Genius Club-Chapter 235 - 59: Enemies on a Narrow Road

The celebration at the police department lasted for a while before everyone reluctantly dispersed.

It was apparent...

Recently, the colleagues at Donghai City Police Department were under tremendous pressure, receiving countless insults on the internet and in the complaint mailboxes every day.

But that’s all in the past now.

Once the case details were tidied up, it would be their moment to receive flowers, applause, and recognition.

From today, the Xu Yun Special Case Team was technically already non-existent.

It was ostensibly still around, but in reality, it had already disbanded.

After all, the case was solved, so naturally, there was no need to keep it going.

The other team members had returned to their respective posts, and the whole department was busy with the summary work for this series of serial killings.

Lin Xian arrived at the double room dormitory he had previously occupied.

Now that the special team had disbanded, it was time for him to move out.

The place had been quiet for days; Ji Lin’s things were long gone, taken with him when he went to Japan; although Lin Xian’s toiletries were still there, he hadn’t actually stayed here during that time.

He turned on the room’s light.

The empty room inevitably brought on a wave of emotion.

Nowadays, everyone thought that this bloody drama had completely finished.

Only he knew.

It wasn’t over yet.

This drama was one act shy of its finale.

Which side would take the final bow to the audience’s applause depended on this last showdown.

Lin Xian packed up his belongings, turned off the light, and took one last look at the room where he had cohabitated with Ji Lin for over half a month...

Bang.

He closed the door.

...

MX Company, 22nd floor, Zhao Yingjun’s office.

Lin Xian placed the Ferrari’s inherited keychain on Zhao Yingjun’s office desk.

"Done with it?"

Zhao Yingjun looked up and smiled,

"You really did a big thing with it."

"You heard?"

"Of course, such satisfying news spreads like wildfire. Even though the police haven’t released an official notice, I bet the whole city knows by now."

Zhao Yingjun propped up her chin, looking at Lin Xian,

"Donghai City Police Department must see you as a hero by now, right? You really did solve a big problem for them."

"I owe it to your car," Lin Xian pointed to the car keys on the desk,

"Without it, I might have been shaken off by the culprit, and then I wouldn’t be credited for this achievement."

"It seems you really do enjoy driving."

"Pretty much,"

Lin Xian chuckled,

"It’s probably the only thing I’m good at in this world."

"Then you’re being too modest."

Zhao Yingjun leaned back into her executive chair, looking at Lin Xian,

"You have many strengths and talents for everyone to see. It’s said that a good steed needs a good saddle; if you like this car, just take it for yourself. I don’t usually drive it, as I have a driver."

"No, no, every time I make your car so messed up, I feel embarrassed,"

Lin Xian waved his hand, turning to today’s main topic,

"I’m really grateful you lent me the car and trusted me with it. I don’t have anything worthy to repay you, but a friend told me about a great restaurant. How about I treat you to dinner someday if you’re free one evening?"

"Hmm..."

Zhao Yingjun pondered for a moment, then gave a sly smile,

"Let’s skip dinner. If you really want to thank me, how about we do it another way?"

"Another way?"

Lin Xian was taken aback,

"What... would you like me to do?"

Zhao Yingjun leaned forward, playing with the Ferrari key on the desk,

"After riding with you on two of your crazy drives, I got interested in this kind of adrenaline-fueled sport."

"How about... you teach me to drive? I think the drifting, the high-speed passing, is pretty interesting."

Lin Xian blinked, never expecting Zhao Yingjun to make such a request.

"Are you sure? Street racing is very dangerous."

"Of course, not on public roads," Zhao Yingjun spread her hands,

"It’s safe on the racetrack. You really showed off last time, and I got curious and did some research, I really want to try it firsthand."

Lin Xian nodded.

After all, he was here to thank Zhao Yingjun for the car, and her request wasn’t unreasonable. For him, it was merely a small effort. So he agreed immediately,

"No problem. Tomorrow is Saturday. How about we go to Tianma Racetrack? They have tracks open for practice all the time, and there are plenty of tracks that are easy to book."

"No problem,"

Zhao Yingjun nodded and smiled,

"See you tomorrow."

...

Roar!!!!!!!!

Under low gear and high RPM, the roaring Ferrari LaFerrari spat incomplete combustion black smoke as it raced down Tianma Racetrack’s track number 2.

Today, Zhao Yingjun had booked the entire track for practice.

It was the off-season for major racing competitions, so many tracks were available, and a lot of modified car and racing car enthusiasts would come to test their vehicles. However, booking an entire track for one car was uncommon, but it just goes to show... Zhao Yingjun didn’t hold back when spending.

"Right, maintain this RPM, keep an eye on the tachometer,"

Lin Xian, sitting in the passenger seat, instructed Zhao Yingjun gripping the steering wheel,

"Speed is not important when you’re racing. You can feel the speed with your eyes and body; engine RPM is what you need to monitor constantly. For a racing newbie, the feeling of RPM isn’t that intuitive, so you have to keep an eye on the tachometer."
