Zhang Lei was suddenly able to speak at this moment. Of course, she understood that Zhou Xuan had secretly released her pressure points. As long as she wasn't attacked by Zhou Xuan or drunk to the point of unconsciousness, she wasn't afraid. And now it was just a fight, so she wasn't worried or afraid at all. She had seen Zhou Xuan's ability to fight before. These people didn't even have as many thugs as the Emperor Club. There, so many people were easily defeated by Zhou Xuan.
When it was Zhang Lei's turn to take action, she was both happy and excited. Her anger towards Zhou Xuan had vanished without a trace. Although she was angry at the time, she now understood that Zhou Xuan was not just making things up without a certainty. With this thought, she naturally calmed down.
When Zhou Xuan pulled Zhang Lei to the front desk, they saw forty or fifty people waving iron bars and shouting as they rushed over. Some of them were wearing security guard uniforms, and some were in civilian clothes, but without exception, they all looked fierce and menacing.
Zhou Xuan's position became a focal point, and dozens of thugs surged forward like a tide. Zhou Xuan did not back down at all. When he swung the stainless steel pipe in his hand, he faced the thugs who were at the forefront. None of them could resist, and strangely, they were all knocked down by him.
This was of course due to Zhou Xuan's ability to freeze the enemy and then defeat them. However, to others, it was simply a display of Zhou Xuan's power and strength. Zhang Lei, in particular, who was being held by Zhou Xuan, was completely captivated by his appearance.
To be honest, Zhang Lei's feelings for Zhou Xuan hadn't been very good lately, but they had gradually changed. She definitely couldn't say she liked him. Besides, Zhou Xuan was married and not her type. But girls, especially girls like her who were police officers, had always admired brave people. Zhou Xuan's seemingly invincible fighting skills, coupled with the feeling of him dragging her through crowds, were intoxicating!
Zhou Xuan whipped the thugs mercilessly, showing no mercy. None of them were good people, and with all the pent-up anger and frustration he had tonight, he was venting it all on them.
As she rushed to the front desk, the several pretty women there were so frightened that they hid under the counter, trembling. Zhang Lei grabbed a bottle of premium FO from the side of the counter.
The two men effortlessly rushed out of the nightclub lobby and headed straight for the parking lot. The area behind them erupted in chaos, but no one chased after them. Most of the thugs had been injured by Zhou Xuan, and the few remaining dared not confront him. Anyone with eyes and a brain understood that this man was no ordinary person; his skills were so formidable that they would only be cannon fodder if they went up against him. Anyone who dared to charge forward would be a fool.
Zhou Xuan took the rich young man's car keys and pressed one. Among the many luxury cars, one car beeped twice, indicating the location. Zhou Xuan went over and found it; it was a silver Maserati.
Zhou Xuan chuckled as he got into the car, then drove it out and stopped next to Zhang Lei, who was waiting in front, for her to get in.
Zhang Lei's eyes lit up as she looked at the luxurious Maserati, and she exclaimed, "What a fine car! It's so dazzling!"
Zhou Xuan chuckled and sat down in the passenger seat next to him, spreading his hands and saying, "Alright, you try out this car, you drive!"
Zhang Lei didn't stand on ceremony. Although her family was well-off, they still couldn't afford a car of this level. Zhou Xuan asked her to drive it, so of course she was happy. After all, it was just a short drive, so what was wrong with that? Besides, this was something Zhou Xuan had won back, right?
The thought of gambling and winning the car sent a chill down Zhang Lei's spine. Both she and Zhou Xuan were police officers, and they absolutely could not win the car through gambling. If they didn't explain, the car might not pass inspection. A luxury car obtained under such circumstances could only be driven secretly without anyone knowing, and it was impossible to actually drive it back.
After Zhang Lei got into the car, she fastened her seatbelt, started the engine, and pressed the accelerator. "My toes barely touched the gas pedal, and the car shot off like an arrow."
From ignition to 100 km/h in just a few seconds, the feeling is truly amazing.
"What a great car!" Zhang Lei exclaimed as she drove. The steering wheel, clutch, brake, accelerator, and all the other in-car controls were incredibly responsive, far surpassing any police car she had ever driven.
Zhou Xuan looked at the bottle of FO that she had placed at her feet and couldn't help but chuckle, "You even managed to snatch a bottle of wine? That's really something, considering how chaotic things were, you still managed to think about these trivial matters?"
Zhang Lei snorted, then got angry again while driving: "You bastard, didn't you just gamble me away? What right do you have to use me as a wager? You're nobody to me!"
However, even though she said that, her face couldn't help but burn when she thought about Zhou Xuan saying that she was his girlfriend.
Zhou Xuan naturally had no idea what she was thinking. At this moment, he was paying attention to what was behind him. After catching his breath, the nightclub staff, the fat man, and the rich young master all sent people to chase after them. Countless luxury cars and luxury vehicles roared over.
When Zhang Lei saw Zhou Xuan looking back, she suddenly realized what was happening. She quickly looked in the rearview mirror and saw countless cars chasing after them. If they weren't chasing each other, the scene would definitely be different.
Because this was still in the city center, and a busy area, it wasn't possible to go very fast. So Zhang Lei could only try to go as fast as she could. However, the cars chasing behind her were recklessly speeding up, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
When the cars chasing behind reached the distance controlled by his superpower, Zhou Xuan used his superpower to transform and devour a tiny part of the tires or engine, causing the first few cars to come to an abrupt stop, and two of them were rear-ended by the cars behind.
Because the nightclub didn't know Zhou Xuan's true identity and no one recognized him, and given the spectacular incident Zhou Xuan had caused at the nightclub, they hurriedly drove after him and Zhang Lei after they rushed out. If Zhou Xuan escaped alone, they would lose all face!
Zhou Xuan calmly dealt with the vehicles following behind, and Zhang Lei tried to drive as fast as possible. Five or six minutes later, she was surprised to find that there were no more cars chasing after them!
During this escape, Zhou Xuan destroyed at least twenty luxury cars before stopping only when he was sure no other vehicles were chasing them.
Zhang Lei, however, was completely unaware of this. Only after checking that no one was chasing her did she slow down and ask Zhou Xuan, "These people are really just bullies; they have no real skills whatsoever. They shook me off so easily!"
Although that's what she said, Zhang Lei suspected that those people weren't trying to get rid of her because of her driving skills, since there were so many cars on the city roads that she couldn't go very fast. Instead, they were trying to get rid of her because of her good car. Under the same circumstances, besides skill, the most important thing is the quality of the car itself. There's no doubt that a luxury car is better than an ordinary car.
"Zhou Xuan, where are we going now?" Zhang Lei slowed down the car and asked Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand casually and said, "Anywhere is fine, but I want to have a good drink!"
Zhang Lei chuckled and said, "I know, I promise I'll take you to a place where we can have a good drink!" With that, she turned the car around and drove onto the middle of the highway.
Zhou Xuan didn't know where she was going, but he wasn't worried about her coming up with any tricks. He was a grown man, and it was always the girl who would suffer, so what was there to be afraid of? He just guessed that Zhang Lei was probably going to take him to a bar or nightclub again.
According to Zhou Xuan, if you want to drink properly, the only good places to drink are bars, restaurants, and hotels. However, drinking in those places might lead to another mess, as the chaos that just happened hasn't been completely covered up yet.
Zhang Lei made a U-turn at the bend, then drove quickly south, reaching the riverbank in just a few minutes, and then drove downstream along the river.
The pace slowed down a bit. Zhou Xuan looked at the night view outside. There were quite a few pedestrians on the roadside, but most of them were couples. After nightfall, couples or families, adults and children, would walk along the river to relax and have some fun.
Zhang Lei pulled the car over to the side of a park square by the river, then pointed to the riverbank and said, "Go over there, this place is great. The area along the river is dimly lit and has few people. There are barbecue stalls, so you can drink and eat barbecue. It's very quiet, and nobody bothers you!"
Volume 1, Chapter 579
This road along the river, stretching for several kilometers, is very quiet. Barbecue stalls are set up in the square, while small tables are placed along this road by the river. The riverside lighting is somewhat dim, and couples are sitting at the small tables along the row.
To outsiders, Zhou Xuan and Zhang Lei were assumed to be a couple, but only the two of them knew they weren't.
Zhang Lei seemed quite familiar with how the roadside barbecue stall operated. She called the owner over and ordered a large amount of barbecue. Then she asked the owner for two disposable cups, opened the bottle of FO, and poured two cups.
Zhang Lei took a small sip first, tasted it, and then chuckled softly, "Try it first, and see what this wine that costs over ten thousand yuan tastes like!" After tasting it, she didn't find it particularly special, and with a soft "hee," she chuckled, "If I had to spend that much money to buy this bottle, I would never do it!"
Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly. The society of the upper class was beyond their comprehension. Although Zhou Xuan possessed a fortune of hundreds of millions, he had never actually stepped into that level of society. The people around him, Fu Ying and Wei Haihong, were actually among them, but one was the woman he loved most, and the other was like a brother to him. Neither of them had ever shown the slightest bit of arrogance in front of him. So, to be precise, Zhou Xuan had the wealth, but not the substance.
Zhang Lei shook her head, feeling that this premium FO wasn't to her taste. She raised her hand and beckoned to the barbecue stall owner, calling out, "Boss, give me... a case of beer!"
Originally, Zhang Lei said she would only order a few, but when she thought about Zhou Xuan's performance at the nightclub, she quickly changed her mind and ordered one item first. She figured that it would be far from enough to satisfy Zhou Xuan's appetite. She also knew that Zhou Xuan only had a bank card and no cash. They couldn't treat him like they did the nightclub owner and the fat rich kid when they were drinking and eating barbecue. They earned their money through hard work and they couldn't skimp on a single penny.
Zhang Lei thought for a moment, then quickly said to Zhou Xuan, "Let's make this clear first, I only have two hundred yuan on me, so we can't drink more than that. Your alcohol tolerance is terrifying, just drink a little bit!"
Seeing Zhang Lei's fear that he would dine and dash again, Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't drink that much this time. You think I can really drink? Hehehe, I was just kidding!"
Zhang Lei's heart skipped a beat. She immediately poured Zhou Xuan another glass of foreign liquor and asked, "Zhou Xuan, let me ask you, how did you do it? I couldn't tell."
"Hehe, anyone can see it. How could I fool them?" Zhou Xuan chuckled, picked up his wine glass, and downed it in one gulp, but he didn't answer Zhang Jing's question.
