Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 55: The Legend of Bus Route 36

Halfway through the race, the competition gradually entered a fever pitch.

At this moment, the crowd at the foot of the mountain, aside from focusing on the current leader Jack and second-place Chen Sanye, had more of their gaze fixed on a battered used Santana.

For racing enthusiasts, the performance of the car directly impacts the final results.

Scenes like Xu Xiangbei driving a beat-up car crushing luxury cars left people in awe, exclaiming in excitement.

"What do you think, how high will this used Santana finish?"

"I guess breaking into the top ten is already impressive. You can see that this guy is a skilled driver. If he had a luxury car, he’d have a shot at first place."

"No matter how good the technique is or how wild the driving skill is, a poor car is no use at all. Our race never awards second place; only the champion can win the grand prize! He’s good, but compared to Jack and Chen Sanye, he’s still far behind."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, almost unanimously agreeing that Xu Xiangbei had outstanding driving skills, but none believed he could outperform Jack and Chen Sanye to win the championship.

Jack is an underground racing king from France, a former professional driver, with abilities far exceeding those of wealthy amateur racers.

As for Chen Sanye, he is a legend in Jiangcheng.

He used to be the driver of Route 36 bus. Don’t be fooled by his job as a bus driver; he was a renowned figure in Jiangcheng back in the day.

Seven years ago, a bus driver’s income was piece-rate; they earned for every round trip made along designated routes.

Bus drivers worked ten hours a day, the more trips they made, the higher their income.

In order to earn more, Chen Sanye drove a bus with the feel of a sports car. Imagine a massive bus weaving through smaller cars, overtaking continuously, and hardly ever braking except for traffic lights. You can see how extraordinary Chen Sanye’s driving skills were.

With his superb driving skills, Chen Sanye’s income was three times higher than his colleagues’!

And for five years, he never had a single traffic accident.

However, because of his reckless driving, every passenger riding Route 36 was terrified and complained bitterly.

Eventually, after collective complaints from the public, Chen Sanye was dismissed, and the government ordered a reform in the income model for bus drivers.

Two years ago, Jiangcheng’s buses stopped the mad overtaking and prioritized stability and safety, focusing on passenger safety, which finally slowed down the buses.

Today, although Chen Sanye is no longer a Route 36 bus driver, he has become a legendary figure in Jiangcheng.

Tonight, the crowd came to witness the showdown between Chen Sanye and Jack, which drew them here.

As for Xu Xiangbei, he was just a dark horse, a dessert before the main course.

However, just when everyone thought Xu Xiangbei couldn’t pose a threat to Jack and Chen Sanye, Xu Xiangbei’s subsequent performance left everyone dumbfounded.

Driving his beat-up used Santana, Xu Xiangbei repeatedly overtook cars on the curves, each maneuver breathtakingly thrilling, passing two or three sports cars at every turn.

After several corners, Xu Xiangbei, originally in the middle pack, astonishingly pushed into fourth place and began to break away from the second group, launching a powerful attack on the leading three sports cars!

"My God, is this guy even human? He doesn’t slow down at all in the corners?"

"This guy is insane, a lunatic with no fear of death!"

"The Santana has charged into fourth place. Is he planning to go head-to-head with Chen Sanye and Jack? This is incredible!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment, as the majority of their attention focused on the relentless overtaking Santana.

In racing, the biggest highlight is overtaking.

And every time Xu Xiangbei overtook, it gave people the feeling of riding a roller coaster, thinking an accident was inevitable the first second, heart racing with fright, then seeing him execute a perfect drift through the curve the next moment, pulling off the overtake, leaving viewers breathless.

"Damn it, this kid is amazing. Luckily, I brought Jack and Chen Sanye today, otherwise, this kid would take away the top prize!"

Hua Ji watched with a face ashen, crushing the Cuban cigar in his hand.

Looking at the race, it was nearing the end, with only five or six turns remaining before reaching the summit.

At this moment, Jack’s GTR still led the pack, with Chen Sanye’s BMW closely following, continuously launching attacks on Jack’s GTR. Every turn, Chen Sanye would deliberately edge closer, even causing slight collisions with Jack’s GTR. Unfortunately, Jack was no pushover, persistently seizing advantageous positions, forcing Chen Sanye to take longer routes. The two of them fought fiercely, preventing their full speed from being displayed.

The mutual interference between Jack and Chen Sanye offered Black Rose in third place a glimmer of hope for the championship. Her car was only 20 to 30 meters away from the top two, and in the remaining five or six stretches, there was still a chance to overtake and win.

In a normal scenario, given Black Rose’s skills, she couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the taillights of the top two. It was due to the rivalry between Jack and Chen Sanye that she was given a good opportunity.

Suddenly—

"Look, Jack forced Chen Sanye to stop!"

At the foot of the mountain, someone shouted in surprise.

Everyone focused their eyes and saw at a sharp corner on the mountain top, after Jack’s GTR successfully navigated the turn, he suddenly slowed down, forcing an unprepared Chen Sanye to halt.

Chen Sanye narrowly avoided a rear-end collision.

"That Jack is reckless too, risking being rear-ended just to force Chen Sanye to stop! Thankfully, Chen Sanye reacted swiftly, otherwise, there’d be a crash."

"Wow, putting Jack in such a tough spot, probably only Chen Sanye can do it! Unfortunately, now that Chen Sanye’s car is halted, the gap has widened, making it hard to overtake again."

The crowd engaged in lively discussion, nervously watching the track.

"Huh? Great, my chance is here!"

On the mountain road, Black Rose was frantically chasing the cars ahead. Suddenly seeing Chen Sanye’s BMW halted, she was overjoyed, stepping on the gas pedal, ready to make the overtake.

However, just then, Chen Sanye’s BMW suddenly swerved, positioning the car body horizontally on the mountain road, completely blocking the way ahead.

"Oh no!"

Black Rose was startled, instinctively turning the steering wheel and slamming on the brakes.

Creek...

Black Rose’s Ferrari skidded seven or eight meters and stopped perilously at the edge of the cliff, almost plummeting down.

"Young lady, no one dares to overtake Lao Zi’s car!"

The BMW’s window rolled down, and a plump, cigarette-biting middle-aged man sneered in the direction of the Ferrari, jerking the steering wheel to speed off after Jack.

Just then, a battered Santana came wobbling over at high speed, heading straight for Chen Sanye’s BMW coupe.

To everyone’s amazement, the Santana’s cabin was emitting white smoke, the headlights were broken, seemingly close to falling apart at any moment.

It was Xu Xiangbei’s car!
