Chapter 1015: Chapter 1014: Encountering a 100-Ton Overloaded King on the Road

The group couldn’t decide where to go for fun, so they went downstairs, got in the car, and planned to wander the streets, maybe catch a movie and have a meal.

Having just returned from the East Sea Dragon Palace, they were a bit fatigued by natural beauty, so they decided to enjoy the bustling city instead.

As Lu Zheng drove, he casually mentioned that the authorities had discovered their presence.

"Really?" Shen Ying blinked, "Does that mean we don’t have to hide our actions anymore?"

Liu Qingyan chuckled, "As if we were hiding much before. Even when we were in the Great Jing, we wouldn’t flaunt our powers in front of ordinary folks, you know?"

"That’s different," Shen Ying waved her hand, "but at least we won’t have to sneak around."

"That’s true," Lu Zheng thought for a while and agreed with Shen Ying, "So we don’t have to be overly cautious or restrained anymore."

Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng, "So, can we tell our parents?"

Lu Zheng stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully, "We could consider telling them a bit. Maybe that way, they won’t keep pushing us to get married?"

Lin Wan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "That’s your main concern?"

Lin Wan knew Lu Zheng’s parents well, but when Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan heard they might meet the in-laws, they couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

"Should we... go home for the New Year?" Liu Qingyan asked hesitantly.

Shen Ying perked up her ears too.

"My mom asked if I’m coming back for the National Day," Lu Zheng said casually.

Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying instantly breathed heavily.

"I refused," Lu Zheng continued.

Shen Ying, "..."

Liu Qingyan, "..."

"I’m driving, driving, slow down, slow down, hahaha..."

As Lu Zheng laughed and dodged the pinches from the two women, he continued driving while Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying huddled close to Lin Wan, asking about Lu Zheng’s parents’ preferences.

In this regard, Lin Wan definitely had the lead among the sisters, especially when...

"We’re not like ordinary people, would uncle and aunt..." Liu Qingyan worried.

"What are you thinking!" Lu Zheng shook his head and gently scolded.

Liu Qingyan pursed her lips, and Lin Wan quickly comforted her, "Sister Qingyan, don’t worry about it. You’re both legendary figures; uncle and aunt will surely be thrilled. If anything, I’m the ordinary one..."

"You’re the daughter-in-law they first recognized, and the only one among us who’s part of the Human Race," Shen Ying sighed, a bit self-pitying and worried, "I’ve even been married once in my previous life..."

Lu Zheng was speechless on the side.

"You guys comforting each other by putting yourselves down is making me feel the fake sisterhood here... Ah ah ah, don’t hit, don’t hit, I’m driving!"

Seeing Lu Zheng plead for mercy, the three finally retracted their fair hands from pinching Lu Zheng’s arms, pinching his ribs, and tugging his ears.

"Tsk tsk!" Lu Zheng shook his head while driving, "The world is really degenerating, people are not what they used to be, Qingyan, Ying’Er, you’ve learned to be bad..."

They chatted and laughed while driving, then stopped at a red light in front of an overpass, with seven or eight cars waiting under the bridge for the opposite light.

"What should we have for lunch?" Lu Zheng asked.

Lin Wan laughed, "We just had breakfast, and it’s not even ten yet. Isn’t it a bit early to talk about lunch..."

"Squeak——"

A faint sound reached the car, and Lu Zheng couldn’t help but frown, then looked up and scanned the area with his Divine Thought.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a loud crash, and the overpass in front of them suddenly snapped and came crashing down!

"What the hell!?"

Lu Zheng’s mouth twitched, raising his hand, an immense force appeared, holding up the collapsing overpass and a massive truck sliding halfway down.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!"

Screams, running sounds, and honking blended into chaos, with cars colliding and hanging in mid-air on the broken overpass, while cars crowded together under it.

"Run! The bridge is collapsing!"

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Help! Help!"

Seeing the overpass "stuck" mid-air, people waiting below quickly abandoned their cars and ran out of the overpass’s shadow as fast as they could.

Meanwhile, people inside cars on the broken overpass dared not leave their vehicles, loudly calling for help.

The massive truck that caused the collapse wobbled tilted at the edge of the overpass, saved by Lu Zheng’s Cloud Qi, otherwise it would’ve fallen long ago.

"What’s going on?" Shen Ying exclaimed, "The bridge collapsed?"

"This bridge seems well-built, though?" Liu Qingyan asked, "A jerry-built project?"

"Not a jerry-built project! It’s overloaded!" Lin Wan said angrily, "Those hundred-ton kings again, why haven’t they been fully managed yet? And letting them on the overpass in broad daylight, what are the responsible ones even doing?"

"What are hundred-ton kings?"

"This bridge is meant to hold 40 to 50 tons, no problem under normal conditions, but this truck weighs a hundred tons carrying hot-rolled coils, right?" Lin Wan said angrily.

"You underestimate these overloaded drivers; this truck’s carrying six hot-rolled coils, plus the vehicle weight, makes it about two hundred tons," Lu Zheng said coldly, "If we didn’t happen to pass by today, the people in these two cars underneath would’ve definitely died."

"How many overload accidents have already happened?" Lin Wan gritted her teeth, "These overloaded trucks are ticking time bombs, disregarding other people’s lives!"

"The cost of breaking the law is just too low, allowing bad currency to drive out good currency," Lu Zheng watched as everyone below had escaped, then gently released his hand, relaxing.

"Creak—creak—"

The overpass slowly came down, resting on the ground, of course, crushing the cars beneath it.

"Boom—boom—"

The hot-rolled coils on the truck rolled down one by one, landing on the ground with a thumping sound.

Meanwhile, the screams from the cars on the bridge faded, as people realized they had safely reached the ground, at least their lives were saved.

Well, there were still two cars dangling on the edge of the broken overpass, swaying about a meter or two from the ground, looking dangerous. Liu Qingyan gestured and pulled them down, landing them gently on the ground.

"Alright, let’s leave the rest to the police."

Lu Zheng shook his head, turned the steering wheel, and drove away.
