Chapter 362 The Brakes Have Been Tampered With
It drizzled over the weekend.
By evening, the rain had become so heavy that it would impair visibility.
Street racing wasn't originally a formal racing competition; it was organized by amateur racers themselves.
However, Lin Wanrong issued the challenge to Jiang Ning directly on the racing app, and many people rushed over upon hearing the news.
In City A, Tianquan Street is the only venue where street racing is permitted after 11 p.m.
The street racing app even sent employees over specifically for this purpose.
They even hired professional referees and negotiated sponsorship, with the sponsor providing two identical race cars for Lin Wanrong and Jiang Ning.
"But isn't this rain too heavy?"
"Yeah! With such terrible weather, the competition could be dangerous, right?"
Some onlookers were holding umbrellas, while others were wearing raincoats, and they were all discussing the matter.
Among these people, Yuan Pei was naturally included.
Lu Junyan, Bai Yichen, and Gu Lanlan were also there.
"I had no idea that Aning was a racing goddess! Did you know before?" Gu Lanlan turned to ask Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen shook his head.
He caught a glimpse of Lu Junyan standing beside him, holding a black umbrella.
Lu Junyan's handsome face did not show much change in expression.
It's clear that Lu Junyan already knew that Lin Chu, the racing goddess from Country A, was Jiang Ning.
Bai Yichen frowned, feeling displeased.
He originally thought he knew Jiangning better than Lu Junyan.
However, he genuinely had no idea that Jiang Ning could drive race cars, and was even a racing goddess.
Gu Lanlan suddenly called him a couple of days ago, saying that a friend of her former colleague was into racing and saw a challenge letter on an app. The bet stated that if Lin Chu lost, he would have to give up the patent for the seamless fully hidden inlay technology.
Basically, anyone who isn't completely ignorant about fashion and jewelry knows that the curved seamless fully hidden setting technique is the patent of BYC master, also known as Jiang Ning.
Gu Lanlan and Bai Yichen analyzed the situation for a long time, and finally, while having dinner with Jiang Ning, they directly asked Jiang Ning himself and received a positive answer.
Jiangning is Lin Chu.
That's why Gu Lanlan and Bai Yichen came to watch Jiang Ning and Lin Wanrong's street race.
"The rain is getting heavier... Is it really necessary for Aning to have a match today?"
Gu Lanlan asked Bai Yichen with a worried expression.
Bai Yichen shook his head, also looking worried.
"I don't know either……"
His gaze fell on Jiang Ning in front of him.
Under the pitch-black rainy night, Jiang Ning wore a pure black tight-fitting racing suit, which was not as eye-catching as Lin Wanrong's bright red racing suit next to him, but gave people a calm and cool impression.
Bai Yichen felt his chest churning.
He wasn't just worried about whether Jiang Ning would be in danger playing in this kind of weather.
At the same time, he was also looking forward to it.
He couldn't wait to see Jiang Ning compete against Lin Wanrong on the racetrack.
"Hey Lu, you can't drive in this kind of weather, can you?"
Wearing a raincoat, Yuan Pei crawled under Lu Junyan's umbrella.
"Don't you know more about racing than I do?"
Lu Junyan glanced at Yuan Pei and asked in return.
"This isn't a matter of understanding or not, is it? Why don't you go and persuade Jiang Ning to cancel the competition today?"
As Lu Junyan listened to Yuan Pei's words, his gaze fell on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning stood next to the white Golf provided by the sponsor, his black racing suit contrasting sharply with the white car.
Although he didn't want Jiang Ning to take any risks, he understood Jiang Ning.
As long as Lin Wanrong insists on competing, Jiang Ning will never back down.
"Brother Lu..."
Seeing that Lu Junyan did not try to stop him, Yuan Pei could not help himself and rushed to Jiang Ning.
"Stop competing, this awful weather could kill someone."
"yes!"
Before Jiang Ning could speak, Lin Wanrong walked over.
She was accompanied by someone who held an umbrella for her.
This person surprised Jiang Ning.
"Attorney Wang..."
Jiang Ning greeted Wang Jun.
"Ms. Jiang."
Wang Jun nodded to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning never expected that Wang Jun, who was Lin Jingcheng's chief lawyer, would become like Lin Wanrong's personal assistant after Lin Jingcheng's death.
"If you're scared, then don't compete. It's better to just admit defeat."
"How dare you talk like that! Don't forget you once lost to Jiang Ning."
Yuan Pei's retort made Lin Wanrong's expression change.
But soon, she smiled again.
"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war... Or is it that the racing goddess I once beat me is too afraid to compete against me again?"
"you……"
Jiang Ning tugged at Yuan Pei's sleeve.
“Yuan Pei, I know you care about me, but I have no choice but to participate in this match.”
Jiang Ning looked at Lin Wanrong, his calm eyes revealing unhurried confidence.
This kind of confidence is different from Lin Wanrong's determination to win.
"That's right..."
Lin Wanrong stepped forward, getting closer to Jiang Ning, her eyes burning with an unwavering determination.
"I will defeat you on your turf... and rightfully, to avenge the previous defeat."
Facing the menacing Lin Wanrong, Jiang Ning smiled sweetly.
"When you say 'before'... do you mean when you lost to me in a race in your home base, or when you went into the jewelry industry and lost everything?"
"you!"
Lin Wanrong was so angry with Jiang Ning that she gritted her teeth.
"Let's see how long you can be so smug."
After uttering those words harshly, Lin Wanrong returned to her race car.
At this point, the staff of the street racing app suggested that Lin Wanrong reduce the originally planned track to one curve and one straight, otherwise the regulators would not approve the street racing event.
Ultimately, the street race on that rainy night was not canceled, but instead changed to a combination of small curves and long straights, as per regulations.
Jiang Ning had no objections.
Before getting into the car, she heard Gu Lanlan cheering her on.
"Go, Aning! You'll definitely win!"
Jiang Ning turned his head and gave Gu Lanlan and Bai Yichen a big smile.
As she looked away, she inadvertently caught sight of Lu Junyan standing among the onlookers.
Jiang Ning raised her eyelids slightly, unaware that Lu Junyan had also arrived.
Their eyes met, and she saw Lu Junyan raise the corners of his lips.
Even though Lu Junyan didn't say anything, his smile seemed to tell her that he was convinced she would never lose.
Jiang Ning smiled too.
But she only smiled when she turned her back to Lu Junyan.
She wasn't showing that smile to anyone.
This shows that she is confident in her driving skills.
The referee gave the whistle, and the match began.
Two identical white Golfs sped off, like two bolts of lightning in the downpour.
The key to the first contest is the bend.
Drifting through corners has always been Jiangning's forte.
Yuan Pei wasn't worried at all.
However, this time when cornering, Jiangning's car didn't have its rear wing pressed tightly against the guardrail like before, and its cornering limit was beautiful.
"What happened?" Yuan Pei wiped the rain off his face.
Beside him, Lu Junyan frowned and suddenly turned around.
Jiangning took the lead at the first bend.
However, Lin Wanrong wasn't worried, because she believed that Jiang Ning had already figured it out when they reached the first bend—
The brakes on her car had been tampered with.
As long as Jiang Ning doesn't want to die, she absolutely won't dare to accelerate on the straightaways ahead.
In that case, she won.
