"What do you want to play? As long as you can afford it, I will seriously tell you, no matter what you play, I will... accompany... you... until... the end..." Lu Yunsong said coldly as he looked at Ye Hao.
"Great! I suppose you have some credibility among these people, so how about this? I see you're a bit chubby, I think a striptease would really open everyone's eyes. How about losing and then chopping off your hands, leaving Lin Ruyu, and performing a striptease?" Ye Hao said with a mischievous smile.
"Pfft!"
Lin Ruyu was mesmerized by Ye Hao's melancholic eyes, but now hearing Ye Hao's words, she burst into laughter decisively. Her laughter, like a silver bell, made Ye Hao glance at her a few more times, thinking to himself how protecting a beauty was truly a torment!
Lu Yunsong felt outright humiliation, even thinking that Ye Hao was toying with him, or maybe Ye Hao didn't dare to play the car stunt and just wanted to bluff his way out. Although he was furious inside, he outwardly appeared more ruthless, saying, "Kid, this is the bet you want to add, then let's do it! I will make sure you are completely famous in Peng City."
"Call the reporters immediately, and arrange for them to come over. Then I will show this kid what it means to be truly famous," Lu Yunsong responded to Ye Hao and then turned to speak to his lackey.
"Yes!" Although Lu Yunsong's lackey thought this was quite a big deal, he figured that since Lu Yunsong had already spoken, what did he count for? Stopping an angry Yunsong would only backfire on him.
Lu Yunsong's lackey hurriedly contacted major newspapers and Peng City's largest media company. He knew Lu Yunsong was eager to humiliate Ye Hao, so when he contacted the newspapers, he made a point of noting that Ye Hao was the target of the Lu Family's eldest son, Lu Yunsong's, retribution. The newspapers seemed to catch a whiff of something juicy at this news.
They all arranged to send people over immediately, thinking perhaps tomorrow's headline news would be theirs.
"Kid, do you see this? Next, you better pray! Pray that I drive into a deep abyss so you won't be humiliated!" Lu Yunsong said coldly as he looked at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao had already smoked half a cigarette, but he slowly blew out various smoke rings, which made Lu Yunsong silently grit his teeth in anger. Thinking to himself, let the kid be arrogant for a moment, once he loses, the whole people of Peng City would remember him!
"Girl, are you secretly in love with me?" Ye Hao suddenly turned his head to Lin Ruyu and asked.
Lin Ruyu was captivated as she looked at Ye Hao, and when Ye Hao said this, her face flushed red, and she lowered her head. Seeing this, Ye Hao thought to himself, here's a great opportunity to annoy that idiotic rich second generation!
So Ye Hao leaned his head in and decisively flicked his cigarette ash out with his left hand and then pulled his left hand back, making a pose as if he were hugging Lin Ruyu. Of course! This wasn't a real hug, just for show.
Sure enough, Lu Yunsong sat in the Ferrari watching Ye Hao lean towards Lin Ruyu and even embrace Lin Ruyu, and he immediately blew his top.
"Bastard! I'm going to duel with you!" Lu Yunsong felt as though his goddess had been insulted, or that the woman he had reserved had been taken advantage of, so he shouted loudly.
Lin Ruyu looked up a bit puzzled, noticing Lu Yunsong's flushed face and Ye Hao's innocent expression. She had a feeling of not knowing where she was, then she revealed a look of nothing to do with her.
This expression fell into Lu Yunsong's eyes, making him feel even more hurt, goddess! How can you let that beast take advantage and still show a look of indifference? Don't you know this would make me very sad? Could you bear to let me be this heartbroken?
Lu Yunsong internally wept tears of blood as he cried out.
"That felt so good!" Ye Hao said something incoherent and even licked his lips.
Lu Yunsong stared furiously at Ye Hao, then roared, "Bastard, I'll make you see the consequences of losing. You wait, you wait..."
"Haha, come on! If I'm afraid of you, this fat-headed pig, how can I still call myself a handsome guy?" Ye Hao said with a smug smile.
"Alright, alright, alright! You've thoroughly angered me, where the hell is the judge, hurry up!" Lu Yunsong roared loudly.
A woman was pushed in front by Lu Yunsong's lackey to stand in the middle of the two cars, her body trembling, holding a **handkerchief. She watched Lu Yunsong's wheels pointing in her direction, and she dared not wave down the **handkerchief.
She was afraid that if the out-of-control Lu Yunsong drove into her, not only would she be unable to get compensation, but she might end up crippled.
"Throw it! Damn it." Lu Yunsong leaned out and yelled at the woman, slapping the steering wheel hard with both hands.
"Liu, go, damn it, what the hell are you so scared of as a judge, roll it!" Lu Yunsong saw the woman trembling, standing there not throwing the **handkerchief, and was even more furious.
"I... I... Should I go?" Lu Yunsong's lackey Huang Liu trembled as he looked at the direction of Lu Yunsong's front wheel.
"Damn! Liu, you're just like this?" Lu Yunsong became even angrier seeing his lackey didn't dare to throw the **handkerchief either.
"No... it's not that, um, Mr. Lu, if you turn your wheels straight, I'll go..." Huang Liu said and collapsed weakly as if drained.
Lu Yunsong seemed to realize that his wheel direction was a bit off and then corrected it. However, as soon as he corrected it, the woman quickly dropped the **handkerchief. When the **handkerchief hit the ground, Ye Hao's car shot off like an arrow.
Lu Yunsong yelled, "Damn!"
He internally despised Ye Hao.
Unfortunately, Ye Hao's car accelerated like an arrow but came to a sudden stop right in front of the female judge.
"Screech!"
The roar of their two sports cars pierced the silent night, and with a sharp brake, Ye Hao lowered the window, looked at the woman outside, and said with a smile, "Hey, beauty, it's late at night, shouldn't you be heading home to sleep?"
Lin Ruyu was wondering if this guy was supposed to protect her? But just as she was about to speak, Ye Hao turned to glare at her, saying, "Miss, can't you be a bit more professional?"
"Vroom!"
As Ye Hao and Lin Ruyu were talking, Lu Yunsong's Ferrari shot out like an arrow.
Everyone watched Ye Hao in confusion, wondering why he wasn't moving. Could it be that he had decided to surrender?
Su Qing was also among the crowd, looking puzzled.
In the car, Ye Hao was staring at Lin Ruyu. Lin Ruyu didn't quite get what Ye Hao was saying and tilted her head to ask, "What?"
"Girl! Can't you be more professional? This is a sports car! A race car! Can you at least put on the seat belt?" Ye Hao felt like facepalming and crying; why couldn't this girl get it?
"Oh… my bad." Lin Ruyu instantly felt awkward but quickly pulled down the seat belt and held onto the handle above the door.
"All set?" Ye Hao glanced at Lin Ruyu and asked. Seeing her nod, his smile turned a bit more chilling, and he said, "Now let me show you what real death racing is all about."
Before anyone realized that Ye Hao was going to take off, he sped away. At that moment, everyone saw a fiery red car leaving a trail of afterimages, moving incredibly fast. In just a mere three seconds, it had reached 200 km/h, a speed that left everyone in awe.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Ye Hao's foot seemed to be pressing a code, lightly tapping the accelerator at times and then stomping on it, maintaining a steady rhythm. At least in Lin Ruyu's view, the rhythm was strong, and the car's speed consistently stayed at 200, not exceeding or dropping below.
"You're driving this slowly; do you really think you can catch up with Lu Yunsong?" Lin Ruyu asked.
"Of course! That little rookie is nothing." Ye Hao maintained his composure and kept the car's speed constant, glancing at the rearview mirror as he passed a camera.
There's a stretch of ten miles with no cameras; he needed to make good time here. Talking to Qianqian in his mind, Ye Hao said, "Qianqian, adjust the car's system to unrestricted mode for me."
"Master, are you sure you want to set it to unrestricted? It might be easy to lose control." Qianqian's voice came through.
"Do it!"
Ye Hao instructed directly, without worrying about the potential safety risks of the car's unrestricted system.
With Ye Hao's command, Qianqian got straight to the point and switched the car's system to unrestricted mode. This meant as long as Ye Hao floored the accelerator, the car would keep speeding up. It would only slow down if he let go of the pedal.
"Unrestricted system control set. Master, do you need anything else from me?" Qianqian asked.
"No." Upon hearing Qianqian's words, Ye Hao slammed the accelerator hard.
Lin Ruyu's body was pressed tightly against the seat, mentally exclaiming, what kind of speed is this? It's almost faster than flying! She glanced at the speedometer and noticed the numbers were climbing… 250, 260… 300, 310…
The speed continued to increase, and in just three kilometers, they covered the ground swiftly, quickly catching sight of Lu Yunsong's Ferrari. Inside his car, Lu Yunsong saw them through the rearview mirror as if witnessing something unbelievable.
His car was equipped with a device to calculate the distance between the car behind and his own. Initially, he could maintain a gap of five kilometers, but now they were closing in, overtaking step by step.
Seeing this, Lu Yunsong felt a bit panicked; he couldn't afford to lose. Losing would be too humiliating. With that in mind, he floored the gas pedal.
At that moment, he only focused on making his car sprint faster, not realizing the car trailing him was gradually slowing, even dropping to just above a hundred.
Lin Ruyu, slightly short of breath, looked at Ye Hao and asked, "What happened earlier? How could you drive so fast? And why are you slowing down now?"
"Haha! That kid's too arrogant. If I don't tailgate him, he won't feel the urgency. Only by letting him relax and then making him feel urgent again, and keeping up that cycle, can I break his spirit. Once his spirit is broken, he won't come looking for trouble anymore," Ye Hao said with a smile.
"No, you're avoiding the main point. I asked, how could you reach a speed over 300 km/h?" Lin Ruyu's beautiful eyes were set on Ye Hao.
In her heart, she formed a new impression of Ye Hao; this man wasn't just any ordinary guy…
