Chapter 129: Ferocious Bird's Descent

  Nanshan International Convention and Exhibition Center has more than 1,000 standard booths. This auto show, almost every manufacturer occupies tens or even dozens of booths. In addition to building a specially designed booth with its own unique style, each manufacturer also set up an off-road performance test drive challenge venue. These venues are mostly using obstacles to highlight the off-road performance of the vehicles. Although these challenge venues are similar, only one can catch people's attention - the challenge venue designed and built by Ford F-150 Raptor.

  The site area is at least one thousand square meters, of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that this site is completely built in mid-air, all obstacles and even real terrain are fully utilized by steel structure welding, the entire site uses four lifting devices to control rising or falling.

  At this time, a black Ford Mustang had stopped on the lift, which was not an ordinary flat surface, but a slope with an angle of at least thirty degrees. Moreover, there was a step-like obstacle with a height of at least fifty centimeters in front of the car's front wheels.

  Since entering the driving position inside the elevator, Mo Xiuyao's mood has been excited and unbearable. Next to her was a fully armed driver because this car was specially designed for the auto show. Not only can the driver operate directly, but even the person sitting in the co-pilot seat can perform simple braking operations. This is also a thoughtful design to ensure safety.

  "Boom!!" Chu Yan stood in the crowd, his attention not on the slowly rising elevator, but his gaze was always scanning around the Ford Mustang's booth. Leng Fox and Teng Baihe, who were standing next to him, couldn't help but feel a little curious about Chu Yan, who seemed to be looking around everywhere. If Chu Yan really had a romantic relationship with Mo Xiuyao, then this man seemed too unconcerned about his woman's safety. Although this test drive was unlikely to have any danger, there was still a possibility of an accident. This man didn't focus on the situation at hand, but instead looked around below, what was he looking for?

  "Hey, what are you looking around for? Your woman is upstairs, why aren't you looking up there, but instead looking down here?" Linghu Lan's question got a nod of agreement from Teng Baihe. Meanwhile, the Ford Mustang's robust body, as tough as an armored vehicle, had already begun its journey, and the engine's deafening roar sounded especially domineering in this space.

  "I'm looking for someone, someone who wants to harm Mo Xi Yao, so you two continue watching, don't disturb me." Chu Yan said, his gaze falling on the Volvo booth diagonally opposite the Ford booth. This time, Volvo's main model at the auto show was the Volvo XC90. Although Ford had long since acquired Volvo, this auto show adopted a model exhibition approach, and it was not required that the brands be together.

  "Nonsense, not worth arguing with you." Leng Fox Lan naturally wouldn't believe Chu Yan's words, while Teng Baihe glanced at Chu Yan and her expression seemed thoughtful. She felt that Chu Yan didn't seem to be talking nonsense, and her gaze followed Chu Yan's direction, looking over the crowd, where apart from a few scantily clad women, there didn't seem to be anyone suspicious.

  "Boom!! Wow, our test driver has already challenged the third part, and this part should be relatively easy. This continuous five-ring mountain road will let us see how long it takes her to complete! Behind the Ford Mustang's exhibition stage is a 4-meter-high and 8-meter-wide LED screen. The images played on the screen are from two cameras installed in front of the test vehicle, as well as two cameras inside the car aimed at the driver and passenger seats. The four cameras keep switching between shots, and while Mo Xi-yao is challenging, the big screen is doing a live broadcast."

  Mo Xi Yao's face was excited on the screen, and the six-speed automatic transmission made her driving much easier. The driver sitting next to her had no expression on his face, but when Mo Xi Yao drove these two fierce birds to the fourth part, this driver finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

  "You guys stay here, I'll go out for a bit. Also, take good care of Mo Xi Yao." After saying this, Chu Yan squeezed out of the crowd amidst Ling Hu Lan's confusion and rushed towards the Volvo booth diagonally across from them.

  In the crowd, although people were swarming around, Chu Yan still spotted a shiny bald head. Although he didn't see the face of that bald head, it seemed that there weren't many people who shaved their heads these days, so Chu Yan had to go over and confirm, otherwise, his heart wouldn't be at ease.

  "Hey, where are you going?" Soon, Chu Yan walked to the back of the bald man, who seemed to want to leave and quickened his pace. In the end, Chu Yan had no choice but to shout loudly, and the bald man simply ran away without looking back from start to finish. Chu Yan had to step up his pace to chase after him.

  Three minutes later, Chu Yan finally caught up with the bald man in the crowd and slapped him on the shoulder, pulling him over. However, when the bald man turned around, Chu Yan saw a strange face, and this strange face was filled with fear.

  "What are you running for?" Chu Yan knew that this little guy was probably doing something wrong, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous. Taking a closer look, the little guy's chest was bulging, as if hiding something. Before Chu Yan could reach out to search him, the little guy himself took the initiative and threw a handful of high-end mobile phones into Chu Yan's chest, then turned around and ran away in a flash, disappearing from sight.

  "And let him run away again!! This bastard!" Just as Chu Yan was standing there, pondering whether to continue chasing, two young men in very clean clothes ran up from behind. The two people came to Chu Yan's side, showed their ID cards, and after asking Chu Yan a few questions, they took away all the mobile phones.

  "Plainclothes police." Chu Yan looked at the two people leaving, smiled and muttered a sentence, then suddenly remembered that he was chasing after the bald man, now it seemed like five minutes had already passed, he must go back immediately, otherwise it would be hard to predict what would happen.

  At first, Chu Yan rushed back to the auto show hall in a hurry. At the entrance of the hall, among the crowd of reporters, a young man with a clear and handsome face raised his large camera and took many photos of Chu Yan at once. After that, he hung the camera around his neck with a cold smile and walked towards the Ford Mustang's test drive challenge area.

  "What did you go for?" Chu Yan returned to Ling Hu Lan and Teng Baihe's side, and Ling Hu Lan asked with some confusion.

  "He's gone to catch a thief." Chu Yan's response was so realistic that it made Lian feel like he was being ridiculous. Catching a thief? He wasn't even a cop! What was the point of catching some petty thief, anyway? Why not just enjoy the car show instead of getting mixed up in all this nonsense?

  This time, it's not just Leng Fox who doesn't believe it, even the usually credulous Teng Baihe doesn't believe it. This answer is simply too lame, and even saying "I'm going to the bathroom" would be better than this.

  "Isn't serving the people a good thing?" Chu Yan looked at the two little girls in front of him who didn't believe him and couldn't help but add another sentence. At the same time, Mo Xiuyao had already completed all the challenges in the 8.5-meter high air. In the next five minutes, the car would stay up there and then slowly fall back to the ground. Of course, the landing process wouldn't be that simple, because four lifting devices were set up to control the entire challenge site. So during the time the car returned to the ground, the four lifting devices would continuously adjust their descent speed, and the Ford Mustang would return to the ground amidst bumps and ups and downs.

  "Cut!" Teng Baihe was too lazy to care about Chu Yan, while Linghu Lan simply raised a middle finger.

  "OK!! Our challenger has successfully completed all the challenges, and in the next five minutes, the challenger will have one minute to take a photo with our new car model in the challenge area. One minute later, prepare for landing, please get ready, aerial instructor. One minute later, start landing."

  The host is a model, wearing a white mini skirt, with two long legs wearing a pair of red high heels, standard model attire.

  "I hope nothing goes wrong." For some reason, Chu Yan had been feeling uneasy since entering this exhibition hall. He didn't like this feeling at all, because he couldn't grasp where the unease was coming from, and this sense of being completely unguarded made him feel as if he was powerless against what was about to happen.

  His gaze fell on Mo Xiuyao in the air, at this time Mo Xiuyao had finished taking a group photo with the car and the driving instructor, and sat back in the car. As the host's countdown began, Chu Yan suddenly discovered a gaze full of hostility in the crowd, and the source of this gaze was one of the four lifting devices, which was the operating platform behind the lifting system at the northeast corner.

  "Descent begins!" With the host's command, the four elevators started descending according to the pre-arranged program. The 8.5-meter height would normally take only a dozen seconds to descend to the ground, but due to the design of the final show, this 8.5-meter distance required a full three minutes and forty seconds to complete!

  "Whoa!!" A shocking sound, opened the curtain of this landing, the entire track suspended in mid-air suddenly tilted downwards by at least fifteen degrees to the northwest corner, Mo Xi Yao and the driver grabbed the car's handlebars, the massive body of the sports car although tilted by fifteen degrees, but still firmly stopped on top, the body under the light, as stable as Mount Tai, domineering and overbearing!

  "Whoosh!" Then the second elevator also started to descend, but at an angle of about ten degrees. The hawk remained stable on top. Next, the other two elevators began to slowly lower their height, each time controlling the angle between ten and fifteen degrees. This amplitude had no effect on the hawk!

  One and a half minutes later, the altitude had dropped to about six meters. The unease in Chu Yan's mind grew stronger, while the person who had been staring at him also shifted his attention to the car in mid-air. He raised the camera on his chest and took continuous shots of the car. Just as he was taking pictures, Chu Yan noticed that the young man's mouth suddenly curled up into a sinister arc!!

  "Bastard! It's him!!" With a start, Chu Yan instantly grabbed the source of the unease in his heart. At the first moment he confirmed the source, Chu Yan pushed through the crowd towards the person dressed as a reporter. Just as Chu Yan had squeezed out less than ten meters, a shrill cry suddenly rang out from the crowd.

  "Whoa!!" At the same time, one of the lifting systems seemed to have malfunctioned, instantly tilting the Challenge Arena, which had already descended to about five meters, by a full sixty degrees!! And this was just the beginning. Before the screams from the crowd could even pierce people's eardrums, the Ford Mustang, which had been stationary and stable, suddenly plummeted vertically downwards from a height of four and a half meters!!
