Chapter 16: Speed and passion, traffic police and police have joined in!
It was before ten in the morning, not exactly rush hour, but the road was quite busy. After grabbing his bag, the driver returned to the road, thinking he was clear. Suddenly, a red-flagged car came rushing towards him in the rearview mirror. Startled, he hit the accelerator, and the powerful engine roared like thunder, catching the attention of onlookers. Ignoring red lights, he sped ahead, determined to catch up.
Lin Yang realised he had to run a red light to keep up. Gritting his teeth, he glanced at the little girl beside him, ensuring she was secure and accelerated to follow. Onlookers waiting at traffic lights witness the unexpected street race in broad daylight. The motorcyclist tried to shake off Lin Yang but realised the ordinary domestic car was tailing him with precision.
Despite attempts to overtake and change lanes, the biker couldn’t lose the pursuing car. Surprisingly, the robber slowed down when encountering a child, challenging Lin Yang’s initial perception. Both vehicles navigate the streets intensely, with the car skillfully overtaking at every turn.
The motorcyclist, baffled by the domestic car’s pursuit, faces an S-shaped corner. Lin Yang, however, surprised everyone with a skilled manoeuvre – a sudden brake, a sharp turn, and a powerful acceleration to catch up. The domestic car’s racing-like performance left the onlookers and the motorcyclist dumbfounded.
The domestic car showcased impressive driving skills as the chase continued, leaving the motorcyclist in disbelief. The driver manoeuvres through curves with precision, strategically using brakes, handbrake, and acceleration. The netizens in the live broadcast room went wild, witnessing the unexpected prowess of the domestic car transformed into what seemed like a racing machine.

[Brothers, what did I see? Is this Nima human? This is a beast! Don’t tell me he was a racing driver before! A racing driver came to drive an online car-hailing car. Isn’t this riding a horse to hit other players? I am stupid!!].
[Only in terms of operational difficulty would the average racing driver ever be able to do what he does. You must know that cars are everywhere, and he only drives an ordinary private car. Most racers practice on lanes without obstacles. He can’t drive fast on this kind of road.].
[Actually, it’s not too difficult. Just practice makes perfect, just like I have been an electrician for over 20 years, and I can tell if the wire is powered by stretching out my hand. I’ve never seen what my asshole looks like in my life, but I can pinpoint exactly where it is every time I go to the bathroom.].
[Slap in the face? Who said before that your driving skills are better than his? Come, tell me, do you dare to say this now? I suspect he was flying a plane before, but this is not driving. It is obviously flying close to the ground!].
….
The motorcyclist observed as Lin Yang rapidly closed the gap, causing him to turn pale with fear. His initial confidence had vanished, as he couldn’t fathom a motorcycle outpacing a four-wheeler in the city. Despite his disbelief, a sense of pride compelled him to accelerate again.
While in pursuit, Lin Yang glanced at the young girl beside him, relieved that her previous erratic movements had not caused any harm. Thankfully, her lightweight and secure restraint prevented any potential damage. Surprisingly, she seemed delighted, hinting she could jump if not tightly secured.
Simultaneously, at the monitoring centre of a West Sea Traffic Police Brigade detachment, officers noticed Lin and Yang’s reckless behaviour. The police, monitoring the situation, quickly reported it to Captain Xu, a middle-aged leader.
“Captain, there’s an issue! Two vehicles are engaged in a race in the city,” the officer urgently informed.
Suspecting drag racing, Captain Xu instructed, “Contact nearby officers, have them intervene and make arrests.”
However, the officer wore a sombre expression and insisted, “You should come to the monitoring room and see for yourself.”
Captain Xu followed him to the monitoring room, where he witnessed the motorcycle and the Hongxia car drag racing on video. His complexion shifted drastically upon seeing the alarming speed indicated in the upper right corner—130 yards and more. He gasped at the realisation that this speed exceeded typical high-speed driving and posed a severe threat in the city centre. The open roads only intensified the danger, especially noting the red flag. Multiple times, the single-car body was forcibly halted, emphasising the gravity of the situation.
Whenever there was a slight error, it inevitably led to a severe car accident. Yet, it was peculiar. It was as if he was toting a calculator each time. The distance and body position were meticulously calculated. It appeared perilous, but nothing untoward occured. One must commend and be astounded by such skill. However, just because nothing transpired didn’t mean nothing happened!
After a while, the captain slammed the table indignantly: “Reckless! The speed limit on city roads is 60 mph, and they sped to 130 mph. Are they in a hurry to meet their maker? It doesn’t matter if they wish to risk their lives, but who bears the responsibility if it leads to accidents? Quickly get in touch with the nearby unit and request police assistance.”
The policeman looked astonished, nodding vigorously. “Got it!”
“All units, all units, please take notice! On the section of Chunghwa Avenue in West Sea City, a motorcycle and a Hongxia car engage in illegal racing! According to the road conditions, they’ll reach Erxian Bridge shortly. Please intercept them immediately. Their license plate numbers are…”
Everyone responded, “Received, OVER!”
One minute later, sirens wailed throughout West Sea City. Domineering motorcycles with red and blue flashing lights raced through the streets, gearing up to apprehend near Erxian Bridge.
Meanwhile, the Public Security Bureau brigade was forming an encirclement. Suddenly, they noticed Lin Yang’s mobile phone signal had shifted. The command centre chief grabbed the walkie-talkie and exclaimed, “Attention, the perpetrator left abruptly. The signal moved swiftly. They must be onto something. The kidnapper’s anti-detection awareness surpasses our expectations. We’re dealing with highly professional and crafty criminals this time. It’s a significant challenge for us. Everyone, stay focused. Abandon the original plan. I’ll direct in real time!”
