Learning About My Time Of Death For An Insane Life - Chapter 19
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Yeliang sped down the streets in his Ferrari.
With the phenomenal G-forces assaulting his whole body, and his blood pumping, he floored the accelerator!
The booming sound of the exhaust echoed throughout the city. The cars in front seemed to have sprouted eyes on the rear windscreen as they all ducked to one side, avoiding the multi-million dollar luxury car in a hurry.
This was because they knew that if they were to scratch the paint work, they would have to pay for the damages for the rest of their lives. Road rage was also practically non-existent. They all gave way meekly.
The pedestrians stood rooted to the ground, their eyes glued to the speeding red Ferrari as it sped past.
People who had no idea what was going on were cursing silently. “Wonder which filthy rich family’s arrogant heir is out there engaged in street racing again? We should call the police and have him arrested!”
However, this kind of people would gradually fade off. The further Chen Yeliang went, the wider the road became.
Traffic police on motorcycles with flashing red and blue lights darted out from various side streets and surrounded the Ferrari.
However, they didn’t caution the owner of the Ferrari, nor did they take any enforcement measures. On the contrary, because the speedy Ferrari kept leaving the attending traffic police behind, other traffic police motorcycles kept darting out and joining in along the way.
“The red Ferrari is about to enter Xuanwu Street. Is the road clear?” The traffic police officer who got left behind reported the location of the Ferrari.
Someone on the walkie-talkie replied immediately, “Xuanwu Street has been cleared. The red Ferrari has already gone past!”
Not expecting the Ferrari to blaze by this soon, the traffic police officer was left speechless for a while. He recovered quickly and changed to another channel.
“The Ferrari has gone past Xuanwu Street, the Ferrari has gone past Xuanwu Street. Is the street ahead clear?”
“It’s still being cleared…”
Chen Yeliang glanced at the traffic police motorcycles that he had sped past and flashed them a two-finger salute.
Buzz! Buzz!
The phone’s notification ringtone rang out again.
Looking at the route map that Officer Zhao had sent him, Chen Yeliang stepped on the accelerator and flew past the cross-junction ahead.
After that, he swung the steering wheel all the way to the right. The rear wheels made a ferocious screeching sound as the traction on the custom-made tires produced a thick plume of white smoke.
Wang Yun replied, “Officer Zhao, I’ve entered Hanshan Avenue. Over.”
Practically every single traffic police officer in the city had been mobilized to clear the road for the Ferrari.
It was a pity that Officer Zhao did not have sufficient authority to directly track the two suspects. He could only use the most clumsy method—linking up the surveillance cameras at the various intersections in an attempt to deduce the whereabouts of the suspects.
Officer Zhao held his phone and quickly sent a voice message. “Student Chen, the latest surveillance footage shows that the two suspects are heading towards the second-hand furniture factory in the northwest direction. That place is full of old houses and the roads are narrow. Don’t pursue them anymore!”
His intention was to persuade Chen Yeliang to give up. After all, regardless of how good his driving skills were, with the wide body design of the Ferrari, he would not be able to squeeze through the narrow gaps no matter how hard he tried!
But Chen Yeliang totally misunderstood him. “I understand, Officer Zhao. There wouldn’t be any surveillance cameras over there, you can just watch my live stream directly.”
With that, he opened the car’s GPS map and memorized the terrain near the furniture factory.
Officer Zhao nearly went mad with anxiety. “Why are you taking over and giving me orders now? Who’s the police?”
The way things were developing had gone far beyond his control. Worried that he could not shoulder the responsibility, Officer Zhao dialed Lan Penghao’s number with a long face.
The viewers on the live streaming channel had yet to recover from the thrilling suspense of the earlier precarious heart-stopping action, and Chen Yeliang was already acting in another “Speed” movie.
The emotions of the web viewers ebbed like the waves on the beach. Before one wave of hot-blooded ardor had subsided, the next wave had arrived!
“Not only did Chen Yeliang miraculously survive, he is now going after the culprits himself. He’s going to solve the case himself, awesome!”
“What happened to the voting? Why did they change to street racing now?”
“Not only is Chen Yeliang street-racing, he even has the authorities clearing the way for him. Awesomeness multiplied!”
“I want to sit in his passenger seat so badly and enjoy the riches of the world with him!”
The barrage of comments in the live stream started flashing once more.
Gan Tongtong could finally breathe again. She felt weak all over and fell into the chair limply.
Her eyes were glued to the screen. Judging from the camera angle closely following Chen Yeliang’s every move, it was clear now that Chen Yeliang was the one seeking collaboration for his death live streaming!
Gan Tongtong was too dazed by this piece of unbelievably good fortune. She stared at the handsome face on the screen with a silly grin.
“Hehehe, don’t just stand there.” She said to the staff standing behind her, “Go and put in extra hours of overtime work. We’re going to be rich!”
The staff did not understand what was going on, but in the absence of the boss, Gan Tongtong was next-in-command. The technical department staff immediately returned to their respective stations and did their best to support the server.
Not only that, now that Chen Yeliang had left the parkour competition, there would no longer be any issues of copyright infringement on the part of Feiyun Live Streaming platforms.
The publicity department immediately proceeded to whip up a feverish mania online, to attract passersby to watch the car chase live.
Feiyun Live Streaming exploded in popularity. Within a brief two hours, the viewership numbers of this live stream exceeded five million, easily crushing their competitors!
All of these achievements were made possible thanks to Chen Yeliang!
At this moment, the sky was getting dark. The setting sun on the horizon cast a red glow on the pedestrians, as if they were wrapped in a warm shawl.
Chen Yeliang turned on the headlights of the Ferrari and coasted to a stop in front of the second-hand furniture factory.
Now, without Officer Zhao’s guidance and GPS tracking, the viewers wondered whether Chen Yeliang had lost his quarry!
But Chen Yeliang simply smiled and parked the car in front of the furniture factory.
This furniture factory used to be a noodle shop 20 years ago. Since almost all the residents in the vicinity worked here, it came as no surprise that the houses the residents built on their own surrounded their workplace.
Subsequently, the noodle factory moved away and the place was bought over by the business owner of a second-hand furniture company to use as a factory. However, being situated in a centralized location, any movement nearby could be heard clearly from the entranceway.
Chen Yeliang sat back and relaxed in the car, listening to the sound of the motorcycle getting closer and closer.
It turned out that he drove too fast. After knowing their destination, he actually overtook Xiong Chang and his partner.
He propped his head up with one hand, looking in the direction of the sound of the approaching motorcycle.
At this moment, a pitch black motorcycle came out from the alley and entered Chen Yeliang’s line of sight.
Xiong Chang and Qiu Pengpai were not wearing helmets. They were stunned when they saw the Ferrari parked outside the furniture factory.
When they saw Chen Yeliang in the car, the color drained from their faces and their eyes widened as though they had seen a ghost.
Chen Yeliang immediately sent a message to Officer Zhao: “Officer Zhao, I have intercepted them at the entrance of the furniture factory.”
Officer Zhao did not reply immediately. Chen Yeliang thought that he must be busy.
He put down his phone and waved at the two shocked men. “Hi!”
Qiu Pengpai pointed at Chen Yeliang and stammered, “Old pal It’s… it’s… it’s a corpse! It’s a corpse!”
Xiong Chang spat on the ground. “When the f*ck have you ever seen a corpse driving a luxury car!”
He glared at Chen Yeliang, his bloodshot eyes filled with animosity. He leered at the Ferrari greedily and licked his lips.
“I didn’t expect you to be so rich. You brought this here to show off!”
Chen Yeliang did not respond but simply smiled and said, “The police have already locked onto your location, better surrender now!”
“You and what army?” Xiong Chang sneered. “I can kill you with just one finger!”
His threat was as clear as daylight.
Chen Yeliang was not afraid at all.. He patted the red car and said, “Is that so? Then feel free to give it a try!”
