Chapter 390 - Taking Zhao Tianya for a High-Speed Drive
Chapter 390 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" starts with dramatic events: Zhao Tianya saw that Ye Fan was still speeding up as they left the city... Discover what happens!
Zhao Tianya saw that Ye Fan was still speeding up as they left the city center and couldnât help but ask, âWhere to?â
âLongwan Mountain,â Ye Fan replied with a faint smile.
âAh!
Thatâs the haunt of the Hua Hai cityâs racing gangs.
Iâve heard that the roads on Longwan Mountain are very dangerous,â Zhao Tianya exclaimed, sitting up straight in protest.
Ye Fan chuckled.
âScared?â
âPfft, Iâve never been scared,â Zhao Tianya retorted with feigned disdain, âEven if we were to crash off a cliff, it wouldnât be so bad with you by my side.â
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Longwan Mountain.
Although Longwan Mountain was considered sacred ground for racers, since it wasnât dark yet, the racers of Hua Hai city hadnât gathered.
Of course, thatâs not to say there wasnât anyone there at all; just a few cars parked quietly, with some people standing by talking.
When they saw a brand new Volkswagen sedan speeding toward them, they expected the car to slow down, but to their surprise, it didnât decrease its speed at all and drove straight onto the Longwan Mountain road.
âDamn!
Not slowing down at all, another idiot looking for death!â those few cursed as they watched the new Volkswagenâs tail lights disappear in the distance.
Zhao Tianya never imagined that Ye Fan wouldnât slow down as he entered the Longwan Mountain stretch.
After facing the sheer cliffs repeatedly, she couldnât help but let out piercing screams.
However, Ye Fan had no intentions of slowing down, speeding all the way.
Zhao Tianyaâs screams were incessant.
Ten minutes later, after they had driven through the Longwan Mountain section, Ye Fan stopped the car.
Zhao Tianyaâs voice was hoarse from screaming; she slumped in her seat, gasping for breath.
âYou okay?â Ye Fan asked with a smile.
âHissâhuffâhelp, helpâŚhissâhuffâhelp me out of the carâŚâ Zhao Tianya called out weakly.
Seeing Zhao Tianya in distress, Ye Fan quickly got out of the car and then helped Zhao Tianya out to get some air.
Zhao Tianya was limp all over, unable to stand steadily, and fell forward onto Ye Fan, who had to hold her.
After about three or four minutes, Zhao Tianya finally caught her breath a bit and regained some strength, but she didnât immediately pull away from Ye Fanâs embrace, instead pretending to be weak and continuing to cling to his chest.
About eight or nine minutes passed before Ye Fan asked, âTianya, are you feeling better now?â
âUh, a bit,â she replied vaguely, forcing herself to stand up straight.
Ye Fan said, a bit exasperated, âI didnât think you were so afraid of racing.â
Zhao Tianyaâs cheeks flushed with embarrassment and irritation, âWho knew youâd be so crazy to drive that fast on such a dangerous road.
Youâre more rash than the racers!â
Ye Fan laughed heartily and glanced at the sky; it was beginning to darken.
So, he suggested, âTianya, letâs head back.
Itâs getting dark.â
Zhao Tianya couldnât hide her apprehension and didnât respond.
âHeh, donât worry; I promise to drive as slow as a turtle,â Ye Fan reassured her with a grin.
âYou sure?â Zhao Tianya asked skeptically, âIf you dare to speed, Iâll never talk to you again!â
They got back into the car, and Ye Fan started the vehicle to return.
Ye Fan didnât lie to Zhao Tianya; indeed, he drove very slowly, which gradually calmed her down.
After they left the Longwan Mountain section, Zhao Tianya finally breathed a sigh of relief and curiously asked, âYe Fan, did you used to race here often?
Your driving is very impressive.â
âHeh, no.
This is only my second time at Longwan Mountain,â Ye Fan answered with a light smile.
Zhao Tianya let out a sigh of relief, âThatâs good, otherwise Iâd regret giving you this car.
Donât ever come here to race again in the future; itâs too dangerous.â
âI know.
Iâm not into racing myself,â Ye Fan replied.
Having returned to the city, they found a five-star hotel and Ye Fan joined Zhao Tianya for a lavish dinner.
At eight oâclock, as their meal was nearing its end and Zhao Tianya was contemplating where to go with Ye Fan next, his phone rang suddenly.
âYe Fan, where are you?
Iâve been targeted by those people from the nightclub last night,â Hu Jingâs somewhat anxious voice came over the phone, âSomehow they found my number.
They just called me, asking me to meet them at the nightclub from last night.â
Ye Fanâs brows furrowed, âReally?
Report it to the police for now; Iâll meet up with you immediately and then weâll confront those arrogant fools.â
âBut they said among their elders are district secretaries, deputy heads of the police bureau, etc., claiming that reporting to the police would be useless and might even result in more serious consequences,â Hu Jing explained.
However, she wasnât afraid.
She knew Ye Fan had significant influence, having easily handled Long Aotian from the capitalâs prominent Long family; a few officialsâ children, not very high-ranking, didnât seem like they would pose a problem to Ye Fan.
âAlright.
Iâll meet up with you first.
Letâs meet outside Dingsheng International Hotel,â Ye Fan said.
He felt a surge of anger within himself; this sort of brazenness was too much.
After hanging up, Ye Fan apologetically said to Zhao Tianya, âTianya, Iâve run into a bit of a problem that I need to handle personally.â
âIs it serious?
Do you need my help?â Zhao Tianya immediately offered, concerned, âIâll accompany you.â
âItâs not too serious.
When I need your help, Iâll give you a call,â Ye Fan assured her.
âOkay,â Zhao Tianya said, a bit disappointed.
âCall me after youâve dealt with it.â
With a nod, Ye Fan left the restaurant.
Since the location where he dined with Zhao Tianya was also within the vicinity of the hotel, it didnât take long for Ye Fan to drive to Dingsheng International Hotel and meet Hu Jing.
Seeing Hu Jing calm and composed, Ye Fan didnât offer any platitudes but instead asked about the specifics of the situation.
After hearing the details of Hu Jingâs threat, Ye Fan really started to get angry.
He decided not to report to the police first and instead deal with the bullies himself with a good beating.
Calling the police in advance, given that theyâd only made threatening calls, would likely result in the police merely issuing a mild warning with no real consequences.
âYe Fan, Iâm sorry to have brought trouble your way,â Hu Jing said.
âI shouldnât have gone to the club last night.â
âHeh, itâs a small matter, not a big deal,â Ye Fan replied indifferently.
âGet in my car, and letâs go see just how arrogant they can be.â
Hu Jing nodded without fear and got straight into Ye Fanâs car.
On the way to the club from the previous night, Hu Jing even found the time to ask Ye Fan about the new car.
Sixteen or seventeen minutes later, Ye Fan drove to the club known as Okai from last night.
Stepping out of the car, Ye Fan and Hu Jing entered the club together.
Once inside, Hu Jing immediately grasped Ye Fanâs left arm tightly and said, âThey told me theyâre on the second floor, at the table in the middle by the railing.â
Looking up, Ye Fan indeed saw a few self-important young men seated at the middle table by the edge of the second floor, looking down on everything below.
