"Hey, thanks for today."
"Yeah, ah, you've already said that to me."
"How do you know Ye Xiaofan? Judging by your relationship, it seems pretty good."
"I got to know them through my sister—him, Li Kuo, Li San, and many other good brothers. It's great to know him."
"What's so great about knowing him?"
"Don't you know? You're his sister, right? You should know his character better than us."
"I..." Character? Ye Xiaofan's character? Ye Weiwei indeed didn't know, and she never thought about finding out.
"If not for the chance to meet him, how could I possibly have today? I might just be a retired soldier, fishing every day and selling at the market, ending the day as an ordinary citizen drenched in smell."
"And now?"
"Now? Everything now is beyond what I dared to imagine back then, but the most important thing is not the result; it's the process of getting to know each other with them. To put it bluntly, I've never admired or revered anyone, until Ye Xiaofan."
"Is he that amazing?"
"Oh, he really is. You don't know, he's incredible. Back then, I saw him flick a toothpick like that—wow, that skill. But I just couldn't learn it, I'm too dumb."
"Toothpick?"
"Haha, why am I telling you this? By my watch, it should be time. Brace yourself, I have a little issue when driving, hope you don't mind."
"Hmm? Hmm."
This was one of the few conversations as they waited for Xiaofan. Ye Weiwei began to grow curious about Han Shengjun's identity and his whole person, but this was just the beginning.
When the car suddenly sped off, Ye Weiwei realized for a moment that this guy must have more untold stories. Like where did he come back from? Like the toothpick? And why is his friendship with Xiaofan so deep, and they even mentioned some tasks in their conversation? Could it be he's always following Xiaofan's orders?
No need to overthink it; the current speed has reached two hundred twenty. What Ye Weiwei needed to think about was whether this guy's driving was just a little problem; it was downright crazy.
Uphill was fine, but going downhill at such speeds, with all those hairpin turns, and reaching two hundred twenty on these complex mountain roads—if that's not crazy, what is?
But after passing several turns continuously, Ye Weiwei discovered that everything was in control of the man beside her. However, the speed started to decrease.
"Hmm? What's up?"
"Nothing, I... I was afraid of scaring you. Slowing down a bit."
"Slow down? You've got a million to win here; at the finish line, the money's yours, hurry up."
Ye Weiwei's face didn't look good; she couldn't accept such a violent way of driving, but she could accept winning huge gains from it.
However, from such a small detail, she could see that he was always paying attention to her, worried she might feel uncomfortable somewhere.
"Do you usually drive like this?"
"Only sometimes."
"And where do you usually drive?"
"Me? I just took leave from the army; sometimes the mountain roads during missions there are a hundred times tougher than this, and driving big trucks. Now, these roads seem like child's play. But if I were to really compare with Xiaofan, I'd probably still be no match."
"Hmm? Why? He didn't drive that fast just now."
"Haha, his driving skills, they were honed with his life."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, you should ask him that yourself, hold on... Whatever you want to say, wait until I finish the race."
This guy was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. He didn't dare to look her in the eye directly, and the moment their eyes met, he would blush. Though she sensed Xiaofan's deliberate efforts to make her interact with Han Shengjun, Ye Weiwei, who always had high standards, truly started getting more interested in Han Shengjun at this moment.
It's not because he could talk, nor because of his mysterious identity, but because he seemed a little dumb but very genuine.
The performance of the cars was about the same, so in the end, it depended on the driver's skills.
So when Han was the first to reach the finish line, many were surprised.
Of course, people like Li San remained calm, as this was the result they expected anyway.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Ye Shaolong quickly came over to check on Ye Weiwei.
"I'm fine."
Throughout the bumpy ride, there was some pallor on Ye Weiwei's face, yet she seemed to have overcome that fear in the second half of the journey.
But Zhang Yuxuan was flabbergasted. Was the million just lost like that? From the aerial footage earlier, Ye Xiaofan wasn't driving particularly fast, but he managed to perfectly block any overtaking efforts behind him, effectively sealing all the routes.
But most importantly, it was probably that guy Han Shengjun; his driving skills were truly exceptional.
Soon, Xiaofan and Chen Mei'Er also arrived at the finish line.
Bets owed must be settled. Despite feeling the loss, Zhang Yuxuan still transferred the million to Xiaofan's account through the proper channels. However, having suffered such a hidden loss, could he let it go just like that?
"Oh my, sorry about that. How easy it was to win this money. Hahaha." With the million at hand, Xiaofan didn't hide his joy before Zhang Yuxuan.
Since they're already opponents, Xiaofan saw no need to keep pretending.
A million, just like that, gone. A million! This wasn't tens or hundreds of thousands; it was a full million. At first, Zhang Yuxuan thought they would be frightened by the amount, but surprisingly, they accepted it. When Zhang Yuxuan thought these two were suckers, in the end, he turned out to be the sucker.
"What? Leaving already? Won't you stay a while and give me a chance to turn this around?" Watching Xiaofan and company about to leave, Zhang Yuxuan immediately spoke up.
"I'm the kind of person who stops while ahead. I've made a million tonight; naturally, I should celebrate with everyone, right? Besides, even if we race again, you still wouldn't win." The first line was humble and polite, but the last line outright flaunted his arrogance.
"You... you're really arrogant, aren't you? Dare to race me personally? This time, let's bet two million..."
'Wow.'
Two million? Hearing this number from Zhang Yuxuan made the people on the side immediately gasp in amazement. It seemed Zhang Yuxuan was getting serious tonight.
