Chapter 71: Two Choices
The driver, upon hearing this, surprisingly slowed down the car's speed, which made Ling Fei, who had ridden on extreme roller coasters several times, feel a bit unaccustomed. What made him even more unaccustomed was yet to come. The driver, seemingly out of nowhere, pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, turning his head with a cool expression towards Ling Fei and saying, "Have you seen that movie?"
Ling Fei was taken aback for a moment, then muttered: "N...no movie?"
The god of cars hooked up the corner of his mouth, revealing his white teeth; "Black-clothed man..."
“……”
"Alright, just kidding, let's hurry up and I'll take you guys somewhere first."
The driver turned his head, his tone unusually serious, which made Ling Fei's heart skip a beat. He hastily grabbed the handle above the car door and frantically fastened his seatbelt, only then taking a deep breath with a lingering sense of fear. Looking at Xiao Yu Yun beside him, who was still confused, he wondered: "Brother Fei, why are you so scared...?"
Thus, the tragedy of Demon's downfall occurred once again on Xiao Yuyun's body...
The car god had just finished speaking, and with a sudden press of the accelerator, the car shot out like an arrow off the string, overtaking one car after another before speeding into the tunnel. Because it was already late at night, the tunnel was relatively deserted, with only a few cars slowly passing through. A yellow taxi that entered the tunnel transformed into a faint yellow shadow, carrying a whistling wind sound as it wove in and out of the sparse traffic flow, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Speeding all the way, the speed was so fast that it made people's tongues tied, Ling Fei felt like his brain and body were disconnected, his whole body was floating and soft, he couldn't exert any strength. Xiao Yu Yun's situation was even worse, white foam was coming out of her mouth, she was almost fainting, which showed how terrifying the car god's speed was.
"This feeling, it is..."
Under that feeling of almost flying, Ling Fei's right arm transmitted a numb and sore pain, and Ling Fei murmured dazedly.
That pain grew stronger and stronger, and Ling Fei's mind gradually cleared up. He touched his right arm, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. That feeling was none other than the long-lost spiritual energy slowly filling his right arm. This discovery made Ling Fei somewhat ecstatic. The sudden return of his lost abilities undoubtedly added a few chips to his challenge against the three families.
Ling Fei hadn't even had time to savor the joy of being reunited when Che Shen suddenly accelerated, catching Ling Fei off guard and forcing him to hastily grab onto the handlebars.
"Big brother, next time when speeding up, can you let me know?"
Ling Fei took a glance at the outside environment, but due to the high speed, nothing was visible. However, he could vaguely make out that it was a mountain road. Ling Fei feared that if Che Shen got too excited, they might overturn the car, so he spoke up to remind him.
Who would have thought that Che Shen (car god) smiled slyly; "No way..."
“……”
This mountain road is where Ling Fei first met Che Shen, the ring-shaped mountain road that Che Shen mentioned before. As its name suggests, it winds like a snake's body and is very steep and dangerous.
The driver, however, took the treacherous mountain road with ease, drifting around one sharp turn after another, accelerating to at least 200 km/h as he sped towards the mountaintop.
In the blink of an eye, Che Shen drove through the mountain road and reached the top. The top was a forest, and in the forest, there was a small path that was just enough for the car to drive in. Ling Fei barely opened his eyes and took a look, and when he saw the current scene, his heart skipped a beat; "I said, bro... don't drive anymore..."
The driver didn't respond and floored it, charging directly into the alleyway.
"Ah......!"
Xiao Yuyun, who had fainted, let out a miserable cry as if her soul was returning. In the quiet night, only the sound of her cry and the car's noise kept echoing.
The car quickly passed through the small path in the forest and rushed towards the mountain cliff.
"Hey! Stop stop stop! It's going to fall down!"
Ling Fei saw the situation and quickly unfastened his seatbelt, leaning over to tap on the shoulder of the driver, who was still smiling confidently. Just a few meters away from the cliff, he suddenly turned the steering wheel all the way around, causing the taxi to make a sharp U-turn and come to an abrupt stop at the edge of the cliff.
Seeing that it's safe now, Ling Fei collapsed back into his seat, pale-faced and muttering to himself; "Next time I'll absolutely not take your car, I swear..."
Taking a glance at Xiao Yu Yun beside him, Ling Fei felt for the first time that fainting was also a kind of happiness.
"Get out of the car, the first thing I want to say is that you will have the answer as soon as you get out." The Car God turned off the engine and put away the keys, saying to Ling Fei.
Ling Fei took a deep look at Che Shen, adjusted his breath, gently opened the car door and got out of the car. He looked around and saw that the mountain cliff was empty, not a single person in sight. Ling Fei closed the car door with one hand, put both hands in his pockets, and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
Standing on the edge of the mountain, you can see half of Shanghai. Watching the night view here is indeed a good choice. After watching for a while, Ling Fei twisted his neck; "Where is it?"
"This."
Before the words had fallen, a crisp female voice replied. Ling Fei's eyebrows rose as he looked up into the air, where the girl who had caused trouble in the bar was quietly floating, smiling at him with her eyes.
"What are you looking for me?" Ling Fei asked, shifting his gaze back to the distance, taking in the beautiful night view, with its dazzling lights and a hint of extravagance.
"Can't I find you if nothing's wrong?" The girl landed lightly and stood behind Ling Fei, pouting in dissatisfaction.
"Haha, bro, your little brother looks like he's about to die." The car god got out of the car and leaned against it, speaking at the right moment.
Ling Fei waved his hand; "He won't die, he's very lucky." He then glanced at the girl who had walked to his side with his peripheral vision; "What do you want to do? If you don't say anything, I'll leave."
The girl smiled indifferently; "If you don't want to know what I'm going to say, then leave." After that, the girl turned her back and walked back and forth along the edge of the cliff. She just didn't speak.
Ling Fei gave her a disdainful glance; "Girl, you also look down on me too much." After saying that, Ling Fei turned his head and left, not saying anything else.
The girl was anxious at a glance and hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Don't you really want to know?"
Ling Fei turned his back to her and waved his hand, "Not interested, go find someone else to talk to." As he spoke, Ling Fei had already walked to the taxi, first glancing at the driver, then opening the door to get in.
"Wait! It's about your origins!" The girl saw that Ling Fei was really going to leave, so she had no choice but to swallow her pride and ran to the side of the car, grabbing onto the door handle and not letting Ling Fei close the door.
Ling Fei was taken aback, and then suddenly lost his smile; "What did you say? My background? What background could a small person like me have? Don't tell me that my biological father is some kind of billionaire or something, it's too cliché. I don't have money to be deceived by you."
Upon hearing Ling Fei's words, the girl calmed down and smiled slightly; "A small character? If an ability killer who once stirred up a storm of fear in the entire heterogeneity community, dared to challenge the leader of Shanghai's strongest three factions, is considered a small character, then I don't think anyone else deserves to be called a big shot."
As she spoke, the girl playfully nodded her chin and looked at Ling Fei with a sideways glance.
"Well, should I just sit and listen then?" Ling Fei heard her words, furrowed his brow, and immediately said.
"You're quite bold!" The girl scolded with a sentence, took a glance at the driver god, and smiled to say: "Big brother, thank you, can you give me a ride for a bit?"
The car god snapped his fingers; "Get in." His words were brief, seemingly the car god's style. After the girl got on the car, the car god also sat up to drive, just about to start the fire, Ling Fei stopped him; "Don't... I... I'll walk down the mountain."
The car god laughed and stepped on the accelerator all the way, speeding away.
……
After getting down the mountain, the car god did slow down the speed, which finally settled Ling Fei's hanging heart a bit. He knocked on the passenger seat and said, "Speak, I'm a bit sleepy."
The girl glanced at Ling Fei through the rearview mirror, smiled slightly and said: "Do you want to know how your parents died? Do you want to know who your grandfather is?"
Ling Fei's body trembled slightly after hearing the news. His parents' death had always been a pain in his heart, but no matter how he searched or investigated, Ling Fei couldn't find any signs of the seemingly non-existent "murderer". All evidence suggested that his parents died from carbon monoxide poisoning, but Ling Fei knew things weren't that simple.
"Do you know?" Ling Fei's voice was somewhat chilly, but the girl didn't seem to care; "That's right, I do. Now it's your turn to choose. I'll give you two options: first, listen to my arrangement and go with me to the Ability Alliance headquarters in two months; second, go ask your grandfather directly. Choose."
