Chapter 51: Losing Rank

Lin Zhi Jing, sitting up front, snorted disdainfully: "You think max is something you can buy with money?"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to see max."

Bao Jing, mocked by Lin Zhi Jing, clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing dangerously—an instinctive move a hunting falcon makes before battle.

Lin Zhi Jing caught his gaze from the front, taking it all in, and smirked: "What, just stating a fact—you still want to hit me? Don't forget, I'm your lifesaver."

Lin Zhi Jing's tone carried a hint of teasing, and yet he had hit upon Bao Jing's inner thoughts.

If I had to say, before Bao Jing could still tolerate it, but now he only feels that if he doesn't beat to death this bastard Lin Zhi Jing, he just won't believe it!

Thinking this, Bao Jing suddenly moved and threw a punch at Lin Zhi Jing in front.

This punch, he didn't use any supernatural ability, just pure strength—even if it landed on Lin Zhi Jing, it wouldn't hurt him.

But.

Bao Jing just froze midair like that, and the atmosphere in the back seat turned awkward.

Ye Xi'an saw Bao Jing suddenly leap up and instinctively moved to stop him, but before she could touch him, Bao Jing halted—midair he hung, and her hand hung midair as well.

"Huh."

This time Lin Zhi Jing wasn't giving a snide laugh; he genuinely found Bao Jing funny.

He simply knows nothing about the power of technology, yet he actually dared to attack me, his master, inside max?

"Sorry, Bao Jing, I forgot to tell you: max has an emergency stop system. If someone in the back tries to attack me, max will harden its safety metal claw, freezing your movement."

So now Bao Jing is firmly locked in midair by the safety metal claw on his body—aside from his head and legs, he can't move at all.

Ye Xi'an tried to pull the metal claw open, but the harder she pulled, the tighter it got: "Doctor Lin, can you loosen Bao Jing?"

Lin Zhi Jing, operating the console, glanced at Ye Xi'an: "If you call me Zhi Jing, I'll let him go."

"Ah?"

Ye Xi'an was dumbfounded—what is Lin Zhi Jing up to now?

Hearing Lin Zhi Jing dare to tease Ye Xi'an, Bao Jing flared up: "An'an, don't call him—I'm not suffering that much anyway."

"An'an?"

"'An'an is something you can call me?!'"

Lin Zhi Jing deliberately provoked Bao Jing, also to shout Ye Xi'an's name a few more times.

"'An'an, An'an, An'an—I just called it, what can you do to me?'"

"You!"

Watching the two trade childish remarks, Ye Xi'an slapped her own forehead, unable to bear watching them any longer.

Do these two still remember they're supposed to be aloof characters? They've gone completely OOC.

"'Little hunting falcon, I'm not arguing with you—this is just losing rank.'"

After mocking Bao Jing, Lin Zhi Jing asked Ye Xi'an: "Where do you live?"

"'First drive to the Free Zone train station, then keep going north—I'll point it out when we get there.'"

Lin Zhi Jing frowned, his eyes serious: "Isn't north of the Free Zone the Slum?"

Ye Xi'an hadn't noticed Lin Zhi Jing's odd mood, and simply replied: "Yeah, I live in the Slum."

"Pfft—"

Max's huge frame suddenly sputtered out, and Ye Xi'an, thrown forward by inertia, lurched violently—her purple hair almost burying her.

Bao Jing had it worse: at the instant of braking, Lin Zhi Jing released the metal claw's control, causing him to tumble forward.
