Chapter 5: A Broken Car is Cool



Du Yuqi got in the car and finally started the Wuling Hongguang with a "click, click, click" sound. The black smoke from the exhaust pipe barely blackened the BMW I8 following behind. Then someone came over to confirm the route and explained the precautions, such as not being allowed to deviate from the main route by more than 50 meters, otherwise they would automatically admit defeat.

When Du Yuqi saw that the route they planned was quite standard and they were not trying to take advantage of him, he nodded in agreement. He also made a request that the bet between both parties be put in writing and everyone must put their fingerprints on it, in order to prevent the other party from cheating after losing.

After hearing this, the bunch of playboys were filled with rage and shouted that they would never lose. However, under Du Yuqi's insistence, everyone had no choice but to press their fingerprints obediently. Then 321 announced the start of the game.

Although Du Yuqi was intentionally delaying time, these rich second-generations were not stupid and would also use their time to do something. It was the rush hour after work and they were unable to close the ring road to facilitate their own racing. However, the martial arts hall was within the Second Ring Road and it would take about eight kilometers to get to the ring road, and there were eleven traffic lights along this distance.

Du Yuqi was calling for the contract to be signed, and the bodyguards of the rich second generation were not idle either. They went straight to the front to block the road. By the time the two sides started, they had already blocked a three-kilometer straight road! Therefore, when the race started, Du Yuqi was still slowly starting and shifting into third gear, and a group of high-powered sports cars were already roaring with their engines, and they rushed out along the straight road blocked by the bodyguards!

However, Du Yuqi didn't care much about this situation, but continued to drive his old car slowly, because this situation was what he had expected from the beginning. Just kidding, this Wuling Hongguang with 280,000 kilometers can only be worth tens of thousands of yuan at most, and the cheapest car of this group of playboys starts at 1.4 million, not including the cost of modification. It would be really unfair if they couldn't even get a starting point with such a 140-fold price difference.

However, after 20 seconds, Du Yuqi successfully accelerated the car to over 140 kilometers per hour. On the urban road of the Second Ring Road, this was already a very astonishing data. The straight road cleared by the bodyguards came to an end in an instant. Du Yuqi saw the traffic waiting for the traffic lights in front from a distance. A group of rich second-generations had already driven their sports cars directly to the non-motorized vehicle lane next to them to take a shortcut, or directly drove in the opposite lane in the opposite direction, causing a group of passers-by to panic.

When faced with such a situation, Du Yuqi would not just obey the traffic rules. He did something even more outrageous. He turned the steering wheel and drove onto the sidewalk next to him, while maintaining a speed of over 100 yards. He then honked the horn loudly and shouted that the brakes had failed.

If it were someone else, driving on the sidewalk at a speed of 100 miles per hour would easily result in a tragedy in minutes. However, for Du Yuqi, whose reaction speed far exceeded that of ordinary people, he could always predict the correct path in advance and force his way through. So wherever he passed, many fruit stalls and newsstands suffered. Of course, there were also many people left behind who were still in shock and cursing, but no one was even slightly scratched.

After passing three traffic lights in succession, Du Yuqi had already driven to the front. After running over a green belt with a clanging sound, he shakily passed Mr. Wu who was driving a Lamborghini Sixth Element. He also shook the back of the car in a very sexy way, drifted, spewed out a cloud of black smoke, and drove away, which made these rich second-generations' eyes almost spit fire.

Fortunately, there were still some people among them who were able to remain calm, and they said in a deep voice in the communication channel:

"It doesn't matter. This little van (actually an MPV) has certain advantages when driving in a place like this. But after the first three kilometers, we will get on the ring road. At that time, we only need to use half of our car's performance to beat it in seconds!"

But, how could a guy like Du Yuqi, who plans before taking action, not know what these rich second-generations knew?

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly did a tailspin. The tires of the tattered Wuling Hongguang left two scratches on the ground, which were more than ten meters long. He narrowly avoided a cement tanker truck, and then ran a red light and passed the traffic light intersection ahead smoothly!

"Haha, do you think you can catch up with me by getting on the beltway? How naive!"

Then, Du Yuqi quickly shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The whole body of the old car made a teeth-grinding squeak, then began to accelerate tremblingly, and the needle on the speedometer began to climb slowly and steadily... 90 kilometers, 100 kilometers, 130 kilometers... and finally stopped at 170 kilometers per hour!

"Luckily you just had a 280-yuan health check a few days ago, oh, no, a health check, otherwise you wouldn't dare to drive at this speed." Du Yuqi said with emotion. "But if you go faster, I can keep up, I'm afraid your engine oil will run out."

Then, he maintained this speed and drove recklessly on the ring road during the evening rush hour!

Mr. Wu, who was driving a Lamborghini Sixth Element, followed Du Yuqi onto the ring road. He fully expected that once on the ring road, he would be able to beat the opponent with the high performance of his vehicle. However, he then saw the shabby Wuling Hongguang in front of him spewing black smoke and starting to speed up, then it started to weave in and out of the traffic ahead like crazy.

Naturally, Young Master Wu was unwilling to accept this. The top speed of his car was 420 kilometers per hour, which exceeded the take-off speed of an airplane. Even some helicopters could not compare with it. Logically speaking, with the performance of his Lamborghini Sixth Element, it should have been a piece of cake to catch up with the Wuling Hongguang in front that was speeding at 170 kilometers per hour.

However, this is not a racetrack! This is a crowded expressway around the city. Let alone 170 kilometers per hour, even if it is over 150 kilometers per hour, the requirements for the driver are very high!

Even if the speed is 100 kilometers per hour, it is equivalent to 27.8 meters per second. If there is one second from the time you realize you need to brake, step on the brakes, and the vehicle starts braking, 30 meters will have passed. What's more, at a speed of 170 kilometers per hour, there are large and small cars everywhere around, and these large and small cars will constantly slow down and accelerate, change lanes!

Young Master Wu followed Du Yuqi at the same speed for less than three minutes. His forehead was covered with cold sweat and his breathing was very rapid. When he saw the Wuling Hongguang in front of him twisting its hips extremely and brushing against the edge of a large truck at a distance of less than ten centimeters, his psychological defenses finally collapsed completely and he could not help but step on the brakes.

Because the gap was so narrow that the Wuling Hongguang could pass through, the body of his Sixth Element was nearly 40 centimeters wider. If the car passed through, it would be knocked away! And if it hit a truck at this speed, let alone a Lamborghini Sixth Element, even a tank would be useless, and the people inside would be killed!

"Mad man, this guy is a complete lunatic! But do you think you can win like this?" Young Master Wu said to himself with cold sweat on his forehead.

Immediately, a ruthless look appeared on his face. He turned on his hazard lights, pulled over to the emergency lane, and made a phone call:

"Hello, is this Heiwa? Didn't you say last time that there is a Erhuan Shisanlang here? Give me his contact information immediately..."

Forty minutes later, Han Dong, driving a Nissan GTR, returned to the small street where the Liang family martial arts gym was located. After getting out of the car, he undoubtedly had a gloomy face, and looked at the bastard not far away with complicated eyes.

At this time, Du Yuqi was already slurping a bowl of hot and sour noodles from a street stall in a very ungraceful manner. There was only soup left in his bowl, which meant that Du Yuqi arrived at least earlier than the time it takes to "cook a bowl of hot and sour noodles" + "eat up the bowl of hot and sour noodles". In other words, he arrived at least eight minutes earlier.

Behind Du Yuqi, the broken Wuling Hongguang, which made noises everywhere except the horn, was parked quietly. The hood of the car was taken off and placed casually next to the trash can. You can see that the water tank inside is still steaming, which is probably suitable for making a cup of tea. The tires of this broken car also emit a strong burnt smell, and the brake pads probably need to be replaced.

Seeing the third brother Han Dong looking over here, Du Yuqi was a little surprised and said:

"Oh, you're here first. I thought it was the Sixth Element."

Then Du Yuqi raised the disposable noodle bucket in his hand and said with a smile:

"Would you like a bowl? Grandma Wu's hot and sour rice noodles have been sold for 21 years. I guarantee you'll want to come back for more after you eat it."

Han Dong snorted coldly and turned his head away. At this moment, he unconsciously restrained himself a lot in front of Du Yuqi. Because he was a car enthusiast, he knew very well what it meant that Du Yuqi beat him by eight minutes in the previous game. If it was someone else, even if they were driving a GTR, he would be convinced. What's more, Du Yuqi was driving a broken car like Wuling Hongguang that was on the verge of being scrapped!

It’s still the old saying: “People with ability will be respected wherever they are.”

After a while, two more cars drove over slowly. The two rich second-generations who got out of them were also unhappy and cursing. They kicked their own cars a few times. When they looked at Du Yuqi, their eyes were the same as Han Dong's, and they were quite complicated.
