Zhan Bei Jue wasn't sure if the car was simply being obnoxious or if it was targeting them.
After being cut off once, he returned to his previous driving style.
Facts soon proved that the car was indeed targeting him.
The moment he changed lanes, the other car followed suit.
Seeing the conspicuous make and color, coupled with this childish tactic,
Zhan Bei Jue understood.
Ke Teng had kept his word and had come to seek revenge.
Jiang Nan Fang also realized what was happening.
Dare to openly challenge Zhan Bei Jue so lawlessly on the streets of Nan Cheng? Besides Ke Teng, there was likely no one else.
However, his actions had gone beyond mere childishness.
He was playing with his life.
During rush hour, with so many cars on the road, what if innocent bystanders were caught in an accident...
Seeing the ferocity in Zhan Bei Jue's eyes as he wrenched the steering wheel to the right, as if ready to engage in a contest,
Jiang Nan Fang quickly stopped him.
"Don't do that, don't engage him. Let's pull over and ignore him."
What a joke.
Zhan Bei Jue was a man, a hot-blooded man.
To be openly provoked and then to meekly retreat and admit defeat like a turtle?
Impossible.
He ignored Jiang Nan Fang, glancing at the surrounding vehicles in the rearview mirror. He confirmed that they were all giving them space and that there was no immediate danger.
He accelerated, changed into the adjacent lane, and chased after Ke Teng's car.
"Ah Jue, are you crazy? You're really going to play along with him? What if something happens?"
Zhan Bei Jue stared ahead with fierce eyes.
"If he's not afraid of something happening, why should I be?"
"What are you afraid of? You have four children! What will happen to them if something happens to both of us?"
Damn it!
At the very last moment before impact, he slammed on the brakes.
Ke Teng observed from his rearview mirror.
Seeing that Zhan Bei Jue had stopped chasing, he became even more audacious.
As if driving a toy car, he weaved left and right just in front of Zhan Bei Jue's car, maintaining a close but not too close distance.
One car occupied two lanes, swerving back and forth.
Drivers behind them honked incessantly, some even rolling down their windows to yell.
"Are you insane? Is this road yours? Go die at home, don't be a nuisance here!"
"Is anyone calling the police? I'm calling if no one else does! How can a lunatic like this be allowed on the road?"
Ke Teng was already in a foul mood, and hearing the chorus of horns from all sides,
He felt as if everyone was supporting Zhan Bei Jue, which only infuriated him further.
He shifted into reverse and, with a sudden drift, turned the car around and drove against traffic.
The speeds of the cars on both sides were so high. If Zhan Bei Jue hadn't reacted so quickly, he would have been hit.
He hastily turned the wheel to the left. He managed to avoid the collision, but Ke Teng crashed fiercely into the car behind him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A chain reaction of rear-end collisions occurred, and the road was instantly gridlocked.
Jiang Nan Fang looked out the car window, her heart leaping in shock at the severe accident.
"Stop the car. Ke Teng had an accident. I don't know if he's injured. He just recovered, I need to go down and check on him."
"Serves him right. Someone like that idiot, it's better if he died. What's there to see?"
Zhan Bei Jue stepped on the accelerator and sped away from the ensuing chaos.
Jiang Nan Fang's heart pounded. Even after driving a considerable distance, she kept looking back.
Not seeing Ke Teng emerge from his car for a long time, she was very worried.
"Why are you like this? I told you I needed to go see him, and you just kept driving. Can't you hear me?"
Seeing the worried look on her face, Zhan Bei Jue's jealousy flared up.
He pulled the car over to the side of the road and stopped.
"What's this? You can't bear to leave him? What is Ke Teng to you, really?"
"You lose control of your emotions as soon as you see him. You two seem quite affectionate!"
Ever since they had agreed not to bicker anymore, Zhan Bei Jue hadn't taunted her like this in a long time.
Hearing his sarcastic tone suddenly, Jiang Nan Fang became angry.
She retorted fiercely.
"Do you think you're any better than Ke Teng? You're both cut from the same cloth."
"Your minds are as narrow as a needle's point, and you're both extreme and obsessive."
"In his eyes, there are only two kinds of relationships between men and women. Isn't it the same in yours!"
"Between him and me, we're either lovers or enemies, never just friends, right?"
"You know he's younger than me, and I owe him a favor. Shouldn't I care about him a little? Don't forget how you treated Shen Min'er right in front of me!"
Very good.
Every time she mentioned Ke Teng, she brought up Chen Shen Min'er.
Zhan Bei Jue was once again rendered speechless.
They stared at each other for a few seconds. He gritted his teeth, shifted into drive, and pulled the car back onto the main road.
Both of them were angry, staring straight ahead, no longer speaking.
This silence lasted for about a minute before they encountered traffic congestion ahead.
The car speed dropped considerably. Zhan Bei Jue drove leisurely while secretly observing her.
Seeing her left hand resting on the edge of the seat and her eyes looking out the window, he subtly reached his right hand over and touched the back of her hand.
Feeling the touch, Jiang Nan Fang instinctively tried to pull away.
Zhan Bei Jue quickly gripped her hand.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so harsh with you just now. Don't be angry."
"Hmph!"
"Meeting with Ke Teng privately, and then defending him in front of me. As your husband, how can I not be jealous?"
"You know how I feel about him and yet you say such things. Doesn't that show a lack of trust in me?"
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust him."
"He snatched you away for so long, and we finally got married. I'm just worried."
"..."
Although it sounded a bit disingenuous, a little bit of coaxing and showing vulnerability was effective with women.
Jiang Nan Fang stopped struggling.
"Will you promise me one thing?"
Zhan Bei Jue turned his head and brought her hand to his lips.
"Is it related to Ke Teng?"
"Promise me first."
"As long as it's not about him, anything is fine. But if you ask me to yield to him, I'm sorry. I can't do that."
This was a matter of pride and principle, something he could not compromise on.
Jiang Nan Fang pleaded with him.
"Then try your best, okay? He's immature and impulsive. Don't stoop to his level. Otherwise, if you keep going back and forth, when will it end?"
"As long as he doesn't cross my bottom line, and just acts foolishly like today, I can play along."
"But if he bothers you again, I can't guarantee what I might do."
"..."
Seeing that it was impossible to reason with him, Jiang Nan Fang decided not to pursue the matter further. She changed the subject.
"Has Shen Min'er contacted you recently? How do you plan to handle her situation?"
Zhan Bei Jue glanced at her.
"Don't bring up Shen Min'er every time you mention Ke Teng. You know very well that I'm more level-headed than you are when it comes to Shen Min'er."
"I can promise not to meet her privately behind your back. I'll just have people regularly transfer money to her account, and her mother's affairs will be entirely handled by Zhou Jin Bei. Can you say the same?"
"..."
"Shen Min'er is not a threat between us, you know that very well. But Ke Teng is different."
Zhan Bei Jue regained control of the conversation.
"Why did you meet him today? Did he approach you first, or did you approach him?"
