Chapter 539: There’s Something
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Yuanyuan quickly fastened his seatbelt and stared at the car in front of her. The car in front was getting further and further away.
It was almost ten o’clock, and the location was remote. The car in front was about to take off.
When they turned the corner, the tires were about to burst into flames.
In order to keep up with them, Xiao Li could only drive faster.
Ji Yuanyuan was so frightened that she tightened his grip on his seatbelt. “That’s something!” Xiao Li sighed.
“What?” Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously.
“I’m talking about the car in front. The driver is quite something.” Xiao Li explained.
Ji Yuanyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and muttered, “Could he be…”
Xiao Li said the driver of the car in front of them was something, but in Ji Yuanyuan’s opinion, Xiao Li was more capable.
On such an empty street, Xiao Li couldn’t get too close.
There were a few times when Ji Yuanyuan thought they would lose them, but
Xiao Li insisted on following them all the way to the foot of a mountain.
The mountain was a winding mountain road. To be careful, Xiao Li waited at the foot of the mountain for a while before driving up the mountain.
However, after driving for a short distance, they saw a roadblock in front of them and there were people guarding it.
Seeing a car coming over, the guard came forward and asked suspiciously, “What are you here for? Do you have an invitation?”
Invitation? Ji Yuanyuan came by following Ji Zi’ang, so where did she get the invitation?
Ji Yuanyuan poked her head out from the front pa.s.senger seat and said with a smile, “Big brother, my brother has fallen out of love. 1 heard there will be a meteor tonight. I want to bring him up the mountain to make a wish.”
“No, no, there’s a compet.i.tion on the mountain. You guys, come back another day.” The person who set up the barricade saw Ji Yuanyuan was a beautiful young lady and spoke in a gentler tone.
“Really?” Ji Yuanyuan pretended to be curious. “What kind of compet.i.tion was on the mountain? We won’t affect them, is that okay?”
“The car is driving so fast in a car race. If I let you guys in, I won’t be able to bear the responsibility if something happens.”
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan did not insist and only smiled, “Thank you, Big
Brother. We’ll come again another day.”
Then, she looked at Xiao Li, “Brother, let’s go back for today.”
Xiao Li reversed the car expressionlessly. He looked like he had just broken up. Therefore, the person who set up the roadblock did not suspect anything. After driving for some distance, Xiao Li turned the car around and walked down the mountain.
“Are we going back just like this?” Xiao Li asked.
“Brother Xiao Li, please wait with me for a while,” Ji Yuanyuan said. “I think they’ll be down in less than an hour and a half.”
In her previous life, he had become a professional racer.
After all, they were blood relatives. No matter how much she pretended not to care, she could not help but want to pay attention to them.
Therefore, she had secretly gone to find out about racing.
It was obvious that tonight’s match was not official. It was most likely a small compet.i.tion organized by a group of fans.
The mountain was not high, and the road was not long. The compet.i.tion would end in an hour at most. Including the waiting time and preparation time, it would take at most an hour and a half.
Xiao Li found a secluded spot, parked the car, and turned on the radio.
Ji Yuanyuan called Qin Junshan and explained the situation. Then, she took out her MP4 and read a novel for a while.
An hour and a half pa.s.sed by quickly.
At around 1030 pm, Xiao Li suddenly sat up straight and whispered, “They’re coming down. Your Second Brother and the others are coming down.”
Ji Yuanyuan also straightened up and looked over.
Sure enough, the black car with an ’83’ ending came down from the mountain.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly fastened her seatbelt, “Brother Xiao Li, quickly follow him.”
Xiao Li stepped on the accelerator and the car followed.
As they were very close to the black car, Ji Yuanyuan instructed, “Press the horn to remind him to stop the car.”
If he was in the car, he would definitely notice the car behind him.
He definitely recognized Brother Li’s license plate.
They were in the suburbs, so they could honk.
Xiao Li pressed the honk several times in a row. The car in front obviously slowed down, but it didn’t stop.
Xiao Li rushed forward and walked side by side with the car in front.
Ji Yuanyuan rolled down the car window, “Ji Zi’ang, get right now.”
The car window on the opposite side slowly rolled down.
Ji Zi’ang, who was in the pa.s.senger seat, looked at Ji Yuanyuan with a terrified expression. The driver was wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses at night, staring straight ahead.
The car quickly stopped and Ji Zi’ang alighted by the roadside.
As soon as he closed the door, the black car sped away.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the pitiful Ji Zi’ang standing by the roadside and said coldly, “Get in the car!”
With his head lowered, he opened the backseat door pitifully and quickly got into the car.
“Where do you plan to go?” Ji Yuanyuan asked.
Normally, the dormitory would be locked at ten o’clock at night. It was already half past ten.
“Back to school. I’ll go in through the window. Our dormitory is on the first floor.” Ji Zi’ang said with his head lowered.
It turned out he had already thought about it, Ji Yuanyuan’s lips twitched.
When Xiao Li heard that, he immediately drove in the direction of Ji Zi’ang’s school.
When they arrived at the school gate, Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang alighted from the car.
Standing at the school gate, Ji Zi’ang was like a primary school student who had made a mistake. He asked weakly, “Why are you there? You even know I’m in that car?”
“I’ve been following you since you returned to school. Second Brother, I didn’t expect…”
“Don’t tell Dad and Mom about this! If they knew, they would definitely say that 1 was not doing my job properly.” Ji Zi’ang looked up anxiously.
“Did you spend all your money on a racing car? Are you just watching from the side, or are you going up to compete?” Ji Yuanyuan asked again.
Seeing Ji Zi’ang’s hesitation, Ji Yuanyuan whispered, “1 want to hear the truth.” “Car racing is expensive, and rent a day is expensive. We’re all students and don’t have much money. I’ll just sc.r.a.pe together money to rent a car and take turns practicing. Today… If I win, 1 can get a bonus. Unfortunately, I lost…” Ji Yuanyuan sighed helplessly at Ji Zi’ang’s reaction.
She knew that Ji Zi’ang liked racing.
She just did not expect him to like it to this extent. He would spend all his living expenses on racing, and he couldn’t even afford to eat, but he was still dreaming.
She took out her wallet and fished out five hundred-yuan bills. Just as she was about to hand them to Ji Zi’ang, she hesitated.
Then, she took out five more notes from her wallet.
“You can use this one thousand yuan first. Give your girlfriend a birthday present, buy her lipstick, or buy her some clothes, if you still want to get along with her.”
Ji Zi’ang looked up at Ji Yuanyuan with a touched expression.
A moment later, he suddenly reached out and hugged Ji Yuanyuan, “Boohoohoo… Yuanyuan, you’re so good to me. If anyone bullies you in the future, you have to tell me and I’ll help you vent your anger..”
