Chapter 282
But right at this moment, a huge stone rolled down from a nearby slope and landed on the road.
Erik Yin, who was chasing after Master Xie, was shocked by this. He quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid the stone.
However, the village road was very narrow. Now, the rain was so heavy and the road was wet and slippery. The car swerved violently, and the tires slid on the ground. Erik lost control of the car and it began to tilt sideways.
They were about to go off course from the road. Although there was no cliff here, there was a trench there, and the depth was more than one meter. If they turned over and fell into the trench, someone would definitely get hurt.
At this time, Erik and Lara Yin panicked, and they cried out in horror.
At this critical moment, Fade Chen leaned forward from the back seat. He grabbed the steering wheel firmly with both hands. He began to fight back with all his strength, and he regained control of the car.
Therefore, in the heavy rain, the Jeep, which was almost slanted at 45 degrees, made a perfect turn on the wet slippery ground with two wheels. Finally, it passed the stone and returned smoothly to the ground again.
Lara and Erik could not help but heave a sigh of relief. They almost shouted till their throats were hoarse, but now they stifled their screams.
They were relieved, but they immediately discovered that the situation was perilous.
Master Xie's car was in front of them, and it might have hit a stone or fell in a pothole, the car was swaying and sliding around the road. It was about to lose control.
Their Jeep was just behind Master Xie's car. At this time, it was too late to slow down. They were about to hit Master Xie's car.
Immediately, the siblings were scared again.
Fade steadied the steering wheel with both hands and stared at the luxury car in front of him. Then he made judgements on the speed of the car and did not slow down at all. Instead, he slammed on the accelerator.
Seeing this, the Yin siblings were shocked, and their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.
Erik couldn't help shouting for him to be careful. Lara also shouted, "Don't crash into Master Xie's car. Turn the steering wheel. Stay away, stay away from it! Otherwise, we will all be in trouble."
Fade didn't know what Lara was thinking. If he turned the steering wheel, wouldn't he go off the highway into the field below? At such a life- and- death moment, she was still thinking about how to please Master Xie, and completely ignoring herself and her family members.
Ignoring Lara's cries, Fade's eyes were like torches, and his hands were steady. He controlled the steering wheel and aimed at the tracks of Master Xie's car. In a moment, the Jeep raced along in a straight line, rushing straight toward Master Xie's car. Unexpectedly, he overtook Master Xie's car on the narrow village road.
Moreover, when he overtook the car, the Jeep gently scraped the side of Master Xie's car. The force was not strong, but it gave Master Xie's car a push, which caused the car to become stable.
Therefore, while the Yin siblings were in shock, the two cars that were in danger were stabilized.
Erik immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He looked excitedly at Fade and said, "Brother Chen, your skills are amazing! In such a situation, you actually stabilized our car and overtook the other car. At
such a high level, you are almost as good as a professional racer. Brother Chen, do you usually drive race cars?"
This group of rich young people, including Erik, did not have much enthusiasm for auto racing. If they were fond of cars, they would not drive out for a barbecue and camping.
Realizing Fade's skills in auto racing, Erik became excited. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Fade smiled and said nothing. But Lara clutched her younger brother and shouted, "That wasn't skills! Do you know how dangerous that was just now?"
Fade was a little speechless."You forced your own brother to speed up just now! If he had driven slowly, you wouldn't be in this type of danger," he thought to himself.
Erik also felt a little embarrassed and quickly said to his sister, "Sister, I was out of control just now and almost overturned the car. What does that have to do with Brother Chen? On the contrary, Brother Chen saved us. If we didn't let him do that, we might have broken our bones."
Her younger brother's words caused Lara to be rather dissatisfied. She frowned and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about him overtaking Master Xie."
"You know who that was, that was Master Xie. He's the eldest son of the Xie family. Are you doing as well as him? Why did you overtake him and show off your skills?" Lara scolded him.
Hearing what she said, Fade's face fell. Erik quickly tried to clarify the situation.
Lara interrupted her brother and glared at him, saying, "Don't speak. I'm worried for you. Don't you know what's good for you? Are you aware of Master Xie's status? You overtook him, which is a slap in his face. If you don't show him some respect, you won't be in his inner circle in the future. We won't get along well with the Xie family then. Didn't you see that other people didn't overtake him?
Are they really not good at driving? They were showing respect to Master Xie, allowing him to be the first car in line. This was the right thing to do."
Erik wasn't thinking so much about these matters and he was stunned by his sister's words. "Sister, it's just a matter of overtaking his car. It's not as serious as you think!"
"Not as serious as I think? If you don't think of such things, how can you be in his inner circle? This social circle is built on respect and honor. For rich people like Master Xie, you have to pay attention to them all the time. Don't cause them to be angry, don't show off in front of them, and don't even..."
Hearing Lara's words, Fade was speechless.
Lara acted like she was possessed by the devil. Just for the so-called relationships and flattery of the rich and powerful, the safety of her family had become a secondary matter. Instead, she thought that the first thing they should consider was whether they had offended the rich young master. This was quite ridiculous indeed.
Therefore, Fade coughed and explained, "The reason why I overtook him was that it was too late to slow down. If I slowed down the car, it was very likely that it would slid and this would cause the car to topple over, and it would also cause a chain reaction with the cars behind us. Therefore, at that time, the only way for us was to overtake him. Doing that, the car would be stable and safe."
Hearing Fade's explanation, Erik nodded quickly and he said, "Sister, you see, Brother Chen's words are reasonable indeed. He is also thinking of our safety. Besides, nothing happened to any of us right?"
Lara's face fell, and she said unhappily, "What do you mean nothing happened? When you overtook him just now, you hit Master Xie's car. If this isn't a serious matter, I don't know what is."
Immediately, Lara looked at Fade and said coldly, "There is a hotel in front of us. Stop the car there later. Please go and apologize to Master Xie, and tell him that you were the driver. Don't get us into trouble."
