The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 249: Chapter 248: Encountered a Racing Tycoon?

The sound of the motorcycle engine tore through the streets, its roar piercing the air and striking right at the heart.

In the passenger seat, the driver, and in the back seat, Liang Xueyan and Mrs. Wang, clutched the handles tightly, watching the black-clad figures drawing closer, their hearts leaping to their throats.

The distance between the two parties was no more than thirty meters.

“Miss…” the driver’s voice trembled as he whispered to her, urging her not to lose focus now.

Lu Mian pursed her lips, drawing her gaze back from the rearview mirror, and responded with a light “Oh,” her expression becoming serious.

Her foot pressed the clutch and the accelerator at once, as her right hand swiftly shifted gears. As they were about to be caught, she gripped the steering wheel, turned hard to the left, and then quickly straightened out.

In a fluid, graceful maneuver, the taxi “drifted” past the vehicle ahead, speeding off like an arrow released from its bow.

The intense force of the acceleration left the other three passengers holding their breath, exclaiming in unison.

By the time they regained their senses, the motorcycle had been left more than a hundred meters behind.

All three of them sat with mouths agape, dumbfounded.

This scene startled not only the nearby vehicles but also seemed to stun the pursuing motorcycle troop for a moment. @@novelbin@@

The leader of the motorcycle pack was baffled—how did they suddenly speed up?

He paused briefly, then gestured to those beside him: “Split up and chase!”

They increased their speed for the pursuit.

Then, Lu Mian’s speed became even faster. By the time onlookers realized what was happening, she had already elegantly zipped past one car after another, racing away.

“The car! The car!”

The driver stuttered, being used to driving but not to sitting in the passenger seat. Watching the young lady about to hit a car in front, he screamed a warning, his voice filled with terror.

In the back seat, Mrs. Wang, with her eyes closed, screamed continuously throughout the ride, unable to even look after her own mistress.

Among the three, only Liang Xueyan, the pregnant woman, was slightly better off. One hand gripping the handle, the other protecting her belly, she bit her lip to keep from making a sound.

Lu Mian ignored these reactions, smiling quietly. The calm and composed look in her eyes, hidden behind sunglasses.

She had already calculated the distance. With another sharp turn, the driver could only watch helplessly as his taxi shaved past another vehicle’s rear end, overtaking it.

The two cars had barely cleared each other by more than five centimeters!

Ahh—

This time, the driver truly went mad. In all his life, he hadn’t expected his modest taxi to feel like a sports car!

Could it be they had encountered a racing pro?

Glancing back at the motorcycle troop, it seemed they had fallen behind by more than five hundred meters.

Still, the driver was worried. Given Hong City’s notorious traffic, they might encounter a massive jam, and then…

Sensing the driver’s concern, Lu Mian held the steering wheel in one hand while seamlessly pulling out her phone with the other to dial a number, slipped on a headset, and did so calmly.

“Handsome Yu, help me navigate to the hospital.”

“Right away.”

The three passengers in the car: …

At that moment, Yuren was sitting in front of his computer and, within seconds, he located Lu Mian’s phone position.

A hint of concern showed on his lean and somber face, “Did something happen on your end?”

Lu Mian hummed an affirmation, “Nothing too serious.”

The three passengers: ???!!!

Yuren quickly provided the best route: “Turn left at the intersection ahead in five hundred meters, the left turn light has only five seconds left. After entering the alley, keep to the right, make a right at the next intersection…”

As Yuren spoke, his hands were busy clicking away. He took a moment to hack into Hong City’s street surveillance to get a real-time view of Lu Mian’s situation. His lean brows furrowed tightly.

Around this girl, there were mercenaries…
