Chapter 379: One Step Too Late
The car that flew past was car No. 4. The audience saw the car number clearly but could not see the driver and thought that the driver wanted to hide their identity so that they could remain a legend for generations to come.
Song Wenye was confused and looked at Lin Ge grumpily. “What’s going on?”
Lin Ge shook his head and panicked. ‘How would I know what was going on? Sister Xi and Alpha Xu’s car passed them and should’ve stopped at the finish line. They would’ve been the winner of this competition.’
Song Wenye had a bad feeling. She heard the crowd’s frantic cheers and saw the red sports car rushing past the finish line.
The red sports car, like the blue one, rushed past the finish line without slowing down or stopping, then disappeared.
“F*ck!” Song Wenye let out a low curse. She felt a surge of panic at the bottom of her eyes and jumped over the guardrail onto the track. “Something’s wrong.”
She knew Fu Qingli, the eldest Fu brother, was driving the red car.
Fu Qingli looked terrifying when he carjacked that car and sped off.
Song Wenye had no idea what was going on at the time, but now she had an inkling that Fu Qingli knew something was going to happen to Xixi, so he went after them.
If so, it meant that Shen Xi’s car had been tampered with.
‘Xu Wei! That b*tch!’
Song Wenye grabbed a motorcycle nearby and wanted to chase after them. Before she could start the bike, she heard another engine roar next to her.
A white sports car like a bolt of lightning flashed by as it rushed across the finish line and vanished into the darkness.
‘F*ck! Fu Qingxuan! The person in the white sports car is Fu Qingxuan!’
Song Wenye could not afford to think much and rolled the throttle to the maximum speed. She prayed that they did not get into an accident.
Not to mention the fans, even the judges were confused. When they saw the first, second, and third place approaching, all of them disappeared before they could announce the results.
However, through the drone footage, they saw the blue sports car rubbing its body on the left side of the mountain.
The car was going too fast, so the moment it hit the mountain, there were sparks in the air. Everyone watched in horror.
The blue sports car seemed to gradually slow down because of the friction.
The red sports car was still accelerating and would catch up with the blue sports car soon.
In the red sports car, Fu Qingli’s handsome face sank and he emitted a palpitating chill. His deep, cold eyes were deadly as he stared at the blue car in the distance.
He was terrifyingly calm. Only his hand that was clutching the steering wheel betrayed his true emotions. His knuckles were white and the veins at the back of his hand popped.
Fu Qingli saw the car in front of him had finally begun to save itself one attempt after another by hitting the left side of the mountain, trying to slow down.
The sky was completely dark, and because of the rain, visibility was not great. Even the street lights by the road were a little blurred.
However, Fu Qingli could see the sparks when the blue car scraped against the mountain and felt terrified.
One kilometer.
Five hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
Fu Qingli was getting closer to Shen Xi. His deep and calm eyes had a madness that rippled in them as he held his breath.
There was only one chance. He had to grasp the distance and the speed of their cars accurately. While her car was slowing down, he would overtake her and block her from the front. There was no room for error.
This was a very risky attempt, but he could not think of other ways to help her stop the car.
The blue sports car was slowing down gradually.
Up ahead was a long vertical cliff and a very flat wall, which was suitable for speed reduction. However, the end of that cliff was a large boulder.
Shen Xi hooked her lips slightly and gripped the steering wheel tightly. She reminded Pei Xu. “Get ready, I’m gonna start slowing down.”
Pei Xu looked over and saw the girl smiling with bloodthirst and confidence. He nodded. “I’m ready.”
Behind them.
Fu Qingli’s car had already caught up and was close behind them. He had a precise plan in his heart. When he saw the cliff, there was a glint of hope in his cold sunken eyes.
It seemed that this girl had already planned how to slow down and stop here. She was not brainless after all, but even so, they still might not be able to slow down.
If she could not drop her speed here, then there was a long and steep downhill slope ahead, which would make the car accelerate again and lose control.
As expected, the car in front of him began to move next to the vertical cliff.
Fu Qingli saw this scene in front of him and had to admire the girl’s superb driving skills. He was even ashamed of himself after seeing such a master.
The distance between the body of the car and the cliff must be maintained just right because just an extra inch would hurt the people in the car. If the car body did not graze the cliff, then it would not achieve the effect of slowing down the car.
They only had about one minute, which was not too much or too little time.
Fu Qingli silently began the countdown in his heart. The moment he counted to zero, he accelerated and sped forward, but when he was about to turn the steering wheel, there was a loud bang.
The car in front had rammed into the boulder at the end of the cliff.
Fu Qingli was terrified that his face turned pale. He had never before felt so much panic and despair, and his mind was blank.
The pain coming from his heart had him freeze for a moment, before trembling uncontrollably. He just felt so cold, like his blood and breath turned into ice.
Fu Qingli had no clue how he stopped his car, nor did he know exactly how he got out of the car and walked over to the crash site.
He had it all planned out. He could have stopped her car and saved her but plans never go accordingly. He was still one step too late!
The hood of the blue sports car was seriously deformed. Broken glass was all over the place. The chassis was twisted and the scene was shockingly tragic.
Fu Qingli walked to the car door and could smell blood instantly filling his nasal cavity. This made him so anxious that his eyes turned red. He looked through the broken window, only to see a pair of bloody arms under the broken airbag.
He quickly smashed the car window and opened the car door from the inside. He tore away the airbag in a panic and found that it was not Shen Xi, but the boy who was with her.
The boy used his body to protect Shen Xi. Half of his face was covered in blood, and those bloody arms were also his.
Fu Qingli tried to calm himself down. He reached out to probe the boy’s artery and found that he was still alive before he let out a sigh of relief. He then pushed the boy away to check on Shen Xi.
Who would have known, in the next moment…
