Chapter 141: Brother-in-Law, Charge!
"Ah~~~~~!!!!"
Tonight, Cen An'an finally experienced what true thrills were all about... Sitting in the passenger seat, Cen An'an's heart rate had long since reached the peak value of her life, leaving her with no choice but to scream at the top of her lungs to alleviate the intense load bearing down on her heart...
Originally, Cen An'an had thought that the roller coasters, giant pendulums, and drop towers at Disneyland were thrilling enough. But compared to riding in a car driven by Xue Tian'ai, she felt that those previously terrifying-looking attractions were completely child's play...
Furthermore, this was definitely the first time she had ever seen a car that simply refused to slow down! Her brother-in-law, Xue Tian'ai, had been driving with crazy acceleration ever since he launched the car past the starting line! That gas pedal had not been released even once!! Not even she, Cen An'an, would dare to play like this when playing racing video games before!!!!!!!!
The pitch-black Ferrari driven by Xue Tian'ai resembled a bolt of black lightning, tearing through the entire Ter Shan Underground Racing Circuit!
"Bro... Brother-in-law, the... there's a turn ahead..." Although Cen An'an was not a street racer, she still understood the traffic regulations of Huaxia! She knew full well that when encountering a bend, a normal person would definitely slow down to ensure safety!
But was Xue Tian'ai a normal person?
The answer was self-evident!
Of course not!
"Mere curves are hardly worth mentioning!" A devilishly charming smile crept onto Xue Tian'ai's cool face. Without the slightest intention of preparing to slow down, he simply wrenched the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the turn, stepped on the brake with his other foot, and locked the steering wheel completely at that very moment!
"Screeeech!"
The ear-piercing sound of rubber grinding against asphalt rang out. Driving that pitch-black Ferrari Portofino, Xue Tian'ai hugged the inner side of the corner, his rear bumper sweeping past the edge of the road, executing a flawless drift in one single, fluid motion!
Meanwhile, in front of the massive screen inside the spectator lounge, one of Cen An'an's friends stared with her jaw dropped in disbelief, asking Tang Fangling beside her, "Fangling, I must be seeing things, right? That car has got to be the one driven by An'an's boyfriend..."
At this moment, Tang Fangling was naturally stunned by this ultimate, flawless drift. Although Xue Tian'ai was still a great distance away from the top six racers due to that opening one-minute delay, judging solely by this single drift! An'an's boyfriend was definitely not as simple as they had originally imagined! It seemed that his arrogance truly had backing! It looked like An'an's unconditional trust in her boyfriend wasn't just a case of being blinded by love after all!
"Holy crap! Who on earth is this guy? Why did he suddenly become such a beast?..."
"This drift is without a doubt the most perfect drift I've ever seen in my life! At least nobody at the Ter Shan Racing Circuit could pull off this drift! This newly joined competitor is no ordinary person! He's definitely a master!" exclaimed a middle-aged man who appeared to be a regular spectator at the Ter Shan underground races.
"Tch, tch, he's probably just some reckless hothead with a bit of luck!"
"Exactly, exactly... That was just one single drift after all..."
While there were voices of admiration, there were naturally also voices of disparagement. Evidently, some people still refused to believe that Xue Tian'ai possessed genuine skill, dismissing that previous drift as sheer luck!
Even as the spectators argued heatedly, the racing participant sitting in the passenger seat had a completely blank mind. Cen An'an felt that during that last turn, her brother-in-law Xue Tian'ai wasn't racing at all—he was practically gambling with his life!
Who in the world takes a corner without slowing down? Driving like this was going to get you pulled over and lectured at the police station by some pretty female police officers...
Xue Tian'ai continued his wild rampage. Half a minute later, another curve appeared right before Xue Tian'ai and Cen An'an's eyes. Suddenly, Cen An'an caught sight of a pair of Ferrari taillights ahead, as that Ferrari was clearly also navigating this bend!
"Brother-in-law... There's a car ahead, there's a car!"
If you aren't going to slow down for empty turns, fine, but when there's actually a car on the curve, you should at least slow down a little, otherwise those pretty police officers really are going to take you to the station...
"Isn't having a car ahead of us just right? Isn't this competition all about seeing who is the fastest?" Xue Tian'ai continued to ramp up the speed, his hands dancing unceasingly across the steering wheel.
Meanwhile, the driver inside the Ferrari ahead caught sight of the black Ferrari driven by Xue Tian'ai in his rearview mirror and jumped out of his skin! He had completely forgotten that there was still another competitor in this race! Besides wasn't this guy supposed to be a total amateur? Just how on earth did he catch up so fast?
Wait, is this guy an absolute lunatic?!!!!!! This is a corner! Doesn't he know how to brake?!?!?
However, Xue Tian'ai gave him no chance to react. He whipped the steering wheel around once more, counter-steering as the vehicle's body once again shifted into a drift trajectory!
"Screeeech!"
Accompanied by that harsh screeching sound, Cen An'an's eyes gradually widened, a thin layer of cold sweat beading on her forehead. Xue Tian'ai's car was getting closer and closer, closer and closer to the car ahead!!
"Brother-in-law... We're gonna crash, we're gonna crash!"
"That is absolute nonsense!"
Executing a drift even more perfect than the last, Xue Tian'ai's pitch-black Ferrari swept the guardrails at the edge of the track with its rear, showering sparks into the air, before overtaking the Ferrari ahead directly from the outside line!
Afterward, he straightened the wheels and accelerated fiercely once more, leaving the trailing Ferrari choking in his dust!
"What the fuck, this bastard is a maniac!!" The driver of the overtaken Ferrari slammed his foot on the brake! After spinning around in a full circle, the car came to a halt on the roadside! The driver's entire body was drenched in sweat; in all his years of racing, he had never encountered anyone who dared to drive like this!
Lone Dog was in trouble! You could even say Lone Dog had bitten off more than he could chew! This seemingly clueless pretty boy was definitely a master! And not just a master, but a lunatic!
"..." At this moment, Cen An'an's pretty face in the passenger seat of the black Ferrari had turned completely pale. Just a moment ago, she felt like she had seen ghostly spirits beckoning to her, though her brother-in-law's wild driving had successfully shaken off those life-claiming demons...
"Brother-in-law, did you... did you buy insurance?" Cen An'an shrank back, gripping her seatbelt tightly, pressing her entire body against the passenger door as she trembled out those words.
"Didn't buy any. What's insurance? What do you need that junk for?" Xue Tian'ai's eyes remained fixed straight ahead, driving the black Ferrari as it emitted a beast-like roar and transformed into a dark phantom charging forward.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't buy my insurance for this year either. Should we... should we slow down a bit..."
"When the young master of the Xue family is racing, slowing down is never an option! Besides, the thing I despise the most is flies buzzing around right in front of me!" At this instant, an aura of stubborn determination radiated from Xue Tian'ai.
Cen An'an was practically on the verge of tears. *Brother-in-law, neither of us has insurance! If something happens to us, wouldn't we take a massive loss?*
"Don't worry, An'an, just rest easy riding with your brother-in-law. My driving skills come with zero negative reviews!" Xue Tian'ai smoothly negotiated another perilous bend with yet another dashing and beautiful drift.
...Cen An'an thought with a trace of pessimism...
The pitch-black Ferrari Portofino kicked up dust from the asphalt road, still charging forward, still overtaking...
Meanwhile, almost all the spectators watching the race had gone wild. Whether in the outdoor viewing area or the indoor stands, the atmosphere was already lively beyond measure! This was simply too incredible! The people who witnessed the performance of the black Ferrari Portofino had practically gone crazy!
Starting a whole minute late, he had somehow managed to overtake two people in succession!! And the most important thing was that the black Ferrari Portofino was now putting on a textbook-level, flamboyant display of driving!
Tang Fangling and the other three girls were still staring intently at the massive screen. Although Xue Tian'ai's current performance truly exceeded their imagination, Lone Dog's condition today also seemed exceptionally good! The yellow-patterned Ferrari driven by Lone Dog was currently holding the third position! It still held a massive, distant lead over Xue Tian'ai!
Furthermore, Lone Dog was already past the halfway mark of the race track. Could Xue Tian'ai, who started so late, possibly win??
The live commentator was also somewhat excited as he described the on-track situation to the audience members who couldn't see the big screen: "After a brilliant acceleration and drift, our new competitor's black Ferrari has once again overtaken another opponent on a short straightaway, climbing up to the fourth position! Can our new competitor overtake the remaining rivals ahead of him? Currently holding the third position is none other than our competitor Lone Dog!"
"Rumor has it that there's even a wager between Lone Dog and our newcomer! Could the showdown of the bet be about to begin?! Let us wait and see! Go for it, newcomer! Go for it, Lone Dog!"
Xue Tian'ai's eyes narrowed slightly. By this point, he had pushed this un-modified, pitch-black Ferrari Portofino to its absolute maximum speed limit, causing the thin frame of the sports car to tremble violently!
"Brother-in-law, is this car about to fall apart..." Cen An'an asked nervously from the side.
"That doesn't matter..."
"..." Hearing Xue Tian'ai's reply, Cen An'an was completely bewildered. *That doesn't matter? Hey, hey, hey, what on earth does matter then...*
Just as Cen An'an wore a tearful expression, preparing to plead with Xue Tian'ai to slow down.
"Look, that dog is right in front of us now... Don't you want to hear that Lone Dog bark like a puppy?" A chilling glint flashed across Xue Tian'ai's eyes...
Cen An'an blankly looked ahead and saw a yellow-patterned Ferrari racing furiously right before them! At that moment, as if she had suddenly snapped out of her daze, her paper-white face instantly regained its healthy color.
Cen An'an had been too busy being terrified earlier, completely forgetting the original purpose of her coming to this race!
"Damn it, brother-in-law, let's go!"
Cen An'an's previous soft and cute demeanor vanished in an instant. The little demon was back online once again!!
