Chapter 403: Faulty Brake

Ah Ao stared at Luo Cong’s car in disgust and asked, “Should we follow or wait here?”

“Let’s follow. We should see how many lives they have considering they have been trying to scheme against other people’s lives. Bet they never thought that they’d be schemed against.”

It was close to midnight. Luo Cong was driving high speed down an overpass. Lu Ke at the backseat screamed nonstop. “Damn it! Luo Cong, you madman, let me out now! Stop the car! Stop the car now!” Lu Ke was not that courageous. She only dared to do all these things because Lu Qin had given her the green light. Lu Qin told her that no matter what happened, the Lu Family would back her up. Now that she was kidnapped by a drunkard, Lu Ke’s bravado was all gone. Seeing as Luo Cong didn’t respond to her, Lu Ke could only grab the safety belt and freeze in place.

“Shut up or I will throw you out of the car!” Luo Cong stepped on the accelerator and sped down the empty street. The wind howled in through the open windows. It made him feel even more pumped. Luo Cong knew that he shouldn’t be doing this but he couldn’t control himself. It was like a repressed emotion had exploded within him. He had been treated like trash for many years and had nothing to show for it. Tonight, he was humiliated in public and no one came to help him and now he had to bow to a woman? Why should he?

The more Luo Cong thought about it, the angrier he became. The car sped faster. The trees melted into the background. Lu Ke was truly afraid then. She stammered. “What, what is it that you want? If you want money, I will give you but you need to let me go.”

Luo Cong responded with a laugh. He gripped the steering wheel. “Why are you so worried? Aren’t we in the same boat? Don’t worry, as long as you give me the money, I will deal with Mo Li and ensure your safety. As long as you are obedient, I will not do anything to you.”

Lu Ke only knew Luo Cong was a sweet-talking man. It was why Lu Ke thought he could charm a naive girl like Mo Li. However, Lu Ke now understood that it was all a pretense Luo Cong had for the sake of money. Once it endangered his benefits, Luo Cong would do anything. Lu Ke foolishly thought Luo Cong was a pawn that she could throw away easily but this pawn was now turning on her!

Lu Ke tried to make her voice sound even. But she couldn’t stop the catch in her voice. “Okay, I’ll promise you. Please, can we stop the car first? I’ll transfer you the money now. In fact, I’ll stop asking you to go find Mo Li, you only need to stop the car and let me go.” Lu Ke took out her phone with shaking hands. She held onto the safety handle and didn’t even dare to look out the window.

Hearing that, Luo Cong recovered some sanity. His head pained like it was about to explode. His world spun. Luo Cong tapped his forehead to keep himself awake. He was about to turn to his phone to check his bank account when a truck came from the opposite side and headed right towards them…

“AH!” Lu Ke screamed at the top of her lungs. Luo Cong’s head was heavy. He turned the steering wheel. The car flew out to the other side. Lu Ke was flung against the door and her head bled.

The car landed with a bang before it continued to fly out. This woke Luo Cong up instantly. He quickly stepped on the brake but it was not effective. Luo Cong’s lips were white. Lu Ke saw this and cried. “Have you lost your mind? Stop now! I need to get down! I beg you, I’ll give you 100,000. Let me down now.”

Luo Cong didn’t even register Lu Ke’s words. His fingers were trembling. “It’s the brake… The brake is not working! I can’t stop the car!’

Hearing that, Lu Ke’s body weakened. She slumped in her seat. Then she started to cry with despair.

Luo Cong was really panicking now. His strength was drained out of his body. He could barely hold the steering wheel.

His foot stepped on the brake but the car was still charging ahead like crazy.
