It's past 5 in the afternoon, and it's still bright outside. Ye Qiu, who had been dozing off in bed all afternoon, was finally sober. Although his head still ached, it was no longer a big deal.

Achoo.

After sneezing, Ye Qiu was fully awake. He got up from the bed and looked outside with some doubt.

"Why hasn't Dad come back yet? With his skills, he shouldn't be delayed!"

Ever since using the Celestial Eye to see Ye Xiong's abilities, Ye Qiu knew his seemingly sloppy dad was actually a formidable figure.

Though he didn't yet know how glorious his dad's past was, just based on his dad's Diamond Car Saint and 7-star modification master abilities, he must have had a very illustrious history.

"Since Dad is so skilled, there must be information about him online."

Given Ye Xiong's Diamond Car Saint level, he certainly wasn't an unknown figure in the past, and there should be data about him on some websites or forums.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu got out of bed, feeling a bit hungry, and went to the kitchen to cook a packet of instant noodles. He added two eggs, and then, carrying the hot noodles, sat in front of his computer.

While eating and waiting for the computer to boot, he pulled out his phone to call his dad, but there was no answer.

"Huh? Why is no one answering the phone?" Ye Qiu was puzzled, but then he shook his head. Based on the physical ability and strength he saw using Celestial Eye, his dad was many times stronger than him, so ordinarily, nothing should happen.

So after putting down the phone, Ye Qiu didn't think much more about it.

The computer booted up, and Ye Qiu, while eating noodles, opened a browser and logged into a racing driver forum.

The forum Ye Qiu logged into was not in the Huaxia District but a global site.

It recorded the points rankings of professional racing teams and drivers.

Upon opening the webpage, Ye Qiu immediately saw the team points standings. The team currently ranked first in the world was none other than the Highway Hero Team that had expelled him.

Seeing the team he once worked hard for, Ye Qiu felt a bit down and couldn't help but glance at the driver rankings.

The current world number one racer was the Highway Hero Team's ace: McLean Ke, with a 9-star Golden Chariot Emperor level.

Seeing that McLean Ke had become even stronger, Ye Qiu smiled.

Back when he was in the Highway Hero Team, McLean Ke was the team's ace, the most accomplished driver, and even then he was ranked first in the global racing driver standings.

However, McLean Ke wasn't arrogant, and because of Ye Qiu's talent, he often taught Ye Qiu some driving techniques and shared experiences.

Therefore, Ye Qiu's rapid progress was, in part, thanks to McLean Ke's guidance, making Ye Qiu very grateful to him. Apart from Lin Xirou, he's the only person in the Highway Hero Team that Ye Qiu can still smile at whenever he sees the name.

"I wonder how Xirou is doing now?"

Ye Qiu continued browsing, finding Lin Xirou ranked 303rd in the global standings. Seeing Lin Xirou now as an 8-star Bronze Chariot King, he was a bit surprised but more delighted.

"Xirou's racing talent is truly impressive. In just two years, she's close to becoming a Silver Chariot King, and her world ranking has risen to 303, almost entering the top 300.

Although Lin Xirou is only ranked 303rd globally, it's still something to be proud of because, given her age, most of those who rank above her are over 30 and older than Lin Xirou.

The youngest on this list now is Lin Xirou, of course, except for Ye Qiu, who has been removed.

"I wonder how Aik is doing now?"

Suddenly thinking of Aik, Ye Qiu searched the list and finally found Aik ranked 260.

Aik, with a 6-star Silver Chariot King level.

"Reaching the 6-star Silver Chariot King level, it seems Aik has worked hard these two years too."

Ye Qiu wasn't discouraged by Aik's progress but felt an even stronger flame of motivation igniting inside him.

"Currently, I'm at approximately a 5-star Bronze Chariot King level according to external evaluations. With the system's help, I believe that after joining a team, I can catch up with you all within a year, or perhaps even faster."

Ye Qiu clenched his fists, "The college entrance exams are coming soon, and I must decide on which team to join to quickly enhance my skills, aiming to become the team's mainstay before the league starts. That way, perhaps I could meet Aik on the racetrack..."

With this thought, Ye Qiu felt a surge of adrenaline, eager to have a showdown with Aik on the track, but he quickly shook his head, knowing that haste won't help.

Skills need gradual improvement, step by step. Ye Qiu believes that as long as he works hard, he will catch up with Aik sooner or later.

Calming down, Ye Qiu continued browsing the webpage, avoiding focusing on Aik and others, but he was dumbfounded when he saw a news report.

"Highway Hero's genius driver Aik is going to marry the talented young girl Lin Xirou?"

When Ye Qiu saw this news, he trembled all over and clicked on it without hesitation.

Inside were various reports, praising Aik's greatness, also praising Lin Xirou, and so on.

It concluded by saying that the two genius drivers mutually agreed, liked each other, and would soon marry.

Photos of Lin Xirou and Aik were attached below.

"No, that's impossible."

Staring at Lin Xirou's photo, Ye Qiu shouted in anger, unwilling to believe it was true.

"Xirou, why didn't you wait for me? Why are you marrying Aik? Do you like him?"

Ye Qiu roared at the computer screen but knew it was useless, slumping powerlessly in his chair.

"No, I don't believe it, Xirou, you wouldn't marry Aik."

Ye Qiu shook his head, then opened Lin Xirou's driver profile, and found the message section below, seeing all the blessings and congratulations, Ye Qiu became even angrier.

Then he edited a message:

That year the snow blew across the sky, you and I met by the bluestone side.

Destined this life to be together till death, never wavering nor regretting.

Now my heart is still surging, but is yours?

After finishing the edit, Ye Qiu sighed, and finally pressed confirm.

Then he sat powerlessly in the chair, muttering, "Xirou, I hope you will give me an explanation when you see this."

...

Half an hour later, the instant noodles on Ye Qiu's table had gone cold, but Ye Qiu was still slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the computer screen.

"Why hasn't Xirou replied to me yet?"

The ID Ye Qiu used, Lin Xirou knew; it was created by Lin Xirou for Ye Qiu when they were together.

Another hour passed, the computer screen had gone black several times, but Ye Qiu still saw no message, a defeated smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, is it possible that Xirou you really plan to marry Aik?"

Ye Qiu suddenly knocked the bowl of instant noodles onto the floor with a crashing sound, and the noodles scattered all over. Yet he stared at the computer screen for a long time, eventually sighing.

"Maybe Xirou you're busy and haven't seen it, I hope when you do you'll give me a reply."

Ye Qiu realized he may have been impulsive earlier, so at this moment he understood and felt relieved, then he shook his head vigorously and closed those webpages.

Afterwards, he absentmindedly searched for some information about Ye Xiong, but found nothing, leaving Ye Qiu puzzled.

Then he opened the Asian region to see if he could find anything.

The current first-ranked team in the Asian region is RB's Qiuming Mountain Racing Team, the captain is RB's strongest driver, Fujiwara Takumi.

"Fujiwara Takumi?" Seeing this name, Ye Qiu squinted slightly, and after checking the information, he smiled faintly, talking to himself, "9-star Golden Chariot Emperor, Asia's strongest driver?"

Ye Qiu frowned slightly: "It seems the drivers' strength in the Asian region is still lacking globally, the strongest being Fujiwara Takumi, only a 9-star Golden Chariot Emperor. If his strength is not hidden, then it is indeed lower globally."

Shaking his head, Ye Qiu didn't look at this driver, who would inevitably battle him, because despite the opponent being strong, he didn't need to envy them. He just needed to strive to catch up.

Continuing to look further down, he saw H Country ranked second, and T Country third.

Huaxia was actually ranked 6th, the strongest driver was Bai Lingfeng, with strength at 5-star Golden Chariot Emperor.

"Huaxia is so weak in the Asian region! Ah..."

Seeing his country's weakness left Ye Qiu feeling a bit regretful, but soon he smiled and said, "Since I'm back now, I need to change the current situation."

Ring ring,

Just as Ye Qiu was filled with determination to make some changes for Huaxia racing, the phone rang.

Ye Qiu picked up the phone, and when he saw it was Luo Bing, he was stunned but quickly answered.

Yet as soon as the call connected, before Ye Qiu could speak, Luo Bing's anxious voice came through: "Ye Qiu, hurry up and save your dad..."

"What? What's wrong with my dad, Luo Bing, slow down and tell me?" Ye Qiu was shocked and asked.

Luo Bing said, "I saw a group of people driving cars, right now they're chasing your dad, there have been several near collisions, you need to think of a solution quickly."

"What? Where is it?"

Ye Qiu anxiously asked.

Luo Bing said, "It's on the Minshan Highway, Ye Qiu, hurry over. Ah..."

"Luo Bing, what's wrong? Luo Bing!"

The call disconnected with a beeping sound, leaving Ye Qiu flustered. Before it ended, he heard Luo Bing's scream, and also couldn't understand why his dad was being pursued.

But right now, he didn't have time to think, and hurriedly ran downstairs, only to find no car was available.

In his anxiety, Ye Qiu had to run to Cheng Jie's repair center and borrowed a car from Cheng Jie.

Cheng Jie asked what was going on, and Ye Qiu hastily explained the situation, leaving Cheng Jie shocked, who then said he would go with Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu, in his hurry, had no choice but to take Cheng Jie with him.

After Ye Qiu and Cheng Jie left, Cheng Jie's father, Cheng Kong, watched them leave hurriedly with some confusion, and asked the staff nearby.

The staff heard Ye Qiu's previous words and told Cheng Kong.

"What?" Cheng Kong exclaimed in shock upon hearing this, then shouted, "Put down what's in your hands, then follow me..."

After speaking, Cheng Kong grabbed a wrench, and led his employees, boarded a large truck, and chased after Ye Qiu.
