"Car god North is here at East Ocean!"

"Didn't expect to meet Chen Xiangbei, he's China's first F1 tester."

"He's more than just a tester; he might become the first official driver!"

As various discussions are rising, many underground racers at the scene are getting increasingly excited.

Perhaps Chen Xiangbei's fame hasn't spread widely like that of Yao Ming or Liu Xiang, which causes Wang Fatty and Zhou Glasses to welcome him with banners, making outsiders look at them like they're fools.

But in the racing circle, Chen Xiangbei's name has become universally known.

For no other reason, the title of China's first F1 tester is just too loud!

Faced with the sudden "celebrity-chasing" scene, Chen Xiangbei was completely unprepared, not even expecting to be so famous in Hong Kong.

After being stunned for several seconds, he squeezed out an awkward smile to wave and say hello.

For the crowd watching, Zhang Zhendong was particularly thrilled; he didn't know how to make Chen Xiangbei agree to race, and the street racers came to assist.

The more people pay attention and care, the more likely Chen Xiangbei would be cornered into accepting.

After all, if news spread that a dignified F1 tester didn't dare to compete, would Chen Xiangbei handle the embarrassment?

While all the street racers were cheering joyfully, two more cars drove in front, one was an Audi R8 GT3, and the other a "suit thug" Mercedes S65 AMG.

The Audi R8 had a young guy in it, who got out to approach Zhang Zhendong and asked shoulder-to-shoulder, "Dong, what's up?"

"Ran into Chen Xiangbei, planning to race him."

Chen Xiangbei?

Upon hearing the name, the young guy's face lit up with joy, then turned to shout towards the Mercedes S65.

"Sis, Chen Xiangbei is also here!"

The voice was indeed loud, causing Chen Xiangbei to look over instinctively.

Only to see the privacy glass of the Mercedes S65's rear window roll down, revealing a familiar face — she's Chen Xiangbei's "old classmate" Dong Yuanxi.

They locked eyes across the distance, Chen Xiangbei was filled with surprise, how is Dong Yuanxi here?

In contrast, Dong Yuanxi's gaze was very complex, unclear what she was thinking at the moment.

"Chen Xiangbei, do you dare to race me?"

Seeing the timing was right, Zhang Zhendong deliberately raised his voice to question him.

Hearing Zhang Zhendong's words, the street racers originally indulging in "star-chasing" showed astonished expressions, looking at each other.

No wonder Zhang Zhendong's Porsche 997 was blocking the Volkswagen R36, turns out he was challenging Chen Xiangbei. And from his words and attitude, Chen Xiangbei dares not accept?

Wow, an F1 tester afraid to compete, really quite surprising.

"What's going on, Zhang Zhendong picking on Chen Xiangbei?"

"Zhang Zhendong's disapproval of Chen Xiangbei is already famous in the circle, you're only finding out now?"

"North is an F1 tester, surely he won't lose to Zhang Zhendong right."

"Formula racing and street racing are different, no guarantees."

The watching street racers were chattering non-stop, looking at Zhang Zhendong's smug expression, and Chen Xiangbei guessed the guy's intention.

"Not racing."

Without any hesitation, Chen Xiangbei once again refused.

He never planned on racing anyway, now with all the eyes on him, it's even less likely.

"Chen Xiangbei, I think you're truly afraid of losing."

Zhang Zhendong showed a contemptuous smile, continuing with provoking tactics.

Seeing the other relentless, Chen Xiangbei's expression turned cold.

Youthful arrogance is understandable, but when someone lacks respect, that's too much.

Calmly he replied, "It's not that I'm afraid, but..."

"You're not qualified!"

Before Chen Xiangbei could utter these three words, a nearby voice spoke in sync for him, though the Chinese pronunciation wasn't very precise.

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Xiangbei looked back, a smile appearing on his face.

Seems today is truly a "good day of encounters," so many old acquaintances showing up.

No doubt, the newcomer was none other than Chen Xiangbei's "old classmate" from Japan, Hoshino Yoshi!

Once on the Suzuka Circuit, Chen Xiangbei stepped up to race for Hoshino Yoshi.

Now today, Hoshino Yoshi intended to repay the favor.

Besides, Hoshino Yoshi's "spoken proxy" wasn't meant to insult Zhang Zhendong, rather it was a truthful statement!

A touring car racer choosing to challenge an F1 tester, what was this guy thinking?

No need for Chen Xiangbei to bother, he could handle it himself.

"If you beat me, you'll qualify to race Xiangbei-kun."

Hoshino Yoshi stood before Zhang Zhendong and replied in English.

For Hoshino Yoshi, Zhang Zhendong also knew him — former Japanese F1 driver Suzuki Aguri's pupil, serving as a substitute driver for the ARTA team this time.

"Chen Xiangbei, if I beat him, will you accept the challenge?"

Zhang Zhendong ignored Hoshino Yoshi and instead asked Chen Xiangbei.

His goal was always to race Chen Xiangbei.

"No problem."

This time, Chen Xiangbei agreed without hesitation.

The reason is simple; Zhang Zhendong at present is definitely no match for Hoshino Yoshi, no matter what car he races!

With Chen Xiangbei's assurance, Zhang Zhendong wasted no time and got into his Porsche 997.

Hoshino Yoshi nodded to Chen Xiangbei, turned, and entered ARTA team's dedicated race car, the so-called "Japanese Ferrari" Honda NSX.

Their strong duel instantly captivated the underground racers' attention, while Chen Xiangbei informed Qin Lianjie before getting out and heading towards the nearby Mercedes S65.

Seeing this, Dong Yuanxi got out too, wearing a white dress today, looking serene and elegant. The distant sea breeze swept over, lifting her hair to dance with the wind, adding a unique sense of beauty.

"Chen Xiangbei, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see."
