The most dangerous was the third water segment, having made it through meant victory, but failing to do so could result in the car being swept away by the torrential stream in the valley and plummeting down a ten thousand-feet waterfall.
Meanwhile, at the finish line of the race.
Two men wearing duckbill caps were hiding behind a large rock.
“The boss ordered to kill Gu Xiaoxi, Brother Yong, are you sure this will do the job?” A man with a sneaky look touched his nose nervously.
His eyes kept shifting towards the third water segment, gleaming with a fierce light.
“Of course, I’ve already pushed a large rock into the water.
She will definitely be the first to rush out, and when her car hits the rock, she’s a goner,” said the man called Brother Yong with certainty.
Gu Xiaoxi’s car and Xia Xingze’s car stopped at the entrance of the water segment.
The water segment required top-notch skills and was the final test.
“Gu Xiaoxi, I’m going to win,” Xia Xingze suddenly raised his head and let out a wild laugh, the body of the car became flattened, like a small boat, rushing forward at top speed.
Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes at Xia Xingze, to be honest, his car was awesome.
Especially on this kind of bizarre mountain road, it was all advantages and no disadvantages for him.
Her car, however, only surpassed ordinary ones in terms of performance and speed.
What’s more, it was Quan Shaoqing’s car, and she still hadn’t been able to completely master it.
This kind of race was indeed unfavorable to her, especially the water segment, which was basically akin to seeking death.
Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and smiled, thinking she could win ?
Xia Xingze, your brain is for thinking, not for showing off.
After Xia Xingze’s car charged out, Gu Xiaoxi’s car quickly reversed, backing up to five hundred meters away.
“What’s with Gu Xiaoxi?
“Knowing she can’t win, so she decided not to race, right?”
“Just giving up like that, is this the Gu Xiaoxi who challenged CN155?
Is this still our Goddess in our hearts?”
At this moment, the spectators were utterly disappointed.
Gu Xiaoxi simply watched silently as Xia Xingze crossed the second water segment and charged toward the final water segment.
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly smiled, a smile so dazzlingly beautiful that no one had ever seen her smile with such unrestrained joy before.
Then, she floored the accelerator, and the Steel Horse 999 bolted out.
Yeh Bai held a telescope, his gaze constantly following Gu Xiaoxi, and at that moment he was standing there dumbfounded.
The young woman’s face, her smile, he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
What kind of smile was it, after all?
Indescribable, confident, wild, proud, radiant, brilliant, as if for a moment all the light in the world was dimmed in comparison.
“Young Master, did she really give up?” asked the driver, disappointment filling his eyes.
“No, she will win,” Yeh Bai said.
He was just a girl, he barely knew her, and he didn’t know where the courage in his heart came from to be so firmly convinced that she would win.
Just when everyone thought Gu Xiaoxi would give up, her car suddenly charged at the water segment at maximum speed.
It was like a sharp sword, the whole car skimming the water’s surface with the momentum of inertia, astonishingly making it across the stream in the valley, and then speeding towards the second water segment with the same velocity.
Her speed was astonishing, so fast it left onlookers speechless, unable to believe their own eyes.
That car speeding off just like her own person, an unforgettable sight of wild shock.
Just as Gu Xiaoxi charged toward the third water segment, Xia Xingze’s car hit the large rock in the middle of the stream due to overconfidence, because he was too fast, his entire car was smashed to pieces, and he was ejected from the vehicle, falling into the stream.
Gu Xiaoxi’s quick reflexes spotted Xia Xingze’s anomaly, and in the moment her car skimmed across the water’s surface, she pushed open her own door, bent down and in one quick motion pulled the man out from the water, flooring the gas pedal to head straight for the finish line not far ahead.
The hair-raising scene left people open-mouthed in disbelief!
It felt so surreal, like a dream.
That young woman, how did she do it?
Xia Xingze, clutching his head, was terrified, although he had been rescued, he couldn’t calm his heart.
Not in skill, not in equipment, but in composure.
Impatient for success and craving victory, he failed to conquer his own heart, blinded by fame and profit.
He finally understood a principle, a true strong person doesn’t show off strength, nor are they driven by fame…
“Gu Xiaoxi, this is ten million.” Xia Xingze, though injured all over, still endured the pain and signed a check for Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi accepted it with indifference, the admiring voices around her not causing a ripple in her eyes, as if all of this had nothing to do with her, what she always wanted was the check.
“Gu Xiaoxi, let’s be friends!” Xia Xingze offered his hand to Gu Xiaoxi.
He would only do this out of respect for an opponent.
Gu Xiaoxi crossed her arms and thought for a moment, then waved it off blandly, “We’ll talk after you recover from your injuries!” With those words, she turned and strode away.
It was a gentle rejection.
