Huan Li slightly knitted his brows as he saw Li Zhen keeping him guessing. In actuality, he didn’t like him, but Li Zhen found him and promised to give him a rather significant amount of money. Hence, he agreed to come to Changxi City to help him win the game. He may not like the man, but he liked money.
Thus, he asked, “Because of what?”
“Don’t tell me you haven’t sobered up yet?” laughed Li Zhen as he said, “If he knows the track, why would he want Chi Nan to accompany him? Tell me, if he drives for a few kilometers and then Chi Nan replaces him, and then quickly change places again before coming back, can he get here in time?”
Astonished, Huan Yi stared blankly for a moment and then said, “You mean they’re cheating? But if they do, what’s the point with familiarizing himself with the race track?”
“You don’t know some people are just like that, do you?” laughed Li Zhen and said, “Many people simply don’t care that much, as far as their faces are concerned. If he can return within the allotted time, it’s like he can prove to everyone else that he got great driving skills. Hence, he naturally can garner people’s admiration. But if he were to fail, he can easily find an excuse, such as not feeling well, a little problem with his car, anything… Cutting it short, telling he wants to familiarize himself with the track is just a means to prove his strength, while winning or losing may be unimportant to him.”
“He’s way too retarded if he really does that,” Huan Yi couldn’t help retorting.
“But this kind of idiocy is exactly why I like that punk!” Li Zhen grinned, “Not only will he give us a lot of money, but he’ll also give us a chance to step on him and get more attention. Where else can we chance upon this kind of good thing, of having double benefits at one strike?”
“True that!” Huan Yu nodded slightly.
Time passed and there was only half a minute left to 11:00 PM. Yet, there were headlights appearing at the distance in Laoshan Highway.
“He didn’t come back in time!”
The same thought filled everyone’s mind at present.
However, at this moment, at the end-point of the U-curve in the distance, two headlights beamed out and approached lightning fast.
“No shit! He’s back in time?”
“Well, well, he came back. And his speed is so fast!”
“This Tang pretty boy is quite good, isn’t he? The number of those who often car race here and can return within 15 minutes are perhaps no more than twenty.”
“He didn’t cheat, right?”
“…”
Some people marveled in wonderment while some others questioned it.
Missing eight seconds to 11:00 PM, the black Lamborghini burst into the square as though a lightning bolt and then stopped with a beautiful drift and rapid braking.
Tang Xiu then opened the door as he looked at Ji Mu, Li Zhen and the others who were coming over. He then laughed and asked loudly, “I’m not late, am I?”
“Humph,” Li Zheng coldly snorted and said, “You aren’t. But you still have delayed the game time. It’s exactly 11:00 PM now. If we want to guarantee the game time to be finished in an hour, I suggest we start in 10 minutes.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “It’s fine whatever time it is.”
Raising his thumb, Ji Mu exclaimed in praise, “You’re really great, Brother Tang! You can complete a lap within 15 minutes in your first time on Laoshan Highway. Even for me, my first time here wasn’t as good as yours!
“That’s overpraising,” laughed Tang Xiu.
“Alright, let’s take a break and get ready.” Said Ji Mu.
There were a total of seven people participating in tonight’s racing. Apart from Tang Xiu and Chi Nan, there were Li Zhen and Huan Yu, whereas the other three people were unknown to Tang Xiu. Originally, Ji Mu was also one of the contenders, but since he lent his car to Chi Nan, therefore, he was acting as a referee.
Seven luxurious supercars lined up, each worth more than several million. It looked rather spectacular when the cars stopped in a horizontal line.
“GET READY!”
While holding a colored flag, Ji Mu blew a whistle and waved the colored flag in his hand.
In a flash, the seven supercar roared and darted as though arrows released from its bows toward the exit in front of the square.
Driving the black Lamborghini, Tang Xiu’s initial speed was not fast, coming seventh out of the square exit. However, since he had memorized the roads of Laoshan Highway, coupled with the high-end configuration of Chi Nan’s sports car, he directly powered up and sped up the moment he entered Laoshan Highway.
“I must get at least in the first three before the first U-curve.”
