Even if Yu Shiyue was a complete novice and had never driven before, she knew that if she wanted to get out of the car at the next bend, she should slow down in advance.
Otherwise, take a high-speed turn...
They'll just fly right out, right?
Yu Shiyue looked at Xia Che and then froze.
Xia Che's face was more serious than ever before.
His face was so gloomy it was like a dark cloud, and his eyes were filled with a hint of hysteria. Yu Shiyue had never seen such a desperate look in Xia Che's eyes before.
His eyes were always gentle.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Shiyue's heart leaped into her throat; she instantly realized that something unexpected might have happened.
"...Sorry for dragging you into this."
Xia Che swallowed hard, a bitter taste heavy on his lips. "The specifics are too complicated to explain, so I'll keep it brief... Someone has been trying to kill me, and they're here now, in the car behind us."
to be honest.
Yu Shiyue always felt that her life was quite peaceful.
Even when I decided to escape the restrictive and oppressive environment of my home, I didn't go beyond the scope of a normal person's life.
The most exciting wish she could imagine was simply racing cars.
But at this moment, Yu Shiyue's heart started to beat uncontrollably. She vaguely sensed that the little blond guy who had lived with her for so long seemed to have a completely different life from hers.
Even though we all live in the same world, our lives are very different.
The information revealed in Xia Che's words was so vast that Yu Shiyue couldn't understand why such a serious matter could become so casual in Xia Che's mouth, as if he was already used to it.
—Can someone remain so calm even when being chased?
“Are you listening? I know it might be hard to understand, since the situation came so suddenly, but…”
Xia Che pursed his lips, his brows furrowing slightly as he couldn't find a suitable explanation. The incident had happened so suddenly that he didn't even know how to resolve it, let alone explain it to Yu Shiyue.
This time, it's a real trap.
Xia Che couldn't find any outside help; all he could rely on was the steering wheel in his hand and the Mercedes GT he was driving, which served as Xu Youwei's backup car.
How to break this deadlock?
He couldn't have imagined it.
They were currently in Dayanshan, where the signal was poor and the city was quite far away. Xia Che couldn't rely on Ning Zheyuan, Wen Chenlu, or even his childhood sweetheart Qing Ning.
The distance is too far. Real life isn't a comic book; there's no magic door that you can open and go anywhere.
"I know, you don't need to explain to me. Let's discuss how to escape. Can you maintain that speed?"
Yu Shiyue turned her head to look at the rearview mirror, mentally assessed the distance between the two sides, and said with certainty, "Their car is not as fast as ours because you slowed down, which is why they were able to catch up with us. If you continue to speed up now, the distance will only increase. At least before crossing the finish line, they won't be able to catch up with us."
"As long as we can cross the finish line, with so many people at the finish line, even an assassin wouldn't dare to kill us in front of so many people, right?"
Yu Shiyue looked at Xia Che, smiled gently, and said confidently, "How about it? Shouldn't this break the deadlock?"
Xia Che looked at Yu Shiyue without saying a word.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
If Xia Che hadn't been driving and needed to concentrate, he would have been genuinely shocked.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Shiyue blinked.
"No... I just thought you were very receptive. I was still wondering how to explain it to you... I didn't expect you to accept it so readily?"
Xia Che's expression was somewhat strange.
Is being chased by assassins really such a common thing?
I don't think so...
Is it because Yu Shiyue is too receptive, or because this kind of thing is actually a trivial matter in the eyes of some people?
Regardless of the possibility, Xia Che felt that Yu Shiyue was a woman who was far from simple...
As a female high school student, Yu Shiyue's mental fortitude is exceptionally strong.
"There's no other way. There's no time to be shocked now. If we can escape successfully, we can be shocked later."
Yu Shiyue didn't need Xia Che to explain anything to her; she believed whatever he said.
Even she herself didn't realize that, imperceptibly, Yu Shiyue's trust in Xia Che had reached an extremely high level that she herself hadn't noticed.
"That makes sense. I like your carefree attitude."
Xia Che smiled gently. He hadn't expected that Yu Shiyue would be the one to comfort him at this time.
After listening to the other party's calm analysis, Xia Che regained his composure.
Yu Shiyue is right. As long as you can cross the finish line, with so many people around, the assassin behind you is unlikely to attack you.
After all, there are too many eyes.
They were just assassins, not terrorists who were willing to risk everything to trade one life for another.
Moreover, their car's specifications are far superior to theirs. Racing isn't something you can just pick up any car, get on the track, and overtake others by skill.
Why is racing so expensive?
That's because the car's features are equally important.
Although Xu Youwei's Mercedes-Benz GT was her backup car, in terms of configuration, the modified Mercedes-Benz GT was already a very strong sports car. At least in this race, it was T0.
In terms of skill, Xia Che admitted that he couldn't compare to those professional players, but he felt that he could outrun the killers behind him with the car's features.
"I haven't looked at the route after the third turn. It looks like I'll have to rely on you to finish the whole course, navigator."
Xia Che took a deep breath, gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and his eyes regained their firmness.
This time, there was no panic in his eyes.
With Yu Shiyue around, he doesn't have to face these things alone.
But hysteria also exists.
If this deadly situation cannot be avoided in the end, then Xia Che will try his best to get Yu Shiyue out first.
After all, they came for him. Yu Shiyue was just an innocent and pitiful girl who was caught in the crossfire. No matter what, Xia Che had to protect Yue-ge's sister.
"Leave it to me."
Yu Shiyue took out the route map from the interlayer in front of her. There was one in each car, but the two of them thought they could get off at the third bend, so neither of them looked at it.
Fortunately, the route map is not complicated. Some of the more complex sections are marked, and when approaching these areas, the navigator's job is to remind the driver to be careful of the current road conditions.
In other words, to give a less-than-ideal example.
The navigator is the driver's eyes.
Therefore, this requires a high degree of coordination between the two parties.
