Wang Hao and Mi Xiu indeed ended up walking for nearly an hour and a half before reaching the roadside.
Mi Xiu, too tired to care about getting dirty, promptly sat down on the curb.
"I can’t do this anymore, I’m dead tired!" Mi Xiu heaved deep breaths while constantly rubbing her legs. "I never thought it would take so long to walk just three kilometers. My feet are killing me!"
"I told you so, didn’t I?" Wang Hao stood by without a hint of redness in his face or shortness of breath. Speaking of which, his physical fitness was honestly beyond reproach. After being transformed by the luck dice, his endurance was so freakishly high he had no equals!
Of course, for every gain, there must be a loss—right now, he just felt hungry, the kind with a gnawing stomach.
After all, with improved physical condition, Little Hao’s energy needs had greatly increased.
"Brother Hao, what do we do now?" Mi Xiu clearly lacked this kind of outdoor experience. After rubbing her legs for a while and feeling much better, she asked while waiting for a car, "Wait for a taxi?"
"Anything’s fine," Wang Hao whipped out his phone and opened the DiDi ride-hailing app: "But I think using DiDi here might be faster. Let me check... Ah, got one, the fastest will arrive in five minutes, perfectly on the way!"
It seemed things were surprisingly smooth.
The five minutes went by in a blink, and soon enough, a BMW 535 drove up.
"Little bro, called a ride?" The driver was a man in his thirties with a gold chain around his neck and a buzz cut, maybe five millimeters long, plump-faced and looking rather presentable.
"Ah, we’re heading to Dog Market, can you take us?" Wang Hao asked with a grin: "It’s not too far, maybe just four or five kilometers."
"Sure thing, hop in!" The driver waved them in generously: "Just happened to drop a friend off home today, might as well take a fare. Otherwise, my car’s not usually for hauling people around."
"It seems we’re pretty lucky," Wang Hao cheerily led Mi Xiu into the car, and after they were seated, he looked around and asked: "Big bro, this is a nice car you’ve got, top model, right?"
"Hey, little bro, you’ve got an eye for detail!" The driver laughed heartily while starting the engine: "2017 BMW 535Li, top model with luxury design package, front-engine rear-wheel drive with an 8-speed Steptronic transmission. It’s about 800,000 yuan on the road, not bad, huh?"
"That’s pretty impressive!" Wang Hao complimented with a smile: "Big bro is awesome!"
"Of course!" The driver perked up at that, becoming a chatterbox: "Guess what I do?" he boasted. "I’m a demolition relocator! I have five houses right here in Jinhua City, and guess how much cash I’ve got on hand!"
A demolition relocator? That was synonymous with wealthy!
"Must be at least twenty million, right?" Wang Hao exclaimed: "Big bro, you’re seriously powerful!"
"More than twenty million?" The driver beamed with pride: "It’s way more than that! Let me tell you, I have over fifty million in cash! Fifty million in cold hard cash! I’m not bragging, but you know those stocks, right? I don’t care how much they fall because I don’t buy ’em! No need! Just let the money sit tight!"
"Right, right," Wang Hao nodded vigorously: "Big bro has guts!"
Mi Xiu quietly giggled on the side—this driver was such a character!
"The only thing that’s unfortunate is that I still haven’t found a partner," the driver lamented while glancing at Mi Xiu through the rearview mirror occasionally: "Pretty girl, are you married yet?"
Mi Xiu stole a glance at Wang Hao before shaking her head: "Married? No way, I don’t even have a partner yet."
"Don’t even have a partner?" The driver grew even more excited: "Look at me, I’ve got a car, houses, and even my own business. I’m my own boss; free as a bird! Nobody tells me what to do, not even heaven!"
Wang Hao: "Turn left on the road up ahead."
The driver: "Got it."
Mi Xiu instantly burst into laughter so hard her stomach hurt—Brother Hao was too funny!
"Hey girl, how come you don’t have a partner?" The driver was clearly very curious about their relationship now: "Why are you heading out to this place in the dark? What’s your relationship with him?"
"Friends, just friends," Wang Hao hurriedly said: "I was helping her handle some things today, and we ended up coming back late."
"Oh, I see," the driver asked while driving: "But be careful in the future, okay? It’s just the two of you in this desolate area. You’re lucky to have met me, otherwise, if you ran into an unlicensed cab, it wouldn’t be safe. Hey, got a phone number? Leave it with me?"
Wang Hao looked at him sideways—what are you up to, trying to ask her out?
Mi Xiu sensed it too and decisively declined: "Better not... Ah, here’s our stop, thanks so much driver!"
"Oh, we’re here, okay," the driver seemed somewhat disappointed, stopping the car and shaking his head, muttering: "Sigh, it’s hard to find a good girl these days..."
As Wang Hao and Mi Xiu got out of the car, the driver pressed the gas pedal hard, driving off in a frustrated mood!
"This brother was into you," Wang Hao winked at Mi Xiu: "A demolition relocator, huh, over fifty million in cash, and a BMW 535 top model!"
"You’re such a tease!" Mi Xiu huffed: "Like I’m the type of girl who cares about that kind of stuff!"
"Alright, alright," Wang Hao chuckled as he opened the car door: "Mi Xiu’s the best, a good girl, happy now?"
Mi Xiu turned her head smugly: "Now you’re talking!"
After dropping Mi Xiu off at home, it was already around nine o’clock when Wang Hao got back to the hotel.
Oh, what a day! Time to lie down and check the phone!
He was only casually browsing, but soon was utterly captivated by a trending topic on Weibo!
The original poster of the tweet wasn’t some big-time influencer, but the content was intriguing—
"Today, I lost to a Wuling Hongguang on Jin Ming Mountain. It took the corner with an inertia drift, sticking close to the inner lane. It was fast; all I saw was a repair advertisement for fixing leaks on its body. If anyone knows who he is, please tell him, this Saturday night, I’ll be waiting for him on Jin Ming Mountain!"
Normally this wouldn’t count for much, just an interesting tweet. The kicker was that this tweet had been retweeted. And, astonishingly, Jinhua City Traffic Police had done the retweeting!
In addition to retweeting the post, Jinhua City Traffic Police had also provided an image!
On that image was the footage from a road camera, and the figures on it could blind anyone’s eyes!
Jinhua City Traffic Police: "Buddy, you’re not wronged in your loss, because under our high-speed cameras we could only vaguely make out the Wuling Hongguang’s badge! At the time, the car’s speed was 518KM/H, a speeding rate of 331%!"
Holy shit, whose car is this badass?!
Wang Hao burst into laughter when he saw the image, but as he inspected it closer, he suddenly realized something was amiss.
Wait a minute, doesn’t the person in that car look familiar?
Wasn’t that the very Wuling Hongguang he was driving today?! The unstoppable hero sitting inside, that cool and irresistible figure, wasn’t that none other than me?!
