I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 667 Dark Romance
"Squeak-"

The car tires screeched against the ground, and the sudden braking at high speed left black rubber marks on the track. The midday sun shone directly on the track, emitting a pungent and unpleasant smell that was also incredibly irritating.

This is a car club.

Su Chengyi leaned against the railing and casually took the glass handed to her by the manager.

The lemon soda was topped with ice and had clear, bubbly bubbles.

"Mr. Su, Brother Zheng said he's stuck in traffic and will be a few minutes late. Would you like to rest in the lounge for a while?"

The manager rubbed his hands together and asked cautiously.

"Need not."

Su Chengyi shook his head, picked up his cup, and slowly chewed a piece of ice.

Before coming, Xiao Zheng had made arrangements in advance. Otherwise, although this club usually doesn't have much business, it wouldn't be as deserted as it is today, with only a few staff members quietly doing their work.

"Hey, it's the product of a rich kid's impulsive startup. It's on the verge of bankruptcy, has lost a lot of money, and can't sell it. He's really worried."

This is how Xiao Zheng explained it.

Therefore, they are well-suited to engaging in illegal, criminal, and shady activities.

Su Chengyi habitually glanced down at his watch. The Rolex dial was quite worn, with several cracks faintly visible, but it still had a beautiful reflection.

Although it's supposed to be a car club, it now looks more like an abandoned racetrack. Su Chengyi's Aston Martin is parked in the distance, its smooth and beautiful lines seeming out of place with the somewhat shabby atmosphere here.

"Mr. Yi, did you come here to test drive the new car, or do you just want to relax and have some fun racing?"

Lin Tong rubbed his ears; he wasn't used to the sharp sound of car tires rubbing against the plastic pavement, which made him very uncomfortable.

And for some reason, ever since Su Chengyi brought him here, he had a bad feeling.

During these days, in the gaps between his part-time job and studies, he also kept track of Su Chengyi's movements through Xu Yang.

Lin Tong spent almost all his free time thinking about countermeasures for his good brother.

Unfortunately, this problem is truly unsolvable. Come to think of it, even President Yi himself has no solution, so what help can an outsider like him offer?
Thinking about this made Lin Tong feel distressed, so distressed that she needed to do a few sets of past postgraduate entrance exam questions to calm down.

But right now there are no past exam papers, only sports cars, ice water, and this guy next to me with a mysterious look on his face.

"Why don't you try guessing again?"

Su Chengyi chewed the ice cubes until they were crunchy.

Lin Tong scratched his face and looked worriedly at the other side of the track.

This place doesn't seem to be just a simple club or racetrack; it's also a venue where wealthy people conduct vehicle performance tests, as evidenced by the carelessly dismantled and discarded vehicle parts on the other side.

But the deeper Lin Tong went into these speculations, the more her heart pounded, and she dared not think about it any further.

“A few days ago, I met Chen Jinzhi and Chu Qingmian.”

Su Chengyi rested her arm on the railing, her bangs fluttering slightly in the wind.

His eyes and brows were somber, still an ink-black hue even in the sunlight, making unfamiliar people feel uneasy when they met his gaze.

“I originally thought they would be better off after leaving me, but that’s not the case. Both I and they have tried no less than a hundred ways to free ourselves from this pain, but none of them have worked.”

As Lin Tong listened to him speak, her fists clenched silently in her pockets, instinctively knowing that what he was about to say would be hard to accept.

"It's like a dead end; you can't find a way out even if you bang your head against the wall."

Su Chengyi gently tapped the railing with her left hand holding the glass. The bottom of the glass touched the stainless steel railing, producing a crisp, bell-like sound.

"But this is not the worst outcome."

"Not yet?"

Lin Tong frowned and subconsciously asked a question in return.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded and continued:
"The worst-case scenario could be a volcanic eruption, a tsunami or flood, a zombie virus outbreak, or an asteroid hitting Earth."

He spoke as if joking, and Lin Tong's smile froze as soon as it appeared on her face, because he said the following:
"Or, I'm dead."

"President Italy!!"

Lin Tong hurriedly interrupted him, grabbing his arm tightly.

Su Chengyi casually raised the corners of her mouth, signaling to him with her eyes that he could rest assured.

"This is just a hypothesis."

"Mr. Yi, please don't do anything foolish."

Lin Tong, however, couldn't put her mind at ease and still wore a bitter expression.

"I know."

Su Chengyi nodded.

"But given the current situation, since I know they still love me, and since I know that separation is unacceptable for any of us, all we need to change is an extreme outburst. Only with an outburst can there be a turning point."

"An outbreak? A turning point?"

Lin Tong's face was wrinkled like a wilted bitter gourd.

He understood Su Chengyi. Although this person was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, he was ruthless and detached when it came to himself. He was capable of anything and would do anything dangerous.

The bad feeling I had just had gradually resurfaced.

"squeak--"

"Hey, Master!"

A screeching sound of brakes rang out, and a man wearing sunglasses rolled down his window, waving his keys at them, interrupting their conversation.

Xiao Zheng drove his newly acquired flashy purple Ferrari, looking smug and pleased with himself.

"Hey, Woody's here too. No classes today?"

"Ahem, hello Brother Zheng."

Choked by the Ferrari's extravagant exhaust fumes, Lin Tong forced a smile and greeted him.

"Just in time."

Su Chengyi beckoned him to get out of the car.

"According to your previous introduction, this club was once used as a venue for 'Vehicle Crash Tests,' and the environment and props are still usable, right?"

That's true.

Xiao Zheng is very good at reading people's expressions. He hadn't noticed it when he was talking about this with Su Chengyi before, but now he vaguely felt that something was wrong. When he saw Lin Tong's miserable expression, he instantly became alert.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"To make a long story short, I need to cause a car accident."

Su Chengyi sat down, leaning against the hood of the Ferrari, looking completely at ease.

"You mean you want to create a simulated car accident scene here, making it look like you were in a car accident?"

Xiao Zheng covered her face, looking somewhat incredulous.

"If that's the case, how can injuries from a car accident be faked?"

Lin Tong frowned and asked instinctively, "That's not important."

Su Chengyi shook his head and continued:
"I will contact private hospitals to cooperate with me on some matters, and on the other hand, the emotional outburst I need will be triggered after the news of the car accident is disseminated."

"Sir, please make way."

At this moment, several staff members carrying buckets of water and towels walked by cautiously with their heads down.

Xiao Zheng grabbed his hair tightly, stepped aside to make way, and felt goosebumps all over his body.

"No, young master, isn't your idea a bit too risky, too crazy?"

"Mr. Yi, are you sure they will forgive you for yet another deception after they know the truth?"

Lin Tong's expression wasn't much better than Xiao Zheng's. His feelings at this moment were probably just as complicated as when Su Chengyi had revealed the whole story of the chaotic situation.

Wasn't that what I was just saying to you?

Su Chengyi put the empty water glass into the tray next to her, and a staff member came up and wiped the table with his head down.

"If you've personally experienced the worst possible outcome, you'll feel that anything is better than that. It's like waking up from a nightmare and feeling reborn, like a great monk who only achieves enlightenment after going through real hardships, like having lived a terrible life and suddenly having the chance to be reborn and start over."

"."

"."

His idea was so crazy that both Xiao Zheng and Lin Tong instinctively wanted to refute it, but they could only open their mouths and couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Looking at their expressions, Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, knowing clearly that he had successfully deceived them.

"Based on previous reference test results and today's on-site test of the same model, it can be concluded that at a speed of approximately 64km/h, the possibility of the vehicle's A-pillar breaking is relatively small, and the safety of the driver is also higher. At 80km/h, there is more uncertainty, which exceeds the safe collision standard speed. At 90km/h, due to the huge impact force, the vehicle's engine will intrude into the passenger compartment, and the occupants will basically suffer internal organ damage, fainting, or even death."

Su Chengyi looked at the records in his notebook, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if he were simply a recorder for this test.

"Oh my god, my heart is aching so much."

Xiao Zheng lay on the Aston Martin whose hood was completely mangled, clutching his chest in anguish as a car enthusiast.

"I'll give you a five-yuan coupon for buying a car after that."

Su Chengyi looked at the car that had been with him for several years, his expression unreadable.

A luxury car worth millions has its value. Even after such a shock test, the damaged body still exudes an air of arrogance, like a dying thug in a suit.

"Mr. Yi, according to you, if the intention was only to fake a damaged vehicle, why make so many test records?"

Lin Tong turned his head and asked seriously.

"If it is necessary to fake an injury, I need to know the extent of the driver's potential injury at that speed."

Su Chengyi answered calmly.

"Is it."

His answer was flawless, but Lin Tong still felt uneasy, like an ant being roasted by a raging fire.

Ants, of course, cannot stop a raging fire, so he could only anxiously watch this "scam" alongside Xiao Zheng, as a bystander carefully chosen by Su Chengyi.

"Young Master, the scene has been set up, and your car has arrived at the A2 intersection of the Ring Road. I have checked the details, and it is flawless."

"Once you're seated, I'll immediately dispatch disguised, helpful bystanders to call an ambulance for you. Of course, you'll be taken to the nearest private hospital, which has been arranged beforehand. Next, I'll announce the arrival of the two female leads."

Xiao Zheng squatted in the roadside bushes, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, like a spy lying in ambush.

Lin Tong squatted down next to him, too nervous to even breathe.

The appointed time had arrived, but Su Chengyi was still nowhere to be seen. His ominous premonition grew stronger, as if someone had grabbed his throat.

At this moment, on the other side of the ring road.

Su Chengyi was driving Xiao Zheng's newly purchased Ferrari. His phone was connected to the car's Bluetooth, and the navigation system directed him to the staged car accident scene.

Xiao Zheng kept rambling on and on, interspersed with a few worried questions from Lin Tong.

"Turn left at the next intersection, and you will reach your destination in 1,500 meters."

Following the navigation instructions, Su Chengyi suddenly hung up the phone without warning.

"Beep beep."

Xiao Zheng and Lin Tong exchanged glances on the other end of the phone. They dialed back, but no one answered.

Su Chengyi turned the steering wheel and headed towards the other side of the fork in the road.

He had turned off the phone and navigation, and with one hand casually resting on the steering wheel, he turned the car's music volume up to the maximum with the other.

Skid Row - "I Remember You"

“Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
When I woke up, it was pouring rain outside the window.
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
A gentle breeze stirs when I think of you.

And all the tears you cried, that called my name
I remember the tears that fell when you called my name.
And when you needed me I came through
I just hope I can be there for you when you need me.

I paint a picture of the days gone by
I painted a picture of every little detail from the past.

When love went blind and you would make me see
When love is impulsive and blinding, you guide me back to my senses.
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
I want to gaze into your eyes for a lifetime.
So that I knew you were there for me
I firmly believe you will always be with me.

Time after time you were there for me
Even though time flies and things change,

"

Deceiving Xiao Zheng and Lin Tong might be easy, but deceiving Chen Jinzhi and Chu Qingmian is very difficult.

Even if the risk was only one in a thousand, Su Chengyi was unwilling to gamble. Therefore, there was a process in this scam that he never intended to fake from the beginning, which is why he carried out such a meticulous testing process.

Su Chengyi stepped on the gas and stared at the car's speedometer.

Ferrari is a sports car known for its violent aesthetics, and the roar of its engine sounds like the howl of a cheetah on this desolate road.

Even the most perfect test cannot completely eliminate the ultimate risk, but the risk is nothing.

Su Chengyi raised her hand and brushed the wind-blown hair behind her head, clearly knowing what she was doing.

One minute later, the Ferrari will crash into the roadside guardrail.

The speed and the road section were controlled perfectly, consistent with his plan, so the degree of injury would also be consistent.

He wants to take them back from their respective lives and worlds.

Even the most despicable means, even a bloody deception.

Thirty seconds, fifteen seconds, five seconds.

Su Chengyi stared straight ahead, bracing himself for the impending impact.

however--

"boom!!!"

A dilapidated van suddenly appeared out of the blind spot and collided head-on with the Ferrari in a flash!

Such a massive impact caused a person to instantly lose their hearing and sight, and Su Chengyi ultimately did not have time to see the ferocious face of the person in the driver's seat opposite her.

At the last vestiges of his consciousness, memories flashed by like a revolving lantern, and he seemed to hear Death sigh softly in his ear.

However, teaching you to bear pain can also be considered a dark romance.
