Golden Horse District!

At this moment, almost everyone's attention was fixed on the big screen, where the Bugatti Veyron and the Maserati had just entered the Orange Horse District. However, to everyone's surprise, the Maserati was still tailing the Bugatti Veyron, and the latter did not increase its speed again.

Just as everyone was puzzled, suddenly, the big screen went black.

When the two cars disappeared into the black screen, almost everyone started cursing.

"There's a power outage!" someone shouted, and immediately, the people around joined in loudly cursing.

"There are power outages in Liangju Bay?" Jiang Miaoke looked at Han Ruoxi with some confusion. Ruoxi was more familiar with Liangju Bay, because Miaoke seldom came here—her hobby was not racing.

Ruoxi replied with some surprise, "I think this is the first time. I heard that the network here is directly connected to the power station; unless the power station is gone, how could there be a power outage? Really strange."

Miaoke suggested, "Why don't we drive to check it out?"

"But can our cars catch up with those two?" Han Ruoxi thought of the terrifying speed of the two on the big screen and was amazed. She was not capable of driving at that speed.

"What should we do, then? Just wait here?" Miaoke asked, "That's so boring."

"There's nothing else we can do, let's just wait for now," Ruoxi said with a smile, while people around had already begun making calls to inquire about the power failure at Liangju Bay.

Ye Xiao and Li Siqi, in the Golden Horse District, were unaware of everything that was happening. At the moment, the former was concerned about potential technical issues with the Bugatti Veyron, while the latter wondered why the Bugatti Veyron could not accelerate again.

However, at this moment, what none of the people in Liangju Bay had noticed was that the checkpoints between the Golden Horse District and the Red Horse District, which were originally open, were now closed. The three-meter-high barriers could not be reopened without equipment. This was not the end but the beginning. For when the Bugatti Veyron and the Maserati left the Red Horse District and entered the Orange Horse District, the checkpoint between the Red Horse District and the Orange Horse District also closed again.

Yet, no one noticed these developments, not even Ye Xiao.

Until...

The Bugatti Veyron sped forward. Ever since entering the Orange Horse District, Li Siqi had felt something was off with the Bugatti Veyron, but she couldn't pinpoint the problem. However, as she drove rapidly and approached about 500 meters from the checkpoint between the Orange Horse District and the Yellow Horse District, Siqi's complexion changed dramatically because the checkpoint in front, between the Orange Horse District and the Yellow Horse District, was closed.

What's going on? A big question mark appeared in Siqi's mind. She thought she had ordered that all checkpoints in Liangju Bay should be open. Why was one closed? If she hadn't been careful, running straight into it without being able to brake in time would surely lead to a catastrophic crash.

At this time, Ye Xiao, tailing the Bugatti Veyron, was also concerned about the dangers facing the Bugatti Veyron. After all, at such high speeds, the tires would be extremely hot, and there could be sparks during a drift, though the chances were low. If sparks met gasoline, the Bugatti Veyron would be finished.

Of course, Ye Xiao was indifferent to whether the Bugatti Veyron would be finished. What mattered to him was that Li Siqi, who was about to give him a kiss, was inside.

However, seeing the closed checkpoint ahead, Ye Xiao suddenly felt pleased. Previously, he had been trying to figure out how to stop the Bugatti Veyron, and now it seemed like it would have to stop regardless of his intentions.

The Bugatti Veyron and the Maserati stopped in front of the checkpoint. Li Siqi immediately got out of the car, looked at the three-meter-high barrier, and angrily exclaimed, "What a bunch of useless layabouts."

Ye Xiao also got out of the Maserati, but instead of approaching Siqi, he walked over to the exhaust of the Bugatti Veyron, squatted down, and carefully inspected it again. Indeed, it was gasoline!

Now Siqi also noticed Ye Xiao at the back of her Bugatti Veyron, and frowning, she came over, pulled out her phone to make a call, and glared at Ye Xiao, demanding, "What are you looking at?"

Without looking up, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Your car is leaking oil. You should deal with it quickly, or it could cause problems."

"How could it be?" Siqi, hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately looked at the exhaust of the Bugatti Veyron and indeed saw some liquid. She had thought it was water, but a closer look confirmed it was oil, and she said in shock, "How is it leaking oil?"

"I'm not sure," Ye Xiao said with a laugh, "luckily, this checkpoint is closed. If your car had run the entire circuit of Liangju Bay, who knows what could have happened."

While Siqi felt a lingering fear from Ye Xiao's words, she had the phone to her ear for a while without a response. She glanced at the screen and frowned again, complaining, "How unlucky, there's no signal either."

No signal?

Ye Xiao immediately looked up, puzzled, and said, "There shouldn't be any signal issues here."

Li Siqi didn't respond to Ye Xiao and suddenly her expression turned sour as she muttered, "Why isn't there even a trace of signal?"

Ye Xiao quickly took out his phone. The advantage of this old Nokia model was its usually excellent signal, so he wanted to check if it was getting any.

"Eh? Nothing? It's as if the phone signal has been jammed?" Ye Xiao remarked, surprised.

Hearing Ye Xiao's comment, Li Siqi looked up again at the closed checkpoint and said, puzzled, "Something doesn't seem right. The staff managing Liangju Bay wouldn't be unaware that suddenly closing the checkpoint during a race could cause a major incident. This doesn't make sense."

"But if they're not staff, then it would make sense," Ye Xiao said with a hint of a cold laugh in his voice.

Li Siqi, hearing this, immediately glared at Ye Xiao and retorted, "Isn't that obvious? I know that too."

However, when she looked at Ye Xiao, she noticed he was focusing on one side of the race track and there was an unusual gleam in his eyes. Li Siqi followed his gaze and saw four or five black-clad figures armed with Witch Blades standing there, clearly ready for a fight.

"Ah?" Li Siqi gasped in shock, not recalling having offended anyone to the point that they wanted her dead.

"What a nuisance!" Ye Xiao said with a wry smile.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's comment, Li Siqi immediately turned to him and asked, "Do you know these people?"

"I don't," Ye Xiao replied.

"After all, if you didn't know them, they couldn't be your enemies, right?" Li Siqi asked quickly.

"I don't know them, but they are indeed my enemies. Oh no, I should say, I am their enemy," Ye Xiao clarified. Just from their attire, he had guessed their identities. However, what Ye Xiao didn't expect was that these people would make a move on him in broad daylight. Oh right, even though it was broad daylight, this was Liangju Bay, where the general public couldn't enter, and the checkpoint was closed—surely related to these attackers. If that were the case, Ye Xiao suspected all the other checkpoints must have closed by now too.

"Could these people have been sent by Feng Yang?" Li Siqi wondered aloud, unaware of Ye Xiao's past and only remembering the recent incident between Ye Xiao and Feng Yang.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't try to pin everything on the guy. Do you really think he'd have taken control of this place and jammed the signals in such a short time? I think only that organization would be capable of acting so swiftly."

"Which organization is that?" Li Siqi asked curiously.

"If you admit defeat, I'll tell you," Ye Xiao said with a sly smile.

Admit defeat?

Li Siqi immediately remembered that if she lost, she would have to kiss Ye Xiao, causing her to frown deeply and say, "Go to hell."

"You're really heartless!" Ye Xiao said with a bitter smile and shook his head, while those five people had already started walking toward him.

"I don't have time to protect you," Ye Xiao said to Li Siqi at his side. "You'd better stay put and not draw their attention by running around. You've seen that all five of them are men, and they probably aren't from Yan Country, so they won't be gentlemanly like me. If they catch you... Well, let's just say it won't be as simple as a kiss."

"Huh?" Li Siqi went red at this, feeling a bit puzzled, but then she quickly grasped what he meant and blushed even more, about to say something when Ye Xiao had already approached the five men.

"Gentlemen, have you come here to seek death?" Ye Xiao walked up to them and, with a confident chuckle, provoked the men.

There was no one else around at this point, and Ye Xiao saw no reason to show weakness. Besides, showing weakness wouldn't stop them from attacking him anyway.

"So you're Ye Xiao," said the man in the middle of the group, addressing Ye Xiao with a cold voice.

Ye Xiao nodded and replied with a smile, "Indeed, I am."
