Hammer and Jared were in the same lane, the two cars were rapidly closing in on each other. Now, there were only two possibilities.

Now it was pretty much a gamble on their courage, the stakes were their own lives. Hammer and Jared locked eyes. Hammer’s face was grim, like a man with nothing to lose. But Jared was incredibly calm. Jared didn’t even touch the brakes. In fact, when they were closest, he even stepped on the gas to accelerate. It was a psychological warfare, either surrender first, or risk mutual destruction. K When the cars were almost two yards apart, it was ultimately Hammer who chickened out. He turned the wheel and hit the brakes, and Hammer’s car crashed into the side of the tunnel. At this moment, the cars behind also stopped, the flow of traffic in the tunnel was paralyzed. Jared also quickly stopped, and he got out. The police ran in. Agnes
