I rely on unlimited life extension
Chapter 74 Run Away, Taxi
Cheng Yi forced a stiff smile, a smile full of disappointment and anger: "To be honest, your acting is absolutely terrible. I really want to give you a good spanking. I kindly saved you guys, and what do you do? You actually scheme against me?"
"Stop putting on this sisterly show in front of me! Isn't it just reverse psychology and moral blackmail? If you want me to help you escape, can't you just say so? What's the point of all this acting?"
Resha hurriedly defended Yangmi: "Big brother, Sister Mi isn't what you think..."
Cheng Yi rudely interrupted her: "What do you know! Your sister Mi might secretly wish you would go and accompany that man in her place, do you believe it or not?"
This is the principle of "better to die for your friend than for yourself," don't you understand that? There are no true sisters in the entertainment industry. Even I, an outsider, can see that clearly, how can you not understand? You're really stupid!
Cheng Yi became increasingly angry as he spoke, slamming his hand hard on the steering wheel with a loud "bang," as if to vent his anger. "I just want to ask you, what kind of life have you been living all these years? Have all the people around you been scheming against you?"
No wonder you don't dare call home. If my daughter turned out like you, I'd rather beat her to death than see her fall into such a state.
His eyes were filled with disgust for this kind of life and disappointment in Yangmi and Resha.
At this moment, the entire taxi was deathly silent, with only Cheng Yi's angry roar echoing in the small space.
After a while, the roar gradually subsided, and the car returned to silence.
Yang Mi broke the somewhat oppressive silence first. Her voice was exceptionally gentle, yet it contained a hint of undisguised guilt: "I'm sorry, brother. I was just being presumptuous and judging you by my own standards. I'm really sorry."
I know I shouldn't take advantage of your sympathy to scheme against you, but after so many years of navigating this complex world, this kind of scheming has unknowingly become an indispensable part of my life, like an instinct.
In this industry where truth and falsehood are hard to distinguish, I don't trust anyone except Hotsa, not even my own manager and assistant. I know I'm living a very tiring life.
As she spoke, Yang Mi made an unexpected move.
She leaned her head towards Cheng Yi without hesitation, her eyes sparkling with a hint of playfulness and full of sincerity: "How about this, I'll let you kiss me, as an apology to you, okay?"
She looked like a clever and adorable little girl who had done something wrong, trying to make up for her mistake in a special way.
Cheng Yi looked disgusted and quickly turned his head to the side as if avoiding a plague, saying irritably, "Get lost, you smell too much like a sleazy person, I can't stand it."
Upon hearing Cheng Yi's words, Yang Mi was not angry at all. Instead, she burst into laughter, her clear and melodious laughter echoing in the car like silver bells.
As if struck by a sudden thought, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She tilted her head and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel like I know you a little. It's a strange feeling, like we've met somewhere before. Do you feel the same way?"
As she spoke, she carefully examined Cheng Yi, trying to find some familiar clues on his face.
Cheng Yi didn't respond to Yang Mi's previous words, but changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I have a question I'd like to ask you. What exactly made you decide to plunge headfirst into the entertainment industry and become a star?"
Yang Mi was stunned for a moment. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of reminiscence, and after a moment she slowly said, "At the very beginning, I had a small expectation in my heart."
I long for the person I haven't seen in so long to see me on TV or in a movie.
I just hope that if he can see me, he might be able to recognize me.
Then, maybe he'll come looking for me.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying with a hint of teasing, "So many 'possibilities,' huh? Judging from this, it's probably not very likely. Sigh, to be honest, I originally thought you entered the entertainment industry simply to make money."
Yang Mi smiled gently, a hint of wistfulness in her smile: "Making money is certainly one of the reasons. But I think the most important thing is that I'm just someone who can't stand being alone."
In the entertainment industry, at least there's all sorts of excitement, keeping me constantly in that vibrant atmosphere.
Hot Sand, blinking its big eyes, cautiously asked, "Big brother, you're not angry with us anymore, are you? Look, you've helped us so much, but we still don't know who you are."
Could you please tell us your name? I've never owed anyone such a huge favor in my entire life.
Cheng glanced at her sideways, a faint smile playing on his lips, but his tone was somewhat mocking: "What? You want to repay me with your body too? If you want to repay a debt of gratitude, go to the back and line up. Don't bother me."
Hearing this, Resha was not angry at all. Instead, he chuckled and revealed two cute tiger teeth: "Big brother, I find it really enjoyable to talk to you. I don't have to hide anything from you. It feels so good."
"Brother, if we really manage to escape this time, you can stay by my side as my driver and assistant. I promise I'll take good care of you."
Just then, the taxi suddenly braked and came to a stop.
Cheng Yi frowned, looked ahead, and said, "There's a traffic jam up ahead."
Yang Mi seemed to be electrocuted, and she stood up abruptly, leaning forward with her eyes fixed on the endless line of vehicles ahead. Her face turned deathly pale, and she said urgently, "Oh no! We have to get out of here right now. They must be setting up a checkpoint to check the people in the passing vehicles!"
Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with terror.
Just then, the system prompted: "Punisher, please prepare for battle. There are thirty-two gang members ahead who are searching for your whereabouts."
"Oh my god!" Cheng cursed under his breath, instantly realizing what was happening. He slammed on the engine, quickly made a U-turn, and shouted, "Quickly, show me a safe way out!"
The two women stared at him blankly, wondering who he was talking to.
The system then displayed the message: "The system has automatically selected a safe route for you. Automatic navigation is starting. Please pay attention to the route instructions."
The taxi, like a bull in the congested traffic, suddenly reversed, and with a loud bang, it knocked the car behind it back more than a meter.
Then, Cheng Yi jerked the steering wheel, and the taxi made a clean 90-degree turn. Immediately afterward, he floored the accelerator and sped across the road like an arrow.
Before anyone could react, the car suddenly changed direction, accelerated again, and sped out of the dense traffic, disappearing from the scene at breakneck speed.
Cheng Yi, sitting in the car, looked serious and said in a deep voice, "Sit still, everyone fasten your seatbelts right now!"
Upon hearing this, the two women behind immediately did as instructed.
Yang Mi quickly said, "Don't worry about us, just focus on driving. We can take care of ourselves."
Cheng Yi did not respond. At this moment, he was completely focused, using his mind to drive the vehicle to accelerate, and the taxi sped away according to the route planned by the automatic navigation.
However, not long after, the system issued another prompt: "The navigation route has been interfered with by gang members. It is estimated that forty people will arrive at the intersection ahead to intercept the Punisher. Do you want to change lanes?"
"Nonsense, are we supposed to just wait here to get caught if we don't change course?" Cheng Yi muttered irritably.
Immediately, the system notification sounded again: "Automatic navigation is changing the route. To avoid disturbing the punisher's driving, we will not notify you again if the route needs to be changed next time. Please be aware."
In an instant, the taxi, like a runaway prehistoric beast, suddenly broke free from the congested traffic once again.
Completely disregarding its surroundings, it swept across the two streets like a swift bolt of lightning.
During this high-speed journey, it seemed to ignore all obstacles.
The lush lawn, which should have been a tranquil green oasis in the city, was now mercilessly trampled by a taxi, with blades of grass flying and dirt splattering everywhere, as if it were emitting a painful wail.
And those neat rows of bushes, which usually add a touch of life and shade to the street, couldn't stop the taxi's reckless pace. They were knocked around and the sound of breaking branches was particularly jarring in the noise.
Even the solid cement steps, which are supposed to be safe passageways for pedestrians, and the street lampposts that stand by the street, which have always been guardians illuminating the road at night, were all "defeated" by the taxi's reckless collision.
With a series of dull thuds, the cement steps were smashed into pieces, and the lampposts swayed precariously, some even falling to the ground with a loud crash.
And so, the taxi drove recklessly, creating a chaotic scene of car accidents before finally arriving at another street.
But it didn't stop there. Instead, like a runaway horse, it continued to speed away, leaving behind only a chaotic and devastated scene, as if telling the story of the thrilling "escape" that had just taken place.
System prompt: Do you want to consume system energy to repair your mount?
It must be repaired.
System notification: 1 point of system energy has been consumed to repair the mount.
The taxi was like a trapped beast that had lost its way in a maze, weaving left and right through the city's roads.
Despite several detours, the long line of cars remained like an impenetrable net, trapping it and preventing it from escaping the blockade.
Despite the system's automatic navigation and driving capabilities, after more than half an hour and numerous attempts, they still hadn't broken through the gang's blockade. Each time, the system would alert them to dozens of gang members driving over a dozen vehicles, leaving Cheng Yi feeling utterly overwhelmed.
Cheng Yi frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety, and he kept glancing at the rearview mirror. He saw that the two women in the back seat also looked very serious.
Yang Mi's lips were pressed tightly together, and her usually gentle eyes twitched slightly with worry. Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes. Re Sha bit her lip, her face slightly pale, and her eyes were fixed on the window, trying to find a gap in the motionless traffic, a glimmer of hope that could help them escape their predicament.
The air inside the car seemed to freeze, with only the incessant honking of horns relentlessly proclaiming their helplessness.
System notification: Punisher, the system suggests that you break through the blockade of the gang members ahead. There are fewer than 10 gang members and two vehicles ahead. With your twice-modified mount, breaking through the blockade will be a piece of cake.
Cheng Yi's gaze was like lightning. He suddenly turned around and looked at the two women in the back seat. His voice was deep but carried an undeniable authority: "Cover your heads, hug each other, and don't make a sound no matter what you hear."
Without hesitation, Yang Mi quickly covered her and Resha's heads with her clothes. Then the two hugged tightly, their bodies trembling slightly, yet they suppressed their inner fear.
They knew that Cheng Yi must have his reasons for saying that, and at this moment, all they could do was obey.
Cheng Yi slowly turned his head, his eyes becoming deep and resolute. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to gather all his courage into that one breath.
Then, in that unnoticed world of thoughts, he issued the command.
In an instant, the taxi's previously low-pitched engine roared like a beast awakened, the car trembled violently, and its speed began to gradually increase.
Like a cannonball burning with the fire of revenge, it hurtled straight toward the two cars lying across the road and the eight people standing nearby.
"Bang! Bang!" Two loud bangs rang out in succession, like the death knell tolling by the Grim Reaper.
The two young men who tried to stop the chariot were thrown away by the enormous impact like fragile dolls, their bodies tracing two arcs in the air before crashing heavily to the roadside.
Then, with another loud bang, the taxi, like a steel behemoth, slammed into the junction of the two vehicles, creating a jagged gash.
The taxi, propelled by the fierce impact, shot through the gap like an arrow, leaving behind only a trail of flying dust.
The remaining few people were stunned by this sudden turn of events, looking at each other with fear and disbelief in their eyes.
After a while, they came to their senses as if waking from a dream and ran towards their two companions who had been knocked away.
They surrounded the injured person, frantically checking the situation, their eyes filled with panic.
After a moment, one of them seemed to remember something, and hesitantly pulled out his phone from his pocket and began to call to report the sudden situation, his voice still filled with lingering fear.
The two women in the back seat felt as if the car was a lone boat caught in a storm, trembling violently.
"Bang bang bang..." The continuous impacts exploded in their ears like thunder, each one like a heavy hammer pounding on their hearts.
They clung to each other tightly, their bodies stiff with fear, not daring to breathe, as if the slightest sound would engulf them in this endless danger.
Cheng Yi stared intently ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, veins bulging on his forehead.
