The two quickly boarded the train. The business class seats on this train were spacious and quiet, with two people sitting side by side.
Perhaps because she hadn't slept well the night before, Wen Yan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when the train accelerated. After saying goodbye to Shen Jingcheng, she leaned back in her seat and dozed off.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Wen Yan was suddenly awakened by a noisy commotion inside the carriage.
Everyone seems to be discussing something.
Wen Yan found it strange. The passengers were quiet when she first got on the bus, but now they were all chattering.
Do these people know each other and travel together as a group?
Wen Yan didn't meddle in other people's business, and since she couldn't fall asleep anyway, she simply took out her phone and started watching short videos.
Upon opening the app, four out of the six recommended sections on the homepage feature the same video.
The cover images of these videos all feature cars driving on highways.
Upon closer inspection, the accompanying texts were all very similar.
What's with all this talk of 'Cadillac chasing a high-speed train,' 'Rolls-Royce chasing a high-speed train at 300 km/h'? And now, whose young wife has run away, and the CEO is already chasing after her?
Wen Yan wasn't interested and planned to scroll down directly.
But suddenly, she realized something.
The passengers in the carriage suddenly became noisy, seemingly discussing the scenery outside the window!
The highway in those online videos is the one right outside the window.
The sports car was likely chasing the high-speed train she was currently on.
On the elevated railway tracks, the high-speed train she was riding sped along at 260 kilometers per hour.
On the highway, netizens also captured images of two sports cars chasing the train at speeds exceeding 200 km/h.
Wen Yan's curiosity was piqued, and she leaned forward to look out the window.
On the highway's emergency lane, a fiery red supercar and a black minivan were speeding along. From above, they looked like two afterimages.
However, Wen Yan thought differently from netizens.
These two car owners may not necessarily be pursuing their wives, so why do you have to think that way?
They were speeding and using the emergency lane, so women shouldn't be blamed, okay?
Maybe they have some urgent business, or maybe they're in a hurry to be reincarnated?
Wen Yan lost interest after staring at it for only a few seconds; she even considered calling the police.
However, some people online said that the police had already been notified, so she decided not to get involved and would rather continue scrolling on her phone.
But as she scrolled on, Wen Yan began to feel that something was wrong.
These two cars look familiar.
She turned her head to look out the window again.
The two cars continued to travel at high speed, showing no intention of stopping.
Suddenly, Wen Yan recalled a detail.
She suddenly turned her head to look at Shen Jingcheng beside her.
Shen Jingcheng was also looking out the window, and unlike the other onlookers, his brows were furrowed.
If others are just watching a show, then he is worried.
"Why didn't you answer Fourth Brother's call in the waiting room just now?" Wen Yan asked Shen Jingcheng, this time omitting even the title.
Hearing her question, Shen Jingcheng snapped out of his daze.
He looked at Wen Yan, but remained silent.
Wen Yan didn't have time to argue with him and asked directly, "Is that Shen Jingchuan driving outside the window? Did you tell him about me beforehand?"
Shen Jingcheng finally spoke up and answered: "What if I said he has a telepathic connection with his twin brother?"
"So that car outside belongs to him! Right?"
"yes."
"Did you send him the high-speed rail information?"
"yes."
"He's gone mad!"
Wen Yan immediately opened her phone's contacts, wanting to call Shen Jingchuan.
In fact, Shen Jingchuan's name was right under her nose, but she missed it several times because she was too anxious.
It wasn't until Shen Jingcheng reminded her that Wen Yan calmed down and swiped back to find Shen Jingchuan's name.
When she pressed his name, the phone system prompted her to "turn off airplane mode first." Wen Yan then remembered that she had turned on airplane mode because she didn't want to be disturbed in the car, and she had been using Wi-Fi to access the internet.
No wonder she had never received a call from Shen Jingchuan.
She quickly fiddled with the system, dialed the number, and the call was answered almost immediately.
Shen Jingchuan's voice was urgent: "What the hell are you doing, Wen Yan? You come back here right now!"
Wen Yan didn't hold back at all: "You idiot, slow down. Are you out of your mind?"
"You're the one who's crazy. Who gave you permission to leave? You just disappeared without saying goodbye. I think you've been acting in too many melodramatic TV shows."
"Get lost, and stop talking nonsense! You know where I'm going; I'll be waiting for you there."
"Get out of the car! I don't want you to go to your destination, I want you to get out of the car!" Shen Jingchuan practically roared into the phone. "You fucking get out of the car, do you understand? Otherwise, I'll keep chasing you, I'll drive at 360 km/h and catch up with you!"
“Go to the destination to see me,” Wen Yan’s voice calmed down, completely different from her previous agitation. She was now frighteningly calm. “I will explain everything. If you don’t slow down now, I assure you you will never see me one last time. I mean what I say.”
You're sick!
Who's in the car behind you?
"Big brother."
"Okay, I'll tell him to slow down too, and you should slow down slowly as well."
Did you just block me?
"No, it's airplane mode, I turned it off. If you listen to me, you'll be able to contact me, okay?"
"Fuck!"
What does "fuck" mean?
"I said okay! Okay, isn't that enough?"
"Um."
Wen Yan ended her call with Shen Jingchuan and then dialed Shen Jingxiu's number.
This time, before the other party could speak first, Wen Yan said, "He's my older brother. Let's talk. I'll send you the address. Don't risk your life. That's not how you drive."
Shen Jingxiu didn't speak. Wen Yan could only hear the heavy breathing from the other end of the phone and the black minivan gradually slowing down on the highway.
After a long while, Wen Yan finally heard Shen Jingxiu's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Don't go, please."
His voice was very low, as if it were being deliberately suppressed.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yan's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She took a deep breath, her resolve unwavering: "Brother, let's talk when we meet."
-
Ten hours later, a jeep stopped at a fork in the grassland road.
The car door opened, and Wen Yan got out carrying a self-heating hot pot.
As she searched for a place, she lamented, "It's such a waste not to eat snail rice noodles in such a vast area. Why don't these businesses make self-heating snail rice noodles? They're missing out on a huge market."
Shen Jingcheng slowly walked over with two bottles of water: "You stay here, I'll invest in getting the manufacturer to make it."
