"But I still feel like something's not quite right."

The man with dreadlocks stroked his chin, stared at the scene for a long time, and then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

A jolt of electricity seemed to run through my heart.

He suddenly realized what was wrong.

Xu Youwei holds a high position in Jiang City's racing world, not only because of her powerful background and beautiful appearance.

Her skills in racing are equally impressive.

Having won regional races multiple times, Xu Youwei has brought honor back to Jiang City's racing scene, which had been at the bottom for years. According to several racing scouts, Xu Youwei is strong enough to compete in world championships, and she could even secure a place in a top-tier racing team.

This was confirmed when many of the world's top racing teams publicly expressed their desire to recruit Xu Youwei.

This caused a huge uproar in the domestic motorsports industry.

However, she resolutely rejected offers from teams around the world.

She only wants to race in China and has no interest in participating in world championships.

This behavior is quite endearing.

To be honest, not everyone has the kind of determination to choose to stay in China when they clearly have better opportunities and room for advancement.

This has led to Xu Youwei's unprecedentedly high status in Jiang City's racing world, and she has received a great deal of attention.

Gradually, a small group led by Xu Youwei formed in the local racing circle of Jiang City.

Many top-ranked racers in Jiang City follow Xu Youwei's lead. No matter which race she's going to participate in, or whether she just wants to have some fun racing to relax, she always gathers a large group of people around her, and each of them is a prominent figure in Jiang City's racing circle.

Only those who are not strong enough or of high enough status would come here alone.

Otherwise, if they had the chance to become Xu Youwei's protégé, none of them would have missed it.

They'd do anything to get in.

But if you can't get in even after trying your hardest, you'll have no choice but to give up.

"Sister Youwei today...is actually all alone? That can't be right, there's not a single familiar face around?"

The man with dreadlocks rubbed his eyes, looking incredulously at "Xu Youwei" who had already entered the race car. The blond man standing next to her, who was being treated as her bodyguard, noticed his gaze, turned his head, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The warning was quite clear.

"Wow! This person's eyes are terrifying..."

The man with dreadlocks instinctively lowered his head, not daring to meet Xia Che's gaze. Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead and soaked through his back.

Although I had long heard that Sister Youwei's background was terrifying, the kind of underground force that ordinary people fear most...

But seeing it today, it is indeed frightening.

If I dared to look at him a few more times, that blond guy would probably beat the crap out of me.

Could it be...?

Is that why Sister Youwei doesn't have any followers around her today?

Is Sister Youwei in a bad mood and just wants to race alone in peace?

"So that's how it is... Ah."

The man with dreadlocks crouched in the corner, trying to minimize his presence. Xia Che's glance was truly frightening, and all his previous suspicions now seemed reasonable.

As it turns out, as long as someone is strong enough...

Therefore, no matter what the other party chooses to do that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, someone will automatically come up with a reasonable explanation for them.

...

"It seems Xu Youwei is quite popular here; many people are observing you."

Xia Che stood outside the car, warned the man with dreadlocks, then bent down and looked at Yu Shiyue, who was already sitting in the driver's seat. He smiled slightly and said, "Impressive, big star."

From the moment they entered, they were constantly being watched by various subtle gazes.

Some people, like the man with dreadlocks, openly watched, but most secretly observed and quickly withdrew.

Fortunately, Yu Shiyue and Xu Youwei look so alike that it seems no one else has suspected anything.

"Get lost... I'm so nervous I can't breathe."

Yu Shiyue rolled her eyes at Xia Che, gripped the steering wheel with both hands, the excellent leather texture bringing a heavy, cool feel. Yu Shiyue tightened her grip, and miraculously, she was less nervous, perhaps due to psychological factors.

Her heart, pounding so hard it felt like it was about to leap into her throat, seemed to transform into an invisible scent as she sat down. Yu Shiyue couldn't describe what that scent was, but her heart calmed down.

It's as if I was destined to drive race cars.

"Strange...why do I have this feeling?"

Yu Shiyue blinked, a deep sense of doubt appearing in her beautiful eyes.

It seems that racing was just a sudden idea of ​​hers. Before actually coming here, Yu Shiyue had never shown any particular love for cars, at most she just had some longing for them. What she really liked was painting.

Yu Shiyue couldn't figure out where this feeling came from, but now was clearly not the time to think about it.

"Don't be nervous, it will be fine in a moment."

Xia Che smiled, then straightened up and looked at the dazed staff member.

Now that the other party is on the same boat as them, the plan is much easier to implement.

Receiving Xia Che's hint, the woman coughed lightly, then walked towards the staff member conducting the routine check and asked with a smile, "How is it? Has the check been completed?"

"Hmm... It's Sister Liu. Yes, the contestants' information has been registered and verified. We can start once the judges give the start command."

The staff member was engrossed in writing something down in his notebook.

According to the rules, he cannot leave before the race starts. To ensure the fairness of the competition, he must watch the racer start the car and enter the track before he can leave.

After all, match-fixing and using substitutes exist in all competitions around the world.

"I see... So you mean you also know who the driver for this car is?"

The dazed Sister Liu stepped aside to block the other person and secretly pointed to the car behind her.

"Of course I know, the famous Xu Youwei, the only shining star in Jiang City's racing world. But it's quite rare to see her bring a navigator today... I didn't dare ask too much, she didn't seem to be in a good mood."

Sister Liu was considered quite popular among the staff at the racetrack, so when the staff realized she might have something to say privately, they looked around and moved closer to her to avoid being noticed by others.

"So you noticed too? She really isn't in a good mood. When I brought them here earlier, Xu Youwei even threw a tantrum at me."

Sister Liu shrugged, with an expression that said working people have no choice.

That is indeed the case.
