The Ferry of Salvation

Chapter 754 The Settled Heart

"No, I wouldn't presume to greet them first. Sister Yin introduced me to many new friends, and they are all very nice people, completely different from those we encountered before."

Yali Li began to chat animatedly with Li Chonglou. Since Li Chonglou had left the villa and hadn't returned, he was completely unaware of what had happened at the banquet afterwards.

In fact, right after the competition ended, Yali Li had come out to call him to join them. But Li Chonglou knew that entering at that moment would attract a lot of attention, so he decided to wait outside, specifically finding a place where no one would notice.

In fact, according to Yali Li, this saved him a lot of trouble.

During the later banquet, many people who approached Yali Li with greetings were actually there to see Li Chonglou, including Jiang Jiaxing and Liu Qiang, who were clearly there to cause trouble.

"By the way, someone said they wanted to meet you, and they also said you would definitely agree to meet them..."

"Who?"

"He said his name is Ma San, the person you fought against in the first round."

Li Chonglou immediately understood and smiled faintly, saying, "So it was him. Did he give you my contact information?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yali Li handed him a business card and then looked at Li Chonglou with a curious gaze, asking.

"So you really will meet him. Why?"

"That's a long story. Simply put, we've been to the same place?"

Yali Li's curiosity intensified, but Li Chonglou offered no further explanation, leaving her feeling a bit frustrated.

The two continued to chat until Li Chonglou drove out of the mountain resort.

Unbeknownst to them, Gao Baisong was still waiting outside the village.

And he wasn't alone this time; he had also brought his entire convoy with him.

"Captain, how much longer do we have to wait? Why don't we just call the police?"

"Yeah, if it's really like you said, then we should just call the police. We shouldn't get involved in this sort of thing."

His convoy wasn't very large, only seven people, but they were all old friends who had known each other for at least twenty years. So, even though Gao Baisong's reason was a bit absurd, they still came to accompany him in his stakeout.

Waiting outside a wealthy neighborhood for a stranger who looked somewhat like his daughter was something anyone would find absurd.

But these friends expressed their understanding.

They all knew that Gao Baisong's daughter had been deceived before, and had even tried to commit suicide. It was only after Gao Baisong's profound fatherly love that she was finally persuaded back. Therefore, they could understand his extreme behavior.

Just then, Gao Baisong finally saw Yali Li's car drive out.

"It's that car! Block him!"

Gao Baisong's expression changed, and he quickly rushed back to his car. The others, seeing this, also returned to their respective taxis. Then, seven cars lined up and pursued Li Chonglou's car.

As they were a convoy, they all had pagers. Gao Baisong picked up his pager and gave instructions to everyone.

"Number One, Number Two, Number Three, turn left and get on the highway!"

"Number Four, Number Five, turn right and block his country road!"

"Number Six, stay with me!"

As Gao Baisong finished speaking, the seven cars split up, while he and Number Six accelerated in pursuit.

Such an obvious pursuit naturally attracted Li Chonglou's attention. Unsure of the situation, Li Chonglou thought he had attracted trouble and someone was chasing him. So he also stepped on the accelerator, raising the RPMs.

Yali Li was caught off guard, pressed back into her seat.

"What's wrong, Brother Li?"

The sudden acceleration made her panic. After all, they were in a car. No matter how strong you were, if something went wrong at this speed, it would be a hundred percent certain that the car would be destroyed and they would die!

There was no room for luck!

However, driving was a skill Li Chonglou had mastered. If he wanted to, he could probably win an award in any racing competition.

So, he didn't pay attention to Yali Li's panic and calmly replied.

"Someone is chasing us. Hold on tight."

As soon as he finished speaking, he floored the accelerator. Yali Li's face suddenly changed, her hands gripping the handrail tightly, and she closed her eyes, not daring to open them.

On the wide road, Yali Li's car sped like a roaring dragon on the ground. Some slower cars felt a sudden blast as a black shadow flashed past their windows.

"Damn it! Are they in a hurry to reincarnate!"

Ačƒ–å­ was startled and immediately honked his horn in anger. Then, another two black shadows flashed past.

"What the hell! Are they crazy! Taxis are daring to speed like this these days?"

The fat man stared dumbfounded at the three cars that were rapidly shrinking in the distance.

"Captain, my car can't keep up!"

"It's okay, let me!"

Only Gao Baisong's car had been subtly modified. When he was young, he was also a racing enthusiast. He had earned his captain position back then with his excellent driving skills.

At this moment, others also reported in.

"Number One is on the highway! They should be able to intercept him in about ten minutes!"

"Number Four has entered the country road, awaiting instructions."

"Good!"

Gao Baisong put down his pager. At this moment, the heart that had been dormant for so long suddenly ignited. Ever since he accepted his fate as a taxi driver to support his family, he hadn't practiced his driving skills for ten years.

Now, stimulated by Li Chonglou, he felt like a fish that had returned to the sea after being away for a long time.

"Kid, I won't lose to you!"

Gao Baisong's eyes gleamed. At this moment, he no longer knew if it was for Yali Li or for the long-dormant dream in his heart.

Unfortunately, there was a significant gap between their cars.

Although Gao Baisong had secretly modified his taxi, Yali Li's car was a sports car worth millions. Li Chonglou had deliberately chosen this car to deal with the banquets of these young people.

Therefore, there was a world of difference in their configurations. Despite Gao Baisong's best efforts, he could barely keep up without being left behind.

A few minutes later, just as Li Chonglou was about to turn into the city to shake off his pursuers, two taxis suddenly appeared ahead.

From a distance, Li Chonglou spotted that they had clearly stopped there to block the road. His expression immediately changed, and he quickly slammed on the brakes.

With a screech of tires, they finally stopped less than five meters away from the other cars.

"Get down, and don't come out."

After giving instructions, Li Chonglou quickly got out of the car and locked the doors.
