Chapter 2 The Life-Saving Grace of a Steamed Bun!

  • There were a total of three cars in The Bai family's garage.
  • A Mercedes-Benz S600, a Maserati, and an old electric scooter that was used by Lin Fan to shop for groceries.
  • The beautiful chairwoman, Bai Yi was used to going out driving in her Mercedes-Benz S600. The car possessed a classy vibe without being over the top.
  • However, just as Bai Yi was about to open the car door and took a seat in the driver's seat, she was blocked by a large hand.
  • Huh?
  • Bai Yi was stunned and looked at Lin Fan in puzzlement.
  • “Let me drive today!” Lin Fan gave a faint smile and sat in the driver's seat under Bai Yi's surprised gaze.
  • "Do you know how to drive?” Bai Yi was dumbfounded.
  • In the three years that they were married, she had never seen Lin Fan drove a car. Usually, he would go out driving his electric scooter.
  • She had never even seen Lin Fan's driving license before.
  • Well...
  • "You will find out in a second!” Lin Fan did not explain as he smiled faintly and fastened his seat belt.
  • Looking at this scene, though Bai Yi was puzzled, she did not refuse. Instead, she turned to sit in the side passenger's seat.
  • She was not sure why!
  • At this moment, Bai Yi noticed that Lin Fan seemed to have changed a lot.
  • Lin Fan used to be obsequious and timid in the past, but now, Lin Fan always seemed to wear a confident smile on his face. As if everything was well under his control.
  • It is said that a confident man is the most handsome man. And at this moment, in the eyes of Bai Yi, this version of Lin Fan was indeed...quite handsome.
  • The car doors shut!
  • To Bai Yi's surprise, Lin Fan did not start the car. Instead, a look of nostalgia and melancholy appeared in his eyes, "Bai Yi, do you still remember the Bai Ji Steamed Bun Shop?"
  • Huh?
  • Bai Yi was stunned.
  • Of course she remembered. When she was a child, her parents and her grandfather had a difficult relationship. Their family of three was kicked out of The Bai family by her grandfather. They had to earn their living from running a steamed bun shop. How ever could she forget?
  • Nonetheless, she did not understand why Lin Fan brought up this matter.
  • Looking at Bai Yi's current appearance, an image of a little girl with a runny nose and ponytail jumped into Lin Fan's mind.
  • That was ten years ago.
  • When he was thirteen years old, his devilish master issued him with a kill order. He was to stalk the ferocious boss of a mysterious organization which then led him to the Yanhuang territory.
  • That battle!
  • Young Lin Fan killed a total of thirty-two gold level assassins from the mysterious organization. Although he successfully killed the ferocious boss in the final battle, Lin Fan was severely injured, and his life was in grave danger.
  • That happened early in the morning.
  • On the streets of Jiang City, it was cold and desolate. There was only one steamed bun shop with its light on.
  • At that moment, Lin Fan was crawling on the street as he thought about leaving.
  • The scarlet-red blood left such a long stretch of bloodstain on the ground of the street. He really thought that he was going to die.
  • Hunger, pain, and fatigue were endlessly ravaging his mind.
  • But right when he could hardly hold on to life, a little girl appeared in front of him.
  • That's right. It was young Bai Yi!
  • "Mister, are you hungry? Here. This is the big steamed bun that was just freshly made in my family's shop. Have some!"
  • Lin Fan would always remember that sweet smile from young Bai Yi. It was as sweet candy, and he could feel her warmth all the way to his bones.
  • It was that steamed bun that gave young Lin Fan back some of his strength. Like a miracle that rescued him from a desperate situation.
  • He then left Yanhuang!
  • He completed the ultimate mission from his master. At the young age of thirteen, he became the new global King of the Dark World!
  • Even though he was invincible and sweeping forward with victory after victory abroad, he still could not forget young Bai Yi, nor that steamed bun that was stained with blood.
  • "Lin Fan, are you alright?” Bai Yi frowned slightly at this moment.
  • She sensed an air of sorrow and yearning coming from Lin Fan. That mysterious atmosphere even made her doubt that the person in front of her was her worthless husband, who had lived with her for the past three years.
  • "It's nothing. Let's go!"
  • Lin Fan took a deep breath and blocked the past events from his mind. Then, he started the car and took off from the Bai family's home.
  • On the street, there was a continuous flow of cars passing in different directions.
  • However, Bai Yi noticed that Lin Fan's driving skills were extremely good. Not only was there not a single trace of bumpiness during the drive, but the car was also driven in an unusually fast speed, constantly cutting and speeding through lines of vehicles.
  • The surprise in Bai Yi's beautiful eyes increased more and more.
  • Only then, did she understand that her worthless husband turned out to not be completely worthless.
  • However, little did she know, that the Mercedes-Benz driven by Lin Fan was not only driven with steadiness and speed. He even avoided one after another traffic cameras.
  • Whenever the car entered the camera's filming range, the Mercedes-Benz's license plate was either blocked by the car at the front or blocked by the car behind it, or it entered the blind spot of the camera.
  • An instinctive skill!
  • This was based on Lin Fan's instinctive skill. The reason why he had not driven even once in the past three years, was to cover up his instinctive skill.
  • And now, as long as Lin Fan wanted to, there was simply no camera in the world that could capture his image.
  • The Mercedes-Benz barreled forward as Bai Yi was feeling surprised.
  • However, when they had just stopped at a crossroad, and Bai Yi was about to ask Lin Fan when he had learned to drive, Lin Fan's ear twitched, and his expression changed drastically, "Careful!"
  • As he spoke, Lin Fan immediately slammed on the steering wheel, as the whole Mercedes-Benz made a "creaking" sound. Almost instantly, the car had barreled into the next lane.
  • Meanwhile!
  • Whir!
  • The Lamborghini at the back made a beast-like roar, as it sped hard into the spot where the Mercedes-Benz had just stopped at moments before, scratching a long skid mark.
  • That was close!
  • It was only tenths of a second apart.
  • If Lin Fan had responded just a bit slower, then they would have been smashed hard by that Lamborghini.
  • Knowing the scary amount of force a Lamborghini is capable of, this Mercedes and the two people in the car would surely have been smashed into mincemeat.
  • Even so, Bai Yi's was so terrified by this accident. Her pretty face turned as white as a sheet of paper, as cold sweat cascaded down it.
  • And there was more.
  • What made Lin Fan's face soured was that there were two young men sitting on the Lamborghini. It seemed that their faces were showing a great amount of surprise because they did not crash into the Mercedes-Benz.
  • Right after that, the two men laughed wildly at the Mercedes-Benz, ”Hey! Isn't this Bai Yi, the number one ranking beauty-chairwoman of Jiang City? What do you say? Get off the car and have some fun with us! "
  • "Yeah, tsk tsk... It's no wonder that you're the number one beauty-chairwoman of Jiang City. What an exceptionally lovely face! Come on, us bros will treat you well and we promise to make you feel so good!"
  • Such filthy speech!
  • At this moment, the two young men looked at Bai Yi who was in the Mercedes-Benz. Their faces were full of evilness and vulgarity.
  • "Xu Ziheng! Zhang Tian! "
  • Beside him, Bai Yi's pretty face instantly paled after seeing the two young men.
  • She knew, however, that Xu Ziheng was the young master of Tianlong Group—a corporation leading the three flagship enterprises in Jiang City. He was a second-gen rich coxcomb.
  • These two were known as the two young ruffians of Jiang City.
  • Before this, the two of them had tried very hard to chase after her but they were repeatedly rejected. Never would she expect that they would bump into each other here.
  • And there was more.
  • Xu Ziheng's gaze moved to look at Lin Fan who was in the driver's seat. He couldn't help but be stunned, before having a big sneer appeared on his face, “Hahaha… Bai Yi, is this the worthless husband of yours? Hey, it's rumored that he is a good-for-nothing. Never thought that he could drive. How very unusual. Haha..."
  • Xu Ziheng's speech was filled with sarcastic undertones.
  • And beside him, Zhang Tian also burst out laughing, ”Bai Yi, what do you even like about him? No job. No looks. No skills! Could it be that he is a great performer in bed? Haha..."
  • The eyes of the two young masters were full of jealousy and contempt.
  • In their eyes, only rich young masters like themselves were a good match for women like the goddess Bai Yi. But now, it was apparent that Bai Yi's worth and beauty were wasted on her worthless crap of a husband, Lin Fan.
  • Hearing these humiliating speeches, a trace of icy coldness flashed passed Lin Fan's eyes.
  • Before he even started talking, Bai Yi who was next to Lin Fan quickly persuaded him, "Lin Fan, let's go! Ignore them!"
  • Bai Yi's pretty face was pale, and her expression was filled with worries.
  • Obviously, they could not afford to offend these two young ruffians.
  • Seeing this, Lin Fan could only nod his head. When he saw the green light flashed, he instantly stepped on the accelerator, barreled along in his Mercedes-Benz and drove forward.
  • However, just because they wanted to leave, did not mean that Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian, who were in their Lamborghini, were willing to let the matter drop.
  • "Huh? How dare you try to run away from big old me? Idiots!"
  • As the words dropped, Xu Ziheng sneered and immediately slammed on the accelerator. The Lamborghini was like a flying arrow that was shot off its bow. It made a roaring growl and barreled toward the Mercedes at the front, giving it a quick chase.
  • He happened to be a main member of the Sports Car Race Club. Moreover, he was one of the best racers in the amateur car racing circle in Jiang City.
  • With this imported and modified Lamborghini, it would be a breeze to catch up with a Mercedes-Benz that was driven by a worthless live-in son-in-law.
  • Whir!
  • Almost in the blink of an eye, the Lamborghini was getting closer to the Mercedes.
  • One hundred meters!
  • Fifty!
  • Thirty!
