Chapter 60

Longqiufeng, located in the western suburbs of Longhai City, covers a vast area.

A few years ago, this place was still a desolate wasteland, but it was later bought by a wealthy businessman who wanted to turn it into an eco-resort.

However, before the eco-resort could be built, the businessman went bankrupt, and the place fell into semi-abandonment once again.

It wasn't until two years ago that someone else took over and turned it into a racing club!

Longhai City has three major racing hotspots: Qixia Valley, Longqiufeng, and Jiulongpan!

Among them, Qixia Valley is the most dangerous and thrilling, with reported deaths every month. However, it seems to have a magical allure, attracting not only local drivers from Longhai but also many drivers from other regions.

Longqiufeng, on the other hand, is more of a money-making place, more commercial and regulated. The racing club, in addition to hosting races, also runs underground betting, making a fortune as the house.

Around seven o'clock, Xiao Chen and his companion arrived at Longqiufeng!

Getting out of the Maserati, Xiao Chen looked around and smiled.

He had visited Longqiufeng once before when he was in Longhai City, and now, upon revisiting, he found little had changed.

He had also been to Qixia Valley, and compared to Longqiufeng, he preferred Qixia Valley, as it was the paradise for adventurers, with life-or-death underground races.

*Snap!*

Xiao Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, and blew a smoke ring.

"Xiao Meng, has that Yin He not arrived yet? Call him and hurry him up. We need to finish the race and get back quickly. What if your sister calls me and asks me to pick her up?"

"Sure!"

Su Xiaomeng nodded. She had just taken out her phone when a voice came from behind her.

"Sister Meng, you're here!"

A few fashionably dressed boys and girls walked over, smiling and greeting Su Xiaomeng.

"Yep, have you seen Yin He?"

Su Xiaomeng smiled at them.

"He seems to have arrived. I heard he's in the club's main hall!" A young man said, his gaze falling on Xiao Chen. "Sister Meng, is this the expert you mentioned?"

"Exactly, he's the racing expert I told you about!" Su Xiaomeng nodded, mimicking Xiao Chen's tone. "He can toy with Zhu Kun like it's a game!"

"Hey, is he really your boyfriend?"

A girl with red hair asked with a mischievous smile.

"Rubbish, why would I like him? It's just for show!"

Su Xiaomeng rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Hey, hey, what's that tone?"

Xiao Chen was displeased. Is that how you talk to me?

"Hehe, if you don't like him, I'll take my chance!" The red-haired girl said, draping her arm around Xiao Chen's neck. "Hey, handsome, want to get to know me? I'm much gentler than Su Xiaomeng!"

"Su Xiaomeng?"

Xiao Chen subconsciously looked at Su Xiaomeng. What kind of nickname is this?

"Alright, stop flirting. Let's go find Yin He and finish the race. I need to get home!"

Su Xiaomeng said irritably.

"Look, Su Xiaomeng is jealous, hahaha... Let's go, I won't tease you anymore. We need to get this done. I hope this handsome guy can really beat Zhu Kun, or else..."

The red-haired girl laughed.

"Cough, cough!"

Su Xiaomeng coughed, and the red-haired girl paused, not continuing.

Xiao Chen looked at the red-haired girl, then at Su Xiaomeng. Is there something going on here?

They arrived at the adjacent hall and met Yin He and his group!

Xiao Chen glanced around. Except for one unfamiliar young man, the others were all from Jiulongpan... This unfamiliar young man must be Yin He's cousin!

"Xiao Meng, you're here!"

Yin He greeted Su Xiaomeng and then looked at Xiao Chen, a cold expression in his eyes. Bastard, you're dead tonight!

"Cut the crap, let's race!"

Su Xiaomeng didn't want to waste time with Yin He and got straight to the point.

"Hehe, you must be Su Xiaomeng. My cousin has mentioned you many times. You're indeed very beautiful! Let me introduce myself, I'm Zhu Kun, Yin He's cousin!"

"I've heard of your name, one of the underground racing gods of Longhai City..." Before Zhu Kun could smile smugly, Su Xiaomeng continued, "But you'll definitely lose to my boyfriend tonight!"

Zhu Kun's smile froze, and he glanced at Xiao Chen. "You really believe in his driving skills?"

"It's not that I believe in his skills, but he told me he can toy with you like it's a game!" Su Xiaomeng never missed an opportunity to stir up trouble for Xiao Chen.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhu Kun's face darkened as he looked at Xiao Chen. "Toy with me like it's a game? Hehe, I don't think anyone in Longhai has ever said that. I'd like to see how he can toy with me like it's a game!"

"You'll see soon enough."

Xiao Chen said calmly.

"Is that so? I hope your driving skills are as good as your mouth... and I hope your bones are as hard as your mouth!" Zhu Kun said coldly.

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, clearly sensing the hostility and threat from Zhu Kun!

"Yin He, don't cheat like last time in front of so many people!"

Su Xiaomeng glared at Yin He.

"I, Yin He, always keep my word!"

"Good!"

A few minutes later, they arrived at the club's underground garage. To ensure a fair race, both sides chose a Lexus, though the colors were different.

The two drove the cars out of the garage, did a quick inspection to ensure everything was in order, and then entered the track!

With the participation of "Zhu Kun," the underground racing god, the club saw an opportunity to make a fortune and prepared to bet on this race!

Soon, the news of Zhu Kun's race spread throughout Longqiufeng, and many people came to watch!

Although Zhu Kun wasn't the top underground racing god in Longhai City, not even in the top five, his skills were still very strong!

Therefore, one side was the skilled Zhu Kun, and the other was an unfamiliar guy. Everyone thought the former had a better chance of winning!

Of course, some people believed that since Xiao Chen dared to challenge Zhu Kun, he was either reckless or a formidable opponent...

The club set the odds at 1 to 2, clearly favoring Zhu Kun!

"Brother Chen, I just bet 200,000. That's my half-year's allowance... If I lose, I won't let you off!"

As Xiao Chen was familiarizing himself with the car, Su Xiaomeng ran over and said.

"..."

Xiao Chen was surprised. This girl gets over 30,000 a month?

"What? Don't tell me you've lost confidence now. I've already placed my bet!"

Su Xiaomeng saw Xiao Chen's silence and got a bit anxious. Losing money was one thing, but they couldn't lose this race!

"Xiao Meng, what's the maximum bet?"

"About 50 million. What's up?"

"Okay." Xiao Chen took out his wallet, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Su Xiaomeng. "This card has 50 million. Help me place the bet. I need to earn some pocket money."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng looked at the bank card Xiao Chen handed her, stunned. Holy crap, is this real? Is this guy so rich? He's just a soldier, right? Even a special forces soldier doesn't earn that much!

And, betting 50 million for pocket money?

If he wins, at 1 to 2 odds, that's 100 million. Is this still pocket money?

Although she thought this guy probably wasn't short of money, he didn't need to be this rich, did he?

"Xiao Meng, what are you standing there for? Go place the bet, it's about to start!"

"Ah, oh, oh!" Su Xiaomeng snapped out of it and lowered her voice. "How do you have so much money? Were you a special forces soldier in the Golden Triangle? Selling drugs on the side?"

"..."

"Or are you a spy? Selling state secrets..."

"Stop talking nonsense. This money is all mine!" Xiao Chen saw this girl getting more and more ridiculous and pretended to be angry. "If you keep babbling, I won't help you race!"

"No, I'll go place the bet right away!" Su Xiaomeng shook her head, took the bank card, and walked to the table.

"Xiao Meng, why are you back? Didn't you already place a bet?"

The red-haired girl asked.

"Place another one!" Su Xiaomeng said, throwing the bank card on the table and coolly added, "50 million, bet on the blue car to win!"

Everyone was shocked by this. 50 million?

Even the red-haired girl and others stared with wide eyes. Although their families were wealthy, they had never dealt with 50 million before!

Yin He and his group were even more stunned. This girl is crazy? Betting 50 million?

Su Xiaomeng noticed the reactions around her and felt a great sense of satisfaction. She said to the club staff, "Hey, what are you standing there for? Can't I bet 50 million?"

"Sure, sure, sure!" The staff member nodded quickly. "But are you sure this card has 50 million?"

"Of course, hurry up!"

Although Su Xiaomeng wasn't sure, she trusted Xiao Chen. If he lied to her and made her lose face, she would never talk to him again!

The card was swiped, and 50 million was transferred!

The club then approached Zhu Kun again, asking if he was confident in beating Xiao Chen!

After all, with the additional 50 million, the stakes were no longer small, and the club needed to handle it carefully!

"Shouldn't be a problem."

If Zhu Kun was confident before, now, after Su Xiaomeng's 50 million bet, his confidence was less than 50%!

After all, no one is a fool, and no one would bet their own money on a game!

Xiao Chen's willingness to bet 50 million showed his confidence in winning!

Zhu Kun admitted to himself that he lacked the courage to bet 50 million!

"If you win, we'll give you an extra point!" The club's manager said seriously.

Zhu Kun's eyes lit up, and he nodded. "Okay, I'll win!"

"Alright, go prepare!"

After Zhu Kun left, the manager thought for a moment and called his subordinates. "To reduce risk, bet on Xiao Chen as well. Don't rely entirely on Zhu Kun!"

"Understood!"

Outside, the two cars were already on the track, engines roaring!

The windows rolled down, and the two drivers exchanged a glance. Zhu Kun sneered and made a throat-slitting gesture to taunt Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen looked at Zhu Kun's gesture and quietly said, "Idiot!"

A provocatively dressed woman approached the two sports cars, posing seductively. After confirming that both were ready, she suddenly dropped the flag in her hand.

*Buzz!*

As the flag dropped, the two sports cars roared and almost simultaneously shot off the starting line.
