Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 25 Life or death
In the early hours of the morning, heavy rain poured down at the designated transaction site: the Dingshan overpass on the highway.

The two cars sped past under the bridge one after the other. The uneven, muddy road, and the mud splashing onto both sides of the road, all hinted that the real show was yet to come!
Just as they sped past the overpass, the red taillights that had disappeared from view reappeared before Chen Shu's eyes. At that moment, he was somewhat glad for his decisiveness and even more determined to pursue the kidnappers.

They're terrified, and the three have scattered, so the chances of catching one are high! A cornered dog will jump over a wall, a cornered rabbit will bite. Risk and opportunity go hand in hand!

"Bang bang bang!" The windshield wipers swished fiercely against the glass, as if trying to carve a road through the dark night.

Chen Shu gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the red taillights ahead, completely ignoring the rim of the blown-out tire screeching under the car.

As night continued, as soon as the vehicle left the muddy road and entered a slightly flatter road, he stepped on the gas without hesitation.

The tachometer needle inside the car plunged into the red zone, and the engine speed was revved up to over 7,000 RPM, while the surrounding scenery flashed past the car window like a slideshow.

The mountain road was full of potholes, and with the rain, Chen Shu's visibility was completely obstructed, which had a significant impact. In addition, after the tire blew out, the tire's turning radius became smaller, making it extremely difficult to control the vehicle's balance.

In order to catch up with the kidnappers, he had to step on the gas pedal as hard as he could again and again. Sometimes, when he turned a corner, he could see the car tilting and about to overturn, but he always managed to hold on by the narrowest of times.

One time might be skill, two times might be luck, but this kind of suffocating persistence, constantly testing the edge of control, is awe-inspiring.

Therefore, the pressure was put on the kidnappers.

"Madman! Madman! Madman!"

Old Wang muttered to himself in the car, a deep sense of powerlessness washing over him. As someone who held an A-class driver's license and had spent years traversing roads of all sizes and conditions across the country, he had never hated his driving skills as much as he did now.

No matter how he darted east or west, or turned left or right, the swaying white light from the car behind him remained firmly fixed on his rearview mirror, never receding an inch, but rather growing brighter, subtly oppressing him.

As an experienced driver, he could feel the abruptness of the car behind him when turning, and he could see the jerkiness when the car behind him went over a pothole. But, for some reason, he just couldn't shake it off!

This guy, he wants to risk his life?!
Thinking of this, Lao Wang's fingertips gripping the steering wheel trembled slightly, and his right foot on the accelerator began to shake involuntarily.

As he sped past the overpass, he heard a loud bang from behind and could vaguely see the headlights of the car behind him swerving wildly in his rearview mirror.

At that moment, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally escaped this predicament, and his mind raced.

The hostage was left on the roadside, an accomplice was left under the bridge, and the other party's car was also damaged. No matter how you look at it, the police wouldn't come after you first!
But man proposes, God disposes. To this day, he still doesn't understand why that policeman followed him!
"If we don't shake off this dog behind us, we'll be constantly chased and eventually surrounded by other police officers! It's just a matter of whether we die sooner or later!"

Old Wang angrily slammed his fist on the steering wheel, causing the car to veer off course. The Camry, already bouncing along the bumpy road, almost rolled into a ditch.

"No, it's either you die or I die!"

The sudden, derailed chariot finally hardened his heart. A cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, spitting out each word one by one.

Without a doubt, Old Wang was risking his life, prepared to fight his way out of this life-or-death situation. After making a small left turn onto the main road, he finally began to press the accelerator with all his might, as if he were putting all the strength of his life into his right foot at this moment.

The darkest hour before dawn enveloped the entire road. Old Wang, who had scouted the area beforehand, knew that there was a sharp 90-degree turn about 500 or 600 meters ahead, with a deep ravine below. Cars traveling at high speed would fall off from there, and the drivers would barely survive.

He also did not intend to slow down in advance to take the corner, and his speed was approaching 80 km/h.

This was in the middle of the night, on a dark and muddy mountain road!
"Either you die or I die."

Facing life and death, Old Wang surprisingly regained his composure and murmured softly for the second time.

When Chen Shu saw the car in front of him suddenly fishtail and almost go off the muddy road, his heart nearly jumped into his throat! He thought his prey was within his grasp, but unfortunately, the car in front returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

Chen Shu chuckled at his own naiveté; he couldn't possibly have that much luck.

After a period of pursuit, he had come to realize that the kidnappers' driving skills were far superior to his own.

If it weren't for the advantage of striking suddenly before the kidnappers could react, and the fact that the modifications to his vehicle far surpassed theirs, the kidnappers would have already made their escape, and they would have been as steady as a mountain.

Chen Shu narrowed his eyes, his pupils filled with a dangerous aura, and his mind was filled with dangerous plans.

A car that relies on its rims to move cannot sustain itself for long. If this stalemate continues, the kidnappers will eventually escape!
Furthermore, the mountain roads have too many turns in the muddy terrain, and a Golf with a flat tire could easily overturn! The consequences of a rollover in a ditch would be unimaginable! Luck can only last so long!

The only chance now is to take the next road where we can sprint, and rely on the superior performance of the modified Volkswagen Golf to make a decisive shot and decide the outcome. There is no other possibility.

Chen Shu frowned, his eyes sharp, having already made a decision at this opportune moment.

He gripped the steering wheel firmly with his left hand and reached for the transparent plastic cover under the center console with his free right hand. The red button inside the cover looked tempting, like a poison that could quench thirst.

At this moment, the hissing sound from the wheels of the Volkswagen Golf grew louder and louder, and the vibration of the car body became more and more intense.

Chen Shu knew that the car's condition no longer allowed him to continue his reckless behavior.

He habitually stuck out his tongue and licked his lips to calm himself down, then smoothly opened the transparent plastic cover on the nitrous oxide acceleration system start button with his right hand, and then placed his right hand on the red button.

He was prepared to accelerate and sprint at the next turn, without hesitation.

After making the decision, Chen Shu actually slowed down slightly, increasing the distance between himself and the car in front. He tilted his head slightly to the left, looking beyond the car in front at the road further ahead.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if even God was waiting for the ending.
