Lin Jie was filled with shock when Ye Qiu used that consecutive drift to catch up to him.
He himself couldn't execute a consecutive drift right from the start of the turn like Ye Qiu just did.
"This is..."
Lin Jie looked at Ye Qiu gradually catching up from behind. Although shocked, he reminded himself that this was a race and he couldn't afford to lose. So he gritted his teeth, continued to accelerate, and decided not to give up.
Roar.
His car charged forward, pulling away from Ye Qiu again in an instant.
"Hmph, despite your skills, your car's performance is your..." Lin Jie was just about to sneer when Ye Qiu's Honda suddenly surged forward, catching him off guard. "What the hell is this?"
Inside the Honda, Ye Qiu had activated Super Driving through the Popularity Points given by those who had just expressed astonishment at him.
Not wanting to waste too much time with Lin Jie, the moment Super Driving was activated, Ye Qiu overtook Lin Jie.
As Ye Qiu's car passed Lin Jie's, he flipped him off, and then with a roar, the Honda sped ahead, getting faster and faster until Lin Jie couldn't see it anymore.
Lin Jie pulled over to the side of the road, staring at Ye Qiu, who was nearing the finish line, with indescribable amazement.
"How is he so fast? How is he able to do that? How could that car possibly reach such a speed?"
Lin Jie swallowed hard, eyes wide with disbelief, not understanding how he lost.
Ye Qiu reached the finish line and got out of the car to Xu Jiao's cheers, then embraced her in a bear hug.
Feeling Xu Jiao's soft body, Ye Qiu was momentarily dazed, and Xu Jiao seemed to notice, blushed, and quickly stepped back.
At this moment, Lin Jie's men surrounded Ye Qiu.
"What do you want to do?"
Ye Qiu watched these people surrounding him with vigilance, frowned, and asked in a less than friendly tone.
The men exchanged glances, and finally, one stepped forward and asked, "Are you Ye Qiu?"
Ye Qiu was taken aback, then nodded, "Of course I'm Ye Qiu."
"Really, are you really Ye Qiu? You're not lying to us?"
"Why would I lie to you? I am Ye Qiu. I haven't changed my name. Could there be any doubt?" Ye Qiu said, not understanding what these people wanted.
"Wow, you really are Ye Qiu, the masked driver from the United States' Highway Hero?"
"Masked driver?"
Ye Qiu shook his head and looked at the disappointed crowd with a faint smile, "That was in the past. Now, I'm just Ye Qiu and have nothing to do with the Highway Hero Team."
Hearing Ye Qiu confirm his identity, these people were filled with excitement. Someone, not sure who, led the crowd in lifting Ye Qiu up high.
Ye Qiu initially planned to resist, but seeing their heartfelt excitement, he accepted it despite his confusion.
After a while, Ye Qiu was put down and looked at them, asking, "Why are you so excited to see me?"
"Yes, all of us really admire you."
"Oh no, not just us here, but almost everyone involved in professional racing in Huaxia admires you."
"Uh, do I really have that much charm and fame?"
Ye Qiu scratched his head, genuinely not knowing he had such high popularity in Huaxia and so many people admired him.
Moreover, Ye Qiu could tell their admiration was genuine and deep-rooted.
"You needn't doubt, virtually everyone in my team is your fan, idolizing you, aiming to surpass you."
At this time, Lin Jie's voice came, and Ye Qiu turned to look at him.
Lin Jie looked at the young lad in front of him, still couldn't believe it, shook his head, and said, "It's hard to believe someone so seasoned on the track, like a seasoned driver of decades, is so young. It's laughable I thought I could compete with you."
Lin Jie's face flashed with self-mockery, "If I'd known you were Ye Qiu, even if you killed me, I wouldn't have confidently vowed I'd win."
"But getting to run with you, seeing your skills, I'm satisfied, and it's an honor to have raced you, even though I lost with honor."
As Lin Jie spoke, he was about to kneel in front of Ye Qiu and imitate a dog.
But at that moment, Ye Qiu grabbed his shoulders.
"Hm?" Lin Jie looked at Ye Qiu in confusion.
Ye Qiu said, "Forget about the bet earlier. You don't have to imitate a dog."
"No way, a bet's a bet. I must fulfill it."
Although touched, Lin Jie was still going to kneel and bark like a dog.
"I said forget it." Ye Qiu squinted his eyes, saying coldly.
Lin Jie, seeing Ye Qiu's sharp eyes, shuddered, nodded, and quickly got up, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We'll be working together for a while," Ye Qiu said.
"Oh?" Lin Jie asked.
Xu Jiao said, "It's like this, Ye Qiu was hired by my father as a delivery driver. He wants you to help and might entrust important deliveries to Ye Qiu in the future."
Lin Jie understood Xu Jiao's implication, looked deeply at Ye Qiu, then nodded, "Okay, come with me, and I'll explain things to you."
Xu Jiao said, "Then I'll be going. I won't be joining you two."
Xu Jiao left, and Ye Qiu and Lin Jie headed towards Lin Jie's office area.
Once inside, Lin Jie inspected the room, then looked at Ye Qiu, suddenly drawing a gun from behind and pressing it to Ye Qiu's head, "Tell me, who are you really? Are you an undercover cop?"
Ye Qiu frowned, wondering what Lin Jie was playing at, and surprised at how close his assumption was.
However, confident he hadn't shown any flaws, he shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about, and how can I possibly be an undercover cop? Do I look like a cop to you? And you should know, I grew up in the United States, how could Huaxia's police use me?"
Lin Jie's brows furrowed, thinking, "Could it be he's not?"
Then he steadied the gun at Ye Qiu, "Not admitting it? Fine, then you die today."
As he was about to shoot, Ye Qiu disarmed him, then kicked Lin Jie to the ground.
Ye Qiu swiftly moved in front of Lin Jie, stepped on his chest, aimed the gun at him, and said, "What the hell are you playing at?"
Lin Jie looked at Ye Qiu deeply, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "White Shark."
