166: Chapter 166: Ning Wudi, Leaving All Behind!
Three minutes!
Four minutes!
Five minutes!
Wang Haitao was in top form today, covering the distance that used to take seven minutes in just five.
Xiao Hai looked at the real-time data on the screen and exclaimed excitedly, “Hai Tao might even break the single lap record set by Feiyun Club; he’s got this win in the bag!”
At this point, Ning Fan had been left a full lap behind, and almost everyone believed he had definitely lost.
“That’s ten million just thrown away, how foolish!”
Many shook their heads and sighed, feeling pity for Ning Fan while also filled with envy for Wang Haitao.
They had already planned how to warmly celebrate Wang Haitao’s victory!
However, just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!
Ning Fan, who had been trailing far behind, suddenly began to accelerate madly, not even slowing down a bit in the turns!
The conspicuous marks of the tires scraping the ground made those watching through the real-time screen nervous for him.
“Racing through the turns at such dangerous speeds without slowing down—if there’s even a slight mistake, he could crash and wreck both himself and the car.
Has Ning Fan gone mad?”
Wang Xiaodie murmured.
Someone beside her scornfully took over the conversation, saying, “He just can’t handle losing.
Ten million isn’t something everyone has the guts to give up.
Compared to his entire fortune, he obviously chooses money over life.
But no matter how desperately he tries, he can’t catch up now, because Hai Tao is only a minute away from the finish line!”
What this person said was indeed true; thus, although Wang Haitao noticed Ning Fan speeding up behind him, he wasn’t the slightest bit flustered.
He was even already planning how to celebrate his imminent victory and how to spend the ten million yuan wagered!
As for Ning Fan, he was slightly helpless, self-deprecatingly saying, “I’ve really been out of practice, such a minor issue, and it took me five minutes to fix.”
It turned out that the reason he had been lagging behind Wang Haitao was that he had been driving while fixing a problem with the car’s acceleration system!
And he had managed to fix it!
A brand-new acceleration system was in place, but the car ahead was not far from the finish line—could he catch up?
Ning Fan estimated the distance in his mind and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he twisted the accelerator, slamming the gas pedal to the floor!
The whole car shot through the racetrack like a streamlining current, rapidly closing the distance between him and Wang Haitao.
“This can’t be happening, could Wang Haitao lose this race?”
Wang Xiaodie felt her adrenaline starting to surge; probably not even the F1 Grand Prix finale broadcasted on TV could excite her this much!
“It’s true, he’s really speeding up.
He could very well pull off an overtaking maneuver!”
Zhou Jiangming also got excited and shouted loudly.
On the racetrack, Wang Haitao had also realized that he might be overtaken by Ning Fan, who was speeding up crazily behind him.
By then, he no longer had the luxury to wonder how Ning Fan’s problematic car had managed to accelerate successfully.
Clenching his teeth, a fierce look flashed in Wang Haitao’s eyes: “I absolutely won’t give up this ten million that’s almost in my hands!”
Wang Haitao’s heart sank as he directly blocked the road with his car, making it impossible to pass from either side.
If Ning Fan wanted to overtake him, he would need to reduce his speed and wait for the curve to make his move, but the road ahead was almost entirely straight.
As long as he maintained his lead, Wang Haitao could almost claim victory!
“Trying to block me like this?
Not so simple, young man.”
Ning Fan was completely charged up, the howling cold wind did nothing to cool his boiling blood.
He stood up straight, let out a long cry, and didn’t slow down at all!
“Oh no!
Is he going to crash into him?”
Viewers watching the live feed were alarmed and began to worry about Ning Fan’s fate.
Even Wang Haitao quietly reduced his speed, bracing for a collision.
But just then, Ning Fan suddenly lifted the front wheel and traced a stunning parabola in the air!
The race car flew right over the top of Wang Haitao’s car and sped off, quickly crossing the finish line!
“My God, I must be watching a TV show!”
Wang Xiaodie was completely dumbfounded, watching Ning Fan’s near-show-off maneuver, she held her head and frantically shook the nearby Zhou Jiangming, repeatedly muttering, “Am I dreaming, am I dreaming?”
Zhou Jiangming pinched her firmly to bring her back to her senses, then pointed at Ning Fan who had gotten off his car and said, “Ning Fan is here now, ask him anything you want to ask; I can assure you, you’re definitely not dreaming.”
“Sorry, you lost.”
After Wang Haitao’s car reached the finish line, Ning Fan gave a slight smile and uttered those words.
Having driven a faulty vehicle and overtaken Wang Haitao, who had led for most of the race, to reach the finish line first, it was impossible for Ning Fan not to feel exhilarated.
In contrast, Wang Haitao’s expression was extremely unpleasant.
He glared fiercely at Xiao Hai, who had chosen the car for Ning Fan, and then looked directly at Ning Fan and said, “What is this?
Looking for trouble?”
Ning Fan just smiled slightly and replied, “I’m not looking for trouble, it seems you are.
Now that you’ve lost, transfer ten million to me.
I’m quite generous, but sorry, we aren’t close.”
“You!”
Fury exploded within Wang Haitao, and he pointed at Ning Fan saying, “Don’t get too cocky.
Let’s see you compete with my master when he gets here!”
“Sorry, not interested.
Maybe when I have some time, prepare another ten million, and then perhaps I’ll consider coming over.”
Ning Fan smiled slightly and said to Xu Xiaoqing, “It’s getting late, let’s go back.”
Xu Xiaoqing knew that Ning Fan was somewhat angry, although he did not show it, she could feel it.
“Well…
I’ll be leaving first, bye, have fun!”
Xu Xiaoqing hurriedly said her goodbyes to her classmates and then turned to follow Ning Fan’s steps.
Wang Haitao had the intention to interfere, but seeing that Ning Fan seemed to forget about the ten million bet, he just kept quiet.
Yet, he felt extremely dissatisfied and clenched his teeth, muttering, “You just wait!”
Shortly after they left, a small convoy arrived at Feiyun Club, with the leader getting out of the car and immediately shouting, “Wang Haitao, where are you hiding, you rascal?”
“Master, you’re here!”
Wang Haitao was truly overjoyed, nearly bursting into tears, and quickly moved to his master Liu Neng.
