Chapter 30: Test-Driving the New Car
"Hmm, a BMW X6, not sure if it suits your taste. Seeing how busy you are, I made the decision myself. If you don’t like it, President Lin said we could exchange it for another."
"..."
Chen Tianlong was speechless for a moment. Looking at the BMW X6, it seemed to be the top configuration. Through the window, he could see the fully equipped interior, exuding a high-end atmosphere.
"What? You don’t like it? We can go and change it." Mr. Hu saw Chen Tianlong’s prolonged silence and assumed he didn’t like it, so he spoke up quickly.
"Mr. Hu, this car is great, let’s go with it!" Chen Tianlong was very pleased. He finally had his own car again and just wanted to enjoy a drive.
With that, Chen Tianlong got into the car and excitedly said, "Mr. Hu, I want to take it for a spin. Wait here for a while."
"No problem!"
Mr. Hu made an OK gesture.
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly, started the engine, and leaned back on the soft leather seat, feeling the joy that the new car brought him. He took a deep breath, and the clutch was already down.
At the same time, Chen Tianlong’s other foot was tapping the accelerator, releasing and pressing. The engine immediately roared with a rhythmic sound.
Suddenly, after a few roars, Chen Tianlong slammed the accelerator to the floor, and the clutch was released, causing the BMW to shoot forward.
Twenty meters ahead was a turn. Mr. Hu watched the BMW speed off and broke into a cold sweat, thinking Chen Tianlong had made a mistake.
But the next scene immediately changed Mr. Hu’s mind.
The BMW, upon reaching the turn, suddenly drifted smoothly onto the road and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wow!
Turns out he’s a master driver.
Mr. Hu couldn’t help but admire. Chen Tianlong indeed surprised him, possessing such skills at a young age. Now he finally understood why President Lin spent a fortune to bring him over; the guy was a hidden expert.
After less than three minutes, a gray blur appeared at the school gate. As the dust settled, the BMW X6 gradually appeared in front of Mr. Hu.
"Phew... That was satisfying. It’s been a while since I’ve driven a car this good." Chen Tianlong got out of the car with a satisfied smile, took out his ID, and handed it to Mr. Hu, "Alright, this is the one. I’ll leave the rest to you."
"Haha, Tianlong, no need to be so formal. It’s my duty to fulfill the tasks given by the master." Mr. Hu wasn’t fussy; he took Chen Tianlong’s ID directly and walked towards the roadside.
Soon, a business car appeared on the road to pick him up, clearly showing Mr. Hu had made prior arrangements.
After Mr. Hu left, Chen Tianlong drove the car into the school’s parking area, where there were plenty of shared spaces, so he wasn’t worried about that.
Soon, it was afternoon dismissal. Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu were clearly unaware that Chen Tianlong had bought a car. So they stood at the school gate as usual, waiting.
But two minutes later, a gray BMW X6 suddenly appeared in front of them. Since the two would never have thought that this car was driven by Chen Tianlong, they didn’t pay much attention to it.
"Hey, you two beauties, care to hop in?" Chen Tianlong rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and smiled at them.
"Huh?"
Lu Xiaoyu was the first to react. Seeing Chen Tianlong in the driver’s seat, she was stunned, "Wow, Tianlong, you bought a car?"
"Hehe, Mr. Hu bought it, but he said it’s mine from now on, responsible for picking you two up." Chen Tianlong said proudly.
Lin Wushuang was initially surprised but then just pursed her lips, not too amazed. For someone like the young lady, it’s just a car, nothing too shocking.
The two quickly got in the car. After all, in this situation, Mr. Hu wouldn’t come to pick them up anymore. So even if Lin Wushuang was unwilling, she’d have to get in with Lu Xiaoyu.
"Brat, you can drive, but you have to consider our safety. I don’t trust your skills." Lin Wushuang quickly reminded.
"Hehe, no worries, I’ll be careful." Chen Tianlong smiled lightly and then started the engine, heading toward the Lin Family’s direction.
But after driving for just two or three kilometers, suddenly, there was a crowd on the roadside ahead with a car parked beside them. It seemed someone had collapsed.
Out of curiosity, Lin Wushuang asked Chen Tianlong to pull over; she wanted to check it out.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly. Usually, she seemed so high above, but now suddenly so compassionate; he couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Is there a doctor? Is there a doctor?"
At this moment, a voice filled with despair jolted Chen Tianlong’s nerves. For a man to emit such a voice, the situation must be extremely urgent.
Without hesitation, Chen Tianlong followed Lin Wushuang towards the source of the voice, quickly seeing a very anxious-looking man glancing around.
The man seemed to be in his thirties, his tailored suit enhancing his elite aura. Soon, many people gathered around, wanting to see what was happening.
"Hello, I’m not a doctor, but I know a bit of medical skills. How about I take a look?" Chen Tianlong said calmly, indicating he’d like to assist.
Just when Xu Yunfei was in despair, the voice behind him was like a lifeline piercing his heart. Turning around, he realized it was a guy who looked around twenty, a flash of disappointment crossed his eyes.
But now, with his wife’s life at risk, he could only let this young man try; he had no other choice.
"Explain the situation, what’s going on?"
Chen Tianlong’s clean and crisp words made Xu Yunfei slightly raise his estimate of him. Though young, he at least had some medical knowledge.
Xu Yunfei briefly introduced his wife’s condition, and Chen Tianlong realized it was a premature birth situation, boosting his confidence. Thinking back to similar hostage rescue missions before, this was a piece of cake.
But when he saw the woman in the passenger seat, his expression turned serious. He softly said to the woman on the seat, "Don’t be afraid, let me see your hand!"
Chen Tianlong placed his fingers on the woman’s pulse, and after a moment, his face turned grim.
"Your wife has a heart condition, it’s so dangerous, and you still dared to bring her out?"
Inside, Chen Tianlong was displeased.
Your wife is in such a state, and as her man, you dare to do such risky things.
Hearing this, Xu Yunfei felt a deep sense of guilt, looking regretfully at his pale-faced wife, Shuya. He really was to blame. The doctor had clearly warned him against taking her out, yet he still did.
After a while, Chen Tianlong knew it wasn’t the time to blame anyone. Calmly, he said, "Your wife’s cervix hasn’t fully opened yet. I can’t assure the safety of both mother and child. If there’s a risk, do you choose to save the mother or the child?"
