Just as the crowd hurried toward the cliffside at the second-to-last bend, Bai Jin, the No. 4 driver who had won the race, pushed open his car door and leisurely stepped out.

Standing beside the car door in a black racing suit that perfectly outlined his figure, Bai Jin raised a hand to remove his helmet, stretching his arms and accentuating the long, sleek curve of his waist and back. Huo Hongbao, who had been hurrying after Huo Jinnian toward the accident scene, abruptly stopped.

Noticing that Huo Hongbao had suddenly halted and was staring into the distance with a foolish grin, Huo Jinnian followed his gaze and instinctively raised a brow.

"This is the pretty treasure boy who caught your eye at first sight?" Huo Jinnian confirmed with Huo Hongbao once again.

Huo Hongbao nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes! Brother, isn't he gorgeous? Doesn't he totally match my type? What do you think about me luring him over and making him your brother-in-law?"

Huo Jinnian gave him a smack. "Not a chance! I advise you to put away that unrealistic fantasy. He isn't someone you can covet."

Without waiting for Huo Hongbao's reply, he swiftly dragged him away.

As a result, neither brother noticed that after they turned around, Bai Jin watched the direction they had left in, a thoughtful smile hanging on his lips.

Had he been recognized?

Elsewhere, Bai Jianian helped the still-shaken Chen Mo out of the car and loudly demanded, "Bai Jin! Have you no shame? Just to show off in front of Brother Mo, you actually tried to kill someone..."

Bai Jianian's voice was loud enough to quickly draw plenty of attention.

No one knew much about Bai Jin, the dark horse champion who had emerged from tonight's race, but winning the competition proved that he would surely become a valued guest at the club in the future.

So even though Bai Jianian was shouting like that, no one immediately pointed fingers at Bai Jin. They merely watched from a distance to see how things unfolded.

Still, everyone moved in elite circles, and quite a few had attended gatherings with Bai Jianian before. They knew that although Bai Jianian was usually somewhat pretentious, he did have a point.

Clearly, the most capable racer in this competition had been the retired international driver in the No. 1 car, yet at the last moment, that man had overturned his car.

Handing the advantage to the No. 4 driver who had been right on his tail.

If there really was some conspiracy behind it, then the No. 4 driver following the No. 1 car would certainly have been the first witness.

Bai Jin withdrew his gaze. Rather than getting angry at the slander Bai Jianian had thrown at him, he leaned casually against the car door with his arms crossed, his long, fair fingers lightly tapping his own arm.

He had a pair of beautiful peach-blossom eyes. Under the dazzling starlight, they possessed a soul-stirring allure, especially now that the corners of his eyes were tinged with amusement, making him all the more seductive.

Even Chen Mo was momentarily stunned by Bai Jin's appearance.

How had he never noticed before that Bai Jin was this good-looking?

Noticing the change in Chen Mo's gaze toward Bai Jin, Bai Jianian grew even angrier. He released Chen Mo, stepped in front of him, and pointed at Bai Jin's nose as he cursed, "Do you dare say you had nothing to do with that crash just now?"

With so many people watching, Bai Jianian did not dare pin the entire accident directly on Bai Jin. After all, this was Huo Family territory, and he did not dare make too much trouble.

But he would not let Bai Jin take the championship prize so easily either.

The money was not important. He simply did not want Bai Jin to have an easy time.

"What else? What other accusations are you going to pin on me?" The smile on Bai Jin's face faded somewhat. He straightened up, brushed off nonexistent dust from his clothes, then turned and opened the car door to take out a baseball bat.

Bai Jianian said, "You're nothing but a bastard born of a shameless mistress. What are you acting so high and mighty for... Ah! What are you doing?"

"Can't you tell? I'm beating you up!" As soon as the words fell, Bai Jin swung the bat at Bai Jianian. The blow came so fast that Bai Jianian had no time to dodge.

All they heard was...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

The baseball bat seemed like an extension of Bai Jin's nimble arm. Every strike landed on Bai Jianian's mouth. After only five or six swings, Bai Jianian's mouth was already full of blood.

As Bai Jianian opened his mouth to scream, two teeth fell out.

Everyone present was stunned by the scene.

So... so fucking brutal?!

But then again...

Watching a beautiful person beat someone up was also a visual treat.

If one ignored Bai Jianian's pig-headed face, now battered into a bloody mess, then... yes, it really was a beautiful sight.

Only when he saw Bai Jianian lose two teeth did Chen Mo finally react. He did not dare rush forward to save him, afraid Bai Jin would beat him up too.

He could only stand there hopping madly. "Bai Jin, are you crazy? How dare you hit someone? Stop it!"

Bai Jin continued swinging the baseball bat, though he held back his strength. His voice was cold and flat. "Why wouldn't I dare hit someone? He can falsely accuse me, but I can't fight back?"

Everyone: "..."

Falsely accuse him?

Looking at Bai Jianian's miserable state, that phrase did seem rather fitting.

"Stop! Stop right now! If you keep hitting him, you'll beat Jianian to death." After all, Bai Jianian was the person he liked. In the end, Chen Mo still rushed forward to save him.

After swinging the bat backward, Bai Jin raised a foot and kicked Bai Jianian toward Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's ribs were still broken. When Bai Jianian crashed into him, the pain made him stagger on the spot, and he fell into a heap with Bai Jianian.

At that moment, a familiar voice came from beyond the crowd. "Bai Jin!"

Bai Jin's relaxed expression instantly tightened. He looked up and, sure enough, saw Lu Chengze walking toward them from outside the crowd?!

Wasn't Lu Chengze supposed to be away tonight?

Why was he here?

More importantly, how was he supposed to explain why he had come wandering around here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Countless excuses flashed through Bai Jin's mind, but when Lu Chengze reached him, he tossed away the baseball bat and threw himself into Lu Chengze's arms. His hands tightly wrapped around the man's lean, powerful waist as he choked out, "Fifth Master, they're bullying me!"

Everyone: "...???"

Who was bullying whom?

Although Bai Jianian had said some nasty things, wasn't it Bai Jin who had beaten him into a bloody pig head?

Yet no one stepped forward to say anything.

Hilarious!

Whether he was telling the truth or not, seeing him throw himself into Fifth Master Lu's arms and twist right and wrong around—and seeing that Fifth Master Lu not only did not push him away but even held him and comforted him in return—made it obvious that this young man had an unusual relationship with Fifth Master Lu.

"What happened?"

Lu Chengze's car had only been passing by. He had rushed back intending to return and sleep with the little one.

Yet he had received a message from his friend Huo Jinnian, saying that his little one was in danger here and telling him to hurry over and carry him away before someone else lured him off.

Who would have thought that upon arriving, he would see Bai Jin's valiant figure swinging a baseball bat.
