NOVEL NEXT Chapter 329 Navigator
Ke Linger also realized the shock in Wang Ye's eyes when he looked at her, and immediately puffed out her chest proudly, flaunting her 36D.
Wang Ye: "???"
Sister, I was just surprised by your superb racing skills, I didn't say anything about your driving skills!
And then.
Ke Linger started driving her car, taking Wang Ye for a spin around Forty-Nine Turns Mountain.
It must be said that Ke Linger's driving skills were really quite impressive.
When Ke Linger was driving, her whole demeanor changed. Gone was the innocent yet heroic air usual in her interactions, and replaced by a purely heroic aura. She looked very serious as her eyes focused on the road ahead.
And from just the look in Ke Linger's eyes alone, Wang Ye could feel her love for car racing.
…
The news that Wang Ye would race that night against the Forever Young Photography Team spread quickly around Forty-Nine Turns Mountain.
Those on Forty-Nine Turns Mountain felt that Wang Ye was overestimating himself when they heard the news.
"Wang Ye? Isn't he just good at business and skilled in medicine? He's never been to Forty-Nine Turns Mountain before. Without a few days to familiarize himself, he probably won't be able to finish a full lap of Forty-Nine Turns Mountain. Under these circumstances, Wang Ye still wants to beat the Forever Young Photography Team?"
"Maybe it's because Wang Ye didn't really intend to win against the Forever Young Photography Team this time. Perhaps he wants them to join the photography for their TV series. If so, he could get to know the Forever Young Team first. Then, when Wang Ye needs the Forever Young Team later on, he could give it another shot."
"Wang Ye is being too arrogant, or maybe he never planned to win at all. The name Forty-Nine Turns Mountain itself suggests the perilous nature of the roads. And he's going straight into a race after just one loop? Although Ke Linger is navigating for him, it still isn't the way to go."
However, the rich second-generation car enthusiasts in Forty-Nine Turns Mountain were merely questioning Wang Ye—they didn't say anything too harsh.
After all, they knew that despite their usual lack of seriousness, Wang Ye, in his twenties, had become the chairman of Yun City's number one conglomerate solely on his own merit.
Yun City's largest conglomerate may not be much compared to the great families in Capital City, but if they could avoid offending Wang Ye, they would.
But.
Those women who had just come over and immediately surrounded Wang Ye, with the intention of profiting from him, clearly did not have such awareness.
At that time, Wang Ye refused them so bluntly and had just told them he didn't want to meet any new friends. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he was off meeting new friends. This left them feeling as if they had been slapped in the face.
So, when they started to speak about Wang Ye, they didn't mince their words, mocking and ridiculing him. They were as nasty as they could manage in their speech.
"This Wang Ye always thinks he knows best. He thinks he's something special because of the little success he's had online. He believes he can excel in every field? Pfft, he's just an egomaniac overly confident due to some minor achievements. He'll probably run into problems during the race tonight."
"Exactly, Forty-Nine Turns Mountain isn't a joke. A guy who's never been to Forty-Nine Turns, thinking he can race there just because he took one lap with Ke Linger? That's ludicrous. I just hope nothing happens to Wang Ye. Otherwise, it would be such a pity if Ke Linger got into trouble with him."
"Alas, maybe Wang Ye and Ke Linger had no intention of completing the entire race from the start. Instead, they might have planned to find a spot during the halfway lovey-dovey process for some purpose. Otherwise, why wouldn't Wang Ye pay us any attention when he just arrived here, yet he went straight to Ke Linger when she greeted him? I think they've known each other from the beginning."
...
Twenty minutes later.
Ke Linger drove Wang Ye to the foot of the mountain.
In fact, with Ke Linger's driving speed, it would only take about fifteen minutes to make a round trip on Forty-Nine Turns Mountain.
But, Ke Linger slowed down a bit in order to let Wang Ye get more familiar with the terrain.
"Wang Ye."
As soon as Wang Ye got out of Ke Linger's car, He Gu came directly towards him and said, "I brought your car over."
"Hmm, thank you."
Wang Ye thanked He Gu.
"It's nothing." He Gu patted Wang Ye's shoulder. Even though Wang Ye had Ke Linger as the pilot guide, He Gu still felt a bit worried.
He reminded Wang Ye, "If you can't beat us tonight, we don't necessarily have to decide the winner in one go. You can practice here for a week, and we can try again after a week. Ke Linger can still be your pilot guide. However, what you need to pay attention to is safety!"
"Don't worry, I definitely will!"
Wang Ye smiled and patted He Gu's shoulder back.
During the recent round, Wang Ye had already memorized all the details of Forty-Nine Turns Mountain, including where the curves were and every small stone, twig, and all sorts of big and small things. Wang Ye had noted them all down.
Even without Ke Linger as his pilot guide, Wang Ye would manage.
And the reason Wang Ye had Ke Linger as his pilot guide was simply to reassure these people.
Otherwise, Wang Ye was afraid that they would opt out of racing against him over concerns for his safety.
Wang Ye sat down in the Spyker C8, Ke Linger in the passenger seat, and the Spyker C8 was positioned at the starting line.
He Gu, Yao Xin, Yan Chuang, and Tian Hailin had also taken their places in their respective cars.
This was a race between the five of them.
And alongside the track, many people had already gathered. Although in their eyes, this race was sure to be won by the Forever Young Team.
But Wang Ye's identity was there for all to see.
