Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Li Qiao Surpasses Everyone

Wei Ang looked at Li Qiao with an expression that could only be described as complicated, the corners of his lips twitched, desperately suppressing the urge to argue with her.

It was clearly a Ferrari Enzo, yet she insisted on talking nonsense.

"Anything else?" At this moment, Shang Yu turned his head to look at Li Qiao with a composed demeanor, speaking again with an inexhaustible patience.

Li Qiao looked at Wei Ang, her serious tone laced with mockery, "Furthermore, how about we make a bet? It’s very likely that you won’t be able to trace the origin of that car."

"Impossible!!" Finally, unable to hold back any longer, Wei Ang let out a low exclamation in frustration.

Even with the Eldest Young Master’s sharp and piercing gaze upon him, he felt he needed to set things straight with Li Qiao.

Li Qiao was not surprised by Wei Ang’s reaction at all, and the corners of her lips curled up. She raised her eyebrows with a hint of madness, "How about that bet then?"

Bet my ass.

Wei Ang actually wanted to bet, but at that moment, Shang Yu sent him a chilling look, filled with intense coldness and sternness, instantly making his scalp tingle, his lips tightly shut, daring not to utter another word.

Ah, impulse got the better of him.

Seeing the timidity in his eyes, Li Qiao couldn’t be bothered to argue any further, she turned her head to look at the man beside her, speaking softly, "The shell of the car is indeed an Enzo, but all the other parts are assembled.

The tyres, the hub, the subframe, none of them are Enzo specifications. The only possible way to trace the vehicle’s origin is through the engine code.

However, if someone could fit an autonomous driving system inside a Ferrari shell, it’s highly likely they would also destroy the code, including the vehicle identification number (VIN)."

This analysis left Wei Ang utterly confused, even the driver couldn’t help but shake with a suppressed laugh.

Clearly, in their ears, Li Qiao’s words sounded like a joke.

Just then, Wei Ang’s cellphone rang in his pocket.

It took him a few seconds to stiffly pull out his phone, he didn’t even look at it before sliding to answer, his voice tense and unfriendly, "What is it? Speak!"

The caller was the bodyguard left at the crossroads dealing with the accident.

After the bodyguard briefly reported the situation at the scene, Wei Ang was stunned, dumbfounded.

Still maintaining his turned posture and holding his phone, he looked toward Li Qiao, unsure of how to react.

After hanging up the phone, his face still looked dazed.

It wasn’t until the car slowed down over the speed bump, the slight jolt finally jarred his senses back in place.

"Miss Li, how did you, how did you know?" Could you be the mastermind?

Wei Ang almost let his suspicions slip out.

It was too horrifying.

She had guessed everything right.

At that moment, Li Qiao saw Wei Ang’s reaction and knew her guess was very close to the truth.

She looked out the window nonchalantly, only several seconds later did she respond, "Because I’ve modified cars before."

"Not that..." Wei Ang shifted in his seat, turning fully to face the back seat as he continued to press on, urgency mixed with curiosity on his face, "But how did you know the other party would destroy all the codes?"

Indeed, the bodyguard had called earlier to report that they had checked the car and found all the codes and the VIN that could be used to trace the vehicle’s information had been destroyed.

Li Qiao was nonchalant, "Just a guess."

Wei Ang still full of doubts, leaned eagerly toward the back seat, his face etched with a desire to know, "But why would they do that? Assembled car, autonomous driving system, but specifically using Ferrari engines, this..."

Faced with his question, Li Qiao tugged at her lip, dragging her gaze back from the window and looked at Wei Ang expressionlessly, "Isn’t the reason simply to prevent you from finding out?

Keeping the Enzo’s shell was merely to mislead you.

As for the car’s other parts, they are indeed original Ferrari components, but they are not from the Enzo."

Think about it, how many components are there in an entire car, and without a code for each one, how would you go about investigating?"

When Li Qiao said these words, Shang Yu was staring at her unblinkingly, his profound eyes filled with indulgence and astonishment.

The young girl calmly provided an answer that outsiders couldn’t comprehend.

At the same time, she revealed even more of her abilities.

Li Qiao’s understanding of cars surpassed everyone present.

At that moment, Wei Ang, having listened to her explanation, slapped his forehead as if awakening from a dream.

He opened his mouth, and after quite some time, he murmured, "To think that so much effort was put into modifying a car, just for that one collision..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiao let out a sigh and, looking down at her fingertips, murmured bleakly, "Maximum horsepower of 650, a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour—if we had collided with the backseat just now, we would have been either dead or severely injured."

This was probably why the Ferrari appeared at the crossroads.

A kit car, difficult to trace the origin, and the autonomous driving system had been altered.

If the bodyguards had not been well-trained, then the mastermind behind this could have taken their lives without losing a single soldier.

The conversation up to this point had also caused Wei Ang to break out in a cold sweat.

He turned around in a daze, seated himself in the co-driver’s seat, though his expression was still distracted, clearly not expecting such an outcome.

Even though Li Qiao’s analysis was thorough, Wei Ang still found it to be somewhat exaggerated.

But upon closer reflection, everything seemed to make perfect sense.

He was thrown into disarray.

Twenty minutes later, the car entered the estate at the foot of Paibo Mountain.

Wei Ang got out of the car like a lost soul to open the door for them, watched as they walked into the estate, and then drifted back to the co-driver’s seat.

The driver, equally puzzled, looked at him; after a long silence, Wei Ang picked up the telephone, "Sir, there was a bit of an accident just now, I have something very important to report to you in person."

Shang Zonghai gave an address, and Wei Ang promptly called the bodyguards, "Let’s go, to the medicine hall."

...

After Wei Ang’s car left, Li Qiao was nestled on the living room sofa, looking thoughtfully at Shang Yu across from her.

The man crossed his long legs, reached out to undo two buttons of his shirt, and glanced sideways at Li Qiao with a picking glance, "Ever modified an Enzo before?"

Li Qiao came back to her senses, uttered an ’Ah’, and shook her head, "No, I’ve only modified the LA series."

Liuyun and Luoyu, standing near the living room, were completely baffled.

Miss Li had modified cars before?

Since they were driving the Ou Lu car leading the way in front, they were unaware that Wei Ang had already been so stunned by Li Qiao that he was beginning to question his life.

At that moment, Li Qiao leaned to one side, languidly resting against the arm of the sofa, and looked piercingly at Shang Yu, "You don’t seem at all surprised by this car accident, Master Yan."

The man held a cigarette between his fingers, not lit, just gently rubbing it twice, his chiseled face wore an arrogant coolness as he said, "It’s commonplace, hardly worth mentioning."

Li Qiao: "..."

She had heard that Shang Yu had many archenemies, but in South Sea, aside from the time when Yun Ling took an order, there didn’t seem to be many major crises.

Now it seemed, it wasn’t that there hadn’t been any, just that the timing and places were wrong.

He had just returned to Parma yesterday, and today there were already people who couldn’t restrain themselves.

What would happen next? What else could occur?

Li Qiao touched her forehead, a thought also began to emerge in her mind.
