Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Come On, It’s Showtime

After leaving the bank, Ye Ling drove home. The journey was smooth, with most cars keeping a wide berth.

After all, even a slight bump with a luxury car of this caliber could cost several months’ salary.

’Luo Yue, that little brat, has probably calmed down by now.’

Ye Ling muttered to himself in the car.

Our Lord Ye was always going on about his status in the family, but the problem was, Luo Yue had nothing to do with him. She wasn’t family at all, so what was the point of bringing up family status?

’Forget it. If worst comes to worst, I’ll just let her borrow the Pagani for a day.’

Ye Ling figured that since they were bound to run into each other, it was best not to let things get awkward. He decided to be the bigger man and not squabble with the little brat.

Right, it’s not like he was actually afraid of that little brat!

Ye Ling had originally planned to drive straight back to Tomson Riviera, but an Audi S8 in his rearview mirror caught his attention.

The car seemed to have shown up a few times now. At first, he’d just assumed they were heading in the same direction. But he had made several turns, and it was still behind him. That was a little suspicious.

Ye Ling frowned slightly and casually set his GPS for a location near an abandoned chemical plant.

’Time to see who these people are.’

Sure enough, when Ye Ling changed his route again, the other car followed suit. It even maintained the exact same distance between them.

’People from the Yu Group?’

Ye Ling guessed to himself.

People who tailed him like this were, nine times out of ten, up to no good. And besides the Yu Group, were there any other factions he was currently at odds with?

By now, Ye Ling’s Pagani had left the bustling city streets. They were approaching the suburbs, so there was less traffic.

’Showtime!’

Ye Ling slammed his foot on the accelerator. Instantly, the Pagani’s engine let out a beast-like roar.

VROOOM~ZOOM~ZOOM~

In a split second, the supercar, which had been cruising leisurely down the street, shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

The driver of the Audi S8 behind didn’t even have time to react before Ye Ling had pulled nearly sixty or seventy meters ahead!

Seeing Ye Ling suddenly accelerate, the driver of the Audi S8 was stunned for a few seconds but quickly came to his senses. He floored the accelerator as well and gave chase.

As a high-performance supercar, the Pagani Zonda R could go from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in 2.7 seconds. While not the absolute fastest, it was by no means slow.

Compared to Ye Ling’s Pagani, the Audi S8’s performance was significantly worse. Its zero-to-one-hundred acceleration took about 3.6 seconds. Factoring in the late start, Ye Ling had pulled almost two hundred meters ahead in a matter of moments!

"Did that kid spot us?"

In the trailing Audi S8, a burly man in a suit couldn’t help but frown.

Clearly, he hadn’t expected Ye Ling to speed up like that. He hadn’t been particularly stealthy, but then again, Ye Ling was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid. How sharp could his senses be?

"Hmph! Kid, since you drove out to the suburbs, don’t blame me for what happens next."

A smile touched the corners of the burly man’s lips.

In his eyes, the fact that Ye Ling had spotted him but still drove toward a deserted area meant he had a death wish.

He figured Ye Ling planned to get to the suburbs and then use his car’s superior performance to lose him!

"Hey, Potato, Potato, this is Sweet Potato. The target is heading for the suburbs. I’ve sent you the coordinates." The burly man in the suit pulled out a walkie-talkie, spoke into it, and then tossed it aside.

"It’s a shame. You’re too confident. The young and reckless always have to learn their lessons the hard way."

The burly man in the suit gazed at the Pagani ahead, a hint of feverish excitement in his eyes. This was his first time chasing a real sports car!

"ROAR!"

The burly man slammed his foot down on the accelerator, and the car’s speed surged once more!

The Audi S8 lived up to its reputation as "the thug in a suit." At full throttle, its presence was in no way inferior to the Pagani’s.

By now, both cars were pushing 130 km/h, a speed that far exceeded the legal limit for the road.

But being in the suburbs, there was no one around to enforce it.

’This guy... looks like he’s playing for keeps...’

Seeing this, a smirk played on Ye Ling’s lips.

’A contest of speed?’

’Then let me show you what a real supercar can do!’

VROOOM!

The Pagani’s body shot forward, becoming a black bolt of lightning on the road. The insane roar of the engine made Ye Ling feel a tremor in his very blood!

At that moment, he felt an ultimate thrill surge through him—a hot-blooded, exhilarating sensation!

The Audi S8 had decent performance, but it was nothing compared to a true supercar like the Zonda R that Ye Ling was driving.

Ye Ling kept accelerating, at one point even hitting 180 km/h, and managed to pull a gap of nearly five hundred meters on the Audi S8.

But just as Ye Ling had completely lost the Audi S8, three more appeared ahead, driving side-by-side toward him at high speed!

’Dammit, do they have a death wish?’

A faint glint of coldness appeared in Ye Ling’s eyes.

He didn’t need to think twice about the appearance of these three cars; their target was obviously him. After all, who else would be driving three cars abreast in the middle of nowhere? They weren’t even trying to be subtle!

An ordinary person in this situation would probably be so scared their legs would turn to jelly.

Fortunately, however, Ye Ling had previously acquired a king-of-mercenaries level Fighting Technique and a tenfold physique enhancement. Even in the face of such a crisis, he remained perfectly calm.

Without hesitation, Ye Ling reduced his speed and swerved onto a smaller side road.

The road had many turns, but with Ye Ling’s reaction speed, they posed no obstacle to him whatsoever.

The three cars behind, on the other hand, didn’t have it so easy. The road was narrow and winding, and they didn’t dare to drive fast at all.

"Dammit, does this kid have a fucking death wish? How can he drive so fast on a road like this?"

The burly man’s eyes were filled with rage.

He couldn’t understand how a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid could possess such driving skills.

"But no matter what, you’ve offended the Yu Group. It doesn’t matter how skilled you are, this is as far as you go!"

The burly man said in a cold voice.

If Ye Ling could have seen him, he would have discovered that this man was none other than Li Yuan!

Meanwhile, Ye Ling’s car came to a stop in front of an abandoned chemical plant.

’This should be far enough. I’ll deal with these small fry here.’

A smile touched Ye Ling’s lips as he slowly stepped out of the car.

Just then, the three Audi S8s hurriedly arrived!
