Chapter 42: Chapter 0042: This Car is Mine Now

Tang Ming was indifferent, as it didn’t make much of a difference to him whether he returned to the villa early or late. Going back didn’t give him much to do anyway; he’d either be sleeping in the bedroom or cultivating, but unfortunately, without any poison, he couldn’t improve his strength.

In the past, he thought being a bodyguard might come with some excitement, but now, Tang Ming realized that being a bodyguard was, at best, akin to an attendant student—quite dull indeed.

After strolling around for a bit, he headed back to the school and suddenly noticed a black sports car at the school’s entrance that was quite an eyeful. He looked at it a few times, thinking, "Such a car can only be driven on domestic roads. If this were in North Africa, it’d have to be an off-road vehicle, the domain of Hummers, Cherokees, and Land Cruisers."

"Tang Ming, that’s a Maserati, don’t mess it up. Stop fooling around, Liu Meng has something urgent, let’s hail a car and head back quickly."

Liu Mengting had just finished school and saw Tang Ming at the school gate, so she gave him a heads-up, noting he was out of the police station and evidently alright.

"Go? It’s just a sports car. As if I’ve never driven one before."

Tang Ming shrugged, "Back in North Africa, I was famously known as the Desert Racing God, only in my hands can this car’s speed truly be unleashed."

At that moment, a security guard from the campus security room came out, recognized Tang Ming as a student, and said, "Kid, you better not touch this car, it belongs to the Ma Family. Even a tiny bit of damage could be costly, and those people are unreasonable."

"The Ma Family’s car? Is it Ma Gangjian’s?"

Tang Ming said, delighted.

"Yes, that guy’s. Wasn’t he sent to the hospital after being beaten up this noon? His family hasn’t had time to pick up the car yet. They’ll probably come for it tomorrow. I heard this car is worth several million!"

The old security guard said enviously; he’d never seen several hundred thousand in his lifetime, let alone several million. To him, those were astronomical figures, only to be envied.

"Haha, this is like being offered a pillow when I want to sleep."

Grinning, Tang Ming approached the car door. He wouldn’t dare touch anyone else’s car, but Ma Gangjian’s was an absolute must. The guy had pulled a gun on him, so Tang Ming had no reason to be polite.

He fished a steel pin from his pocket, fiddled with the car door a few times, and actually managed to unlock it.

Looking at the empty interior, the luxurious driving seat exuding an inviting charm, Tang Ming unabashedly sat down in it.

The old security guard said urgently, "Young man, that’s the Ma Family’s car, you shouldn’t touch it, or else you’ll be inviting big trouble."

"Old man, don’t worry about it. Others might not dare to provoke the Ma Family, but I have no such fears."

Tang Ming laughed and dismissed it, fiddling inside the car, while Liu Mengting, watching from a distance, approached with a furious expression on her face.

"Tang Ming, can you give me a break? This car is worth millions. If you drive it away, you’ve just been released by the police, don’t get caught again," said Liu Mengting. "Now before anyone notices, hurry up and get down, will you?"

Tang Ming, his head down, fiddled around for a while, and suddenly all the displays on the car’s driving position lit up.

Liu Mengting’s jaw dropped. Tang Ming had actually started the sports car. But how had he done it?

The anti-theft systems on these sports cars are quite difficult to override. Without a key, an ordinary person might have to take apart the entire car and still might not manage to start it!

Today’s luxury cars aren’t like in the movies where you just pull out a couple of wires and touch them together to start the vehicle. These sports cars are designed with great precision.

You wouldn’t be able to find any wires to tamper with, but somehow Tang Ming had managed to start the car, naturally astonishing Liu Mengting.

Time and again, between cool indifference, Tang Ming managed to surprise her, forcing her to reassess him.

"Ma Gangjian’s car should be driven and not wasted. Are you coming back or not? Want a ride?"

Tang Ming asked.

"Tang Ming, even if this is Ma Gangjian’s car, you’re not really planning to drive it away, are you? You know that’s basically stealing a car."

Liu Mengting frowned and asked as she looked at the excited Tang Ming in the driver’s seat.

"What do you mean ’stealing’? Don’t make it sound so crude. Ma Gangjian wanted to shoot me; that’s a serious crime. Now, if he compensates me with a car, he’d still come out ahead. Besides, I beat him up pretty badly, so he’ll probably have to say goodbye to this sports car and can only drive a vehicle for disabled people. By driving it now, I’m simply recycling waste, so not to let things go to waste," Tang Ming said, clutching the steering wheel with a smile.

"No matter what you say, you always seem to have a reason,"

Liu Mengting wasn’t in the mood to listen to Tang Ming’s blather.

"Are you coming or not? There aren’t any taxis around now, you’re not seriously planning to wait here indefinitely, right?"

"Now that I have a car, I can take you back myself, how great is that? You even save on taxi fare," Tang Ming said.

"But the car isn’t yours,"

Liu Mengting said reluctantly.

"Are you coming or not? If you’re not coming, I’m off."

Tang Ming started the sports car’s engine, and it roared deeply.

Reluctantly, Liu Mengting got into the car. Seeing that it was getting dark, and knowing she’d be unsafe here alone if Tang Ming left, she huffed,

"Anyway, you’re the one stealing it. It’s not my problem if something happens."

No sooner had she spoken than Liu Mengting went round to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in.

Tang Ming said to the old gatekeeper, "Old man, you can relax. I’m a student here at the school, and I know the Ma brothers. They won’t mind me driving their car. If they dare to complain, I’ll just send them back to the hospital for a few more days!"

"Oh, okay, it’s up to you to sort it out,"

The old security guard said subconsciously, but after hearing what Tang Ming said next was startled—what? He was the one who sent the Ma brothers to the hospital?

The old security guard shrank his neck in fear. It seemed this guy was the real tough one, no wonder he didn’t care about the Ma family!

After closing the car door, Tang Ming turned to Liu Mengting and said,

"Miss, please fasten your seatbelt."

"Stop nagging, as if you’re going to drift or something!"

Liu Mengting fastened her seatbelt, her chest immediately looking pronounced and perky.

Tang Ming turned his head to the front and floored the accelerator. The car whooshed away at high speed.

Only then did Liu Mengting understand why Tang Ming had told her to buckle up because this guy drove way too fast!

Shifting gears, stepping on the gas, and changing directions, Tang Ming drove ferociously fast through traffic, showcasing the high-speed thrill of a sports car, overtaking continuously and speeding along the road.

Liu Mengting clutched her bag with both hands, her face ashen with fear. Given another chance, she would never set foot in Tang Ming’s car again.

Yet at the red light at the crossroads, Tang Ming still came to a stop. Despite his speed, he couldn’t completely ignore traffic rules. The recent wild spree had been quite a rush, but the look on Liu Mengting’s face sitting next to him was awful, as if she had been robbed.

Not that Tang Ming cared about what the missy thought. He had gone to the trouble of finding a car to take her home, and now she had the nerve to still look displeased. It was really strange; she wanted to get home quickly, didn’t she? He sped up, and yet she still wasn’t happy!
