Zhan Bei Jue was unsure if the car was simply malfunctioning or if it was targeting them.
So after being cut off once, he reverted to his original driving style.
The facts soon proved that the car was indeed after him.
The moment he moved, the other car also changed lanes.
Looking at the eye-catching model and color, and then at this childish maneuver.
Zhan Bei Jue understood.
Ke Teng had kept his word; he 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 City, besides Ke Teng, there was likely no one else.
However, his actions were no longer just childish.
It was completely playing with life.
During rush hour, with so many cars on the road, what if others were caught in an accident...
Seeing the ferocity in Zhan Bei Jue's eyes as he sharply turned the steering wheel to the right, ready to engage in a contest.
Jiang Nan Fang quickly stopped him.
"Don't do this, don't engage with him. Let's pull over and park the car, and just ignore him."
This was a joke.
Zhan Bei Jue was a man, a spirited man.
To be openly provoked and then meekly back down like a turtle admitting defeat?
Impossible.
He ignored Jiang Nan Fang, glanced at the cars to his left and right in the rearview mirror, confirming they were all giving them space and there was no immediate danger.
He pressed the accelerator, changed into the adjacent lane, and pursued Ke Teng's car.
"A Jue, are you crazy? Are you 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 the children if something happens to both of us?"
Damn it!
The car braked just as it was about to collide.
Ke Teng observed from his rearview mirror.
Seeing him pursue for a moment and then give up, he became even more reckless.
Driving like a toy car, he weaved back and forth in front of Zhan Bei Jue's car, maintaining a precarious distance.
One car occupied two lanes, twisting and turning.
Drivers behind them honked their horns, some even rolled down their windows to curse.
"Are you insane? Do you own the road? Go home to die, don't be a nuisance here!"
"Is anyone calling the police? If not, I will! How can such a lunatic be on the road?"
Ke Teng was already in a bad mood, and hearing the incessant honking from all sides.
Feeling as though everyone was supporting Zhan Bei Jue, he became even angrier.
He shifted into reverse and, with a sudden drift, the car turned around and drove against the traffic.
The speed of the cars on both sides was high. If Zhan Bei Jue hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit.
He quickly swerved to the left, narrowly avoiding a collision, but Ke Teng violently crashed into the car behind him.
"CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!"
A chain reaction of rear-end collisions ensued, and the road was instantly gridlocked.
Jiang Nan Fang looked out the car window and, seeing the severe accident, her heart leaped.
"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 dies. What's there to see?"
Zhan Bei Jue accelerated, quickly driving away from the chaotic scene behind them.
Jiang Nan Fang's heart pounded. Even after driving a considerable distance, she kept looking back.
Seeing that Ke Teng hadn't emerged from his car, she was worried.
"Why are you like this? I said I wanted to go check on him, and you just kept driving. Can't you hear me?"
Seeing the worry on her face, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.
He pulled the car over to the side of the road and stopped.
"What is it? You can't bear to leave him? What exactly is Ke Teng to you?"
"You lose control of your emotions as soon as you see him. You two must have deep feelings for each other!"
Since they had agreed not to argue anymore, Zhan Bei Jue hadn't spoken to her so sarcastically in a long time.
Hearing it so suddenly, Jiang Nan Fang was also angered.
She retorted fiercely.
"Do you think you're any better than Ke Teng? You're all the same kind of people."
"Your minds are as small as a needle's point, extreme and obsessive."
"In his eyes, there are only two kinds of relationships between men and women. Isn't it the same in your eyes!"
"Between him and me, it's either lovers or enemies, never just friends, right?"
"You know he's younger than me, and I owe him a favor. Shouldn't I be concerned? Don't forget how you acted towards Shen Min'er in front of me!"
Very well.
Every time she mentioned Ke Teng, she brought up Chen Shen Min'er.
Zhan Bei Jue was once again silenced.
They stared at each other for a few seconds. He gritted his teeth, shifted into gear again, and drove back onto the main road.
Both of them were angry, staring straight ahead, no longer speaking.
This continued for about a minute when traffic ahead slowed them down.
The 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 stealthily reached out his right hand and touched her hand.
Feeling the touch, Jiang Nan Fang instinctively tried to pull away.
Zhan Bei Jue quickly held her hand.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so harsh on you just now. Don't be angry."
"Hmph!"
"You met Ke Teng privately, and then you defended him in front of me. As your husband, how can I not be jealous?"
"You know how I feel about him, 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 took so long to get me, and we finally got married. I'm just worried."
"..."
Although it sounded a bit disingenuous, a bit of playful weakness could be 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 related to him, anything is fine. But if you want me to yield to him, I'm sorry. I can't do that."
This was a matter of male pride and a bottom line that could not be compromised.
Jiang Nan Fang pleaded with him.
"Then try your best, okay? He's immature and easily 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, playing along with him when he acts foolishly like today is acceptable."
"But if he harasses you again, I can't guarantee what I might do."
"..."
Seeing that she couldn't reason with him, Jiang Nan Fang didn't want to continue. She changed the subject.
"Has Shen Min'er contacted you recently? How do you plan to handle her affairs?"
Zhan Bei Jue glanced at her.
"Don't bring up Shen Min'er every time you mention Ke Teng. You know very well that when it comes to Shen Min'er, I'm more clear-headed than you."
"I can guarantee that I won't meet her privately behind your back. I'll just have money regularly transferred to her account, and Zhou Jinbei will handle her mother's affairs entirely. Can you do that?"
"..."
"Shen Min'er is not a threat between us, you know this. But Ke Teng is different."
Zhan Bei Jue took control of the conversation.
"Why did you meet him today? Did he seek you out, or did you seek him out?"
