Chapter 323: Interception

Xu Xiangbei laughed and said, "The sound of this engine is deeper and more pleasing than before, like a series of rolling thunders. It is said that a person matches their name, and actually, a car matches its name too. My car is called Thunderclap, and the engine truly sounds like a thunderclap in the plains."

He stepped on the gas, and Thunderclap shot out of the repair shop like a streak of light.

Driving Thunderclap, Xu Xiangbei drove a few laps around the spacious repair factory. Due to limited conditions, it couldn’t reach the modified top speed of 400 miles per hour, but the brakes, throttle, transmission, and other systems were running smoothly.

Xu Xiangbei confidently clenched his fist: "I will definitely win this race. Qian Feng, Hua Ji, come watch me race."

Hua Ji waved his hand and said tiredly, "I’m too exhausted and need to rest. I can’t go watch you race. I’ll wish you victory in advance.

Since Hua Ji was too tired to go, Qian Feng also decided not to go to the Earth Sea Sports Hall. He had a lot to talk about with Hua Ji and stayed to keep him company.

On the way to Earth Sea Sports Hall from the repair shop, Xu Xiangbei felt that the modified Porsche was significantly faster. Initially, the gear stick was a bit stiff, but after modifications, gear shifting was as smooth as flowing clouds, without the slightest hindrance.

He silently admired Brother Hua Ji’s car modification skills. Hua Ji was truly a brother, traveling a great distance by plane to help with the car modifications, which was deeply touching.

Besides Brother Hua Ji’s help, Xu Xiangbei also needed another person to win the race, and that was Liu Ningyan.

Liu Ningyan didn’t go to the Earth Sea Sports Hall, yet she had the clearest view and a critical role.

She hacked into the city’s traffic surveillance network, carefully observing the road conditions of three routes. Every traffic camera was her eyes, and any slight disturbance would be relayed to Xu Xiangbei via his phone.

Xu Xiangbei called Liu Ningyan to ask about the situation: "I’m about to arrive at Earth Sea Sports Hall. What’s the situation over there?"

From the Bluetooth headset came Liu Ningyan’s elegant and pleasant voice: "The surveillance camera resolution at the east gate of the sports hall isn’t high, but I can see that Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin have arrived. Qin Daming’s car is also here. His Lamborghini just parked, and there’s a Mercedes SUV following behind. Plus, there are some spectators who got wind of the event and came to watch the excitement."

When Xu Xiangbei arrived at the sports hall, it was already past eleven forty, with more than ten minutes to midnight.

His silver Porsche had just stopped when a wave of exclamations rose around. Onlookers gazed enviously, expressing how cool the car was.

Ouyang Jiahui was the first to run over, excitedly touching the car body: "Brother Xu, you’ve actually bought another Porsche, exactly like your previous one. When Xiao Lin told me, I couldn’t believe it, but it’s true."

Xu Xiangbei flicked her upturned nose: "Of course it’s true, my dear niece. Do you want to sit in the front passenger seat?"

Ouyang Jiahui shook her head. Xu Xiangbei drove aggressively even on normal days, and with a race, who knew what would happen? Sitting in the passenger seat felt like riding a roller coaster, unbearable for anyone.

Seeing Xu Xiangbei arrive as promised, Qin Daming flashed a shadowy, cold smile: "Dr. Xu, why are you so late? I thought you were too scared to come. There’s just ten minutes to midnight, and you’re really dawdling."

Xu Xiangbei retorted, "What’s the use of arriving early? Arriving early doesn’t guarantee victory, as long as I’m not late."

Seeing the sense in Xu Xiangbei’s words, Qin Daming could only give a cold snort to show his displeasure.

Xu Xiangbei’s gaze swept over the Mercedes car. A strong man sat in the driver’s seat, conversing with someone in the backseat.

Just as Xu Xiangbei was curious, the back door of the Mercedes SUV slowly opened, and out came a gentle and elegant young man, wearing a Versace striped suit, with a lazy demeanor.

With many cars gathered and their engines still running, they emitted a large amount of exhaust, which was very unpleasant. The young man used a handkerchief to cover his nose as he walked over.

His sharp eyes assessed Xu Xiangbei, forming a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "You must be Dr. Xu Xiangbei?"

"I am Xu Xiangbei, and who are you?"

His fingers were as fair and slender as a woman’s: "I am Shen Congru, a friend of Daming. No need to be nervous. I’m not here to cause trouble, just to act as a witness—your race’s judge. I won’t favor either side."

Xu Xiangbei smiled: "I hope you’ll keep your word."

Shen Congru chuckled dryly: "Rest assured, my reputation in Earth Sea is quite decent."

Xu Xiangbei glanced at his watch and with a face full of disdain said to Qin Daming: "There’s still two minutes until the race. If you regret it and want to withdraw, now’s your chance. Don’t end up crying when you lose."

Qin Daming laughed nastily: "I was just about to say that to you."

Xu Xiangbei shrugged: "I’m just being kind. If you don’t listen, then forget it. Get in the car, and let’s prepare to race."

The Lamborghini and Porsche both ignited, their engines roaring with deafening sounds.

A slender woman wearing a bikini strutted up to the front of the cars, twirling her willowy waist. She raised a pink handkerchief and swung it down fiercely.

Whoosh, the two cars charged onto the street like fierce leopards.

Familiar with the routes near the sports hall, Qin Daming’s Lamborghini took the lead, with Xu Xiangbei’s Porsche tightly behind, competing for every second, refusing to yield an inch.

Xu Xiangbei heard Liu Ningyan’s voice in his ear: "Prepare to turn at the end of the street, and take Route B. That route is closest to the West Suburb Zoo. Route A has too many large trucks, which will slow you down and is unsafe. Route B is the best choice."

Xu Xiangbei hoped Qin Daming would take Route A. Soon he realized that Qin Daming also took Route B. Clearly, he, like him, had planned the route early on.

Route B had narrow roads with many intersections and countless parked cars along the street, all hindering the race, preventing Xu Xiangbei from overtaking.

On the quiet streets of the early morning, the Lamborghini accelerated as if insane, seemingly reaching at least 200 miles. The engine’s roar was particularly piercing on the empty streets.

Xu Xiangbei slowly pressed down on the throttle, ensuring he didn’t fall too far behind, waiting to overtake when the road widened.

Suddenly, two medium-sized trucks burst out from the alleyways on both sides of the road, blocking Xu Xiangbei’s path.

Xu Xiangbei slammed on the brakes and sharply turned the wheel. The Porsche emitted an ear-piercing screech as it spun twice on the street before barely stopping. The car’s body was parallel to the trucks, only a fist’s distance away, almost crashing into the trucks.

No need to guess; it was clear these two trucks were sent by Qin Daming to block Xu Xiangbei.
