241 You Have Won (1/2)

”Scared the shit out of me, we almost knocked the barrier!” Poor Chen Fan, who wanted to play it cool, almost sent the lavish toy that he had just got straight for repairs.

It was smoother drifting on his black BMW. Moreover, this was the first time he took this car out for a ride!

Without even waiting for the hydraulic guillotine shear to rise up completely, Chen Fan took off his seatbelt and came out, his raging anger slowly recovered to calmness. This mentality was akin to the darkness before dawn's arrival, signifying that violent thunders and showers will eventually occur before a moment of peacefulness.

”Knock-knock...knock-knock...” Chen Fan lightly tapped the glass window twice. His dapper and suave actions and his super cool drift made him feel very masculine, but of course nobody knew what was going through in his mind.

”What is it, my little prince from Southern Han Dynasty? Are you trying to use your absurd moves to prove that you're actually a man?” As the dark window slowly descended, Zhang Bingbing, whose name spelled out the meaning of ”coldness”, did not even bother to turn her gaze toward him.

”It's now 8:30 sharp!”

Chen Fan, who was still previously calm, suddenly turned up his volume and pulled his sleeves with undefeatable confidence and swag. ”From today onward, till 8:30pm sharp tomorrow, you will belong to me and only me!”

”To be frank, you are arrogant. I hope you're not lying or just bragging.” Zhang Bingbing took out two chewing gums from nowhere, throwing one to Chen Fan. Meanwhile, she used the tip of her tongue to skillfully open up the wrapper. The rectangular gum broke into half as she took a bite of it.

”Five minutes, for the sake of not letting you lose terribly...I'll stay at the same spot and wait for five minutes!” Chen Fan chewed on his gum and walked to his grey sports car. After adjusting his seat, he smiled and stayed put, as if he was waiting for daybreak to come.

”Your 'humility' will not win you any commendations. Instead, your 'egotism' will be the primary cause of your absolute failure in five minutes.” As she finished her sentence, her Aston Martin turned into a lightning bolt and pulled away.

Counting from the piece of land Chen Fan's foot had landed on to Tianhai City, the distance measured at 150 kilometers in length. It takes less than an hour for a sports car to arrive there.

As Chen Fan made a compromise of five minutes, it had thus increased his time delay for a to-and-fro journey. This would result in the plummet of more than 10 percent of his chances in winning.

Undoubtedly, the price and performance specifications of these two cars varied with extreme disparity. Her Aston Martin's maximum speed was 323 yards, while Chen Fan's was 389 yards. According to this data, Chen Fan would most likely win the race.

However, what had happened in reality? Well...

It was very difficult for Chen Fan to win by relying on his car's performance, because almost no one dared to drive beyond 250 yards at night, unless he had already had enough of living and decided to terminate his life right there and then.

Speeding at night places all emphasis on driving skills and guts. Thus, the actual role of a car's performance plays might be greatly diminished to an extremely tiny range. As long as you are not afraid of dying, you could win by just driving a BMW Z4 worth 600 to 700 thousand dollars with the maximum speed limit gauge removed.

Zhang Bingbing was well aware of this, which was precisely the reason she aggressively launched her provocations. If this situation happened during the day, she might as well just say, ”Hottie, I am yours today!”

For 220 yards, Zhang Bingbing sped at a number she dared not even imagine. One reason for this was that there were only a few lorries that passed by this road, and another reason was that she was in a grumpy mood.

Usually, she hardly sped. Occasionally, even when she felt the mood to do so, she would only do so in purpose-built automobile racing circuits in order to experience the shifts and dashes of a speeding car. Unlike today, where she let herself loosen up completely, disposing all of her inhibitions and burdens.

”A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets”...This phrase seemed to be a reference to herself at the moment.

......

”Three...two...one!”

”Vroom!”

After the countdown ended, Chen Fan relentlessly stepped on the accelerator and went forward. The sudden change of momentum from stationary to motion was too overwhelming, making his chest stifle a little. He found it difficult to breathe.

At three point seven seconds, the speed pulsed from 0 yards to 100!

At seven point five seconds, from 100 yards to 200!

At five seconds, from 200 yards to 260!

This was the staggering motion that a dual turbocharger with 650 horsepower brought about. Coupled with a wide vision-angle and high power xenon lamp, it enabled Chen Fan to have enough time to adapt to the changing road situations, as it simultaneously increased his speed by a large portion.

Numerous road signs reflecting a white sheen whooshed passed Chen Fan's peripheral vision in a fleeting moment. On a straight highway, this ”feral terrestrial raptor” could run at a speed nearing 300 yards per second.

After 13 minutes, with the illumination of the xenon lamp, Chen Fan could already capture the image 200 meters away, it was the motion tracks of an Aston Martin. Then, he quickly plunged the accelerator below his foot and thrust forward with lightning speed.

”Screech…” The Aston Martin at the front reduced its speed unexpectedly, paralleling with an empty-loaded Steyr semi-trailer by its side. Both the driveway and fastlane of three point five meters wide had each been occupied, all that was left was a 5 meters wide emergency lane.

According to such statistics, Chen Fan should have sufficient distance to overtake those vehicles. However, in reality, due to the deliberate obstruction of the Aston Martin, it maintained a distance of about a meter between the divider and the semi-trailer. If Chen Fan wanted to overtake it forcefully, it was very likely that he would be in close collision with that car.
