Xu Xiangbei drove the silver Porsche to the entrance of the Earth Sea West Suburban Zoo.
A red finish line was already set up at the entrance, with crowds of people eagerly awaiting the victor to cross it.
As Xu Xiangbei crossed the finish line, ti seed to suddenly stop, and people erupted into enthusiastic cheers and applause.
Xu Xiangbei felt the intense honor of being warmly welcod by others for the first ti, his heart leaping to the clouds.
Of course, there were also so who remained silent, their expressions were stunned, filled with doubt and hatred; these were Qin Fatty’s friends and family.
They had already arranged with Qin Fatty to celebrate his victory at the finish line.
They made ticulous preparations, bringing top-tier golden diamond champagne, holding colorful spray tubes, and multi-colored glow sticks, just waiting for Qin Fatty to be the first to rush across the finish line.
To their disappointnt, the one who crossed the line was Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei got out of the car, stretched lazily, finally able to relax his tensed heart.
The evening breeze brought a touch of coolness to him.
The starry sky was dotted with stars, like pearls in black velvet, crystal clear and elegantly noble.
Just when he drove across the river, his heart was racing, nearly jumping out of his throat.
If the engine had lacked just a bit of power, during such a short sprint distance, he might have crashed into the concrete around the riverbank.
After he landed steadily on the riverbank, besides thanking the heavens, he secretly thanked Brother Hua Ji.
After the silver Porsche was modified, the engine power system was at least improved by thirty percent.
This extra thirty percent power saved his life and allowed him to ultimately win the race.
He lit a cigarette, gently blew a smoke ring, and his gaze drifted over unfamiliar faces until he suddenly recognized soone in the crowd.
A burly man with a band-aid on his forehead, holding golden champagne, although tall and muscular, turned pale at the sight of Xu Xiangbei, shrinking his neck, trying to blend into the crowd like a mouse seeing a cat.
This was one of the judo team mbers he had defeated earlier, Xu Xiangbei jokingly blocked his escape: "What kind of champagne is this, prepared for the winner? Let see."
Though the man wanted to say sothing, he dared not refuse, handing the champagne to Xu Xiangbei.
The golden packaging of the champagne was dazzling, looking noble and grand, with a delicate diamond-shaped logo on the bottle - it was the world’s top Bordeaux diamond champagne.
A black rcedes SUV drove over, and Xu Xiangbei recognized it as Shen Congru’s car, the self-proclaid referee, followed by Ouyang Jiahui’s Buick.
Shen Congru walked over with a smile, extending his girlish, fair fingers to shake hands with Xu Xiangbei.
"Congratulations to Dr. Xu for winning," he said. "Qin Daming is too exhausted to co, but he asked to bring the villa transfer contract, a four-story Euro-style villa worth twenty million in the city center. If Dr. Xu has ti in the next days, just go to the sales office for procedures."
Accepting the contract, Xu Xiangbei grinned with a hint of sarcasm, "Qin Daming has a nice na, but his character isn’t great—he’s not fierce at all and very sneaky. He tried many tricks along the way. But in front of the Panshan Road car god in Jiangcheng, no tricks work. Whether he cos or not doesn’t matter, as long as he loses and admits it."
Since Shen Congru was Qin Daming’s friend, Xu Xiangbei’s words made Shen Congru’s handso face a bit awkward. He defended, "Qin Daming is fairly trustworthy; if he loses the race, of course, he’ll admit it."
"Then please, Mr. Shen. Shall we celebrate with so champagne together?"
Shen Congru waved a hand, "You all celebrate; I’ve got other matters to attend to."
Xiao Lin and Ouyang Jiahui also arrived at the West Suburban Zoo.
Ouyang Jiahui hugged Xu Xiangbei’s arm, more excited than Xu Xiangbei himself, "Brother Xu, you were great! They all said you would lose, but I insisted that Brother Xu wouldn’t lose, and I was right."
"I’m the Panshan Road car god; of course, I wouldn’t lose."
Xiao Lin’s blue eyes were full of admiration and warmth as she reached out a hand to Xu Xiangbei, "Congratulations, Brother Xu."
Having waited at the gym for news just now, she heard many rumors and was deeply worried for Xu Xiangbei. Seeing him safe and victorious, she smiled happily.
Pop, Ouyang Jiahui opened the champagne, a thick foam sprayed from the bottle top—true to the top-tier diamond champagne brand, a rich and aromatic scent surged out.
Many people gathered around Xu Xiangbei, drinking champagne together and sharing the joy of victory.
Xu Xiangbei’s phone rang—it was Hua Ji calling. Xu Xiangbei wanted to thank him: "Hua Ji, you did an amazing job on the car; I finally won."
Hua Ji’s hearty laughter ca over the phone, "Well done; I knew you could win. My trip to Earth Sea wasn’t wasted. Qian Feng and I plan to find a place to have skewers, why don’t you join us for a night snack?"
"Alright, you guys go find a spot first, call when you’ve found it. I have so things to deal with."
"We’ll go ahead then; call you later."
Xu Xiangbei dialed Liu Ningyan’s phone; she had greatly helped with this race. Without her guidance and careful route planning, he wouldn’t have won.
"What are you up to?"
Liu Ningyan’s gentle voice ca through the phone, "Sleeping, I watched those videos all night; my eyes are strained, I’m exhausted."
"How about going out for a night snack? Hua Ji from Jiangcheng is here; if he hadn’t modified the engine, I couldn’t have crossed that river."
When Xu Xiangbei ntioned Hua Ji, she rembered Hua Ji’s Shamate hairstyle and his tiny stature, almost laughing out loud.
In her mind, Hua Ji was a small, unimpressive thug. She hadn’t expected Xu Xiangbei to beco good friends with Hua Ji.
"It’s so late, not suitable for a girl to eat, and I’m already in bed; I need my beauty sleep."
Xu Xiangbei sighed helplessly, "Alright then, thank you for your help today; without you being my eyes, I couldn’t have won."
Liu Ningyan’s laughter sounded like silver bells, "You’re too nagging; why thank ? I should be thanking you for saving my life, how should I thank you?"
Xu Xiangbei joked, "Well, if you really want to thank , why not marry ?"
Liu Ningyan’s slightly annoyed voice ca over the phone, "You can’t change your nature, can you? Always joking. If you want to marry , you’ll have to wait. I prioritize my career, no romance until I succeed."
