“Of course. What, are you scared? Weren’t you the one who swore just a while ago that you would restructure the company no matter what it takes?”
“Me? Scared of what? Not one bit.” Gu Wanyue steeled herself and forced the words out.
“Don’t worry. If you happen to scrape your body a little, how about I lick it clean for you?”
“Yu Xiaoduo! Are you uncomfortable if you don’t get fresh with me for even one day?”
“Yep.”
“You’re shameless!”
The two in the car immediately started bickering again, arguing all the way to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town.
Everyone lined up their cars in a row. There were Ferraris and Lamborghinis, including two SVJs. Yu Xiaoduo’s BMW 5 Series was the cheapest one there.
But there were also two cars parked facing each other about a hundred meters apart. One was Pan Wei’s Aston Martin, and the other was Lu Zhengzhi’s McLaren. They were about to play a game of chicken—whoever turned the steering wheel first would be the loser.
Everyone was thrilled. Back in the day, even when Ye Shishi was around, they’d never done anything like this. No one expected an outsider like Gu Wanyue to suggest it.
“Lu Zhengzhi, floor it. Don’t wimp out.” Pan Wei lit a cigarette and said coolly.
“Don’t worry. I’ll stomp the gas pedal through the floor. Tonight, I’m sending you to the hospital.”
“We’ll see who ends up in the hospital.”
Trash-talking before the battle was also a necessary part of the ritual.
Just then, Yu Xiaoduo stepped forward with a smile. “Mr. Lu, this whole thing started because of me. Let me take care of it.”
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Gu Wanyue strangely. A moment later, cheers broke out. A girl actually dared to do this?
Even Gu Wanyue thought she seemed pretty badass right now. This guy was using her body to show off again.
Fu Quan leaned in and warned her carefully, “Miss Gu, this is very dangerous. I really think you shouldn’t get involved.”
“Yeah, let me handle it. This has nothing to do with you.” Lu Zhengzhi also tried hard to talk her out of it. Such a beautiful girl—it wouldn’t be good if she got banged up.
“I like to finish what I start. Mr. Lu, you can just stand over there and watch.” Yu Xiaoduo was practically oozing with confidence. Everyone noticed that Gu Wanyue wasn’t just gorgeous—she was also tough. Just like Ye Shishi back in the day.
Lu Zhengzhi gave a thumbs up. “A true heroine. You’re the second woman I’ve ever respected.”
“Oh? Who was the first?”
“Haha, maybe you’ll run into each other someday. I’m actually kind of looking forward to it.” Lu Zhengzhi was curious about what kind of sparks would fly between two such hardcore women. It would definitely be interesting.
Pan Wei frowned when he saw that Gu Wanyue was serious about doing this. “Miss Gu, I won’t go easy on you just because of who you are.”
“Please don’t. Whatever happens next, everyone is responsible for themselves.” Yu Xiaoduo didn’t like Pan Wei either. Even though what happened was a few years ago, he still hadn’t gotten over that grudge.
“Fine!” With that, Pan Wei walked toward his car.
Yu Xiaoduo then looked at Fu Yangxue, who had his head lowered, and said flatly, “Mr. Fu, earlier you said you would die for me. Now’s your chance.”
Gu Wanyue’s mouth twitched. What a savage move—killing two birds with one stone. Who would want to be your girlfriend? You’d just toy with them like puppets.
Fu Yangxue gritted his teeth. You actually believed a man’s words? There’s no way he would die for her. Besides, he wouldn’t offend Pan Wei for her sake either. Weighing his options, Fu Yangxue chose to pretend he didn’t hear that.
The crowd watched Fu Yangxue stand there doing nothing, and a chorus of boos rang out. This guy had no guts. With that kind of cowardice, he wanted to chase after Miss Gu? He didn’t even have as much courage as a girl. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Yu Xiaoduo smiled indifferently and walked toward the yellow McLaren. Her graceful curves looked especially alluring under the headlights, and her long, slender legs were absolutely mesmerizing. When she bent down to open the car door, a wave of whistles erupted from the crowd.
The real Gu Wanyue seemed used to it by now. She just pretended not to see anything.
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
The V10 engine roared like a wild beast, crisp and clear in the quiet night, stirring up excitement in every man’s heart.
In response to Yu Xiaoduo’s provocation, Pan Wei also revved his engine a few times. The two cars were like ferocious beasts, baring their teeth at each other.
Yu Xiaoduo’s expression was calm. She held the steering wheel with one hand and stared intently at the car ahead. She considered this a bit of personal revenge disguised as a public service.
Meanwhile, Pan Wei’s face was grim. His heartbeat had quickened considerably, and his palms were sweating.
Just then, a young woman swayed her hips and walked to the middle of the two cars. Yu Xiaoduo excitedly revved the engine a couple more times, making Gu Wanyue silently complain that he couldn’t control himself whenever he saw a pretty girl.
The young woman suddenly pulled off her bra and threw it into the air. The men all howled like wolves. Gu Wanyue felt like she was seeing something new—this was her first time experiencing this kind of thing, and she had to admit it felt pretty fresh.
When the bra hit the ground, Yu Xiaoduo floored the gas pedal. The rear wheels spun for a moment before the car shot forward like a javelin.
Across from him, Pan Wei also stomped on the gas. The silver Aston Martin bolted forward like a runaway stallion. At their speed, they would crash into each other in about three seconds.
Who would turn the steering wheel first? It was all about betting on the other person chickening out first.
As the two cars got closer and closer, everyone held their breath, their eyes locked on the scene.
By now, Pan Wei’s face showed signs of hesitation. This Gu Wanyue showed no sign of turning the wheel. A woman with such courage?
No way! She must be bluffing!
But half a second later, Pan Wei still saw no indication that she was going to turn. His face twisted with fury. At this speed, if they collided, no one could predict the consequences.
Crazy woman! Even crazier than Ye Shishi!
I still want to keep my hands to hold girls.
At the critical moment, Pan Wei violently yanked the steering wheel. His car barely scraped past the McLaren’s front bumper.
Everyone gasped, then erupted in excited cheers. No one expected Gu Wanyue to win. Pan Wei had lost his nerve!
Just as you’d expect from a young lady from Jingzhou. Truly an eye-opener.
“Wow, Miss Gu is seriously badass. If it were me, I probably would have…” Lu Zhengzhi murmured, full of admiration.
Fu Quan adjusted his glasses and nodded. “Impressive, indeed. But there’s no denying that her series of moves has won her a lot of support. She’s a courageous woman, and a clever one too.”
“Why do you always have to see conspiracies in everything? Can’t a girl just be brave? I really don’t get you sometimes.”
Fu Quan just smiled and didn’t respond.
Meanwhile, the real Gu Wanyue was dying of worry. She had almost screamed out loud just now. No way was she letting him play like this again. Too dangerous! I don’t want to be stuck as a man forever.
At that moment, the Aston Martin spun around a few times before finally stabilizing. Inside the car, Pan Wei slammed his fists against the steering wheel. He couldn’t believe he had lost to a woman for the second time!
He shot the McLaren a vicious glare, then drove off. Zhao Yu and Fu Yangxue, who were watching from the crowd, quickly slipped away too. Tonight had been a huge loss of face.
