Chapter 336: Chapter 239: A Promise to Keep Your Family Safe (Begging for Subscription)
When the Koenigsegg crossed the finish line, twenty seconds later, Liang Bing drove her Ferrari to the second spot. Liang Bing was obedient and even in the last lap, she did not let her speed exceed 120.
Ranking third was Zhan Bingxue, followed closely by Qin Zixuan. By the time Ding Qian, driving her 42 million Bugatti Veyron, finally arrived, she was a full lap behind everyone else.
Of course, nobody here would mock her driving skills. Ding Qian, with her 99-point ultimate beauty, was the embodiment of beauty itself. When her eyes, sparkling with a hint of stardust, swept across the group of second-generation rich kids, even the Four Young Masters of the Capital couldn’t help swallowing their saliva, and even Prince Di Bai couldn’t help but take an extra look at her.
“Mr. Chu!” When Qin Zixuan came to his side, she bowed slightly. The icily famous chairwoman of Shi Yuan Entertainment, who held great power, was like a gentle kitten in front of Chu Mo, exuding a warm aura from her entire being, her gaze towards Chu Mo also carried a trace of unusual feelings!
Chu Mo nodded. He tilted his chin up slightly at Ding Qian, who had just stepped down from the Bugatti Veyron, and then said in a calm voice,
“The training has ended. From now on, let’s concentrate the company’s resources on her!”
Qin Zixuan followed Chu Mo’s gaze and saw Ding Qian, who was slightly panting in the distance. She said in a crisp voice,
“Got it, Mr. Chu. I know what to do!”
Not far away, a group of rich second generations were cozying up to Ben Hesed, uttering all kinds of sycophantic compliments. Even though Ben Hesed’s speed never exceeded 150 throughout the course, even falling short of the previoulsy mentioned BMW driver Fei Gang, the second generations’ flattery was in no way lessened.
After a while, Ben Hesed suddenly walked towards Chu Mo, the indifference on his face replaced by a hint of subtle excitement.
Even though he was Prince Di Bai, the future heir to the throne, after all, he was also just a young man in his twenties. Once the fiery blood in his heart was ignited, he couldn’t maintain his composure.
He walked up to Chu Mo, and with a smile, he began to say something. Chu Mo saw him gesture towards himself and then point at the race track, it was clear without translation that he wanted to take advantage of the excitement and have a run around the track with him.
Chu Mo watched from the side for a while. It was impossible for him to say he wasn’t tempted; he too was a young man in his twenties, with his own passion. He didn’t even need Tina’s help to translate and smiled back, nodding before striding over to the Ferrari Sergio parked at the side of the road.
Truth be told, since he had bought that car, he had only driven it twice. Once to meet with Lu Siyue at the bar, where he purchased Lu Siyue’s 500 million-dollar painting, and the second for a solo joyride. After that, when he went out, he usually rode in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, hardly ever driving the Ferrari on his own.
The Ferrari had been bought more than two months ago and spent most of the time parked in the garage. Today was only the third time Chu Mo was driving it.
He hesitated as he saw Ben Hesed laughing and driving the Koenigsegg onto the track to wait for him, thinking it would be somewhat embarrassing to lose if only the two of them raced. He, therefore, called out to the other young masters standing on the other side:
“Young Master Zhang, Young Master Lin… How about we join Prince Di Bai for a lap? It’s more lively with more people!”
Upon hearing this, the young masters who were originally by the side of the track cheering for Ben Hesed immediately laughed and walked over. Including the son of the wealthiest man, Zhang Dongdong, and the Four Young Masters of the Capital, a total of five young men walked over, chatting and laughing as they quickly approached this side.
Their cars were parked in the same parking area as Chu Mo’s and needed to be driven from there to the race track.
Chu Mo’s Ferrari, Zhang Dongdong’s Bentley, Lin family’s eldest son Lin Feng’s 35 million Lamborghini Veneno. Wu family’s eldest son Wu Yaoming drove a 12 million McLaren P1, and the other two young masters’ cars were also around 10 million each.
As the few of them walked past Chu Mo, he suddenly said,
“This isn’t any official race; we’re just here to have fun, so safety first. If Prince Di Bai really had an accident on the track, no one here would be able to escape responsibility. Don’t drive too fast, and don’t get too carried away, especially if you’re really racing against the Prince!”
No sooner had Chu Mo finished speaking than Zhang Dongdong immediately nodded with a smile,
“Mr. Chu, rest assured, we all know what’s at stake. We’ll just play around a bit, we know where the line is!”
Upon hearing Zhang Dongdong’s words, the other young men also nodded with smiles.
The Four Young Masters of the Capital were now completely devoid of their previous pretensions in front of Chu Mo. They had come to a clear understanding of something: although they were around the same age as Chu Mo, or even a year or two older, they knew that in terms of status and identity, Chu Mo was on an equal footing with their fathers. Unless ten or twenty years from now, when these young masters took full control of their respective family’s power and became the absolute decision-makers at home, only then would they qualify to sit as equals with Chu Mo.
Of course, that was just their wishful thinking. With Chu Mo’s rate of accomplishments, by ten or twenty years later, when they were taking over their families, Chu Mo’s net worth would probably be comparable to the head of the Rothschilds, publicly holding a frightening fortune of several hundred trillion, still a figure they would look up to.
The young masters each got into their cars, and with the roar characteristic of sports cars, a few luxury vehicles slowly drove onto the track.
There were many other cars nearby, including those of Chu Mo’s group and those of the rich second generations from Capital City; at least dozens were parked around. Chu Mo drove carefully, and compared to the Ferrari he was riding, he found himself missing the automatic Buick Encore he had driven when he and Yang Xuan went to meet her mother the last time.
That car was an SUV, not only spacious inside but also easy to operate.
Of course, the price difference between the two was like that between clouds and mud.
Here, the least impressive car might be the unlucky Fei family kid’s BMW 6 Series, while the two-hundred-thousand Buick was simply too embarrassing to show off.
As Chu Mo cautiously drove his Ferrari towards the track, the McLaren ahead suddenly stopped. Chu Mo gently tapped the brakes, then he saw a petite girl standing in front of Wu Yaoming’s car, the eldest son of the Wu family.
The girl was about one meter sixty or so, with a limited edition LV bag on her back, a beyond-the-knee skirt, and a pair of distinctive canvas shoes on her feet.
The girl didn’t speak, just stood there with teary eyes, blocking the way of the McLaren, her large eyes fixed directly on Wu Yaoming inside the car.
Following behind, Chu Mo slightly furrowed his brows. After taking another look at the girl, he remembered she was the distant relative of the Wu family that Wu Yaoming talked about. Wu Yaoming had wanted her to come apologize at his Emperor Xuan Villas that evening, but Chu Mo had refused.
According to Chu Mo, everyone associated with the distinguished young men of Capital City, every single one, should be thoroughly dealt with. The petite girl in front obviously had received her family’s warning and was now stubbornly pleading with some unique determination!
As one of the four major families in Magic City, with assets over a hundred billion, even the distant relatives of the Wu family benefited from Wu’s favor. Once the Wu family revoked their grace, those relatives would immediately fall into the abyss. Given Wu Yaoming’s fear of Chu Mo, he would not antagonize Chu Mo for some distant kindred.
So, even in the face of desperate pleas from a little cousin he had often played with as a child, Wu Yaoming still showed no mercy!
Zhang Dongdong and the three other young masters had already driven to the starting line of the track and were side by side with Prince Dickbi. Seeing that Chu Mo’s car had still not arrived, many eyes had already turned in this direction!
When they saw the blocked McLaren and the Ferrari behind it, everyone’s gaze unconsciously drifted over to them!
Perhaps feeling that being blocked by a young girl was a blow to his face, or maybe the gaze of so many people made him feel uncomfortable, but after a moment, when he saw the girl still had no intention of moving away, an annoyed Wu Yaoming suddenly slammed on the throttle. He was in neutral, and the McLaren’s engine immediately roared powerfully, the tremendous noise even spreading throughout the whole racetrack.
However, Wu Yaoming clearly underestimated the petite girl’s resolve. Her delicate face was already wet with tears, but no matter how Wu Yaoming tried to shoo her away, she remained unmoved, seemingly ready to stand her ground to the bitter end.
Wu Yaoming was obviously losing his temper, as he kept fiercely stepping on the accelerator, the supercar’s massive roar almost bursting eardrums!
Chu Mo’s Ferrari was very close to the McLaren, and when Wu Yaoming first floored the throttle, he had been so startled by the roar that his ears rang. After a moment, seeing Wu Yaoming and the little girl in front appearing to be in a standoff, with continuous roars coming through, he grew a bit annoyed.
The Ferrari suddenly took a turn, then overtook on the right-hand side of the road. Chu Mo brought the Ferrari to a stop alongside the McLaren, after which he cast a nonchalant glance at Wu Yaoming, who was still furiously pressing the throttle.@@novelbin@@
It was just a light, fleeting glance!
Feeling Chu Mo’s gaze, Wu Yaoming, who had been impatient, immediately stopped what he was doing, and the engine’s roar that filled the racetrack ceased instantly!
Wu Yaoming immediately stopped the car and turned off the engine, with a trace of embarrassment and caution in his eyes, he nodded slightly towards Chu Mo as a gesture of goodwill, completely devoid of his earlier arrogance.
Chu Mo’s gaze retracted from Wu Yaoming and swept over the petite girl in front of the McLaren. He didn’t want this standoff to continue indefinitely, as Prince Dickbi’s car was waiting ahead, and Chu Mo didn’t wish to waste his valuable time because of an inconsequential young girl. He gently opened the passenger-side door and nodded to the stubbornly standing girl:
“Get in!”
The tearful girl immediately reached up to wipe her cheeks. She didn’t care if her makeup had been ruined by crying and quickly stepped into Chu Mo’s Ferrari, after closing the door, she quietly buckled her seat belt while gently sobbing.
With no more obstruction, the Ferrari and McLaren drove onto the racetrack, one after the other. The stubborn young cousin of the Wu family big son had by then controlled her emotions, ceasing to cry, and with a cautious expression on her face, she said softly after the Ferrari stopped on the track:
“I have nothing to do with that Capital City young master… I just heard from a girl that the young master from the Capital City, Yang Xuan, is very handsome, so I came here to play. I’m really innocent, please don’t punish our family… I’m only nineteen this year and still a student!”
The panic and fear were evident on the delicate face of the girl in the passenger seat. Her friends had already received calls from their families, and in just a short time, their family’s businesses had faced devastating blows. She didn’t want to follow in her friends’ footsteps.
Chu Mo’s eyes rested on Lu Siyue, the daughter of the Lu family beside the racetrack, clad in a chic cheongsam as she stood beside the track with her right hand raised high. Seven luxury cars on the track were ready, their low engines rumbling continually, just waiting for Lu Siyue’s white arm to signal the start of a rapid acceleration.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo gave one last look at the young girl beside him and said softly:
“I’ll give you a chance. If I manage to finish in the top three this time, your whole family will be safe.”
As he finished speaking, Chu Mo nodded at Lu Siyue on the sidelines of the track. Understanding immediately, Lu Siyue swiftly waved her white arm…
The next moment, a huge roar resounded over the whole race site!
