Chapter 50: Winning Big with Small
Chapter 50: Winning Big with Small
"Don’t be impulsive, we’re law-abiding citizens!"
After Hua Ji said something that could make people burst into laughter, he walked up to the Ferrari with a serious expression and grinned at Xu Xiangbei, "Buddy, it seems like you’ve taken a liking to Black Rose, huh? Coincidentally, I also like ’getting on’ her! And I’ve made a bet with her, in tonight’s drag race, if I win against her, she’s going to spend the night with me. How about it, want to hear her moaning in bed? If you do, just stay in the room next to mine tonight, I’ll make sure she screams so loud the whole building can hear!"
Xu Xiangbei slightly raised his head, looked around, and then glanced around with an oblivious expression, "Who’s talking?"
"You..."
Hua Ji had been brewing his lines for a while, intending to provoke Xu Xiangbei, but Xu Xiangbei completely ignored him.
Ignoring someone is the greatest humiliation to them!
"I’m right here!"
Hua Ji forcefully slapped the car door of the Ferrari, gritting his teeth, "Am I really that short?"
"Oh, there’s someone here! Little buddy, what grade are you in?"
Xu Xiangbei got out of the car, looked down at Hua Ji, who was wearing height-enhancing shoes yet only reached 1.5 meters, and revealed a kindly smile.
"Coward!"
Hua Ji shivered with anger but dared not lay a hand on Xu Xiangbei, fuming as he turned to leave, "I knew trash like you wouldn’t dare to compete."
"Black Rose, is it true that anyone who beats you gets to have babies with you?"
Xu Xiangbei shamelessly looked at Black Rose with a playful gaze.
Black Rose glared at Xu Xiangbei and nodded, half-smiling, "We’re headed to the mountain road; if you’re not afraid to die, come on then."
Xu Xiangbei’s eyes lit up; he immediately turned and beckoned to Hua Ji, "Hey, shorty, I’ve decided to join the race tonight."
"Oh?"
Hua Ji was overjoyed inside, gleefully stepped up to Xu Xiangbei, "Alright, kiddo, our entry fee is ten thousand bucks cash; since you’re a newbie, I’ll just charge you five thousand. By the way, if you manage to clinch first place, the prize is a cool one million yuan!"
"What? The entry fee is five thousand bucks?"
Xu Xiangbei was taken aback, got back in the car without looking back, started the engine, ready to leave.
"Don’t, don’t leave..."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei about to leave, Hua Ji hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Originally intending to make more money off the entry fee, he didn’t expect Xu Xiangbei to be so stingy; upon hearing the fee was five thousand bucks, he turned away immediately, not leaving room for negotiation.
Vroom!
Rumble!
At that moment, over a dozen motorcycles roared in, men and women alike, every one wearing leather jackets, studded leather shoes, and necklaces as thick as fingers.
"Black Rose."
"Rose, why is Hua Ji here too?"
The leader, a man with short gray hair, muscular build, looking somewhat like a low-end version of Takeshi Kaneshiro, quite handsome.
Upon seeing Hua Ji and the others, he frowned slightly in displeasure.
"Ah Jun, we’re not racing in the underground tunnel tonight. The traffic cops have been cracking down hard these days; I’ve agreed with Hua Ji to race again, as long as we win, the mountain road will be ours from now on."
Black Rose spoke up.
"Rose, don’t be foolish. If we’re racing on the road, our motorcycles leave them in the dust, three streets away, there’s no way they can outrun us. But on a mountain road, they might intentionally collide with us, making it impossible for motorcycles to race normally; any collision could send someone off a cliff and cause fatalities."
Ah Jun, the man of many monikers, shook his head with furrowed brows, seemingly unwilling to compete.
"Worst case, we’ll drive cars too; our skills aren’t bad."
Black Rose seemed somewhat dissatisfied, "If you don’t want to race, I can race alone; there’s no problem."
Swish swish swish.
Instantly, all eyes focused on Ah Jun’s face.
"Alright, let’s race."
Ah Jun hesitated for a moment, got off his Tomahawk motorcycle, gritted his teeth, "But I usually play with two wheels more than four, got only one modified sports car at home barely good enough for the stage; you got a car on your end?"
Black Rose furrowed her brows in a dilemma.
Hua Ji’s driver is top-notch and drives a modified top-tier sports car. If Black Rose drives a clunker wanting to win, it’s almost impossible.
Only a modified top-tier race car has a fighting chance.
But, she usually doesn’t like driving, neither has a race car ready at home.
"Hey, Xu Xiangbei, right? You’re not racing?"
Suddenly, Black Rose seemed to recall something, turned to closely examine the Ferrari Xu Xiangbei was driving, even lifted the hood to inspect the parts inside, growing more satisfied the longer she looked.
"Tsk tsk, the entry fee is too steep; five thousand bucks! If I have ten thousand, how many bowls of spicy hot pot could I eat!"
Xu Xiangbei earnestly looked at Black Rose.
"How about this, you rent the car to me for a night, I’ll give you five thousand bucks. If it gets damaged, I’ll compensate double; how does that sound?"
Black Rose sweetly smiled at Xu Xiangbei, casting a flirty glance.
Xu Xiangbei is a man of strong resolve, especially after spending time with the Gu Family Sisters these days, he’s developed a strong resistance to beauties.
Therefore, he almost agreed without hesitation.
No way, his habit of seeing money as life is something ingrained from the womb, unchangeable.
"Get out."
Black Rose directly opened the car door and dragged Xu Xiangbei out.
"Sir, might as well join the race; win it and pocket one million yuan, an opportunity not to be missed!"
Hua Ji rushed forward, coaxing earnestly.
"Alright."
Xu Xiangbei rubbed his hands together, agreeing readily.
Black Rose agreed to pay him five thousand bucks as rental fee, and the entry fee was also five thousand, canceling each other out, meaning Xu Xiangbei could compete without spending a dime, eyeing the one million yuan prize!
Such a good deal, he naturally would not miss!
"Tonight at eight, on the mountain road, see you there!"
Hua Ji firmly grasped Xu Xiangbei’s hand, looking at him as if eyeing a whole box full of hundred-dollar bills.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be there on time."
Xu Xiangbei smiled and nodded, suddenly asked, "By the way, there’s no requirement for the race car, right? I mean, I could rent the cheapest car from a rental company and still compete, right?"
Huh?
"Hahaha, where’d this bumpkin come from? Really cracks me up!"
"Rent a junk car and still want to race? Has this kid had too much to drink?"
"This guy’s Ferrari must be stolen, saying such idiotic stuff!"
Ah Jun and his group of over a dozen motorcycle gang members all laughed heartily, without mercy.
"It’s possible."
Hua Ji stifled his laughter, nodded reluctantly, "It’s about participation, after all."
Xu Xiangbei remained indifferent to the group’s mockery, glanced at the time, turned to smile at Black Rose, "Hey beauty, we’re still early, how about I treat you to spicy hot pot? If not, roadside skewers will do, all-you-can-eat!"
"Get lost!"
