Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 375
Chapter 375: Die With Him
Fu Qingli heard an underground race initiated by Bai Yu was taking place here and rushed over to catch Fu Qingxuan.
Besides being passionate about medical research, Fu Qingxuan was also a racing enthusiast because the adrenaline rush was an inspiration for him to discover breakthroughs whenever he faced a slump in his research.
When Fu Qingxuan was thirteen, he began to participate in various races and was unbeaten until Bai Yu appeared and took away his trophy. This was the first time Fu Qingxuan encountered a roadblock in his life.
Since then, Fu Qingxuan was forever in second place as long as Bai Yu was in the race. Fu Qingxuan could never beat him, which motivated him to strive for more and defeat Bai Yu to win the race.
Bai Yu’s identity was mysterious and he always appeared out of the blue. He would only race depending on his mood. If he did not feel like racing, even God would not be able to persuade him.
Ever since Bai Yu took the F1 championship a year and a half ago, he had been laying low until now that he finally appeared in China.
Racers all over the world must have received the invitation in advance. Otherwise, there would not be so many world-class racers here today.
In a flash, Shen Xi disappeared into the bustling crowd.
Fu Qingli’s eyes turned darker and colder. He did not expect to run into her when he was here to catch his third brother. ‘What is this girl doing in such a rowdy place?’
The scene was very lively and sexy women were everywhere. Beautiful women and sexy race cars were a perfect match.
When Pei Xu arrived, he regretted it instantly after seeing the list of racers. He looked at Shen Xi worriedly and lowered his voice. “Have you raced before?”
Xu Wei deceived them. He spotted more than a dozen world-class drivers, not to mention the racing king Bai Yu who had never lost once since his debut.
This kind of heavyweight race was comparable to F1. It was foolish to think that they could win this race. Not to mention Shen Xi, even if Pei Xu raced, it was impossible. Brother Nian could have stood a chance if he was fine.
“Yup.” Shen Xi did not recognize a single person here, but it seemed like they were all big shots.
On the way here, Song Wenye pointed out some of the famous racers. There was an F1 triple crown winner and a NASCAR racer that won five consecutive championships.
“Sister Xi, let me thank you in advance. It’s the participation that matters in this race.” Pei Xu just wanted to hammer his own head for agreeing to this.
He was not looking down on himself, nor was it because he did not have faith in her. It was just that the opponents were too strong, so he had no more hope of placing first.
Pei Xu thought that this was just the usual small fun race when Xu Wei first mentioned it.
In the past, Brother Nian often organized such races almost every month, sometimes even several times a month.
Pei Xu never would have imagined that this race was organized by the racing king Bai Yu himself and invited drivers from all over the world to attend. It was impossible to beat them.
“Pei Xu, can you not destroy your self-confidence just because your opponent is strong?” Song Wenye put an arm around Shen Xi’s neck and glared at Pei Xu with displeasure. She said resolutely, “If Xixi says that she can take first place, then she can!”
Shen Xi did not even know where Song Wenye got so much confidence in her and looked at Pei Xu with a smile. “Alpha Xu, I never go back on my word and I never fight a battle that I’m uncertain of.”
Pei Xu looked at her confident smile which magically calmed his anxious heart. This girl did bring them a lot of miracles.
Song Wenye was right. He should not have been skeptical. Since he decided to trust her, he left everything to her and let her lead them to achieve another miracle.
Shen Xi did not have a car, so Xu Wei was generous and offered them one.
“All these cars are of top performance. Take your pick.” Xu Wei pointed to over ten sports cars in front of them and looked at Pei Xu.
Pei Xu went over to check the cars.
Shen Xi glanced at the cars and finally locked her eyes on a dark blue McLaren.
Xu Wei’s eyes looked sinister as she looked at Shen Xi. She watched as Shen Xi opened the hood of the car to check as if she knew about cars.
She did a check on this brat Shen Xi, who was Pei Xu’s classmate in No. 4 High School. Shen Xi was a great designer and a dancer, but there was no track record about her races because she had never participated in any. She had not even touched a race car.
If Pei Xu did not have an ulterior motive, then this brat must be a lunatic. An amateur who had never touched a car dared to race?
Pei Xu closed the car door and looked at her. “Xu Wei, I’ll go with her. You don’t have a problem, right?”
Xu Wei was delighted and asked him with a smile, “So you’re gonna race by yourself?”
She originally intended to let Pei Xu go with that ignorant brat. Even if he did not offer, Xu Wei had ways to force him. Since he requested, it made things easier for her.
As for that brat, since she was in such a hurry to reincarnate and die with Pei Xu, then she would not stop them.
It was normal for an accident to occur in this kind of car race. The death of two people was also not a big deal. Xu Wei had long been prepared for everything and could not wait for them to crash and die.
Pei Xu shook his index finger and said, “She’s driving. I’m just tagging along.”
He was worried for Shen Xi to be alone. Although he stopped racing, he could still sit next to her and watch. He was not that mentally weak.
Everyone thought that he had PTSD because he never drove after the accident, but only he knew that was not true. There was nothing in the world that he was afraid of.
After he woke up and found out about Nian, he swore that he would never touch a car again, especially a race car.
“Good, then get ready. I’ll have someone sign you up.” Xu Wei looked at Shen Xi. “What’s your alias?”
In racing, especially in this kind of underground race that was illegal, not many would use their real names and would go by their alias.
Shen Xi leaned lazily on the car and lifted her head. “A.”
The moment the girl looked up, the innocence in her eyes vanished, only cold and darkness akin to a bottomless lake remained. When she smiled, there were some cold ripples that flashed across her calm eyes.
Xu Wei was startled by her sudden cold aura. When she returned to her senses, Shen Xi had already returned to her usual innocent look as if what she saw earlier was her illusion.
‘Impossible. I’m just scaring myself for nothing. This brat can’t be a hidden professional.’
Even Xu Wei’s gang was overwhelmed by Shen Xi’s oppressive aura and felt a chill down their spine.
‘This girl can’t be some kind of maestro, right? Was she just pretending to be an amateur earlier? Sister Wei investigated her and found nothing suspicious. She’s just a novice who hasn’t even touched a car…’
