of the road rapidly disappear from his vision as the truck furiously accelerated. He didn’t have the chance to put on his seatbelt because he needed to hold onto Ah Meow, who crashed into his chest once they started speeding up.
Hans accelerated even more. ”What a lady! Her skills are pretty good if she can catch up with my Ford. But the best is yet to come. Let’s see what else you can do!”
Li Du clutched Ah Meow in his lap and exclaimed worriedly, ”Are you sure you can do this? Let’s just stop running. It’s a Toyota Prado behind us, and ours is just a pickup. We’re not on the same level!”
”Ha! What determines the speed of the car was never the car itself, but the driver’s determination and courage! Hallelujah!” After this strange cry, Hans furiously steered and braked. Ah Meow, who had just managed to stand without Li Du’s help, was once again flung forward. The cat collided with the windshield, hissing in pain.
Li Du hastily tried to grab Ah Meow back. Ever since starting the chase he had been distracted with fear and excitement, and did not make the bug burrow into his skin. When trying to grab Ah Meow, the bug fell onto Ah Meow’s head.
Poor Ah Meow was shocked! With the vehicle jolting, speeding, and braking, it was tossed around so terribly that it could not stop crying in pain. It looked out of the window for a moment. Seeing the trees and garbage cans flying past so quickly, the ocelot got even more fearful, crying and meowing uncontrollably.
Li Du felt heartbroken. He hugged and held Ah Meow’s head in an embrace, softly consoling the cat. ”It’s alright, it’s alright. Ah Meow is very brave, you are safe in Daddy’s arms, you don’t have to fear anything.” Ah Meow nuzzled into his embrace, seemingly trying to burrow into his body.
At this moment, the bug that had been quietly sitting on Ah Meow’s head suddenly twitched, looked down as if it was about to burrow into his palm, and borrowed into Ah Meow’s skull.
At this sight, Li Du was stunned!
He always considered himself the sole host for the bug, as it had only burrowed into his palm. He never expected it to be able to enter the head of a cat! What was going on?
Soon the bug came out of Ah Meow’s head, and for a second it appeared to look differently to Li Du. The bug then quickly jumped onto his palm and once again burrowed in.
