Chapter 251: Chapter 31 See You at the Competition Field
"Are you really coming over?" Su San hesitated for a moment. "Korte is not easy to deal with, he’s cunning, merciless, and ruthless. I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle him. Besides, is it convenient for you to come out?"
"As long as you guarantee that I can compete on behalf of Lu Xi as his apprentice, that’s enough." Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze was coldly fixed on the computer, waiting for Su San’s answer.
About ten minutes of silence passed on the other side of the computer before Su San finally sent a message: "Because of Lu Xi’s widespread reputation, the organizers of the competition have agreed to let the apprentice continue in place of the master."
"Then get ready! I’m leaving for Texas right now." Without a second thought, Gu Xiaoxi shut down the computer.
She immediately called Liu Yishou.
But no one answered on the other end, and then he hung up the phone.
Although Su San mentioned Liu Yishou was also injured, it probably wasn’t too serious, otherwise he would have told her.
The most important thing now was Lu Xi, whose life or death was uncertain, lying unconscious in the hospital.
That had to be her main focus.
Now that Quan Shaoqing wasn’t here, she didn’t need his approval.
Gu Xiaoxi packed up and hurried down the stairs.
Lin Shu was tidying the living room. Seeing Gu Xiaoxi come downstairs in neat jeans and T-shirt, with a packed bag on her back, Lin Shu asked curiously, "It’s so late, where are you going?"
"Aunt Lin, I need to take a three-day leave right now. If Young Master Quan comes back, tell him I’ll return in three days. I need to borrow your car now," Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward with a serious tone, carrying her bag.
"Weren’t you supposed to be training Xiao Xiao lately? At the beginning of next month, our headquarters has a competition. If we lose, we can’t enter the world championship." Lin Shu, seeing her nervous appearance and not knowing what had happened, felt anxious as well.
"Xiao Xiao will be fine. Help me train it for the next few days, take it for more runs. Aunt Lin, a family emergency has come up. I must leave for a few days," Gu Xiaoxi explained patiently.
Lin Shu sighed, took out the car keys from her pocket, and handed them to Gu Xiaoxi.
Taking the car keys, Gu Xiaoxi walked to the kennel at the door, looked at Xiao Xiao, and instructed, "I have to go out for something. Be good at home. Aunt Lin will take care of you until I’m back."
With that, she stood up and strode toward the car.
Xiao Xiao watched as Gu Xiaoxi hurried away, jumping up and down in the cage, barking constantly, obviously wanting to go with Gu Xiaoxi.
This time, Gu Xiaoxi left the house in an androgynous outfit, wearing a linen-colored wig and a jacket.
The weather in Texas was slightly cold, and the heavy clothing wrapped around her slender figure actually made her look more sturdy. She slightly touched up her features with foundation, making her face appear more profound and added a more three-dimensional aspect to it.
At this point, if you saw her, you definitely wouldn’t mistake her for a girl.
With her inherently aloof temperament, the jacket made her seem like a noble young master, emanating a cold and distant aura that kept strangers at bay.
In the Texan airport, the morning sunlight fell on the ’man’ standing at the terminal, exuding an intimidating presence that was hard to look at directly. She wore sunglasses, her complexion was fair, and her skin was smooth and silky, with hardly a pore in sight. Though not very tall, her presence was commanding.
This was the first time Su San had seen Gu Xiaoxi, and he was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped.
"Xiao Xi?" Su San, over forty and sporting a stylish stubble, dressed in a black trench coat and a tall figure, had parked the car where Gu Xiaoxi had directed and still couldn’t believe that the person in front of him was Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi raised her hand in greeting, walked forward, opened the car door, and sat in the back seat. Only then did she remove her sunglasses and said to Su San, "Drive, Uncle, and you can admire me later when we get there."
"Pfft!" Su San, having realized what she meant, nearly burst out laughing. "You sure are confident. Which eye of yours saw me admiring you?"
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t take it to heart and turned her head to look at the street outside.
The car slowly started up and merged into the flow of traffic. Gu Xiaoxi then narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I saw your expression was full of admiration. Don’t deny it."
"Alright!" Su San hadn’t expected Gu Xiaoxi, this lass, to be more likable in person than online. Not only was she pretty, but the way she could drop everything and rush here to avenge Lu Xi impressed him.
It’s enough to show that she’s a girl who values loyalty and friendship, worthy of affection.
"Now tell me about the racing situation and where Korte and Ye Ming are staying. You must keep my participation a secret; I must catch them off guard." Gu Xiaoxi put on her sunglasses again. Since she was here, naturally, she wanted to make a big splash, win the golden cup, and then go see Lu Xi.
She would make him regret no longer wanting her as his disciple.
"There are currently 67 world-class racers left in the final competition. They all live in hotels near the venue. The final race will run along Texas’s most dangerous cliffs on Songshan Highway, to Beihai Coastal Racetrack, and finally, to the artificially constructed high-difficulty stunt track. The whole course is thirty kilometers long. We use a group start, and the first to reach the finish line is the winner. In the meantime, any accidents or casualties are no one’s responsibility," Su San said gravely.
Behind her sunglasses, Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes flashed. It truly was a melee!
"How long until the race? Is the car ready? I want to test it out first!" Gu Xiaoxi asked calmly.
Su San sped up the car, "The race car is a spare prepared by Lu Xi in advance—the ’Dragon’, a car that’s not considered bad, but definitely not the best either."
Since it was a spare, naturally it wasn’t as good as the one Su San had driven before, which had been in an accident.
"Has it been thoroughly inspected? I don’t want any more incidents of someone tampering with the car."
"It has been checked. Don’t worry, everything is in order."
Satisfied, Gu Xiaoxi nodded, pulled a mobile phone from her pocket, and then connected to the Texas area network.
The local network was all about the car racing event.
She also found the video of Lu Xi’s accident.
On the surface, it did seem accidental. The car lost control, somersaulted six times, and finally crashed into some rocks. The driver suffered severe injuries on the spot. Had it not been for the quality of the car and its protective measures, Lu Xi would have been dead, shattered to pieces on impact.
She also searched for someone named Korte.
A towering, bull-like man with golden hair and blue eyes, his arms muscled like stone, his body covered in tattoos, with a fierce gaze, and a bloodthirsty appearance.
As for Ye Ming.
She found no information on him.
"Tell me who Ye Ming is?" Recognizing Korte and putting away her phone, Gu Xiaoxi looked up at Su San, who was driving earnestly.
"He has a very good relationship with Lu Xi. He’s not a racer, but a car modification expert that moved to Texas in his early years. He’s a car enthusiast but not skilled enough. After an accident during a race, he didn’t dare to compete anymore. Lu Xi’s cars for every race have all been checked and modified by him. The two of them can be said to be the best of friends and partners," Su San said angrily, disgusted by the betrayal of a friend for money.
Lu Xi’s lifetime of glory had been ruined by his own hands; his reputation destroyed.
Su San narrowed his eyes, a chill emanating from him. Ye Ming deserved to die! Once Lu Xi’s problem was resolved, they would catch him and make him pay the price of betrayal.
Gu Xiaoxi looked out the window.
The weather in Texas was good, crisp in autumn. The streets were bustling, but there weren’t many young people, mostly the elderly and children a few years old. Racing propaganda could be seen everywhere.
"The finals will start in four hours. There will be spectators around the racetrack, so all the young people are now scrambling for the best spots to watch. The Texas Gold Cup Race is world-renowned, attracting many viewers from abroad. You could say this is a globally watched grand event; there will be a live broadcast through the local entertainment channel. Anyone who loves racing will be watching," he said.
Su San’s car turned and drove into a huge car repair shop, finally stopping at the entrance.
Gu Xiaoxi took off her sunglasses and slipped them into her jacket pocket, then pushed open the car door and got out.
Before her stood a race car with white and blue stripes, fresh paint, and striking colors. Classic in design, it seemed like a new car. But Gu Xiaoxi knew that Lu Xi must have driven this car for several years.
The power and features couldn’t match the current top-of-the-line race cars, but it was definitely durable. The engine, after long-term wear, had parts that fit together perfectly. Lu Xi’s spare car certainly wouldn’t be bad.
After circling the car, Gu Xiaoxi turned to Su San, "Send me the race course location. I’m going to test the car first. Take care of everything afterwards. I’ll see you at the racetrack in four hours!"
With that, she opened the car door and then sat down in the cockpit.
