Chapter 55: The Race Begins

After no one refused, Lu Ziyan immediately said. In his opinion, making someone call "dad" was just a verbal victory. Although a sports car as a bet didn't seem stingy, for people like them who were all well - off, adding more stakes would make it more interesting.

Ling Qianchen shrugged, indicating that he had no objection. Yuan Meng and Luo Yishan exchanged a glance, and Luo Yishan winked at Yuan Meng playfully, full of teasing.

"We have no objection," Yuan Meng said, turning her face away, too lazy to respond to her.

The four men were also wealthy. Since the women had said they had no objections, they naturally didn't either. So on the basis of a sports car and the loser having to call the winner "dad", another stake was added.

There were eight people participating in this drag - racing competition. The rule this time was that the eight people would be grouped in pairs. The first car to reach the finish line would be the winner, and the last one would be the loser.

After the rules were set, the grouping began. Ling Qianchen didn't hesitate and stood beside Yuan Meng. "I'll be in a group with Aiyue."

Luo Yishan beside him pointed at her own nose. "What about me?"

Glancing at Lu Ziyan, Ling Qianchen said in a flat voice, "You'll be in a group with him."

Yuan Meng was unhappy. She didn't want to be in a group with Ling Qianchen and immediately refused. "No need. I'll be in a group with Yishan. You two came together, so you two can be in a group."

Luo Yishan saw the situation and understood immediately. Ling Qianchen just wanted to spend more time with Aiyue to develop their relationship.

She wasn't an unreasonable person. Thinking like this, she turned to Lu Ziyan on the other side. "Xiaolu, where's your car? We're in a group. Hurry up and show me your car so I can get familiar with it."

Huh? Was this really her best friend? She was stabbing her in the back at a critical moment.

Yuan Meng was a bit helpless but finally had to accept it.

In the end, Yuan Meng and Ling Qianchen were in a group, Lu Ziyan and Luo Yishan were in a group, and the remaining four guys were randomly grouped into two pairs.

Since it was a drag - racing competition, a referee was essential. There were some onlookers around who were happy to take on this role.

They randomly chose a person who looked nice.

The referee stood in the middle of the four sports cars. Each car was already started, waiting for the referee's order to step on the accelerator.

Holding a colored flag in each hand, the referee looked at the people in the cars, made sure everyone was ready, then waved his hands and shouted, "The race begins!"

At this order, the four sports cars rushed out almost simultaneously.

Yuan Meng held the steering wheel with both hands, looking relaxed. She didn't care that Ling Qianchen beside her was constantly looking at her.

All the way, her car was steadily in the lead. Behind her, a black and a gray sports car were running side by side. The four men in the two cars glanced at each other and both showed a sinister smile on their lips.

The rumbling engine sound echoed on the winding mountain road. Up ahead was the most dangerous section of the entire mountain road.

This section had many sharp turns and the road became narrower.

When they reached this place, Yuan Meng saw in the rear - view mirror that the black and gray cars behind were flanking her from the left and right.

Yuan Meng scoffed and continued to step on the accelerator, completely ignoring the narrow terrain. The two cars behind didn't expect her to speed up in such a place.

Originally, they planned to flank her from both sides here, forcing Yuan Meng's car to slow down, then overtake her and leave her far behind.

So when they saw Yuan Meng speeding up, they were a bit stunned at first, but then immediately stepped on the accelerator to catch up.

This time, they changed their strategy. They closely followed Yuan Meng's car and squeezed her towards the cliff, while the other car waited for an opportunity to overtake.

Up ahead, a sharp turn appeared. Yuan Meng was already forced to the edge of the cliff. If the car moved just ten more centimeters to the side, the front wheel would be hanging in the air.

The appearance of this sharp turn gave Yuan Meng a glimmer of hope. She quickly turned the steering wheel, and the car rushed forward along the turning road.

This move was quite risky. Before completely getting out of the sharp turn, one of the car's rear wheels was already hanging in the air.

However, it was a close call. As for the gray sports car that had been constantly blocking her way, the driver didn't turn the steering wheel in time. The car almost rushed out. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stepped on the brake in time, thus avoiding a tragedy.

"Phew, phew." The man driving the gray sports car gasped heavily. He slightly leaned his head out of the window. It was so close. Half of his front wheel was already on the edge of the cliff.

He quickly reversed the car to get away from the cliff. At this time, Yuan Meng's car was so far ahead that they could only see its taillight.

"Chase," the man in the passenger seat said. "San'er and the others are still following! Do you want to lose?"

Hearing this, the man in the driver's seat regained his fighting spirit and stepped on the accelerator hard.

Up ahead, the red and black cars were constantly competing with each other, and another silver - gray car was following at a moderate distance. So the gray sports car was now in the last position. However, since the cars in front were constantly causing trouble for each other, their speed wasn't very fast. So the gray sports car quickly caught up.

San'er saw his brother catching up in the rear - view mirror and immediately launched a full - force attack on Yuan Meng. Whenever he had a chance, he wanted to force Yuan Meng's car to stop. But Yuan Meng had already passed the most dangerous section of the winding mountain road. The rest of the road was very familiar to her.

Her drag - racing skills were top - notch, and she easily dodged every attack. However, always being attacked was also an infuriating thing.

Soon, Yuan Meng felt a bit bored. She lifted the corner of her mouth. "If you like to play so much, then sister will play with you properly."

As soon as she finished speaking, she shook the steering wheel, and the car immediately moved towards the black sports car, forcing it to the side of the mountain. Just when it was about to hit the mountain, she kept some distance. When the other driver let out a sigh of relief, she got closer again.

She just wanted to have a drag - race, not really cause an accident to others. But since the other side had attacked her again and again, she also wanted them to experience what it felt like.

Ling Qianchen sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking at Aiyue's expression. He could tell that Aiyue was really into it, and a smile also appeared on his lips.

What kind of person was this woman?

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Yuan Meng suddenly turned her head and glared at Ling Qianchen. "What are you looking at? If you have time to look at me, you'd better pay attention to your own safety. I won't be able to take care of you during the drag - race."
