"This is just the beginning! Just wait until I lower the convertible top!"

Mushroom-head Uncle, still not one to accept defeat, lowered the top. The SL's speed indeed increased significantly, but whenever Xia Liang leaned forward on his bike, he would leave the SL far behind.

He would then slow down to wait for the car to catch up. After they played this game three times, Mushroom-head Uncle finally admitted defeat.

"The yellow SL and the black motorcycle ahead, please reduce speed and pull over. You are suspected of violating the speed limit..."

"The yellow SL and the... ahead..."

As expected, a police officer on a motorcycle came roaring up behind them. Once both vehicles had pulled over, the officer took out a small notepad and tapped it on the SL's chassis.

"Driver's license, please."

Mushroom-head Uncle didn't waste any words. Speeding didn't cost any demerit points, just a fine, which was a perfect opportunity for him to show off.

He threw out a stack of cash.

"Keep the change, officer. The extra is for you to get some tea."

The girl in the passenger seat giggled and snuggled into Mushroom-head Uncle's arms, which was a huge boost to his ego. The traffic cop, however, didn't touch the stack of money and instead walked toward the motorcycle.

"Please remove your helmet and show me your driver's license."

"Sure thing."

Xia Liang took off his helmet and started patting his pockets. He hadn't paid attention to where he'd stashed his license when he left.

"Mister... Mister Xia?"

The cop's notepad nearly slipped from his hand and fell on his foot.

He must be so famous that people recognize his face from the internet.

"Yes, that's me."

"I'm so sorry! I didn't realize it was you!"

Although Xia Liang didn't recognize him, the cop was certain he'd never forget Xia Liang's face, not even on his dying day. Back when Xia Liang had run a red light with Xiao Qianxi, he had simply smiled at this very traffic cop, a silent signal that the situation was urgent and asking for some leeway.

But at the time, the cop had thought it was a provocation and had told headquarters over the radio that the owner of the black BMW was being extremely arrogant.

Later, at headquarters, the cop saw firsthand how Xia Liang sentenced Jiang Wei's career to death with just a single sentence. He never expected fate to bring them together again.

"Mister Xia, you're free to go."

"Alright then. I'll wire the fine directly to Uncle Yun later. I happen to have his number."

"There is absolutely no need!"

The cop waved his hands repeatedly.

"I implore you, Mister Xia, to forget what just happened. And please don't tell our captain that I stopped you today, I'm begging you!"

"Er..."

After a moment's thought, Xia Liang understood. There must have been some kind of directive from the higher-ups.

"Oh, alright."

Since the other party was insisting, there was no need for him to say anything more.

At that moment, the girl from the SL's passenger seat was getting out of the car, her heels clicking on the pavement. "Hey! Where are you going?" Mushroom-head Uncle called out.

"Where do you think? I'm going to ride with my idol, of course," the girl said disdainfully. "I finally understand something today. Offering money isn't impressive. Making an offer that the other person is too scared to accept—that's true power."

She then trotted over to the Black Knight and made a move to climb on, completely unconcerned about her short skirt fluttering in the process.

"What are you doing?" Xia Liang stopped her.

"I want a ride on my idol's motorcycle, of course! You wouldn't refuse a sincere request from a young girl, would you?" she asked, her eyes sparkling.

Xia Liang just shook his head.

"Nope, you're too heavy."

"I only weigh 99 pounds! How can I be heavy?"

The girl elegantly twirled on the spot, deliberately puffing out her chest to show off her impressive assets.

Xia Liang laughed.

"Of course you're heavy. This is a motorcycle, it's not built to pull a bus."

"A bus? What do you mean?" The girl was utterly confused.

PFFT!

The nearby cop couldn't hold back his laughter and quickly gestured.

"Mister Xia, please continue. Just pretend I'm not here."

Xia Liang shook his head and sighed. I'm being so blunt and she still doesn't get it.

A notification pinged on his phone. "New Ride Request: From the main entrance of Qingyun High-Speed Train Station to Flower City. Please accept the order promptly."

Hearing the alert, Xia Liang stopped wasting time. He put on his helmet and sped off, leaving behind a pensive cop, a bewildered girl, and a jealous uncle.

"Why would he say a motorcycle can't pull a bus? My idol is so weird," the girl muttered to herself.

「Qingyun High-Speed Train Station」

Arriving at the designated spot, Xia Liang prepared to wait for his first passenger of the day. He was a little nervous. It was his first time giving a ride on his motorcycle, and he really hoped it wasn't an elderly person. That would be tricky.

Then again, an elderly person probably wouldn't order a motorcycle ride anyway, he thought, watching the passengers hustle and bustle around him.

Even though the Black Knight's appearance was stunning, people were too busy to spectate for long. The pace of life was just too fast.

Just then, Xia Liang noticed a teenager behind a newsstand. The boy, who looked about seventeen or eighteen, was leaning against it and wiping away tears as if he'd just lost his wallet.

DING! The teenager's phone chimed with a notification. "Your vehicle has arrived at the pickup location. Please board promptly."

Wait, another weird passenger? Looks like this is my next mission!

Xia Liang got off the Black Knight and walked over. "Hey, bro. I'm the driver you ordered. What's with all the tears?"

The youth's face was still soft with naivety, clearly unweathered by the trials of the real world. He probably just graduated, since the college entrance exams ended not too long ago.

"Big bro! Please help me!"

The moment the youth realized who Xia Liang was, he slid forward on his knees and hugged his leg.

"Whoa, whoa, I can't help you with that! I'm not holding anything for you."

Xia Liang frowned. The kid looks like an addict jonesing for a fix. Better keep my distance.

"No, big bro, I don't do drugs," the teenager sobbed, wiping his tears. "It's my girlfriend! She just left on the high-speed train! Now that she's gone, I might never see her again in my life!"

Xia Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, so it's just a young couple's quarrel. Why so dramatic, acting like someone died?

"So you broke up, big deal. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Finish with one, move on to the next. You need to look at the world with a heart full of love. Learn from me. I never get hung up on one person. Student girls, female secret agents... I'll take anyone who comes my way."
