Su Rui drove the car, and after leaving the city center, he went straight onto the highway.
Then, he exited the highway near the suburbs and slowly drove forward along a newly built provincial road.
He hadn't driven far when, in his line of sight, he saw the road ahead blocked by several modified BMWs. Two or three young men with pink hair and wearing hip-hop clothes leaned against the car doors, quietly talking about something.
The sound of the Pagani's engine attracted their attention.
They shifted their gaze here, with obvious confusion in their eyes.
"Didn't everyone go up already? This Pagani... whose is it?"
"Did someone come late?"
"Go ask!"
Two young men exchanged glances and walked towards Su Rui.
"Brother, you're not from the club, are you?" The young man saw the luxury car Su Rui was driving and his unfamiliar face, and his tone was quite polite. "The road ahead is blocked. If you want to play, next time."
Su Rui raised his eyebrows, his tone gentle: "I already agreed with Brother Hao before. I was a bit late because of something. How about... I call Brother Hao?"
"Brother Hao's friend?" The young man paused, then smiled: "Let me ask, brother, please wait a moment!"
Su Rui nodded.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me? A Pagani came down the mountain, said he's Brother Hao's friend, yes, unfamiliar face... quite young..." A young man held a walkie-talkie and hid far away, but with his extraordinary hearing, Su Rui still heard the content of their conversation: "The license plate is local... yes, yes!"
About thirty seconds later, the young man returned, with a smile on his face.
"Brother, this is your first time, right? I'll take you up! This newly built road has quite a few forks!"
Su Rui chuckled and shook his head: "No need, I'm quite familiar with this road!"
The engine roared, and the Pagani kicked up a gust of wind, directly crossing the few BMWs blocking the road and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Whose young master is this again?" After Su Rui drove away, a young man was a little confused. "Why don't I have any impression?"
"Brother Hao's friends, do you think you can all know them?" The young man who had been holding the walkie-talkie earlier smiled: "What level are they, what level are we? Just do our job well!"
"That's true!" The young man nodded in deep agreement, then looked at the cars by the side of the road, feeling a bit eager: "How about we also take a lap?"
"Forget it... more than twenty supercars were sent up the mountain today. Looking at our own BMWs, they're just tractors..."
"Yeah, Brother Hao really has connections... any of these friends, taken out individually, are top figures."
"This is what you call elite social circles..."
The Pagani drove on the winding mountain road.
This was a newly built road, not open to the public. Even the mountainous area below the road belonged to private property.
On the cleared grassland halfway up the mountain, a luxurious villa was located.
More than twenty limited edition sports cars were parked nearby, their engines running, occasionally emitting roaring acceleration sounds.
Each of these cars had a standalone value of over twenty million, and their engines and control systems had been modified to the extreme, doubling the price. They were truly sky-high supercars.
On the spacious platform at the top of the villa, Su Rui also saw an aerial photography helicopter.
On the fuselage, there were very conspicuous words indicating its identity.
CCS Supercar Club.
It almost encompassed the entire Tongzhou, as well as the top second-generation elites from several surrounding cities.
The appearance of the Pagani naturally attracted their attention.
Several young people stood at the entrance of the villa, frowning. It seemed someone recognized the origin of the car.
"It seems to be... Mingzhu Company's car."
"The Li Family?"
"No, the situation with the Li Family is a bit complicated," someone explained. "Although the CEO of Mingzhu Company is the Li Family's daughter; however, Mingzhu Company has nothing to do with the Li Group. It is an independent enterprise outside of the Li Group, belonging solely to the Li Family's daughter."
"Hehe... a favored daughter of heaven, starting from scratch!" Someone nearby chuckled.
"A beautiful CEO, hundreds of times stronger than those socialite vases."
Standing at the front was a very refined young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses; he had a clean buzz cut, his white shirt was spotless, and even his fingernails were meticulously trimmed, showing that he was an extremely disciplined person.
Although he didn't look old, his eyes held a depth and steadiness that didn't match his age.
The young people standing behind him seemed to implicitly defer to him.
His name was Wan Hao.
The owner of the CCS Supercar Club, and also the... leader in this second-generation circle.
"Brother Hao, you know people from the Li Family too?" Someone nearby spoke up. "Didn't you always look down on their second son?"
Wan Hao narrowed his eyes and gently shook his head.
Because he saw the Pagani stop, and the person who got out of the car was an unfamiliar face.
Su Rui stretched, and with extreme familiarity, waved in this direction.
He looked around at the surroundings.
Hmm, still so familiar.
"Brother Hao." Su Rui was quite polite and walked over.
"We don't seem to know each other." Wan Hao raised his eyebrows. He had always heard that the CEO of Mingzhu Group had a cold personality and that almost no man could get close to her. But now, an unfamiliar man was driving Li Mu's car and swaggering into his club.
"Don't we get to know each other after meeting?" Su Rui smiled.
"That makes sense..." Wan Hao nodded. In Tongzhou City, he was able to gather so many rich second-generations not just by his family's strength, but also by his excellent emotional intelligence. He extended his hand and said, "Wan Hao."
"Su Rui." Su Rui shook hands with Wan Hao.
"Looking for me for something?" Wan Hao crossed his arms over his chest and asked.
"I want to run a couple of laps." Su Rui pointed to the rugged mountain road, a calm smile on his face. He knew very well what kind of person Wan Hao was and what his hobbies were. "Brother Hao, you wouldn't not welcome me, would you?"
Wan Hao was not a local of Tongzhou, but from a top elite family in the Capital City.
His family's influence was astonishing, even having a general who held real power; they were not on the same level as the wealthy merchant families in Tongzhou City at all.
However, Wan Hao did not stay in the Capital City but chose to be "sent down" to Tongzhou City, leisurely opening a supercar club.
Wan Hao loved cars.
He even spared no expense to buy this mountainous area, build mountain roads, and buy a helicopter; just to enjoy the thrill of speeding freely.
So, Su Rui started with the car.
"Hehe... those who come to me, Wan Hao, are all my friends." Wan Hao immediately smiled when he heard Su Rui's intention. "It's just that your car doesn't seem to have been modified, and the tires aren't suitable for this kind of high-intensity mountain road. The grip is too low. If you go too fast, you're likely to be thrown off!"
These mountain roads were newly built recently, and the protective measures were not yet fully established; at some corners, beyond the mountain road was a cliff nearly a hundred meters deep. Once a car flew off while speeding, there would be no remains.
"If the hardware isn't enough, the technique makes up for it." Su Rui raised his hand, pointing to the distant mountain peak, and said calmly: "I have nothing but good technique and guts."
Wan Hao was speechless and chuckled.
"How about it, Brother Hao, a race?" Su Rui smiled, slowly leading Wan Hao's emotions. "Just as a... friendly match after meeting a new friend."
Su Rui directly invited Wan Hao.
The scene was quiet for a moment.
"Haha... Brother, you, challenging Brother Hao?" Among the crowd on the side, someone seemed a little surprised.
"You've really hit a wall this time! Brother Hao has even raced in the 'ROC'!"
Race of Champions.
Every participant is a world-class professional driver. ROC is a true peak showdown.
Wan Hao's strength was beyond doubt!
In the entire Huaxia Nation, there were only a handful of drivers who could compete with him, countable on one hand.
"We've been abused for so long, and finally there's a newcomer who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth challenging Brother Hao!" Someone was egging him on, their eyes on Su Rui changing, as if in jest: "Come, come, everyone, come and watch Brother Hao crush this rookie!"
Wan Hao gently pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, a faint, extremely strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Racing me with an unmodified Pagani, you're the first one to treat me with such a frivolous attitude!"
Wan Hao's tone was very gentle, but Su Rui still heard the deeply hidden annoyance.
He couldn't be blamed.
In a field he was extremely skilled in, being treated with such a flippant attitude would make anyone angry.
"I'll race you. I hope you don't disappoint me!" Wan Hao shook his head expressionlessly. At this point, he was already sure that Su Rui had deliberately come to cause trouble and challenge him.
But who was he?
He had once competed against world-class drivers on professional tracks, how could he take Su Rui seriously?
"Little Han, go get my car!" Wan Hao ordered a follower, then looked at Su Rui again: "Don't worry, I won't bully you too much. I'll let you see my taillights."
Su Rui spread his hands, smiling casually.
Before long, a Koenigsegg appeared, crushing the road surface and emitting a deafening roar.
Slowly, it parked in the same position as the Pagani.
Just one glance.
Su Rui judged that this Koenigsegg had been modified. Its chassis was pressed extremely low, and the car's weight seemed to have been increased significantly, making the center of gravity very stable.
Mountain roads are different from straight runs. Vehicles cannot just pursue speed; they must also pursue stability so they don't drift when cornering.
This car should have been specially modified by Wan Hao for running on mountain roads.
"The engine... has also been modified." Amidst the roar, Su Rui heard a dull knocking sound. That was the sound of the improved cylinder pistons operating, which could increase the intake volume.
It had to be said that Wan Hao was indeed worthy of the title of top driver.
Judging solely by this modified car, his skill level was extremely high. He didn't blindly pursue extreme speed but chose the most suitable modification method based on the different road conditions.
"I'll give you one last chance to take back what you just said."
Wan Hao said indifferently.
"I... don't really have the habit of taking back what I say." Su Rui smiled, turned and opened the Pagani's door. "Brother Hao, please enlighten me!"
