Chapter 1141 — Scraped a Hole in the Car

If memory served, Wei Zhao had already tendered his resignation to Gu Pengzhan last time; and the reason he had stayed on again was a promise he had made to Shen Yushu — he had remained, more or less, in the capacity of a friend.

"Why thank me? I've got more clothes than I can ever wear anyway. From now on we'll just share them — otherwise they'd only go to waste!" Gu Mengyao said with feigned indifference, saying one thing while meaning another.

Wei Zhao smiled. The young mistress was always like this — kind to others, yet acting as if it were nothing at all. The classic sort who does you a favor and refuses to take any credit for it. Still, it was rather endearing.

"Then let's get going, shall we? I can't wait!" Feng Xiaoxiao said, a little impatiently.

"Mm, let's go." Wei Zhao nodded.

The five of them left the villa. Gu Mengyao told General Mighty to guard the house well, then locked the door.

As for who would sit in the passenger seat, the young mistress, Xiaoshu, and Tang Yun tacitly yielded the spot to Feng Xiaoxiao. The three of them knew Feng Xiaoxiao's situation perfectly well, and this outing was meant to fulfill one of her wishes; so everyone's aim was simply to make Feng Xiaoxiao happy — even Xiaoshu did not argue with her over it.

Wei Zhao's Range Rover took the lead, An Jianwen's Ferrari followed behind, and at the very back came Yang Ganglou's Audi Q7.

They made no attempt to hide it, following right along behind, as if they really were one convoy traveling together.

"Sister Yaoyao, An Jianwen's car is catching up." Shen Yushu glanced back and said to Gu Mengyao.

"I see it. Let them do as they like." The young mistress frowned and said nothing more.

"Hubby Wei Zhao, in a bit, pick the dirt roads on purpose. They brought a sports car out — drive them to death!" Feng Xiaoxiao snorted.

"Ha, I was just about to say that!" Shen Yushu cried.

Wei Zhao smiled, turned the wheel, and chose the worst dirt road in all of Songshan City — the one leading to the sea! Cars rarely traveled that road; only farm vehicles heading into town at dawn to sell vegetables used it, along with the odd cargo truck banned from the main roads.

It was the kind of road that had become a road simply because enough people had driven over it. No official body had ever bothered to maintain it, so of course the surface was terrible.

For an off-road vehicle like the Range Rover, though, it was no great challenge. For An Jianwen's sports car, it was a bit of a nightmare.

"Brother An, why is this road so bad? I can't keep up..." Su Taizao was driving the sports car, and seeing the road grow worse and worse, he hurriedly complained to An Jianwen.

"I let you drive precisely because the road is bad! If it were good, I'd be driving myself! Weren't you the underground racing king of Songshan City's track? How come you're losing your touch now?" An Jianwen glared at him. "Keep up, and don't you dare lose them! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me to win a girl over — don't you waste it!"

"Yes..." Su Taizao had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep driving, though the road was truly hard going — and for a sports car, harder still.

"They're still following?" Feng Xiaoxiao was rather surprised. On a road like this, An Jianwen could still keep up?

"That driver, Su Taizao, must be quite good — he picks out the flat stretches to drive on. He should be able to hang on for now." Wei Zhao had been watching the cars behind him in the rearview mirror the whole time.

Su Taizao could barely keep up, but it was a struggle — an agonizing one.

"Crunch—" With a great bang, Su Taizao stopped the car and said to An Jianwen with a bitter face, "Brother An, bad news — I scraped the undercarriage. I think I've torn something open!"

"What? Can't you watch where you're driving? Are you blind?" The moment An Jianwen heard the car was damaged, he flew into a rage! Of all times for the car to break down — wasn't this just sabotaging him?

"This... holding out this long on a surface like this is already pretty good. Our car's chassis is just too low..." Su Taizao said with a wry smile.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier? What do we do now?" An Jianwen didn't actually care about the car — for a man who raked in a fortune every day, what was one sports car? It was the delay to their trip that was the real problem!

"How about the two of us take Yang Ganglou's Q7 first, and leave him here to wait for the tow truck?" Su Taizao suggested.

"Fine, then it's settled!" An Jianwen got out of the car without further discussion.

Su Taizao explained things to Yang Ganglou, who of course stayed behind without complaint to wait for the tow truck, handing the Q7 over to An Jianwen and Su Taizao.

"An off-roader really is something else!" Sitting in the Audi Q7, An Jianwen felt much more comfortable — the ride before had nearly shaken him to death!

"They've switched cars." Wei Zhao had known all along that An Jianwen would not give up so easily, so he was not particularly surprised.

Feng Xiaoxiao, though, was a little disappointed. She had meant to give An Jianwen and Su Taizao a hard time — at the very least leave them upside down in a ditch! This was only the beginning; the road ahead was the truly difficult part. But who would have thought they would switch cars in the nick of time.

"Never mind. Let them follow. We'll deal with them later — deal with them but good!" Feng Xiaoxiao said, grinding her teeth.

Gu Mengyao suddenly realized that having a fool like An Jianwen tagging along was actually rather amusing — at least the journey would not be dull! Provided, of course, that Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao, those two little hellions, were around; otherwise she really would not know how to deal with him.

Songshan City's seaside was divided into the bathing beach and the ordinary stretch. The bathing beach occupied relatively safe waters, with safety nets blocking off the deep-water zone in the middle of the sea so that the fierce creatures of the ocean could not enter the swimming area — fully guaranteeing the safety of the tourists!

But that area was always the most crowded, and the water quality the worst. After all, with people soaking in it every day, the water could hardly be anything but poor.

What Wei Zhao had in mind was the ordinary stretch of beach, where there was hardly anyone at all. Ordinary people would not choose to swim there either — after all, when a normal person saw a shark, running was all they could do. Who else but Shen Yushu and Wei Zhao would think of catching a shark to eat?

Su Taizao drove the Audi after Wei Zhao's Range Rover. As the sky grew darker and darker and Wei Zhao's road grew more and more remote, Su Taizao, who was not a brave man, began to feel anxious and afraid.

"Brother An, what kind of place is this? Why is it so dark? There aren't even any streetlights. Something's not right! I'm a little scared..." Su Taizao locked the car doors and said cautiously.

"Look at how much nerve you've got. What's there to be afraid of? Aren't Wei Zhao and the others still up ahead? Four little girls in that car aren't scared — what's a grown man like you afraid of?" An Jianwen snorted impatiently.
