233: Chapter 233: Exorbitant Taxi Fare!
Tang Xiao cursed, “Can your imagination get any bigger?
Why don’t you just say I’m going to be your servant and take care of you for life?”
Wu Jie laughed and said, “That works too!
Having a domineering CEO be my servant, wow, just thinking about it is thrilling!”
“Thrilling my ass!
What the hell are you daydreaming about in the middle of the night?
Hurry up and roll back here!”
Wu Jie had just uttered a sound of agreent when Tang Xiao hung up the phone.
“Besides offering yourself, what else can count as a reward?”
“Material reward?
I’m so poor now I’ve only got money left, not the slightest bit attractive!”
Wu Jie was muttering to himself when a sudden incident happened at the intersection ahead.
A Land Rover Range Rover smashed through the sedan waiting at the stop line and forcibly ran the red light, attempting to turn left.
Unfortunately, it ran into a dump truck roaring straight on.
The dump truck, unable to brake in ti, slamd heavily into the rear of the Land Rover Range Rover.
The impact sent the Land Rover spinning like a top out into the intersection.
It finally crashed, with a bang, against the curb at the edge of the intersection.
Under the force of the massive inertia, it sorsaulted towards the square by the street.
A number of square-dancing grannies were so frightened they sprinted away, their speed comparable to a hundred-ter dash.
After tumbling and rolling several tis, the Land Rover Range Rover ended up upside down, completely unrecognizable.
Its wheels were spinning, and the alarm was piercing.
A large plu of white smoke erged from the front of the car.
On the other side of the intersection, two sedans burst forth, running the red light and speeding over, with a number of fierce-looking strong n descending from the vehicles.
However, before they could get close to the overturned Land Rover, they imdiately retreated to their cars and fled in panic.
It turned out that a patrol unit of ard special operatives around the square, seeing the overturned vehicle incident, were sprinting over to help.
“Damn!
This scene…
it’s like sothing out of a blockbuster movie!”
Taking advantage of the junction not yet completely blocked by the accident, Wu Jie slowed down and drove through.
He glanced over at the upside-down Land Rover Range Rover and noticed several bullet holes on the car body.
The rear passenger door opened, and a man with a bloodied head crawled out.
Upon closer inspection, Wu Jie realized it was Xu Feng.
After crawling out, Xu Feng staggered towards the roadside.
Pushing through the onlookers who had gathered, he reached the curb and tried to hail a car.
But not a single passing driver dared to stop; instead, he commandeered a young girl’s shared bicycle and pedaled for his life desperately.
Wu Jie slowly accelerated and followed at a leisurely pace.
Perhaps because of being chased, Xu Feng had tapped into his latent potential.
He was pedaling so furiously that he actually overtook so of the electric bike riders.
But how could he compete with a rcedes?
Wu Jie sped up to catch up and, keeping pace with Xu Feng, rolled down the car window.
“Hey, isn’t that Mr.
Xu?
You’re really eco-friendly, out cycling for fitness in the middle of the night!”
Startled by Wu Jie’s call, Xu Feng imdiately wiped his forehead and, taking advantage of the motion, turned to look.
Upon seeing Wu Jie, he was overjoyed, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.
“Quick!
Take to the airport!
I need to go back to Liuli City!” Xu Feng shouted excitedly.
“Huh?
You’re bleeding, but instead of going to a hospital, you want to go to the airport?” Wu Jie laughed.
“Besides, this isn’t a taxi or a ride-hailing car.
If you’re in such a hurry to catch a flight, why not hail a cab or call Didi?”
Call Didi?
I call you hell!
Xu Feng was furiously frustrated.
“I dropped my phone in the car, can’t make the call!
Can’t you give a ride?
I gave you a black card, rember?”
“Black card?
Oh, you an that pitch-black card with just a phone number?” Wu Jie laughed.
“I didn’t see its use, so who knows where I tossed it, maybe in so corner sowhere.”
“What??”
Xu Feng glared wide-eyed.
A black card that common people could only dream of getting had been casually discarded by Wu Jie.
Moreover, Wu Jie drove a rcedes, while he was riding a bicycle…
Based on their respective statuses, they should have switched vehicles.
It’s just a pity that he was now so exhausted he could die and also frightened.
He was afraid that soone from the Mu Family might suddenly leap out from so corner and turn him into a blood sieve within minutes.
“Brother!
As long as you take to the airport, I’ll agree to any price, okay?”
Xu Feng was nearly collapsing from exhaustion, hadn’t eaten dinner, and had been through a thrilling and dangerous car chase.
Now riding a bike and still trying to keep up with the rcedes, he was truly about to drop dead from fatigue.
“You’ll pay?
But my wife is already making supper, telling to co ho for dinner!”
Wu Jie appeared reluctant.
Xu Feng was infuriated.
Lifting his left hand, he shouted:
“This Earl chanical Watch on my wrist is worth over three million in the market.
Take to the airport and it’s yours!”
Wu Jie exclaid incredulously, “No way?
That watch, on Taobao it’s at most five hundred bucks!
Not enough, add sothing more!”
Xu Feng was so angry he felt like spitting blood.
“Then I’ll add this Cartier custom diamond necklace as well.
I spent over a million on it; surely that’s acceptable?”
Wu Jie slamd on the brakes.
Xu Feng hastily stopped as well, ditched the bike, and imdiately tried to open the car door, finding it locked.
He was so anxious he nearly wet himself.
“The co-driver’s seat is for the wife, sit in the back!”
Xu Feng didn’t dare to argue, hurriedly opened the back door, got in, and as soon as the door shut, he urged:
“Hurry up, brother, it’s a matter of life and death!”
Wu Jie stretched out his right hand, “The items?”
“Co on!
Are you afraid I won’t give them to you?”
With a look of furious resentnt and heartache, Xu Feng reluctantly took off the watch and necklace.
Spending five million to catch a ride to the airport…
This, damn it, must be the most expensive taxi fare in human history!
“Take them!!
Start driving now!”
Xu Feng grumpily threw the watch and necklace to Wu Jie.
“These aren’t fake goods, are they?”
“Co on!
I bought them from an official store; how could they be fake?
Just drive, the Mu Family’s people could show up at any mont!”
Xu Feng was frantic with impatience, wishing he could kick Wu Jie out and drive off himself.
“Fine!
I’ll get soone to check these out later.
If they’re high-quality fakes, I’ll certainly co to Liuli City to settle the score!”
Mashing on the gas pedal, the rcedes roared as it accelerated.
“Hmph!
I wish you would co!
It would give a chance to get them back!”
Xu Feng muttered under his breath, pulling out a tissue and wiping the blood off his face.
Wu Jie steered the wheel, driving onto the elevated road at a leisurely pace.
“What’s with the noise in your car?” Xu Feng suddenly asked.
Wu Jie snorted coldly, “Damn!
You have the nerve to ask, haven’t you seen your people smash my new car’s windshield?”
Xu Feng gritted his teeth and said, “It was chaos at that ti; how could I know who broke it!
Talking about losses, I’ve lost much more, a few of my n were hanged, several cars were wrecked, coming to Tianyuan this ti, really damn disastrous!”
Wu Jie laughed coldly, “It’s said that you tried to fra soone but ended up falling into your own trap, making trouble with the Mu Family and inadvertently giving the Fang and Xu families a free gift!”
Xu Feng laughed at himself, “This ti the plan wasn’t thorough, I wasn’t well prepared, I damn well admit defeat!”
Wu Jie laughed, “A strong dragon cannot suppress the local snakes!
You were asking for it, coming all the way from Liuli City to Tianyuan to stir up trouble, wasn’t that courting death?”
Xu Feng glared at him, snorting coldly, “You don’t know the industry, of course you can’t understand the imnse profits involved.
Liuli City’s market has long been saturated, while Tianyuan’s economy is booming with huge consur potential!”
“Taking over Tianyuan is tantamount to controlling the business of four surrounding provinces, dozens of cities and counties, and a population of two to three hundred million.
Can you imagine the profit in that?
Is it not worth the risk?”
No sooner had he spoken than Xu Feng was suddenly alard.
He saw the ramp leading to the airport ahead, with flashing police lights, and all the cars lined up into a long queue.
After each was checked, only then were they allowed to drive onto the airport expressway…
