Ye Qiu felt a stir of excitement after Situ Yang spoke to him about this matter.
Although the Celestial Dragon Racing Team couldn't compare to the Highway Hero Team he was once a part of, he understood that this was because Huaxia's professional racing started late and was not yet on par with other countries.
Even though the Celestial Dragon was not as strong as the team he was with in the past, it was considered one of the top teams in the hearts of Huaxia's professional racing drivers.
Indeed, as the number one ranked team among the thirty teams of the Huaxia Professional Racing Alliance, the Celestial Dragon Racing Team was a place that Huaxia's professional racing drivers longed for, akin to a sacred ground.
Numerous people racked their brains and trained desperately, eager to join this team. So upon hearing Situ Yang directly invite him to join Celestial Dragon, Ye Qiu felt somewhat tempted.
But the reason he didn't immediately agree and hesitated was that he had been hurt before. When choosing a team again, he would not be as hasty.
A team's strength or weakness aside, what Ye Qiu needed first to join a team was peace of mind and personal recognition.
Ye Qiu had absolute confidence in his own abilities, especially with the help of the system. Even if he joined a team that wasn't considered strong, he could lead it to become Huaxia's top team, and even the number one in the Asian region, or even the world… number one!
...
Ye Qiu didn't voice his thoughts, so Situ Yang and the others naturally couldn't know. Seeing Ye Qiu remain silent, Luo Yun frowned slightly and said anxiously, "Ye Qiu, stop thinking about it, joining the Celestial Dragon Racing Team is an opportunity, after all, how many people in Huaxia want to join, you shouldn't miss it."
"Yeah, Ye Qiu, make your decision quickly. I might join the Celestial Dragon Racing Team someday. It's not something that requires an assessment. You've been directly invited, so make your decision quickly."
Wang Xinrui said.
Luo Bing hesitated for a moment and said to Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, go with your gut. Even if it's the top team, if you're not satisfied after joining, you won't be happy."
Upon hearing Luo Bing's words, Ye Qiu looked up at Luo Bing, and meeting her sparkling eyes for a moment made Luo Bing blush, and Ye Qiu quickly looked away.
"Xiao Bing, what are you talking about? How could Ye Qiu not be happy joining the Celestial Dragon Racing Team? That's a dream place for many, the strongest team in Huaxia."
Luo Yun scolded Luo Bing, then anxiously said to Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, listen to your Uncle Luo, hurry and agree to it."
Hearing Luo Yun's words, Ye Qiu looked up at Luo Yun and saw the concern in his eyes, which was different from the previous disdain, now more like caring for a junior.
Ye Qiu felt puzzled in his heart and then turned his gaze to Situ Yang, who looked expectantly at him.
Situ Yang returned Ye Qiu's gaze with a smile and extended his hand, saying, "Ye Qiu, the Celestial Dragon Racing Team welcomes you."
Ye Qiu was stunned and was about to speak when the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and Situ Xin, his hand wrapped in white gauze, stormed in angrily.
Upon entering, he pointed angrily at Ye Qiu and said, "Brother, why? Why did you invite him, Ye Qiu, to join the Celestial Dragon directly, while you never let me join?"
Ye Qiu glanced at Situ Xin and said, "You came at the right time. I want to collect on our bet now."
Saying this, Ye Qiu got up and walked towards Situ Xin.
"Ye Qiu, hold on." Situ Yang anxiously tried to dissuade him.
Ye Qiu turned around coldly and said, "What? Are you going to shield your brother?"
Situ Yang heard this and was at a loss for words for a moment.
Seeing Situ Yang speechless, Luo Yun hurriedly got up and said, "Ye Qiu, let it go. You've already incapacitated one of Situ Xin's arms, there's no need to be so merciless."
Luo Yun thought that since Situ Yang had invited Ye Qiu to join the Celestial Dragon Racing Team, if Ye Qiu broke Situ Xin's other arm, Situ Yang might not allow Ye Qiu to join.
However, Ye Qiu was unaware of Luo Yun's thinking. After Luo Yun spoke, he merely chuckled coldly and shook his head, saying, "A bet is a bet. If you lose, you must face the consequences."
With that, he ignored Luo Yun and Situ Yang, heading towards Situ Xin.
Luo Yun and Situ Yang wanted to say something but didn't know what to say at the moment.
Luo Yun, anxious, watched as Ye Qiu pressed forward on Situ Xin and saw Situ Xin retreating continuously. Looking at Situ Yang's grim expression, Luo Yun thought about it and went to Luo Bing's side, saying, "Xiao Bing, persuade Ye Qiu, let him..."
"Dad, I can't control what Ye Qiu wants to do, nor do I have the right to."
Luo Bing said, looking at Ye Qiu's back.
Luo Yun was taken aback, "No right? Aren't you and Ye Qiu?"
"Ah…"
At this moment, before Luo Yun could finish speaking, Situ Xin's scream rang out, causing Luo Yun to swallow back his words.
He looked, somewhat stunned, at the now-crying-out-in-pain Situ Xin on the ground with another arm broken by Ye Qiu.
Swallowing hard, Luo Yun looked at Ye Qiu's back, sighing in his heart, "Ah, you young rascal, your temper is just like your old man's."
Thinking this, Luo Yun looked at Situ Yang and saw Situ Yang's difficult expression, inwardly sighing that it was bad; surely Situ Yang would not let Ye Qiu join the Celestial Dragon Racing Team now, and might even cause trouble for Ye Qiu.
Thinking of this, Luo Yun hesitated but was about to plead with Situ Yang. However, Situ Yang then spoke, "Ye Qiu, your bet has been collected. Now I ask, do you still want to join the Celestial Dragon Racing Team?"
"What? Still let Ye Qiu join?"
Everyone was astonished, looking at Situ Yang incredulously. They didn't expect Situ Yang would invite Ye Qiu to join after Ye Qiu broke Situ Xin's two arms.
Ye Qiu was also a bit stunned, thinking for a moment that Situ Yang actually seemed like a decent person.
However, Situ Xin was extremely angry at this moment, he glared at Ye Qiu and shouted angrily at Situ Yang: "Why, big brother? He broke both my arms, why do you still want him to join the Celestial Dragon Racing Team."
"Shut up, you brought it all on yourself."
Situ Yang snapped angrily.
"Big brother, I'm a Situ, we are family, I'm your brother, how can you side with outsiders? Big brother, why are you so biased, ah big brother, what are you doing?"
As Situ Xin continued to babble on, Situ Yang walked over to him, then swung his fine palm onto Situ Xin's face, giving him a fierce slap.
Listening to the slapping sounds and watching Situ Xin's face swell to look like a pig's head, Ye Qiu and the others shuddered.
Is this his own brother? That's really brutal.
"Do you know why I'm hitting you?"
After hitting him so that his face was red and swollen, and Situ Xin was bewildered, Situ Yang stopped and asked.
Situ Xin looked at Situ Yang in fright, shook his head with a whimper.
Situ Yang said: "Since you know you belong to the Situ family, you should understand what our family's status is. Outside, you must do everything to uphold the fame of our family, but look at what you have done over the years, I won't even talk about it. But just now, you used such despicable means in the race against Ye Qiu?
You can lose, but you must lose honorably. Our Situ family isn't afraid of losing, but if we lose, it must be with dignity. Do you understand?"
Listening to Situ Yang's words, Situ Xin lowered his head weakly and said: "Big brother, I was wrong."
"Okay."
Seeing Situ Xin admit his mistake, a softness flashed in Situ Yang's eyes. He then said: "Go to the hospital later and get checked."
After saying that, he turned to look at Ye Qiu and the others staring at him like he was a monster, shrugged and embarrassedly laughed: "Haha, sorry about that, just dealing with some family matter."
Ye Qiu and the others were speechless, and at this moment Situ Yang asked Ye Qiu: "So, Ye Qiu, have you made up your mind?"
After Situ Yang asked, everyone again focused their gaze on Ye Qiu.
This time, under everyone's surprised stares, Ye Qiu shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not joining."
After Ye Qiu spoke, everyone in the room, including Situ Yang, was dumbfounded.
Not joining? Turning down a team like the Celestial Dragon Racing Team which is the top team in Huaxia?
Is he crazy, or sick?
"Ye Qiu, think carefully!" Luo Yun said.
Ye Qiu shook his head.
"Ye Qiu, are you sure about your decision?" Wang Xinrui said.
Ye Qiu smiled at her.
"As long as you're happy, Ye Qiu." Luo Bing said.
Ye Qiu looked at Luo Bing and nodded slightly, causing her face to blush.
"Alright, I understand!" Situ Yang seemed to figure something out after pausing for a while, nodded and said something that puzzled others in the room: "Seems like you've been deeply hurt before."
Ye Qiu gave Situ Yang a deep look, smiled but said nothing, and was about to turn around and leave. Just then, Situ Yang suddenly stopped Ye Qiu and asked: "Interested in racing against me?"
Ye Qiu slowly turned around, stared at Situ Yang for a while, then nodded slightly: "I'm very interested."
...
At the Automobile Guild's assessment track, a full course of 1900 meters, with 13 turns, including 1 high-difficulty technical turn.
At this time, Ye Qiu was driving Ye Yu's McLaren because his pickup truck could still technically drive, but not very fast, or else it might truly be scrapped.
Situ Yang was driving his Wiesmann GT, the two of them were side by side at the starting point of the track.
There were no spectators nearby, only Luo Yun, Luo Bing, Wang Xinrui, Ye Lei, Ye Yu, and one Situ Xin.
Situ Yang in the Wiesmann GT adjusted his car and then turned to look at Ye Qiu in the car beside him, Ye Qiu also turned his head at this moment.
Situ Yang smiled slightly and nodded at Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu also smiled and nodded.
Then the two of them looked at Ye Lei who began counting down in front of them, and as Ye Lei counted down from one, the two supercars kicked up a storm like dragons emerging from the sea, racing rapidly towards the distance…
