Zheng Lingshan watched Ye Xiao leave, her heart suddenly became very chaotic. Although she had been all smiles when Ye Xiao left, the emptiness she felt now that he was gone was undeniable. Moreover, for some reason, she found herself unwilling to see him go. What was the reason? Could it be that she had taken a liking to Ye Xiao? Zheng Lingshan immediately dismissed this absurd thought. After all, she had only met Ye Xiao a few times; how could she possibly have developed feelings for him? It was simply impossible.

Therefore, Zheng Lingshan felt she was thinking too much. The reason for her inner turmoil was the warmth inside the VIP room—obviously, it was bound to get warm with the air conditioning on and the food she had been eating. So, she quickly put on the jacket she had taken off earlier and prepared to leave the place.

As for Ye Xiao, after he left Saint Paul's Barbecue Restaurant, he immediately hailed a taxi on the roadside.

"Where to, young man?" The taxi driver asked Ye Xiao with a smile.

Ye Xiao said, "Fengqi District, Liangju Bay Race Track."

Upon hearing the address Ye Xiao had given, the taxi driver took another glance at him. Ye Xiao, dressed in a beige cashmere coat, might not be extremely handsome, but he still had an energetic look about him, which made quite an impression.

"Young man, since it's across districts, the fare can't be metered," the taxi driver said with a smile to Ye Xiao.

At the taxi driver's words, Ye Xiao chuckled to himself. Why did he always seem to encounter these unreasonable taxi drivers?

"How much then?" Ye Xiao asked the driver, puzzled.

"160 Yan Country Coins!" the taxi driver declared.

"That's too expensive," Ye Xiao said, looking at the taxi driver.

"Young man, you don't understand. It's the peak of rush hour now, prime time for us cabbies. If I take you to Fengqi District, I'll surely miss out on other fares along the way. So, if you don't wish to go, feel free to find another car." The taxi driver wasn't deceiving Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao was aware of this. It was already past one o'clock, and the peak for hailing taxis was soon approaching; taking Ye Xiao to Fengqi District would certainly mean missing out on better opportunities.

Ye Xiao said, "Okay, but please make it quick; I'm in a hurry."

"No problem, my driving is pretty good," the taxi driver boasted.

Ye Xiao wasn't interested in what the man was saying; he just wanted to reach his destination as soon as possible. He believed that Jiang Miaoke must have arrived there before him.

The chatty taxi driver shared with Ye Xiao various rumors about Liangju Bay Race Track while on the road.

As it turned out, there was a reason behind the establishment of Liangju Bay Race Track. A few years ago, it had been known as Golden Dragon Race Track, but it was renamed Liangju Bay Race Track after a certain incident; moreover, it was rumored to have been funded by a large company known as 'Liangju Group.'

Liangju Bay, Liangju Group!

It was unlikely anyone would believe there was no connection between the two names if it was suggested.

Of course, the most important piece of information the driver relayed to Ye Xiao was that ordinary people weren't allowed at Liangju Bay Race Track. Those who could enter were either wealthy or prestigious.

Thus, the driver probed to find out who Ye Xiao was, to which Ye Xiao replied that he wasn't any kind of nobleman.

At that moment, Ye Xiao stood in front of what was reputedly Liangju Bay Race Track. A large retractable gate stood before him, guarded by no fewer than eight security officers equipped with electric batons. They stood at attention like soldiers, or statues, commanding respect. Since his return to Yan Country, Ye Xiao had only visited the Fast Shadow Race Track in Minghai City, but even from just the entrance alone, Liangju Bay Race Track was already astonishing.

"Which club are you from?" Ye Xiao stepped toward Liangju Bay Race Track, but as he approached the gate, two security guards blocked his path, their gazes sharp as if they intended to see right through him.

"Club?" Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I don't have one!"

"No club?" Upon hearing that Ye Xiao had no affiliation with a club, the guard internally chuckled. The reputation of Liangju Bay was well known, and generally, people didn't dare cause trouble here. Moreover, Liangju Bay only welcomed two types of people: those belonging to the "Brother Yu Race Club," which naturally required Liangju Bay's approval, and secondly, those specially approved by the top management of Liangju Bay. Therefore, anyone who could walk straight in was no ordinary person. Hence, the guards didn't dare to underestimate Ye Xiao and continued to ask, "Then are you someone specially approved by the Liangju Bay Entertainment Company?"

"Specially approved?" Ye Xiao, who had never even heard these four words before, looked at the guard with some confusion and said, "What do you mean by 'specially approved'? Well, I might be someone specially approved."

Not even knowing what 'specially approved' meant and yet claiming to be so?

The security guard inwardly sneered but maintained a stern expression on his face.

"Since you are neither a member of the club nor someone specially approved by the Liangju Bay Entertainment Company, you cannot enter. Please leave," the security guard said.

"Heh, okay, so it's you who's asking me to leave. Let it be on record that it's not because I don't want to go, but because you're not letting me in." Ye Xiao, upon hearing the security guard refusing him entry, suddenly felt that this might be an arrangement by fate. Perhaps, facing Han Ruoxi inside would have been awkward. And, if he didn't go, and when Jiang Miaoke asked later, he could simply put all the blame for not getting into Liangju Bay on this security guard.

Ye Xiao felt incredibly clever for coming up with such a sneaky switcheroo strategy.

The guard, hearing Ye Xiao's words, was instantly puzzled and somewhat undecided because, although Ye Xiao spoke in jest, he also knew that anyone who could enter Liangju Bay was no ordinary person. If this unremarkable-looking young man before him turned out to be exceptionally wealthy, that could pose a problem.

"I wonder..." The security guard was about to ask Ye Xiao for his name, not wanting to be held responsible.

However, it was at this moment that a deep humming of an engine caught the guard's attention, and he immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

Curious, Ye Xiao also looked over and saw a black car with an orange-red chassis speeding towards the Fast Shadow Race Track. It was going fast, probably around 120 mph.

A Bugatti Veyron!

Ye Xiao only had to glance at it once to recognize these two distinguished race cars. Judging from the sound of the engine, this one had been modified, though only slightly. After all, a Bugatti Veyron's performance was already exceptionally strong.

A good car sometimes exudes a kingly dominance, much like these two Bugatti Veyrons, which rapidly approached the entrance of Liangju Bay and suddenly stopped.

Black tire marks immediately appeared on the ground.

Ye Xiao, observing this, couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. The price of a Bugatti Veyron was around 40 million Yan Country Coins, but if someone drove it like that, the wear on the tires would be incredibly excessive.

As such, Ye Xiao subconsciously furrowed his brows and shook his head slightly.

Just then, the car door opened, and a young woman dressed in a black racing suit with red trim got out. She was about 172 cm tall, and her suit accentuated her graceful figure. With her short hair and a very authoritative presence, she had a cold face. Of course, these weren't the main points—the most important aspect was that she was gorgeous, and a very chilly kind of beautiful at that.

"What's with that look of yours?" After getting out of the Bugatti Veyron, the woman immediately glared at Ye Xiao and demanded loudly.

Ye Xiao looked around, realizing he was the only one there, and replied with some confusion, "What's wrong with me?"

The cold beauty, hearing Ye Xiao's retort, angrily shot back, "I just drove here, why did you frown and shake your head? Do you think my driving skills are bad?"

Ye Xiao, hearing her words, chuckled and responded, "Of course not, your driving is quite good, it's just..."

The cold beauty heard Ye Xiao's words and was immediately displeased. If her driving was good, why was there a 'but'?

"But what?"

"I meant that your driving is good, but you don't seem to cherish your car, which isn't great for a racer," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

The cold beauty, hearing this assessment from Ye Xiao, was not convinced at all. She looked Ye Xiao up and down and retorted, "How do you know I don't cherish my car? Besides, have you even seen a car like this?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and replied, "They're not a common sight, but look at the tire marks at the back of your car—that's a clear indication of not cherishing it. Also, I think a girl like you would be better off driving a red or pink car. This one is more suited to a boy."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao giving her unsolicited advice and criticizing her, she became even less pleased, glaring at him before turning to the security guard and asking, "What's he doing here?"

"He says he wants to enter Liangju Bay, but he hasn't stated his purpose, so we couldn't just allow him in," the guard quickly informed the cold woman.

"Enter Liangju Bay?" The cold woman suddenly spoke in a chilly tone, "Liangju Bay isn't a place just anyone can enter. Only racers with exceptional driving skills can. Do you also possess proficient driving skills?"

"Proficient is a stretch, I've just played around a bit," Ye Xiao responded nonchalantly.
