Chapter 418 - Godly Car (2/2)

Compared to the driver of the Trumpchi, Lei Shijian and Shen Qingyan both appeared dull and lifeless in the fans’ eyes. The fact that a domestic car could catch up to their supercars was every bit a sharp slap across their faces. This was as good as admitting that, had Xiao Luo been driving a supercar, he would already have been streets ahead of them.

“Where did this b*stard come out from? This is way too ridiculous!”

Lei Shijian had a bad feeling about this, and his earlier self-confidence had all but disappeared. His opponent had caught up with him just by driving a Trumpchi; if he had not witnessed something like this with his own eyes, he would have refused to believe such a thing was possible, even with a gun pointed at his head.

“Boss, you can’t have a breakdown now. If you lose, you’ll have to compensate five million dollars to that man,” his co-driver said.

“Scr*w your mum! If you say something that unlucky again, I’m going to throw you out of this vehicle while going at full speed!”

Lei Shijian fumed when he heard those comments, for he was rather superstitious, and there were many things that you couldn’t say to him before or during a race. To mention something as bad as this was basically a jinx as far as he was concerned.

The man shut his mouth immediately.

Trailing in the Maserati, Shen Qingyan looked at the tail lights of the Trumpchi, still in shock. “I’ve underestimated this jerk once again. Li, your man, is not a simple guy. If you have a chance, you should properly investigate him,” she said, “The first time I saw him, I knew he was different, and I even heard that Yang Hongzhi is now mentally unstable and going crazy. I don’t know what the reason might be, but you never know, it could be related to him.”

Su Li didn’t say anything, and she stared right in front without blinking, deep in thought—he possessed unbelievable basketball skills, had mastery over four foreign languages, and now he had just displayed god-like driving skills; no matter how one looked at it, there was no way Xiao Luo was an ordinary person. Su Li suddenly felt that she hardly knew anything about Xiao Luo and realized that whatever she knew about him was merely the tip of the iceberg.

In the Trumpchi, Su Canye’s face was as white as a sheet, he looked terrible, and he felt even worse. Being a competitive racer himself, he should already have gotten used to drifting at high speeds, but in the little time that he had spent riding in this Trumpchi with Xiao Luo, he finally had to admit that he couldn’t handle it at all. To be more precise, it wasn’t that he wasn’t used to drifting, but rather, it was the death-defying way that his brother-in-law, Xiao Luo, drove that he couldn’t get used to, and his head was in a perpetual spin.

There was no way Xiao Luo could catch up to Lei Shijian and Shen Qingyan on the straight course, but on the winding roads of Wild Wolf Mountain, the Trumpchi was like a dragon entering its domain. There was no let-up in speed, whether Xiao Luo was driving on a straight course or driving on the winding road sections, and he seemed to completely ignore the principles of centripetal force and traction.

Terrified, Su Canye endured the harrowing ride and kept himself from vomiting. “Brother-in-law, you’re practically a monster!” he said as he stole a glance at Xiao Luo.

“Shut up!”

Xiao Luo scowled and looked straight ahead, not wanting to be distracted.

…

“Alright, folks… we’re heading towards the serpentine bend now, a tricky, continuous S-shaped section of the course, so let’s see what kind of performance this Dark Horse can put up,” the commentator said, “Ladies and gentlemen, please do not blink, because, at the upcoming S-shaped course, we can see for ourselves how the Trumpchi was able to catch up earlier. Okay, let us all stay alert and have a good look…”

The commentator, a tall and skinny young man, was now suddenly giving more attention to the Trumpchi. For, like everyone else, he was extremely curious how this Trumpchi had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and how it was able to catch up despite falling so far behind in the early part of the race.

Everyone had their eyes on the large screen, paying full attention to the race and hardly daring to breathe or blink an eye. They had a strong hunch that this Trumpchi would reveal its true potential soon and would charge all the way to the finish line.

“Keep dreaming, as long as I drift towards the inner lane every single time, he can forget about overtaking me!”

Lei Shijian was getting updates through his co-driver’s phone and was aware of everyone’s sentiments. The posts were coming in fast and furious, and he wasn’t pleased with what he heard. As a right turn came up, Lei Shijian immediately took the right lane to initiate his drift, thereby negating any chance Xiao Luo had of overtaking him.
