Lin Xingye had gone through a rebellious phase, too. It had just been a little short.

He had secretly tried racing for a while, though he hadn't done it many times.

Before setting off, he had wondered about it. He wasn't particularly skilled, and he hadn't touched a race car in ages. What if something happened to him?

Who cares? There's not that much to think about. This worthless life of mine-let's do it!

I've already gotten a second chance anyway. What's wrong with being a little bolder?

The man was stunned by Lin Xingye's words for a long moment. Whether they were true or not, he couldn't pretend he knew nothing. He hurriedly called his friends in the Lin Family and the Qi Family.

The moment Lin Xingye asked where and when Qi Sijing was racing, Xu Chen suspected something was going to happen. But in his haste, he had sped and been pulled over by traffic police.

He happened to stop near the Bo Group building. Beside him, a black Mercedes-Benz had also been pulled over for an inspection.

He recognized the license plate. It was Bo Xi's car.

Not caring about anything else, Xu Chen ran over and pounded on the window. The driver in front hurriedly called out, "Sir! Sir, what are you doing?"

Bo Xi turned his head. He recognized Xu Chen, Lin Xingye's close friend, and raised a hand to lower the window. "What is it?"

Seeing the anxiety on Xu Chen's face, he immediately had an ominous feeling.

"Xingye suddenly asked me where Qi Sijing was racing, then ran out without his phone. I can't reach him now, and I don't know what's happening over there!"

"I can't get there now. Please, could you go..."

Bo Xi cut him off with a wave. His expression darkened, a chill seeping into his eyes. "The location."

The race cars sped around the track. Qi Sijing was puzzled. Hadn't Hu Kai wanted to challenge him?

Not only had Hu Kai been trailing him from the start, but they had already passed several bends, and he still didn't seem interested in overtaking. He just stayed close behind, and Qi Sijing had no idea what he was up to.

Racing like this was boring. He was probably just looking to pull some dirty trick.

When Hu Kai suddenly challenged him, he had thought the guy might have improved lately. But this was all he had?

He slowed down, planning to ask what his problem was once the race ended. What a bore.

Hu Kai hadn't expected him to slow down so suddenly. At this speed, even if he rammed him, Qi Sijing's reflexes would probably keep anything serious from happening.

His gaze turned vicious, and he deliberately brushed against Qi Sijing's car, trying to force him aside.

Qi Sijing nearly laughed at his ridiculous maneuver. This was his beloved car. What a bastard.

He rolled his eyes in exasperation and sped up again, wanting nothing more than to finish the race quickly, get out, and give the bastard a good dressing-down.

Watching his car pull ahead, Hu Kai revealed a sinister smile.

Up ahead was the sharpest bend on the entire track, a place where one wrong move could flip a car.

This was what he had been waiting for.

Suddenly, a loud engine roar came from behind.

Qi Sijing's brow twitched, and his irritation grew. Seriously, who's this? Coming to butt in halfway through?

[Fuck, why is that bastard Qi Sijing going so fast?!]

Qi Sijing was so startled he nearly hit the brakes.

In horror, he looked at the black Ferrari that had suddenly appeared in the corner of his rearview mirror. Was Lin Xingye in it?

Did he even know how to drive a race car?!

[Slow down, Qi Sijing! He's going to ram you!!]

He had only just let his attention wander when, in the blink of an eye, the bend was right in front of him!

In the rearview mirror, the blue Porsche behind him was moving strangely. They were clearly approaching a corner, yet it was still accelerating, picking up speed like mad.

And it was aimed straight at the rear of his car.

"Fuck."

There was no time to react. He immediately jerked the steering wheel. Whatever happened, he couldn't let Hu Kai hit him squarely. At that angle, his car was guaranteed to flip.

If he was unlucky enough to fall off the cliff, that would be another story altogether.

Hu Kai's expression was twisted and terrifying. "Baby, no one gets to bully you!"

The two cars slammed into each other at the bend. The deafening crash rang through the sky, glass shards flew everywhere, and even the drone broadcasting overhead jolted.

The spectators at the finish line exchanged looks. The lively crowd fell silent in an instant, their cheering expressions turning to shock.

"I... holy shit, what happened?"

"I-I dunno either."

Just before the collision, Qi Sijing had swerved sharply to keep Hu Kai from hitting the body of his car head-on. But he hadn't had time to slow down-he had originally planned to accelerate through the bend for a final sprint.

Even though he had dodged in time, the tremendous force still sent him crashing into the guardrail. Fortunately, he had managed to shed enough momentum, and the guardrail stopped his car.

But Hu Kai hadn't held back at all. Half the car was nearly crushed, and Qi Sijing's right leg was pinned. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet and hadn't suffered any major injuries.

Pain racked his entire body. Bracing himself, he struggled to lift his head. In the rearview mirror, the blue Lamborghini's front end was crushed, yet its engine started again.

It reversed, preparing for another attack.

Realizing what he intended, Qi Sijing felt a chill run through him. He strained with every ounce of strength, trying to pull his trapped right leg free. "That bastard! Fuck him!"

If everyone had merely been shocked by Hu Kai's sudden mistake, thinking he had accidentally crashed into Qi Sijing's car...

Then his blatant actions now told everyone that he had done it deliberately. He wanted to kill Qi Sijing.

The scene erupted into an uproar. Medical staff piled into a vehicle as quickly as they could and drove toward the crash site.

The moment Lin Xingye saw Qi Sijing's car get hit, he accelerated sharply and hurtled toward them. He hadn't expected Hu Kai to dare attack a second time!

In his previous life, he had only heard that it was a mistake. The Hu family had not only paid a hefty sum in compensation but had also been driven out of City A, while Hu Kai had spent three years in prison.

But if it hadn't merely been an accident, the Qi Family would never have let him off so easily.

And now, because his first strike had failed, Hu Kai was practically announcing his intentions to the world.

He really hadn't expected Qin Ke's puppet to do absolutely anything for him. Qin Ke didn't even need an alibi to clear himself, because it had nothing to do with him in the first place.

As Qi Sijing watched him charge toward him, countless thoughts raced through his mind in that instant. Then a voice abruptly burst into his head.

[BASTARD BLAST!!!!!!]

Qi Sijing: ?

His pupils contracted sharply, and his heart pounded at the sudden crash behind him.

The black Ferrari behind them suddenly shot forward, slamming the blue Porsche into the mountainside beside the road at an astonishing speed.

He hadn't slowed down at all.

An ear-splitting screech tore through the violent crash, followed by the successive shattering of car windows.

Hu Kai hadn't expected someone even crazier than himself. The car came at him so fast and so suddenly that he had no chance to dodge.

Clearly, this person had even less regard for his own life.

But even more clearly, the black Ferrari's owner wasn't a particularly skilled driver. He had used too much force and sent his own car careening over as well.

The two cars collided in the dim night, smashing the lights along the track and leaving nothing but darkness. No one could tell what condition the people inside were in.

Terrified screams filled the finish line. Bo Xi, who had only just arrived, caught nothing but the horrifying sight of the collision.

His heart lurched. He hurriedly turned to the assistant beside him.

"What car did that man say Lin Xingye was driving?"

There was even a pleading look in his eyes, a plea that the answer wouldn't be the one he feared.

The assistant swallowed, his voice trembling. "A black Ferrari..."

Bo Xi's vision went dark, and he nearly lost his footing. Seeing this, the assistant moved to steady him, but he waved him off and turned away. "Call an ambulance immediately!"

The assistant nodded repeatedly. He had only just connected the call when he saw his boss get into a car and charge up the mountain.

He soon vanished into the pitch-black night.

The assistant: Boss, you...
