Seeing Afi about to lose his temper and start a fight, even before the race, he couldn't swallow his pride.
Xie Sui patted his shoulder. "Don't be angry. Dealing with fools lowers your IQ. Does bringing your girlfriend make you so formidable? He's still a baby who hasn't weaned. Eating a few bites mid-race, he needs a nanny constantly, doesn't he?"
Afi chuckled. This Mr. Xie had a vicious tongue!
"Ahao: You're asking for a beating!"
"Fighting, huh? Come on! If I don't kill you, my surname will be yours. That punk just now knelt and apologized. Are you tougher than him?"
Xie Sui wasn't going to humor him. In this kind of situation, one couldn't back down. One had to be arrogant, flamboyant, and then people would recognize you.
"Alright, the race is about to start. You two go get ready."
The organizer of the venue came to stop them, suggesting they fight after the race.
Xie Sui returned to Du Feiyang's side and started placing bets. Naturally, he bet on Afi to win, placing a million directly. Others bet on Ahao or other racers. Du Feiyang and He Mengchao followed Xie Sui, each betting a million. Afi's worth had already reached three million.
Race car drivers received commissions. If they won, the cut was larger. If they lost, merely surviving was fortunate, as medical expenses were not covered, which was quite grim.
The roar of the race cars made blood surge. Xie Sui chuckled, "If this were a proper track, I'd play a couple of rounds myself. This place is not suitable. We should get a race car to play with later."
Du Feiyang said, "I have several in my garage. You can drive any of them."
"Alright then, thanks. I won't be polite with you, Brother Du."
"If you're polite with me, I'll be angry. You don't consider me family."
By now, Du Feiyang and He Mengchao had a good relationship with Xie Sui. The others were merely acquaintances, looking down on him. He was just a nouveau riche from the mainland, not worth befriending.
Having a drink, being approached by beautiful women to chat with for a while, it wasn't boring. An hour later, the race cars returned. Afi was the champion.
Ahao came in second, throwing his helmet in anger. Not satisfied, he even slapped his female companion twice. The beauty fell to the ground, but no one paid her any mind. Instead, they cheered and applauded, causing the woman extreme shame and humiliation.
"What kind of character is this? Hitting a woman is the most detestable. If you can't handle losing, don't play!"
Xie Sui, with his damned kindness, helped the girl up and stuffed a wad of cash into her hand. "Don't stay with him anymore. Live a normal life. This scoundrel doesn't treat you like a human."
The girl thanked him. More than the money, Xie Sui's comfort warmed her heart. Su Dan Novel Network
Afi happily said, "Mr. Xie, I won! Thank you for your reminder."
"You've won, so go collect your winnings. It's enough for you to get married."
Afi received more money than he had expected, a hundred thousand yuan. Ordinary people wouldn't earn that much in several years. He walked with a bounce, as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Xie Sui also made some money, just a few hundred thousand, which was truly just playing around.
On the way back, the three of them sat in one car, Du Feiyang's bulletproof vehicle, which had the best performance. He knew he was hated and was very cautious when going out.
Xie Sui thought about his future plans. Just speculating in stocks wouldn't work. He needed to build a business. The money he had now was not enough to buy a house. It was not yet time to open a factory; his capital was too small.
Suddenly, Xie Sui heard a strange sound from the car and immediately said, "Stop, let's get out and check."
The driver looked at Du Feiyang, awaiting his command. Du Feiyang wondered, "What is it? I'm so tired, I want to go back to sleep."
It seemed like only their car was around, and the darkness was eerily unsettling. Xie Sui said, "I hear something wrong with the car. What if someone tampered with it? If you don't want to die, get out and check. Caution prevents great mistakes."
The drowsiness of the two instantly vanished. "Stop!"
The driver's face turned pale. "Young Master, this is bad. The brakes are not working."
"What?"
Du Feiyang and the other two panicked. "How can they not be working? What do we do?"
Xie Sui calmed down. "Don't panic. Find a steep slope to slow down."
"This is a mountain road going downhill, there are no steep slopes!"
Who would want to harm them? They chose a terrible time. Going downhill, coupled with brake failure, was truly life-threatening.
Xie Sui climbed into the co-pilot's seat. "Listen to my instructions, don't panic."
The advantage of a winding mountain road was that there were mountains on the sides and some small side roads. Xie Sui directed him to aim for a side road and rush onto it. After a violent jolt, just as the car was about to flip, it finally stopped.
Xie Sui quickly opened the car door and got out. He looked back. The two young masters were safe, only a bit pale, with no major injuries.
"Come out. Great disasters bring great fortune. Congratulations to you both."
Du Feiyang's legs were trembling, he was almost peeing his pants. He Mengchao was not much better. Getting out, he saw that the front of the car was smashed, a large tree was broken in half, and the airbags had deployed. Fortunately, the car had good performance; otherwise, the immense impact would have caused the car to flip, and they would have fallen off the cliff, still resulting in death.
"Ah Sui, it's fortunate you noticed something was wrong. You saved both our lives!"
Xie Sui said, "Stay far away. What if the car leaks oil and explodes? You were lucky to have met me. We'll investigate later. I suspect it wasn't an accident."
Du Feiyang was so angry he cursed, "Don't let me find out who plotted against me, or I'll annihilate their entire family."
Xie Sui didn't bother with that. He walked to the main road, waiting for his bodyguards to arrive. Honestly, he was a little scared too. Making money was really difficult; he even thought about quitting and going back.
Spending his life with Wanwan and the children would be enough.
"Boss, are you alright?"
The bodyguards were also scared. Seeing the car crash, they didn't understand what the young masters were playing at.
"Almost ended it all. The car was tampered with. Young Master Du is investigating. We're going back. You all should remember to check the car before driving in the future."
"Understood, boss. Don't worry."
The bodyguards stayed behind to help with the aftermath. The three finally returned to the city and, instead of going home, stayed at Xie Sui's hotel for the night.
It had been a thrilling night. Xie Sui slept until the sun was high, and a new day began.
The other two slept even later, both waking up at noon.
Breakfast was delivered. The server said, "Mr. Xie, someone is looking for you in the lobby. Do you have an appointment?"
"What do they look like?"
"A young man, accompanied by a young lady. They look like a couple."
It was Afi. Xie Sui said, "Please invite them up here. Do you have my phone number?"
The server left several numbers, all for tabloid reporters. Xie Sui, the "Little God of Stock," had a sensational reputation, and they all wanted to interview him.
Xie Sui ate breakfast while reading the newspaper. Afi and his girlfriend came in. Both were a bit reserved, intimidated by the hotel's opulent decor, unsure where to put their hands.
His girlfriend was very delicate, wearing a white dress, looking frail and helpless. Xie Sui didn't expect Afi to like this type. "Sit down, don't be polite. I'll finish soon. There are drinks at the bar. Help yourselves."
