Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Qiao Xi Arrives Late

The countdown’s final ten seconds.

Nine seconds.

Eight seconds!

...

Three!

Two!

One! Zeroed out!

The referee waved the red flags with both hands!

Two heavy motorcycles roared off, like swords slicing through the air.

"Xu Yunye!"

A female voice shouted out, Xu Yunye heard the wind and a faint sound by his ears, seeing an increasingly smaller figure through the rearview mirror.

His heartbeat accelerated, adrenaline surging wildly!

She was here!

She was watching his race; his hands gripped and twisted the throttle to speed up.

Speed up!

Twist it to the max!

The heavy motorcycle’s speed was exceptionally high, over tenfold that of a regular motorcycle. On the straight racetrack, it was like a shadow whisking by, almost too rapid to capture a clear image.

...

Qiao Xi looked at the heavy motorcycle club, seemingly engulfed in frenzy. Her almond-shaped eyes reddened and moistened slightly, her beautiful delicate face turned increasingly cold.

She was still too late!

She didn’t make it.

Both her hands clenched into fists, with nails digging into her palms.

All the way here she had been searching for information on Devil’s Gorge, and what popped up were incidents of racers dying there. This was the segment of track where accidents were most likely to occur.

That sharp, rapid curve in the track made her feel terrified just by looking at the pictures!

She wasn’t sure about Xu Yunye’s capabilities, but she remembered the last time in Haicheng when Xu Yunye was hospitalized due to a racing accident, which probably meant he wasn’t all that great.

And she found Lu Yan’s track record!

It turns out Lu Yan had actually declined an invitation from the world-class racing Glory Club. The club even announced their regret over losing such a talented racer.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly, almost grinding them to bleeding.

Xu Yunye, please don’t let anything happen to you!

The Imperial Capital’s rich second generation’s betting pool hadn’t closed yet.

The bookie holding a megaphone shouted: "Any more bets to place? The racers are returning soon and we’re about to close the pool! If you want to make money, be quick, bet on Xu Yunye dying for a small profit! Bet on Xu Yunye making it back alive and the odds are one to eight...hahaha!"

This laughter carried mockery, seemingly also ridiculing Xu Yunye for overestimating himself.

Convinced that he won’t make it back alive!

Because if Lu Yan said it’s a life gamble, he would definitely resort to means.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Old Chen led several fierce bodyguards clearing the way for her, and people unconsciously made room.

Slap!

Qiao Xi placed a black-gold bank card on the betting table, her voice firm and slightly cold.

"Settle the account for me!"

She was engaging in such an irrational and extravagant gamble for the first time.

The bookie was stunned by her words for several seconds: "Are you sure? To settle the account now requires a billion to even out the chips on both sides."

"Then a billion it is, bet on Xu Yunye making it back alive!"

The bookie looked at her as if she was a naive big spender and said, "A billion, you might want to think again. Once a bet is placed here, there’s no going back."

The onlooking rich second generations who were holding their female companions all laughed out loud.

A stylish woman covered her lips and giggled: "Who is she? So arrogant, could she be Xu Yunye’s little lover?"

The rich second generation replied: "What little lover! This lady is none other than Young Madam Huo, National Doctor Cheng Han’s apprentice Qiao Xi! Heiress of the Liu Family, Xu Yunye’s sister!"

"So she’s Qiao Xi, doesn’t look all that remarkable."

"So young, can she really compete with Miss Lu at the needle trial event? I heard all her fame is just hyped up by the people of Haicheng."

"Big sister Lu is the hope of the younger generation in Imperial Capital, who can compare with her?"

Lu Yingxue’s reputation in Imperial Capital was famously good, even these wealthy playboys highly admired her. It just goes to show how well Lu Yingxue understands social interaction!

Qiao Xi stood aside indifferently, her eyes, identical to those of Xu Yunye, scanned around.

The fierce-looking bodyguards in black next to her assumed a preparatory attack stance, as if at her command, they could dominate the whole place!

The second-generation rich kids quickly turned their heads away, not daring to gossip about her any longer, and shifted their attention to the betting situation on the Devil’s Gorge competition.

The bookmaker smiled obsequiously at Qiao Xi, scared that she would command the smashing of his betting table!

"Are you sure you want to bet a billion?"

Old Chen, with a grim face, said fiercely, "Our Young Madam says to bet, we bet. Can’t the Huo Family even afford a billion?"

The bookmaker nodded repeatedly, handing over a ticket: "Alright, I’ll register your bet now. This is the voucher, please keep it safe. If the bet wins, you can use it to exchange for chips here."

Old Chen grabbed it, his presence terrifying.

Usually, he seemed honest and simple, but once he put on an act, he could scare children to tears.

The bookmaker’s voice even reduced a lot: "Any more bets? We’re about to close. Miss this opportunity and it’s gone."

"Me! Me!"

"And me, I want to bet! Wait for me!"

Qiao Xi heard a familiar voice and turned to look.

She saw Sun Weimeng with a swollen and bruised face, riding a dilapidated electric scooter and wearing a dusty helmet with difficulty making his way to them. He took out a bank card and threw it onto the table.

"I bet Xu Yunye will come back alive, ten million!"

He took off his dusty helmet, straightened his messy hair, and greeted Qiao Xi, "How could I not be called for such an opportunity?"

Qiao Xi frowned: "Young Master Sun, didn’t you go to the hospital?"

"Just some flesh wounds, it won’t kill me. Besides, Lu Yan and the others wouldn’t dare to beat me to death; although the Sun Family can’t compare to those noble families, after all, I am the only son of a real estate magnate."

He sniffed and said, "Rather than going to the hospital for a check-up, I prefer to get some revenge."

He had gone through so much trouble just to borrow a scooter to come here, and even got fined fifty yuan by the traffic police for drunk driving.

Xu Yunye’s bodyguards were simply despicable! But they were still stuck in the downtown area!

"If you can’t hold on, just tell us."

"Mhm." Sun Weimeng unceremoniously stated, "Old Chen, bring a stool for the Young Master. I want to watch this competition from the best spot."

Old Chen saw that he was wronged tonight and didn’t argue with him, even giving him full face: "Alright, Young Master Sun. Do you want a fruit platter?"

"I didn’t have dinner, bring me a seafood set as well."

Sun Weimeng was acting arrogantly and assertively.

"Okay, we’ll arrange it right away."

Old Chen instructed two bodyguards to handle it while the others moved towards the big screen broadcasting the competition, using their strong and tall stature to push aside the rich second-generation kids.

The big screen was right in front, with two chairs and a long table set up.

In no time, the long table was covered with a seafood feast and snacks, the aroma spreading, tempting many of the rich second-generation kids who were hungry watching the competition.

"Young Madam, Young Master Sun, please sit!"

Old Chen called out.

Qiao Xi and Sun Weimeng didn’t stand on ceremony either, they acted arrogantly tonight!

If Lu Yan could do it, why couldn’t she!

She brought so many bodyguards to make things convenient; Qiao Xi waved for Old Chen to come closer and whispered some instructions to him.

Old Chen nodded, then conveyed the orders to the bodyguards.

What they went to do was unknown.

Forced to stand at the back and endure the temptation of delicious food, the rich second-generation kids spoke in hushed tones.

"It would be good if they can still eat while watching Xu Yunye battered and bloody."

"They think too highly of themselves."

"Look at the big screen, Young Master Lu is already leading by a full three car lengths."

Suddenly, the crowd gasped!

Everyone’s blood was boiling!

"It’s going to happen!"
