Hu Lei's mind was blank as she rode her motorcycle. She felt numb. There was nothingness in her mind and soul. She accelerated without a care, perhaps in an attempt to wake herself up from the hollowness that was consuming her.
When she got to the highway, she did not even notice the traffic jam. She simply wove through the vehicles without concerning herself with safety.
Unfortunately, this meant that she was no longer in the sight of the bodyguards who always watched her from a distance.
But she did not care.
Her mind could not grasp such a small detail. She just wanted to drift away from the nightmare that was her life.
She rode without a care for the laws. Only her well-honed instincts which had been developed by handling the motorcycle in harsh conditions kept her from getting into an accident. When she reached a red light, she did not slow down. Instead, she accelerated and passed in between the vehicles moving across.
