417: Chapter 417: The Race Car Bet 417: Chapter 417: The Race Car Bet “Ailina, who is this car king?” Ye Shikai, hearing the youths discussing nearby, couldn’t help but become curious.
“Oh, she is a woman with superb driving skills, but she always wears a mask every time she appears, and only participates in races, never accepting interviews, so I also don’t know her identity.” Ailina explained while swiping on her phone.
In this big world, there are always some abnormal people with peculiar hobbies.
Perhaps this car king is indifferent to fame and fortune.
And anyway, is Ailina a normal woman?
Which woman smokes a cigarette, enjoys street racing, and boldly claims to be a lady…
At that moment, a Maybach sports car sped from the distance.
Everyone stood up, exclaiming as they watched the flickering headlights; the car king had arrived, and everyone went crazy.
Watching as the crowd and the race car drew nearer, the Maybach did not slow down at all, it even sped up, and the people at the very front showed no fear at all, as if it was normal for them.
In the last hundred meters, the car suddenly braked hard and drifted slightly, stopping in front of the crowd, only ten meters away from the foremost person.
“Good driving skills.” Ye Shikai, watching from a distance, couldn’t help exclaiming.
The control of speed and distance was very appropriate indeed.
The car door opened, and a woman stepped out.
Just as everyone said, she was wearing a mask.
However, what Ye Shikai did not expect was the woman’s attire; a mini skirt, short sleeves, and high heels, which starkly contrasted with the aggressive appearance of the Maybach.
“It feels so familiar.” Ye Shikai muttered to himself.
Hindered by the night and the mask on the woman’s face, he couldn’t see her features clearly, but he found her figure very familiar.
“Car king, car king, car king,” the people below kept cheering, it seemed they all greatly admired this “car king”.
At that moment, a young man holding a bunch of roses, surrounded by several bodyguards, went straight to the woman.
“Beautiful, I’ve liked you for a long time, be my girlfriend.” The young man said passionately, handing over the roses, and the people below gasped in a low voice.
“Oh my, isn’t that Wang Hai, the second son of the Wang Family?”
“Yes, yes, the Wang Family has considerable influence in Yanjing.”
“I wonder if the car king will accept him, I bet the car king must be a stunning beauty.”
From the discussions down below, Ye Shikai also gathered some information; the young man was called Wang Hai, the second son of the Yanjing Wang Family, and this Wang Family, as Shi Chengyu had mentioned before, was one of the four major families in Yanjing with substantial power and many gray industries.
Wang is also here, what an honor,” Manager Chen, upon seeing the visitor, kept flattering.
Being just a manager, he of course hoped to curry favor with important people.
“Beautiful, please agree,” Wang Hai ignored Manager Chen, now he was focusing on wooing the girl, wishing he could kick the manager aside, holding the roses out, but the woman in front of him didn’t react promptly.
“Hehe, handsome, you don’t even know my name or how I look, and yet you’re confessing to me , don’t you think it’s too hasty?” The woman suddenly laughed, not reaching for the roses, making Wang Hai quite embarrassed.
“It’s not hasty, getting to know each other is how you become acquainted, right?
My family is very rich, enough to take care of you,” Wang Hai thought he had a chance, proudly boasting in the style of a spoiled rich kid.
“Hmph, what parents give is called a background, what one earns themselves is called an empire.
Do you really have no pride?” The woman coldly mocked, unafraid even knowing Wang Hai’s identity, which made Ye Shikai even more curious about who she was and who was backing her.
What do I need to do for you to agree?” Wang Hai, usually too quick to have his bodyguards beat someone up, found himself at a loss with his crush in front of him.
He had to find another way to win her over.
“Hmph, though you are a spoiled rich kid, I don’t despise wealth.
I just prefer to let abilities do the talking.” The woman coldly said, her black half-mask making her look even more mysterious.
“What do you mean by that?”
“In this race, if you win, I’ll agree to be your girlfriend; if you lose, please leave.
How about that?” The woman spoke coldly, lightly licking her lips with her tongue, the corners of her mouth arching up showing her confidence.
“Uh…” After hearing this, Wang Hai hesitated, his expression wavering, and he stopped mid-sentence, understandably anxious, given that the woman opposite was known as a car racing king, and he was merely a decent racer at best.
“Alright, it’s a deal.” Wang Hai ultimately agreed.
During the preparation period, Ye Shikai went to the restroom, and just as he came out, he saw Wang Hai talking with his bodyguards.
“Second Young Master, please give your orders.” Ye Shikai leaned against the wall, eavesdropping on their conversation.
“When we get to the finish line, you guys just…”
“Ding-ling-ling.” Ye Shikai felt a thousand crabs scuttling over his heart – why a phone call at this moment?
This could be deadly.
Wang Hai and the bodyguards turned around in response, but luckily, he was quick enough to answer the call, pretending to be occupied.
It’s almost time for the race, you’re not chickening out, are you?” A provocative voice came from Ailina on the other end.
“You’ve ruined everything.” Ye Shikai hung up immediately after speaking, walked out of the restroom, lit a cigarette with a frustrated expression, and stepped onto the street.
“Everyone must be familiar with the Tianshan King of Cars race rules.
Please cooperate with them.” Manager Chen spoke to all the racers before the race.
“Ailina, are there any other rules?” This was Ye Shikai’s first time, and he asked out of curiosity.
“Uh, just that you race against the King of Cars with your cars’ ownership titles at stake.
If the King of Cars wins, she takes everyone’s car.
If she loses, the winner gets her car.” Hearing Ailina explain, Ye Shikai understood; it was essentially a car wager.
“So, the King of Cars can’t really lose, right.” Ye Shikai commented, but for these rich kids, a car is just pocket change.
What they crave is the thrill and passion, and defeating the King of Cars would bring them undeniable glory, enough to boast about in Yanjing’s circle of rich kids for half a year.
“I’ve placed the ownership documents in the co-driver’s seat, just hand it to them later.” Ailina continued, but Ye Shikai’s expression tensed, as though he realized something, his cold gaze sweeping over her.
“How many cars have you lost?” Ye Shikai asked coldly, noticing that Ailina was a regular here and the King of Cars had an unbeaten streak, deducing that she must have lost quite a few cars.
ten or so.” Ailina spoke hesitantly.
Ye Shikai’s heart skipped a beat, this woman really knows how to squander.
