Learning About My Time Of Death For An Insane Life - Chapter 20
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the eyes of law-abiding citizens, if they had seen Chen Yeliang patting the body of the car, their immediate reaction would be to think, “My car is very expensive. If you have the balls, come and bang it.”
But in Xiong Chang’s eyes, he felt that Chen Yeliang was not provoking him but threatening him.
— See if I don’t crush you guys with my Ferrari!
The motorcycle definitely wouldn’t be able to bang the Ferrari out of its way. With watchful eyes, Xiong Chang slid his feet backwards as he retreated back into the alley.
“Old pal, don’t tell me you’re afraid of this rascal!” Qiu Pengpai asked softly.
“What the f*ck do you know!” Xiong Chang scolded back. “This rascal fell from such a high building and didn’t die. Do you think it would be easy to deal with him?”
Qiu Pengpai said anxiously, “Then what do you think we should do? Our faces are already exposed!”
“There’s only one way!” Xiong Chang glanced at the furniture factory not far away.
He knew Qiu Pengpai who would not be keen on his idea, so he snorted. “You know we’ve been exposed. We can’t stay in Xilin City anymore.”
“We might as well just kill this rascal and get some money from Brother Qian. Then we can lie low and ride it out!”
“Otherwise, assuming we failed to kill him and are given a sentence of less than two years, do you think Brother Qian will let us off?!”
Although the two of them were young, they were not hot-headed rookies who had just joined the Brotherhood. They knew Qian Shan’s way of doing things very well.
Precisely because of this, they had no choice but to kill Chen Yeliang!
“Then I’ll go in and get the stuff. You keep this rascal occupied!” Qiu Pengpai said and got off the motorcycle.
“Right!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Chang pressed the horn twice to attract Chen Yeliang’s attention.
Chen Yeliang was already getting impatient from waiting, so he directly drove over.
Xiong Chang rolled the throttle, and the robust rumbling from the motorcycle grew louder. The residents nearby opened their windows and stuck their heads out to see what was causing all that racket.
He waited for Chen Yeliang to come closer. When the red car appeared in his line of sight, Xiong Chang immediately turned the motorcycle around and sped off alone.
The dust kicked up by the rear wheels obscured Chen Yeliang’s vision, but he did not hesitate. He broke through the dust cloud and headed straight for the fast disappearing motorcycle.
The red glow on the horizon gradually dimmed as the dark night slowly descended.
The alleys intertwined within the old houses were barely as wide as the Ferrari. Any deviation of the steering wheel in either direction would send the car into a heart-wrenching collision with the walls.
“Mount Akina Driving Skills!” Chen Yeliang recited in his heart.
With the help of this skill, Chen Yeliang felt as if the Ferrari had become a part of his body. In his hands, the Ferrari floated like a maglev train.
Although the car was very close to the walls on either side, it never collided with them. The car flew past without so much as brushing the debris off the walls.
“This skill is not too bad!”
In the midst of such a nail-biting situation, Chen Yeliang had one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand resting on the car window sill.
The viewers roared out their admiration. “I’m more nervous than he is when I am just driving a bumper car!”
Xiong Chang was still speeding forward with no regard for his own safety.
“Get lost! All of you get lost!” He yelled imperiously at the residents strolling in front of him before turning into an even narrower alley.
The strolling residents were so unnerved that they pressed themselves against the wall, gasping breathlessly. When they had finally caught their breath, they screamed at the exhaust fumes in the wake of the motorcycle, “Where in hell are you rushing to!”
At this moment, a red luxury car stopped at the mouth of the alley.
“Driving a f*cking car in such a narrow space!” The residents swore and quickly scooted off.
Chen Yeliang gave them an apologetic smile and looked thoughtfully into the distance where Xiong Chang had disappeared. “Strange, why is Qiu Pengpai not with him?”
The headlights of the Ferrari illuminated the road clearly, including the backseat of the motorcycle.
Qiu Pengpai, who was initially riding pillion, had disappeared.
Chen Yeliang’s right eyelid kept twitching. He felt that it was unlikely for Xiong Chang to act as a decoy out of loyalty to his partner. He was definitely up to no good.
However, this alley was honestly too narrow for the Ferrari.
Chen Yeliang pondered for a moment and recalled the map that he had memorized earlier. With a flash of inspiration, he turned around and drove out of the old residential area.
At this moment, Officer Zhao, who was watching the live stream, heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that Chen Yeliang had finally come to his senses and decided to turn back.
He recalled that when he reported Chen Yeliang’s situation to Lan Penghao earlier on, Lan Penghao was dumbfounded for a while, but he swiftly made this decision.
Initially Officer Zhao thought that he would be angry. What he did not expect was that Lan Penghao simply gave him more latitude.
“That child knows his limits and is intelligent. If there is no danger to his life, let him be.”
With that, Lan Penghao threw the ball back into Officer Zhao’s court.
Officer Zhao didn’t expect the deputy chief to be so liberal-minded as to entrust the arrest of the criminals to an undergraduate.
However, now that it appeared that Chen Yeliang would be coming back, he felt that a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
He continued watching Chen Yeliang’s live stream, smiling with a look of satisfaction.
On the screen, when Chen Yeliang should be turning left, he suddenly swung to the right!
Officer Zhao’s heart skipped a beat and his smile froze on his face.
Chen Yeliang drove the Ferrari back to the main street, not because he had given up pursuing them, but to better intercept them!
Sparks and electrical flashes followed in the wake of the fleeing Yamaha RSZ all the way. Just like a wailing police siren, the sound it emitted was so loud that it was impossible to ignore.
Chen Yeliang followed the source of the sound and took a detour via the main road to intercept Xiong Chang!
“Si—”
An all-too-familiar flash of red suddenly resurfaced like Hell’s inferno in Xiong Chang’s vision. He stomped his feet down on the ground and frantically brought the motorcycle to a sudden stop!
Chen Yeliang slowed down before coming to a complete stop at the mouth of the alley.
“F*ck!” Xiong Chang cursed and turned around to escape back the same way.
Chen Yeliang sighed helplessly: “He ran away so quickly that I didn’t even have time to ask him any question.”
It was as if Xiong Chang was a mud fish, disappearing back into the hole with a whoosh.
Chen Yeliang deployed the same trick again. Following the sound of the motorcycle engine, he pinpointed accurately Xiong Chang’s position and blocked him again at the mouths at opposite ends of the alley three or four times in a row.
Xiong Chang thought he could lead Chen Yeliang on a wild goose chase to buy some time for Qiu Pengpai. He wasn’t expecting Chen Yeliang to play a cat and mouse game with him, and trapping him inside a mouse hole.
He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. His eyes were bloodshot red, and he was so angry that he felt he would explode at any moment. Thinking that it was about time, he returned to the second-hand furniture factory with resignation.
Qiu Pengpai was already waiting at the door. When he saw Xiong Chang, he patted his pouch and said, “I’ve got it! Where’s that rascal?”
Xiong Chang’s eyes were frighteningly red. He glared at Qiu Pengpai and said, “Cut the crap. Get on!”
Before Qiu Pengpai could sit down safely, he heard Xiong Chang cursed out loudly, “Shoot on sight when that rascal appears, do you hear me!”
“Ah?” Qiu Pengpai thought that he had heard wrongly. He touched the cold shotgun in his pouch. “It’s so dark now and the aim of this gun is not good!”
“Useless thing!” Xiong Chang had no patience to listen to his reasons. He turned around and yanked the gun out roughly.
With the shotgun abruptly snatched out of his hand, it finally dawned on Qiu Pengpai that Xiong Chang was not quite in the right state of mind. He was well-aware of Xiong Chang’s temper. If he asked him the reason now, he would be subjected to a flood of verbal abuse.
Hence, he volunteered, “It’s not convenient using just one hand. Let me do the driving!”
“Hmph!” Xiong Chang snorted in disdain, but swapped places with Qiu Pengpai without protest.
In the distance, bright lights were barreling down towards them.. Xiong Chang gritted his teeth and disengaged the safety lock!
