The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 490: Stop it forcefully

BOOM… BOOM… BOOOM~

There was a frightening peal of thunder, and lightning flashed incessantly, lighting up the sky. A rolling sea of threatening dark clouds churned like a raging tsunami, as flashes of lightning streaked from within, making them appear to glow angrily. It only took a moment for a heavy downpour to make the entire Xiahai city’s temperature drop. The neon lights in this stormy weather looked fuzzy and made the whole city seemed rather hazy.

The city streets were still bustling with people and cars, and the city looked lively and busy. There were many pedestrians without umbrellas hiding under any building they could find shelter in. But, those who had raincoats or umbrellas chose to brave through the storm. However, the cars had slowed down on the road due to safety concerns and to avoid potential accidents with other vehicles and pedestrians.

“Can you stop being so barbaric in the future? We can settle all these things through a proper legal procedure. Violence cannot be the answer to every problem.”

Su Li tried to convince Xiao Luo in the car for this was the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with. She really disliked his usual way of solving a problem using the most extreme means he could. No sane women in the world would prefer a man with a predisposition toward violence.

“Ms. Su, I admire your magnanimity even though you were taken advantage of. It was amazing that you could remain so calm and unaffected,” Xiao Luo responded, keeping his eyes on the road.

“You…!”

Su Li was offended and frustrated that Xiao Luo chose not to even consider her words at all. He didn’t get—it was not about her being taken advantage of. Seriously? What did he mean by “unaffected?”

She felt hurt as this man could never get what she meant, even once!

“Alright, you two are like Tom and Jerry—you guys clearly are fond of each other, but you’re just stubborn as hell. As an outsider, I have a fair and objective comment to make. None of you guys are willing to take the initiative to break the deadlock. You two would have lived together a long time ago had either of you chosen to do that. Instead, you’re living in your apartment separately.”

Shen Qingyan chuckled as she finally understood the situation now. “Su Li, you always complain to me about how Xiao Luo does not have a successful career, and you see him as a total loser. This could be interpreted from another perspective—that you’re was very concerned about Xiao Luo,” she said, “And, Xiao Luo, as for today’s little sparring session with Leon—you would not have done that if you did not have a thing for Su Li as you’re essentially a gentle person. To make things clear, your feelings for each other are mutual.”

She used to look down on Xiao Luo, but she found him quite charming after some time of hanging out with him. She did find him quite charming, actually!

“Huh, who wants to stay together!”

Both Xiao Luo and Su Li responded simultaneously as if they had been practicing it together.

They stared at each other and then looked away immediately. Su Li was blushing while Xiao Luo was expressionless.

“Tsk! You can keep denying it. I’ll see how long can you guys live in denial. If you guys ever decided to live together someday, text me, and I’ll take Su Xiaobei with me. So you guys can have a sweet and hot honeymoon to yourselves.” Shen Qingyan said, smiling cheekily.

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Su Li vehemently denied any such thing. She stared out of the window into the night sky, trying to calm herself down. She stole a fleeting glance at Xiao Luo as she thought, if only this man were not so barbaric and had a successful career, it would be so wonderful. He was the man who made her heart flutter, and she had already set her mind on living with him for the rest of her life—for now, at least.

Xiao Luo suddenly decided to take the attention off himself, and said in jest, “President Shen, I think you would make a perfect match for a friend of mine, if there’s ever an opportunity, I would like to introduce him to you.”

“Oh? So, now you’re trying to matchmake your boss? Fine, I don’t have a high standard, but he cannot be less handsome and shorter than you. Most importantly, he needs to give me that special feeling of connection. That’s all, and I don’t care if he’s rich, as I already am,” Shen Qingyan replied, playing with her long hair.

“Cough, cough…”

Xiao Luo choked. He had intended to refer Zhang Dashan since he was unable to date Huang Ruoran. A woman like Shen Qingyan was every man’s dream, and it would be a nice thing to matchmake them. However, Shen Qingyan’s selection criteria had totally discouraged him.

“Well, you’ve got to see him for yourself,” he said.

Shen Qingyan smiled as she was obviously uninterested and placed little faith in such arrangements.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The tiny car behind them was honking incessantly and flashing its headlight to force Xiao Luo out of its way.

“Is that dude blind or sick? Can’t he see that we can’t give way?” Shen Qingyan hissed, and she was pissed.

“Don’t bother; the driver probably has road rage syndrome!” Su Li said.

Road rage syndrome?!

Xiao Luo smiled as this was his first time hearing such a term, but it was very apt nonetheless.

He continued to drive at their current speed. He turned on the car’s music app to shield their ears from the honking from behind them. When the music played, it turned out to be one of Su Li’s greatest hits, “Twice Blooms the Flower.”

“Two kinds of life, like a wilting flower, reminiscing the memories of blooming, many moons ago…awaiting here in patience, to let time returns, with eyes full of petals…”

The song was soothing, and the lyrics were beautiful—it sounded like a song that could purify one’s soul. Both Xiao Luo and Shen Qingyan were mesmerized by the singing.

“Li, let me ask you a question. What does it feel like to listen to your own song?” Shen Qingyan asked.

“Lame!”

Su Li’s answer was short and straightforward.

She had actually become popular because of this song in the past. Of course, her focus now on the film industry and not music. She had not sung for a really long time.

Then, the car from behind them suddenly caught up but did not overtake them. Instead, it ran alongside them.

The window on the far side of the driver seat was wound down, and a weird-looking man with ear studs yelled, “What the f*ck, you f*cking donkey, don’t you know how to drive? We’ve been honking a gazillion times—are you deaf? I would kick your ass if I wasn’t in a rush, f*ck you!”

He grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the bottom of his seat and threw it at the window of the Jaguar. That man even put up a middle finger as he let out a barrage of expletives, then wound up his window. Immediately, he sped up and overtook them.

Both Su Li and Shen Qingyan were shocked as they did not expect to run into such a gangster. It was impossible to give way as there was clearly no extra room for them to give way!

“What kind of jerk is this? How rude can he be?” Shen Qingyan hissed. She was furious as those people now spoiled her mood.

“Tighten your seatbelts!”

Xiao Luo did not break a sweat, and he only said it once as he looked at them through the rearview mirror.

Both Su Li and Shen Qingyan grabbed the handrail unconsciously as they knew very well what Xiao Luo intended to do.

“Hmm…”

Xiao Luo stepped on the accelerator pedal hard. The Jaguar started to charge forward like a beast, overtaking one car after another and finally catching up to the Audi when they came to the gigantic bridge between the river. He then slammed the accelerator pedal entirely and overtook the car like a fire arrow before he braked in front of the Audi, preventing it from moving anywhere.
