But to my surprise, my sincere words were not believed by Linna. Hmph, you’re just upset; you come back and wear a sour face.
Linna let out a light huff, looking a bit displeased. But she’s unhappy? I’m the one who should be unhappy! “Linna! You’re wrong to say that! What do you mean? Are you insulting me?”
I immediately turned hostile! Linna was taken aback, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion as she looked at me.
I know you’ve been pampered since childhood, living a life where you could buy whatever you wanted. Now, my circumstances might not allow you to live like that anymore, but I will do my best! What do you mean I’m unhappy if you spend your own money? You’re my girlfriend! What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine. If you spend your own money, why should I be unhappy?
I spoke passionately; it was time to show my feelings. After spending every day living under the same roof with her, it was time to put aside the big and small tricks.
“Do you really think that way?” Linna asked me, her eyes glimmering with a hint of emotion.
Of course, I was just worried about the upcoming actions; I was concerned that Cao Hui might set me up.
I gazed at Linna with deep affection; emotion is the best way to connect with someone! It’s also a secret weapon in nurturing love. Of course, everything I said was true.
“Oh, then I must have misunderstood you. Thank you, Xiang Dong. You’re right; you are my boyfriend. What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours.”
Linna said shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed. Seeing this, I smiled affectionately and took her small hand in mine. Her hand was soft and delicate; how could such a lovely little hand be so strong when it came to fighting?
At this touching moment, Linna naturally didn’t pull away from my hand.
“Well then, since you think what I said is right, and I think this way too, your blanket is also my blanket. You know how uncomfortable it is to sleep on this sofa…”
“Get lost!”
Before I could finish my sentence, Linna yanked her hand away and turned around! I was left speechless; didn’t we just agree? What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours! We share everything!
There was silence that night—real silence—Linna ignored me completely.
The next day, I received a notification from Xiong Li. He told me that tonight the boss would summon me for dinner, so I should pay attention and not offend him.
Naturally, I acknowledged this and smiled slightly after hanging up the phone; tonight would be the moment of revelation. It was time for me to sell another piece of leverage to Cao Hui to gain his trust.
I pulled out my phone and dialed Lu Qiang’s number; this matter had to start with him.
“Hey, Lu Ge, are you free?”
“Yeah, what’s up brother? Is there something going on?” Lu Qiang replied cheerfully. Then I mentioned that I had been feeling a bit restless these past few days and wanted him to join me for some fun. Upon hearing “fun,” Lu Qiang immediately agreed and said he would drive over in an hour.
Next, I called Wan Fei; I remembered the route to the casino very well—it was along Longshan Road, the only treacherous road in Kyoto.
An hour later, Lu Qiang arrived right on time. Before he came over during that hour, I had already downed half a jin of liquor myself.
"Brother, have you been drinking? Can you drive? Maybe it's better to skip it. That road isn't fixed yet; it's not safe."
"It's fine, Lu Ge. I haven't had the chance to drive your Mercedes-Benz yet; I want to enjoy it!"
I didn't care what Lu Qiang said and jumped into the driver's seat of his Mercedes-Benz. Seeing my determination, Lu Qiang could only smile helplessly and handed me the keys.
As soon as I got behind the wheel, I pushed the car to one hundred eighty kilometers per hour before I had even gone far!
"Hey! Hey! Brother, what are you doing? Don't drive so fast!"
I had been drinking and was speeding, which made Lu Qiang a bit nervous. But I laughed and said, "It's fine, Lu Ge! Back in my youth, I was an excellent driver! Don’t say this car; even if you gave me a Lamborghini, I could hit two hundred eighty on this road!"
Of course, I was just boasting! In reality, driving at one hundred eighty made me feel a bit anxious; it was indeed quite fast.
But my bragging seemed to convince him! There was nothing I could do; my talent for boasting was just too strong. My demeanor, tone, and even an unconscious glance were all perfectly executed!
"Really? You have those skills?"
When Lu Qiang heard about my glorious past, he visibly relaxed a bit. I smiled and said, "Of course! I'm not just bragging; back in the day, I was a famous driving god!"
I said this with pride, but in truth, I was just talking big without any real skills. Lu Qiang actually believed me! But when I wanted to speed up again, he wouldn't let me. He coaxed me by saying that one day he would get a Lamborghini for me to take to the racetrack.
I didn't say much more and kept driving while chatting with him.
"Hey! Hey! Brother, that's enough! We're approaching Longshan Road; take it easy there—it's dangerous to speed."
As we neared Longshan Road, Lu Qiang hurriedly reminded me. The mountains around Kyoto aren't many, and Longshan Road is an old road built along the hillside. The entire road twists like a giant snake coiling around the mountain—very rugged and prone to accidents. If a car crashes hard enough, it could tumble down the mountain with no survivors. So usually, cars slow down when they reach Longshan Road.
"It's fine! You trust my driving skills, right?"
I continued to boast while keeping my speed up! I was still chatting with Lu Qiang as we drove.
"Hey! Hey! Stop talking and watch the road! Look out!"
"Huh?"
I was in the middle of telling Lu Qiang a joke when—
Bang!
A loud crash echoed as my car turned a corner and collided with a small truck! The impact sent that truck tumbling down the mountain!
Damn!
The safety features of the Mercedes-Benz are impressive; upon impact, the airbags deployed instantly. Lu Qiang and I were hardly hurt at all.
"This is bad! You're in trouble now!"
Lu Qiang exclaimed in shock as he realized that the small truck had been sent crashing down the cliff—surely someone must have died!
But in reality, there had been no one in that truck at all. It was parked there on purpose because I had called Wan Fei earlier to make it look like I was in trouble!
Drunk driving resulting in death carries a prison sentence of three to seven years if one does not flee the scene, and over seven years to life imprisonment if one does. This crime is serious enough; all I need to do is act scared enough to make Cao Hui believe he has me firmly in his grasp!
Right now, my only task is to be afraid and to flee! I must exaggerate this nonexistent crime as much as possible and make Lu Qiang think I'm terrified of going to prison.
What should I do? What am I going to do, Brother Lu? I’ve killed someone! I’m going to face charges! Call Cao Tangzhu and ask him to help me!
I was suddenly filled with panic and fear as I spoke to Lu Qiang. After hearing me, Lu Qiang quickly got out of the car and looked down the mountain, shaking his head helplessly. Then there was a loud bang! The car exploded!
It’s over; I’m doomed. I don’t even know how many people I’ve killed! What am I going to do, Brother Lu?
I asked Lu Qiang, my face filled with anxiety. He pondered for a moment; a person like him wouldn’t come up with any good solutions. He said, “It’s fine. There’s no one here right now; we’ll just handle it.”
Is that really possible? If we flee, we’ll definitely end up in prison! I don’t want to go to jail!
I nervously told Lu Qiang, but he smiled and patted my shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, brother. We’ll clean this up down there, and no one will know this car was crashed down the mountain. Kyoto is our territory; if we can’t handle something like this, we might as well give up. Besides, even if they find out, what can they do? Who are we? Even if the family of the victims has the guts to sue you, it’ll just be a matter of compensation.”
Lu Qiang looked at me with a grin. After hearing this, I couldn’t help but feel disdain for these bullies who take advantage of their power! Perhaps this is the reason for my undercover mission—to take down these scoundrels!
Alright then, I’ll call someone to clean this up.
I quickly took out my phone, appearing somewhat flustered. Seeing me pull out my phone, Lu Qiang said, “Brother, why don’t I help you take care of this?”
As soon as he spoke, I understood his intention. If he helped clean it up, he would also destroy the evidence. There are cameras ahead that could prove the truck was driven by me—this would be my incriminating evidence.
But I knew there were no bodies in the wreckage; how could I let him clean it up?
“No need; I’ll handle it myself.”
After saying that, I dialed Wan Fei’s number and asked him to bring people to clean up the mess. Longshan Road rarely sees traffic; moreover, to ensure nothing went wrong, I had already instructed Wan Fei to block off the road after my car entered. This means that from the surveillance footage at Longshan Road’s entrance, only Lu Qiang’s vehicle entered after mine.
Lu Qiang’s car now had a crumpled front end from the recent accident. Soon after, when I drove out and took a lap under surveillance while Lu Qiang used his connections to access the footage as evidence, his testimony would be enough to prove that I crashed into the truck—sufficient evidence of my guilt.
Lu Qiang didn’t say anything after that. Once I finished my call with Wan Fei, I told Lu Qiang that I wasn’t in the mood to hang out anymore and suggested we head back.
“Sure,” Lu Qiang replied as he took a seat in the passenger seat. This small gesture revealed his cautiousness; even though I had just been in an accident, he didn’t dare drive this car now—what if the cameras caught him behind the wheel?
“Brother Lu, sorry for wrecking your car today. How much will it cost to fix? It’s on me.”
I drove Lu Qiang home in his Mercedes-Benz. He smiled at me and said, “It’s fine; it’s just a small amount of money. Don’t worry about it.”
Sigh… How can I not worry when someone has died? Enough about that; I'm heading back now.
After saying goodbye to Lu Qiang, I left. Whether or not this leverage holds depends on how Lu Qiang handles this car. If he sells it off because he doesn’t want anything to do with an accident vehicle, then they clearly don’t plan on using this incident against me. If he repairs it instead, they still have no intention of using it against me. But if it just sits in the garage untouched, then it means they’re keeping it as evidence—this situation will become serious!
