Chapter 333: Arrogance

Tang Xiu was a bit surprised, since it was needless to say that Ji Mu was an affluent character in Changxi City. But how would someone dare to make trouble in his event? As he asked it out, only then did he understand the whole story and suddenly laughed, “It’s kind of normal for people to gamble with small stakes when there’s a competition. Anyhow, we won’t let you lose vain, though. If we lose, we’ll also put out 20 million like everyone else. But if we win, the gambling stake will be ours.”

Ji Mu was slightly surprised.

Was it just a small bet? 20 million was only a small gamble?

Such a remark suddenly piqued his interest toward Tang Xiu’s identity. As he inquired Chi Nan about it, the latter only laughed, “I don’t have any say on it.”

“In that case, it’s decided!” Ji Mu nodded and said, “Brother Tang, since it’s your first time coming here, don’t you want to get familiar with the race track? How about you familiarize yourself with the track first and then we begin the game?”

“Do we still have enough time?” asked Tang Xiu.

“To complete the track length of the entire Laoshan Highway, one would only need to spend a dozen minutes if their speed is fast enough,” said Ji Mu.

“Alright. Then I’ll go for a lap,” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Chi Nan, accompany me!”

“OK!” Chi Nan nodded.

“It’s 15 minutes to eleven now. I wonder if you can finish a lap within the set time. Were you to affect the race, I’m afraid the others won’t be happy,” Li Zhen came, surrounded by a group of people, with a ridiculing look on his face. He observed Tang Xiu for a few moments before his sight finally landed on Chi Nan.

“Chi Nan, you once played here. What is Laoshan Highway’s fastest record?”

“It’s 11 minutes and 45 seconds.”

“That should be about the same. Well, if I can’t lap around Laoshan Highway within 15 minutes, I’m afraid participating in this race is meaningless. Right, looking at you, you should be the one calling the shots of these chaps. How should I call you?”

“Li Zhen!”

“Got your name. If I were to lose the game today, I’ll give you 40 million! But do you dare to accept my demand if you were to lose?” Tang Xiu nodded and said.

Frowning, Li Zhen then asked, “What do you want?”

“If I win, you will have to stay away from me when you see me later.” Said Tang Xiu.

Raising his brows, a burst of light flashed from Li Zhen’s eyes as he could vaguely feel the subtle meaning behind Tang Xiu’s words. It seemed like that there was a grudge between them.

“Do we know each other?” asked Li Zhen.

“Nope,” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “I never met you before.”

Li Zhen frowned, “Then why you…”

“It’s nothing,” said Tang Xiu indifferently, “I am someone who doesn’t like trouble, yet bossy young masters like you are very easy to provoke troubles. So you had better stay away from me so that we won’t have a conflict later.”

With mock and ridicule on his face, Li Zhen said, “You are a farsighted person, eh. OK, I’ll be staying away from you when I see you in the future if I were to lose.”

Slightly nodding in response, Tang Xiu then gave Chi Nan a hand signal as they walked toward the Lamborghini. After familiarizing himself with the car, he started it up!

Though Tang Xiu got his driver license just recently and only had a short time driving, yet he was pretty good at it. As long as he could familiarize himself with the control, it was easy to drive a car at high speeds. After all, his vision and reaction rate was far beyond ordinary people. Hence, the Lamborghini’s engine roared as it flashed out in an instant.

“Chi Nan, you know this road well. Tell me what I need to pay attention to.”

Sitting on the copilot seat, Chi Nan nodded, “No problem. After exiting at the front, we’ll enter the road and circumnavigate the Laoshan Highway. As long as we don’t speed up directly, we won’t fall off the cliff due to the guardrail at the edge of the road. Boss, though you’re speeding up, I’ll tell you in advance when we turn around a curve or a sloping ramp.”

“Got it!”

With one hand on the steering wheel, Tang Xiu’s other hand manually moved the gear, and deeply pressed the accelerator pedal each time he shifted gears. Under the dim lights, the Lamborghini soon reached 100 km/h. After maintaining this speed for two minutes, he began speeding up again.

“Boss, a U-turn is up ahead,” Chi Nan quickly reminded.

Tang Xiu nodded. Though the lights were dim, his eyes were very sharp. In the same pace as he familiarized himself with the controls, the car’s speed rapidly reached 160 km/h.

“I saw cars drifting on TV, how do I do that?” Tang Xiu suddenly asked.

Astonished, Chi Nan was startled for a moment, as she then asked, “Boss, you don’t even know how to drift?”

“I’ve never been in a car race before, how would I know how to drift?” laughed Tang Xiu and said, “Besides, I just got my driver’s license about two months ago. I’m only familiar with a few types of cars. Like this sports car, it’s my first time driving it!”
