A few people quarreling attracted a lot of onlookers.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Ziyang shouted, "It's alright, it's alright. Prepare yourselves. The high-speed overtaking is about to begin."
Li Minxi, sulking, pulled Guo Xuyang away, leaving behind a dejected Li Ziyu.
He had not expected things to turn out this way.
He had only blurted out that he and Li Minxi had gone to a club and had just returned, following her home on impulse.
As a result, Li Minxi's father, Li Yiran, had reprimanded her in front of him, strictly forbidding her from going to clubs again.
Because of this, Li Minxi had not seen him for days, ignoring his calls and not replying to his messages.
He had come specifically to apologize today after hearing from Lin Ziyang that Li Minxi would be participating in this race.
Unexpectedly, this incident had occurred.
"Fourth Brother, don't be angry. Xiao Xi said that out of impulse. Guo Xuyang won us a million at the club, so she invited him out."
Su Ran, seeing Li Minxi walk away, tugged at Li Ziyu's sleeve and said, "We only met him today before coming out."
Li Ziyu's expression improved slightly upon hearing this. He asked, "Really?"
"Of course, it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Su Ran replied.
"Let's go. Get in my car, we're going too," Li Ziyu said.
Originally, Li Ziyu always rode with Li Minxi in races. He knew Li Minxi loved racing, so he always acted as her co-driver, experiencing the thrill and danger with her.
Lin Ziyang pulled off her big red shawl, walked to the center of the crowd of vehicles, waved his hand vigorously, and then suddenly lowered it.
The cars of the crowd sped off like arrows released from a bow.
Although Li Minxi's Ferrari was a two-door model, it had quick acceleration and a powerful push, leaving the other vehicles far behind.
This mountain road was practically deserted after midnight, so Lin Ziyang and the others used it as their regular racing ground.
Of course, there were stakes for the races. Participants would pay a fee of no less than one hundred thousand yuan to enter.
For these people, a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand was just pocket money; no one cared. They were simply seeking excitement.
Li Minxi could always secure first or second place here, earning hundreds of thousands in pocket money without fail, which was why she enjoyed playing.
After the argument with Li Ziyu this time, her emotions were clearly evident, as could be seen from the precision with which she controlled the steering wheel.
Several times, she narrowly avoided sharp turns, maintaining a speed of around 120 kilometers per hour without slowing down.
"Excuse me, beautiful, my life is in your hands. Can you slow down a bit?" Guo Xuyang said meekly.
"Don't talk. Close your eyes if you're scared," Li Minxi snapped.
Guo Xuyang really closed his eyes.
However, he maximized his perception. His perceptual range could only reach one hundred meters. The speed was too fast; if anything happened, he wouldn't have time to react.
He opened his eyes again and stared intently ahead. He didn't want to be thrown into a state of soul separation like last time with Xiao Yun.
"Be careful, brake! There's a car coming from the opposite direction," he shouted urgently.
Ahead was a bend that perfectly obscured Li Minxi's view. No matter how slow or fast she was going, she would collide with the oncoming vehicle.
The best course of action would be to brake and stop by the side, waiting for the other car to pass before turning.
But Li Minxi completely ignored Guo Xuyang's urgent shout. With a drift, she navigated the turn, only to see a large truck approaching them, flashing its lights and honking its horn.
Li Minxi froze. She even felt the excruciating pain of her body being shattered before it reached her brain and then vanished.
"Activate Life Ability." The moment the truck hurtled towards them, Guo Xuyang activated his Life Ability.
He could clearly feel himself restored to his original state in an instant. He saw how close death had been to him.
He saw the moment the truck collided with them, the instant the Ferrari's engine was blown away; he saw Li Minxi's head violently strike the steering wheel and then bend backward at a grotesque angle; he also saw Li Minxi's body torn apart like a water bag.
All of this happened in an instant, too fast to avoid.
He silently willed, "Collect," and gathered the damaged vehicle and the shattered Li Minxi into his mind.
Then, he activated his Life Ability. He watched as the car and Li Minxi were restored one by one.
Meanwhile, the truck driver was stunned. He had clearly just hit a small car, but it had vanished.
However, a deep dent at the front of the truck and the steadily leaking diesel fuel served as a reminder that an accident had indeed occurred.
After Guo Xuyang ran three or four li away invisibly, he released the car and Li Minxi.
He placed Li Minxi in the back seat of the car, secured her with a seatbelt, and slowly drove back.
The mountain road bend was crowded with people. Due to the accident, the race had to be suspended.
By the time Li Ziyu arrived, Guo Xuyang had already run three or four li away.
He didn't know why everyone had stopped. After inquiring, he learned that a red car had collided with a truck.
Red? There was only one red car participating in the race. That must be Li Minxi's.
He took out his phone and dialed Li Minxi's number, but it remained unanswered. He tried calling from Su Ran's phone, but it was also unanswered. He became frightened, worried that Li Minxi might have really met with an accident.
Li Ziyu circled the truck four or five times but found no trace of red debris. Yet, the truck driver insisted with all certainty that it was a red car, having seen it himself. He offered to show the dashcam footage if they didn't believe him.
As a result, after sifting through the dashcam footage, he found nothing but static. He angrily threw the dashcam to the ground and cursed it as a shoddy product.
Others assumed the truck driver had damaged his own vehicle and was falsely claiming to have been hit to claim insurance.
The speculation from the crowd made the truck driver feel wronged, but he was unable to defend himself.
Meanwhile, Guo Xuyang had already brought Li Minxi back to the finish line.
He gently carried Li Minxi down and erased that particular memory of hers.
Lin Ziyang watched Guo Xuyang carry Li Minxi down and asked in alarm, "What happened? What's wrong with Xiao Xi?"
"She turned too sharply at the bend just now and hit her head on the glass, knocking herself unconscious. She'll be fine in a while," Guo Xuyang said.
This excuse was too flimsy. Anyone who had driven knew that a driver wouldn't knock themselves unconscious unless there had been a major accident.
Lin Ziyang looked at Guo Xuyang earnestly spouting nonsense.
She didn't know what had exactly happened. She suspected Guo Xuyang might have drugged Li Minxi.
It had to be said that her imagination was quite wild.
