Chapter 119: Turning the Car Around
With Lin Wushuang’s words, Chen Tianlong began to slow down, suddenly pulled the handbrake, and rapidly turned the steering wheel, executing a perfect 180-degree drift, sliding tens of meters before getting the car turned around.
"Chen...Chen Tianlong, what are you doing?" Lin Wushuang was startled by the sudden drift, and as she looked up, she realized the car had turned around. She spoke somewhat flustered.
"Oh, handling business. If we don’t take them down tonight, we’ll die on the road. Trust me!" Chen Tianlong was highly alert, and his foot alternated between pressing and releasing the accelerator; the engine was roaring.
Chen Tianlong was tightly pressing the clutch as he waited for an opportunity, the kind of chance that could almost decide whether the three of them could leave alive.
Dao’s car gradually caught up, and upon seeing the scene ahead, he was immediately dumbfounded.
This kid isn’t just stopping, but he turned around. What the heck does that mean?
Dao was pondering this when he heard the engine of the BMW in front rev up, immediately understanding.
"Damn, this kid wants to go down with us! He’s just a lunatic!" Dao exclaimed in surprise.
"Then... Boss, what should we do, turn around and leave?" the subordinate driving asked.
"Turn your mother! Charge ahead for me, and shoot him dead later. He’s playing with fire against me, but he’s still too green," Dao ordered through gritted teeth.
The subordinate driving was clearly scared, but since the boss had spoken, if he didn’t comply, he would die miserably later.
So, he hesitated for a moment, swallowed a breath, and floored the accelerator.
Chen Tianlong smiled coldly, then said, "You two fasten your seatbelts. I’m taking you to Fei Luo."
After saying that, Chen Tianlong released the clutch with his left foot and stepped hard on the accelerator with his right foot. The black BMW shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
The two girls in the car widened their eyes, covering their mouths in disbelief, because Chen Tianlong’s car was speeding toward the other car — it felt like a mutual destruction course of action.
"Ah~~ Chen Tianlong, are you crazy? Let us get off! We don’t want to die!"
Lin Wushuang screamed desperately, but it seemed Chen Tianlong didn’t hear a thing. He was focused on driving, racing forward.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters...
Closer, even closer.
Seeing the two cars about to collide, and the driver on the other side was clearly already terrified. He didn’t want to die, subconsciously swerving the steering wheel to the right, and the speed was so fast the car crashed through the roadside barrier and rushed into the field nearby.
The car rolled in the field for a moment and then flipped over, resting in the paddy field with the fate of its occupants unknown.
Chen Tianlong also slightly swerved the steering wheel earlier but his mental strength was strong enough that he immediately corrected it, though there were some bumps along the way, ultimately he managed to stop safely.
Just as the BMW came to a halt, the two car doors were pushed open simultaneously, and the next moment, the two girls ran out and began to vomit, clearly car sick.
"You rotten Chen Tianlong, I’m going to kill you."
Lin Wushuang weakly pointed at Chen Tianlong and cursed.
"Absolutely, Tianlong, how can you treat your two wives like this? It’s practically spouse murder!" Lu Xiaoyu said after vomiting for a while without faltering, instead she walked in front of Chen Tianlong, pouting, ready to argue.
"The moonlight tonight is nice, and we’re all still alive, aren’t we? What’s more important than being alive?"
Chen Tianlong walked out of the car nonchalantly, then leapt onto the roof, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and held it in his mouth.
The two girls were stunned, looking at Chen Tianlong as he occasionally puffed smoke rings, their mood slowly calming down.
Indeed, if not for Chen Tianlong rescuing them tonight, who knows what would have happened, perhaps Lin Family’s company would face disaster, or perhaps the two of them would have been violated by thugs. All of this seemed less important at this moment.
These three had returned from the gates of hell, now with different thoughts.
The two leaned against the car, watching Chen Tianlong on the roof, their hearts redefining him anew.
Chen Tianlong was a hero, with a bit of arrogance, some mischief, and some persistence — a hot-blooded hero.
About twenty minutes later, Chen Tianlong drove the Audi with the two girls toward the South Sea city center. On the way, he called Lin Batian, informing him that the young lady and Lu Xiaoyu had been returned safely.
Lin Batian was immediately very pleased, recognizing Chen Tianlong as a talent, and thus made a decision.
After nine at night, Chen Tianlong returned the people to Chen Family, and after ensuring their safe arrival, intended to leave but was invited by Lin Batian to his room to discuss something.
Ordinarily, Chen Tianlong was not fond of dealing with these big bosses; he felt they had an air of superiority and always looked down on people.
But this was Lin Wushuang’s father, so he gave him some face.
"Mr. Lin, I’ve already saved the people, what do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Tianlong asked plainely.
Lin Batian looked over Chen Tianlong, seeing he had no intention to demand praise or reward, and was immediately very satisfied. In South Sea City, such people who don’t chase fame and fortune are indeed rare: "Chen Tianlong, I want to discuss something with you about my daughter and the company."
"Company matters? Forget it, as for Wushuang’s matters, I’m willing to chat." Chen Tianlong didn’t want to live a life filled with scheming.
"Alright then, let’s talk about Wushuang first. Wushuang’s mother passed away when she was young, and as for me as her father..."
"Sorry, Mr. Lin, I’m rather straightforward if you have anything to say, just say it."
Chen Tianlong directly interrupted Lin Batian. He didn’t want to hear too much of things unrelated to him.
"Haha, Tianlong, you really are direct. Well then, I’ll get straight to the point." Lin Batian laughed, then suddenly became very serious:
"I have fought my way in the business world for years and made many enemies--like this time with the Celestial Wolf Group--because no one was there to protect Wushuang, she got tricked easily."
"You want me to protect your daughter?" Chen Tianlong finally understood.
"Exactly, rest assured, I’ll pay you a salary of twenty thousand a month, if you find it too little..."
"Wait a moment, the salary and such isn’t very important. What’s important is, do you think Lin Wushuang would let me protect her?"
Chen Tianlong chuckled helplessly, he admitted he had a fate connection with Lin Wushuang, but that’s as far as it went; mostly they ended up arguing, he didn’t believe Lin Wushuang could accept his protection.
Most importantly, he had only promised to heal Lin Wushuang and then planned to return to Lotus Village.
