Shi Tong was startled. Meanwhile, Zhu Youcai, who had failed to seize the chance to shine, snorted with disdain.

He then jeered, "Chu Ge, it seems that everything I told you yesterday was completely forgotten after a night's sleep. At a time like this, can't you curb your bragging habits? Do you really think now is the time to joke with Stone?"

Yesterday, after the incident of competing for a private room, Zhu Youcai could clearly feel the change in everyone's attitude towards him. He could never swallow this resentment and had no place to vent it. Now, seeing Chu Ge step up again, he naturally wouldn't miss the chance to step on Chu Ge again and vent his pent-up frustrations.

Of course, the reason he said this was that he simply couldn't imagine Chu Ge could get a luxury car like a Maserati.

At that moment, some anger indeed sparked within Chu Ge.

Yesterday at the Papas, Zhu Youcai repeatedly provoked him in front of everyone, and he could ignore that fool. But right now, even for the groom Shi Tong, it was an urgent situation. Zhu Youcai's inappropriate sarcasm was truly disgusting.

Unconsciously, Chu Ge shot Zhu Youcai a cold glance, slightly narrowing his eyes.

Feeling the chill in Chu Ge's eyes, Zhu Youcai involuntarily shivered, sensing a very dangerous feeling from within. He had intended to continue mocking Chu Ge but finally didn't say anything more, awkwardly shifting his gaze away.

"Stone, quickly tell me. Rest assured, I wouldn't joke with you about something like this. I'll be back soon."

Since Chu Ge said so, Shi Tong, though still somewhat skeptical, nodded and revealed the location where the Mercedes broke down.

Without saying anything more, Chu Ge borrowed a motorcycle someone else rode in on, instantly accelerating to top speed. In almost a blink, his figure had disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

Watching Chu Ge's figure vanish from view, Shi Tong was filled with a sense of appreciation. Riding a motorcycle like that was just reckless! He truly didn't expect, given his rather average relationship with Chu Ge, that Chu Ge would go to such lengths for him.

As time ticked by, Shi Tong felt like an ant on a hot pan, incessantly circling in place. Every passing minute seemed extremely long to him, especially after receiving several calls from the wedding company's people and his wife's family, making him even more anxious.

Seeing that it was already 6:15, Zhu Youcai said, "Stone, I think you should stop waiting for Chu Ge. Getting married is a major event in life, and if you miss the time to pick up the bride, what will become of it? How will you explain this to your wife's family? Just pick one of these Hondas and make do with it as the lead car."

Guan Rui echoed on the side, "Exactly, Section Chief Zhu is right. Do you really believe he can bring a Maserati for you? Even if their boss has such a good car, how could they lend it to him? If it gets scratched or dented, selling Chu Ge wouldn't cover the cost, right?"

Shi Tong was getting a bit swayed; although he felt that with Chu Ge's reaction earlier, he wouldn't deceive him in such matters, it was equally hard to believe that Chu Ge could get a luxury car like a Maserati. Plus, with Zhu Youcai and Guan Rui egging him on, he felt more and more torn.

He glanced in the direction Chu Ge left, then looked at Guan Rui and Zhu Youcai on the side, showing increasing anxiety and dilemma, feeling there was some truth in what they said yet clinging to a sliver of hope in Chu Ge.

Just as Shi Tong was utterly at a loss, not knowing what course to follow, Cao Xu approached, patting him on the shoulder.

"Stone, just wait a bit longer. Don't you know Chu Ge well? Has he ever failed to keep his word?"

Before Shi Tong could respond, Zhu Youcai scoffed, "Brother Cao, are you talking about the old Chu Ge from years ago? The Chu Ge of today is completely different. Have you forgotten how he bragged yesterday about receiving a call from Chen Jiatong?"

Cao Xu snorted coldly, disinterested in engaging with Zhu Youcai. On the side, Liang Jinjiang retorted, "Youcai, you do live up to your name, huh? We know Chu Ge better than you do. Moreover, at least he is trying to find a solution for Stone, not blowing hot air like you with your useless, cold remarks."

Since both Cao Xu and Liang Jinjiang had higher statuses, although Zhu Youcai was filled with displeasure, he didn't continue with any harsh comments, lighting a cigarette instead and turning his gaze elsewhere.

A few more minutes passed, and just as Shi Tong was almost unable to wait any longer, about to follow Zhu Youcai's advice to use a Honda as a makeshift lead car, a brand new white BMW approached from a distance, slowing down as it arrived nearby, and finally stopping beside Zhu Youcai.

The window rolled down, and a man in his forties smiled and greeted Zhu Youcai, "Section Chief Zhu, are you here for a wedding?"

Zhu Youcai's eyes lit up, "It's Mr. Zhang! You're just in time. My friend's wedding car had some issues. Can your car serve as the lead car for us?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang nodded readily, "Anything for you, Section Chief Zhu, no problem at all."

Mr. Zhang was a small-time businessman who had just made some money. He bought this white BMW yesterday and was still in the excitement of it. He came out early hoping to drive around and unexpectedly ran into Zhu Youcai, so he came over to greet him.

Seeing Mr. Zhang agree, and feeling the numerous glances around him, Zhu Youcai couldn't hide his satisfaction. He deliberately shot a look at Cao Xu and Liang Jinjiang, as if saying, "Did you guys claim I only talk empty words? What do you say now?"

Then he said to Shi Tong, "Stone, I've got you a white BMW. Let's get going!"

The implied message was: "Don't wait for that unreliable Chu Ge, at the crucial moment, it still has to be me."

At this point, even Cao Xu and Liang Jinjiang had nothing to say. If they didn't leave now, it would really be too late.

Looking at the white BMW, then at Zhu Youcai, Shi Tong no longer hesitated, said a few words of gratitude, and hurriedly got in.

Cao Xu sighed inwardly, feeling a bit helpless, but there was no other choice.

However, just as he was about to call Liang Jinjiang to find a car to get in, he couldn't help but glance into the distance, feeling a bit unwilling. Suddenly, he saw a pure white Maserati, with its front adorned with blazing red roses and two couple dolls on display, and he was slightly stunned. Then he happily tapped on the BMW's window.

"Stone, get out quickly!"

Hearing Cao Xu's voice, Shi Tong was slightly stunned, while Boss Zhang felt a pang of heartache—this was his newly bought BMW, and it cost him nearly four hundred thousand!

"Brother Cao, what are you…"

Shi Tong pushed the car door open and asked in confusion. Before he could finish speaking, he noticed everyone's eyes were fixated in the same direction.

Involuntarily, Shi Tong also looked over there, and was stunned!

In the field of vision was a white luxury car racing towards them. Because it was moving so fast, it seemed like a white phantom. At the front was a magnificent red composed of rose bouquets.

Seeing this Maserati nearing the convoy but showing no sign of slowing, the crowd couldn't help but let out a gasping exclamation as they were awestruck.

Closer! Even closer!

Screech… Screech!

Suddenly, the fierce screeching of tires against the ground rang in everyone's ears.

Before everyone could come back to their senses, the Maserati performed a perfect 180-degree drift, leaving a long tire mark on the ground and completing the rapid transition from extreme motion to complete standstill in an instant. It stopped precisely by the stunned Shi Tong's side, front and rear switched!

Amid a pervasive smell almost akin to singed rubber, the Maserati's window rolled down, revealing Chu Ge's ruggedly handsome face inside.

"Stone, sorry I'm a bit late. Hurry, hop in!"

As this voice seeped into everyone's ears, almost everyone subconsciously swallowed down a gulp of saliva. Although Chu Ge was still Chu Ge, seeing him in such a luxury car's driver's seat, it seemed… his entire demeanor had changed.

After all, as the saying goes, clothes make the man. If even a set of attire can embellish someone, much more so a rare luxury car.

Moreover, Chu Ge's drift just now was simply too cool; it was a high-speed 180-degree drift! Not a single petal fell from the bouquet on the front—what kind of skill does it take to pull off something like that?

A boy who liked watching anime blinked and muttered to himself: "Wow! Could Chu Ge have been possessed by the speed god of Qiuming Mountain? This… this is just too cool!"

Zhu Youcai, Guan Rui, and several others who disliked Chu Ge were utterly dumbfounded at this point.

They couldn't fathom, no matter how much they pondered, how Chu Ge could actually manage to get a pure white Maserati, and… how could he return in such a short time, with even the bouquet at the front fully arranged?

Filled with disbelief, Zhu Youcai's eyes fell on the tire marks on the ground and widened, feeling his heart twitch with each beat.

While being intimidated by Chu Ge's driving skills was one thing, the more crucial point was that even if he didn't understand car maneuvers, he had heard that drifting seriously wears down tires. Such a good car, even a single tire must be particularly expensive, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youcai's mood unexpectedly brightened, and he couldn't help but maliciously think to himself: "Let him show off, let's see how he explains it to the owner when he returns the car?"

Except, of course, Zhu Youcai wouldn't know that although this car was in He Qing's name, it was no different from Chu Ge's own car.

He also didn't realize that among everyone present, there was someone even more embarrassingly speechless.
