Chapter 415 - Start (2/2)
…
…
In a short while, the three cars were lined up at the foot of the mountain, with the two burning gasoline drums marking the Start/ Finish line. Positioned from left to right were the Porsche Supercar, followed by the Maserati GranCabrio, and, finally, the Trumpchi.
All the drones assigned to the various road sections had lifted off into the air. A huge screen was mounted on the sidewall of the cargo compartment of a truck, and as video signals were received from the drones, they were played on the screen, keeping the spectators aware of the race situation at each road section.
Everyone had their eyes fixed on the huge silver screen, hardly blinking. The match-up between Wolf King and Queen, which had been long-awaited, was finally here, and the race was about to start. The spectators were thrilled and extremely excited, especially about the wager. If Queen lost, she would have to sleep with Wolf King—and, being the stunning beauty that she was, just the thought of it made their imaginations run wild and their blood vessels dilated.
On the internet, the Wild Wolf Mountain’s forum was also boiling over as millions of its members were waiting for this thrilling race to start online.
“Likes for the Queen, how many of you support Queen?”
“Likes for Wolf King! Let’s see how many of us brothers here support Wolf King?”
“Who’s that guy in the Trumpchi? Why is he even getting into the race between Wolf King and Queen? Doesn’t he feel ashamed?”
All sorts of posts would incessantly pop up on the Wild Wolf Mountain forum, but most followers would check the top posts dedicated to the live streaming footage, which they considered as good as a live broadcast.

The rules were simple—the drivers were to race for three laps around the Wild Wolf Mountain circuit, and the first person who crossed the Start/ Finish line between the gasoline drums would be declared the winner.
When Shen Qingyan got into the Maserati, she turned to Su Li and said, “Li, if I tell you that your husband’s an idiot, I suppose you won’t feel too upset, right?”
Su Li had already taken off her sunglasses and was glancing over at the Trumpchi next to them. “Compared to his IQ, I am more concerned about where they got the money from,” she said.
“That brother of yours has a whole network of evil associates, so he can easily gather 2.5 million just by asking around. Hah, it looks like they’re both ‘two-hundred-and-fives.’ I help him win back 250, and they’re going to toss 250 right back out again. No one can be dumber than these two,” Shen Qingyan ranted, glaring angrily at the Trumpchi.
“You better keep your mind on the race. Let’s not discuss this now, I will settle the accounts with them after the game,” Su Li responded.
Shen Qingyan retracted her gaze from the Trumpchi and started focusing on getting into the mental zone.
“How confident you are in winning against Lei Shijian?” Su Li asked.
Shen Qingyan thought for a while and answered, “Seven to eight out of ten. His skills aren’t bad. It was his overconfidence that lost him the previous two races. This time, he has even replaced his car with a really good one, so I think he’ll be going all out this time. Seven or eight may even be an overestimate.”
Su Li frowned at the odds. “Then why did you agree to that disgusting condition he proposed just now?” she asked.
Shen Qingyan smiled and said, “This is nothing. I had agreed to conditions worse than this when I was abroad; it just happened that the person wasn’t so honored to let me serve him.”
When she heard that, Su Li’s frown intensified as she couldn’t imagine anything more disgusting than the conditions proposed by Lei Shijian.
In the Trumpchi, Su Canye was sitting in the front next to Xiao Luo, and he looked depressed and was in abject misery. He was even considering suicide and looked as distressed as a person who had lost a five-million-dollar lottery ticket.
“Calm down, it will turn out fine. Everything in the present turns into the past,” Xiao Luo said, trying to comfort him.
“How can I, when you’re f*ckin racing against supercars with a Trumpchi? This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing anyone could ever do in this world. After the race, my sister will definitely kill me. Why are you laughing? Do you think she’ll let you go too? She can even kill me, her own brother; do you think she’ll not be bold enough to kill you, her cheap husband? You underestimate my sister… Oh, God, why is this happening to me now? Which ghost did I have the misfortune to bump into?”
Su Canye was already having visions of what was to come and anticipated being hung up and beaten by Su Li. The scene in his mind was absolutely terrifying! When Xiao Luo stole a glance at Su Canye, his face was covered in tears…
