God of Racing

Chapter 71: Born of the Same Root


Hearing Yue Feng's words, Ye Qiu, who had already placed his hand on the door handle, lowered his hand, then turned around to look at Wang Xuan and Yue Feng, and said: "Go ahead."

"Come, sit down and talk!" Yue Feng said.

"No need, just say it quickly!" Ye Qiu felt something strange about these two people, and he had a feeling that Yue Feng was deceiving him.

This feeling was unpleasant; he had experienced it before, so he didn't want it to happen a second time.

Seeing Ye Qiu's unpleasant expression, Yue Feng glanced at Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan nodded, and Yue Feng hesitated for a moment before saying to Ye Qiu: "Alright, Ye Qiu, actually the reason I came to find you was to ask for your help with this matter."

"Help you with what?" Ye Qiu's expression worsened upon hearing Yue Feng's admission.

"It's like this," Yue Feng said, "My family and Wang Xuan's family have a joint business that requires a driver to deliver goods to Russia."

"What kind of business needs a driver? Why not just use transport directly?" Ye Qiu asked in confusion.

Yue Feng furrowed his brow and glanced at Wang Xuan. After thinking for a moment, Wang Xuan said, "Ye Qiu, can you guarantee that if I tell you about this, you won't tell anyone else?"

Ye Qiu frowned, feeling that what Wang Xuan and Yue Feng wanted him to do might not be anything good. Hearing Wang Xuan's words, Ye Qiu shook his head: "Sorry, I won't do anything for you, nor will I guarantee anything."

After speaking, he was about to leave again, but Yue Feng, anxious, stepped forward to stop Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu lightly brushed off Yue Feng's arm and said, "Sorry, I won't help you with anything, so please don't talk to me about it anymore, and don't look for me again in the future. Goodbye."

With that, Ye Qiu opened the door and walked out.

Yue Feng frowned; he had just seen disappointment in Ye Qiu's eyes and fell silent for a moment.

Just then, Wang Xuan walked over, patted Yue Feng on the shoulder, and said, "It seems he really has nothing to do with the police. So, we must find a way to get him to work for us. Only someone with a clean background delivering goods won't cause any problems."

Yue Feng was startled and said, "Ye Qiu won't work for us. What should we do?"

Wang Xuan smiled slightly: "We'll have to find another way. Seeing that he has a good relationship with my sister, we can only try to find a way through her."

...

After walking out of the room, Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief. Although Wang Xuan and Yue Feng didn't tell him what it was about, Ye Qiu was certain it must be illegal.

Moreover, he had heard before that some big operations usually look for highly skilled drivers to transport goods for them.

"Looks like I need to stay away from Yue Feng and Wang Xuan from now on."

Suddenly, Ye Qiu felt someone in front of him. Looking up, it was Wang Xinrui.

Seeing Wang Xinrui smiling at him, Ye Qiu frowned, thinking of her relationship with Wang Xuan and figuring he should stay away from their family.

"Ye Qiu..."

Wang Xinrui greeted Ye Qiu as he came out, but Ye Qiu just glanced at her and walked past.

"Huh?"

Wang Xinrui was stunned, not understanding why Ye Qiu ignored her.

"What happened? Did my brother say something to Ye Qiu?"

Wang Xinrui frowned, then watched as Ye Qiu got into a pickup truck and left, sighed, and didn't chase after him. Instead, she sat on the nearby railing, hugging her knees, and fell silent.

...

"Was I being too harsh earlier?"

Having already led Cheng Jie back home, Ye Qiu thought about how he treated Wang Xinrui earlier and felt a bit guilty.

Although Wang Xinrui is Wang Xuan's sister, who says a bad brother means the sister must be bad too?

Moreover, Wang Xinrui's behavior towards Ye Qiu made him feel she was a nice girl and a good friend.

"Oh well, I'll apologize to her if I get the chance in the future."

Ye Qiu shook his head, dismissing the thought, and instead thought about today's biggest gain—obtaining the Energy Crystal Chip that could upgrade the Car God System, which filled him with excitement.

"How's Fle doing? When can we upgrade?" Ye Qiu asked in his mind.

"Anytime."

Hearing Fle's voice, Ye Qiu smiled: "Alright, I'll head home right now, and you can upgrade the system for me."

Fle previously told Ye Qiu that during the system upgrade, he would fall into a deep sleep as well.

"I wonder what kind of Talent Skills will appear after the system upgrades to Level 2. Will it be more powerful than Super Driving, or not as good?"

Ye Qiu thought while speeding up, not caring about the distance widening between him and Cheng Jie, who was shouting loudly at the moment.

In his hurry, Ye Qiu was driving very fast and in no time reached home, hurriedly got out of the car, and entered the house. Seeing the messy room, Ye Qiu felt helpless, but today he decided not to tidy up and instead planned to go upstairs to have Fle upgrade the system for him.

However, just as he was about to go upstairs, he was stopped by Ye Xiong, who was coming downstairs with two bottles of wine in his hand.

"You brat, coming back so late?" Ye Xiong said drunkenly, coming up to Ye Qiu and grabbing his shoulder: "Come on, brat, drink some wine with me."

"Dad, I have something to do today, can I..."

Bam.

Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, Ye Xiong slammed the wine bottle on the table in front of him, saying, "I told you to drink, so drink. Why so much fuss?"

"But Dad, I really have something to do today!"

But the more anxious Ye Qiu got, the more Ye Xiong seemed determined to thwart him, slapping the table fiercely: "You brat, what, am I not your dad? Is it so difficult to drink some wine with me?"

"I..."

Seeing his dad angry, Ye Qiu didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Fine, Dad, I'll drink with you."

Hearing this, Ye Xiong smiled, then poured a glass of wine for Ye Qiu, and clinked his bottle with Ye Qiu's glass before taking a swig himself.

After drinking, he saw that Ye Qiu hadn't drunk and frowned: "Drink up, why aren't you drinking?"

Ye Qiu, having no choice, picked up the glass, and was almost overwhelmed by the pungent smell of the alcohol, being his first time drinking, he nearly passed out.

But seeing his father's aggressive gaze, Ye Qiu just wanted to finish quickly and go upstairs to let Fle upgrade his system, so he forced himself to drink it down.

Poof.

The spicy taste was even more stimulating than the smell, and Ye Qiu's mouth immediately felt as if it was on fire, causing him to spit it out and take deep breaths while waving his hand in front of his mouth.

"Haha, hahahaha..."

At this point, Ye Xiong burst into inappropriate laughter, looking at the blushing Ye Qiu who took a sip of wine: "Are you a man or not? Are you really my son, Ye Xiong? Why do you look like this after just one sip?"

"Of course I'm a man!"

Sparked by Ye Xiong's taunt, Ye Qiu got riled up, grabbed his glass, and downed all the liquor in one gulp,

"Huh?" Ye Xiong froze.

After gulping down the wine, Ye Qiu stood in place motionless for about five seconds before suddenly feeling like his whole body was on fire from the inside out, and then buzzing noise started in his brain.

The Ye Xiong in front of him suddenly appeared as two, and then three?

Ye Qiu's rosy face broke into a silly grin, pointing at Ye Xiong: "Dad haha, why are there three of you? Haha, more wine, give me more wine, who says I'm not a man, who says I can't drink!"

Seeing the obviously drunk Ye Qiu, Ye Xiong shook his head.

"Wine... I want to drink wine."

Ye Qiu stood up, but his whole body was already swaying. After shouting to Ye Xiong again, he lost his balance and fell, still pointing at Ye Xiong for more wine.

"Oh, this brat!"

Once Ye Qiu went silent, Ye Xiong finally stood up, came over to the drunk Ye Qiu, shook his head helplessly, then picked Ye Qiu up and headed towards the room.

He carried Ye Qiu to his room, threw him on the bed, removed his shoes, and covered him with the quilt. Seeing Ye Qiu's rosy face as he snored, Ye Xiong displayed a touch of affection on his face.

"Aik, I will defeat you, I will definitely defeat you..."

Just as Ye Xiong was about to leave, he heard Ye Qiu's sleep-talking about seeking revenge on Aik, causing his step to pause.

Turning back to look at the slumbering Ye Qiu, whose face was distorted even in sleep, Ye Xiong sighed slightly: "I didn't expect your hatred for Aik to be so strong now."

Ever since Ye Qiu was dismissed from Highway Hero, Ye Xiong had learned a few things.

He knew what really happened.

"Aik, just wait, I won't let you bully Xirou. For what you did to me back then, I will surely make you pay."

Ye Qiu's words reached Ye Xiong's ears, making him show an extremely helpless smile.

Then he patted Ye Qiu's face and only after Ye Qiu calmed down did he sigh softly and say: "When you really understand some things, will you still feel happy about defeating Aik? Maybe, maybe not. After all, sometimes, for the sake of love, even brothers can turn against each other..."

"Alas, born of the same root... destiny, destiny..."

Ye Xiong said these words and left Ye Qiu's room.

Meanwhile, the necklace on Ye Qiu's neck, as he lay in a drunken stupor, was undergoing a change. Fle had already activated the Energy Crystal Chip, and it was believed that when Ye Qiu woke up, his Car God System would ascend to Level 2.

What Talent Skills would surprise Ye Qiu at that time? All would be known when he woke up.

At this moment, Ye Qiu's hazy consciousness drifted to thoughts of him and Lin Xirou, and the scenes that took place when they first joined the racing team. Even in his dreams, a warm smile appeared at the corner of Ye Qiu's mouth.

It was clear that he was very happy during that time.
