Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Taxi: Speed and Passion

Gu Yu hid his injured hand in his jacket sleeve and rushed with his three brothers to hail a taxi at the school gate.

"Driver, to the International Gymnastics Center, it's urgent."

Gu Yu slammed the taxi door shut with a clang, pulled out his phone from his pocket, and scanned the payment QR code via Feixin app, transferring 888 directly to the driver.

The taxi driver, appearing to be in his mid-forties, squinted his eyes when he heard the notification of the payment.

"Buckle up, hold tight, and prepare for takeoff."

As he spoke, he pulled down the sun visor, took out polarized sunglasses from the glove compartment, and turned to look at the three in the back seat.

The three hurriedly fastened their seat belts and then grabbed the handles on the car doors.

Qin Shan, sitting in the middle without a handle, had to grasp the back of the front seat.

Seeing that all four were ready, the driver put on his polarized sunglasses, stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, spun the tires in place for two seconds, and then the car zoomed off.

Gu Yu felt his head pressing hard against the backrest, unable to move, and barely managed a glance at his brothers in the rear with the corner of his eyes.

He saw their faces almost sticking to the back of their heads!

Meanwhile, looking at the calm-faced driver who was even able to sing while driving!

"It's been a long day without you my friend~"

"And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again~"

"..."

Goodness!

It was none other than the theme song from "Fast and Furious 7", "See You Again"!

"Driver... maybe we could take it a bit slower?"

Gu Yu was holding on to the seatbelt with his left hand when suddenly a sharp right turn came, and the centrifugal force almost pressed him directly against the glass.

Those in the backseat, including Boss Pu, were tossed around, with Qin Shan ending up in Boss Pu's lap.

The driver glanced back at everyone, seemingly disdainful, and curled his lip.

"Didn't you say it was urgent? I wanted to show off my skills from my days as a Formula One racer."

He spoke, yet he still slowed down the speed.

However, it was only slightly slower compared to before, and he continued to swiftly overtake and leave other cars behind.

"You're speeding!!!"

Qin Shan climbed out from Boss Pu's lap and pointed at the speedometer on the dashboard.

The driver raised an eyebrow, squeezed out three forehead lines, still wearing a look of disdain.

"This section has no speed check, do you think you can dock my points? Bring on the radar!"

The taxi took another swerving turn, causing the four passengers to sway from side to side again.

Normally, a five-kilometer journey would take over ten minutes, but in less than five minutes, the taxi was already stably parked at the entrance of the International Gymnastics Center!

"We're here, this little distance in four minutes and fifty-three seconds? That's an insult to my skills! Get out, get out!"

The driver took off his polarized sunglasses, glanced at the time on his phone, and impatiently shooed the four out of the car.

He seemed annoyed for not having a chance to enjoy a thrilling urban race.

As Gu Yu got out of the car, he felt as if his feet were floating.

"Bro, aren't you usually carsick? How come you seem completely fine this time?"

He looked at Yu Shutong, well aware of his severe motion sickness.

Typically, just sitting in a sedan or similar small car would make him dizzy and nauseous, yet now, except for a bit of unsteadiness similar to his, there was nothing unusual.

"I didn't even have time to feel dizzy before we arrived!"

Yu Shutong steadied himself, his face expressionless.

He hadn't completely recovered from the shock yet! They had already reached their destination!

This was as thrilling as a roller coaster ride!

"Uhm... let's hurry and rescue Xinyue!"

Gu Yu was startled, but didn't dwell too much on this topic. He checked the navigation for the direction of Xinyue's location via Feixin, and then headed toward the west side of the International Gymnastics Center.

There was a big building ahead, the location indicating that Lin Xinyue was inside that very building!

The other three also put away their jesting and followed Gu Yu toward the building.

Five minutes later...

"This is it, the sixteenth floor of the Jinfeng Building!"

Gu Yu stood at the entrance of the building, and the glass doors automatically opened.

Upon entering the building, he indeed found Yue Tian Capital Trading Company on the floor directory, which showed that the entire sixteenth floor was occupied only by Yue Tian Capital!

Taking the elevator up quickly, Gu Yu pondered throughout whether or not to use his Check-in Points to heal his injured arm.

But he had not made up his mind by the time the elevator reached the sixteenth floor.

Using Check-in Points to repair injuries was, after all, quite an unbelievable thing to consider.

He decided to assess the situation first and see if the other party was indeed unreasonable and resorted to violence, at which point it wouldn't be too late to recover then.

Thinking this, Gu Yu exited the elevator with his three buddies.

"Yue Tian Capital Trading Company, looks like we've arrived."

Boss Pu's attention was captured by the electronic auto glass door's company sign above.

But Gu Yu's attention was entirely on the company lobby behind the glass doors.

Lin Xinyue and Hu Xiaoya were sitting on plastic stools, surrounded by four men in suits to prevent them from escaping.

The tattooed hulk sat in a swivel chair, confronting the two women.

"You are illegally detaining us!"

Although she couldn't move, Ya's mouth wasn't controlled, and she continued to argue fiercely with the man opposite her. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Her girlfriend, Lin Xinyue, however, was much calmer, quietly observing on the side, seemingly aware that arguing wouldn't solve the immediate problem.

"Ya, keep quiet for a bit and let Gu Yu handle it when he arrives!"

She was somewhat worried that her best friend would provoke the men, and the two girls couldn't possibly resist so many of them.

These hulking men didn't look like they were there to make a lawful collection.

They were probably outsourced debt collectors from a lending agency!

"Hmph, you'd better pray that you've brought enough money, or even if he comes, don't expect to leave!"

Wang Huanhua snorted coldly, a blatant arrogance in his gaze as he looked at the two girls.

Especially when his gaze fell on Lin Xinyue, his eyes blatantly swept up and down, his intent to invade clear and apparent.

But he didn't take the opportunity to act; after all, they were only there to collect money someone else's debtors owed, using intimidation and threats, but without actually beating or harming them.

Not to mention doing anything bad to the two girls.

At this point, they merely wanted money, not to unnecessarily stir up trouble.

Of course, if these two girls couldn't provide a satisfactory answer, it wouldn't be his fault, Wang Huanhua, if he resorted to some unsavory measures!

Just as he was entertaining some wicked thoughts—

The lobby's glass door was suddenly pushed open.

Four grim-looking young men entered, all appearing to be college students!

Wang Huanhua hurriedly stood up, and his four underlings also turned around to face them.

"Let them go."

Before Wang Huanhua could speak, Gu Yu spoke first.

His tone was cold, carrying an inexplicable calm.

"Let go, can do—but did you bring enough money?"

Wang Huanhua's lips curled upward, and he slowly walked towards Gu Yu with his hands clasped behind his head.

He was a good half-head taller than Gu Yu, especially with his muscular build giving off a strong oppressive force!

He looked around at Gu Yu and his three friends, his face full of disdain.

Just these four scrawny college students?

Not enough for him to handle alone!

"Give me a reason to pay you first, and you better explain clearly why Hu Xiaoya owes you money."

Gu Yu ignored the fierce stare of his opponent and bypassed Wang Huanhua, trying to walk over to Lin Xinyue.

Just then, a large hand suddenly grabbed his left arm.

"Kid, pay up first!"
