Chapter 285 Contemplating Suicide
A moment of silence fell over the surroundings.
Yuan Pei was dumbfounded.
"What...what did you say?"
"I want all the Yuan Group shares you own!"
Lin Wanrong repeated it again, her face beaming.
Yuan Pei is currently the second largest shareholder of their Yuan family business. If he gives all his shares to Lin Wanrong, then Lin Wanrong will become the second-in-command of their Yuan family business.
Yuan Pei never imagined that a street race would lead Lin Wanrong to ask him for shares in their family business.
"A man's word is his bond; you're not going to go back on your word in public, are you?"
"I……"
Yuan Pei was speechless.
Just as he was being stared at by pairs of eyes and forced into a dilemma by Lin Wanrong, someone suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.
Yuan Pei shuddered, turned his head, and saw that his eyes were wide open.
"Miss Lin, how about we have a match?"
Jiang Ning placed one hand on Yuan Pei's shoulder and calmly said to Lin Wanrong:
"If I win, Yuan Pei's terms with you will be null and void... If you win, I'll add the shares of the Lu Group I own. What do you say?"
Lin Wanrong casually tossed her hair and looked Jiang Ning up and down.
Jiang Ning was dressed in professional women's clothing, and by no means did she seem to have anything to do with street racing.
Since Jiang Ning came to Country C to meet Judge Chen, she naturally couldn't dress like a hot girl.
Nearby, most of the onlookers were Lin Wanrong's fans, and they looked at Jiang Ning as if he were a clown trying to attract attention.
"Where did this highly educated beauty come from? Does she even know how to drive a race car?"
"Forget racing, your boyfriend probably drives you to and from get off work all the time!"
"You've never even touched a steering wheel before, have you?"
Do you even know who you're challenging?
"Lin Wanrong is our country's racing goddess!"
"Hey, where's your car? I can't find it anywhere!"
A group of people pointed and mocked Jiang Ning.
Even Yuan Pei couldn't help but lean close to Jiang Ning's ear and whisper, "This Lin Wanrong is really tough to deal with. She left me behind on the third bend. I'm scared..."
That's because you're too bad at it.
Jiang Ning spoke very frankly, and his eyes were full of affection as he looked at Yuan Pei.
"Jiang Ning, it's not too late for you to change your mind."
Lin Wanrong held onto her beloved car—a bright red modified Ford—with one hand, her smile imperious.
"Lend me a car, any kind of car will do."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Lin Wanrong's leg hairs burst into laughter.
"I knew it, she doesn't even have a car."
"Hey beautiful, you can borrow my car, but do you know how to drive?"
"Do you even know what street racing is? You think it's like a driving school test!"
Hearing the noise all around him, Jiang Ning shrugged and smiled.
"Jiang Ning, didn't you drive here?" Yuan Pei asked, leaning close to Jiang Ning's ear.
"It's open."
"Then why don't you use your own car?"
"Need not."
Jiang Ning shook his head.
She used to drive the white BMW 3 Series under the name Lin Chu when she participated in the competition. She only stepped forward this time to protect Yuan Pei's shares, and she didn't want anyone to recognize her as Lin Chu because of it.
Seeing that Jiang Ning insisted on competing, a fan of Lin Wanrong lent her car.
"Hey beautiful, let's drive my car! It's a universally acknowledged top-of-the-line car, so don't make excuses if you end up crying!"
Jiang Ning caught the car keys that the other person threw to him.
The man's car was a silver-gray Ferrari.
Jiang Ning circled the car once.
"Yes, it is indeed a good car."
The car itself is good, and it has been tuned; the angle of the rear wing has been modified.
Thanks.
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he was about to get into the car when Yuan Pei suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Jiang Ning, you must be careful. This Lin Wanrong is not easy to deal with. Her cornering skills are superb, and her final straight-line acceleration is also..."
"Yes, I will."
Jiang Ning got into the silver Ferrari, while Lin Wanrong got into her red Ford.
Yuan Pei and other onlookers ran onto the overpass.
This section of the overpass is closed at this time, making it a great spot to watch street racing.
Yuan Pei clenched his fists tightly, his heart pounding in his throat.
He was afraid that Jiangning would lose.
After all, it was on an unfamiliar track, and he wasn't driving a car that he had personally tuned.
Jiang Ning stepped forward this time entirely for his sake.
If Jiang Ning loses, wouldn't Lin Wanrong take away even the shares he holds?
Yuan Pei grew angrier with himself the more he thought about it.
Tell him to speak recklessly, saying that you can ask him to do anything.
Yuan Pei tapped his head.
He never imagined that Lin Wanrong would ask to give up her shares.
Yuan Pei looked down and his gaze fell on the red Ford.
As an adopted daughter of the Lin family, Lin Wanrong has quite a lot of ambition and appetite.
With both cars ready, the referee waved his hand, and the two cars shot off like arrows.
The onlookers were all waiting to see Jiang Ning make a fool of himself.
Especially at the very beginning, Lin Wanrong's red Ford instantly left Jiang Ning's silver-gray Ferrari behind.
However, not long after the onlookers started jeering, at the first bend, when Lin Wanrong stepped on the brakes to slow down, Jiang Ning's silver-gray Ferrari suddenly accelerated.
"Is she crazy?"
"Could that woman be trying to commit suicide?"
"She's bound to crash into the guardrail and overturn if she keeps going like that. Get ready to call an ambulance!"
Not only did the onlookers say so, but Yuan Pei also felt that Jiang Ning's actions were too reckless.
However, just when everyone thought Jiang Ning would have a car accident, Jiang Ning suddenly pulled the handbrake, and the silver-gray Ferrari drifted beautifully like a shark swimming in a sea of neon lights, hugging the guardrail tightly as it passed the first bend with an excessively extreme and perfect posture, and overtook Lin Wanrong's red Ford.
There was a three-second silence on the overpass.
Suddenly, an explosive cheer engulfed everyone.
Yuan Pei was dumbfounded.
After taking the lead, the silver-gray Ferrari gave the red Ford no chance and kept it in the lead.
The second bend, the third bend, the fourth bend...
The continuous cornering caused the red Ford to fall further and further behind.
However, during the final straight-line acceleration phase, Lin Wanrong gave it her all, and the red Ford surged towards the finish line like a raging fire.
The silver-gray Ferrari speeding ahead of it was like an elegant gentleman, remaining calm and composed despite the approaching flames.
Two contrasting colors, one cool and one warm, crossed the finish line in the blink of an eye.
With a difference of half a car length, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
All of Lin Wanrong's fans were stunned.
This is the first time Lin Wanrong has lost since she started participating in racing.
They still lost so miserably.
Yuan Pei excitedly ran to Jiang Ning's side, handed her a tissue, and acted like a younger brother serving his older sister.
Jiang Ning took the tissue and thanked him.
Actually, she wasn't sweating at all.
At this moment, Lin Wanrong also got out of the car and slammed the car door shut.
"You're really lucky to have borrowed a good car."
