Bai Xiaosheng recounted his exploits in resolving a tribal conflict, earning a city's honors, and preempting merchant rivalries to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying during their journey to Dilu City. He embellished the story with feng shui fabrications, captivating Lin while Lei Ying discerned the jest. As their vehicle slowed at the congested Luto Checkpoint, the driver's call confirmed a special lane arranged by Deputy Mayor Samba's assistant for their passage.

Their vehicle had already broken free from the endless line, tailing the guide car to advance straight along the side route.

Drivers and passengers in the nearby cars gawked at them with wide-eyed curiosity as they went by, completely in the dark about their reason for being there.

Yet, it wasn't long before the vehicles in the main queue spotted the fresh path alongside them. In a flash, a bunch of cars ditched the original line and shoved their way in, making Bai Xiaosheng and his crew brake to a crawl again moments later.

Spotting this, the driver of Bai Xiaosheng’s ride laid on the horn non-stop, scowled deeply, and spat curses in his local tongue, "These clueless fools, this is a special path for honored guests, and they dare to cut in. They’ll be in trouble soon enough!"

Even with all the swearing, Bai Xiaosheng’s car kept inching along at a snail’s pace, no denying it.

Bai Xiaosheng along with his two buddies knew better than to lose their cool right now. Any complaints would just stir up problems, so they sat tight and waited silently inside.

Still, they were way ahead of that other line which had been baking in the wait for ages.

Bai Xiaosheng picked up from the driver that hanging around for one or two hours at the Luto Checkpoint was totally standard.

Those cars barging ahead of them must’ve hit their limit on patience.

With the car dragging along like a sluggish turtle, Lin Weiwei smacked Bai Xiaosheng’s arm and jabbed at the window over and over, "Xiaosheng, look, look!"

Bai Xiaosheng turned his head in astonishment.

In the parallel queue, a white SUV caught his eye. Its back window was down, showing off the frustrated face of a stunning woman.

It was the very white woman they’d clashed with before.

Shockingly, despite leaving nearly two hours prior, they remained trapped in this mess.

"What a small world!" Lin Weiwei grumbled with rising fury, "Being treated as enemies by the Kurik Tribespeople is all because of them! Who would’ve thought we’d run into them again!"

Exactly!

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze sharpened just a bit.

Thinking back to how Bai Xiaosheng nearly faced peril with the Kurik folks, Lin Weiwei’s anger boiled over. She cranked down her window, jabbed a finger right at the woman’s face, and let loose a furious shout.

"Shameless!"

The white woman, who’d been poking her head out to figure out the new line beside them and how much more delay they’d endure, caught the insult.

Spotting a Huaxia woman yelling at her from the adjacent car, and clocking the young Huaxia guy beside her, the woman’s face twisted in shock.

That face was burned into her memory.

Her eyes bulged in disbelief as she watched Bai Xiaosheng’s car glide right past.

It was them!

Snapping back fast, the white woman barked at her driver, "I didn’t expect them to pass us, overtake them for me!"

She had no clue how the Huaxia guy escaped the earlier chaos, snatched a ride, and closed the gap, but rage now fueled her urge to surge ahead!

No way she’d let this slide!

She vividly recalled chilling by her car with a smoke, getting ’slandered,’ ’disfigured,’ trying to ’reason,’ only to flee under gun threats.

Back in Kurik Village, she’d framed them for some payback, but never imagined they’d catch up and zoom by.

That Huaxia woman’s yells were surely aimed at her!

Definitely egged on by that despicable guy!

This grudge wasn’t over!

"Jen, Miss Jenny, how are we supposed to overtake them now?" The driver gestured at the target per the white woman’s orders, but their path crept like a snail, no chance to pass.

"Idiot, who told you to overtake them in this queue? Get out, cut into their line for me!" Miss Jenny snapped.

The other two guys in the car shot each other looks but stayed mum.

Miss Jenny called the shots in their crew, and her demands got followed without question.

With a quick nod from his mates, the driver swung out of their lane and gunned it ahead.

They passed up chances to cut in multiple times, holding off until nearing Bai Xiaosheng’s car, then swerved sharply into the gap.

The abrupt cut shocked Bai Xiaosheng’s driver, who slammed the brakes, nearly hurling everyone forward from the jolt.

Bai Xiaosheng and his pals were thrown off too, ending up looking all messed up.

"FUCK! What’s that bastard trying to do, is he insane!" Bai Xiaosheng’s driver exploded, stunned and furious.

Peering through the front glass, Bai Xiaosheng and his two friends eyed the pushy white SUV that had rudely cut them off.

From the dropped rear window stretched a pale arm, clenching into a fist before flipping them the middle finger.

That woman!

Upon grasping what had just transpired, Lin Weiwei seethed with rage, nearly grinding her silver teeth to pieces.

Bai Xiaosheng’s driver blasted the horn sharply several times before abruptly settling down.

"They’re done for!" Bai Xiaosheng’s driver proclaimed with a cold smirk.

Inside the white SUV, the driver reported to Miss Jenny, "We’ve cut in front of them, Miss Jenny; they seem pretty upset."
