Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: A Close Call (Third Update)

Bang...

"Ah..."

On the tranquil night at the ring flyover, a yellow Porsche Cayenne sped at 300 miles per hour, heading straight toward a BMW 3X by the guardrail.

At this rate, if the BMW 3X gets hit, it's bound to be thrown off the flyover by the powerful impact of the Porsche Cayenne.

The inevitable outcome is a catastrophic crash with fatalities...

Screams from a girl echoed inside the BMW 3X, and similar screams came from inside the Porsche Cayenne, both from girls and boys.

At this moment, Luo Bing in the Porsche Cayenne, frightened by Wang Jie's reckless behavior, was horrified, and even his two lackeys turned pale with fear, their screams piercing...

"Wang Jie, are you crazy..."

Luo Bing angrily shouted, clutching Wang Jie's shoulder as the BMW 3X was about to be hit by the Porsche Cayenne.

"Hmph..." Wang Jie snorted coldly, then shook off Luo Bing's arm, his foot pressed down on the gas pedal without releasing, eyes blazing with fury toward the BMW 3X.

"Ye Qiu, you fool, go to hell..."

Wang Jie felt a rush of excitement, his expression extremely fierce.

...

"Ah, Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu run, Wang Jie is coming..."

At this critical moment, Xu Lei in the BMW 3X watched the approaching Porsche Cayenne in horror and shouted at Ye Qiu anxiously.

Everything unfolded in an instant, Ye Qiu had watched the Porsche Cayenne slowly approach him earlier, not expecting such depravity from them.

Seeing Wang Jie's audacity, Ye Qiu panicked for a moment, knowing it was too late to escape, he could only shout at Fle in his mind: "Fle, what do I do?"

In the blink of an eye, Fle said: "Maybe stomping on the gas can dodge it."

"But Luo Bing is still in that car..." Ye Qiu hurriedly replied.

Fle said: "You'll have to gamble on your Luck Value..."

Luck Value?

Ye Qiu was stunned, then remembered he had a Luck Value of 60 in his Attributes, just wanted to ask Fle when the Porsche Cayenne rushed towards him.

"It's over..."

Two words flashed in Ye Qiu's mind.

"Ah..."

Xu Lei screamed in terror and hugged Ye Qiu tightly, her chest pressed firmly against Ye Qiu's, but neither of them had the mind for that now.

"Are we going to die?" Ye Qiu closed his eyes, his heart filled with reluctance.

"I still have so much unfinished business; Xirou I haven't brought back, Aik I haven't defeated, so much, so much is waiting for me, I don't want to die yet..."

Ye Qiu's heart was filled with sorrow, but just then, there was a bang in his ear.

The massive impact made Ye Qiu and Xu Lei shudder.

"Are we falling?" Xu Lei asked.

Ye Qiu nodded, but then felt the lack of falling force, somewhat puzzled: "Seems like we're not!"

"Not?" Xu Lei exclaimed fearfully.

Ye Qiu frowned and slowly opened his eyes, then upon seeing his vehicle still in place, froze, looked around, and realized he hadn't fallen, his eyes glistened with tears of joy.

And soon after, when he saw a red Ferrari-F12berlinetta having pushed the Porsche Cayenne aside, his heart filled with doubt.

"Ye Qiu, what's happening, are we dead?"

At this moment, Xu Lei's voice reached his ears; Ye Qiu smiled, looked down at the tightly hugging Xu Lei, upon seeing her ample chest pressed against his.

Feeling the soft sensation on his chest, Ye Qiu swallowed hard, quickly diverted his gaze from Xu Lei's chest, then patted her back, saying: "Ms. Xu, we're safe now..."

"Safe now?" Xu Lei hardly believed it, but then she slowly opened her eyes, upon seeing it was indeed safe, she cried with joy, then hugged Ye Qiu and sobbed loudly.

Embraced by Xu Lei, Ye Qiu drank in the lingering fragrance on Xu Lei, feeling the softness pressed against his chest, his face gradually blushing.

Listening to Xu Lei's sad cries, Ye Qiu also felt inexplicably melancholic, but when he saw a man in black leather, with dyed red hair, stepped out of the Ferrari-F12berlinetta, his heart filled with questions.

"Who is he? Why did he save me?"

Ye Qiu watched as the red-haired man walked to the Porsche door, opened it, and stood there saying something; after he finished, Wang Jie inside the Porsche emerged with his head down.

Once out, he hung his head without a word.

"Do they know each other? Is Wang Jie afraid of this man?"

Witnessing this, Ye Qiu patted Xu Lei's shoulder: "Ms. Xu, stop crying, I need to handle Wang Jie's matter."

With that, Xu Lei ceased her tears, and both she and Ye Qiu got out of the car.

Ye Qiu and Xu Lei walked towards the red-haired man together. As they got closer, he could hear the red-haired man reprimanding Wang Jie: "Are you crazy? Who told you to kidnap Luo Bing?"

Wang Jie, with his head lowered, mumbled, "I'm sorry, big brother. I was wrong, but I was thinking of you. You're about to race against Situ Yang, and I'm afraid...afraid..."

"Bullshit, you're afraid I can't beat Situ Yang, aren't you." The red-haired man seemed very angry and kicked the bonnet of the Porsche: "You're humiliating me. As a professional racing driver, even if I lose, I'd rather lose with dignity. How can winning by means of kidnapping or threats be honorable?"

Wang Jie kept his head down and said nothing.

At this moment, Ye Qiu also understood that the red-haired man seemed to be Wang Jie's elder brother and also the captain of their racing team.

Click.

The car door at the back of the Porsche opened, and Luo Bing stepped out of the car.

Her hair was a bit messy, and her face was still a bit pale, but her spirit was apparently unaffected.

As soon as she got out, the red-haired man walked up to Luo Bing and apologized, "Luo Bing, I'm really sorry. I didn't know Wang Jie would do such a thing to you, I hope you..."

"I'm going to tell my father about this truthfully..."

Before the red-haired man could finish his words, Luo Bing's icy tone made his face change. But seeing that Luo Bing didn't seem interested in talking further with him, he knew saying more was useless, so he could only give Luo Bing's back a deep look, his gaze flickering as if pondering something.

"Ms. Xu, it really is you..."

As soon as Luo Bing got out of the Porsche, she saw Xu Lei, and when she saw Ye Qiu next to Xu Lei, she was stunned: "Ye Qiu? Why are you here too?"

"Huh?" Ye Qiu was taken aback, looking at Xu Lei, then at Luo Bing, scratching his head: "I came with Ms. Xu."

"Oh, you came with Ms. Xu?"

Luo Bing looked at Ye Qiu in front of her, who appeared stout but seemed thin, likewise with tousled hair. However, how could Ye Qiu be that skilled driver?

Luo Bing gave Ye Qiu a puzzled glance, then looked around, and asked Ye Qiu and Xu Lei, "Are you two the only ones here?"

"Yes?" Ye Qiu scratched his head, and Xu Lei nodded: "Yes..."

"Strange, then..."

"Wait a minute..."

Luo Bing felt extremely puzzled. As the red-haired man and Wang Jie and others got into their cars to leave, Ye Qiu hurriedly interrupted Luo Bing and then chased after the red-haired man's Ferrari F12berlinetta.

Wang Xuan, with a head of red hair, was stunned, looked at Ye Qiu running towards him, rolled down the window, and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Ye Qiu glanced at Wang Xuan and said, "Thank you..."

Wang Xuan shook his head, said nothing, and then, seeing Ye Qiu still standing in front of him, frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Ye Qiu glanced at Wang Jie's Porsche and said, "He lost a race to me, and we had an agreement, so that Porsche is mine now."

As Ye Qiu finished, Wang Jie, who was sitting in the Porsche, instantly had a face as red as a pig's liver, and Wang Xuan's expression wasn't good either.

"What? You don't want to keep your promise?"

Seeing Wang Xuan and Wang Jie both silent, Ye Qiu frowned and asked.

"That's between you and him, don't ask me."

Wang Xuan glanced at Wang Jie in the Porsche and then gave Ye Qiu a deep look.

Ye Qiu nodded and then walked towards the Porsche, approached the window, knocked on it, and said, "Wang Jie, you lost the race, so hand over the car."

Inside the Porsche, Wang Jie's face was at its worst.

His arms gripping the steering wheel were trembling. His car, including modifications, had cost nearly 7 million, which was all the money he had won from races over the years, plus loans from his brother.

But now, he had to hand it over to Ye Qiu.

Earlier, when he bet with Ye Qiu, using his car as a stake, he hadn't hesitated for a moment because he believed that with his ability, Ye Qiu would surely lose.

By then, he could humiliate Ye Qiu while obtaining a BMW 3X.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Ye Qiu won with such godlike driving skills...

"This guy is really hateful..."

Listening to Ye Qiu knocking on the window outside, Wang Jie was filled with anger, and he wished he could hit Ye Qiu with the car.

But now, with so many people around, he couldn't do that. Looking at his brother's Ferrari F12berlinetta, Wang Jie gritted his teeth tightly, finally sighed, got out of the car, and threw the keys to Ye Qiu.

After throwing out a spiteful remark, "Drive slowly, be careful not to crash," he got into his brother's Ferrari F12berlinetta.

Ye Qiu, holding the Porsche keys, didn't look excited but instead gazed at the Ferrari F12berlinetta.

As Ye Qiu stared at the Ferrari F12berlinetta, its window rolled down, and Wang Xuan's serious voice came from inside: "Take good care of that car. My brother Wang Jie will get it back sooner or later."

After speaking, the Ferrari F12berlinetta roared away.

"Get it back?" Ye Qiu looked at the receding Ferrari F12berlinetta, glanced at the 7 million worth Porsche, and showed a confident smile on his delicate face: "Once the car is in my hands, how could you possibly take it back?"

After speaking, Ye Qiu suddenly felt a sharp gaze fixed on him, making his scalp tingle slightly.

Slowly turning his head, when he saw that it was Luo Bing scrutinizing him, he looked himself up and down, scratched his head, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something off with me?"
