"Wang Xuan, let me go..."
Luo Bing flung Wang Xuan's arm off her and said fiercely, "Wang Xuan, you know who my father is, and you know I'm from the Luo Family in Shangjing. You better think twice before doing anything to me."
Wang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Heh, Luo Bing, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I'm like those brainless villains from novels or TV shows, who feel compelled to do something to a beautiful woman? Haha, rest assured, although you're beautiful, I won't do anything to you."
"Then what do you want to do?" Luo Bing asked.
Wang Xuan said, "You know that ever since I lost to Situ Yang a few years ago, I've been training intensely, hoping to defeat him the next time we meet. But I didn't expect him to become even stronger over these years."
"What do you want to do?" Luo Bing asked in confusion, while looking at Ye Qiu and Ye Xiong fighting with dozens of people, "Can you make them stop fighting?"
Wang Xuan sneered coldly, "Luo Bing, I didn't realize you care about that Ye Qiu. Weren't you childhood sweethearts with Situ Yang? Back when Situ Yang came to H City after you and your father arrived, he even gave up his Shangjing playboy life and came here just to be with you."
"Don't talk nonsense. Brother Yang came to H City back then to pursue his racing dream and to create his own team." Luo Bing said.
Wang Xuan chuckled, "That's what he told you, but Luo Bing, you're a smart person, why don't you think about it? If Situ Yang really wanted to start a racing team, why would he choose a broken place like H City? And why did he come here just after you arrived? As far as I know, at that time Situ Yang refused the opportunity his family arranged for him to train with the Celestial Dragon Racing Team, otherwise he would have joined them long ago."
"This..." Hearing information different from what Situ Yang had told her, Luo Bing was stunned for a moment.
"So, it turns out Brother Yang gave up everything to come to H City for me." Luo Bing's mind was in turmoil, then she looked at Ye Qiu fighting with more than a dozen people in the distance, her eyes flickering.
But then she heard a painful cry from Ye Qiu in the distance, which startled Luo Bing, so she said to Wang Xuan, "Wang Xuan, make them stop quickly, they might get beaten to death by your people."
Although Ye Xiong and Ye Qiu are not weak, they couldn't withstand the sheer number Wang Xuan had, with five or six dozen people, all armed, and they didn't seem like simple thugs, they looked trained.
So, although Ye Qiu and Ye Xiong managed to knock down dozens of people, both had sustained some injuries, and were now leaning on each other, facing over twenty people surrounding them.
"Didn't expect you to fight pretty well, kid." Ye Xiong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to Ye Qiu behind him.
Ye Qiu glanced around at the intimidating people and smiled, "Dad, you're the same, still going strong."
"Haha." Ye Xiong laughed heartily and said, "Kid, there are still more than twenty people left, think we can handle it?"
Ye Qiu said, "What if we can't? They're not going to let us off, so we have to knock them all down."
"Haha, fine, let's take them all down." Ye Xiong laughed out loud and said, "Father and son fighting side by side, today let's work together and take down this bunch of punks."
Saying that, Ye Qiu and Ye Xiong charged at the men again.
Ye Qiu faced two people head-on, one swung a baseball bat at him, but Ye Qiu ducked to dodge, then looked at the man's crotch with a fierce look and struck upwards with his bat.
Thud
"Oh..."
The man hit by Ye Qiu clutched his lower body and fell to the ground, crying in pain, and those around felt a chill down there, momentarily stunned.
"Kid, you're ruthless..."
Ye Xiong cursed silently, then seeing the others in a daze, saw it as a good opportunity and swung his baseball bat, hitting them on the head one by one.
Thud, thud, thud.
With this, Ye Xiong hit six or seven people, and they clutched their bleeding heads, lying on the ground wailing, some even fainted.
On the other side, Ye Qiu also started attacking amidst the stunned opponents, but he didn't aim at the head, rather, he targeted their lower regions.
Similarly, with thuds resonating, those hit crouched on the ground clutching themselves painfully.
With this, Ye Qiu and Ye Xiong took down over a dozen people, leaving only a dozen or so left.
"Haha, well done, kid."
As the men came back to their senses, Ye Qiu and Ye Xiong stood together again, facing the remaining ones, excitement written all over Ye Xiong's face.
Ye Qiu felt the same way, saying, "Dad, let's charge once more and knock them all down."
"Alright." Ye Xiong shouted, "Come on, you little punks, face your death."
Frightened by the fighting prowess of Ye Xiong and Ye Qiu, and seeing they only had a few left, fear surged in the remaining men's hearts.
Seeing Ye Xiong and Ye Qiu charging at them fearlessly, they were terrified, dropping their bats and running away.
This allowed Ye Qiu and Ye Xiong to catch five or six of them from behind.
The faster runners fled, crying not to hit them, and reached behind Wang Xuan.
Ye Qiu and Ye Xiong chased to Wang Xuan's front, where Wang Xuan shouted sharply, "Stop right there! Move an inch and I'll scar Luo Bing's face."
Wang Xuan was holding a small switchblade, hovering dangerously close to Luo Bing's delicate cheek, a slight move could scar her face.
"You're despicable."
Ye Qiu cursed, "Using a woman as a threat, what kind of man are you?"
Wang Xuan sneered coldly, without answering, his heart full of rage as he looked at his men lying wounded on the ground.
"What do you want?" Ye Qiu asked.
Wang Xuan looked at Ye Qiu, then glanced at Ye Xiong beside him, his eyes flickering with apprehension, and then coldly said, "Ye Qiu, we could have been friends, but now we've become enemies, all because of you."
"Hmph, we could never be friends. I, Ye Qiu, am not interested in befriending someone like you."
Ye Qiu replied.
"Hmph." The killing intent in Wang Xuan's eyes deepened.
"Go ahead, how can I get you to let Luo Bing go?"
Even though he knew Wang Xuan wouldn't dare to hurt Luo Bing, seeing the knife held against Luo Bing's face, Ye Qiu was still a bit nervous.
Wang Xuan said, "It's simple to release him. If you sign a contract with me to help us, I'll let him go."
"Impossible." Ye Qiu knew exactly what Wang Xuan wanted him to do, and he wouldn't agree to it for anything.
After speaking, Ye Qiu looked at Luo Bing, saw the surprise and disappointment in Luo Bing's eyes, and sighed inwardly.
"Hehe, aren't you afraid I'll scar Luo Bing's face? I saw how concerned he was for you just now," Wang Xuan said.
Ye Qiu looked at Luo Bing, and Luo Bing also looked at Ye Qiu.
With their eyes locked, Ye Qiu saw the disappointment in Luo Bing's eyes, but he helplessly shook his head at Wang Xuan, "Make another deal."
Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, the disappointment in Luo Bing's eyes deepened, and tears flowed down from her glistening eyes.
She didn't understand why Ye Qiu couldn't just help Wang Xuan with this one thing. It's not like he was being asked to do anything major.
In Luo Bing's mind, what could Wang Xuan even have Ye Qiu do? At most, help Wang Xuan's racing team in a race, what else could it be?
But clearly, Luo Bing was being naïve, which is why at this moment she was very disappointed in Ye Qiu.
"Would she really just watch as my face gets scarred and not be willing to help me?" Luo Bing thought as she looked at Ye Qiu. For some reason, at this moment, she suddenly thought of Situ Yang and mused, "If Brother Yang were here, he'd definitely be willing to help me."
Luo Bing's gaze didn't escape Ye Qiu's notice. He saw Luo Bing's tears and understood her thoughts at that moment, but Ye Qiu truly couldn't agree to Wang Xuan's demand.
Instead, he stared at Wang Xuan, thinking about how to rescue Luo Bing without letting her get hurt.
Thud.
Just then, the sound of screeching brakes rang out, followed by a Wiesmann coming to a halt, as Situ Yang stepped out of the car.
"Brother Yang..." Luo Bing shouted with some excitement the moment Situ Yang got out of the car.
Seeing Situ Yang arrive, Wang Xuan's eyes also flickered with apprehension, and he quickly released Luo Bing.
Situ Yang, with a solemn expression, took large strides in front of Luo Bing. Seeing her crying like a tearful mess, his eyes flashed with deep heartache.
"Brother Yang..."
Seeing Situ Yang, Luo Bing was distraught, throwing herself into Situ Yang's arms and sobbing uncontrollably.
"There, there, it's okay, your Brother Yang is here for you."
Situ Yang comforted Luo Bing and then slowly looked at Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan shivered at Situ Yang's gaze and, trying to smile, wanted to say something, but Situ Yang coldly spoke, "It's fortunate that Luo Bing is unharmed; otherwise, both you and your father would be dead."
Wang Xuan's expression tightened, anger flaring up inside him, but Situ Yang had already turned to leave with Luo Bing in his arms.
...
After Situ Yang placed Luo Bing in the car, he stood by the car, looking at the lowered-headed Ye Qiu, and shouted, "Hey, if you can't even protect your own woman, what kind of man are you?"
Ye Qiu raised his head to look at Situ Yang, then at Luo Bing, who was sitting in the car crying like a tearful mess, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Situ Yang continued, "Do you still remember the race we bet on? I'm waiting for you. If you win, I'll let you take away Xiao Bing, but if you lose, stay away from her."
Having said that, Situ Yang got in the car, and the Wiesmann sped away with an angry drift.
In the car, Luo Bing continued watching Ye Qiu until the car drove far away, out of sight.
"Sigh..."
Only after the Wiesmann left did Ye Qiu let out a deep sigh.
That's when Ye Xiong came up and patted Ye Qiu's shoulder, saying, "Kid, if you like that girl, you should have considered her safety above all else, no matter what. After all, love is sometimes irrational, and you can always go back on your word later! Haha..."
Ye Qiu looked at Ye Xiong, who laughed, "But if you don't like that Luo Bing girl, just forget what I said."
Ye Qiu lowered his head, thinking to himself, "Do I not like Luo Bing? Then why did it hurt so much to see her in Situ Yang's arms?"
For a moment, Ye Qiu found himself in a dilemma, when suddenly he heard Wang Xuan and Yue Feng talking, seemingly preparing to leave.
His heart filled with anger, Ye Qiu abruptly looked up and headed straight toward Wang Xuan and Yue Feng, saying, "You bastards, it's all because of you..."
...
...
It's quite a dilemma. I didn't want to write about the early parts, but jumping straight into the professional league doesn't leave much room for writing, since there's no good reference book available, and mere repetition of races is boring, just some cliché show-off scenarios. So I added some off-track plot elements, like in Fast and Furious, but firstly, my writing skills are lacking, and secondly, it's hard to capture that visual excitement with just words, so please bear with me. I'll do my best to write well.
