How can it be harder than the journey to the West?

“Damn it!”

Chairman Wang’s head hit the back of the front seat, and he couldn’t help but curse in pain.

Xu Ning quickly put the car in park and pressed the electronic handbrake before opening the door to help Chairman Wang out of the car.

“What’s going on? Did the car in front reverse?” Chairman Wang was both surprised and angry. Anyone would be upset to be hit like this so suddenly.

Xu Ning didn’t answer. Instead, he rubbed his neck, which had just taken the impact, and walked towards the car in front.

At this moment, the driver’s door of the front car opened, and a young woman got out.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

“I really didn’t do it on purpose!”

“I just reversed a bit, and then when I started, I forgot I was still in reverse gear!”

Looking at her flustered appearance, she was clearly quite frightened by the accident.

A Female Driver!

Xu Ning had nothing more to say.

Actually, it’s quite interesting. Although many people criticize Female Drivers, according to the probability of traffic accidents, Female Drivers are actually lower than male drivers.

Because most male drivers drive impatiently and aggressively, the probability of accidents is naturally higher.

Most Female Drivers, however, drive steadily, so their accident rate is definitely lower.

But why are Female Drivers often joked about?

It’s precisely because Female Drivers are more likely to make basic mistakes when driving, and many bizarre accidents are caused by Female Drivers.

Just like now, starting backward at a red light—such an absurd mistake is truly not something an ordinary person would make.

Xu Ning didn’t even know how to express his speechless mood at this moment.

Never mind, let’s check the car damage!

When the front and rear of cars collide, the front usually sustains more damage, and this time was no exception.

The Tesla only had its rear bumper shattered and its rear fender dented.

But the front of this Maybach was heavily damaged and probably couldn’t even be driven on the road.

Chairman Wang also walked over and observed it, frowning involuntarily.

The car being damaged was a minor issue; the delay to his itinerary and time bothered him greatly.

Xu Ning sighed, turned his head, and asked the young woman driving the Tesla, “You admit it’s your full responsibility, right?”

The young woman nodded repeatedly. Although her driving skills were mediocre, she wasn’t unreasonable or difficult.

“I’ll report it to insurance. My third-party liability insurance has 3 million yuan, which should be enough to cover even a Maybach.”

After speaking, she called her insurance company.

About 20 minutes later, the insurance company’s claims adjuster arrived.

There was no problem with the accident liability assessment, and the insurance company would not evade compensation.

However, a practical problem lay before Xu Ning and Chairman Wang.

The car definitely couldn’t be driven and had to be repaired.

But where to repair it?

Find a local Mercedes-Benz 4S Store to repair it?

But car repair isn’t a one or two-day affair; they couldn’t just wait around here, could they?

And even if they changed their mode of transport to leave, they would still have to find someone to pick up the car after it was repaired, which would be very troublesome.

The other option was to find a tow truck and transport the car directly back to Modu for repairs there.

However, this would be a bit expensive.

Fortunately, at Chairman Wang’s level, he certainly wouldn’t care about such a small expense, so he asked the claims adjuster to help arrange a tow truck.

After all this was handled, Chairman Wang and Xu Ning exchanged glances, both with expressions of wry amusement.

They had just finished talking about being 'Lost in Thailand,' and now they really were 'Lost in Thailand.'

The car was gone!

What now?

Take the high-speed train or a plane to Modu?

But the problem was that Chairman Wang was averse to these two modes of travel; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had his driver drive from Modu to Didu.

After some thought, Xu Ning said with a bitter smile, “Chairman Wang, how about we rent a car here and drive to Modu again?”

Chairman Wang’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. “Good, good, good, let’s rent a car then!”

So the two wandered around the county town and finally found a car rental agency.

Originally, it was just past 8 AM when they exited the highway, but after dealing with the accident and renting a car, it was already noon.

“Come on, Xiao Xu, let’s eat first.”

“We’ll get back on the highway after eating.”

Chairman Wang had regained his good mood and said cheerfully to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning naturally agreed, so the two found a seemingly decent restaurant for lunch.

Lunch didn’t take too long, and soon the two were back on the road, passing through the county town to another highway entrance.

Driving on the highway again, Xu Ning gave a self-deprecating smile.

This trip had certainly been eventful.

Surely, there wouldn’t be any more mishaps, right?

But facts proved that he was still too naive.

After driving for about another hour on the highway, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in his stomach.

It wasn’t just a little uncomfortable; he felt like he had diarrhea.

Xu Ning immediately made a judgment and then began to look for the nearest service area on the signs.

But just then, he distinctly heard a gurgling sound from the back seat.

“Oh dear!”

“This is bad, this is bad!”

“Xiao Xu, my stomach isn’t feeling too good. Quickly find a service area or the nearest highway exit!”

Chairman Wang said, clutching his stomach and frowning.

Xu Ning had a wry smile on his face. “Chairman Wang, my stomach isn’t feeling well either. Could it be that what we ate for lunch wasn’t very clean?”

Chairman Wang also chuckled when he heard this.

“Alright, I told you we were the real-life version of 'Lost in Thailand'!”

The nearest was a highway exit, so Xu Ning took the exit and quickly booked two rooms at a nearby hotel.

After all, Chairman Wang was the chairman of such a large corporation; making him relieve himself by the roadside would be a bit too much, wouldn’t it?

Not to mention Chairman Wang, even Xu Ning himself would be too embarrassed to do that!

As for why they booked two rooms instead of one, it was certainly because one toilet wouldn’t be enough!

Although there’s that saying, good brothers are those who have diarrhea at the same time but let the other go first.

But Xu Ning and Chairman Wang couldn’t call each other brothers, so who would go first was an issue.

Xu Ning wasn’t Chairman Wang’s employee, so he had no intention of sacrificing himself for Chairman Wang.

And for Chairman Wang to voluntarily give up the toilet to Xu Ning was even less realistic.

So, they just took one each, and no one had to fight.

Pulling down his pants and sitting on the toilet, Xu Ning finally let out a long sigh.

What a relief!

It was fortunate that the highway exit was very close; otherwise, there was a real danger of not being able to control it.

Damn unscrupulous merchants, that lunch wasn’t cheap, yet it still gave them both upset stomachs. Truly despicable.

After sitting in the bathroom for a long time, he got up for a bit, but then the feeling came back, so he quickly rushed back into the bathroom.

After seemingly several rounds of this, Xu Ning felt like he was going to be dehydrated.

Suddenly, Xu Ning shivered.

How was Chairman Wang?

He was young and already struggling; Chairman Wang, being so old, was probably worse off.

There had been no sound for so long; surely nothing had happened, right?

He quickly went to the adjacent room and opened the bathroom door without any hesitation.

He found Chairman Wang collapsed inside from exhaustion!

In great alarm, he quickly called for an ambulance and also called the hotel front desk to ask for their help.

After much effort, Chairman Wang was finally taken away by ambulance to the hospital.

In the ambulance, Xu Ning felt a sense of unreality.

Why did this designated driving trip feel even harder than the Journey to the West?

Could it get any more outrageous!
