Chapter 1066 — A Plot Against Feng Xiaoxiao

Though the Range Rover was in the lead, it was hardly a comfortable one. The bald man in sunglasses drove with one eye on the road and the other on the Audi in his rearview mirror.
He had no wish to open up too great a gap between himself and Wei Zhao and the others, so he did not push the car to its limit. Otherwise, on the two-kilometer run-up from here to the mountain road, he could easily have taken it up to three hundred.
Ring-ring-ring. A cell phone rang, and the bald man in sunglasses answered it.
"Hello?" He took the call while driving, his manner utterly composed. Evidently, a race like this did not seem to weigh on his mind at all.
"Third Brother, how is it that I see a man sitting in Little Feng's car? What does the fellow do?" A man's voice came through the receiver.
"Second Brother, that man seems to be a bodyguard Feng Tianlong found for Little Feng." The bald man in sunglasses paused in thought, then said, "He appears to have some skill in fighting. Of course, I cannot rule out that he is a boyfriend Little Feng found for herself — they look quite intimate."
"Oh, then we kill them both together. Third Brother, are you confident?" The man called Second Brother pondered a moment before speaking.
"Do not forget where I come from — I am a retired world Formula One driver!" The bald man in sunglasses spoke with perfect composure. "I had already planned to kill them both together. If anyone is to blame, it is him for mixing with Feng Tianlong's daughter!"
"I trust your driving! I have already readied a helicopter, standing by at the summit. The moment you succeed, I will send the helicopter to pick you up and get you out of there!" said Second Brother.
"All right, we are coming up on the bends, so no more talk for now. I need to find an opening and kill them!" said the bald man in sunglasses. "But for the moment, I must wait for these two doomed fools! Had I known they would race in a sports car of such small displacement, I would have switched to another car!"
Though the bald man in sunglasses had read Feng Xiaoxiao's file and knew she usually drove an Audi, he had assumed she would bring something a little better to a race. But he had clearly misjudged: the car Feng Xiaoxiao brought to the track was still her own Audi!
Sure enough, just as Wei Zhao had said, once the Range Rover entered the mountain road, it visibly slowed. To accelerate on a road like this was essentially to court death — though the truly skilled were the exception, of course!
Naturally, Wei Zhao was skilled in this regard. But Wei Zhao suspected that the bald man in sunglasses was skilled as well!
If he were not, that flawless drift before the race would have been beyond the reach of an ordinary man! Distance and speed had been gauged to perfection: a hair more and he would have crashed into Feng Xiaoxiao's car; a hair less and his front end could not have swung out so squarely.
One could say that before the drift, the driver of the Range Rover had calculated angle and position precisely enough to achieve exactly that effect. RO
