"Marriage? With Luo Bing..."

Ye Qiu was a bit dumbfounded, his mouth agape, looking at Luo Yun who was smiling at him from across the table, unsure of what to say!

"That's right, Ye Qiu. If not with Luo Bing, then who else?" Luo Yun laughed.

But seeing Ye Qiu's shocked expression, he shook his head and said, "Ye Qiu, the way Uncle Luo treated you earlier was my fault; I apologize to you here."

As he spoke, Luo Yun stood up, bent over, and apologized to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu was startled. Who was Luo Yun? He was the president of the Automobile Guild, and he was actually apologizing to him now, and talking about marrying Luo Bing?

Ye Qiu hurriedly stood up, quickly helping the bowing Luo Yun, and said with a wry smile, "What are you doing? What happened earlier is already in the past; I've forgotten it all."

"Ahaha, forgotten is good, forgotten is good."

Luo Yun laughed, then pulled Ye Qiu to sit beside him and asked, "Ye Qiu, you haven't answered me yet. How far have you and Xiao Bing progressed in your relationship? Have you decided when to get married?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this question again from Luo Yun, Ye Qiu was speechless.

However, Luo Yun said, "If you haven't decided, then let me help you set a date."

"No, no, President Luo, it's not what you think. Luo Bing and I are actually just classmates," Ye Qiu finished in one breath, seeing the surprised expression on Luo Yun's face, he nodded with a wry smile, "President Luo, what I'm saying is true. Luo Bing and I are just classmates, and it's only been a few days since we've formally known each other."

"What? What's going on?" Luo Yun looked puzzled.

Ye Qiu sighed and then explained how he saved Luo Bing and so on, omitting those ambiguous things.

"So that's it."

Luo Yun was somewhat disappointed and fell into silence.

Seeing the sky darkening outside, Ye Qiu stood up and said, "President Luo, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

"Hey, wait a moment, Ye Qiu..."

Ye Qiu looked at Luo Yun in confusion.

Luo Yun pulled out an envelope from his chest pocket.

"It's with you..." Ye Qiu blurted as he saw the envelope that his father gave him was now in Luo Yun's hands.

"It's indeed yours," Luo Yun said.

"Indeed?" Ye Qiu was puzzled.

Luo Yun treated the envelope like a treasure, holding it with both hands as he handed it back to Ye Qiu, then asked, "How is your father doing now?"

Ye Qiu was taken aback, not understanding why Luo Yun suddenly asked about his father, but after pondering for a while, he replied, "My dad, he drinks every day now... Not in a good state."

Thinking of his rather disheartened father, Ye Qiu sighed inwardly.

"Sigh, hasn't he recovered from the blow back then?" Luo Yun sighed upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, then asked Ye Qiu, "What is your father doing now?"

Ye Qiu replied, "He's opened a tofu shop in Minshan County."

"A tofu shop?" Luo Yun was shocked, a mocking smile filled his heart, "Haha, the man who once dominated the racing world is now selling tofu?"

"Is it at the Tianxiong Tofu Shop in Minshan?" Luo Yun asked.

Ye Qiu nodded.

After thinking for a while, Luo Yun said, "Alright, you go back first. Tell your father that I'll find time to visit him."

"Huh? Oh!" Ye Qiu was a bit puzzled as to why the president of the Automobile Guild, Luo Yun, would want to visit his disheartened father, but he didn't ask further and left Luo Yun's room.

As the room door closed, Luo Yun slumped on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, muttering to himself, "Master, I've finally found you, but I don't know if you are willing to see me..."

...

Ye Qiu walked to his pickup truck, exchanged a few words with Luo Bing, and thinking about how Luo Yun wanted him to marry Luo Bing earlier, it made him feel awkward when he saw her; thus, he hastily left under Luo Bing's resentful gaze.

The pickup slowly arrived at the Automobile Guild's front gate, and Ye Qiu saw the guard who was kind enough to dissuade him earlier.

That guard had also been following today's events on the racing forum, so now seeing Ye Qiu, whom he had underestimated earlier, along with his humble pickup truck, he felt awkward.

"Uncle, you've worked hard, I'm leaving now." Ye Qiu thought the guard was a decent person, so when passing by, he lowered the car window to greet him.

The guard shook his head with a smile, "Not hard at all, not hard at all. Congratulations on defeating Situ Xin, Ye Yu, and Ye Lei."

Ye Qiu was surprised that the guard knew about it too, but he nodded, "It's nothing. I'll head off first."

He nodded at the guard, started the smoke-belching pickup, and slowly drove away.

"What a great young man, with such strong abilities, yet so low-key. It seems I'm really getting old, not even recognizing such an amazing person," the guard shook his head and went back.

...

Ye Qiu drove his now truly dilapidated pickup truck, slowly heading towards Minshan.

"I've now gotten an A-level driver's license."

Thinking about how Luo Yun wanted to give him an SSS-level driver's license earlier but was refused by him.

Right now, he doesn't need such a high-level driver's license, just completing the task given by his father is enough.

The driver's license is for others to see; as for his own capabilities, Ye Qiu is clear about them.

"I got another 2000 popularity points from the race with Situ Yang just now, and now my popularity points have reached 630,000."

Listening to the fact that all parts of his pickup are about to be scrapped, Ye Qiu thought to himself, "It seems I'll need to go back and redeem some parts from the system, then give my car a big modification. But it's a pity the system can't open the modification factory now."

Thinking about opening the modification factory, it requires the system to be upgraded to Level 5, and currently his system is still at Level 1. To upgrade the system, he needs Energy Crystal Chips.

With this thought, Ye Qiu asked Fle: "Fle, still no news about the Energy Crystal Chip?"

Originally, Ye Qiu didn't hold much hope, but now Fle said: "It's been detected."

"What? Detected?"

Thinking about getting the Energy Crystal Chip would enable a system upgrade, and upgrading the system could earn a talent skill like Super Driving, and open the Level 2 System Mall, Ye Qiu immediately got excited: "Where is it?"

Fle replied: "At Minshan Manor."

"What? Minshan Manor."

Ye Qiu was surprised.

Minshan Manor is a private estate that spreads broadly at the foot of Mount Minshan, built halfway up the hill, and surrounded by walls.

Ye Qiu sees that Minshan Manor every day when commuting on the Minshan Highway.

Upon closer inspection, that Minshan Manor was built with investments from a major leader in H City and Minshan County.

"It's actually inside there?" Ye Qiu was momentarily stumped, as it's private land; how could he get in?

While contemplating this, Ye Qiu's pickup arrived at the street corner, suddenly blocked by a Ferrari in front of him.

Ye Qiu frowned slightly but relaxed upon seeing Lin Feng getting out of that car.

Lowering the car window, he said to Lin Feng who came to the car's side: "If I hadn't braked in time just now, I would have crashed into you."

Lin Feng chuckled, then stared at Ye Qiu in surprise, as if he didn't recognize him, saying: "Ye Qiu, oh Ye Qiu, you're really hiding well. With such superb driving skills, you don't have a license, and you play the fool in class."

Ye Qiu heard this, scratched his head helplessly, and laughed dryly without saying anything.

Lin Feng laughed at himself: "How funny that I used to tease you, asking you to get a D-level driver's license like me. Thinking back, it's hilarious."

Ye Qiu shook his head: "You meant well."

Lin Feng sighed: "I'm leaving now, Ye Qiu. I watched your entire race earlier. You're really impressive; I, Lin Feng, admire you."

After speaking, Lin Feng got into his Ferrari, honked twice at Ye Qiu, and rushed away with a swift drift.

Ye Qiu watched the departing Ferrari, shook his head, then started his car and drove toward Z County.

...

Two hours later, Ye Qiu, driving his worn-out pickup, slowly reached the entrance of Minshan County. The pickup's exhaust pipe emitted a puff of black smoke, and this barely-there pickup finally couldn't hold on and broke down miserably.

"Ugh, looks like I really need to replace the parts."

Ye Qiu, helpless, got out of the car, looked around at the deserted street, and thought he couldn't just leave the car there since home was still a distance away.

He thought for a moment, then reluctantly took out his phone and dialed Cheng Jie.

By this time, it was already midnight. Cheng Jie, having been busy all day, was deeply asleep, cuddling with a beauty in his dream and about to undress her when a phone call abruptly woke him up.

After frantically finding the phone, he wanted to get angry but felt helpless upon seeing it was Ye Qiu.

After answering the call and hearing Ye Qiu ask him to tow the car, he complained angrily for a while, then got out of bed, dressed, and went to tow Ye Qiu's car.

...

30 minutes later.

As the pickup was sent to the repair platform by the tow truck, the chubby Cheng Jie got off the driver's seat yawning. Upon seeing Ye Qiu nearby, he immediately vented: "Ye Qiu, oh Ye Qiu, do you know this single dog was dating a beauty in his dream? We were about to do that thing, and you, you interrupted me, it's so hateful."

"Uh!" Ye Qiu scratched his head, speechless.

After ranting for a while and feeling calmer, Cheng Jie remembered Ye Qiu went for a driver's license test today, and asked him: "Ye Qiu, did you pass your driver's license?"

Ye Qiu nodded: "Passed."

"Oh! Ah? What did you say? You actually passed the A-level driver's license?"

Cheng Jie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Ye Qiu's neck and shouted, which was exceptionally ear-piercing in the silent night, causing the dogs nearby to bark one after another.

And the light in Cheng Jie's father's room instantly turned on, followed by a shout from his father: "Cheng Jie, what are you yelling in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
