Zhang Jiaxing deliberately slowed down, puzzled as he drove, "What’s going on? Why is there no movement ahead? Could there be some kind of accident?"
He was wondering when suddenly he saw the bright lights of a car coming toward him.
"Who is this?" Zhang Jiaxing looked carefully, and soon he heard the roar of the car’s engine. Why did that sound so familiar...
"Wang Hao! It’s actually you!" Zhang Jiaxing was so startled he almost jumped out of his seat! Wang Hao had actually returned safe and sound?! Then doesn’t that mean he had already lost this round?
"Hey, I’m not waiting for you anymore," Wang Hao said with a cheeky smile, slowing down as they passed each other, he waved the small flag in his hand, "I’ve already been to the finish line, I’m going back to wait for you! Bye!"
Saying this, he rolled up his window and left with a big laugh.
"I... I... I can’t possibly lose!" Zhang Jiaxing almost went mad with shock, slamming the gas pedal to the floor. He desperately sped towards the finish line, no longer caring for anything else!
"Ah, why bother?" Wang Hao glanced at the spike strip sitting in the passenger seat and shook his head, "This is a case of being too clever for your own good. If he had just driven properly, he might have had a chance to win. But by resorting to such a device, he’s scared himself out of racing. Sigh, such a pity..."
Back to the starting point to wait for them, wahahaha!
On the way back, there was no need for Wang Hao to rush. With a considerable lead, cruising at around 150 km/h would suffice, yeah.
In the blink of an eye, he had crossed the ten-plus kilometers distance and soon saw the large group of people waiting at the starting point.
"Yahoo! I won! Hahaha! I won!"
As Wang Hao returned, the owners of the Wuling Hongguang cars were the first to rush up to him!
This was truly a moment for the Wuling Hongguang to puff out its chest in pride. Although the car must have been modified, who would care now? The victor is always in the right!
"Brother-in-law, you’re too awesome!" Lan Qinglong, who had previously disapproved of Wang Hao, was now calling him brother-in-law, "You’ve finally avenged me. Hahaha! Great brother-in-law, we’re family now. Don’t worry, I swear I won’t object to whatever happens between you and my sister!"
Wang Hao kicked him away, "I said I’m not your brother-in-law! Your sister and I have a purely platonic relationship aaaaaah!"
"What are you joking about," Lan Qinglong didn’t mind one bit, slinging an arm around Wang Hao’s shoulder, "Since when is there pure friendship between men and women? Stop explaining. Look, my sister is good-looking with a great temperament, a fine figure, and fair skin. Three years of yearly gains, a death sentence worth taking, brother-in-law!"
Is that how you talk about your sister?!
"Enough talk," Wang Hao shrugged nonchalantly and winked at him, "I even brought back a little gift for you. Want to check it out?"
"Of course!" Lan Qinglong’s eyes practically gleamed, "Where is it? Show me!"
Rushing to the car, he quickly pulled out the black spike strip, and burst into uproarious laughter, "Hahaha! Zhang Jiaxing, never thought you’d see the day! Haha! This thing is quite well-made, and it’s black too! Haha!" Then he hugged Wang Hao’s shoulder again, "Brother-in-law is incredible! Utterly solid, now that bumpkin won’t be able to turn things around, haha!"
Indeed, the spike strip now captured everyone’s attention. As soon as the crowd saw it, they started to murmur—
"Using such a thing in a race to harm others, that Zhang Jiaxing is inhuman!"
"Exactly, a sore loser resorting to dirty tricks!"
"That thing could kill someone if handled improperly. There really are all sorts of people!"
Watching Lan Qinglong wielding the spike strip, those rich second-generation kids who had hung around with Zhang Jiaxing had their expressions turn sour.
To be blunt, they hung out with Zhang Jiaxing for thrills, but if he dared to use such a thing, who wouldn’t be afraid? What if it were them driving over it and their tires blew? It could be deadly!
"Pah! Who would’ve thought he was such a person!"
"Right, we should stay away from him in the future, totally unscrupulous!"
"If you can’t stand losing, then don’t drive. Why use something so dangerous?"
As people bustled with their discussions, car lights appeared in the distance—it was Zhang Jiaxing driving back with the others!
"Zhang Jiaxing is back! Brothers, let’s go!" No one knew who shouted, but a large group of people surged forward, ready to confront Zhang Jiaxing as he returned!
The three-kilometer distance was neither too short nor too long, and before long Zhang Jiaxing drove his Aston Martin back, but before he could even get his bearings, he saw a huge crowd charging towards him!
"Hey, you guys, what are you doing..." Zhang Jiaxing was practically dragged out of his car!
As soon as he touched the ground, he heard a loud crash—the windshield of his Aston Martin was smashed by a large brick!
"What... what are you doing?!" Watching his beloved car being vandalized, Zhang Jiaxing was completely stunned.
What the hell was going on?!
"Heh heh, Zhang Jiaxing, bet you never thought you’d see this day, huh?" Lan Qinglong walked up to Zhang Jiaxing with the spike strip, and with a snicker, said, "Take a look at this, will you?"
"This... how did this end up with you!" Zhang Jiaxing’s pupils shrank sharply, and then blurted out, "How is this possible?!"
As soon as he uttered those words, his face went pale, and he quickly covered his mouth.
Heh, gotcha, didn’t you just slip up?
