Chapter 12: Chapter 12

Making Up the Numbers

Sheng Xiao pressed the Bluetooth earphone in his ear and said impatiently, “Lu Sizhe, are you there yet? What are you waiting for?”

“We’re here.”

With that, Lu Sizhe held the steering wheel with one hand. The white race car stopped abruptly beside Sheng Xiao’s car. Then, he turned and smiled at Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao then made another call. “We’re here. Let’s start.”

Jiang Ci hung up the phone and looked at Shi Qian. “They’re here. You drive my car. I’ll drive Xiao Fei’s. Let’s start.”

Shi Qian drove a sports car, which was not suitable for racing.

“Alright,” she nodded. Then, she got into Jiang Ci’s black racing car.

Jiang Ci walked up to Huo Fei’s red hovercar.

Huo Fei was here to join in the fun. The contestants were Shi Qian and Jiang Ci.

She leaned against Shi Qian’s black sports car and smiled. “Brother Ci, sister Qian, all the best!”

Shi Qian held the steering wheel and smiled at Huo Fei.

She was on the same team as Jiang Ci, and they went up against two other people who were said to be quite arrogant.

She didn’t ask who it was.

Four racing cars, one red, one white, and two black, lined up at the bend at the foot of the mountain.

On the empty ground, several cars raced, and the crowd watched the grand event in excitement.

“Who do you think will win? Young Master Sheng and Young Master Lu, or that man and woman?”

Although Jiang Ci was famous, very few people knew him. Although he often came to race cars, no one knew his true identity.

“Young master Sheng and young master Lu will win. Those two guys wouldn’t dare to win against them even if they had a little brain!

“They could survive in the future if they make the two princes. Those two are here to play at best.”

“Not necessarily. That man has played with young master Sheng and young master Lu a few times, and the three of them have won and lost. Last time, the man lost and suggested that they play in a group match next time. That’s why the two teams have a pk today.”

“So that’s how it is. There’s going to be a good show to watch!”

The four racing cars rushed out as they spoke. It formally started the race.

Shi Qian was last and was still a distance away from the three.

Some people frowned slightly.

“I knew this woman was here to make up the numbers. She’s too weak! A man said.”

Another man said, “I thought that man would have to find an expert. In the end, he only found this one. It looks like he’s going to lose this time!”

“But that woman is quite brave. Is she pretty? The hat covers her face, so I can’t see what she looks like.”

“One would have shown his or her face long ago if he or she was good-looking.”

Huo Fei stood next to them. He heard their conversation. He looked at them and sneered, then walked toward them.

“Do you dare to make a bet? I’m betting on that man and woman.”

The two men looked at Huo Fei in surprise. ‘Was he an idiot?’

‘That woman was the one who dragged them out, and he still bet on them to win.’

“Do you dare to bet? One million.” Huo Fei said.

One of them suddenly laughed. It was as if one looked at a fool. “Sure, but … One million each. If they both lose, you’ll have to lose two million!”

He didn’t believe the couple could beat young master Sheng and young master Lu.

“No problem. If I win…

“I’ll give you double,” the man said with a smile.

“Sure,” Huo Fei smiled.

The people around became even more excited and looked expectantly at the turn of the road with someone who bet.

They guessed the first to return.

Sheng Xiao and Lu Sizhe had more supporters. A few people thought it was Jiang Ci, but no one thought it was Shi Qian. They thought it would be good enough if she could keep up with the three and stay caught up.
