Xia Liang feigned a sigh and shook his head. Ah, I got too into character. My ability to immerse myself is so good, it's a huge loss to the entertainment industry that I'm not an actor!

Just then, a horn blared from his side. Xia Liang turned to see that the Maybach that should have been behind him had somehow pulled up alongside. The window slowly lowered, and the sunglasses-wearing driver, along with the bridesmaid in the passenger seat, both gave Xia Liang the middle finger. The car then gently accelerated, attempting to overtake him.

Xia Liang raised an eyebrow, a helpless smile on his face.

How strange, he thought. It's like I have some kind of special constitution that makes everyone want to race me. Back when I picked up Ling Ji at Cuiyun Mountain, Blondie couldn't resist chasing me down for a race. Later, when I was rushing the little girl to the hospital, that guy in the Porsche 911 deliberately blocked my path. And now, while I'm just part of a wedding procession, someone in another wedding car insists on provoking me!

Xia Liang couldn't be bothered to respond. To him, it was like a child showing off. It might look fine among kids, but to an "adult" like him, it was just childish and boring. Just then, however, Zhuang Jia asked in confusion, "He's provoking you like that, and you're not going to chase him? You're in a luxury car; can't you outrun him? Then you're not very capable!"

Hearing this, Xia Liang's interest was suddenly piqued. He glanced at Zhuang Jia. "Haven't you heard? You can say anything about a man, except that he's incapable! Fasten your seatbelt, sit tight, and hold on!"

With that, Xia Liang stomped on the accelerator, and his speed instantly surged. The Maybach had just overtaken him, but in a flash, he caught up again, and the two cars were once more driving side by side.

Xia Liang rolled down his window, gave the sunglasses-wearing driver a thumbs-up, and then slowly turned it upside down.

The fledgling smile on the other man's face vanished instantly. His expression darkened, and with a cold snort, he continued to accelerate. As he sped up, Xia Liang matched his pace, deliberately never overtaking him but maintaining the exact same speed. Whenever the man in the sunglasses glanced over, he saw Xia Liang smiling at him—a smile brimming with mockery. The more the man looked, the more infuriated he became, but he was powerless to do anything but floor the accelerator. Xia Liang calmly kept pace, keeping his Hui Teng perfectly parallel with the Maybach.

As a result, the two cars went faster and faster, leaving the rest of the motorcade behind. The bride and groom, sitting in the third car, stared dumbfounded at the two vehicles shrinking in the distance. They exchanged a look, and the bride asked uncertainly, "Is... is this a special racing event you arranged?"

The groom stared blankly ahead and swallowed. "I... don't think so..."

The motorcade had chosen a relatively secluded road with sparse traffic, so Xia Liang and the sunglasses-wearing man quickly picked up speed in their rivalry. However, just as they were about to hit a certain critical speed, Xia Liang suddenly slowed down, allowing the Maybach to continue accelerating and pull ahead.

Seeing this, the driver of the Maybach curled his lips into a smug smirk. He glanced in his rearview mirror, eager to enjoy the sight of Xia Liang's rage. However, Xia Liang wasn't angry or flustered in the slightest. On the contrary, his smile seemed to grow even wider as he pointed ahead, giving the man a... a look of pity?

Pity? A sense of foreboding suddenly gripped the man's heart. He snapped his head forward and saw two traffic cops at the upcoming intersection, waving for him to pull over.

It was only then that he realized—given how hard he'd been accelerating, he was almost certainly speeding! That guy in the Hui Teng obviously knew there were cops ahead, so he deliberately goaded me into speeding! And he slowed down just in time to avoid getting a ticket himself! The fleeting sense of pride shattered into a million pieces, replaced by a surge of boundless rage and frustration. He had the sudden urge to execute a perfect drift, slam the pedal to the floor, and crash right into the silver Hui Teng behind him. But that was just a thought. He didn't have the nerve.

For one, the police are right there, and they've already got me. I don't want to lose my driver's license! If I'm unlucky, I could even get hit with an attempted murder charge. That'd be a ten-year pass to free labor and meals, complete with a pair of silver handcuffs. For another, this Maybach isn't even mine. If it gets damaged—forget a major collision, even a minor scrape—I could never afford to pay for it with my meager savings!

So, bottling up his fury, the man could only obediently pull over for the inspection. As Xia Liang drove past, he slowed down slightly and silently mouthed a single word at him. Though Xia Liang made no sound, the shape of his lips made the highly insulting word easy to recognize.

Moron!

"You motherf—"

The man's angry retort was cut short by a sharp bark from the officer. "You what? You're speeding, and you still have an attitude? License and registration, now! Do you have any idea how dangerous speeding is? You've broken traffic laws and shown a complete lack of respect for your own life and the lives of others! You dare act cocky after I've caught you? Do you want to come back to the station with me for some serious reflection?"

"No, no, no! Officer, please, let me explain..."

Watching the flustered man in the rearview mirror, Xia Liang chuckled softly and glanced at Zhuang Jia. "So? Am I capable or what?"

Zhuang Jia covered her mouth and giggled, nodding. "You are! Very capable!"

"Hahaha!"

Amidst the joyful laughter, the motorcade arrived at the hotel. Xia Liang tapped to complete the order, and the payment was automatically deducted from Zhuang Jia's phone. At the same time, the System's notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the task. Reward: Gene Potion x1, Work Points x40]

Normally, that would have been the end of Xia Liang's task, and he could have left. However, Zhuang Jia was quite enthusiastic, insisting that running into a wedding was a kind of fate. She pulled Xia Liang inside to join the wedding banquet, and during the meal, they casually added each other on WeChat.

After the meal, as the relatives and friends began to leave, Xia Liang went to a nearby bank and withdrew a thousand yuan in cash to give as a wedding gift. After all, accepting a banquet invitation without giving a cash gift would make the meal feel undeserved!

After leaving the hotel, Xia Liang got into his car, opened the app, and continued taking orders.

[Ding! You have received a standard real-time order. Please proceed to...]

Xia Liang glanced at the pickup location, started the car, and drove off. About half an hour later, the order was completed smoothly, with no hidden tasks emerging.

Xia Liang just shook his head, not thinking much of it. He was used to it by now. Since he hadn't received another order yet, he was in no hurry to leave and simply pulled over to the side of the road to rest for a bit.

Just then, a young woman in an ultra-short skirt walked up, casually opened the passenger door, and sat down. She glanced at Xia Liang. "Hey, buddy, you're not very professional. You forgot to put the water bottle on the roof. I wouldn't have gotten in if I hadn't seen you were driving a luxury car and figured you had plenty of money!"

Xia Liang was stunned for a moment before he understood. He explained with a wry smile, "Miss, you've misunderstood. I'm a legitimate ride-hailing driver, not looking for a hookup."

Xia Liang gave her a quick once-over. The woman was indeed quite attractive, with a figure that was, if not excellent, at least well above average.
