Jiang Haobo made a provocative gesture towards Shen Junqing and turned to his own race car.

Nan Yan glanced at the racing cars and asked in a calm voice, “Which one is your car? I want to ride along.”

The car Shen Junqing drove was just a regular luxury car, although it had decent performance, it couldn’t be used for racing.

His car should have been delivered here in advance.

Shen Junqing pointed towards the most eye-catching and flamboyant neon sports car, “That one.”

Nan Yan walked directly towards it.

“Tsk~” Shen Junqing shook his head.

Wasn’t she just acting obedient and cute a moment ago?

How did that disappear in the blink of an eye?

However, her voice calling him “brother” was truly pleasant to the ears~

It seemed like he should coax her to call him that more often in the future.

After getting into the car, Nan Yan checked the race car on her own before fastening her seatbelt calmly.

All the race car drivers were already in position.

Liang Qian held a flag and walked to the starting point.

The participating cars lined up, filling up the entire road.

In this race, apart from the individual prizes between Jiang Haobo and Shen Junqing, there was also the prize money from the racing fund.

That was the reason why other drivers were willing to participate.

Even if they couldn’t get first place, they could still win a prize by finishing in the top three.

Liang Qian, with her beautiful figure illuminated by the car lights, looked even more curvaceous as she raised the checkered flag.

After waving it to signal the start, she counted down from ten seconds and swiftly dropped the flag.

More than a dozen race cars roared and sped out at full speed.

However, there was one exception.

“Yanyan?” Shen Junqing looked at Nan Yan’s small hand resting on the gear lever and raised an eyebrow.

Only then did Nan Yan move her hand away and raised her chin, “Let’s go.”

Shen Junqing chuckled, “Making it difficult for your brother?”

“Something like that.”

“What a naughty girl~”

While they were talking, he calmly started the car.

The onlookers thought that something was wrong with his car as it didn’t move.

Liang Qian was about to approach to check.

Just as she walked about two meters closer, there was a loud roar, and the car swiftly shot forward.

The airflow it generated even caused her body to sway slightly.

“Qianqian, are you okay?”

A girl standing nearby asked with concern.

“I’m fine…” Liang Qian smiled at her, withdrew her gaze, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Third Young Master’s little sister made her feel threatened.

It seemed like she needed to do something…

Jiang Haobo was leading the pack in first place.

He thought that Shen Junqing would be right behind him.

However, when he looked in the rearview mirror, he couldn’t see Shen Junqing’s car.

Did he fail to keep up?

It would be great if he didn’t catch up.

This time, he was determined to secure first place!

Jiang Haobo kept his gaze fixed on the road ahead, trying his best to maintain his advantage and gradually accelerating.

Meanwhile, Shen Junqing began to catch up.

Nan Yan leaned against the backrest, calmly observing her surroundings.

She seemed nonchalant, but her brain was already rapidly working.

Lose?

She would never let Shen Junqing lose.

And indeed, Shen Junqing’s driving skills were quite good.

After falling behind by nearly half a minute in the beginning, in less than three minutes, he caught up to the second-to-last position.

He executed clean overtakes, surpassing the third-to-last…

The fourth-to-last…

The fifth-to-last…

On the winding mountain road, a dazzling neon sports car darted like lightning, deftly weaving through the gaps between the race cars.

The other drivers had no chance of overtaking.

First, their cars couldn’t match up in terms of performance.

Second, their skills were lacking, as they were more concerned about their own safety and worried about accidents.

In just five minutes, Shen Junqing had already reached the fourth position.

They had covered half of the distance.

The best overtaking opportunities had already passed, and the remaining road became steeper and more dangerous, making overtaking difficult.

Normally, in a race like this on such a terrain, the positions determined in the first half of the race would likely continue until the end.

However, this time was clearly different.

Shen Junqing didn’t care about the narrowing road that could only accommodate two cars side by side, nor did he fear the dangerous hairpin turns. He continued to accelerate.

The driver in the third position saw Shen Junqing approaching through the rearview mirror and cursed him as a “madman.”

He thought Shen Junqing was courting death.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Shen Junqing made a daring overtaking maneuver during a bend.

The driver, startled, turned his steering wheel inward, causing his car to collide with the mountainside.

The driver in the second position, who was not far behind, witnessed this thrilling scene.

Now, it was his turn…

Motivated by the high prize money, the second-place driver also gave it his all.

He didn’t believe that Shen Junqing wasn’t afraid of death.

He intentionally blocked the road, driving in the middle to prevent Shen Junqing from overtaking.

Undeterred, Shen Junqing closely followed behind, biting his tail.

As they approached a series of three consecutive bends, the second-place driver began turning.

At high speeds, the car naturally drifted towards the outer edge of the road.

Shen Junqing accelerated, skillfully maneuvering his car through the gap between the mountainside and the second-place car.

He successfully completed the overtaking maneuver.

“Beautiful!” Nan Yan’s eyes finally showed a hint of excitement as she rarely praised Shen Junqing.

This maneuver required excellent driving skills, and even a slight deviation in angle could have led to them rolling off the cliff.

However, Shen Junqing remained very stable, with no sign of shaking, calmly overtaking the opponent.

Nan Yan gained a more concrete understanding of his skills.

Perhaps, even without her help, he could secure the first place.

Nan Yan thought to herself with a calm expression.

Jiang Haobo thought he had already won, but when he glanced at the rearview mirror, he saw Shen Junqing catching up.

How could he possibly lose?

If he lost the land in the western part of the city, his father would kill him!

Gritting his teeth, with a fierce expression on his face, he floored the accelerator, making one final sprint.

The remaining road had a few more bends, but they were not as dangerous as before and could be taken at high speeds without the need to slow down.

With only five kilometers left to the finish line, victory seemed within Jiang Haobo’s grasp.

Shen Junqing’s lazy voice suddenly became serious. “Yanyan, hold on tight.”

Nan Yan calculated the distance between the two cars and the time they needed. She spoke, “Keep the throttle pressed to the max, and leave the rest to me.”

At their current speed, they were going to lose.

Shen Junqing looked at her with curiosity. “Yanyan, are you serious?”

“I never joke,” Nan Yan replied earnestly.

“Alright, then our lives are in your hands, sister.”

Shen Junqing and Nan Yan exchanged a glance. He released the steering wheel and the gear lever, handing complete control over to Nan Yan, while he stepped the accelerator to the floor.

Nan Yan unfastened her seatbelt and leaned over, taking over control. In her eyes, there was a hint of madness, as if breaking free from restraints.

The two cars gradually approached each other, and the situation became increasingly critical.

Jiang Haobo’s heart was pounding, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

Just as he had 500 meters left to the finish line, a mere breath away from crossing it, a flash of light whizzed past him from behind, crossing the finish line…
