Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 888 - 887: Chu Ge Swears an Oath

Seeing Mu Lingshan's completely unmoved appearance, Chu Ge was truly anxious. He turned his head to look straight ahead, and his scalp immediately tingled as his pupils contracted intensely.It was a speeding Land Rover, with a man and a woman inside. The man in the driver's seat was animatedly talking to the woman, not paying attention to the road at all.

The Land Rover was moving very fast, and at this rate, in just another two seconds, the police car and the Land Rover would definitely collide violently.

Of course, for the people in these two cars, especially for Chu Ge and Mu Lingshan, it was extremely dangerous. After all, the Land Rover was much sturdier than their police car. If they crashed, wouldn't they be smashed to pieces?

Damn it! A chill ran from the top of Chu Ge's head, spreading through his body like an electric current, making his hair almost stand on end.

He grabbed the steering wheel from Mu Lingshan's hands and violently turned it to the right. The police car shot out diagonally, almost scraping past the Land Rover.

After avoiding the Land Rover, an Elantra came straight at them. Chu Ge frantically turned the steering wheel several times and narrowly avoided this car as well.

However, it's obviously too early to be happy. There were still many cars on this stretch of road, and with Mu Lingshan not releasing the accelerator, no matter how good Chu Ge's driving skills were, controlling the steering wheel from the passenger seat was very awkward. Inevitably, this police car swayed left and right, like a heavily drunk man.

After an incredibly thrilling twenty seconds or so, the wildly speeding police car finally reached a relatively safer section of road and no longer drew those death-defying arcs, and the car body finally stabilized.

Chu Ge had no time to catch his breath when Mu Lingshan suddenly slammed on the brakes. Caught completely unprepared, his body lurched forward. He instinctively reached out his hand to stop his head from hitting the front.

"Mu Lingshan! Are you crazy…"

Before Chu Ge could finish a full sentence, Mu Lingshan started the car again quickly, once more directly accelerating to the maximum speed. Chu Ge's forward-leaning upper body was suddenly pressed back into the seat by inertia, his back tightly glued to the seatback.

Turning his head to look at the cold-faced Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge felt anxious and angry in his heart. He opened his mouth but eventually said nothing. He was really afraid that this Tiger Girl might once again divert her attention from the road to him.

Chu Ge had no doubt that Mu Lingshan could definitely pull such a stunt. He felt how unlucky he was, first Mu Xiaoting, then Mu Lingshan; why are the women from the Mu family always causing him trouble?

Forget it, let her drive wherever she wants; I'll just keep my eyes on the road and be ready to handle any sudden situation.

In the silence, the police car sped all the way out of the Lidu City District, reaching a deserted dirt road without a soul in sight.

The police car finally screeched to a halt.

To prevent Mu Lingshan from suddenly going berserk again, as soon as the car stopped, Chu Ge grabbed her arm and pushed her onto the back seat.

Mu Lingshan had just tried to get up when Chu Ge pressed her shoulder and pushed her back down, controlling her so she couldn't move.

"Had fun racing? Vent enough? Satisfied?"

Mu Lingshan's body struggled, glaring at Chu Ge with puffed up cheeks, she shouted loudly, "No! It's far from over!"

Chu Ge pressed firmly on Mu Lingshan's shoulder, his brows furrowed, "What exactly do you want to do? Does risking your life sound fun to you? You're not a child anymore; don't you think your behavior is as childish as it can be?"

"I'm risking my life? I'm childish?" Mu Lingshan sneered. "Then are you not risking your life or being childish? Going alone to find Jin Haohun, did you ever think you might never come back? If he found a chance to detonate the bomb on him and blew you to pieces, would you be happy?"

"How many times have I told you, Jin Haohun, I don't know anything about him! Are you crazy? When will you stop?"

On this matter, Chu Ge decided to stand his ground no matter what. Even if Mu Lingshan continued to suspect him, even if her analysis was spot-on, she couldn't find any evidence.

"Yes, I'm crazy, I'm completely insane! Otherwise, why, knowing this, would I be trembling with fear? Otherwise, why would I still consider you the most important man in my life, even after you're married?"

Listening to Mu Lingshan's almost roaring cries, seeing her face flushed red, Chu Ge's grip unconsciously loosened, and he suddenly felt a wave of complicated emotions.

It turned out that what Mu Lingshan truly cared about wasn't the case, but his life and death. This revelation almost overturned his understanding of Mu Lingshan; it practically violated Mu Lingshan's sense of justice.

It turns out that he was that important to her.

As Chu Ge's emotions surged, Mu Lingshan suddenly grabbed his right arm, pulling it fiercely towards her mouth, biting down on his forearm.

Mu Lingshan bit with such force; Chu Ge felt pain, not only in his arm but also in his heart. However, he didn't make a sound and let Mu Lingshan bite hard, his gaze gradually softening.

"Lingshan, I…"

Hearing Chu Ge suddenly soften his tone, Mu Lingshan's body trembled, and a sudden wave of grievance surged in her heart, making her want to cry. She instinctively opened her mouth and let go of Chu Ge's forearm, looking up to meet those complex eyes, waiting for Chu Ge to continue.

"I really didn't do anything dangerous. I did want to find Jin Haohun, but unfortunately, I didn't find him. His death has nothing to do with me."

Chu Ge originally wanted to apologize, but the words changed before they left his mouth.

"Chu Ge, you bastard!" Disappointment flashed in Mu Lingshan's eyes, quickly followed by even stronger anger.

She suddenly pushed Chu Ge away, twisting her waist forcefully to break free from Chu Ge's control, then grabbed his collar, her eyes almost shooting fire.

"I admit I'm not as smart as you, but I'm not stupid either! I've laid it out this clearly, and you still want to be stubborn? Is it that hard for you to tell me the truth? Am I that unworthy of your trust?"

Chu Ge gave a bitter smile, "I didn't do it, what do you want me to admit?"

Seeing Chu Ge's eyes full of sincerity and helplessness, Mu Lingshan slightly furrowed her finely sculpted eyebrows, her gaze wavering a bit, and the grip of her right hand on Chu Ge's collar gradually loosened.

"You... really didn't lie to me? Do you swear it wasn't you who killed Jin Haohun?"

Chu Ge's bitter smile deepened as he raised his right hand, holding up three fingers, "I, Chu Ge, swear to the heavens, it really wasn't me who killed Jin Haohun. If I'm lying, then I'll..."

As Chu Ge said this, Mu Lingshan suddenly reached out to cover his mouth, "Wait a minute!"

Interrupted by Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge felt both warm and slightly proud inside. Heh, finally, I've gotten away with it, right? Besides, Tiger Girl still cares for me, she can't bear to make me swear an oath...

After Mu Lingshan removed her fingers from Chu Ge's lips, he confidently and sincerely said, "Tiger Girl, I really can swear, there's no need for you to stop me."

Mu Lingshan nodded, pulling out her phone as she said, "You misunderstood, I'm not stopping you, I just think it's better to record it, so you can't deny it later."

Saying this, Mu Lingshan had already brought up the recording function on her phone, pressed the record button, and held the phone to Chu Ge's mouth.

"Alright, you can continue swearing now."

Chu Ge's eyes twitched, black lines falling all over the place.

Hey, hey, what happened to the basic trust between people? The gap between ideals and reality is really quite big, isn't it?

"Why are you still standing there? Get on with swearing."

Chu Ge speechlessly blinked, "I mean... you really don't trust me that much?"

"Stop babbling, hurry up." Mu Lingshan gave Chu Ge a side glance, narrowing her eyes slightly, "What? Are you feeling guilty?"

"Nonsense!" Chu Ge said with righteous indignation, "What was done was done, and what wasn't done wasn't done. What do I have to feel guilty about?"

"Then just keep swearing, I've had the recording on for ages now, the phone's right here. Oh, don't play any word games with me. If I think there's a problem, you'll have to swear again until I'm satisfied."

Looking both amused and angry at Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge nodded, "I, Chu Ge, swear to the heavens, if I killed that bastard Jin Haohun, then my height will shorten by one centimeter every day. How's that? Isn't this vow harsh enough?"

Mu Lingshan's eyes twitched, not acknowledging Chu Ge. She really conceded, this vow is harsh, but why does it sound so nonsensical? It truly fits Chu Ge's style...

After waiting a few seconds, Chu Ge asked, "Well? Is it okay or not?"

Mu Lingshan rubbed her forehead, coughed lightly, and glanced at Chu Ge, "Seems like there's no big problem, but you're too cunning, I need to think it over some more."

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "Alright, take your time thinking it over. If you find it not sincere enough, I'll do it again, I don't mind switching it up."

Regarding swearing oaths, Chu Ge really didn't care much. Usually, these things are pretty useless.

To give the simplest example, if oaths worked, all the corrupt officials in the world would have vanished by now. After all, when they joined their respective parties and delivered their inaugural speeches, they all swore oaths.

And honestly, Chu Ge felt that oaths belong to the realm of idealism, which seems a bit contradictory to those who practice materialism, whether individually or collectively.

While Chu Ge was secretly ranting away, Mu Lingshan pondered for a while but didn't find anything wrong. After watching Chu Ge for a moment, she finally nodded and pressed the stop recording button.
