Chu Tian did not expect to pass through the toll gate without being stopped and drive directly onto the highway.
Once again, he was astonished by Luo Luo's father's influence.
He had clearly seen the checkpoint personnel staring at his car, holding their walkie-talkies and verifying information. He had expected to be forced off the highway.
He even considered telling Luo Luo, "Should we go back and get a different car?"
He still had the money to buy a car, it was just the paperwork that would take time.
If absolutely necessary, they could take a 'bullet train', which was faster than driving himself and less tiring.
The Paramount Marauder was a good car, but it was too tiring to drive.
The massive vehicle made Chu Tian very uncomfortable.
...
"Boss, they've entered the Shenhai Expressway."
While Chu Tian and Luo Luo chatted happily, they were unaware that a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard was in a following Volkswagen sedan, using his phone to report their movements to someone.
"Find an opportunity to eliminate him. Make it clean, preferably staged as an accident," came a voice from the phone.
"Understood, boss. However... there might not be an opportunity on the highway. Their car is so robust that even a head-on collision with a large oil tanker wouldn't damage it," the man said.
"Paramount Marauder! Heh, I didn't expect that little girl to have such powerful backing. You decide what to do. It's best not to harm the little girl."
"Understood, boss!"
After hanging up, he gazed deeply at the Paramount Marauder ahead.
It seemed the boss's assignment this time was a tough one. He didn't believe an ordinary student would be driving such a car around.
The boss had told him this man was a gigolo, which he found hard to believe.
With the girl's background, wouldn't her family know what kind of person was by her side?
Would they allow a gigolo to live in the same villa with her?
If it weren't for her family's permission, this man would have vanished long ago!
This man was not foolish. Having survived on this path for so long, how many fools were still alive?
The man was currently deep in thought.
Chu Tian and Luo Luo, unaware of what was happening behind them.
They could never have imagined that someone wanted to harm them.
Chu Tian also didn't expect Huang Xueyi to find out his identity so quickly.
It was much earlier than in his previous life, when he had revealed himself as the owner of the Wishful Treasure Box after getting drunk.
That was why he was framed by Huang Xueyi. In this life, he hadn't anticipated that his few encounters with Huang Xueyi in the game would lead to such early animosity. Huang Xueyi had used connections he wouldn't normally have resorted to, to uncover the identity of the player 'I am not a Druid'.
Luo Luo also didn't expect that Chu Tian's identity being exposed would be related to her.
Four hours later, they finally exited the highway.
Indeed, driving this car in the city was uncomfortable, but the smooth ride on the highway was exhilarating for Chu Tian.
When he overtook other vehicles, even large trucks quickly pulled aside and slowed down to let him pass.
They soon arrived at the address Heng Dao had sent them. Chu Tian picked up his phone and called Jian Zhi Cang Tian: "Hello, we've arrived."
"Understood, boss. We'll come out to meet you right away."
They stopped by the roadside and soon saw the man emerge from a residential complex across the street.
At first glance, Chu Tian recognized Jian Zhi Cang Tian.
"Is it them?" Luo Luo asked.
Chu Tian nodded. The three of them carried a distinct military bearing, no wonder Luo Luo could recognize them at a glance.
While others walked normally, these three maintained a straight posture, as if marching in unison.
Only Jian Zhi Cang Tian was slightly different. Despite his upright posture, he seemed a bit roguish.
As the three emerged from the complex gate, they looked around, then at Chu Tian's direction, and were visibly taken aback.
He saw Jian Zhi Cang Tian point and his lips form the word: "Holy shit!"
Without hesitation, the three walked over.
Chu Tian and Luo Luo also opened their car doors.
"Boss?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian looked at Chu Tian.
"Just call me Xiao Tian. Don't keep calling me 'boss', it sounds like we're in the mafia," Chu Tian said with a smile.
"Brother Tian, is this sister-in-law Number One?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian asked Chu Tian, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"My name is Luo Yiyi, the 'yi' from one, two, three, four," Luo Luo said with a smile, giving her signature introduction.
"Wow, sister-in-law, you're even prettier than in the game," Jian Zhi Cang Tian praised without reservation. Luo Luo blushed and moved closer to Chu Tian, unsure how to respond.
But Jian Zhi Cang Tian continued, "Sister-in-law, do you have any single friends you could introduce me to? Even if they're not attractive, as long as they have a good figure! Anyway..."
"Anyway, your grandpa," Chu Tian interrupted and kicked him. "Don't keep calling her 'sister-in-law'. We two..." He glanced at Luo Luo and didn't finish his sentence.
Chu Tian cut off Jian Zhi Cang Tian's next words because he knew the rest would be: "Anyway, it's all the same once the lights are off."
This guy had no shame, talking non-stop like a runaway train, saying anything he pleased.
"Uh... then what should I call you?"
"Just call me Luo Luo," she said, wondering why Chu Tian had interrupted him.
Looking at Jian Zhi Cang Tian, he seemed like a handsome young man with a military aura. He shouldn't have trouble finding a partner.
At this moment, Heng Dao also stepped forward: "Heng Dao, Gao Kai!"
Although he spoke little, it was evident that he was genuinely happy.
"Xiao Liu Zi, what are you looking at?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian called out.
"Xiao Tian, look at Xiao Liu, he's fallen in love with your car. He used to be our driver," Gao Kai said with a smile.
Xiao Liu was Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni, named Jin Kai Yu. Because he ranked sixth under Gao Kai in the army, everyone called him Xiao Liu Zi.
Jin Kai Yu hurried over when Zhao Lei called him and greeted Chu Tian: "Brother Tian, is this car real? Not modified? No, it's just the exterior modified. If you drive it like this, you'll still get fined!"
"It's not mine, it's Luo Luo's!" Chu Tian said nonchalantly.
"Ah? Sister Luo... Luo Luo, can I have a go in it?" Jin Kai Yu sheepishly adjusted his glasses and asked Luo Luo.
Luo Luo smiled and pulled Chu Tian a few steps to the side: "The keys are in the car."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Jin Kai Yu immediately opened the door and hopped in.
"Holy shit, I want to go too!" Zhao Lei said, following him.
Gao Kai smiled apologetically at Chu Tian and Luo Luo: "These two haven't been out of the army for long and haven't driven cars like this in a while."
"It's fine, let them have fun. We're going to see the bride!" Luo Luo said.
Upon hearing this, Gao Kai seemed a little awkward.
