chapter 20 See Evelyn Zhao again

"Wow, good job!" Tyler Luo also admired it a bit. The woman in the Porsche, although young, had impressive skills. Of course, compared to someone like Tyler Luo, she still fell short. After all, he once managed to shake off more than ten sports cars with just a nearly scrapped Volkswagen, and not just once. Compared to that time, the current Porsche didn’t pique Tyler Luo's interest much, but the female driver inside did make him want to teach her a lesson. Speaking of street racing, while many people first think of the car's performance, it is indeed crucial. If it’s an unobstructed straight road, no matter how great your driving skills are, driving a van, you can’t beat a sports car. But now it’s different. There are more turns on the road, and the traffic is denser. Even if you drive a supercar comparable to a maglev train, you still have to slow down after reaching 100 kilometers per hour. In this situation, skill is what matters most. Moreover, Tyler Luo looked up at both sides of the highway and turned on the navigation. He wasn’t looking to use the navigation to check the map, but to find some surveillance points nearby. He didn’t want to face a police ticket after street racing. However, the Porsche ahead clearly didn’t have such concerns. After overtaking Tyler Luo's Audi, it sped up again. "You little girl, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know how high the sky is." Tyler Luo smiled and also started to speed up. Thanks to the stability of the cushion on the back seat, his driving skills were quite good, and the sleeping Avery Xu was still unaware. In the leading Porsche, Grace Zhao had a triumphant look on her face, her expression cute. However, who would have known that such a sweet-looking girl would enjoy street racing? And just now, overtaking an ordinary Audi with the Porsche's performance had made her so proud. However, Grace Zhao's pride didn't last long. When she was blocked by other vehicles ahead, a shadow swiftly passed her from behind. Yes, it just drifted past! By the time Grace Zhao realized it, she was astonished to see that the beaten-up Audi she had just left behind had actually overtaken her. And, what was infuriating was that the guy even stuck his hand out of the window, even flipping a middle finger. A blatant provocation! Grace Zhao's face froze, she stepped on the gas and sped up. This scared the nearby cars, each quickly making way. Who would dare block the way of a Porsche rushing past? But Grace Zhao was annoyed because more and more cars appeared, and no matter how much she wanted to speed up, she had to stop. However, the Audi in front was darting left and right in the traffic, squeezing through gaps between cars with incredible skill, leaving Grace Zhao stunned. But by the time Grace Zhao reacted, there was no trace of the Audi, just an endless line of cars. "Whoo-whoo" Just when Grace Zhao was about to speed up again, she heard the sound of police sirens from behind, and cars were blocking her way ahead. Eventually, Grace Zhao had to pull over. "Turn off the engine, and show your ID and driver's license." The police officer looked at Grace Zhao, surprised, thinking she was underage. However, he was surprised to see that she was actually twenty years old upon checking her ID. "Miss Zhao, speeding is very dangerous. Do you realize that?" The police officer seemed prepared to give her a lecture. Grace Zhao was defiant: "It's not just me speeding. That Audi just now was too, even faster than me!" "Audi?" The officer looked clueless. Grace Zhao insisted: "Quickly check the surveillance. I was chasing that Audi. If I was speeding, so was he!" "No matter what others do, if they break the rules, they will be punished. It’s not your place to point fingers." "Colin Zhao is my uncle!" Grace Zhao suddenly said. The officer was startled, clearly surprised. Colin Zhao might not mean much to others, but to their police system, everyone knew him. As the head of the traffic police, Colin Zhao’s reputation for integrity was well-known. Although the officer doubted whether this Grace Zhao was lying, he couldn’t take the risk. She was a Zhao, and mentioning Colin Zhao upfront meant it was better to be safe than sorry. He was just a regular traffic officer and couldn’t afford to offend such a big shot. Under Grace Zhao's persistent demands, he had no choice but to check the surveillance. But Grace Zhao was shocked by the results: "Impossible, this can't be! Why didn't it capture it? That car was definitely speeding, I saw it with my own eyes." "What you saw doesn’t matter, we only trust what the cameras capture." The officer had to say, from the photos, it seemed the Audi was likely speeding. But every critical shot was blocked by other vehicles, so the photos weren’t enough to prove any wrongdoing. "Darn it!" Grace Zhao noted down the Audi’s license plate. I'll find you and make you pay, hmph. As for Tyler Luo, he had no idea he had just angered a young lady. He drove the Audi off the ring road and took Avery Xu back to her company. "It's only noon, do you want to have lunch together?" Avery Xu yawned, feeling somewhat satisfied though tired from successfully handling the factory issue, thanks to Tyler Luo’s significant contribution. But Tyler Luo shook his head: "Driving like that is too tiring. Can I rest this afternoon and go back to work tomorrow?" "Sure, you can take the car," Avery Xu nodded. "Then I won’t be polite." Tyler Luo smiled. Driving was much better than taking public transport, wasn't it? After watching Avery Xu leave, Tyler Luo drove off. Holding a document, Avery Xu was in a good mood, though a bit tired. As she entered Baihua Technology, she saw a familiar figure, "Ella Luo, you're still so dedicated, haven't you had lunch yet?" "Still recruiting, thanks for handling the factory." Ella Luo smiled, having heard most of the details over the phone, she knew the factory issue was resolved. But Avery Xu stopped in front of Ella Luo, looking curiously at her delicate face. This made Ella Luo a bit uncomfortable: "What are you doing?" "Nothing, just felt you look a bit different from yesterday." Avery Xu touched her chin, feeling there was some truth to it, "You seem to have more feminine charm?" "So you’re saying I didn’t have feminine charm before?" Ella Luo rolled her eyes. But Avery Xu suddenly exclaimed: "Don't tell me you've got a man now? Your eyes are sparkling, the mark of a woman in love." "Stop it, what nonsense!" Ella Luo’s heart skipped a beat, but she playfully retorted, "Enough of that, let's have lunch." "Are you paying or am I?" Avery Xu immediately laughed. "I'll pay, okay?" Ella Luo rolled her eyes again and walked back to her office, not standing in front of Avery Xu anymore. But behind her, Avery Xu's voice followed: "But I really do feel like you've got a man." "Alright, enough. I’m starving." Ella Luo waved her off, quickly pulling her out. Yet her heart was unsettled, remembering last night's madness. She couldn't calm down. Last night at the bar, she met a man and then somehow ended up at a hotel with him. Well, it's already done, and Ella Luo was the kind of woman who could let go. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have started a company with Avery Xu. It’s just a pity that her first time went like that. She didn’t even know the man's name, and they probably wouldn’t meet again in this vast world. "Ah-choo!" Driving the Audi, Tyler Luo suddenly sneezed, "Another girl thinking about me?" He parked the car by the roadside, rubbed his nose, and walked into a restaurant to buy a boxed lunch. But just as he got back in the car, someone opened the rear door and got in. This surprised Tyler Luo. He turned around to see. "Driver, please go to Olympic Sports Park, and hurry." The woman who spoke seemed to have run over, still panting. Her mature and attractive figure was wrapped in a long dress. As she lifted her head, Tyler Luo saw her face clearly. It was her! Tyler Luo's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm: "Miss, you might be mistaken, this isn’t a taxi." "It’s less than ten kilometers to Olympic Sports Park from here, I’ll give you a hundred!" The woman was straightforward, taking out a hundred-yuan note. Tyler Luo was stunned: "Miss, I’m really not" "Two hundred, is that enough?" The woman offered another hundred. Only then did she look up at the driver. Wait, why does he look familiar? "Have I seen you somewhere before?" Evelyn Zhao was puzzled looking at Tyler Luo. But Tyler Luo just smiled: "Maybe because I’m very handsome?" His cheeky comment almost made Evelyn Zhao throw the money in his face. But she was in a hurry to get to Olympic Sports Park and couldn’t find a taxi. "Three hundred, Olympic Sports Park, will you go?" Not dwelling on this, for Evelyn Zhao, time was money. Tyler Luo was silent for a moment, then smilingly accepted the three hundred, "Fine, can’t pass up easy money."
