"That's right! Although the Xiao family is powerful, the more powerful they are, the more enemies they have. At that time, the eldest young master was extremely angry, and it just so happened that the underground racing king competition was coming up. He proposed to participate in the competition with Mu Sheng and agreed to divide the new territory based on the results... You can imagine, the underground racing king competition is not a simple speed contest. It's basically a life-or-death struggle!"
Bai Shu had vaguely heard that the battles in the secret passages mostly involved human lives as the stakes, and nowadays gunfights would occasionally break out overseas. Although everyone is more civilized now, their bloodthirstiness remains unchanged.
When they fight, they have all sorts of methods—beast fighting, underground boxing, racing, gunfights… Behind every match, there are often countless lives lost and hundreds of billions of dollars in business.
She couldn't help but ask, "So you all agree?"
"No! How could we! Everyone refused, fearing that Young Master was also in danger, but he insisted on going, even pulling out his gun to force us to back off! The track was a mountain cliff with dozens of bends, right next to a precipice. Driving even a meter too far would have meant falling into an abyss! But in the end—"
A flicker of fear and excitement flashed in Xiao Shisan's eyes as he recalled the events:
"Young Master Mu forced Mu Sheng to crash and beg for mercy, breaking Mu Sheng's arm in the process! In racing, life and death are determined by fate, and everyone in the underworld is watching! If you win, you win; if you lose, you have to admit defeat even if you die. There's no room for reneging. The Mu family had no choice but to give back everything they had taken! From then on, Young Master Mu became famous overnight!"
Bai Shu's heart skipped a beat. Half of her felt honored for Xiao Lingchen, the other half was filled with worry and fear. She asked urgently, "How is he? Is he injured? This kind of competition can actually kill someone? Will he ever be able to compete again? It's too dangerous!"
Xiao Shisan chuckled and said, "No, don't worry! Who is Young Master? How could he possibly get injured? Back then, among all the racers, who wouldn't acknowledge that Young Master was the undisputed champion?! Now, Young Master is busy with work and hasn't raced for many years."
Bai Shu felt relieved and smiled sheepishly.
Xiao Shisan waved his hand and laughed, "This birthday banquet is being held at the villa on the hillside. There just so happens that a racetrack has been built on the hilltop. It was originally intended to help the younger generation who are attending the banquet relax when they are bored. You can have the young master drive you around for a bit and have a spin."
Bai Zhu nodded thoughtfully in agreement.
Xiao Shisan didn't stay long; he had many things to do. He only came over to explain after hearing Bai Shu's words, and left again shortly afterward.
Curious, Bai Shu's deskmate dragged her to the racetrack that Xiao Shisan had mentioned. Sure enough, people still remembered Xiao Lingchen's youthful passion for racing. Many impressive sports cars were speeding along the track, and the crowds were bustling with noise.
A black, imposing sports car occupied the center of the lane, surrounded by a crowd. Through the car window, one could vaguely see a young man with an arrogant smile, holding a cigarette in one hand and his arm around a scantily clad girl in the passenger seat, tilting his head and talking to the people outside.
He looks like a libertine.
My deskmate whispered, "That car looks like a McLaren Speedtail, the latest high-performance supercar this year. My brother loves these things and spends all his time at home reading magazines. I heard that car cost nearly 40 million after tax! People in Beijing say that Young Master Mu Sheng has two great hobbies: luxury cars and beautiful women, and spending money like water. He also loves to compete with others."
Bai Shu was slightly surprised, but her interest in these things only came from Xiao Lingchen, and she quickly satisfied her curiosity after taking a look.
"Everyone has their own hobbies, and they're none of our business. Now that we've finished watching, let's go back."
Bai Shu didn't look back on her way back, so she didn't notice that shortly after she left, the bushes by the roadside stirred and Xiao Qingwan came out from among them.
Moreover, his eyes darted around, heading straight for the man in the car.
