Chapter 40 Coach
Ellie sat at the front of the car, picked up the wireless microphone and turned to look at everyone: "This week's training content is vehicle driving. According to statistics, 75% of kidnapping cases are related to vehicles. They may set up checkpoints to intercept vehicles, create traffic accidents, or force cars to stop. When you go out with your employer, the vehicle is a guarantee of your and your employer's safety. The first lesson: American-style interception, also known as PIT. Draw all the curtains."

Several LCD screens were lowered, playing the American-style interception footage. Ellie stepped forward, holding the railing with one hand and pausing the footage with the other. She pointed at the screen and said, "The front bumper of your car is against the side of the rear bumper of the target vehicle. This is the most basic action for rear-wheel drive vehicles. After you become proficient in it, we also need to learn how to transform from being a pursued vehicle to an attacking vehicle."

Ellie said: "Before the class starts, we need to know your driving skills first. Students who are very confident in their driving skills and know PIT, please raise your hands."

Cui Jian raised his hand and Ai Li nodded. As expected, Ai Li continued, "Students who are proficient in driving motor vehicles and have driven more than 30,000 kilometers, please raise your hands."

This time five students raised their hands.

Ellie said: "Those who do not have a driver's license and have never driven a motor vehicle, please raise your hands."

Shi Feng and Nangong raised their hands together. Seeing Ai Li looking at him, Shi Feng said dissatisfiedly: "I'm only 16 years old." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

Ai Li said: "Cui Jian, you are responsible for teaching them how to drive."

Cui Jian replied: "Instructor, you cannot drive a motor vehicle if you are under 18 years old."

Ellie said, "The place we are going to is a closed road."

Cui Jian checked the legal provisions on his phone. He was a law-abiding citizen. Seeing this, Ai Li couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "It's him who broke the law, not you."

That makes sense. Cui Jian put down his phone and asked, "Manual or automatic?"

Ellie replied: "Manual transmission."

……

In the eastern suburbs, 15 kilometers away from Hancheng, there is a factory that has been abandoned for more than years for environmental protection. The factory frame and roads are still preserved. Due to the fact that large trucks ran over it in the early years and there was no maintenance, the road conditions are relatively average.

The base camp is located in a small square, where there are four roads leading into the factory. The teaching assistant has built a sun and rain shelter, with coffee, water and various beverages on the table. There is a food truck next to the shelter, and dozens of surveillance cameras inside the shelter.

There were seven different second-hand cars parked in the small square. Some were turbocharged, some were naturally aspirated. Some were off-road jeeps, some were ordinary sedans. Some were automatic, and some were manual.

What amazed everyone was that there was a large auto repair shop in the square. There were at least six people in repairman uniforms working here, and rescue vehicles were parked outside the repair shop. Ellie answered everyone's questions: "This is the car training base of the Bodyguard Academy. The hardware is relatively simple at present, and even the surveillance is temporarily installed. Except for Shi Feng, Nangong and Cui Jian, everyone else went to the base camp to wear protective gear."

Ellie: "Cui Jian, you guys use the leftmost lane."

Cui Jian: “I understand.” Can’t you send someone to teach?
Ai Li seemed to guess what Cui Jian was thinking: "Teaching technology is also a skill. The team will need management in the future. I am optimistic about you."

Cui Jian took the pancake and answered confidently, "Yes, instructor."

Starting from 40 kilometers per hour, two vehicles form a group. The front vehicle maintains 40 kilometers per hour, and the rear vehicle needs to stop the front vehicle. While the two vehicles are training, other trainees watch the images transmitted by the drone at the base camp.

After the first relatively successful interception, Ellie took the intercom and said, "Stop the car. There is a 200-meter gap between the two cars. Now it's a 5-minute interception competition. The speed of the car in front should be kept between 30-50 and try to avoid being intercepted. The loser will return to the base camp and do 100 push-ups. The winner will receive a bonus of 10. Thunder Emperor, dog!"

The two cars immediately became nervous. As the race started, the two cars started almost at the same time. The front car was limited in speed and was quickly caught up by the rear car. However, the front car had a variable speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Whenever the rear car hit the rear of the front car, the front car would suddenly speed up or slow down. In less than a minute, the two cars collided three times, but the rear car never stopped the front car.

Everyone was extremely nervous watching from the drone's perspective, feeling sorry for the car behind missing the opportunity and applauding the car in front for persisting.

On the other side, under the scorching sun, Cui Jian, wearing a hat and holding a weed he had pulled from the road, said in a dull voice, "Back, back, full left, left, left, stop."

The car fell off the road, with one rear wheel hanging out and the frame hanging on the road. Cui Jian forced a smile, helped Nangong, whose legs were shaking, out of the car, and waved to the people behind him. The rescue vehicle following behind came up, and several people lifted the car back to the road together.

Nangong asked timidly: "Am I stupid?"

Cui Jian comforted: "No, you just lost a wheel." Nangong: "I get very nervous when the car moves."

Cui Jian: "You have to believe that the car is more nervous than you are. Let's not learn parallel parking first, let's learn straight driving first. You see there is a line in the middle of the road, dividing the road in half, you should drive the car on the left as much as possible. You can go slowly, come and get in the car."

Nangong got in the car, and Cui Jian gently fastened her seat belt: "Step on the clutch brake, release the handbrake, shift to first gear, lift the clutch, go slowly, feel the car shake a little, release the brake, slowly lift the clutch, lightly step on the accelerator, yes, yes, yes. It stalled, it doesn't matter, do it again, yes, yes."

Cui Jian looked back at the other car. Shi Feng was playing with his phone in the air conditioner. He thought, is this guy pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? So after Nangong turned off the engine again, he went back and knocked on the window of Shi Feng's car: "Go in a straight line."

Cui Jian left, and Shi Fengtou stuck his head out: "How are you leaving?"

"As I said, hold the clutch and brake, check your phone, I'll send the steps to our group." Cui Jian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to go to Nangong's car to teach patiently. Finally, Nangong got on the road smoothly, Cui Jian encouraged him with the walkie-talkie: "Very good, now ignore the clutch, use the brake and accelerator to control the speed of the vehicle, and practice your driving sense. Nangong, too far to the left, brake." The car flipped into the 50-centimeter-high curb.

Cui Jian changed the channel on the intercom: "Please rescue car No. 1. Car No. 2, what are you doing?"

Shi Feng felt extremely aggrieved: "The car won't move."

Cui Jian: “Is it in gear?”

Shi Feng: "Hang up."

Cui Jian: "What about the coordination of clutch and brake?"

Shi Feng: "The coordination is perfect."

Cui Jian thought for a while and asked, "Did you light the fire?"

Shi Feng: "What is fire?"

Cui Jian was silent for a moment, then took out his intercom and changed the channel: "Calling the boss."

Ellie: "Got it. Go ahead."

Cui Jian: "Send two driving school coaches over here."

Ellie: "It's definitely not easy to learn how to drive at first. You have to be patient."

Cui Jian: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and kill them."

Ai Li: "You are responsible for guiding Shi Feng. If Nangong really can't learn, forget it. She will definitely be responsible for technical logistics."

Cui Jian: "I think Shi Feng runs faster than the car."

Ellie: "Cui Jian." draw out the tone.

Cui Jian was helpless: "Okay."

Ellie thought for a moment and said, "Come back after everyone arrives and show everyone your interception skills." She still wanted to see if Cui Jian was bragging.

Cui Jian was certainly not bragging, he made 100% successful stops in four attempts. Ellie was very satisfied, but at the same time she felt that Cui Jian could not learn anything from this course, so she sent him back to being a coach.
