Ten minutes later, a sharp bend finally appeared up ahead.
Zhang Jingdong’s mouth curled into a sly smile: "Watch closely!"
Su Man’s face immediately lit up with anticipation, her eyes fixated on the road ahead.
At that moment, Zhang Jingdong floored the accelerator, yanking the steering wheel with his left hand, sending the car barreling towards the inside of the bend.
The GTR in front saw Zhang Jingdong aiming for the inside to overtake and quickly swerved to block him.
But then, something miraculous happened!
The Lamborghini, originally hurtling towards the inside of the curve, suddenly drifted on the spot, hugging the body of the GTR and overtaking it on the outside arc!
If there was a camera overhead at that moment, it would have captured the Lamborghini overtaking the GTR, its right front nearly smashing into the outer edge of the bend due to its excessive speed.
But it managed to swerve around just in time!
And Su Man was sitting on the right, witnessing this scene from up close.
At that moment, her heart was first gripped by a fear akin to death and thrill, but as soon as the turn was successfully navigated, it morphed into immense surprise and admiration!
Because Zhang Jingdong not only pulled off this miraculous stunt but also successfully overtook the GTR!
And since Zhang Jingdong barely reduced speed while rounding the bend, he quickly ramped up to top speed afterwards, leaving the GTR in the dust!
Su Man looked into the rearview mirror, watching the GTR gradually disappear, her face breaking into a genuine smile.
Turning to look at Zhang Jingdong, she exclaimed excitedly: "You’re incredible! Your move just now was like watching Senna himself, especially that spot drift around the bend, so cool!"
Zhang Jingdong let out a sigh of relief: "You actually reference Senna instead of Schumacher?"
Su Man pursed her lips: "Yeah, I think purely in terms of driving technique, Senna could leave Schumacher in the dust. Schumacher won so many championships because he always had his team behind him."
"And I feel Senna truly loved racing, almost obsessively. I’ve seen his documentaries; the way he looked at race cars was like looking at the woman he loved most."
Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but chuckle: "Alright, just for that insight, I’ll teach you some racing techniques."
"Really!?" Su Man’s face lit up with joy.
Mainly because she truly loved racing, but no one had ever taught her before, and Zhang Jingdong’s maneuvers had completely won her over.
Zhang Jingdong smiled casually: "Of course, I, for one, never deceive women in certain things!"
After driving down the mountain, Zhang Jingdong drove for another ten minutes and then parked the car on the roadside.
The two tacitly got out and switched positions.
For the next hour, Zhang Jingdong meticulously taught Su Man techniques like drifting through bends, drafting, straight-line overtaking, and bend overtaking.
During this process, Zhang Jingdong provided hands-on guidance—literally.
Physical, hands-on guidance.
Su Man was initially a bit shy, but seeing Zhang Jingdong’s serious demeanor, she endured silently, after all, he was teaching her favorite racing techniques.
After Su Man successfully executed another challenging drift through a bend, Zhang Jingdong looked appreciative: "Hmm, not bad... let’s stop here for today, we’ll continue next time!"
Su Man nodded happily: "Alright!"
Then she hit the gas, heading straight for the city.
As they entered the urban area, the smile on Su Man’s face began to subside unconsciously.
When nearing Lu Ming Garden, Su Man suddenly turned to him: "I’ll park the car up ahead, you drive it to the parking lot. It’s not far from the complex; I’ll walk back!"
Zhang Jingdong glanced outside and said: "No need, just drive straight in. This stretch is too dark, you won’t be able to handle it alone!"
Su Man bit her lip, said nothing more, and drove straight to the parking lot.
After turning off the engine, Zhang Jingdong walked a bit then suddenly turned back, noticing Su Man was still beside the car, he became curious: "Why aren’t you leaving?"
"You go ahead, I’ll come up in five minutes!"
Zhang Jingdong looked around and then stared at her: "Are you sure? I’ve heard that this parking lot is haunted..."
Su Man also glanced around subconsciously, a flicker of fear in her eyes, as she too had heard the rumors.
Seeing her reaction, Zhang Jingdong barely suppressed a laugh: "Fine, I’m going up. Take care of yourself. If you really encounter a ghost, just call me and I’ll come down as fast as I can to save you..."
With that, he walked away.
But not long after he left, Su Man called out: "Wait... let’s go up together!"
Su Man hurriedly caught up to Zhang Jingdong, and then the two took the elevator together.
After pressing the button for their floor, Su Man turned to him: "If we run into An An once the elevator opens, just say we happened to meet at the first floor when I was getting in!"
Zhang Jingdong smirked: "Don’t worry, unless I call her to come out, she definitely won’t leave her home at this hour!"
Su Man glanced sideways at Zhang Jingdong: "Look at you being all high and mighty!"
Zhang Jingdong smiled meaningfully and did not respond.
Soon the elevator opened.
Su Man cautiously stepped out, then tiptoed to her apartment door.
But then she suddenly realized that Zhang Jingdong hadn’t gone to An Lu’s place across, but was instead following her.
She quickly lowered her voice, scolding playfully: "You... what are you doing?"
