Chapter 68: Unreasonable

The people inside the Nissan were so stunned that they didn’t react for quite a while. By the time they did, Yang Changfeng had already stepped out of the car and kicked the shattered camera into the roadside sewer. Of course, the memory card was pocketed by Yang Changfeng.

“You—you must have a death wish!” Ma Siwei, still shaken, lunged at Yang Changfeng as he started driving again, scratching and hitting him, her voice distorted with fear. Clearly, she’d been frightened out of her wits and wouldn’t recover any time soon.

Yang Changfeng said, “Some people want to say, ‘Look, he’s reckless.’ I want to show them that you’re actually very afraid of dying—over such a small matter.”

Ma Siwei had no words to reply.

As she saw the Nissan catch up with its two passengers and follow them again, Ma Siwei sighed helplessly. “So tell me, what do we do next?”

“Simple.” Yang Changfeng turned at the next intersection, grinning smugly. “I bet there are more people blocking the way ahead. Let them wait. Now, it’s time to enjoy the beauty of speed.”

With Ma Siwei screaming, the Audi suddenly sped up to one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour. The traffic on Riverside Road was sparse at this hour, and though the Audi had only dashed about three hundred meters before slowing back down to sixty, it was enough to catch everyone off guard.

Ma Siwei was shaken so violently by the sudden acceleration and deceleration that she felt as if she might fall apart. This man was truly a handful!

The people in the Nissan were terrified by that wild burst of speed. This was Riverside Road, not a racetrack. If you’re so bold, try hitting three hundred and see what happens!

“Keep chasing! We must get pictures at the entrance of the Jiangwan campus. This time, we have to ruin Ma Siwei’s reputation. That woman’s ten million must go to our studio!” The bearded driver’s eyes were nearly bloodshot.

Who was this driver? So cunning—he even knew how to play tricks and mislead pursuers.

The woman who’d gotten into the car was overweight, in her late twenties or early thirties, with a face full of coarse features despite being female.

She was the famous Red Sister of Jiangzhou, and that was no empty boast. Among all the paparazzi teams in Jiangzhou, her studio was the most relentless. As long as you paid enough, they could dig up dirt on any celebrity.

But Ma Siwei was just too difficult. They’d been trailing her for over three months and hadn’t found a single piece of negative material. How were they supposed to claim that ten million?

The other woman wanted to disgrace Ma Siwei, and Red Sister knew it was all about competition. As one of the rising stars, the woman was walking on thin ice, afraid Ma Siwei would surpass her. That was one reason.

Another reason was that the young girls signed to the woman’s studio also wanted to rise to fame. If the current stars weren’t toppled, how could the newcomers ever break through?

The battle was never just a noisy argument online. The fights between female celebrities made the drama in books pale in comparison.

But for the paparazzi, it didn’t matter. They only cared about the money.

Chasing celebrities? Nonsense. If you don’t pay, who would bother with you? They weren’t fools.

Yang Changfeng drove with bursts of speed and slowdowns, making Ma Siwei suffer.

“What are you doing all this for?!” she demanded angrily.

Yang Changfeng looked at her as if she were an idiot. “If you don’t know how to deal with people, why bother fighting with your rivals? That Nissan—aren’t they always saying how reliable Japanese cars are? Well, let’s see if I can break it apart for you. Just wait, I’ll help you vent your anger.”

Ma Siwei was taken aback, then burst out laughing.

You really are a piece of work!

The Audi was well maintained, while the Nissan was nearly ready for the scrap yard. Using an Audi to wreck a Nissan?

It was like a superstar bullying a newcomer.

But it made her feel better. Yes, let’s mess with those paparazzi!

They wanted to dig up dirt on her? She’d show them—write whatever you want, who’s afraid of whom!

For a moment, Ma Siwei was full of courage. She had originally intended to avoid competing with a certain veteran actress, but since the woman was so persistent, fine—let’s kick her off the roster of leading ladies.

If you want to keep your position, let your work speak for itself. Why resort to such despicable tactics?

If your studio’s artists want to rise, that’s fine. If their work is outstanding, I’ll step aside myself—you don’t need to push me out. But since you’re forcing my hand, don’t blame me for fighting back. If you want to expose dirt, I can do the same to you.

Let the battle begin—the mutual mudslinging starts tonight!

Ma Siwei was filled with fighting spirit.

She even took out her phone and tagged a certain leading lady on social media, writing only, “You’re doing pretty well, aren’t you?”

The internet exploded instantly.

Two rising stars were finally going to battle. The drama was about to begin.

But the three paparazzi were in tears.

If they dared not stick close to the Audi, if they let it speed away—even if they were caught for traffic violations—the Audi’s superior condition would let it vanish in the blink of an eye. That bold driver would take the fall, and Ma Siwei would be uninvolved.

But if they wanted to keep up, their car had to handle it.

After just a few bursts, the Nissan was already creaking and groaning, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

“What do we do?” the bearded driver was growing anxious.

Red Sister barked, “Don’t be afraid of ruining the car. Earn this money, and you can buy any car you like! Keep chasing—stick close, don’t let them get away for a second!”

Yang Changfeng, with his keen perception, easily evaded surveillance cameras, suddenly speeding up and then slowing down. The Audi moved steadily forward, and in the rearview mirror, the Nissan was already starting to smoke.

But Jiangwan Garden was almost in sight.

They would make it.

“Come on, I’m not worried about you keeping up.” Yang Changfeng grinned fiercely, accelerating again as if about to race past the Jiangwan Garden gates.

The Nissan panicked. The bearded driver floored the accelerator, and the car shot forward, blocking the Audi’s path.

That’s just what he wanted!

Yang Changfeng pushed the pedal to the floor, his eyes already on the luxurious gates of Jiangwan Garden.

The Nissan, convinced the Audi was about to charge past, hurried to accelerate again. At that moment, Yang Changfeng suddenly spun the steering wheel, swerving the Audi into the Nissan. The Nissan was caught off guard and began to wobble wildly.

Less than fifty meters from the entrance of Jiangwan Garden, the Audi stopped abruptly. The Nissan couldn’t brake in time, swaying violently before crashing into a roadside concrete post. The passengers, jolted by the erratic movements, bounced around inside the car for dozens of times, their heads spinning and vision blurring. None of them climbed out for quite a while.

Yang Changfeng drove up calmly. Under Ma Siwei’s astonished gaze, he retrieved a fire axe from the trunk, smashed the driver’s window, grabbed the bearded man by the collar and dragged him out. He snatched the camera, slapped him repeatedly, and the man, true to form, was the first to complain: “What kind of driving is that? Attempted murder? Damn it, a law-abiding society saved you—otherwise I’d chop your damn head off today!”

Was there really someone so outrageous in this world?
