After Chen Zhe went downstairs, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he went into a convenience store because he knew that from where A Bao's room was located, he could see what was happening downstairs.

He walked through the convenience store, left through the back door, turned a corner, and then returned to his car.

Unbeknownst to him, two people were watching him from a short distance away as he got into the car.

These two people were none other than Ah Shui and Ah Huo, the two bodyguards who had been with Guan Yingjie during the day.

"Brother Huo, he's out. Shall we deal with him here?"

Ah Huo shook his head.

"This area is full of residential communities with surveillance cameras. Let's follow them for now and then make our move when the opportunity arises."

Before becoming bodyguards, these two were assassins on the Blood Prison List, nicknamed the Water and Fire Brothers, and had a pretty good reputation in the industry.

Guan Yingjie is a vengeful person who settles scores on the same day, which is why he sent the two of them over.

They were planning to go upstairs, but Chen Zhe suddenly came downstairs again.

Only then did he hide to the side and observe.

After Chen Zhe drove away, they quickly gave chase.

...

Chen Zhe was initially unaware that he was being followed until A Bao called him.

"Manager Chen, be careful! Someone is following you."

Chen Zhe initially thought that A Bao was trying to trick him into going back; "Brother Bao, I just came out to buy something, why would someone be following me?"

"Yes, two people followed you into the convenience store just now. Didn't you notice them?"

Chen Zhe's heart skipped a beat.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Don't come up now. Go somewhere with lots of people. Those two figures look familiar to me. They look a bit like the two bodyguards next to Guan Yingjie."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhe immediately looked in the rearview mirror and, sure enough, there was a car closely following him.

At this point, he finally believed what Abao had said.

"Brother Bao, I'm already on my way."

"Great, then head towards a crowded area and don't come back yet. If possible, wait outside the police station, and I'll send someone to pick you up."

"Well... okay, I'll call you later."

"Okay, be careful. I can't leave for the time being, you know that."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhe immediately turned around and drove towards the bustling city center.

The Water and Fire Brothers behind him were somewhat puzzled when they saw Chen Zhe change direction.

"Has he discovered us?"

Ah Shui asked.

Ah Huo, who was driving, shook his head; "I don't know, let's follow them and see."

Chen Zhe weaved back and forth on the bustling street, then got out of the car and went into a supermarket.

"Looks like they're here to buy something."

Seeing Chen Zhe park the car, the Water and Fire Brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Should we follow them?

"You go after him, I'll wait here."

"good!"

Ah Shui got out of the car, disguised himself a little, and then followed Chen Zhe inside.

Because A Bao had warned him beforehand, Chen Zhe quickly noticed that someone was following him. He pretended not to notice, casually picked out a few items from the shelf, and observed the other person's movements with the corner of his eye and the reflection in the mirror next to him.

When Ah Shui saw Chen Zhe stop, he pretended to pick out something from the side. Chen Zhe thought for a moment and immediately had an idea.

He was carrying a wig with him when he came out; it was one he kept in the house as a spare.

He quickly reached a corner, then swiftly put on a wig, pulled out a pair of glasses and put them on. He also quickly took off his coat and put it in a basket, weighing it down with something before casually setting it aside and walking briskly forward.

Ah Shui caught up but suddenly realized he had lost them.

He looked around but couldn't see Chen Zhe. Little did he know that Chen Zhe had changed his hairstyle and clothes, and even made some subtle facial expressions to blend into the crowd.

Ah Shui looked anxious. After searching everywhere but not finding Chen Zhe, he called Ah Huo.

"Brother Huo, I've lost him."

Ah Huo was a little surprised when he heard this; "You still managed to lose them?"

"I wasn't paying attention, but this kid probably spotted us. Did he get back in the car?"

Ah Huo stared at Chen Zhe's car and shook his head.

"He didn't come back."

"Should we wait?"

Ah Shui asked.

"I'll wait here, you keep looking."

"good!"

Chen Zhe left through the back door, then hailed a taxi. As he got into the car, Ah Shui finally chased after him and spotted him.

"That kid's pretty shrewd!"

Ah Shui immediately called Ah Huo.

"Brother Huo, that kid ran away and left through the back door. You need to come over right now."

"Okay! I'll be right there!"

Ah Bao drove towards the back door.

...

In the car, Chen Zhe urged the driver to hurry up because Xie Yuhan hadn't replied to his message yet, and his unease was growing stronger.

The driver, however, drove slowly.

"Why are you rushing me? Didn't you see the red light ahead? Stop at red lights, go at green lights, didn't you learn that in elementary school?"

Without saying a word, Chen Zhe pulled out a few "Niu Niu" (a type of Chinese card game) bills from his wallet; "Will this color make your eyes turn green?"

The driver's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"No problem, boss! Get ready, boss, let's launch!"

He quickly stuffed the few bills back into his pocket, then slammed on the gas pedal.

Chen Zhe suddenly felt like he was on a rocket; the feeling of being pushed back was truly amazing.

"Boss, are you in such a hurry to catch someone cheating?"

The driver asked while speeding along.

Chen Zhe suddenly felt that the conversation was somewhat familiar. It seemed that when he first came to Donghai, he met Wang De, and Wang De asked him the same question. Back then, Wang De was right; he had indeed gone to catch his wife cheating.

But Xie Yuhan wouldn't think that way; he knew very well that Xie Yuhan wasn't that kind of person.

Are all you drivers so gossipy?

The driver burst into laughter.

"It's a professional habit, a professional habit. Boss, please don't mind it. We're on the road all day long, and we can't talk to anyone else except customers. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask."

"Then don't ask anymore. Just watch where you're going. I'm a little scared of your skills."

"Boss, who are you looking down on? I used to be a race car driver, so you don't need to worry about my skills."

"Huh? You race cars too?"

Chen Zhe asked curiously.

"What do you mean 'also'? Boss, are you a race car enthusiast too?"

"I'm not, but I have a brother who is. His name is Zhang Kai. I don't know if you know him?"

"Holy crap? Who? Kai-ge???"

The driver was so surprised that he almost forgot to turn the steering wheel.

"You fucking watch out!"

Chen Zhe gripped the handrail tightly; he had almost collided with the truck in that one second.

The driver gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry, boss, I got a little excited just now. You said you know Brother Kai, right?"

"I don't know if the Kai you're talking about is Zhang Kai, but he did used to be a race car driver before he became a taxi driver."

The driver slapped the steering wheel, and the horn immediately went off.

"That's right, that's right, it's Brother Kai. Back in the day, Brother Kai was the racing god here. Many of us admired him. If he had just focused on racing back then, his achievements would definitely have been remarkable. It's a pity that the racing team disbanded for some reason later."

"You used to race with them too?"

Chen Zhe asked.

"Haha, I'm not that good. They're professionals, I'm just an enthusiast. But even though I'm just an enthusiast, I'm still quite confident in my skills. Boss, do you see that drainage ditch over there?"

Chen Zhe's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he gripped the handguards tightly with both hands.

What do you want to do?

"Haha, I'll show you how to navigate a bend in a drainage ditch, so hold on tight!"

"Holy crap! Don't you dare..."

Before Chen Zhe could finish speaking, he immediately felt the car start to shake. He gripped the handrail tightly, afraid of being thrown off.

Immediately afterwards, at a narrow bend, the driver floored the accelerator without letting go. Chen Zhe felt as if he was about to crash into the guardrail, and he tightly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, they had already passed through the several large trucks parked side by side.

The driver burst into laughter.

"How was it? My skills were pretty good, right?"

Chen Zhe felt his legs were going numb.

You almost scared me to death!

The driver burst into laughter again; "Didn't you ask for it to be fast? I'm fast!"

At that moment, he suddenly glanced at his rearview mirror and saw a black sedan behind him making the same maneuver.

The driver was immediately excited.

"Another expert? Haha, looks like you want to play with me. Fine! I'll play along today. I don't care about these points!"

After muttering to himself, he slammed on the gas pedal, and Chen Zhe felt the push-back sensation once again.

He really feels like throwing up right now.

The brothers in the car behind, one of them named Shui Huo, frowned when they saw how recklessly the taxi in front of them was behaving.

"Brother Huo, is this driver that reckless?"

Ah Huo snorted.

"That's what you call fierce? This is what I call fierce! You better sit tight, I'm going to show this taxi driver what a real king of the curves is!"

"Brother Huo, wait a minute, have you forgotten we're not here to race?"

“I haven’t forgotten. How can we complete the mission if we don’t catch up with him now? You sit tight. I’ll call him to crash and kill us when I get the chance.”

"good!"

...

At the next bend, the taxi was suddenly rammed hard in the rear by a black sedan, the impact nearly sending them crashing into the guardrail.

"You son of a bitch, trying to play violent racing with me? This is my livelihood, do you think I'll tolerate it?"

He was about to stop the car and teach the other person a lesson.

Chen Zhe held him tightly again.

"Brother, run! The other side looks hostile!"

After Chen Zhe finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have said the same thing to Zhang Kai. The first time he met Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai also stopped the car to teach him a lesson.

Chen Zhe was speechless. This guy in front of him was a combination of Wang De and Zhang Kai, both gossipy and easily angered.

"What kind of people have I run into?"

...
