Chapter 70 Don't Try to Escape
It was late at night, and the traffic on the street was still sporadic, not many, but not few either, just not congested. There were not many pedestrians on the roadside, just a few standing in front of bars or restaurants, not sure if they were waiting for someone or a car.
If it were any other time, this would be Tan Xuan's peak business time, and the people on the roadside would all be his potential customers. Unfortunately, there were already two free passengers in the car, and from their unclear eyes, it could be seen that they didn't want two more people in the car.
Looking at the people waiting for the bus on the street, Tan Xuan couldn't help feeling regretful and hesitant .
"Wouldn't it be nice to give me a ride?"
Qian Bo rolled down the car window, and the cool autumn wind blew into the car, blowing away the drunkenness of the passengers and also dispersing the smell of alcohol in the car.
"The night is getting cold." Qian Bo shivered and tightened his clothes.
Qian Bo, who was slightly tipsy, burped and said with a smile, "Tan Zi, I didn't realize that you are quite capable. You even prepared a custom-made gift for the old man, which really pleases the leader. If you work in the government, you will definitely be very successful. Otherwise, you should stop driving and talk to Director Chang to get you a position."
"Please stop it. I'm not the type to work peacefully." Tan Xuan said without looking away. "Director Chang has made it clear just now. We should repay the favors we owe to others. We can't hold on to favors. Xiaoying will depend on you to take care of her in the future. Don't bother the leaders for no reason. Favors can't stand being tossed around."
"Haha..." Qian Bo laughed loudly, "Xiao Jiang, listen to what Tan Zi said. It would be a shame if you don't join the agency with such awareness."
Jiang Yingyue sat in the back seat and didn't say anything, just smiled shyly. Unfortunately, the light in the car was dim, and the two people in the front didn't look back, so they were not lucky enough to see this beautiful scenery.
The car continued to drive, but it kept stopping and starting, and the traffic became increasingly congested. At first, I thought there was a red light ahead, but it kept going slower and slower, and later, it almost came to a standstill . Qian Bo couldn't help but say, "Why is there still a traffic jam in the middle of the night?"
"Is there an accident ahead?" Jiang Yingyue from the back asked, looking at the other side to remind Tan Xuan and the others, "Look, there is no traffic jam in the opposite direction, not even a car."
A half-meter-wide isolation belt separated the originally wide road into two sides. At this time, the plants on the isolation belt had withered, and the road conditions on both sides of the isolation belt were extremely poor. On one side, no car moved for a long time, and on the other side, there was no car at all.
"There must have been an accident. Cars on this side can't pass, and cars on the opposite side can't pass. It's impossible for some important leader to pass by in the middle of the night and impose traffic control." Qian Bo said half-jokingly. Traffic jams have no effect on him. It's just a matter of getting home early or late.
Qian Bo suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Hey, look, there's a car coming the other way. It looks like the traffic jam ahead has been cleared."
Qian Bo was very happy. Although the traffic jam was not so bad that it was frustrating, it would be best if there was no traffic jam at all.
Tan Xuan glanced in the direction of Qian Bo's finger, and sure enough, there was a car speeding towards him on the opposite lane. The car was red, and it stood out in the empty lane. Tan Xuan looked away after a glance, while Jiang Yingyue looked at the oncoming car with some excitement, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying with emotion: "It's finally open."
"This car looks a bit strange. It doesn't even have its lights on at night." Qian Bo muttered in confusion.
Tan Xuan took a look and found that indeed, the car under the street light did not have its lights on. He didn't know whether the lights were broken or if it was just to save money.
"It's her!" Jiang Yingyue suddenly stood up from behind and screamed loudly, pointing at the car approaching in the opposite lane.
"Who is it?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Xuan and Qian Bo looked towards the opposite car. When they saw the pale face of the woman in the driver's seat, Tan Xuan's face darkened instantly. The driver of the opposite car was none other than Sister Wang, Jiang Yingyue's former colleague and roommate who had just died two days ago.
"She's out to hurt people again. Damn it, she dares to be so ostentatious in the streets. You sit tight. I must make sure she doesn't come back today." After saying that, Tan Xuan suddenly turned the steering wheel, and his right foot switched between the brake and the accelerator, and the car turned 90 degrees directly on the spot.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Qian Bo had no idea what was wrong with Tan Xuan, nor did he know who the "she" they were talking about was. While shouting loudly, he quickly grabbed the handle on the side.
"Don't shout. Sit still. The guy who hurt Xiaoying is out to hurt people again. If I run into her today, she won't be able to escape."
While Tan Xuan was explaining, his hands and feet did not stop moving at all. The car shook and directly crossed the isolation belt and rushed into the opposite lane. Then Tan Xuan turned the steering wheel , and the car did not slow down and went straight to chase the car in front.
It was impossible to tell the brand of the red car in front, but it was driving quite fast and making no noise. It was like a red elf on the street near midnight. Tan Xuan's car was also driving quite fast, following closely behind the red car, but it was making a lot of noise, whizzing past on the street, which was obviously disturbing to other people.
"Ah!" Qian Bo screamed again. After sitting in Tan Xuan's car for so long, this was the first time he saw Tan Xuan driving so wildly, as if he didn't care about traffic rules at all. It was completely thrilling. The wine he just drank seemed to be waving in his stomach. He was far less stable and calm than Jiang Yingyue who was sitting behind him. Jiang Yingyue just clung to the back of Tan Xuan's seat tightly, staring at the car in front of her, and didn't seem to even blink.
"Close the car windows." Tan Xuan ordered while driving.
"Oh." Qian Bo hurriedly closed the car window. Seeing Tan Xuan's serious expression, Qian Bo knew that the people he encountered this time were more difficult to deal with than Sun Shunli's gang of evil spirits. But that time he had to face them in order to save himself, and this time the other party was just passing by. Why did he have to chase him and cause trouble? Isn't this asking for trouble? Qian Bo's drunken head was completely confused at this time. Even though he was sober after being shocked, he was still confused.
"This Wang has only been dead for a few days and is now back to harming people. It seems that the guy behind her is not ordinary. We don't know how many evil ghosts are with them now. We must be careful. When you catch up with the car in front, don't get off. No matter what you see, don't get off until I get back in the car. There is an anti-ghost magic circle in my car. It will be extremely difficult for them to get into the car without my permission."
"Okay, okay." When it comes to his own safety, Qian Bo didn't need Tan Xuan to give any further instructions. He kept it in mind completely. He not only closed the car windows, but also pressed the electronic lock of his door.
The distance between the two cars gradually narrowed, and soon Tan Xuan was driving side by side with the red car. At this time, Tan Xuan also confirmed the situation in the red car. There was only Sister Wang who was driving and a new ghost with a stunned expression and empty eyes.
"Wang Dongxue, stop the car!"
Tan Xuan rolled down the car window and shouted loudly towards the red car on the left.
Sister Wang in the red car, also known as Wang Dongxue by Tan Xuan, turned her head and looked at Tan Xuan with cold eyes without any emotion. Then she suddenly accelerated and left Tan Xuan's car behind.
"You want to run? Give up on this idea. You have to stay with me today."
Tan Xuan stepped on the accelerator and the car caught up again.
"Oh, slow down!"
Qian Bo shouted in panic. He didn't drive because he was timid. Now Tan Xuan dared to race with ghosts. He was so scared that he didn't dare to look outside. It was clear that he was not going to live. He wanted to get out of the car, but Tan Xuan didn't stop the car. He could only hold the handrails tightly with both hands, as if he was hanging in the car. If something happened, he might be able to be rescued. But then Tan Xuan did something that scared him half to death. When Tan Xuan caught up with the red car again, he didn't shout anymore. He just turned the steering wheel and crashed into the car.
"ah……"
"ah……"
This time it was not only Qian Bo who screamed, even Jiang Yingyue was frightened by Tan Xuan's dangerous behavior. This was not chasing a ghost at all, this was clearly following in the footsteps of the evil ghost in front.
Unfortunately, the situation that would cause them to suffer bloody heads did not happen. The car turned around and continued to move forward. There was not even the feeling of a collision. Only Tan Xuan cursed.
It turned out that the red car was not hit by Tan Xuan's car just now, but before the two cars had any contact, the red car flashed forward for no reason, as if it was pushed and accelerated, and it was about four or five meters away from Tan Xuan's car.
"Damn it, it was actually sent from the living world. It seems that the guy behind you has some connections. Fine, I'll let you run. I'll just destroy your broken car and see how you can run."
As he said that, Tan Xuan stepped on the accelerator again, and the car caught up again. When the front of the car was close to the front of the car, Tan Xuan picked up a bottle of water from the side, unscrewed the bottle cap, then pressed the window, and swung his hand outward, and the whole bottle of water instantly splashed on the red car.
Tan Xuan's actions caused Qian Bo to scream again, "Fuck, Tan Zi, are you crazy? Are you going to wash her car on the street?"
But then a scene that Qian Bo found incredible appeared. The lane next to him suddenly became empty, and the red car disappeared out of thin air after being splashed with water.
“Squeak!”
After a series of sudden brakes, the car quickly stopped on the side of the road. The people in the car were thrown forward by inertia, but fortunately the seat belts were fastened firmly and no one was injured.
"Stay in the car and don't get out."
As he said that, Tan Xuan unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the door and got out of the car. He did not forget to slam the door shut, then overtook the car and walked away aggressively.
"Oh shit, what's going on?" Qian Bo stared at Tan Xuan's every move. The seat belt on his body restricted his movements, so he unbuckled his seat belt and knelt on the seat to look out through the rear window. Jiang Yingyue, like Qian Bo, also slowly turned around following Tan Xuan's figure and stared at Tan Xuan, wanting to see what he would do next.
