“Of course! I’ve spent a lot of effort into winning the deal. I’ll have to sign it no matter how much Beck Corporation tries to stop me,” Ling Wei said determinedly.
“Things might be a little tricky though!” Tang Hao furrowed his brows.
“Don’t worry. I’ll have more bodyguards tomorrow. There should be no problem as long as we’re prepared for it.”
Tang Hao laughed drily. The beautiful president had not realized that her opponents were not normal humans.
He thought about it for a while but did not share his concerns.
Telling her the truth might make her worry even more. All he had to do tomorrow was stay close to her and ensure her safety/
“I’ll… send you home now?” Tang Hao said.
“Well…” Ling Wei hesitated. She thought of something and her cheeks blushed. “I don’t think I should go home now… Where is your house?”
“You want to stay over?” Tang Hao was shocked.
Ling Wei blushed even harder than ever. “They must be staking out my house now. What if they try to hurt me again when I’m alone at home?”
Tang Hao thought that it was indeed a possibility.
His eyes swept over the body of the beautiful president, and he was reminded of the first time they met.
Back then, her chest was half-bared. The scene appeared vividly in front of his eyes again.
She had nearly taken her clothes off.
“Ahem!” He coughed lightly and composed himself. “Let’s go to my house then!”
He started the car once more and drove toward his house.
He stopped at a convenience store halfway to pick up a toothbrush, a towel, and other toiletries. As for her clothes, she planned to ask someone to send them over to Tang Hao’s house the next morning.
Tang Hao’s house in Provincial City was a typical three-bedroom apartment. There were vacant rooms for guests.
She went into one of the guest rooms.
Soon, she came out and spoke awkwardly. “Do you… have any spare clothes? I… want to take a shower…”
“Oh!” Tang Hao replied. He rummaged through his closed and handed her a set of pajamas.
Soon, he could hear the sounds of flowing water from that room.
Tang Hao went to the balcony, took out his phone, and dialed Shabby Taoist Master’s number.
Shabby Taoist Master was well-traveled. Perhaps he might have some insights about Beck Corporation.
“Hey, Fellow Cultivator Tang! Do you miss me? Is there anything?” Shabby Taoist Master said excitedly.
“Taoist Master, do you know Beck Corporation?” Tang Hao asked.
Shabby Taoist Master was surprised. His tone of voice also became serious. “Why did you ask about them, Fellow Cultivator Tang? Did that pack of wolf cubs cross you?”
Chapter 252 - Game On!
“Wolf cubs?” Tang Hao raised an eyebrow when he heard that.
“So, they’re werewolves!” He mumbled. He also understood why that Westerner could stand up after being hit by a speeding car.
“The Becks are a famous family of werewolves. Especially Old Beck, who is the most notorious of all. They’re a rowdy bunch, and lately, they’ve been sneaking into Huaxia and causing unrest,” Shabby Taoist Master said.
“So, the ones that we met last time…” Tang Hao said.
“Those weren’t from the Beck family, but all the werewolves are the same: They are nothing but trouble! So, did the pack of wolf cubs cross you, Fellow Cultivator Tang?”
“There’s a conflict,” Tang Hao answered briefly.
“This pack of wolf cubs is too f*cking brazen! However, the Beck family isn’t the same as the pack before. They’re a lot stronger, and if I’m not mistaken, Beck Jr., the son of Old Beck, is living in Huaxia.
“You’ll have to be careful, Fellow Cultivator Tang. If you’re at a disadvantage, you have to tell me. I’ll bring my cultivator brothers and raze their den. We’ll make them regret ever stepping foot in Huaxia.”
“Thanks! But there’s no need to.”
They chatted for a while more before Tang Hao ended the call.
Standing on the balcony, he pondered the situation.
He flicked his wrist and a silver short sword appeared in his palm.
The short sword reflected a cold glint under the pale moonlight.
He fiddled with the sword for a while before keeping it.
He turned around to see the room door behind him open. A beautiful figure stepped out.
Ling Wei had just taken a shower and her hair was still wet. There were still some water droplets on her fair skin. The pajamas hung loosely on her body and partially obscured her curvaceous body.
She sat down on a couch in the living room and continued drying her hair with a towel.
She looked around the apartment and smiled. “You’re quite a tidy person!”
“It’s nothing!” Tang Hao said as he walked into the living room and sat down.
He focused his gaze on her and noticed something was amiss. She was not wearing anything inside the pajamas.
The discovery had made him slightly embarrassed.
Ling Wei noticed the change in Tang Hao’s expression and blushed.
“I’ll… I’ll be sleeping now. See you in the morning!” She stammered, then urgently stood up and went into her room.
Tang Hao smiled drily, then turned off the lights and went into his room.
Early the next morning, someone rang on the doorbell. It was a man in his fifties. He wore a suit and a cool pair of shades. He held a briefcase in his hand.
When Tang Hao opened the door, that person stared at Tang Hao with some hostility.
“Uncle Ming!” Ling Wei greeted that person as she stepped out of her room.
The person’s expression became even more hostile when he noticed the clothes she was wearing.
“What’s wrong, Uncle Ming?” Ling Wei said cheekily.
“I hope you kept your hands to yourself, kid!” Uncle Ming said sternly.
“Uncle Ming!” Ling Wei blushed. “It’s all thanks to him last night that I was safe!”
“Oh, Lil Ling, even if that were the case, you shouldn’t stay at his house! What would happen if the kid turned out to be a bad person? You’re a delicate girl, and you won’t be able to fight back!” Uncle Ming said reproachfully.
He sounded as though he was Ling Wei’s mother.
“Alright, alright!” Ling Wei did not want to argue. She took the briefcase and went into the room to change.
Tang Hao and Uncle Ming sat awkwardly in the living room.
Ling Wei came out of the room about half an hour later. She was in her office clothes and light makeup, but she was still as stunning as ever.
They went downstairs, and Uncle Ming opened his car door. “You should sit in my car, Lil Ling! You should know that when I was younger, they called me the God of Driving.
“Those bastards won’t be able to stop me!” He said as he laughed smugly.
Tang Hao went to his car and opened the car door without saying a word.
Ling Wei looked at the two people and said awkwardly, “I’ll be sitting in his car, Uncle Ming!”
Last night, she witnessed the incredible speed of Tang Hao’s Audi A8.
Uncle Ming’s expression stiffened. His eyes flashed with incredulity.
“Silly girl! What’s so good about his Audi? My car is custom made. It’s bulletproof.”
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. ‘What’s so great about a bulletproof car?’ He thought.
Ling Wei hesitated for a while but eventually walked toward Tang Hao’s car.
‘F*ck!” Uncle Ming cursed in his heart. ‘Just who is this kid? Lil Ling is listening to whatever he says! No, I can’t let them be alone together. Who knows what he might do!’
He walked over and also went into Tang Hao’s car.
“Don’t you have your own car?” Tang Hao was surprised.
“Ahem! I’m here to protect
Lil Ling. I’m pretty good in a fight!”
“Sure, whatever!” Tang Hao had nothing else to say.
He started the car and drove out of the residential area. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Tai An Plaza.
A convoy of cars was already waiting for President Ling in front of Tai An Plaza. Most of them were bodyguards, and the others were higher management of Tai An Group who was also going along to witness the contract signing.
“Wouldn’t that just attract more attention?” Tang Hao said.
“What’s there to worry about?” Uncle Ming said condescendingly, “With so many bodyguards, there’s nothing to be afraid of. This is a momentous event for the company, and we’ll have to put up a grand spectacle.”
Tang Hao furrowed his brows but did not say anything.
The cars started moving when President Ling arrived. Tang Hao drove his car in the middle of the convoy.
Very soon, Ling Wei’s phone started ringing.
Her expression changed when she saw the call notification. “It’s the president of Beck Corporation.”
Then, she answered the call.
“Hey, President Ling! I’ve heard that you got into an accident last night. Are you OK?” On the other end of the phone, someone spoke with accented Chinese.
“Thanks for your concern!” Ling Wei said coldly, “You ought to give up by now. Nothing can stop me from signing the contract.”
“Is that so? We’ll see about that!” The voice said coldly and hung up.
“Dammit, that Westerner is too brazen! Even the police can’t touch him!” Uncle Ming said loudly. He had gone to the police, but the police could not take action without actual evidence.
The car drove at an even speed. As they passed by a junction, several cars drove in from sideways and directly at the convoy.
They managed to slam into a few cars.
“They’re on us! Let’s go faster!” Uncle Ming roared.
Tang Hao looked to his left and right. He noticed a car dashing toward him from the left.
He swerved tightly to the left and managed to dodge it. Then, his car broke formation and sped up.
Five or six cars immediately chased behind him.
“F*ck! They’re sparing no expense!” Uncle Ming was shocked when he looked behind him.
“Let me take the wheel, kid. It’s the time for the God of Driving to flaunt his skills!” He spoke to Tang Hao excitedly.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. “Sit down! You two better fasten your seatbelts.”
Then, he grinned excitedly.
He was not afraid of a car chase at all!
Chapter 253 - Beck Jr. Is Shaken
On the top floor of a building in the city center.
A tall man with broad shoulders, blond hair and blue eyes stood in the middle of an office.
That man was Beck Jr., the heir apparent of the Beck family. He was in charge of Beck Corporation’s business in Huaxia.
A big screen hung on the wall in front of him.
On the screen was a wide, straight road, on which were a few cars chasing another car in front.
Judging by the height of the camera and the slight wobble, one could tell that the footage was taken from an aerial drone.
Beck Jr. had done all he could to stop Tai An Group from signing the contract. Ling Wei would not be able to reach her destination no matter what.
He had many men lying in ambush along the way. There were also many unmanned aerial drones keeping a close eye on the enemy’s movements.
No one could possibly escape that airtight formation!
He became more gleeful as he thought about that. He took the wine glass from the table and happily took a sip.
Meanwhile, in the car, Uncle Ming was getting impatient.
“Don’t you know the situation we’re in now, kid? This is an emergency. We’ll be finished once the cars behind catch up to us!
“Step aside and let the God of Driving take the wheel! You’re still in your mother’s womb when I terrorized the streets!” Uncle Ming said while trying to climb over from the back seat.
Tang Hao reached out and pressed him down. “That’s enough from you. You’d better fasten your seatbelt!”
“You… You filthy kid!” Uncle Ming was furious. “Do you think you can shake them off with your mediocre skills and this broken Audi? You’ll need the God of Driving at this time!” Uncle Ming said while slapping his chest.
Tang Hao did not bother to reason with him. He looked at Ling Wei sitting next to her. “Sit tight!”
Then, he floored the accelerator.
The car suddenly received a huge boost of speed, as though it had a rocket booster attached behind it.
Uncle Ming was leaning forward when that happened. The inertia slammed him firmly into the backseat and he was immediately dumbstruck.
His mind was still trying to process what happened and his eyes were opened wide in utter shock.
‘What just happened?’ He thought.
‘This is only an Audi A8 and not a super sports car with a nitro engine. How did it speed up so fast?’
Then, his face turned pale with fright.
‘Does this kid have a death wish?
‘This isn’t the racing track but a busy main road. There are so many cars on the road. At the speed he’s driving, we’ll all be dead if he makes any small mistake!’
“You… You idiot! Stop! Are you trying to kill all of us?” Uncle Ming shouted. He was already scared out of his wits.
Even Ling Wei’s face was turning pale. The speed of the car was giving her a huge fright!
The drivers of the cars that were chasing behind were also shocked. In a lapse of concentration, one of those cars ran into the car in front of his and caused an accident.
Meanwhile, in the office building, Beck Jr.’s smile froze on his face.
His eyes gradually widened as he looked on the screen at the car traveling at an incredible speed.
He had never seen a car moving that fast before!
“What the hell is that car?” He blurted. Then, he smirked. “He’ll be dead if he drives so fast on the busy road!”
In his eyes, driving the car at such a speed on a busy road was utterly idiotic.
Perhaps there was no need to intercept them. President Ling would eventually die in that driver’s hands.
He continued to observe the scene while carrying that sentiment.
His incredulity grew as he continued looking at the screen.
“No, no! This can’t be! How is that possible?” He muttered.
On the screen, the car sped along the road as fast as lightning, but at the same time, was as agile as flowing water as it moved freely amid the heavy traffic.
Whoever the driver is, the driving skills were incredible!
He stood there in a daze for a long time, then he trembled and came to his senses. He had an incredibly unpleasant look on his face.
If this went on, his plan would fail.
“Junction Number 5! Set up a blockade! Now!” He yelled into a walkie-talkie.
However, just when he sent the command, that car had already shot past Junction Number 5. It had shot past the drone’s camera.
“Number 6! Number 7! Number 8… No, everyone! Set up the blockades now! Stop that damn car no matter what it takes!” Beck Jr.’s face was contorted.
However, they were not fast enough for the speeding car. The car broke through all the blockades and moved even closer to the destination.
Meanwhile, in the car, Uncle Ming could not close his mouth. He was utterly dumbstruck.
He could not utter a word even though his mouth was open.
What was left in his heart was an incredible shock.
Meanwhile, Ling Wei’s mouth was slightly agape and she had an incredulous look on her face.
She had never seen such amazing driving skills before!
His speed and reflexes were superhuman!
Her driving skills were child’s play when compared
to Tang Hao’s.
Tang Hao’s face was impassive. All his senses and bodily functions were pushed to their limit. He had to remain incredibly focused. A single mistake would spell doom for the three of them.
The car sped past all the junctions. Nothing could stop it.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
The brakes screeched and the car stopped in front of a building.
All the pedestrians looked at the car, still in shock.
The speed earlier was too shocking!
A while later, one of the back doors opened. Uncle Ming stumbled out of the car while propping the door for support. His face was pale as a sheet.
He took a few more steps and could not keep it down anymore. He bent over and vomited.
Tang Hao looked out of the car and shook his head. “I already told him to sit tight, but he doesn’t listen!” He muttered.
Then, he looked at Ling Wei and asked her, “Are you OK?”
Ling Wei massaged her head. “I’m fine, just a little dizzy!” She said softly. Then, she prepared to open the car door and step out.
“Wait!”
Tang Hao quickly got out of the car, went to her side, and helped her out.
Her body wobbled as she stepped out and almost fell down.
Tang Hao immediately supported her and sat her back down in the car. “You should rest for a while.”
After emptying his stomach, Uncle Ming slowly walked back to the car.
“K… Kid… you’re amazing! You’re the real God of Driving!” He gestured a thumbs-up at Tang Hao as he spoke. All the condescension earlier had turned to admiration.
Tang Hao skills had utterly floored him!
Chapter 254 - Get Out of Huaxia
After resting for a while, Ling Wei regained the strength to stand up.
Soon, more cars arrived. They were all people from Tai An Group.
Beck Corporation had channeled their manpower to stop Tang Hao’s car, and that was why the other Tai An Group cars could arrive unscathed.
Many bodyguards were injured in the collision on the road earlier. Only about twenty bodyguards arrived.
