Chapter 44: Speeding

When they arrived in the South Country, Tang Shuo first called Fang Shirou, and then took the two of them in.

When Fang Shirou learned that Tang Shuo was coming, she immediately went downstairs to wait for Tang Shuo after hanging up the phone.

Unexpectedly, when she just went downstairs and Tang Shuo had not yet come in, a group of young men and women walked straight towards her.

When Fang Shirou saw an ordinary-looking man walking in front of her, a look of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly concealed it.

"Sister Mengzhi, why haven't you rested yet so late?" the young man asked.

Of course, it’s not that the young man recognized the wrong person, but Fang Shirou has been announcing the name Tang Mengzhi to the public over the years.

"Waiting for someone." Fang Shirou replied with a smile.

"Waiting for someone?" The young man smiled and asked, "It's so late, even my brother wouldn't dare to bother you. Who else would dare to ask you to come here and wait in person?"

"A friend." Fang Shirou said.

As he was speaking, Tang Shuo, Wu Lingyun, and Bai Miao also walked in. Tang Shuo said to Fang Shirou in the hall, "Senior Sister."

Seeing that Tang Shuo had brought two people with him, Fang Shirou immediately instructed Zheng Xiaowan to arrange a private room for them. She then said to the young man beside her, "Take your time and enjoy yourself. I have something else to do."

"Tang Shuo, let's go to the third floor." Fang Shirou said to Tang Shuo.

Tang Shuo glanced at the man who had just talked to Fang Shirou, then walked past him with Wu Lingyun and Bai Miao.

The young man looked at Tang Shuo's back, thought for a long time, and still felt that he didn't know him, so he turned and walked towards his friend.

…………

"Who are these two?" Fang Shirou turned and looked at the two people beside Tang Shuo.

"I have two brothers. The one who likes to laugh is Wu Lingyun, and the other one is Bai Miao." Tang Shuo pointed at Fang Shirou's back and said to Bai Miao and Wu Lingyun, "She is my senior sister, one of us."

Wu Lingyun blinked and gave Tang Shuo a knowing smile.

How could Tang Shuo not know what Wu Lingyun meant? After glaring at him, he was too lazy to argue with him.

After they entered the box and sat down, the silent Bai Miao said, "Captain, why did you retire?"

"Yes, Captain." Wu Lingyun continued, "Why would the commander let him go?"

Tang Shuo smiled as he poured wine for the others and replied, "It's a long story, mainly due to health reasons."

"Your health?" Wu Lingyun asked immediately, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's an old problem." Tang Shuo said, "I called you back this time mainly to help me."

"Captain, what are you talking about?" Wu Lingyun said dissatisfiedly, "You gave me this life, and at most I can return it. What's the point of helping or not? Besides, I feel happy working with the captain."

Bai Miao on the side also nodded.

Tang Shuo picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine with the two of them, then continued: "Bai Miao, from now on you will stay by my senior sister's side and protect her first."

Bai Miao glanced at Fang Shirou and nodded, "I understand."

Fang Shirou knew that this was Tang Shuo's good intention, so she didn't refuse and said to Bai Miao with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What about me?" Wu Lingyun asked immediately.

"You stay with Lu Wanqi first."

"Can I switch with Bai Miao?" Wu Lingyun suggested. "Since the last four people, no one has come to Lu Wanqi's side. It's so boring."

"No." Tang Shuo refused.

Wu Lingyun was a whimsical person, so while he could kill people, he wasn't so capable of plotting anything. The situation with his senior sister was complicated, so Tang Shuo felt more at ease leaving the steady and cautious Bai Miao here.

Wu Lingyun made a bitter face and said helplessly: "Okay then."

Tang Shuo didn't exchange too many pleasantries with the two of them. The people in the box could be said to be the group of people he trusted the most, and there was no need to talk about those things between brothers.

Then, the three people who had not seen each other for a long time started chatting about their recent situation, with Wu Lingyun mainly talking and Tang Shuo and others listening.

After finishing the two bottles of wine that Fang Shirou brought, no one asked for more. Wu Lingyun suddenly stood up and said to Bai Miao, "Let's go to the bathroom."

Bai Miao shook his head, looked at Wu Lingyun and said, "I don't want to go."

Wu Lingyun wanted to knock Bai Miao's head open to see if his circuit was different from that of an ordinary person. He grabbed Bai Miao's arm and said, "I'm drunk. You have to support me."

Bai Miao was pulled up and saw Wu Lingyun walking towards the door of the box. He frowned and said, "There's a bathroom inside."

Wu Lingyun was furious, and turned around with glaring eyes and said, "Just follow me."

Bai Miao suddenly realized what was going on and immediately followed Wu Lingyun towards the door of the box.

After the two of them left the box, Wu Lingyun turned to Bai Miao and said, "Why don't you have any foresight? Can't you give the captain some personal space?"

Bai Miao asked doubtfully, "But she is the captain's senior sister..."

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?" Wu Lingyun asked back. "Do you know what I admire most about the Captain?"

"What?"

"The captain's skills in picking up girls." Wu Lingyun said proudly, "Ever since I found out that the captain was having an affair with a British princess, I've made up my mind to learn from him."

"Then why are you still single?" Bai Miao asked.

“…”

…………

Tang Shuo looked at their backs and said to Fang Shirou beside him, "If there's anything that's inconvenient to handle in the future, you can let Bai Miao do it."

"Yeah." Fang Shirou nodded, straightened Tang Shuo's collar, and said, "Be careful."

Tang Shuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one can hurt me."

"boast."

The two chatted briefly, agreed on the time to meet next time, and then walked out of the box together.

Wu Lingyun, who was standing at the door of the box, was shocked and asked in surprise, "So fast?"

Tang Shuo smiled and shook his head, then said to Bai Miao who was standing beside him, "Be careful. If anything happens, contact me immediately."

"Um."

After saying goodbye to his senior sister, Tang Shuo took Wu Lingyun and walked out of the club.

When Tang Shuo was about to drive out of the parking lot in his inconspicuous Mercedes-Benz, a red Ferrari F12 came out from behind the crowd, did a beautiful drift, and stopped directly in front of the Mercedes-Benz.

Then, the Ferrari window slowly lowered, revealing a very beautiful girl sitting inside. She said to Tang Shuo, "Do you dare to have a race?"

Tang Shuo looked at the girl's car and asked with a smile, "Where's the bet?"

The girl seemed amused by Tang Shuo's audacity and asked, "What do you want to bet on?"

"Your car has some advantages, so let's bet on the car." Tang Shuo replied.

"OK." The girl said, "Follow me."

Tang Shuo started the car with a smile and drove behind the other car towards Yanjiao.

Wu Lingyun on the side asked in confusion: "Captain, who is this woman?"

"Enemy." Tang Shuo replied.

Although this was the first time he met this girl, he knew who she was.

The information provided by Jiang Tiantong had already introduced the other party in detail, and Tang Shuo had also seen the other party's photo.

Li Ruiyi's younger sister Li Yihe.

Although he didn't know why the other party came to pick a fight, Tang Shuo naturally would not back down in such a challenge.

No matter what tricks the other party is playing, won’t it become clear once you go there?

"So you really want to race against her?" Wu Lingyun said, "It's not that I don't trust your skills, it's just that the other car..."

This is why Wu Lingyun was confused. It was really inappropriate to drive a business-oriented Mercedes-Benz to race against a supercar.

Tang Shuo remained noncommittal and said calmly, "If we lose, it's just a Mercedes. Besides, we don't necessarily lose."

Wu Lingyun thought about it, nodded seriously and said, "That's right."

The car drove directly to Yunfeng Mountain in Yanjiao.

Yunfeng Mountain has been completely blocked since last year due to tourism development. As a result, Yunfeng Mountain, which was originally only a place where people occasionally raced, has become a paradise for some wealthy young men in Yanjing to race cars.

Jiang Tianwei is a representative among them. He comes to Yunfeng Mountain five days a week.

When the car arrived at Yunfeng Mountain, there were already many cars parked densely in an open space at the foot of the mountain. Most of the cars were priced over one million, and there were also several supercars worth tens of millions.

A bonfire was lit in the middle of the car. Accompanied by loud heavy metal music, a group of scantily clad men and women gathered around the bonfire, shaking their heads and enjoying themselves.

When the two cars stopped at the foot of the mountain, a group of people immediately surrounded them.

"Yihe, why are you here? I haven't seen you in a while." A young man in fashionable clothes walked up and asked, "Two matches today?"

"Zhao Hai, is there anyone on the mountain now?" Li Yihe asked after getting out of the car.

"Yes." Zhao Hai said, "Jiang Tianwei and Zhao Zhen are competing."

"How long have you been away?"

"Twenty minutes." Zhao Hai looked at the time and replied.

"That won't have much of an impact." Li Yihe said to Tang Shuo, who had just gotten off the car, "There's someone timing us at the foot of the opposite mountain. Starting from here, whoever reaches the foot of the opposite mountain first wins."

"No problem." Tang Shuo nodded.

Just now, Li Yihe was sitting in the car, and Tang Shuo didn't notice the other person's figure.

Looking over at this moment, he found that the other party was completely worthy of the four words "curvy and graceful". He felt a little regretful in his heart. Why did he bet on the car in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to bet on people?

"Then let's get started."

After Li Yihe finished speaking, he turned around and got into the Ferrari, while Tang Shuo got into the Mercedes-Benz on the side.

The playboys around were all shocked to see someone trying to race against others in a Mercedes-Benz. This was the first time they had seen such a weird thing.

If a person who has just learned to drive drives a Ferrari and an experienced drag racer drives a Mercedes, perhaps the Mercedes has a chance of winning.

But Li Yihe has been recognized as the female racing king in their circle for many years. Now she rarely appears in public. In her own words, winning is no longer meaningful.

Not to mention the huge difference in the cars they were driving, even if Li Yihe was driving a beat-up Xiali, they still thought he had a chance of winning. Furthermore, when it came to familiarity with the terrain, Li Yihe was hundreds of blocks ahead of this country bumpkin who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Where did Yihe find such a idiot?" a young man asked. "Driving a Mercedes and a Ferrari at high speed, is there something wrong with his brain?"

"Does anyone know that man just now?" asked a woman with heavy makeup.

"I don't know him." The young man who spoke first replied, "Why, do you want to get to know him?"

"Yeah, I already know enough normal people. I want to meet some crazy people."

"Anyone open the betting? I'll bet $200,000 on the Ferrari to win."

"Just for fun, I'll bet a hundred bucks on the Mercedes-Benz."

“…”

The car stopped at the starting line. Zhao Hai walked to Li Yihe's car window and asked, "Who is this guy?"

Li Yihe smiled and said, "This guy is the one who made my cousin Li Jia and my brother suffer."

"Tang Shuo?" Zhao Hai said in surprise.

"right."

Zhao Hai nodded, walked to the middle of the car, and after both of them were ready, he waved the flag in his hand.

The Ferrari driven by Li Yihe accelerated and rushed out like an angry bull, while the Mercedes-Benz was one step slower from the start due to its performance limitations.

Tang Shuo, who was already behind at the start, did not panic. He followed the other car with a smile on his face, as if the person racing was not him at all.

Wu Lingyun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw that his team was falling behind and hurriedly urged, "Captain, speed up."
