Jiang Weiwei saw Tang Zhong so confident and asked, "Do you have a way?"
"Yes, you first call the police," Tang Zhong said.
"Ah!" Jiang Weiwei exclaimed with her mouth agape, "No, absolutely not."
"Listen to me, just relax. If you believe in me, just do as I say," Tang Zhong said, staring into Jiang Weiwei's eyes.
Jiang Weiwei was stunned, looking into Tang Zhong's eyes, which were extremely bright. She didn't know why, but for this utterly uncertain matter, she had no intention of objecting at all.
"Fine, then what should I say?" Jiang Weiwei said while taking out her newly bought Apple 6s.
"Just say, the car has been stolen and now its whereabouts are unknown," Tang Zhong instructed.
"Ah!" Jiang Weiwei's mouth fell open again.
But she did as she was told.
Du Du Du!
The call connected.
A voice came through from the other end of the line.
"Hello!"
Jiang Weiwei hurriedly said the words she had prepared, "I want to report a theft! My car has disappeared,"
"What car?"
"A red BMW 7 series."
"When did you lose it?"
"Tonight."
"License plate number?"
"Jiang A78811."
"Alright, we will notify you as soon as we have any leads."
"Okay."
Whatever questions the police asked, Jiang Weiwei answered. She was extremely nervous the moment she hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Tang Zhong almost burst into laughter.
"What's so funny, huh huh, I did as you said. If your method doesn't work, you just wait," Jiang Weiwei glared at Tang Zhong and said.
"Hey, miss, I'm helping you. You don't have to kneel and beg me, and yet you talk to me like that, I won't help you anymore," Tang Zhong turned his head to the other side.
"Don't, don't mess around, help me, okay?" Jiang Weiwei said anxiously.
"Beg me!" Tang Zhong said.
"You..." Jiang Weiwei bit her teeth.
"I won't help you anymore."
"Don't... Help me, I'll treat you to a big meal later," Jiang Weiwei pleaded in a pitiful manner.
Upon hearing about a big meal, Tang Zhong immediately nodded; he was starving.
"Buckle up," Tang Zhong said.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Weiwei had a bad feeling.
"You'll know soon enough," Tang Zhong said with a smile, then slammed his foot down on the accelerator.
The engine roared and the car surged forward.
The speed was too fast, hitting 180 with one press of the pedal.
And the speed was still climbing, 200.
Jiang Weiwei was scared out of her wits. Her heart almost jumped to her throat; she had never ridden in a car moving so fast before.
What's more, there were traffic police ahead. Was this guy planning to break through the roadblock?
The traffic police saw the red BMW speeding towards them and quickly picked up the megaphone, shouting, "The car in front, you have exceeded the speed limit. I order you to stop immediately for inspection!"
But the BMW's speed didn't change at all; it even sped up further.
"You... you stop right now, the one breaking through the checkpoint is my car. This is going to have a huge impact on me. I can't believe I trusted you," Jiang Weiwei shouted.
But Tang Zhong wouldn't stop. Once the car started, it didn't have a moment to stop; now was the time to break through.
The accelerator was still increasing speed.
The car was as fast as the wind.
At first, Jiang Weiwei was still talking, but now, scared silent, she just sat in the passenger seat, watching what lay ahead.
Thump, thump, thump!
Her heart was in her throat.
Is this guy even human, driving so recklessly without knowing how to drive!
The traffic cops were so frightened by the speed of the car that they quickly scrambled out of the way.
The male traffic cop holding the megaphone hadn't even finished yelling for the car to stop before he threw the megaphone in fright, ran to a safe area, and gasped for air.
Yet the speed of the car was still climbing.
240 mph!
But at this moment, just a dozen meters ahead, there was a police roadblock that was completely impassable.
"Stop the car!" Jiang Weiwei shouted when she saw the roadblock.
At such a high speed, if we hit the roadblock, the car would be wrecked, and we'd be dead.
But Tang Zhong seemed not to hear her, driving as he pleased.
"Hey, don't you see that? There's a roadblock ahead," Jiang Weiwei yelled loudly.
"Hold tight," Tang Zhong said coldly, his entire focus on the raging car.
The BMW car was now only a dozen meters from the roadblock.
Tang Zhong slammed on the brakes, and the car came to an abrupt halt; the back of the car lifted into the air due to the sudden stop, and sparks flew from the front wheels due to the friction with the ground.
"Ah!" Jiang Weiwei screamed out, swearing that if she lived, she would settle the score with this construction worker beside her.
It looked as if the car was about to flip.
Tang Zhong pressed down on the gas pedal again, and in an instant, the car's speed increased.
It suddenly reached 260 mph.
This time, the back of the car stabilized, and the front lifted into the air.
In a moment, the entire car soared through the air like a phantom.
Jiang Weiwei screamed, but as she looked out the window with her mouth wide open, she saw the wheels leave the ground and fly right over the roadblock.
With a clang, the car landed perfectly and sped forward without any issues.
Jiang Weiwei still felt like she was in a dream. She had never ridden in such a dangerous "Flying Car." The BMW was just an ordinary car, which this man somehow drove with the thrill of a super sports car.
She turned her stiff neck to look at Tang Zhong, which shocked Jiang Weiwei even more.
That dream-like "Flying Car," and this guy had nothing wrong with him; he was even calmly whistling.
"You…didn't you say you couldn't drive?" Jiang Weiwei exclaimed.
"I can't drive, really," Tang Zhong replied.
"Not knowing how to drive and still driving so fast... who are you trying to fool!" Jiang Weiwei gave Tang Zhong a disdainful glance.
"Ah, I really can't drive, I just usually drive tanks like this," Tang Zhong explained candidly.
"Forget it, this time it's really bad. Forcing through the checkpoint, the traffic police will definitely have recorded my license plate. Ah, my image is totally ruined," Jiang Weiwei sighed.
Unwittingly,
The car came to a stop.
"Why have you stopped? The traffic police must be chasing us. Doing this, aren't you just asking to be caught?" Jiang Weiwei said.
"Get out, just leave the car here," Tang Zhong said while grabbing Jiang Weiwei's hand.
Jiang Weiwei stood frozen, not understanding—leave the car here for the traffic police? What was the difference between that and being caught directly?
"Stop right there," a voice came from behind the car.
Jiang Weiwei turned around to see the traffic cops had followed. She clenched her teeth and walked with Tang Zhong, figuring it was better not to be caught red-handed.
The two quickly hid in the distance, watching the traffic police take the car away.
"Let's go, you have to believe me, there won't be any trouble," Tang Zhong said.
"How could there be no trouble? The car's been towed, the evidence is conclusive; using the license plate, my name can be easily found. How can there be no trouble!" Jiang Weiwei was somewhat angry. This was worse than just a DUI; forcing through the checkpoint was a huge blow to her public image.
"I told you, there's no problem; if all goes well, you can go and pick up your car in half an hour," Tang Zhong insisted.
"You're lying." Jiang Weiwei was about to get angry.
At that moment, her phone rang.
Jiang Weiwei took out her iPhone and answered, "Hello?"
"May I speak with Miss Jiang?" came a voice from the other end of the line.
"Yes."
"We are the police. We have found your car. You can come to the traffic police station tomorrow to pick it up. Earlier, during the night patrol, we came across your car, thought it was a DUI, and went after it. The thief who took your car just dropped it and ran. It's all good, just remember to bring a banner of appreciation to the traffic police station tomorrow."
Jiang Weiwei was stunned but she understood—the car was returned, it was at the traffic police station, and she could pick it up the next day. As for the DUI and running the checkpoint, there was no problem at all.
Just then, Tang Zhong said with a smile, "See, I told you the car would come back!"
