"Stop with the nonsense, let's race and find out."

After Ye Qiu said this, Lin Jie's followers were momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter,

"No way, did I hear that right? This lady wants to race against Captain Lin Jie, is she out of her mind?"

"Kid, don't blame me for not warning you. Our Captain Lin Jie has skills that rank top in all of YN, are you unaware of that?"

Ye Qiu smiled faintly, "Indeed, I wasn't aware."

"Hmph, well then, let's have a race," Lin Jie snorted coldly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Just racing is quite bland, how about we add some stakes?"

"How would you like to bet?"

Hearing Lin Jie wanting to wager with him, Ye Qiu chuckled inwardly, also cursing Lin Jie's stupidity. Had he forgotten about Ye Qiu's driving skills?

Lin Jie laughed, saying, "Let's not bet on anything extravagant; we'll bet on the most basic thing. If I win, you bark like a dog and crawl in front of me."

"And if you lose?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"Lose? Lin Jie wouldn't lose."

Lin Jie's crony flattered him.

"Right, Lin Jie can't possibly lose. Kid, stop dreaming," someone else chimed in.

Ye Qiu ignored them, focusing on Lin Jie. Lin Jie said, "If you somehow win, I'll crawl in front of you and bark like a dog too."

"Haha, you're definitely going to learn to bark,"

Ye Qiu chuckled and then walked towards his Honda.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself," Lin Jie snorted coldly.

His cronies also showed disdainful looks, ready to watch Ye Qiu make a fool of himself.

Xu Jiao secretly laughed; although Lin Jie's driving skills were strong, compared to Ye Qiu's, he was far behind.

"I wonder how well Lin Jie can bark like a dog."

Xu Jiao was quite looking forward to seeing Lin Jie bark.

When Ye Qiu and Lin Jie drove their cars to the starting line, everyone was watching the two about to start the race, placing bets in the background.

But without any suspense, all the bets were on Lin Jie to win.

At this time, Xu Jiao placed a bet on Ye Qiu to win. Some people, puzzled, advised her, "Jiao Jie, you should bet on Captain Lin Jie to win; otherwise, you'll lose money in the end."

"Yeah, Jiao Jie, if you lose, we won't feel good about taking your money."

Xu Jiao smiled faintly, "If I don't bet, it seems you won't win any money. Don't worry about me; I'm betting on Ye Qiu to win anyway. Who said Ye Qiu will definitely lose in the end? We'll only know who's the winner after the race."

Though no one dared to refute Xu Jiao, they internally scoffed, planning to return Xu Jiao's money after winning it, since they wouldn't dare take her money — being the daughter of their boss, Mr. Xu.

Ye Qiu and Lin Jie started their cars, ready for the race. Lin Jie, through the car window, looked at the composed Ye Qiu in the Honda and said, "You're quite confident, huh? Though confidence is good, today I'll crush your confidence, face reality."

Ye Qiu didn't even glance at Lin Jie. He only smiled faintly; to him, this race posed no suspense, causing him not to place much importance on it.

Seeing Ye Qiu's disregard, Lin Jie's heart filled with anger, cursing, "Kid, I hope you remain this calm on the track."

"Don't you think you're talking too much?"

Ye Qiu frowned at Lin Jie, saying, "Instead of wasting this time on pointless talk, why not check your car carefully to avoid any mishaps during the race?"

Lin Jie retorted, "Hmph, my car has been modified by Huaxia's top tuning master and performs like a Level 3 sports car; you'd better worry about your own scrapped, second-hand car. Listen, its engine is barely running."

Ye Qiu smiled faintly without explaining further. Though his car wasn't as good, his skills far surpassed Lin Jie's. He might suffer on straights but would make Cheng Jie fear during the technical curves.

"I wonder how many Popularity Points and Experience Points I'll get this time."

For Ye Qiu, who aimed to quickly boost his skills, the opponent didn't matter; what mattered was how much experience he'd gain post-race.

With a boom, the race began.

Lin Jie's modified car was certainly superior, instantly pulling far ahead of Ye Qiu's old, second-hand Honda, as the engine roared off the start line.

With this stretch, the gap between them widened.

"Hmph, this is all he's got? Nothing special,"

Lin Jie internally mocked, accelerating further, intending to maintain his lead all the way to the finish.

Meanwhile, spectators saw Lin Jie's sports car pulling further from the trailing Honda, eyes lit with the expected outcome, as if everything was unfolding just as anticipated.

"Haha, look at that kid's car speed; it's really slow. Captain Lin Jie is nearing the first turn while he's still cruising along; a child could beat him."

"Haha, I'm really curious to see his reaction when he loses and whether he'll have the guts to stand before us."

"Ignorant folks," Xu Jiao remarked hearing the racers comment on Ye Qiu from the start; having watched Ye Qiu grow, she knew that starting slow meant brewing a storm.

"Here it comes."

True to Xu Jiao's thoughts, just as her notion hadn't faded, she saw Ye Qiu's Honda suddenly speed up and enter the curve, beginning a series of drifts straightaway, approaching Lin Jie within five or six meters, and overwriting the previous drift.

"Wow, amazing! That corner-taking — his control over the car is godlike!"

Xu Jiao's eyes shone in admiration.

The spectators were dumbfounded, watching the Honda that was initially distant close in on Lin Jie after entering the curve, tailing closely behind him, unsure of what to say.

"What did I just see? How many meters did that kid drift consecutively?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that kid drifted continuously for 20 meters; the whole curve was covered."'

"Gosh, is he human? What's his skill level? Wait, his name is Ye Qiu, is he?"

Momentarily, everyone recalled Ye Qiu's name; upon witnessing his car skills, their minds filled with the image of a figure they idolized as professional drivers.

"Is it really him?"

With curiosity and excitement, everyone watched Ye Qiu's Honda.
