497: Chapter 497: The Apology is Fake, 497: Chapter 497: The Apology is Fake, One of the blond-haired men rushed up to Lin Fei and demanded, “What the hell are you trying to do?
Didn’t you see people here?”
“I was about to ask that.
What are you all doing around my wife’s car?”
Lin Fei stepped forward, staring down the blond man who, intimidated by Lin Fei’s powerful presence, found himself speechless for a moment.
At that moment, Mu Shanshan also got out of the car and came up to Lin Fei, curiously asking him where he got the car.
Lin Fei explained it was from Mu Tiancheng, then asked Mu Shanshan what these people were doing surrounding her.
Before Mu Shanshan could answer, a man named Fang Shaoyu stepped up to Lin Fei.
“Brother, I think this is a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding?”
“We just wanted to talk to her, not knowing she was already taken.”
After saying that, the man extended his hand, smiling, “I’m Fang Shaoyu, and may I ask how I should address you?”
It’s hard to hit a smiling face, and seeing that Fang Shaoyu was so friendly, Lin Fei politely shook his hand but squeezed it firmly in secret.
However, what Lin Fei didn’t expect was that Fang Shaoyu kept smiling throughout, showing no sign of discomfort.
Lin Fei knew, with the strength he had just used, even a typical strong man might not have been able to keep such composure, let alone this pretty boy.
But Fang Shaoyu’s smile didn’t seem feigned to Lin Fei.
This guy is not simple; Lin Fei reaffirmed his thought.
After their hands parted, Fang Shaoyu made a proposal.
“I’ve seen Brother Lin Fei’s driving skills, and I must say I’m impressed.
Would you be interested in making a bet with me?”
This suggestion was exactly what Lin Fei wanted; he had been somewhat dissatisfied with these people hitting on Mu Shanshan, but couldn’t act rashly given Fang Shaoyu’s friendly attitude.
Now that Fang Shaoyu had brought up a race, Lin Fei saw it as a perfect opportunity to dampen his spirit, so he agreed.
“Alright, how do you want to bet?
What are the stakes?”
“Let’s bet on who can drive around Crescent Lake first.
As for the wager, how about the loser leaves his car behind?
Mu Shanshan came over and quietly asked Lin Fei, “You know how to race?”
“Is there anything your husband can’t do?
Watch me win a sports car for my wife.”
“I don’t need a car; just be careful.”
“It’s getting late, Brother Lin Fei, let’s start.”
Fang Shaoyu got into his car, waved to Lin Fei, then drove towards the starting line.
People got into their cars and followed Fang Shaoyu.
The starting point was at the middle of the indentation of Crescent Lake.
When Lin Fei arrived, he saw that there was, in fact, a dedicated racetrack.
No wonder Mu Shanshan had seemed so nonchalant when they proposed racing; there must be frequent races here.
Both cars stopped at the starting line, the flagger took position.
Both sports cars’ engines began to hum.
The flagger’s flag swished down, and Lin Fei’s and Fang Shaoyu’s cars burst forward, kicking up a whirlwind and stirring up the dust.
Mu Shanshan leaned against her car, watching the two cars chase each other with great interest.
Lin Fei knew that the key to winning on this track lay in the two corners by Crescent, so he took the inside lane first, giving leeway to Fang Shaoyu, but confident that in the two upcoming sharp corners, he could catch up.
Soon, they reached the first corner.
Lin Fei furiously spun the steering wheel, alternating between the gas and the brake, executing a perfect drift around the bend.
Seeing in the rearview mirror that Fang Shaoyu was determinedly pursuing him, Lin Fei couldn’t let his guard down.
However, due to the car’s performance, on the protruding part of the track, Fang Shaoyu slowly overtook Lin Fei and blocked him from the front.
“Interesting, think you can block me like that?”
Lin Fei’s lips curved slightly.
In a blink, they reached the second corner, and after this turn, the finish line was in sight.
Lin Fei turned the steering wheel to the right, and seeing him leave the inside lane, Fang Shaoyu didn’t block further.
Entering the bend, Lin Fei suddenly sped up, overtaking Fang Shaoyu on the outer lane, then sharply turned the wheel, executing a difficult drift, and just after rounding the bend, he wedged in front of Fang Shaoyu from the side, blocking tightly.
Fang Shaoyu turned the wheel, intending to use his car’s performance to overtake from the side.
But just as his car moved, Lin Fei immediately blocked him again, leaving him without a strategy.
In an anticlimactic fashion, the two cars crossed the finish line, one after the other.
