However, Wan Shuang was bolder and more confident than Su Jun. She didn’t want to participate in a boring cat and mouse chase such as this. What she wanted was an absolute landslide of a victory.
This was part of her training when she was in the army. Wan Shuang focused her vision and turned the steering wheel fiercely, rushing straight toward a steep hill.
Lu Liang, who was at the top of the mountain observing the entire race through binoculars, was stunned. ‘Wan Shuang dares to rush toward a steep hill at such speeds?’
The windows of the off-road vehicle constantly brushed past all kinds of shrubs and bushes that were as tall as a person. Wan Shuang was able to identify the path ahead using gaps between the branches and the surrounding light even though the race took place in such an environment.
She had never been to this mountain before, so she knew nothing about its paths. Wan Shuang only relied on her instinct and quick judgment to navigate the mountain path.
Wan Shuang’s field of vision suddenly became clearer. She seemed to have heard the sounds of what appeared to be a river. The waves crashed against the rocks, splashing around vigorously.
Just as she suspected, there was a small river ahead. As Wan Shuang made some quick judgments, a dense patch of grass appeared, and a small river more than three meters wide could be seen directly in front of her.
Not only did Wan Shuang not slow down, but a sense of excitement appeared in her eyes. Wan Shuang considered this type of situation an appetizer when she was training in the army!
Wan Shuang stepped on the accelerator as hard as she could, causing the vehicle to jump onto the rocks by the river. The vehicle passed through the river and landed steadily on the other side.
Su Jun was still racing through the winding mountain path, and after two to three minutes, there were still no signs of Wan Shuang catching up. Su Jun sighed at Wan Shuang’s driving skills. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and sped up even more.
The end of the mountain was just ahead. When Su Jun reached a corner, he could even see the red flag at the end. At that moment, there were no signs of Wan Shuang at all.
“Looks like I’ll have to keep searching for a chauffeur for Su Su,” Su Jun muttered in a low voice. Just as he was about to pass through a dark forest, a vehicle suddenly jumped out from the right. Su Jun was so shocked that he immediately stepped on the brakes.
Screech!
The sound of tires screeching and brakes grinding could be heard. Su Jun’s vehicle almost made a complete turn before finally stopping.
Su Jun rolled down the window and saw Wan Shuang coming out of the vehicle with a proud and provocative smile on her face. She seemed to be holding something pink in her hand as well.
“I’m sorry, Boss. Did I scare you?”
Wan Shuang winked and smiled. Then she threw the thing that she was holding to Su Jun. “You were too slow, and I had nothing to do, so I picked some peaches. Try it. It’s quite sweet.”
Taking the peaches from Wan Shuang, Su Jun stroked the furry surface of the peaches. There was a smile on his face as he praised sincerely, “You did great.”
“Of course I am. Pressure makes diamonds, and without the training I received in the army, I wouldn’t have dared to take this job,” Wan Shuang smiled and said straightforwardly.
On the way back, Wan Shuang couldn’t suppress her curiosity, so she turned her head to look at Su Jun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and asked, “Boss, what do you do for a living? Are you the leader of an underworld gang in the Golden Triangle or some sort of government spy?”
‘What kind of person is Su Jun? Why does he need an army veteran like me to drive him around?
Su Jun shook his head and said, “I’m not involved in either of those things. The Su Corporation is a legitimate business. We deal with businesses like real estate, hotels, and shopping malls.”
“Huh?” Wan Shuang was stunned for a moment and then asked, “Then what do you need me to do other than drive you around?”
‘Is Su Jun thinking of asking me to kill his enemies, kidnap competitors, collect debts, and so on? These are all illegal actions.’
Feeling Wan Shuang’s worry, Su Jun couldn’t help but laugh. He asked, “Didn’t Lu Liang tell you?”
“Y-Yes! He told me that I would be a personal chauffeur in charge of driving a child around and at the same time ensure the child’s safety.” Wan Shuang continued while she was focused on driving, “He offered me the salary of an assassin, but in the end, he said that I would be a personal chauffeur, so I didn’t believe him.”
Seeing that Su Jun was amused by what she was saying, Wan Shuang continued, “The last time I went for an interview, I was offered a similarly high salary. But my job was to be the boss’s mistress. He said that all I had to do was wait around in his house all day and be pampered. I was so offended that I beat him up left.”
Su Jun smiled as he asked, “Aren’t you worried that I would ask you to do those things as well?”
Wan Shuang looked at Su Jun with a serious expression on her face and answered honestly, “I considered that.. I thought that if you were to ask me to do the same thing, it would be beneficial to me, so I would just agree and do it.”
