The distance from the starting point to the top of the mountain is twelve kilometers, so a round trip is twenty-four kilometers.

Because the mountain road winds around, people are stationed every three kilometers to use binoculars to watch, and then relay the progress of the race to everyone's ears through walkie-talkies.

Both Xiaofan and Han Shengjun are newcomers, so it's understandable for them to warm up by driving. Moreover, once they reach the top of the mountain, Han Shengjun will stay up there, waiting for Xiaofan to arrive before taking over the relay.

In other words, Xiaofan runs the first half, and Han Shengjun runs the second half.

"Xiaofan, be careful with my car, this is the only car my grandaunt gave me," Li San said worriedly as he watched Xiaofan get into his BMW.

"Yo, everyone's here," Xiaofan said with a slight smile after glancing at the approaching crowd.

"I just knew there'd be something fun happening tonight, how could I not come?" Chen Mei'Er said as she pulled open the passenger door and sat right down.

During the race, the passenger seat could be occupied, and if a driver has no beauty by their side, it would be quite the joke.

Chen Mei'Er's actions showed that she was already familiar with this race. It's safe to say that her family is involved in both the control here and in the external betting, where Chen Baicheng has a stake as well.

"Siyan, sorry, I beat you to it," Chen Mei'Er said, sticking her tongue out after sitting down.

"It's okay," Liu Siyan replied. Although she wanted to sit there, now wasn't the time to fuss over such things.

"Bro..."

"Hmm? You're here too."

"Thank you..."

"Just watch. Our Ye Family isn't someone anyone can bully casually."

Ye Shaolong's sudden acknowledgment of 'bro' made Xiaofan inexplicably moved. In reality, Xiaofan's efforts had not gone unnoticed by Ye Shaolong, who completely understands now how naive he was in the past, making this acknowledgment especially sincere.

"Alright, let's warm up the car, familiarize ourselves with the route first. Sis, aren't you getting in Han's car? This race tonight is all for you."

After Xiaofan exchanged pleasantries with those around him, he looked over at Han Shengjun's car not far away.

Upon hearing this, Ye Weiwei was momentarily stunned, glanced at Han Shengjun who had already started the car, thought for a moment, and still walked over to the passenger side to sit in.

Ye Weiwei riding in someone else's car? This was the first anyone heard of it. Clearly, Ye Weiwei knew the little tricks men have during competitions. If Han Shengjun didn't have a woman by his side, it wouldn't be appropriate. Upon looking again, it seemed Ye Weiwei was the only one suitable to sit there.

While the two cars warmed up, the external betting started to go wild.

A newcomer, someone who has never raced before, daring to bet ten million against Zhang Yuxuan, it's hard to say how that will turn out.

However, Zhou Sheng and Luo Shirong are veteran racers who have run this road countless times, with reputations on the line, their win rate is certainly higher.

"Hehe, I'm betting on Xiaofan to win," Li San seized the opportunity and wanted to place a bet.

"Don't bother, Mei'Er just said that her family also has shares in the external betting, it's all family money," Liu Siyan said casually.

"Ah, what a rare chance to earn money," Li San replied regretfully.

"Why are you all so sure my bro will win?" Ye Shaolong asked in bewilderment.

"Hey, just watch. Such a small-scale race, in our eyes, is nothing,"

Where does Li San's confidence come from? Has Xiaofan ever trained in racing? No, right? Then why? Could he have a guaranteed way to win?

After covering over twenty kilometers, Xiaofan quickly returned to the starting point, ready to start the race. His opponent is Zhou Sheng, who just experienced a car accident.

The two put on Bluetooth headsets intending to receive immediate notifications if any cars approached from another direction.

Han and Luo Shirong were both waiting at the top of the mountain. Now, the race was in countdown mode.

'Three, two, one...'

A young woman in the middle of the road gently waved a handkerchief, which fluttered to the ground.

The two already-revving cars roared to life, and with a whoosh, they both sped off almost simultaneously.

At the start, Xiaofan was actually a bit faster than Zhou Sheng? This was beyond Zhang Yuxuan's expectations, and even more surprising, the gap widened at the first corner.

How could this be? Both cars are the same model, and Zhou Sheng is known for his skill on this road; how could he be left behind so quickly?

"Oh, yeah, faster, faster!"

"Wow, catching up, catching up. Xiaofan, hurry up!"

"Accelerate, accelerate... Ah, that's it."

From the start, Chen Mei'Er cheered loudly in the car, while Xiaofan maintained a calm demeanor, steering with one hand with no sign of tension.

"Shut up, calm down please."

"I won't, go faster, come on, faster!"

A drone followed them, and stationed staff with binoculars quickly relayed updates to the spectators waiting at the starting point.

"Wow, Ye Xiaofan's car is constantly leading, though his speed isn't particularly fast. Just as Zhou Sheng tries to overtake, Xiaofan blocks him, preventing any chance of overtaking. It's truly exciting."

"Past the last corner, Ye Xiaofan's car starts accelerating. Han Shengjun is prepared to start downhill. Close, it's close... Both cars complete the first half almost simultaneously, and Han Shengjun and Luo Shirong's cars take off almost at the same time."

"Han, it's your turn."

"Got it, it's the first task you gave me since I came back, I'll definitely see it through."

"No, this time it's for yourself."

Shutting off the intercom, Xiaofan turned off the ignition and stepped out of the car.

Watching the two cars speeding down, he allowed a faint smile to slip across his lips.

"Hey, Ye Xiaofan, what's going on? You had plenty of chances to extend the lead, why keep driving so leisurely?" Chen Mei'Er asked, puzzled.

"For them."

"Them? Who are them? You mean Han Shengjun? And Ye Weiwei?"

"Yes, if I had led the full twelve kilometers, Han wouldn't have had any pressure in his run, and even if we won, it would have been routine. But now, with both cars starting almost together, the race will surely be more intense. The one most nervous now isn't Han, it's my sister. Hey..."

"Wow, who knew a kid like you could be so devious."

"What do you know, Han's a good man. If my sister's willing to be with him, it wouldn't be a bad match. Mm, let's go back."
