Chapter 28
After speaking, he straddled the motorcycle, revved the engine, and shot forward like an arrow.
Shen Wan watched the young man’s receding figure and should have felt relieved, but an inexplicable heaviness settled in her heart.
At this moment, a taxi slid to her side, “Miss, are you getting in?”
Shen Wan immediately opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. “Chase the motorcycle ahead.”
“This…” The driver looked hesitant.
“I’ll pay double the fare.”

“Alright then! Miss, hold on tight!”
With that, he pressed the gas pedal to the floor.
Instinctively, Shen Wan held onto the handrail, her gaze fixed on Zhou Chi, who had already distanced himself. “Please hurry.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t lose him. I promise you won’t miss catching him in the act!”
Shen Wan was speechless by the driver’s remark.
As they approached a red light intersection with only three seconds left before it turned red, the driver was prepared to stop.
Suddenly, Shen Wan spoke up, “Keep going!”
Her voice was urgent and forceful, carrying a sense of urgency and determination. The driver’s heart trembled, and he instinctively complied.
However, in the rush to proceed, the cars from the left intersection had already started moving. In that split second, as they passed by, there was only about 10 centimeters of distance between them.
“Damn it! Can you even drive properly?”
The other driver cursed, and the taxi driver intended to reply, but Shen Wan intervened, “Don’t waste time.”
“You nearly got me killed just now, Miss! In that situation, how could you make me just go for it? Thankfully, I reacted fast and have good driving skills…”
“Be quiet! Prepare to make a left turn up ahead, and make sure you stay close.”
“Hey, I’m curious, why are you…”
“If you don’t want to receive complaints, I suggest you keep quiet.”
The driver fell silent.
About fifteen minutes later, the motorcycle entered a roundabout and its speed continued to increase.
Soon after, the road opened up ahead, with three lanes wide and smooth. The taxi driver murmured, “We’re on the outer ring road now. How much longer do we have to chase…”
Shen Wan’s expression changed slightly. “Where are we?”
The driver was startled by her sharp tone and nearly lost control of the steering wheel. “Why are you so nervous?!”
“I’m asking you, where are we?”
The driver glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and was surprised by how pale her face was. “This, this is the Outer Ring Chun Chen Road. Is there a problem?”
Chun Chen Road!
This was the place where Zhou Chi had the accident in his previous life!
Could it be that fate was truly unchangeable?
No!
She refused to believe it!
If she couldn’t change it, then what was the point of being reborn?
Was she destined to meet a gruesome end, with her organs being torn out and dying an undignified death?
“Stop the car!”
The driver was taken aback, “W-We’re stopping?”
“I told you to stop the car!”
Squeak—
With a sudden brake, Shen Wan took advantage of his unpreparedness and kicked him out. It’s also the driver’s fault for relying on his long driving experience and not wearing a seatbelt.
Shen Wan shifted to the driver’s seat, engaged the clutch, shifted gears, and hit the gas.
The entire process took only a few seconds, so fast that it was hard to keep up with. By the time the taxi driver reacted, all he saw was the dust from the departing car.
“My car! I’ve been robbed!”
Due to the previous halt and switch, valuable time was lost. The taxi had now surged far ahead of the motorcycle, leaving Shen Wan with no option but to floor the gas pedal, managing to glimpse Zhou Chi at the intersection just in time.
As long as they were even a second later, by the time they crossed the intersection, she would lose track of the young man.
She couldn’t bear to think about it!
Shen Wan held the steering wheel with a firm grip, skillfully alternating between the clutch, brake, and gas pedal.
Starting from being unfamiliar at first to becoming skilled now, and with the adrenaline rush of the high-speed pursuit, she could feel the thrill coursing through her veins!
She was resolute in her determination not to make the same mistake again, she reminded herself!
