Rogue Taxi

"Boss, help! Help me, boss!"

"Damn..." Zhuifeng quickly moved the phone 5 centimeters away to protect his ears. "Liu Tang, are you trying to get yourself killed? Shouting so loudly, do you want my ears to end up in the hospital?"

Though Zhuifeng had initially refused Liu Tang's request, he eventually caved to Liu Tang's persistence and gave him his phone number. Now Liu Tang called every few days, aware that Zhuifeng was driving a taxi.

"No! Boss, you really need to help me, consider it as doing business for yourself." Liu Tang quickly lowered his voice.

"Damn! What's the matter?"

"It's like this, my big sister needs to go to Qijiang for a meeting, but now my car has broken down."

"Can't she just take another car?" Zhuifeng said while opening the car door.

"No way, there's not enough time. She has less than 40 minutes before her meeting starts. This meeting is very important, she must attend! So, boss, please... okay?"

How could he not take this business, especially a big one? "Stop talking nonsense, where are you now?"

"Just arrived at the entrance of National Highway 210..."

"Okay, I'll be there in three minutes. Wait for me, don't go anywhere!" He hung up the phone, released the brake and sped off.

"Hello... hello... he hung up?... Sis, don't worry. Since my boss agreed to take you, he'll definitely get you there. You said my driving skills are good, right? But let me tell you, my boss's driving skills are not in the same league as mine..."

"Then why did you call him to take me? Forget it, I'll go back and take the expressway. Although I'll be late, it'll only be 10 or 20 minutes..."

"Why don't you let me finish before drawing conclusions? His driving skills are not in the same league as mine, but not because he's worse than me. He's better, and I think he's more than one level above me! If he takes you, not only will you not be late, I think you might even arrive early."

"Really?" Liu Tang's sister was tempted. After all, this meeting was too important, and not being late would be best.

"Why would I lie to you!" Seeing his sister doubt his idol, Liu Tang said unhappily.

"Okay, okay, I believe you!"

"Screech..."

"Damn! Are you trying to get killed, kid? Is this how you drive?... Ah... Boss, I'm... I'm sorry, hehe... don't be angry. Sis, this is my boss..."

"Your boss is him?" Looking at what seemed to be a young kid in the car, the sister felt powerless. "He looks even younger than you?"

"It's because he's younger than me, yet I call him boss. You can imagine how awesome his driving skills are." Liu Tang became proud.

"... Can you get me there on time like he said?"

"Hey!" Zhuifeng was really speechless, "If you don't get in the car, I don't think anyone can get you there on time."

"Boss, we're coming right away... Sis, relax, trust my boss, get in the car, quickly."

The sister seemed to want to say something more, but under Liu Tang's pushing and pulling, she had no choice but to get into the 'rogue' taxi.

"Boss, I'm entrusting my sister to you..."

Giving him a glance, Zhuifeng released the brake, engaged the clutch, stepped on the gas, and the car shot out like an arrow in third gear.

"Ah..."

"Don't scream! Stop screaming..." The sister's high pitch was simply too perfect, Zhuifeng really couldn't take it anymore. If he wasn't driving, he really wanted to cover his ears: "What's wrong with you?"

"Huff... huff... huff..." After taking several deep breaths, "What's wrong? Is this how you drive?"

Didn't someone else just say these words? They really are brother and sister. But Zhuifeng could understand the previous time, this time he didn't quite get it, "What's wrong, is there a problem with how I drive?"

"Problem? Look at how fast you're going now, I haven't even fastened my seatbelt..."

"How fast? I haven't really looked, wow! Isn't it just 120 km/h?" Zhuifeng was very nonchalant.

"This is 120 km/h!" She emphasized particularly.

"Jeez! Didn't you say you need to get to Qijiang in 40... no, now it's 33 minutes? I think I still need to speed up."

"Can't you take the expressway?"

"Damn! You think you can make it on the expressway? Dizzy! There's a speed limit there, 80 km/h. If I exceed that, I won't be able to get out of the toll station. If I can't get out, it means you'll be late!"

"But you should at least wait for me to fasten my seatbelt before driving."

"That's because you're slow, it's not my fault... I've already slowed down, aren't you going to fasten it?" Faced with the sister's aggrieved look, Zhuifeng had to surrender: "Why haven't you fastened it yet?"

"I... I don't have the strength."

Zhuifeng looked at her posture and burst out laughing: Her legs were spread wide apart, her upper body was slumped in the seat like she was paralyzed, her head pressed tightly against the backrest, both hands gripping the armrests tightly: "I really give up on you, come on, I'll help you fasten it."

He tried to straighten her body with one hand, damn, she's a bit heavy. He glanced upfront, no cars, eased off the gas a little: "Sister, can you not press against the door so hard?"

Seeing her loosen up a bit, he freed his other hand, "... move in a bit more, I can't reach... That's it! Okay, phew... don't use so much force, relax, you won't fall out..."

"Ah... car, car..." The sister, who had quieted down due to embarrassment, started screaming again, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Damn it! Shut up, so annoying."

He really wanted to cover his ears, if only he had four hands.

Zhuifeng quickly put one hand back on the steering wheel, slightly pulled the handbrake with the other hand, while turning the steering wheel to the right. Feeling the car's front turning right, he quickly released the handbrake, floored the accelerator, and the car's front suddenly lifted and rushed to the right. Now both of Zhuifeng's hands were back on the steering wheel, quickly turning it back. They just missed the oncoming car. Glancing at it, "Audi A8L 3.0!"

Audi A8L 3.0 (standard configuration):

Engine: V6 3.0-liter 5 valves per cylinder

Maximum power: 160 kW

Horsepower: Around 210 hp

Drive mode: Front-wheel drive

Top speed: 240 km/h

0-100 km/h acceleration time: 8.3 seconds

One minute earlier, in the Audi A8L.

"Director Dong, aren't you still on vacation? As far as I know, everything is progressing smoothly now, you don't need to rush back, right? Has something gone wrong?"

"By the way, Little Zhang, you've been in Chongqing for a few months, right?" Director Dong didn't answer his question! "Have you heard about what happened on Chongqing's 'Death Road' recently?"

"Oh, you mean the street race between Liu Tang and that guy called Wind God? I've heard about it, but I don't believe it. I've raced on that road, I used all my strength and it took me 34 minutes and 47 seconds. The rumor says that the kid only used 30 minutes and 31 seconds! I think it's too exaggerated, he couldn't possibly be that fast! Director Dong, why are you asking about this?"

[Zhang Song: Racing driver for the Zhongshen Team] [Age: 23] [Racing Experience: 2 years] [Car: Ford Mustang]

"It's nothing! Watch out! There's a car in front!"

Just as Zhang Song was about to take action, he saw the taxi's front swerve to the right. Understanding his intention, he also moved slightly to the right.

Watching the taxi pass by, Director Dong had a thought! That person is not simple.

Although the technique wasn't perfect, to be able to do this in a hurry was quite impressive: "Zhang Song, I don't think I've ever ridden in your car before, how about it?"

"What do you mean? Director Dong, aren't you in the car now?"

"Ahem... I mean I haven't ridden in your car racing, how about it, can you do it?"

"But, Director Dong, your health...?"

"It's fine, I often ride in race cars. Come on, turn around, let's chase that taxi we just passed." Director Dong excited, tightened his seatbelt again, and waved his hand.

"Chase a taxi?" Zhang Song wanted to laugh. Although my car isn't modified, compared to a taxi, this... how can a taxi compare?

"Go on, let's go!"

"Alright, hold on tight!" Although he wasn't very willing, who told the other person to be his boss? He stepped on the gas, and the car easily reached 120 km/h! He pulled the handbrake, the rear wheels instantly locked, quickly turned the steering wheel to the left, screech... As the rear wheels drew a semicircle on the road surface, the car swiftly turned around. He released the handbrake, floored it, shifted gears, and the car pounced forward like a hungry wolf...

"How about that? Exciting, right! Haha..." Zhuifeng proudly glanced at the now pale-faced sister, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You...your crazy...you're simply crazy! I... I..."

She even had trouble speaking now, so she definitely couldn't scream anymore. Hehe... this was exactly the effect he wanted. Zhuifeng's face became even more smug! "Wow damn! Only twenty-some minutes left, sit tight!"

The sister's originally pale face became even more interesting, a mix of pale and white. She used all her strength to grip the armrests tightly.

Zhuifeng shook his head at the sight, shifted to fourth gear, and concentrated on driving: "... Hey, isn't this the Audi from just now? How did it catch up?... Wow damn! Did I scratch him when we passed earlier?... " He glanced at the lifeless-eyed sister, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. I can't let you catch up with me now, making me pay and waste my time... But this isn't good, right? Besides, I don't think I scratched him earlier?... Damn it, never mind, I'm going first..."

He slowly pressed the accelerator to the floor, and the speed imperceptibly rose to 140 km/h without the sister noticing.

However, hehe! After all, it's an Audi. How could a Lingyang compete with it? It quickly stuck close behind Zhuifeng.

"What are you so proud of, it's just because your car is better. You want to stop me? No way!" Zhuifeng kept a close eye on the rearview mirror.

"Director Dong, why are we chasing him? We didn't suffer any loss earlier, right?" Having easily caught up with the Lingyang, Zhang Song found it very boring.

"Nothing, I just miss the feeling of riding in a fast car." 

"You call this a fast car?... Director Dong, I mean his speed isn't fast at all! I..."
