Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 186 Fasten Your Seat Belt


Fast Shadow Race Track is one of the more famous race tracks in Minghai City, boasting a vast area and the best circuit in the city.

There are several tracks at Fast Shadow Race Track, the most renowned being the exclusive track of Weihang Club, which is also the best circuit at Fast Shadow Race Track.

And at this moment, at the starting point of this finest track,

Lan Lan's BMW X6 and Zhao Xin's red Ferrari were parked at the starting line.

"Ye Xiao, you don't need to get in the car; getting in won't help anyway, your place is here," Lan Lan said, looking at Ye Xiao.

"Helping might not be possible, but it could boost some courage. Besides, shouldn't you two get a bit closer? Who knows, after today she might not even want you," Zhao Xin said with a mocking face, clearly convinced of Lan Lan's defeat.

Zhao Xin's mindset wasn't surprising; she ranked among the top three drivers at the Minghai branch of the Weihang Club. Generally, anyone who wasn't left half a lap behind by Zhao Xin was considered good enough to join the Weihang Club's Minghai branch.

Lan Lan shot Zhao Xin a cold glare and said, "Why the arrogance? Do you think you can definitely win? Let me tell you, if I want to, I can surely beat you."

With a proud face, Zhao Xin said, "How about this, I'll give you a half-lap advantage, since my car is better than yours."

Just as Lan Lan was about to speak, Ye Xiao chuckled and looked at Zhao Xin, saying, "If we win, we'd like an additional condition. I wonder if you dare agree?"

Zhao Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Alright, let's hear your condition."

Hearing Zhao Xin's agreement, Ye Xiao then turned to Xu Ming and said, "You are their leader; I think it's up to you to call the shots."

Xu Ming was surprised that this usually quiet guy was making conditions just as the race was about to start, yet he was still very confident in Zhao Xin's driving skills.

Xu Ming said, "Let's hear your condition."

Upon hearing Xu Ming's words, Ye Xiao glanced at Lan Lan, his face wearing a mischievous smile.

Seeing Ye Xiao's expression, Lan Lan became very puzzled.

After looking at Lan Lan, Ye Xiao then turned to Zhao Xin, who also looked at him, but she didn't understand why Ye Xiao was looking at her at this moment. Could this condition also involve her?

"If we win, I want this beauty to keep me company for twenty hours."

With Ye Xiao's words, everyone was shocked; other than Xu Ming and Lan Lan, the rest wore angry expressions—if looks could kill, Ye Xiao might have already died many times over at that moment.

Especially Zhao Xin, with her frosty face, she seemed even colder now.

Zhao Xin coldly said, "You've got some nerve, making such a shameless request."

Ye Xiao immediately smiled lightly and said, "This request wasn't initially made by me; it was you who proposed it first."

"Agree to it," Xu Ming's voice came from behind.

Suddenly, Zhao Xin, Ren Yi, and the others were surprised to look at Xu Ming, clearly unable to believe Xu Ming would agree to such a thing.

Xu Ming continued, "Zhao Xin, are you doubting your own driving skills?"

Though Zhao Xin was very displeased that Xu Ming agreed to such a request, she didn't dare to say much, and she indeed had confidence in her driving skills.

"Alright, I agree," Zhao Xin said reluctantly.

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled, his eyes deliberately roaming over Zhao Xin's body, clearly displaying a lecherous expression.

"Xinxin, I believe you would definitely yield to Lan Lan," Ye Xiao purposely looked at Zhao Xin and said.

Zhao Xin glared at Ye Xiao without saying a word and directly got into the Ferrari.

Ye Xiao and Lan Lan also got into the BMW X6, with Lan Lan naturally taking the driver's seat. After sitting in the driver's seat, she immediately looked at Ye Xiao with a puzzled expression and said, "Ye Xiao, don't tell me you really fell for Zhao Xin. As far as I know, Zhao Xin was once Xu Ming's woman. You want such second-hand goods?"

Ye Xiao smirked, saying, "A walk through a warren, can one remain unstained?"

"Shameless…" Lan Lan couldn't help but spit out these words.

Ye Xiao simply smiled and said, "Get ready to drive your car."

Just then, as the marshal, Ren Yi fired the starting pistol.

At the sound of the gunshot, Lan Lan's BMW X6 and Zhao Xin's red Ferrari shot off like two arrows, one white and one red. The speed was astonishing.

Earlier when Lan Lan was driving to the track, Ye Xiao had worn a tense expression the whole time, yet now on the race track, Lan Lan's speed quickly soared to 120, but the tension on Ye Xiao's face was gone, replaced by a smile interspersed with a hint of excitement.

The BMW and the Ferrari sped wildly on the track, the two vehicles like two arrows unleashed at great speed.

The race required twenty laps around the track, with the first to finish being the winner. Initially, the speeds of the BMW and the Ferrari were almost equal, but after one lap, the Ferrari had already started to take the lead.

Meanwhile, the speed of the BMW X6 maintained around 180.

Lan Lan's face showed urgency because, in previous modifications, this car could reach 200, but after an exquisite modification, why had the speed dropped?

What exactly was going on?

Lan Lan was anxious, but the more anxious she became, the less the speed increased.

After about five laps, the speed began to gradually increase, but when it reached 200, Ye Xiao suddenly felt something was off.

Because Ye Xiao's hearing was exceptionally keen, he was very clear about the sounds of the engine. Earlier, when the speed couldn't increase, he hadn't noticed anything unusual about the engine, but now Ye Xiao suddenly realized something was amiss—the sound of the engine had started to become harsh.

Ye Xiao had been into cars for more than a day or two, so he was very clear about how a normal engine should sound.

"Pull over," Ye Xiao suddenly said to Lan Lan.

Lan Lan was driving with concentration, and hearing Ye Xiao, she blinked, speeding along as she asked, "What did you say?"

"I said pull over, if you don't stop now, your car is going to be scrap," Ye Xiao seriously told Lan Lan.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Lan Lan blinked again and then said, "Zhao Xin is already nearly half a lap ahead of me. If I stop now, she'll overtake me by a complete lap in a blink, how will we win anything then?"

Ye Xiao said, "If you don't stop now, she will lead you to the finish line. If you want to win, just stop for me."

Lan Lan had never seen Ye Xiao look so serious nor heard him sound so serious.

The BMW X6 began to decelerate and finally stopped. As they did, Zhao Xin's car instantly passed them by, pulling ahead by a lap.

Ye Xiao then immediately got out of the car, walked to the front, and quickly scanned the modified parts of the engine.

Lan Lan watched the red Ferrari disappear in the distance, her heart filled with worry. But when she looked at Ye Xiao again, she heard him say, "Toolbox."

Because they often modified cars, Lan Lan's car was equipped with a toolbox that had all the necessary tools.

But now Ye Xiao needed the toolbox? Was he planning to modify the car on the spot?

Lan Lan's face filled with confusion as she asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"Give me the toolbox," Ye Xiao said, not answering her but instead focusing on the engine.

Lan Lan didn't know what Ye Xiao was aiming for, and then immediately brought out the toolbox from the car. Ye Xiao then found a few wrenches in the toolbox and began to work.

He skillfully opened the hood of the engine and quickly loosened and tightened things.

Lan Lan was standing beside him and hadn't even had a clear look before Ye Xiao closed the engine hood, then smilingly asked Lan Lan, "How many laps ahead now?"

Lan Lan looked up and saw the red Ferrari about to pass by them again.

"Almost two laps," she said.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, seeming to have plenty of time.

He didn't stop there but began to fiddle with other things—modifying here and there, all very minute details which Lan Lan rarely noticed.

About three minutes later, Ye Xiao closed the engine hood and then smiled at Lan Lan saying, "No problem now."

"But we're going to lose for sure," Lan Lan said with a dejected face.

Although Lan Lan was surprised that Ye Xiao knew how to modify cars, Zhao Xin's Ferrari had already surpassed them by a full six laps. What did six laps mean? Catching up would be ludicrous; even this car at its peak speed of 200 probably couldn't manage it.

"That lacking in confidence?" Ye Xiao looked at Lan Lan and said, "Since you're so unsure, why don't I drive?"

"You?" Lan Lan gave a bitter smile. This wasn't your Qirui, and besides, you couldn't handle it.

Ye Xiao chuckled, packed up the toolbox, and then directly sat in the driver's seat.

Ye Xiao looked at Lan Lan, who was still standing outside in a daze, and said, "Get in the car, or she'll be seven laps ahead soon."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Lan Lan hesitated but eventually got into the car.

"Buckle up," Ye Xiao kindly reminded her.

Lan Lan said, "Is that really necessary? I'm a racer, am I afraid of your speed?"

Ye Xiao said, "It's better to buckle up."

Eventually, Lan Lan buckled her seatbelt, and Ye Xiao, with a mischievous smile, looked at her and asked, "All set?"

Lan Lan immediately replied, "Stop talking and go."

Ye Xiao nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Very well."

The BMW X6 was started again, and its acceleration was extremely fast, rocketing out like a missile. That speed made Lan Lan immediately realize that Ye Xiao's driving skills were certainly not bad.
