Tianma Mountain, also known as Tianma Peak.
It was named so because it possessed two comparable mountain bodies, forming a shape resembling a celestial horse.
A winding road had been built connecting the peaks of the two mountains.
At this moment, Qin Xuan stood atop the western peak of Tianma Mountain, admiring the sun as it gradually dipped below the horizon.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingying, clad in red, leaned against a nearby tree, retching violently.
She swore that ever since she could remember, she had never felt as sick as this, not even when driving a race car, let alone an airplane!
Damn it, the constant acceleration and deceleration through the turns was simply torturous.
The most critical part was that as Qin Xuan became more familiar with the car, he had pushed the speed to its absolute limit, taking almost every corner by the cliff's edge!
If she hadn't been driving for so many years and developed a strong constitution, she would have fainted in the car right then and there!
"You are truly such a person... *cough* %@#￥"
"I'm telling you, you #%#￥..."
And this guy calls himself a race car driver?
"You should finish throwing up before you speak."
Watching the sun finally set, Qin Xuan shook his head with a hint of disdain. It was only after ten minutes that Gu Qingying managed to sit back in the car.
"I mean, do you have to adapt to the track like this?"
"Can't you just run a lap smoothly and properly?"
Qin Xuan nodded, "Sure."
"But didn't you say you wanted to race?"
"If I can't find the perfect angle, how can I guarantee a sure win?"
"So, have you found a way to win for sure now?"
A confident smile spread across Qin Xuan's face, his self-assurance evident, "Of course."
"It's foolproof."
Really?
Gu Qingying looked at Qin Xuan with deep suspicion.
She had driven this track dozens of times, yet she still lacked absolute confidence.
This guy, after only one run, was so sure of himself?
What made him so confident?
Qin Xuan naturally sensed Gu Qingying's gaze, but he offered no explanation, merely a slight smile.
Slowly driving the car back to the eastern peak, the two began their long wait.
Finally, as the moon climbed to its zenith, the roar of engines suddenly reverberated through Tianma Mountain.
Sleek, aerodynamic supercars, their high beams blazing, ascended from the base of the mountain.
Accompanying them were the passionate shouts of many men and women.
"Yo, isn't this our little princess from the Gu family?"
"Here so early today, can't wait to get into Brother Jie's bed?"
After the first batch of luxury cars arrived, a man dressed in leather, with an earring in one ear, swaggered over.
Gu Qingying, showing no signs of weakness, let out a cold, imposing laugh, "Li Yin, a mere dog dares to bark here. If I wanted to deal with you, do you think Lin Yingjie would dare to intervene?"
With that simple statement, Li Yin's face instantly turned ashen.
Because Gu Qingying was right.
In terms of status, he was nothing more than a dog under Lin Yingjie.
And if Gu Qingying was determined to deal with him, Lin Yingjie would definitely not intervene.
However, Li Yin couldn't quite understand why Gu Qingying, who had been flustered just a few days ago, was suddenly so assertive.
He stiffly retreated to his sports car, staring resentfully at Gu Qingying.
His gaze inadvertently flickered towards her car, and a cold smile immediately appeared on his face.
Another hour passed before all the personnel were finally in place.
Every turn of Tianma Mountain was equipped with dedicated cameras and recorders.
Simultaneously, dozens of drones were prepared for takeoff, ready to transmit the race footage to everyone's mobile phones.
"Brothers participating in the race, come over and record your wagers."
As a refined-looking man with glasses sent a voice message in the group chat, the participants of the race flocked to his side.
"Brother Yingjie, I'll bet a spacious apartment in the outskirts of Modu, here are the keys."
"Yingjie, I'll bet two Porsche supercars, here are the keys."
"Heh heh, Brother Yingjie, I'll bet an 8.5-rated beauty. I've kept her here, and she's still a virgin!"
"Brother Yingjie, I'll bet this Patek Philippe, 7 million with the original diamonds."
"Yingjie..."
"Brother Yingjie!"
In just twenty minutes, the ledger in front of Lin Yingjie was densely filled with bets, the total value of all the stakes reaching four to five hundred million.
Lin Yingjie himself added a substantial wager on top of that: a top-tier luxury mansion in the Tan Palace district of Modu, valued at nine hundred and ten million.
"Wagers are all in, now let's all get into position!"
Lin Yingjie waved his hand grandly, about to return to his vehicle, when suddenly, Li Yin, who had been plotting, emerged from a distance, shouting.
"Brother Yingjie, have you forgotten something?!"
Lin Yingjie raised an eyebrow, unsure of Li Yin's intentions, but saw Li Yin quickly approach and exclaim, "Brother Yingjie, you forgot?"
"Our Miss Gu Qingying hasn't placed her bet yet!"
"Qingying?"
Upon hearing Gu Qingying's name, a flicker of displeasure crossed Lin Yingjie's face.
Who here didn't know about his private agreement with Gu Qingying?
Why was this lackey causing trouble now?
Just as he was about to sternly dismiss Li Yin, Li Yin's voice carried again.
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
"Miss Gu has found a top professional race car driver today!"
"Even if she doesn't bet, she can still beat us rookies for sure."
"Brother Yingjie, it seems your luxury villa is going to change owners this time!"
Li Yin deliberately emphasized words like "top," "sure win," and "change owners."
The implication was crystal clear.
Lin Yingjie's expression darkened.
With the other party saying so much, if he still didn't understand what was going on, his life up to this point would have been in vain.
But he had clearly instructed that no registered driver was allowed to help Gu Qingying.
Who had defied his orders?
Lin Yingjie forcefully suppressed his inner anger and intended to approach Gu Qingying.
However, to his surprise, she was already walking over with a man.
"Lin Yingjie, Li Yin is right, I haven't placed my bet yet."
"Now, I will record my wager."
"And as for the person beside me, since Li Yin mentioned it, I will make it clear to you."
"His name is Qin Xuan, and he's my new friend."
"You said before that I could find anyone to help me, right?"
"This is the person I found."
"Don't worry, he's not some top race car driver."
"To be precise, he's only been in contact with supercars for two or three days."
Hearing Gu Qingying's words, Lin Yingjie was stunned.
What did she mean by this?
Finding a novice to race?
Had she given up?
But her expression didn't suggest she was throwing in the towel!
While Lin Yingjie was still in a daze, Gu Qingying had already approached the wooden table and swiftly signed her name.
Li Yin clapped his hands, "Miss Gu is indeed straightforward, I admire you."
"However, for today's race, everyone participating must place a bet."
"Since this brother is racing on behalf of Miss Gu, shouldn't he also wager something?"
