"I'm at home."
"Give me the address then. How am I supposed to know where you live?" Su Yang was speechless.
"It's on the same road where we met earlier. Just ride the bike straight to the entrance of that hotel from before."
"Alright, wait for me at the hotel entrance in ten minutes."
Hanging up the phone, Su Yang put on his helmet and rode toward the city center.
Soon, he merged onto an expressway leading into the city.
On the late-night streets of Lincheng, a fast car or two would occasionally dart by.
Just dozens of seconds ago, a Toyota Supra and an Audi S4 provocatively overtook Su Yang, their exhausts popping.
After passing him, the two cars slowed down, rolled down their windows, and yelled at Su Yang to race.
Normally, he wouldn't indulge them in this kind of situation. But considering the bike belonged to someone else, and he had absolutely no interest in racing those two cars, he politely declined their invitation.
Not long after the two cars sped away, a series of explosive engine roars erupted from behind Su Yang again.
Just from the sound, Su Yang knew the cars behind him were no joke.
Sure enough, seven or eight seconds later, two more cars sped up.
These two cars were much more badass than the previous ones.
A white Audi R8 and a red Ferrari 296 GTB.
Seeing the death-defying rider ahead, the two cars quickly pulled up alongside Su Yang.
Both cars honked their horns, signaling Su Yang to race.
Su Yang sighed helplessly in his heart, 'Damn it, two more. But these two could actually serve as decent opponents.'
After that thought, he didn't care whose bike it was anymore. He wouldn't ride too fast anyway, just playing around a bit.
He turned his head to look at the drivers of the two cars, then waved his hand and quickly entered combat mode.
Vroom vroom!!
Just as Su Yang finished waving, the two cars lunged forward.
"I'll give you a thirty-meter head start." Waiting for the two cars to quickly pull away, Su Yang rapidly shifted gears, twisted the throttle with his right hand, and sped off in pursuit.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yang shifted from third to sixth gear. The Ducati V4 easily overtook the two sports cars like a bolt of red lightning.
Not long after passing them, Su Yang downshifted and slowed down.
After all, there were many speed limits on this road, and he didn't dare ride too fast.
Having just been overtaken, the two cars indignantly accelerated to pass him again.
Su Yang played another round of simultaneous acceleration with them. Even with a head start, the two cars were no match for him, let alone accelerating together.
The 1100cc Ducati V4 was indeed fierce, absolutely mind-blowing!
The two sports cars were easily crushed by Su Yang. At this point, the three vehicles arrived at a fork in the road. Su Yang took the left, and the two cars stopped playing with him, quickly slipping away to the right.
Su Yang shook his head and smiled. "An R8 modified to a thousand horsepower could maybe play with me, but in its factory state, don't even try."
"Motorcycles are actually pretty nice. Yeah, maybe I'll get one when I'm in a good mood."
Soon, Su Yang entered the downtown area. Passing by a gas station, he conveniently filled up the bike's tank, then followed the navigation all the way to the hotel entrance.
Just as he got off the bike, Su Yang saw a girl with flowing long hair, wearing a thin white jacket paired with gray sporty hot pants, walking out of the convenience store next to the hotel.
Her long, fair, and well-proportioned legs looked even more sexy in the night.
Only then did Su Yang have the time to take a good look at the owner of this Ducati V4.
The girl had an oval face, a small yet high-bridged nose, two curved thin eyebrows, and beautiful peach-blossom eyes that gave her a very charming vibe.
Sexy yet cute and lively. In this girl, Su Yang saw the shadows of both Pan Ning and Lu Yun.
However, her personality was different from those two; she was a bit like an enhanced version of Meng Qianyu.
—System, scan her.
[Tao Shu, Age: 21]
[Height: 166 cm]
[Weight: 52 kg]
[Beauty: 92]
[Figure: 95]
[Relationships: 2, Single]
[Combat Count: 0]
[Traits: Carefree, simple-minded, innocent]
[Tao Shu has met the binding criteria. Proceed with binding?]
—Oh? Her beauty score is this high? But she really is very pretty.
—Tao Shu, walnut cookie, interesting. Bind!
[Ding, binding successful. Tao Shu's affection level toward Host: 5]
Just as the system's voice faded, Tao Shu saw Su Yang getting off the bike by the roadside.
She quickly ran over and circled her bike once.
Su Yang smiled. "I didn't crash your precious bike."
"That's more like it. I thought you were a scammer earlier. I didn't expect you to actually return the bike to me."
Su Yang pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "Then why did you lend me the bike?"
"Didn't you say one of your friends was dying? I gave it to you because I went soft-hearted."
"But I transferred so much money to you, why did you still think I was a scammer?"
"Do you know how much this bike costs?" Tao Shu stared at Su Yang.
"Over two hundred thousand, right?"
"And you only gave me one hundred and ten thousand. This is a brand new bike I just picked up a few days ago. You wanted to take my bike for less than half its price, which is why I suspected you."
Hearing this, Su Yang smiled helplessly and exhaled a puff of smoke.
"But facts prove I'm not a scammer. I used your bike for a bit and you made a net profit of one hundred and ten thousand, right? I even filled up the tank for you."
"Oh? Well then... you're actually not a bad guy." Tao Shu tilted her head, pursed her lips, and glanced at Su Yang.
[Ding, detected that Tao Shu's affection level toward Host has increased to 30. Rewarding 3,000,000.]
—That fast?
[Yes.]
—This girl is quite interesting.
"I am a hundred percent a good guy. By the way, after all this time, I still don't know your name."
"Tao Shu."
"Is that the walnut cookie you can eat?"
"No!" Tao Shu glared at Su Yang.
"Haha, alright, alright."
"What's your name?"
"Su Yang."
"Su Yang? Alright then. Since you're not a scammer, here, I just bought this cola, it's yours."
Tao Shu handed the cola she just bought to Su Yang.
Su Yang looked at the Coca-Cola in her hand and smiled. "How did you know I like drinking Coca-Cola?"
Tao Shu rolled her eyes. "Do you want it or not?"
"I do, I'm just thirsty." Su Yang took the cola, opened it, and took a big gulp. "Bad review, it's not ice-cold."
"You're lucky to have something to drink at all, stop being picky."
"Hehe, thanks. Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm going back to the hotel to sleep. Bye!" Su Yang said as he walked toward the hotel entrance.
Tao Shu immediately called out, "Wait."
"What's up?"
"You're probably not from Lincheng, are you?" Tao Shu walked up and asked.
Su Yang shook his head. "No, I'm from Haicheng. I came over to help a friend handle some things."
"Oh, no wonder you speak Mandarin. By the way, what was your name again?"
"No way, sis, you don't look that old, but your memory is way too bad, isn't it?"
"Say it again!"
"Su Yang!"
"Su Yang, alright. You're quite handsome, and not a scammer. Hmm..."
Watching Tao Shu mutter to herself, Su Yang stepped forward and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Is this your first time in Lincheng?"
"Second time."
"Then have you ever had late-night snacks in Lincheng?"
Su Yang shook his head. "No."
"Are you hungry?"
Hearing this, Su Yang pretty much figured out what she meant. He smiled and said, "What? Are you going to treat me to a late-night snack if I am?"
"Sure! But don't get the wrong idea, it's not like I'm going out of my way to treat you. I'm just a bit hungry myself, so I figured I'd bring you along~"

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
