"Got it. The real-time GPS tracking for Jiang Zhao's location has been sent to your phone, boss." Ye Ying's cool voice came from the other end of the line.
"Good."
After giving a brief response, Jiang Youli hung up the phone.
She deftly placed her phone on the car's dashboard mount, tapped the screen, and opened the real-time location Ye Ying had just sent.
A conspicuous red dot blinked on the map, like a trail left by prey.
Seeing this red dot, the corner of Jiang Youli's mouth lifted slightly, sketching a scornful smile.
Hah, so he dared to tamper with her brakes!
How utterly foolish!
But since that's the case, let Jiang Zhao have a good taste of the bitter fruit he sowed!
Didn't Jiang Zhao want her to get into a car accident?
Well, what if her car crashed into his car instead?
She was quite curious to know if Jiang Zhao's life was that tough!
Thinking of this, Jiang Youli turned her head to look at Qi Huan in the passenger seat. "Hold on tight. The car might get a bit... floaty later."
Qi Huan's handsome face remained as calm as still water, without a ripple. Hearing her words, he smiled faintly. "Drive with peace of mind. Even if this car floats up to the sky, I absolutely won't get in your way."
Jiang Youli was amused by his words and let out a soft chuckle.
"Alright then, with your word, that's enough. Let's go!"
With that, she stepped on the accelerator. The car engine roared, and the vehicle shot out of the Mimi Village parking lot like an unbridled wild horse.
...
"Brother Zhao, that wild girl has already driven off in the car with the tampered brakes," reported the bodyguard stationed at the parking lot.
At this moment, Jiang Zhao was driving his cool Ferrari sports car, speeding like the wind on the road. He was exceptionally excited and agitated, having already run several red lights along the way.
Because he knew it wouldn't be long before Jiang Youli would suffer a major accident due to that sabotaged car!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhao grew even more excited. He slammed the accelerator to the floor. "Good."
With the roar of the engine, the Ferrari streaked away like a bolt of lightning.
After hanging up the phone, he gripped the steering wheel, staring at the scenery flying past ahead, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Youli, today I'll make sure you break some bones no matter what!
New grudges and old scores, let's settle them all together!
Jiang Zhao mused to himself, his mind even conjuring up an image of Jiang Youli severely injured and on the brink of death in a car crash.
Once Jiang Youli actually had the accident, he could appear at the scene just in time, pretending to be frantic with worry, call an ambulance for her, and personally take her to the hospital.
This way, he could successfully make Jiang Youli owe him a favor while also scoring major points with Grandpa.
A perfect two-for-one deal!
...
In the parking lot, the bodyguard responsible for monitoring Jiang Youli for Jiang Zhao had just hung up the phone and was about to start his car and leave.
However, right at that moment, without any warning, a loud crash was heard. His car window was violently smashed open from the outside!
Instantly, countless shards of glass rained down, scattering all over him and inside the car.
Caught completely off guard, the bodyguard was utterly terrified, his heart leaping into his throat. He turned his frightened face towards the car window, his voice trembling as he shouted,
"Who? Who did that?"
When he finally saw clearly that the person standing outside was a woman in black with a cold, stern face, he couldn't help but frown, his tone carrying a mix of anger and confusion as he asked, "What do you want?"
Ye Ying ignored him, her expression blank as she swiftly reached a hand through the shattered window, accurately grabbed the bodyguard's collar, and ruthlessly yanked him forward.
Then, with lightning speed, she slammed his head against the already broken edge of the window.
Once, twice...
Only after beating the man until he was a bloody, unrecognizable mess did she finally let go.
Afterwards, Ye Ying calmly opened the car door from the inside.
The half-dead bodyguard slid limply from the seat like a dead dog, collapsing heavily onto the cold, hard ground.
"Without nine lives, you still dared to touch the boss's car. Truly reckless!" Ye Ying kicked the man's body aside indifferently, wiped the blood from her hands, and instructed the restaurant manager following behind her, "Chop off his hands. Feed the hands to the stray dogs. Throw the man in a dumpster."
"Yes, ma'am." The restaurant manager quickly waved for the two servers behind him to lift the unconscious bodyguard into his car, to find a place and deal with the man as Ye Ying had instructed.
...
Jiang Zhao was having a blast speeding. He took a moment to put on a Bluetooth earpiece and called Jiang Yonghe.
The call connected quickly.
"Yonghe, are you home yet?"
"Not yet, I'm on the road. Second Brother, what's the situation on your end? You haven't done anything reckless, have you?"
Hearing Yonghe's concerned voice, Jiang Zhao whistled. "No recklessness. Just wait for the surprise I'm preparing for you! Jiang Youli, she..."
At this point, he glanced at the GPS location displayed on his phone screen. The smile at the corner of his lips suddenly froze, his eyes filled with confusion.
Wait, something seemed more and more off the longer he looked.
Jiang Youli's car seemed to be heading in his direction.
A coincidence?
"Second Brother, what's wrong? What were you going to say just now?"
Jiang Zhao snapped back to reality. "Nothing. I'll hang up now. I'll tell you when I have good news."
After saying that, he looked at the location on the screen again.
That's right, Jiang Youli's position was getting closer and closer to his!
What was going on? How fast was she driving?
He was already going 100 mph! That meant Jiang Youli must be going at least 120 mph!
Although this wasn't exactly a bustling downtown area, it wasn't a very remote suburb either. This wild girl was even crazier than him!
The main question was, was Jiang Youli deliberately driving towards him, or was she just coincidentally heading this way?
Soon, Jiang Zhao felt he was overthinking it. How could Jiang Youli possibly be intentionally driving towards him? It was probably just because this road had less traffic and fewer people, and since she had discovered her brakes were faulty, she had specifically chosen this route.
Thinking this, Jiang Zhao's smile grew even more smug.
That idiot Jiang Youli, knowing her brakes were broken, still dared to drive so fast. Was she so scared she was stomping on the accelerator instead of the brake?
Oh no!
Had he gone too far this time?
He only wanted that wild girl Jiang Youli to break some bones, maybe even become crippled or paralyzed—that would pair her nicely with that cripple Qi Huan. But at the speed she was driving now, if she really crashed, she'd probably die on the spot!
Whatever!
The deed was done, there was no turning back! And he had already instructed the bodyguard to specifically damage the surveillance cameras. Even if Uncle, Aunt, and Grandpa really investigated, they definitely wouldn't be able to trace it back to him!
[Oh no... that was tomorrow's scheduled chapter, and I accidentally posted it early! Well, never mind—consider today's update as three bonus chapters instead!]
