Chapter 948: Chapter 0948: A Single Glance at a Rose Leads to a Lifeti of Mistake
Initially, Tang Yurou didn’t know where Sheng Wentao was taking her and Ye Xunhuan, but when she looked at the surrounding scenery, she couldn’t help but think of Jiulong Mountain.
Jiulong Mountain is a well-known scenic tourist destination in Beijing.
But its fa doesn’t co from the scenery—it stems from underground racing.
Due to Jiulong Mountain’s treacherous terrain, known as the “Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends,” and because it’s a tourist area, the infrastructure is top-notch. Most notably, the quality of its roads far exceeds highway standards.
Those unaware of the inside story may think it’s a waste to build such excellent roads for a tourist spot, but insiders know that the Jiulong Mountain tourist site is rely a cover—it’s a front for Beijing’s largest underground racetrack.
Every few days, a racing competition is held at Jiulong Mountain. Participants co from various places and professions, but most are spoiled heirs—people like Sheng Wentao, for instance!
Of course, so professional racers also drop by for a match.
Recognizing that this road led to Jiulong Mountain, Tang Yurou instantly thought of the word “racing” and couldn’t help but ask Sheng Wentao.
But to her surprise, Sheng Wentao actually intended to take Ye Xunhuan racing.
“Sheng Wentao, you…”
“Yu Rou, don’t be mad, don’t be mad!” Sheng Wentao chuckled and said, “It’s just a bit of fun—it’s not like anything bad will happen!”
As he spoke, Sheng Wentao turned to Ye Xunhuan, asking, “So, Ye Shao, what do you think? Like it?”
“You’re really boring, honestly,” Ye Xunhuan replied indifferently.
He didn’t particularly like or dislike racing.
It wasn’t that Ye Xunhuan lacked the skill. On the contrary, he was extrely skilled. Otherwise, back in Jiangzhong City, Qiu Ruoxi wouldn’t have repeatedly told him to drive slower—and even swore she’d never ride in his car again!
That alone proves how good Ye Xunhuan’s driving skills are!
“You don’t dislike it, do you?” Sheng Wentao asked, sounding a bit disappointed.
“Do you like it?”
“It’s alright. The main thing is, it’s thrilling!” Sheng Wentao replied to Ye Xunhuan.
Is racing thrilling?
The answer is a definite yes.
It’s even more thrilling than a roller coaster—Ye Xunhuan knows that better than anyone.
Especially when soone behind you is chasing with cars and firing machine guns or cannons—that’s next-level thrilling.
“Ye Shao, please don’t tell you don’t like it?”
Ye Xunhuan smiled slightly but said nothing.
“Or could it be, you don’t even know how to race?”
Ye Xunhuan continued to smile silently.
“Damn it, can’t you say sothing?”
“Alright, I’ll say one thing: you’re really boring, honestly!” Ye Xunhuan remarked indifferently. “Why compete with in this of all things? Racing?”
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s subtly boastful tone, Sheng Wentao grinned with excitent. “Alright then, let’s compete later. If you really dominate, crush every single competitor here tonight!”
“I’m telling you, if you can take first place tonight, the prize money will be enough for you to splurge for a while!”
“You brought here just to race and win money?”
“It’s mainly to show off!” Sheng Wentao winked at Ye Xunhuan. “You wouldn’t believe it—there are tons of girls here. Each one is stunning…”
Ye Xunhuan was montarily speechless.
So, this guy really planned to use racing to flirt with girls—but that’s certainly in line with the behavior of spoiled brats.
Before they knew it, Sheng Wentao had driven to a wide-open area halfway up Jiulong Mountain.
By now, many mbers of the racing crowd had already gathered at the mountain’s midsection.
Various luxurious sports cars were parked along the road, virtually blocking the entire road. Their headlights pierced the night, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.
Explosive music bood like an adrenaline shot, stimulating the people dancing wildly around the bonfire.
So held beers or brightly-colored flags, swaying their bodies to the music and howling madly—a scene of utter chaos.
Sheng Wentao parked his car, then got out with Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou.
Seeing this rowdy and chaotic scene, Tang Yurou appeared uneasy. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she instinctively moved closer to Ye Xunhuan.
“Ye Shao, what do you think? Pretty lively, huh?” Sheng Wentao asked Ye Xunhuan enthusiastically.
“It’s alright,” Ye Xunhuan replied indifferently. “Judging by this setup, there’s an organizer involved.”
“There is!” Sheng Wentao confird. “The organizer’s a woman, goes by ‘White Rose.’ She’s incredibly mysterious!”
“White Rose?” Ye Xunhuan’s brows furrowed slightly.
Why did that na sound so familiar? Yet, for now, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t recall where he’d heard it before.
“Yes, White Rose!” Sheng Wentao repeated. “Very few in Beijing know her origins, but she’s well-connected in this scene—even my aunt seems to have so ties to her!”
“In Beijing, if my aunt is considered the number one person no one should ss with, then this woman is probably the second!”
Ye Xunhuan’s face showed a hint of surprise. “She’s that impressive?”
“Impressive or not, I don’t know. What’s for sure is, this woman is incredibly resourceful. And by the way, she’s…”
“She’s what?”
“I don’t even know how to describe it—just beautiful! Plenty of rich heirs want to bow beneath her ‘pogranate skirt,’ but so far, not a single one has succeeded!” Sheng Wentao said quietly. “My dad once comnted, ‘Win Ruong, revive a family; win Rose, rule half of Beijing!'”
Hearing Sheng Wentao’s last remark, Ye Xunhuan’s interest visibly piqued.
Could this woman be so formidable?
Winning her could an controlling half of Beijing?
Perhaps there’s so exaggeration in that, yet it certainly signifies that she’s imnsely powerful—with an intricate network spanning nurous connections!
“You know what? The more you talk, the more curious I’m getting!” Ye Xunhuan confessed.
“Ye Shao, you’re better off not being curious!”
“Why not?”
“There’s a common saying in Beijing…”
“Hurry up, what’s the saying?”
“One glance at Rose, and your life’s a lost cause!”
