Volume 1 Return Chapter 130 Brake Failure
"Boom!!" A loud noise echoed through the car show hall, a huge black Ford Mustang fell directly from a height of over 4 meters, with its two front wheels touching the ground first, followed by the rear wheels. The loud noise immediately focused everyone's attention in the car show hall on the Ford Mustang's booth!
"Yu Yao!" Chu Yan was the first to rush into the arena, and the massive Ford F-650 fell from a height of four meters fifty. The impact force brought by this giant weighing over three tons was exceptionally strong. What's surprising and unexpected is that the host and the staff of the Ford F-650 seemed to have no expression of surprise at all, but instead were appreciating the stunned expressions of the onlookers at this moment.
Chu Yan rushed to the front of the car, while Mo Xi Yao inside seemed a bit overexcited, unfastened her seatbelt and then pushed open the door, amazingly emerging without a scratch. On the other side, the fully armed driver also smiled and bowed to the surrounding crowd!!!
"Yuxiao, are you okay?" Chu Yan's concern was completely genuine. So far, Chu Yan had also realized that this unexpected event seemed to be specially designed by the people of Ford Mustang. It had to be said that their idea was indeed surprising, but there was one thing that made Chu Yan very unhappy - using the test driver's safety as an experiment seemed a bit excessive.
Chu Yan's dissatisfaction quickly dissipated, because he also saw a few unusual expressions on Mo Xi Yao's face. This little girl, although her chest was heaving violently, was absolutely not the kind of person who would be afraid or panicked. If Chu Yan wasn't mistaken, it was possible that Mo Xi Yao had actually known about this beforehand!!!
"It's nothing, I'm fine. This matter will be explained later, it's simply too strong. I'll go book one first and then chat with you." Mo Xi Yao's mind was not on Chu Yan at all. The thrill of the straight drop and the sense of security when landing had made her focus entirely on this car now.
After Mo Xiuyao rushed into Liu Yang's arms and hugged her excitedly, the cowboy reappeared, taking Mo Xiuyao with him into the reception area. Meanwhile, a professional inspection team had conducted a rigorous on-site examination of the bird that had fallen from the sky, and the final result was that it was completely unharmed!!!
"The new generation of high-strength steel body, the all-in-one off-road vehicle, brings you not only the thrill of conquering the wilderness but also an unexpected level of safety performance that will leave you speechless. I believe you've already witnessed its strength and superiority with your own eyes. Now, let's take a break from the tension and enjoy a dance performance." The host finished speaking and stepped down from the stage, as six dancers took to the stage amidst the strong rhythmic music.
"I was scared to death! Fortunately, Liu Yang had greeted us before, otherwise I would have thought that Xi Yao would have problems this time!" Teng Baihe and Ling Hu Lan said, glancing at Chu Yan with a playful expression in their eyes.
Although nothing really happened to Mo Xi Yao, Chu Yan's heart was still filled with a tense feeling. This tension wasn't the kind that came from fear or guilt, but rather the kind that was tinged with excitement, because he hadn't been so fully focused on protecting someone's safety in a long time. This kind of life, actually, he still missed it quite a bit.
"Liu Yang, I have a question for you, and you must answer truthfully. This is very important." Chu Yan came closer to Liu Yang, his face very serious, while Liu Yang nodded in agreement. Chu Yan's behavior just now had already gained her approval, being able to be so tense about his good friend showed that Mo Xi Yao's vision was not bad, having picked a man with high marks.
"What's the predetermined height of that high-altitude fall?" Chu Yan was most concerned about this, because in the moment of the fall, Mo Xiuyao's face had a hint of unexpectedness. This unexpected expression was clearly visible on the big screen to Chu Yan, obviously, Mo Xiuyao hadn't made preparations for the fall at this height, which means that this pre-arranged accidental fall actually still had some coincidental factors involved.
"Hmm, this..." Chu Yan's question actually touched on some business secrets. If it were an ordinary person asking, Liu Yang would have definitely told them that the set height was four and a half meters. This unexpected drop was quite successful, but Chu Yan's identity was different - at least in Liu Yang's eyes, Chu Yan's identity was somewhat special. So, although this question was difficult to answer, she didn't immediately deny it on the spot. However, her hesitation had already given away the answer to Chu Yan.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else because it's related to Xiuyao's safety, so I have to be more careful. Her recent situation is a bit complicated and I hope you can help me figure this out." Although he already had an answer in his mind, Chuyan still needed to hear it from Liu Yang's mouth to make a more reasonable assessment.
"Alright, the free fall was originally set at a height of three meters, but due to an error in the lifting control program, it fell prematurely. The height of four meters and fifty centimeters was unexpected, but fortunately, this specially made car for this auto show withstood the test successfully, which is actually a good thing for us. However, I want to remind you that if this car were to be launched in Asia, its safety performance would not be in question, but it would absolutely not have the same safety performance as this car today. You should be able to guess the reason why. Anyway, I still have things to attend to, so go keep Evening Yao company." Liu Yang said with a smile and turned to leave, while Chu Yan's mind once again conjured up the image of the young man holding a camera.
His line of sight swept through the crowd in a circle, and that young man holding a camera had long since disappeared.
It's unexpected, not a coincidence, things are getting more interesting.
Another person on Chu Yan's blacklist has appeared, although there was no direct contact, but Chu Yan had a relatively reliable guess about the identity of that young man, who is Wu Chuan Long Er, a Japanese Iga ninja, because the identity of the throat cutter is Russian, and the identity of the dark walker Selos is also basically confirmed to be a foreigner, so only Wu Chuan Long Er is left.
He couldn't get a good look at the young man's face, so Chu Yan could only make an educated guess. If he could see the young man again, he would be able to confirm his identity once and for all. After all, among the information provided by Wan Cai Ni, only one person had a frontal photo, while the other two were just basic profiles without any photos. As for the Throat Slasher, although there were many photos, none of them shared any similarities, so they could be basically ignored. As for the Dark Walker, this guy seemed to be even more mysterious, with no photos at all, only a large number of possible murder cases that might be related to him.
"We must find and take out Wu Chuan Long Er as soon as possible, eliminating one threat will reduce the pressure. Although I enjoy dealing with three opponents at once, Mo Xi Yao's safety cannot be compromised in any way, so it's better to take the initiative.
Although he had arrived by Mo Xi Yao's side, Chu Yan did not go to disturb her conversation with the cowboy, who was chatting enthusiastically. Instead, he continued to do his job as a bodyguard, being vigilant and digging up all possible potential threats."
An hour later, Mo Xiuyao finally fulfilled her wish and became the first person in Asia to customize the new Ford Mustang. After a series of procedures were completed, Mo Xiuyao suddenly remembered that she had left Chu Yan aside for at least two hours. When she turned back, she found Chu Yan still smiling and sitting beside her, without any complaints or leaving, just quietly sitting there.
"Sorry, I forgot about you. Let's go and have lunch." Mo Xiuyao said as she walked up to Chu Yan, reached out her hand and grasped his arm, pulling him towards the exit of the exhibition hall. As for her three good friends, it seemed like they had disappeared without a trace. Mo Xiuyao got into the car in a hurry, leaving even Chu Yan behind by two hours, let alone others.
"Xiuyao, you're finally done with your work, let's go eat, it's on you today!" Just then, Mo Xiuyao's phone rang, and the voice of Ling Fox Lan on the other end was not very pleased. After all, three people came to see the car show, but only Mo Xiuyao had a harvest, which made him feel unbalanced. Moreover, he became more interested in the man who appeared beside Mo Xiuyao.
Inviting her out for a meal was something Mo Xi Yao would never refuse, especially today when she was in a great mood. "Alright, see you at the parking lot."
Putting down the phone, Mo Xi Yao and Chu Yan had already arrived at the entrance of the parking lot. Ling Hu Lan and Teng Bai He were standing in front of a white BMW 7 series, having waited for half a day. It seemed that these two young women were also rich local tyrants, judging from the cars they drove.
Although both are BMW 7 series, the one Mo Xi Yao has is a more classic and nostalgic 730li elegant model, worth around 1 million yuan, while the two girls' BMW 760li Steinway edition is a well-known model, priced at an exaggerated 3 million yuan or more. Although this comparison seems somewhat tacky, it's still the most intuitive way to compare them.
"Let's go, you lead the way to Wang Chao Seafood. It's been a long time since we've had seafood." Ling Hu Lan said as she got into the car, while Mo Xi Yao this time pushed Chu Yan into the passenger seat. She had just finished driving that Ford Mustang and was still feeling excited, so she took on the role of driver without hesitation.
With a destination in mind, Mo Xiuyao slowly started the car. Wang Chao Seafood is located on the outer second ring road of Beicheng District, which is quite far from the Nanshan International Convention and Exhibition Center. Fortunately, the car was driving on the outer third ring road, where there were not many vehicles, and no traffic jam, so it would take about an hour and a half to arrive.
"Take it easy, I think you're getting a bit too excited today." The car's speed was getting faster and faster, and Chu Yan could even feel a strong push-back sensation, which was still the feeling of sitting in the front passenger seat. If he were sitting in the back row, this feeling would probably be even more pronounced.
"It's okay, the speed limit on this road is 90, it's no big deal if we exceed it a bit, you've done well," Mo Xiuyao said, stepping on the accelerator again. Soon, Chu Yan discovered that something was off. Mo Xiuyao's car was manual transmission, and the gear had already been shifted to the highest position. A hint of tension suddenly appeared on Mo Xiuyao's face, which made Chu Yan's heart tighten instantly, and he immediately asked what was wrong.
"What's going on?" About 150 meters ahead, there was an intersection. At the current speed, it was likely that even when they approached the red light, it wouldn't turn green. Mo Xiuyao's tense emotions were getting more and more severe, and when Chu Yan asked her, her voice was even slightly trembling.
"The brakes...the brakes have failed..."
