Chapter 308: Chapter 316: Drifting Minivan

"There are two police cars chasing us from behind, and two private cars as well. It looks like they’re also after us," Lin Qiong kept her eyes on the rearview mirror as she alerted Li Yifei.

Li Yifei was handling the police van, and although he couldn’t shake off those vehicles right away, they also couldn’t catch up to him immediately. This gave Lin Qiong a brief sigh of relief, but her brows were still furrowed with worry—where should they run to under these circumstances?

"Right, the person you reached out to just now, can they really help us?"

"Absolutely, just relax. As long as we can avoid being caught by them for now, we’ll be out of trouble soon."

Despite some doubts about Li Yifei’s words, Lin Qiong had no choice but to trust him unconditionally at that moment.

At an intersection, the van turned right onto Youth Street. Li Yifei scanned the area, searching for Su Mengxin’s Porsche. He quickly spotted it. The Porsche was speeding from the opposite direction, with its roof completely down, carrying three people—Su Mengxin’s bodyguards.

As the two cars passed each other, Li Yifei raised his hand, poised to drop a package onto the other car. Neither vehicle slowed down during the exchange, and everyone except Lin Qiong and Meng Xiaofei failed to see Li Yifei toss something out.

Watching the package be thrown away stirred an indescribable feeling inside Lin Qiong. It was evidence they had painstakingly acquired, and now it was entrusted to someone unknown. How could she feel at ease about this?

At that moment, Meng Xiaofei wasn’t concerned about the importance of the item. She turned to look at the pursuing police cars, excitedly shouting, "Brother Li, speed up, faster! Let’s lose them."

"Aren’t you scared anymore? You seem quite excited," Li Yifei asked Meng Xiaofei with a smile.

Meng Xiaofei giggled and said, "Not scared. This kind of highway chase is something you’d only see in movies, and now I’m experiencing it firsthand. It’s incredibly thrilling and satisfying. If I tell others about this, how much face will I gain!"

Lin Qiong’s face darkened. Meng Xiaofei turned a dangerous situation into a game, and Lin Qiong didn’t know what to say to her.

"Damn it, the fuel light’s on," Li Yifei suddenly announced, causing Lin Qiong and Meng Xiaofei considerable dismay.

"What do we do now?" Lin Qiong panicked.

"What else can we do? While there’s still some fuel left, we run as far as we can. We can’t really go refuel, can we?"

Li Yifei said this while fiercely stepping on the gas, making the van surge forward. The police cars and private vehicles behind them hastily accelerated as well, ensuring that Li Yifei still couldn’t shake them off.

At another intersection, Li Yifei decelerated slightly, and the cars behind quickly closed in. But just as they were about to catch up, Li Yifei suddenly slammed on the brakes and floored the gas, turning the steering wheel sharply. The van drifted dramatically, taking a left onto a highway.

"Damn, drifting with a van? That guy is insane."

The police cars and private vehicles all overshot, ending up on the opposite side of the road. By the time they managed to turn around, Li Yifei’s van had vanished without a trace. This left the drivers utterly speechless. It’s one thing to be able to drift, but using a van is another—after all, few people could manage that since vans are tall and top-heavy, making them prone to tipping over during a drift.

"Wow, Brother Li, you’re just too cool. Drifting and losing them just like that," Meng Xiaofei exclaimed.

Lin Qiong couldn’t help but admire Li Yifei’s capabilities the more she got to know him. She used to think that in a fight, he was about the same level as her, perhaps just slightly better. But today she realized he was far superior. And driving a tanker, to be able to pull off drifting maneuvers like this, she wondered where he had learned such skills. Could military service really turn someone into a decathlete?

"You still need to figure something out. There are surveillance cameras on the streets, and although we’ve temporarily lost them, our vehicle is still on camera. So, they’ll quickly find out where we are," Lin Qiong said.

Li Yifei nodded, "I know, this is just a temporary respite. We’ll get off the road up ahead."

Approaching a small intersection, Li Yifei quickly steered onto it, then swerved into a narrow alley before bringing the van to a stop.

The three of them got out of the car quickly, but Li Yifei didn’t lead them forward; instead, he took them back not far, and turned into a residential district, taking so many turns that Lin Qiong and Meng Xiaofei felt totally disoriented.

However, Lin Qiong understood that Li Yifei’s actions made perfect sense. The car was parked there, and conventional thinking would be to run forward, but they did just the opposite. Moreover, the routes Li Yifei chose were all avoiding the surveillance cameras on the streets, making them undetectable even by Mile City’s citywide surveillance system.

Qian Wanjun was furious at this moment. His smuggling syndicate had grown into a tightly-knit network over the years, earning him profits well over two hundred million a year. Of course, he had to grease various palms, and in the end, if he could keep one hundred million, that was about right.

Qian Wanjun was shrewd. To make money long-term, those overseeing him, those who helped him, needed to benefit. So, when it came time to throw money at his superiors, he was never stingy, and he was also generous in sharing profits with his subordinates. Hence, his business in the industry was stable—protected by people above, with many loyal subordinates willing to risk their lives for him.

If there was any hint of trouble, he was informed early on so he could evade danger. But this time, the knowledge that a police officer had gone undercover, and after some digging, discovering it was a solo act, made him so angry he felt like his lungs would explode.

As angry as he was, he didn’t panic. Just a lowly cop, after all—he had so many connections, any one of which outranked Lin Qiong, the police station chief. He had already notified his contacts in the Public Security Bureau, who said they’d handle it immediately, ensuring the situation would be contained, and that cyber police were constantly monitoring the internet, ready to delete any related information the moment it appeared.

Moreover, his subordinates were also making every effort to capture Lin Qiong and Li Yifei, so he simply couldn’t believe that a small police station chief and a lad could topple his empire.

Qian Wanjun, having weathered many storms, was methodical in his dealings and now felt everything was under his control. Once he captured Lin Qiong and Li Yifei, he’d make sure they understood just how pitiful it was to cross him.

However, the information from his men annoyed him—they had lost track of their targets, and even the police force had temporarily lost sight of them.

"I’ll tear this place apart if I have to, but I will dig you out," Qian Wanjun said venomously as he slammed the ashtray onto the ground, his eyes flashing a terrifying cold light.

At that time, Li Yifei, together with Lin Qiong and Meng Xiaofei, had already found a place to hide. However, they weren’t in any bushes or other obscure spots, nor in a hotel, but rather had slipped into a newly built residential community.

This community had only been handing out keys for two or three months, and most of the apartments were newly decorated, with hardly any occupants yet. The trio found one apartment, and Li Yifei easily opened the door. Inside, he found the place quite nice—with floors and other basics in place, only lacking furniture and appliances.

Li Yifei looked around the room and said with a smile, "Not bad. There’s water, a toilet, so no problem going to the bathroom. No shower though, and no beds. Looks like the three of us will be sleeping on the floor tonight."

Seeing how relaxed Li Yifei was, Meng Xiaofei wasn’t worried either and even took the time to admire and comment on the apartment’s decor.

But Lin Qiong, at that moment, couldn’t be so carefree. She asked, "Li Yifei, can the person you gave those things to really help us solve our current problem?"

"Of course they can, don’t worry. By the way, have you and Xiaofei turned off your cell phones? We don’t want to be traced by our location."

Lin Qiong was startled and hurriedly turned off her phone. Meng Xiaofei obediently did the same. Seeing Li Yifei also turn off his phone, Lin Qiong, frowning, said, "You turned off your phone too. How will that person contact you if they need to?"

"It’s late. He’s not going to sort this out now. It can wait until tomorrow morning. We should just get some good sleep and wait for news from those people tomorrow," Li Yifei said as he already lay down on the floor.

Lin Qiong’s mouth twitched as she sat next to Li Yifei, nudging his shoulder, "I just don’t feel at ease. What exactly does the person you’re relying on do?"

Li Yifei chuckled, "My background is pretty powerful, you know. Even the mayor has to treat me with respect. It’ll be easy to solve with just anybody I call."

Lin Qiong knew Li Yifei wasn’t willing to reveal more, and she felt somewhat displeased. After all, she had been intimately involved with him, and yet he still kept secrets from her.

Su Mengxin didn’t want to publicize her identity in Mile City. Aside from a few key city leaders, no one else knew she was there, so Li Yifei couldn’t just casually reveal Su Mengxin’s identity. If he wanted to be high-profile about it, he could’ve easily called the mayor or gone directly to Su Mengxin to see who dared to arrest them.

There was also another thing: Li Yifei was teaching Lin Qiong a lesson. Lin Qiong, the policewoman, was indeed a justice-driven officer, but she was far from mature in her actions, impulsive with just her passion. This experience was meant to teach her that it’s not just about being headstrong, and could hopefully make her policing more savvy in the future.

Unaware of Li Yifei’s intentions, Lin Qiong sat there brooding.
