Chapter 65 - Racing King

Longwan Mountain was the street racing hub of Hua Hai City, where every night more than a dozen car races took place.

Naturally, these events of speed and passion were accompanied by hefty bets and the presence of beautiful women.

To be able to claim the title of the street racing holy land of Hua Hai City and not descend into chaos, there obviously had to be a strong hand controlling the entire racing scene at Longwan Mountain.

Such individuals were often referred to as middlemen.

After Qin Mengyao and Lin Junhua decided to bet three million, she turned around and pooled funds with the girls from Yunying Society.

Three million was a lot of money for many ordinary people, but for these rich second-generation and official second-generation girls, it wasn’t a big deal.

Moreover, compared to the awkward situation just moments before, where she almost had to agree to become someone’s girlfriend for a month, merely placing a bet of three million, win or lose, they didn’t care at all.

So, the group of girls each contributed either one hundred thousand or fifty thousand, and it didn’t take long for Qin Mengyao to collect the three million through online banking.

It turned out that although the middlemen dominated the Longwan Mountain racing track, they offered excellent service.

The site was equipped with computers, banking facilities, and free wifi, and the entire racing stretch was monitored by numerous CCTV cameras.

Once Qin Mengyao had raised the three million, she immediately went with Lin Junhua to the middleman to sign the betting contract, which confirmed the bet for both parties.

Ye Fan watched from the side and couldn’t help commenting, “They really do offer comprehensive services, huh.”

Standing next to Ye Fan, Liu Yiyi added, “They take a ten percent commission.

But with a middleman present, no one dares to cause trouble or renege on a debt.”

After signing the betting agreement, Lin Junhua burst into laughter, “Bald Mengyao, you’re bound to lose!”

“Is that so?

I wouldn’t be so sure!” Qin Mengyao retorted with a cold smirk.

Lin Junhua shook his head, laughing, then pulled over a proud-looking young man in his thirties from the crowd of Pirate King Society and arrogantly said, “Do I even need to introduce him?

You recognize him, right?

Hmph!”

“Racing King Qin Gang!” Qin Mengyao couldn’t help but exclaim, her complexion souring.

The girls behind her also began to cry out in shock, with two of them even screaming like they had seen a celebrity.

They unabashedly rushed forward, holding onto the young man’s arms and rubbing their chests against his arms while coquettishly begging for autographs and selfies, oblivious to their hostile relationship.

Noticing the commotion, Ye Fan turned to Liu Yiyi and asked, “Is that guy really that good?”

“Extremely good!” Liu Yiyi replied worriedly, “Qin Gang is a street racing master who’s risen to fame over the past two years.

It’s said that he’s raced over a hundred times in Hua Hai City without a single loss, and the city’s racing community has named him Racing King.”

She then sighed and said, “I can’t believe Lin Junhua could be so despicable and shameless, it’s clearly a plot to take down Yunying Society.

If Yaoyao hadn’t firmly demanded the cancellation of the previous bet, Yunying Society would have been in a real mess.”

“Brother Ye, I think you should reconsider racing against him,” she advised kindly, “Since there’s no guarantee of winning, and street racing is extremely dangerous, it’s not worth the risk.”

Ye Fan replied with a calm smile, “How would we know without trying?”

As they talked, Qin Mengyao came over looking dejected and said to Ye Fan, “Bro, the opponent is very strong.

Are you still planning to race?”

“Of course, if he’s too weak, the race wouldn’t be interesting,” Ye Fan said, “But before the official race, I want to familiarize myself with the track.”

Given that Qin Gang was referred to as the Racing King within Hua Hai City’s street racing circle, he must be incredibly familiar with Longwan Mountain’s track.

Meanwhile, it was Ye Fan’s first time visiting Longwan Mountain, and he was completely in the dark about the race track’s layout.

Qin Mengyao responded, “Alright.

I’ll go talk to the middleman.”

Shortly after, she came back and handed over her car keys to Ye Fan, “Bro Ye, it’s arranged, you can go and get to know the track now.”

Knowing that his second-hand Citroën, which he had bought for fifty thousand yuan, stood no chance against Racing King Qin Gang, he unceremoniously took the keys from Qin Mengyao.

Following Qin Mengyao, the girls from Yunying Society pointed at Ye Fan and asked, “Sister Yao, is he our outside help?

A very unfamiliar face, haven’t seen him before.”

“Yeah, he’s definitely no match for Qin Gang.”

“Just as well, it’s only losing two hundred thousand.”

Amidst the doubting chatter of the group of girls, Ye Fan walked up to Qin Mengyao’s BMW X6, opened the door, and sat down.

He fiddled around leisurely for a while before starting the car and entering the racing lane.

After entering the racing lane, Ye Fan didn’t rush.

He drove slowly, his speed barely faster than that of an electric scooter.

“What’s he doing?” a girl asked.

Qin Mengyao replied, “Ye Ge is familiarizing himself with the track.”

“Familiarizing with the track?!” The girls exploded in disbelief, “Isn’t this too little, too late?

He’s definitely going to lose, absolutely!”

“Yaoyao, why don’t you race instead?

There might still be a glimmer of hope.”

Watching Ye Fan drive slowly away, Qin Mengyao said, “Ye Ge will definitely win!”

As she spoke these words, she didn’t believe them herself.

Could he win?

Definitely not, she just hoped it wouldn’t be too embarrassing of a loss.

At that moment, Lin Junhua, leading the boys from the Pirate King society, came over and scoffed loudly, “Baldy Yao, is that the reinforcement you brought in?

Tsk tsk, you might as well have raced yourself!

I’m truly thankful for the three million you’re handing over!”

When he spoke of the three million, he gritted his teeth with anticipation.

More than winning the money, he was thirsty for the victory that would win him a month with the girls from the Cloud Elite society, free to play with them as he pleased.

“If I dare to bet, then naturally I have confidence in winning, no need for your concern.

Beat it, just seeing you makes me sick!” Qin Mengyao said coldly.

The girls behind her also chimed in, “Didn’t you hear?

Yaoyao told you to scram!

So get lost, you make us sick too!”

Amidst the clamor and insults of the girls, Lin Junhua huffed, “Stop pretending here, just make sure you don’t welch on the bet after you lose!”

After speaking, he and the boys from Pirate King society moved away.

About half an hour later, Ye Fan finally drove back leisurely.

Getting out of the car, Qin Mengyao and Liu Yiyi went up to meet him, followed by a group of girls.

“How is it?” Qin Mengyao asked.

Ye Fan replied with a faint smile, “Not bad, the course is fairly simple.”

“Fairly simple?!” The girls behind Qin Mengyao cried out, “Stop bluffing!

Longwan Mountain’s race track is the most complex and dangerous we’ve ever seen!

If you can’t do it, don’t act tough here.

If you crash and die, we’re not paying for it!”

“That’s right!

With your hick look, you think you’re fit to compete with the Racing King, Qin Gang?

Just admit defeat graciously, and don’t sully our handsome Qin!”

Feigning curiosity, Ye Fan asked Qin Mengyao, “Your sisters are really strange, openly siding with the enemy.”

Qin Mengyao felt utterly disgraced and turned to scold the girl who had made the sarcastic comment about Ye Fan, “Zhao Caixia, did you forget to brush your teeth this morning, or did you just go eat shit, spewing such stink!

Believe it or not, I’ll tear that foul mouth of yours!”

The girl didn’t dare to retort, bowed her head in grievance, and muttered softly, “He’s just not on par with Qin Gang!”
