Chapter 1067 — Wei Zhao's Suspicion, and His Kick at the Car After Getting Out Was Also a Kind of Test of the Bald Man in Sunglasses
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
According to what Feng Xiaoxiao and the fashionable young man had said earlier, the first race was generally meant for novices — but this bald man in sunglasses was plainly no novice. He was a veteran!
And his silence, his refusal to hit back, only deepened Wei Zhao's suspicion. Anyone else, after having his car kicked, would show at least some displeasure — the only difference being whether he was forceful about it or not. But the bald man in sunglasses had not said a single word, a complete departure from the petty thug image he had worn before.
"He's slowing down, he's slowing down! He really is slowing down!" Feng Xiaoxiao cried out in delighted surprise.
"Heh..." Wei Zhao only smiled faintly, the doubt in his heart deepening another notch. Another anomaly!
With the bald man's driving skill, he should not be slowing down here! This was only the first lap of the winding mountain road, not the least bit steep; all one had to do was hold the wheel steady. Even an ordinary driver would have no trouble, let alone a bald man in sunglasses who was so skilled at drifting!
Yet he had chosen this very moment to slow down! Such a rather obvious bit of playacting — only Wei Zhao suspected it. Feng Xiaoxiao was in a state of such excitement that she was unlikely to notice the flaw.
What puzzled Wei Zhao, though, was what the bald man in sunglasses was actually after. Did he simply want to swindle Feng Xiaoxiao out of two hundred thousand? Or did he have some other purpose?
If he did have another purpose, Wei Zhao found it hard to believe. His bringing Feng Xiaoxiao here to race could be called entirely coincidental — unless this man had been watching Feng Xiaoxiao, or him, all along, waiting for a chance to make his move!
Yet many events that seem coincidental are, behind the scenes, inevitabilities carefully plotted by an enemy. Wei Zhao kept himself constantly on guard. Never mind whether the bald man in sunglasses truly had other designs — Wei Zhao was already wary of him.
Slow down, then. Suit yourself. A faint smile flickered at the corner of Wei Zhao's mouth as he slammed his foot down on the accelerator. The Audi's engine let out a roar, and Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao's car shot forward in an instant!
They were about to enter the winding mountain curve, and Wei Zhao had not only failed to slow down — he was accelerating!
The crowd of men and women watching the race through binoculars all cried out in astonishment! On the winding mountain curve, one did not need to slow down, but no one had ever been seen accelerating there either! Was this not courting death?
Feng Xiaoxiao was someone who understood this principle too. Though she had always watched others race before, she had also driven this road during practice — only back then it had not been a chase like this, not so tense.
But Feng Xiaoxiao also knew that one could not accelerate on the winding mountain curve! Everyone else accelerated on the straightaways, yet Wei Zhao was accelerating on the winding mountain curve? What kind of driving was that?
"Wei Zhao, darling, why are you speeding up?" Feng Xiaoxiao was startled.
"How else am I supposed to overtake him?" Wei Zhao said mildly, not feeling in the least that accelerating was anything special!
After a few more bursts of acceleration, Wei Zhao's car instantly overtook the Range Rover ahead, and once he was on the winding mountain curve, he still kept accelerating without pause! A sharp turn was coming up right ahead, and Wei Zhao was still accelerating!
"Ah—" Feng Xiaoxiao screamed, though it was not a scream of fear but of excitement!
