The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 62 - 62 62 Turning the Car Around

62: Chapter 62: Turning the Car Around 62: Chapter 62: Turning the Car Around “Since you’ve agreed, let’s get started, right here is the starting point, first to reach the top of the mountain wins.”

Seeing Xu Yingying nod in agreement, Shao Kai seemed impatient and couldn’t wait to start the race.

Lin Fei was about to head over to Xu Yingying’s Mercedes sports car when Xu Yingying pulled Lin Fei back, her eyes rolling as she challenged Shao Kai across the way, “Your grandmother is still a virgin, and you think a sports car is worth spending a night with me?

I’d be at a loss.”

Lin Fei stumbled forward; Xu Yingying’s words were too aggressive, sometimes making him wonder if this girl was even a high school student.

“What do you want, then?”

Hearing that Xu Yingying was still a virgin, Shao Kai’s gaze burned even hotter, his eyes locked onto Xu Yingying’s partially developed delicate body.

“It’s simple; I’ll race you but add what I lost before to the wager.”

Clearly, Xu Yingying wasn’t someone to be taken advantage of, still thinking about the spending money she had lost.

Although it was just Xu Yingying’s spending money, added to the overdraft limit on the credit card, it totaled over three hundred thousand.

This money represented several months of spending money for Xu Yingying, all lost in one go.

Accustomed to spending freely, the upcoming months promised to be lean for her.

Now, with Lin Fei about to race against Shao Kai, Xu Yingying naturally wanted to win back that money.

“You’re not scared to race, are you?”

Seeing Shao Kai’s unsettled expression, slow to agree, Xu Yingying provocatively used the same tactics on him.

“It’s just money.

I’ll add it to the wager.”

Over three hundred thousand might be enough for several years’ expenses for a typical family, but for a rich second-generation like Shao Kai, it was merely a couple of months’ spending money.

Provoked by Xu Yingying, Shao Kai gritted his teeth and agreed.

Of course, Shao Kai agreed mainly because he felt he had a sure win; Lin Fei stood no chance against him.

“Uncle, you can do it, I’m rooting for you.”

Before Lin Fei got into the car, Xu Yingying waved her fists and blinked her big eyes to cheer him on.

If it weren’t for his knowledge of Xu Yingying’s “fallback,” Lin Fei might have been genuinely touched by the girl’s small gesture.

Now, Lin Fei flicked her forehead with his finger.

Such a young age, yet so cunning, but I like it.

A smile played on Lin Fei’s lips as he took the car keys from Shao Kai and his friends and slid into the Mercedes sports car.

Some might feel that Xu Yingying, a teenager mastering the art of manipulation, might not be a good child.

But Lin Fei didn’t see it that way.

When someone’s done shitting on your neck, worrying about whether it’s manipulative or not is just stupid.

Since the challenge had been thrown down, it didn’t matter how you defeated the opponent, only that you did.

Showing weakness would only encourage further provocation from the adversary.

In some respects, showing weakness equates to condoning the next challenge or violation.

Lin Fei couldn’t be around Xu Yingying twenty-four hours a day to help her solve every problem.

Now, Xu Yingying had figured out a solution for herself, albeit a somewhat sly one.

Nevertheless, this was ultimately all Shao Kai’s scheme to trap Xu Yingying, and Xu Yingying knew how to indirectly win back her sports car.

That in itself was a reflection of wisdom.

Of course, this was in a situation where Xu Yingying was alone; now that Lin Fei was here, naturally, the girl wouldn’t need to employ these sly tactics to reclaim her sports car.

Although Lin Fei hadn’t played with sports cars much or participated in any official racing events, this didn’t mean he couldn’t race.

After all, racing is simply a matter of speed, seeing who can get to the finish line first.

Ultimately, it’s about who drives faster.

Racing certainly has its dangers, but compared with what Lin Fei experienced on the battlefield among Mercenaries abroad, a fierce car race was just another challenge.

A race is a race, indeed dangerous, but if you give up racing, the danger is mostly gone.

However, on a battlefield with Mercenaries, if you drive slowly, you’re likely to face imminent pursuit and killing by the enemy.

That’s racing against life; go too slow and you die, all the while dodging machine-gun bullets and even rocket fire from behind.

Lin Fei’s driving skills were honed on actual missions, in the thick of battle, in the face of life and death!

Drive slowly and face death, but Lin Fei was still alive and well, and his driving prowess was evident.

“I don’t know what Xu Yingying sees in you, but soon, I’m going to show you the gap between us.”

After both cars were parked, Shao Kai turned his head to look at Lin Fei, who was sitting in the Mercedes sports car, a flash of fierceness passing through his eyes.

Lin Fei pulled out a cigarette and lit it for himself, “There’s indeed a gap between us, like age, which is something you’ll never be able to make up for in your lifetime.”

Age was only one aspect, or perhaps the most insignificant one.

Shao Kai would soon deeply feel the gap between them.

To Lin Fei, Shao Kai was just a little brat, and he really didn’t have much interest in schooling him.

It was unnecessary.

His enemies abroad, anyone of them could shake a country with a stomp of their foot.

If his old enemies, or people from Hell’s Judgement Organization knew that Lin Fei was out late at night racing with a high school student, they’d probably laugh their heads off.

However, Lin Fei’s attitude ignited a nameless rage in Shao Kai’s heart.

He saw it as outright disregard.

From a young age, Shao Kai was used to the envious gazes of his peers; Lin Fei’s disregard felt like the best catalyst for the hatred burning in his heart.

Overcome with anger, Shao Kai didn’t wait for Xu Yingying, who was standing in the middle of the road to signal the start, but instead slammed on the gas, and his Ferrari zoomed off.

Lin Fei was surprised, shook his head with a light chuckle, and unintentionally, Shao Kai had stolen the lead.

However, to Lin Fei, this was hardly a concern; he pressed the accelerator, and the Mercedes shot off like an arrow from a bow, disappearing at the foot of Lianpan Mountain in an instant.

“Jerk, shameless, scum, despicable, filthy…”

As the starting signal officer, Xu Yingying cursed Shao Kai for his premature start, hands on her hips.

She threw all the negative words she could think of at Shao Kai, short of cursing his ancestors.

“Uncle, you’re too dumb.”

As she cursed, Xu Yingying turned her scorn on Lin Fei.

She had been worried that Lin Fei would be at a disadvantage because Shao Kai started first, and she had quickly waved her hands to signal him not to start, hoping to call back Shao Kai to restart the race.

But Lin Fei totally ignored her signal and his car followed closely behind, shooting off as well.

Xu Yingying angrily stomped her little foot.

However, upon reflection, with lip gloss on her lips, she curved them into a lovely smile.

In Xu Yingying’s view, with Shao Kai’s head start, Lin Fei was significantly less likely to win.

However, this also provided her a perfect excuse to act unfairly.

If Lin Fei lost, Xu Yingying could reasonably defend her own unfair actions.

Luckily, Lin Fei, who was driving the Mercedes up to the mountaintop, was unaware of Xu Yingying’s cunning plan.

Otherwise, he might have turned around and headed back to the foot of the mountain to give Xu Yingying a piece of his mind.

This little vixen really lacked faith in him.

Although Shao Kai had gotten a head start, it didn’t affect Lin Fei at all.

The performance of Shao Kai’s Ferrari was certainly much better than that of Xu Yingying’s Mercedes.

Therefore, Lin Fei did not overtake Shao Kai immediately, but managed to keep a close trail behind him.

Shao Kai was initially worried that after his premature start, Lin Fei might not start at all and wait for him to drive back and restart the race.

After starting, he regretted it a bit; he was indeed worried that Xu Yingying would use it as an excuse to refuse the race.

But when he heard the engine noise behind him and the lights of the Mercedes approaching, Shao Kai completely relaxed.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Shao Kai sneered and was about to press the gas to shake off Lin Fei.

Before he could shift his gaze back from the rearview mirror, he saw the Mercedes suddenly accelerate at an incredibly odd angle to the inside track of the Ferrari.

“Speed up, don’t make me wait too long at the top.”

After the Mercedes disappeared into the bend ahead, only this phrase echoed in Shao Kai’s ears.

Sneering!

Watching the Ferrari almost crash into the mountain’s protective barrier, Shao Kai quickly stepped on the brakes, averting a deadly disaster.

While the car screeched to a halt, Shao Kai finally came to his senses, but the image of Lin Fei with a cigarette rushing into the bend flickered repeatedly in his mind.

Shao Kai was stunned.

The image of Lin Fei overtaking him, and the words, “don’t make me wait too long at the top,” were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

“How, how is this possible—”

Grasping the steering wheel in a daze, Shao Kai couldn’t comprehend how the situation, which had seemed firmly in his control, could have turned out like this.

To him, Lin Fei, who maybe hadn’t even touched a sports car before, had just overtaken him in the blink of an eye; Shao Kai felt utterly bewildered.

After a while, Shao Kai finally collected himself and started the car again.

This time, however, he didn’t head towards the mountaintop but turned around towards the foot of the mountain.

He wasn’t foolish.

Heading to the mountaintop now, there was no way he could beat Lin Fei.

Decisively, Shao Kai chose to go all out and drove down towards the foot of the mountain.

After all, there was no one at the mountaintop to witness; as long as he reached the base first, he could dictate the outcome of the race.

No matter how you sliced it, driving the Ferrari gave him a better chance of winning than Lin Fei.

With this in mind, Shao Kai accelerated towards the foot of the mountain, his speed even faster than when he had been heading towards the top.
