Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Street Racing

"Are you gonna scram or not? If you don’t scram now, I won’t be so polite anymore," Li Yifei furrowed his brow, not wanting to tangle with such a spoiled young master. People like them, even a hundred more, wouldn’t concern him, but the people they could bring, that’s more troublesome. It would be fine if it were just Li Yifei alone, but he had Xu Shanshan with him, and what mattered most was that if Xu Yingying found out they had fought, she would definitely blame him."

Li Yifei’s imposing attitude scared the four guys into leaving a few harsh words behind as they ran out of the restaurant.

Li Yifei threw five hundred yuan to the owner, then pulled Xu Shanshan and headed out.

Following Li Yifei out without saying much, Xu Shanshan only spoke after getting into his car, "Brother-in-law, we should hurry up and leave. Those guys seem troublesome, and it would be a hassle if they bring more people."

"You were quite fierce just now. Why are you scared now?" Li Yifei joked as he drove the car out of the yard.

Xu Shanshan tilted her head to look at Li Yifei and said with a grin, "If they brought some street punks or something, it wouldn’t matter, but if they bring in people from the police station and I get arrested, that would be more troublesome."

"You sure know a lot, don’t you?"

"I’m not a child. How could I not understand these things? Those rich and powerful people love to bully others, and the police station and Public Security Bureau will speak for them. If we get arrested, even if sister eventually bails us out, we would still suffer."

Li Yifei said with a chuckle, "Then let’s make a quick getaway."

The two drove along the highway toward the city center, but less than five minutes into their drive, a Ferrari and a Porsche chased after them from behind. The roar of their powerful engines was ear-piercing, and soon they were very close to them.

"This is bad, brother-in-law, they’re catching up," Xu Shanshan suddenly exclaimed, looking back worryingly.

Li Yifei was calm and asked, "How about we play something exciting?"

"Really? How do we play?" Xu Shanshan wasn’t surprised, but instead looked excited.

"Fasten your seatbelt then. I’ll take you for some car racing," Li Yifei said nonchalantly.

"Racing? Awesome! That’s thrilling!" Xu Shanshan fastened her seatbelt swiftly. Holding the handrail tightly with one hand, she then quickly said, "Brother-in-law, we are in a Buick, racing against their Ferrari and Porsche. Can we win?"

Li Yifei narrowed his eyes and answered, "We are not racing them on a track; this is a highway. They can’t maximize the speed of their cars here. In the end, it’s all about driving skills."

Xu Shanshan’s eyes shone brightly, "Brother-in-law, you’re so cool. You can even race cars. Hurry up; they’re almost catching up."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, "Then hold tight, I’m going to speed up." With those words, Li Yifei stomped on the accelerator, and the Buick car shot forward suddenly. The sudden burst of speed pinned Xu Shanshan to her seat.

However, Xu Shanshan shouted excitedly at the sudden burst of speed. Being a lively and active girl, she always enjoyed thrilling and adventurous activities. She had long been fascinated by racing but never had the opportunity to try it. Today, she finally had the chance to indulge completely.

Li Yifei’s Buick, a luxurious business vehicle, is quite comfortable, but his driving is only average. It’s sufficient for driving Xu Yingying, the boss, around, but for racing against others, it’s definitely not fast enough.

At that moment, Qin Shaodong gripped the steering wheel tightly. Seeing Li Yifei’s Buick pick up speed, a cold smile crept onto his face, "Damn it, a crap Buick daring to race with me, seeking death." He floored the accelerator, and his Ferrari shot forward like an arrow, closing the gap with Li Yifei’s Buick in an instant.

"Brother-in-law, his car is catching up," Xu Shanshan turned to look back and saw the Ferrari was now less than a hundred meters away, and the Porsche was closely following. She screamed.

Li Yifei smiled faintly, "Watch and learn; today you’ll witness your brother-in-law’s driving skills." With a sharp turn of the steering wheel, he overtook a large truck, then quickly merged into the right lane, drawing a graceful arc without hesitation or delay.

After passing a car from the opposite direction, Li Yifei’s car swiftly overtook two more cars and then once again merged into the right lane.

Xu Shanshan, a driver herself with her own car, understood well enough that, although Li Yifei’s overtaking seemed simple, it required precise control over speed and direction. Even a slight deviation could have resulted in a collision with the vehicles in the left lane.

The road was not wide, having only two lanes, making overtaking possible only when there was no oncoming traffic. However, there were quite many cars on the road, so overtaking was not at all easy. With his adept driving skills, Li Yifei’s Buick weaved through traffic like an eel, surpassing one car after another.

The Ferrari and Porsche, with their superior speed and acceleration that the Buick could never match, made Qin Shaodong and his three friends, who were car enthusiasts and liked to drive fast, assume that catching up with Li Yifei would be child’s play. But on this kind of road, they couldn’t exhibit the same proficiency as Li Yifei. No matter how hard they tried, they just couldn’t catch up with Li Yifei, who was pulling farther and farther ahead.

"Fuck!" Qin Shaodong couldn’t help but curse out loud, driving a Ferrari and still losing to a Buick, this was truly humiliating, even more embarrassing than when Li Yifei beat them up.

And just now, in his urgency, he almost crashed into an oncoming car while overtaking, but luckily he got back into the proper lane in time, avoiding an accident.

Xu Shanshan was a bit nervous at first, but after a while, when the other car still hadn’t caught up, and although Li Yifei’s car was driving fast and seemed dangerous, the thrill of it made her more and more excited. Now, she no longer clutched at the handle but started waving her hands and feet, shouting with glee.

"Brother-in-law, how are you so amazing at driving?" Not seeing Qin Shaodong and their cars anymore, Xu Shanshan curiously asked Li Yifei.

Li Yifei smiled, "I’m a retired soldier; I practiced driving in the army."

"My dad is also a retired soldier, and he still can’t drive. What kind of unit were you in that’s so incredible?"

"It wasn’t any special unit, just that I liked to drive while in the army, and one leader there really appreciated me, so he let me practice driving. One thing led to another, and I picked up some skills."

Xu Shanshan said admiringly, "Brother-in-law, your skills are so amazing, I feel like you’re comparable to a professional racer."

Li Yifei laughed, "That’s far from true; my level isn’t even up to an amateur, but it’s no problem handling those spoiled brats just now."

The two of them chatted and laughed, and the car kept speeding just as before. Suddenly, the road widened, with four lanes on each side, and although there were still many cars, driving became much easier.

Seeing such a road, Xu Shanshan pursed her lips and looked at Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, on a road like this, can they still not catch up to us?"

Li Yifei replied indifferently, "They can’t catch up, watch how I make them eat my dust."

Xu Shanshan, looking at Li Yifei’s calm but strong confidence, couldn’t help but keep her eyes on him.

"What’s up?" Li Yifei, focused on driving, could still feel Xu Shanshan’s gaze on him was a bit unusual.

Xu Shanshan grinned and said, "Nothing, I was just wondering what else you can do."

"I can do a lot, too many to think of all at once. It’s only when there’s a need that I can remember."

Xu Shanshan chuckled, "Yes, I just realized another one."

"What did you realize now?"

"I just realized that brother-in-law, you’ve got a pretty thick skin too."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter, and Xu Shanshan was also giggling happily.

By this time, Qin Shaodong and the others had also reached this wide road, which made Qin Shaodong ecstatic. On such a road, they could truly show off the capabilities of their two cars. With a push on the gas pedal, the two cars accelerated to over twenty miles in an instant, and in less than five minutes, they could see Li Yifei’s car once again.

Xu Shanshan had been watching behind all the time, and now she immediately exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, they’re catching up!" The excitement in her voice was indescribable; she really wanted to see how Li Yifei would compete with a Ferrari and Porsche on a road like this.

Li Yifei’s mouth twitched slightly; it had been months since he had returned to the city and he hadn’t done anything like this again. Today was a good day to play along with these kids.

He pressed the gas pedal, and Li Yifei’s spirit also focused. To Xu Shanshan, it felt like Li Yifei became one with the car at that moment; the car was Li Yifei, and Li Yifei was the car, it was a wonderful feeling that she couldn’t quite pinpoint the origin of.

The Buick’s engine roared powerfully, and the speed quickly reached over twenty.

"Fuck, this guy is driving the Buick so fast, isn’t he afraid of breaking the car apart?" Qin Shaodong cursed, feeling that Li Yifei was being really foolish. Their cars could speed up even more without issue, but a Buick like this was almost at its limit; wanting to go faster would practically mean flying.

"Kid, watch how I deal with you." Qin Shaodong sneered, and the car sped up once again, getting closer and closer to Li Yifei’s car.
