The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 454 - 454 439 Start

454: Chapter 439: Start 454: Chapter 439: Start The race was about to begin.

This time, there were five racers in total.

However, four of them were from Hong Kong and the other one was a provocative foreign professional racer.

Obviously, among the Hong Kong racers, two were also professional racers.

A flagman holding a red and green flag walked between the cars and raised the red flag, seemingly asking for confirmation from the timekeepers and judges.

Soon, he received approval from both sides.

The flagman then crisscrossed the flags, signaling the racers to get ready.

Quickly, the crowd stepped lightly on the accelerator.

Despite this, the spectators could still clearly see the thick blue flames behind the four sports cars.

The flames sparked the audience’s enthusiasm.

People shouted excitedly.

“Go!” The green flag dropped.

The four sports cars, like arrows released from their bows, burst forth instantly.

Leading was a yellow sports car driven by the foreign professional racer.

After all, he had reached this level only after hundreds of races and tens of thousands of practice runs, which honed his starting speed and reaction time.

Vroom, vroom, vroom…

The spectators by the road immediately erupted, cheering loudly and shouting wildly.

Following the yellow sports car was a red one, reportedly driven by a woman, also a Hong Kong racer, followed by another Hong Kong racer.

Finally, came Ye Chen.

“Ahao, is this guy you invited reliable?” A handsome young man teased Li Hao, “How come his start is so much slower than the others?”

“Hehe, perhaps this is just a strategy!” Li Hao replied with a light smile.

“Really?

I don’t think so!” The handsome young man chuckled and said, “But whether it is or isn’t, we only need to look at the results.

If he succeeds, it’s a strategy.

If he fails, he’s just a loser!”

“Haha, Qingge is right!” Li Hao laughed heartily.

The roar of the engines filled the entire Taiping Mountain, startling the sleeping animals, which pricked up their ears and dashed wildly.

Some birds also scurried out from the trees.

“Ye Chen, go for it!” Gongsun Yue overcame the fear brought by the speed, and now equated speed with excitement.

Seeing Ye Chen trailing at the last, she grew anxious.

After all, Li Hao had invited him to secure a win; how could he fall behind?

“Shut up!” Ye Chen glared at Gongsun Yue, his legs and hands constantly busy.

He was about to enter the first curve and needed to shake off the two problematic guys ahead.

A slow start was troublesome; he had to continuously clear the people blocking him.

Gritting his teeth, as others slowed down, Ye Chen shot out like an arrow released from a bow, with the engine’s RPM soaring to 8000 and the speed approaching 230 kilometers per hour—and still climbing.

Gongsun Yue screamed, “Ye Chen, there’s a curve ahead!

You are crazy, slow down!”

Instead of slowing down, Ye Chen shifted into the highest gear and then escalated his speed another notch.

Gongsun Yue was dumbfounded and muttered to herself, “It’s over, it’s over, I don’t want to die yet.

God, oh Mighty Buddha, Saint Heir, Holy Father, Holy Mother, Allah, save me!”

Ye Chen fiercely pressed the clutch and lightly touched the brake, his hands firmly steering the trembling wheel.

Boom…

A loud bang, and the car seemed to lose control, making Gongsun Yue lose it as she felt the car seemed to leave the ground and become uncontrollable.

She cried, “It’s over, I’m going to die, the car is going to flip into the cliff.

I don’t want to die yet!”

While Gongsun Yue sobbed uncontrollably, Ye Chen looked tense as the car brushed past the two cars ahead.

He vividly saw the shock in their eyes.

Probably only Ye Chen would treat a race car like an airplane.

Boom…

Another loud bang, and the car shook violently.

The tires screeched against the pavement, leaving a black trail from the brakes.

Then it shot forward, tightly following the car ahead.

The driver ahead saw the last car catching up and was instantly panic-stricken.

He gritted his teeth and glared at the rearview mirror, angrily saying, “Damn it, that tailgater actually caught up; it’s infuriating!”

As he spoke, the yellow sports car increased its horsepower again.

The car shot down the slope, where a slight mistake could easily lead to a rollover or veering off into a nearby cliff.

However, the sports car in front was still driving fairly respectably, merely trying to block Ye Chen’s passing lane.

Ye Chen could only watch helplessly as the other driver swaggered in front of him.

“Hmph, thinking you can block me like that?” Ye Chen sneered coldly.

Gongsun Yue, sitting beside him, had also stopped crying.

A tear hung on her cute nose, seemingly forgetting they were in a race.

She stared at Ye Chen, shocked.

“How the hell did he pull that move?

He used extreme speed to take the corner?!

That’s terrifying—it felt like the car was out of control.” Gongsun Yue felt just like Li Ruo had felt initially.

Ye Chen used the same stunt, but in different contexts.

This move was indeed very effective—extreme cornering.

For ordinary people, it would be incredibly difficult, but for Ye Chen, though challenging, it had consistently proven to be effective.

The yellow sports car ahead was clearly blocking Ye Chen deliberately.

While sprinting madly to shake off Ye Chen, it also tried to block his path.

Ye Chen was tightly constrained by the opposing driver and couldn’t break through.

Forcing a way through would likely lead to utter destruction.

For safety, Ye Chen decided to wait for the next bend, with the two cars behind clinging to his tail,

Both drivers were local racers from Hong Kong, naturally hoping Ye Chen could chase down the yellow sports car in one strong push.

After relentlessly pursuing for over thirty seconds on the slope, Ye Chen had no choice but to wait for a bend to appear.

“Ye Chen, there’s a bend ahead in over a hundred meters; get ready!” Gongsun Yue was quite familiar with Taiping Mountain, sometimes driving here for a spin, so she knew the terrain well.

Ye Chen quickly asked, “Are you sure?”

“Absolutely sure!” Gongsun Yue immediately nodded.

“Alright!” Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, “Then let’s overtake!”

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and smashed the gas pedal, but he didn’t fully release the clutch; the engine was running at high speed, but the speed was still suppressed by the yellow sports car ahead.

Ye Chen could only tightly follow the opponent, waiting for an opportunity, while the engine still maintained its high speed.

Finally, the yellow sports car began to slow down, preparing to drift.

Ye Chen slowly released the clutch, and his speed instantly surged.

The racer inside the yellow sports car furrowed his brows, wondering what Ye Chen was planning.

Didn’t he know there was a bend ahead?

At a speed of over two hundred kilometers per hour, crashing was certain.

The racer prepared to drift, having no time to continue blocking Ye Chen’s path.

Ye Chen seized the opportunity and burst out.

The speed was so fast that the sports car brushed past the opponent, who, far from being nervous, hooked a smile.

With that kind of speed, surely he couldn’t make the bend—the only outcome would be death.

Flying off the cliff, even if not death, would mean severe injury, or at the very least, a loss in the race.

Just as the opponent’s smile hadn’t yet faded, the sports car ahead suddenly floated out, its whole body charging out with the wheels nearly airborne.

It directly breezed past the bend, then with a loud thump, landed on the ground; the moment the tires regained their traction, the fiercely revving engine kicked in.

Whoosh…

The black sports car instantly darted forward, leaving the foreign racer wide-eyed and dumbstruck.

Fortunately, he was used to drifting, otherwise, if some amateur racers were to see this, they’d probably fail to stop and plunge down the cliff with their cars.

Yet, Ye Chen surged forward in one go, not only clearing the bend smoothly but also using extreme speed to sprint.

Even in international championships or Formula racing, this move would be considered a masterstroke.

The racer inside the yellow sports car was completely overwhelmed by Ye Chen’s maneuver, utterly in awe.

The final result naturally goes without saying.

Ye Chen crossed the finish line fastest and won the championship.

The outcome of this race was beyond everyone’s expectations.

When the four cars returned to the starting point, Gongsun Yue was sweating coldly.

Ye Chen, that bastard, made racing feel like flying a plane—it was terrifying.

But it was thrilling, exactly to this lady’s taste; Gongsun Yue was tense yet felt incredibly exhilarated.

“Ye Chen, thank you!” Li Hao shook Ye Chen’s hand and said, “This race really opened their eyes!”

“Hehe, racing this time was to thank you for helping me out last time!” Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, “In the future, I really don’t want to drive anymore.

You know, racing is like hanging your head on your crotch, it could fall off at any moment!”
