Around one o'clock in the afternoon, as Fei Hu just threw the empty instant noodle box into the trash can, he saw Yingzi walking in from the entrance of the alley. She called out from a distance, "Wait a minute, Fei Hu! This place is really hard to find; I ended up walking through two extra alleys!"
Fei Hu stopped and smiled, saying, "Why didn't you call? For someone who has never been here, it's like entering a maze. It's actually just this small area; the layout of the alleys is a bit chaotic."
Yingzi nodded and followed Fei Hu into the room. She casually placed a bag on the bed and said, "This is all your gear; hurry up and change! Once you're ready, we'll set off immediately."
Fei Hu chuckled and replied, "No need! I have new clothes; they won't be bad at all." Sometimes, he was quite vain in front of women.
"I know you have new clothes; you wouldn't run around naked every day. But you definitely don't have these, which is why I got them for you. Take a look! You'll definitely like them," Yingzi said with a sweet smile. Fei Hu scratched his head awkwardly and took the bag. Upon looking inside, he realized that he actually didn't have any of these items, but they were all things he liked.
There was a pair of goggles that fit him perfectly as if they were custom-made. There was also a well-known sports outfit and a pair of spiked athletic shoes. This was great; if he wore them to fight, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. There were also spiked wrist guards and palm protectors. Yingzi had thought of everything, and Fei Hu couldn't help but ask, "This must have cost quite a bit, right?"
"Why do you care about the money? Just wear them; who knows when they might come in handy," Yingzi replied with a hint of impatience.
Fei Hu thought to himself that since it was free for him to wear, he might as well go along with it. So he said, "Then could you step outside for a moment? I need to change."
Yingzi rolled her eyes at him and remained seated, saying, "You really have no ambition. Just change; I can't be bothered to watch you." With that, she turned her face towards the window. Fei Hu sighed inwardly at her boldness; if she wasn't afraid, then what was there for him to fear? In just a few moments, he changed into the sportswear Yingzi had brought him and felt incredibly impressive. He had envied those who wore such outfits back in school but could only watch because he didn't have the money.
Once Yingzi saw that Fei Hu had changed, she turned around and looked him up and down before saying, "Not bad! It fits well, and you look much more spirited. Let's go!"
As they exited the alley, Yingzi's car was parked by the roadside. As soon as Fei Hu got in, he put on the goggles. Yingzi smiled and said, "This look is so cool; you really resemble a hero from a movie." Hearing this made Fei Hu's heart bloom with joy.
The BMW roared and sped off towards the outskirts, with Fei Hu sitting in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed ahead, not daring to say a word. He didn't understand why Yingzi insisted on driving so fast.
At the waiting area of the highway entrance, Yingzi suddenly parked next to a silver BMW, then opened the door and got out. Fei Hu was left alone in the car, feeling bored, so he closed his eyes to rest. Suddenly, he heard the car door open, followed by a pleasant woman's voice: "Hello! Nice to be traveling with you."
Fei Hu was startled, sensing that the newcomer was not Yingzi. He quickly opened his eyes and was stunned to see Ye Xiaofei sitting beside him, dressed casually in a sports shirt and sneakers, looking both carefree and beautiful. Fei Hu stared at Ye Xiaofei for a long time without speaking; he couldn't figure out what was happening. Yingzi had clearly said she would accompany him, so how did it turn into Ye Xiaofei?
While Fei Hu was in a daze, Ye Xiaofei smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face that's surprising you?"
Fei Hu snapped back to reality and quietly replied, "No, it's just that you're too beautiful." As soon as he said this, he regretted it; he knew Ye Xiaofei didn't like hearing such things from him, yet he always spoke insincerely.
"Is that so? Then you should look a little longer and sit tight; I'm going to drive now," Ye Xiaofei said with a smile over her shoulder at Fei Hu. That smile made him feel weak all over.
Despite her appearance as a rich young lady, Ye Xiaofei drove just as well as Yingzi. Once they hit the highway, her speedometer never dropped below 120 km/h as she zoomed down the overtaking lane, leaving countless cars behind. Fei Hu had initially planned to take a nap in the car, but under these circumstances, he dared not sleep. Soon enough, he noticed in the rearview mirror that a silver BMW was closely tailing them without any intention of leaving.
Confused, Fei Hu turned around and saw that the car behind them had Yingzi and an elderly man inside.
Why did that old man look so familiar? Fei Hu racked his brain trying to remember. It was one night at the villa during a fierce battle. Just as he was lost in thought, the car suddenly braked hard; they had reached the exit of the highway. After paying the toll, Ye Xiaofei asked the toll collector a couple of questions that seemed related to directions. Fei Hu listened vaguely while still pondering the relationship between the two people in each car.
Once off the highway and onto a provincial road, even high-end cars couldn't go fast anymore. They hadn't traveled long before they turned onto a rural dirt road. The road was bumpy and uneven; driving on it felt like dancing. Ye Xiaofei struggled to control the car, which made Fei Hu's heart ache. He quickly lowered his voice and suggested, "How about I drive? I'm more used to this kind of road."
Ye Xiaofei perked up at this suggestion and said happily, "Sure! I'm feeling a bit tired anyway; it's perfect timing for me to take a break. You can drive!" She pulled over to the side of the road so they could switch seats quickly. Since Fei Hu had driven on similar roads back home quite often, it wasn't too difficult for him. However, the road kept getting harder to navigate as it transitioned from flat terrain to mountainous paths filled with lush trees that made it feel like they had entered an ancient forest.
As Fei Hu drove, he wondered why they had come to such a place where there seemed to be nothing worth seeing besides forests. It was puzzling why Yingzi had prepared so much gear for such an unremarkable location; after traveling such a long distance, they had only seen a few people. This thought made him chuckle at Yingzi's tendency to make a big deal out of small things.
Suddenly, Yingzi accelerated sharply and pulled up alongside Fei Hu's car, signaling for him to stop. Fei Hu quickly pressed down on the brake pedal while thinking about what could possibly be happening now—was she trying to scare him?
Yingzi opened the car door and ran out, saying to Ye Xiaofei and Fei Hu, "There are several suspicious vehicles following us from behind. Everyone get ready; this area has few pedestrians and is a mobile phone dead zone, so be careful."
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu quickly leaned out of the window and saw five cars approaching in the distance. They were moving fast, kicking up dust on the mountain road that formed a long trail behind them. It looked quite spectacular, but Fei Hu's heart sank; it seemed another fierce battle was imminent.
Fei Hu swiftly turned around, grabbed the gear that Yingzi had given him from the back seat, and put it on without missing a piece. He then asked Yingzi, "What should we do now?"
Yingzi frowned and decisively said, "Accelerate and see if we can shake them off." After saying that, she turned and got back into the car. The BMW roared to life as they sped off down the mountain road. Fei Hu gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed ahead; he couldn't afford to be careless. In the passenger seat, Ye Xiaofei held onto the armrest tightly, showing a hint of nervousness on her face.
Yingzi in front showed no signs of slowing down; the car bounced up and down, swerving left and right amidst dangerous situations. Fei Hu bit his lip as he noticed the two cars were only a few meters apart. He thought that if something happened, at least they could support each other; if they got too far apart, it would be difficult to explain.
Unfortunately, the road conditions were poor, and with the sedan's low chassis unsuitable for mountain roads, no matter how hard he tried, the cars behind continued to close in. From the rearview mirror, Fei Hu saw that the first car was an off-road Jeep followed by several pickups; no wonder they were so fast.
The vehicles soon entered a narrow passage between two mountains where the road became even more treacherous. Suddenly, the engines of the cars behind roared as they charged forward, quickly aligning alongside Fei Hu's vehicle. They aggressively swerved towards him. Fei Hu was worried about damaging their nice cars and tried to avoid them as much as possible. As a result, the Jeep in front overtook him and chased after Yingzi's BMW.
"Catch up! Don't worry about damaging your car; ram into them!" Ye Xiaofei shouted urgently.
With a beautiful woman giving orders, how could Fei Hu not comply? He pressed down on the accelerator fully; smoke billowed from the BMW as dust flew up on both sides. The car shot forward like an arrow. Fei Hu's heart raced; at this speed on such a rough road, one small mistake could send them flying off the road and straight to Yama King.
By the time Fei Hu caught up, the Jeep had already collided with Yingzi's BMW on the road. The sound of impact was relentless; no one cared about preserving their vehicles—they just wanted to force each other into a corner. However, Yingzi's car was on the outer lane while the Jeep was on the inner lane. In this regard, Yingzi was already at a disadvantage; one wrong move could send her off the cliff. Fei Hu was frantic with worry.
