The car drove on the wide road, Lu Ming looking out the window with a serious expression.
Completely unlike Lu Ming, Xiao Zhan was in a very good mood, whistling while driving and even making faces at Lu Ming intentionally or unintentionally.
He 'comforted' him, "Lu Ming, don't be discouraged. A true man knows when to yield and when to stand tall! It's just kneeling, kowtowing, keeping vigil, and crying. What's the big deal? Back then, even the God of War Han Xin crawled between someone's legs, didn't he still write a legend? So, Lu Ming, you should..."
Before he could finish, Lu Ming turned his head slightly, giving him a chilling look that immediately scared Xiao Zhan into silence.
That gaze was too terrifying, like a demon from hell.
One could almost not possess such a terrifying gaze without having taken hundreds or thousands of lives.
"What the hell? Xiao Zhan really couldn't understand how someone like Lu Ming, who was going to be a live-in son-in-law, could have such a terrifying gaze."
He couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Zhan didn't take it too much to heart and was secretly happy.
What was a little embarrassment now? Later, when Lu Ming had to kneel and kowtow, he would be even more embarrassed! At that time, he would definitely take good pictures of Lu Ming's state and broadcast them through the media.
He would make sure Lu Ming's name was ruined throughout the country and even the world!
Lu Ming just quietly looked out the window, completely ignoring what Xiao Zhan was thinking.
Just as he was watching.
Suddenly, Lu Ming felt something was wrong.
Through the rearview mirror, he could see a large truck following them closely, about thirty meters behind.
Normally, it was perfectly normal to have a car following on a wide road.
The problem was... that car seemed to have targeted their car. No matter which lane Xiao Zhan drove in, the car behind would change lanes accordingly and maintain its distance.
It felt like a rabbit being targeted by an eagle.
The eagle was circling in the sky, maintaining its distance from the rabbit, confirming the rabbit's position; when the time was ripe, it would swoop down and take the rabbit's life!
As a Dragon Warlord, having experienced countless life-and-death battles, Lu Ming was already immune to such things.
He looked in the rearview mirror and said to Xiao Zhan, "Let me drive."
Xiao Zhan didn't react at first.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"You drive? Haha, can you even drive? Do you even have a car? This is my million-dollar Mercedes, can you afford to break it?"
As Xiao Zhan was babbling endlessly, a bend appeared ahead.
At the end of their road was a row of guardrails, and beyond the guardrails lay a ten-thousand-foot cliff.
And at this moment, it was clear that the vehicle behind them was closing in, rapidly narrowing the distance. It felt like the eagle had confirmed the rabbit's position and was ready to strike.
Not good!
He's going to crash!
Lu Ming had already realized the danger. The truck behind them clearly intended to accelerate through the bend and crash their car off the cliff.
The eagle had finally made its move.
Yet, Xiao Zhan, this thoughtless guy, hadn't realized anything and was still rambling on.
Getting closer to the bend.
300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters!
The car behind was also getting closer, less than ten meters away from Xiao Zhan's car, ready to accelerate at any moment.
Danger, danger, danger!
At this critical moment, Lu Ming couldn't care less. He leaned sideways, placed his hands on Xiao Zhan's hands, kicked away Xiao Zhan's legs, and placed his own feet horizontally on the accelerator and brake.
It was time to show his true skills!
With his hands, Lu Ming tightly held Xiao Zhan's hands, indirectly controlling the steering wheel through Xiao Zhan.
With his feet, Lu Ming had one foot horizontally pressing on the brake and accelerator, controlling both pedals with just one foot! Fortunately, it was an automatic transmission; if it were a manual, Lu Ming wouldn't be able to reach the clutch.
Ahead, 100 meters away, was the bend, the guardrail, and the bottomless pit.
Lu Ming's actions at this moment were so strange that they almost scared Xiao Zhan to death, his soul flying out of his body!
He cried out in terror, "Brother Lu Ming, I admit I was disrespectful to you earlier, I was wrong, I apologize! Please don't be angry, don't take me to die! I'm still young, I haven't gotten married, I, I, I don't want to die!!!"
Xiao Zhan thought Lu Ming was going to steer the car through the guardrail and into the abyss.
The situation was indeed developing as Xiao Zhan imagined.
With only 100 meters to the bend, a normal driver would have braked, slowed down, and taken the turn smoothly.
But!
If they did that, the truck behind would unhesitatingly accelerate and push them, car and all, off the cliff.
A dead end!
So, they couldn't slow down!
Lu Ming's goal was to 'race' with the truck behind! It was as if Lu Ming was racing the car behind. As long as Lu Ming's car was fast enough to take the bend smoothly before the truck could hit them, the truck's plan would be completely foiled.
As long as the speed was fast enough, they wouldn't be hit by the truck!
That was the theory.
But the problem was, with only 100 meters to the cliff ahead, not only did Lu Ming not slow down, but he even accelerated! At this speed, they would definitely flip and fly off.
They would surely not survive.
Xiao Zhan was so scared he couldn't speak, and a stream of pale yellow liquid flowed down his leg.
He had wet himself!
Terrified out of his mind!
Honestly, in such a life-or-death situation, few people could remain calm.
Lu Ming's sudden acceleration caught the truck driver off guard.
The truck driver frowned and said, "What's going on? Not slowing down but accelerating? Heh, it seems my tailing has been discovered. But you think you can shake me off like this? Do you think I'm a pushover? Lu Ming, Xiao Zhan, your names have already been written on my death list, don't even think about surviving!"
The truck driver stomped on the accelerator, charging forward rapidly.
No matter what, he had to push the car in front off the cliff!
The distance between the two cars narrowed.
10 meters, 7 meters, 5 meters, 3 meters, finally less than 1 meter! Even someone as foolish as Xiao Zhan realized what was going on. He knew what Lu Ming was trying to do.
The person behind wanted to harm them!
Lu Ming was trying to accelerate and escape!
But the problem was, at Lu Ming's current speed, whether he could escape or not was uncertain, but he would definitely not make it through the bend!
A cliff in front, a truck behind.
Accelerating meant plunging off the cliff, slowing down meant being hit by the truck and falling into the cliff. The outcome seemed predetermined and unchangeable.
Xiao Zhan closed his eyes in despair and shouted, "Dad, Mom, see you in the next life!!!"
