Chapter 314 Poor police officer
Despite her serious tone, Athena was still a child at her heart. Rationally, no one could compete against her, not even Ling Qingyu but she was weak in emotional aspect. Like now, her head raised like a peacock, receiving genuine praise and acceptance from Su Ruomei's group of girls.
She felt her work was being recognized by the public other than affirmation from Ling Qingyu and her aunt.
Thinking of the layout played by Athena, Su Ruomei and the girls gained confidence, along with Tang Ziyi's psychological support.
Once everything was on the go, the weight on Su Ruomei's shoulder had flown away. The vans reached urban areas and began to weave through the traffic.
Traffic flow began to be congested a bit. Even if the time wasn't rush hour, Su Ruomei didn't want to drive behind the long trails of cars.
The demand for time was too strict. Who made their party completely reactive to the gang's movement, despite obtaining all the info? That was the reason why Ling Qingyu's trio focused on the initiative, seeking control of the rhythm.
`Fortunately, Athena had controlled the traffic lights. Whenever they passed or were near the intersection, the red turned green. Except for slowing down for the cars at the front to react, the average speed of the two vehicles was high.
However, before the girls could relieve the tensions, the vehicles had to stop. Puzzled, Su Ruomei tried to look ahead but to no avail. One thing was certain, the light had turned green yet the traffic became stuck.
Last time, a similar situation occurred as the convoy met a police checkpoint. Su Ruomei had a bad guess in her heart and exchanged glances with the driver, who also had the same thought.
Damn! Shitluck or was their action revealed? Su Ruomei contacted Athena for verification though she had not much hope. Within the short time frame, what could Athena gain?
Before Su Ruomei was about to speak about the important topic, Athena said first. "Don't worry. It's just a coincidence. Traffic accident ahead. One of them drove a red light and crashed not long after you drove on the road."
Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu cursed their fortunes. Murphy's law was at play. Whenever they didn't want something to happen, shit happened.
Both even considered writing 'shit happens' on the license plate as incense to raise their luck so that the next time, this wouldn't occur.
No sooner than later, the accident happened at the exact moment they were on this road. Athena also snickered at the teams' fate. If earlier, Athena could re-route fast and navigate through different avenues.
Now, the teams were in a tight spot, anxious to rush toward the destination. They didn't want to miss the poor girl and endanger her safety.
Although Athena promised nothing should happen to the girls, who could say for sure what these ruffians would do to the beautiful girl if they missed?
There was no slightest chance, the girls dared to bet, that the traffic would return to normal. It was urgent and they need to react now.
Su Ruomei looked around her cars. Fortunately, they stayed on the outermost lane. Though the road was separated by arrays of white fences in the middle, she presumed they could hit them and went in the opposite way.
Quickly, Su Ruomei ordered her drive and the van turned to the left and hit the fence slowly. The obstacle gradually got carried away by the front bumper, opening a path.
The sound of metal scrapping against the asphalt drew attention from the public. Most couldn't believe and rub their eyes. They were also thinking, why were the two cars impatient? It wasn't a traffic jam, 5-10 minutes later everything would be over!
Watching the two vans breaking laws without scruples, everyone was speechless. Please, do the drivers in the two cars really think there was no traffic warden?
Of course, no sooner than they thought, a person, wearing a reflective yellow jacket appeared, his head peeking out to see the culprits of the sound. It was a traffic police officer.
He was worried that there was another accident when a collision sound reached his ears. After all, an impatient driver was the number one culprit in an accident.
What did he see? Someone breaking the law before the law enforcement's eyes. Instantly, he showed his figure and signaled the two vans to pull over for inspection.
Like many, he also suspected two similar vans' structures might be linked to gangs and didn't want to interfere too much.
Go away righteousness and justice, self-protection was the number one need. However, in front of the public eyes, if he didn't do anything, his job would no longer be secure.
He decided to pretend to do serious work and release the drivers later as if he had given some tickets. That would be acceptable to the public eyes.
While his mind wandered around his plan, the vans didn't pay attention to his gesture at all and sped up instead. He sprinted ahead trying to wave to force the driver to stop.
Su Ruomei, Jiang Yu and the girls naturally noticed the police officer's funny behavior. Silently mourning for the officer, the girls continued to speed up, reaching the intersection. The vans honked to announce their presence.
The drivers maneuvered beautifully around various cars that stopped after seeing their aggressive actions. Curving in and out, the two vans passed the collision accident scene nonchalantly, causing everyone to be dumbfounded.
There was also another officer interrogating the drivers, responsible for the accident. Seeing Su Ruomei's team's behavior, his eyeballs bulged, almost spurting out of the sockets. Throwing away the stylish sunglasses, the two officers exclaimed inwardly: Hello! What are my hands gesturing for?
Well, these two really didn't give a f*** about police presence. Everyone tried to see through the glass who was so brave but to no avail. Since the guards' vans were modified on purpose, the windows were a little tinted. The previous crash against the fence didn't even destroy the paint.
Leaving only the backside, the two vans continued in haste to mitigate the prior time loss. Stunned for a while, one of the officers shouted something and sped toward his motorcycle to catch up. No way in hell, would the two let the vans' behavior go unstopped.
"Athena, we've got a company. I think we'll have to handle the mess." Su Ruomei said.
The radio cracked back. "Leave them alone and continue yours. Just don't let the motorcycle catch up and interfere."
"Crap, the motorbike will soon overtake us, if we continue the pace. You know that." Su Ruomei muttered.
"Alright, just maintain a distance. I'll solve them for you." Athena relented and interfered again with the light. Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu who heard her words, prayed deeply that the righteous officer who was trying to follow them remained safe.
The traffic lights turned from green to red as soon as the vans passed, prompting the biker to slow down and pay attention to the oncoming traffic.
Meanwhile, the motorbike officer, with sirens on, struggled amidst the narrow space. He cursed at the traffic light and was puzzled. Now, he really hated the road users who didn't even give way to emergency light. Nobody stopped for him, except for one or two conscientious people. He was unsure whether to call for backup since he didn't want things to escalate. What a fuss!
