Demonic King of the Metropolis - Chapter 31 - Wrong-Way Driving on the Highway! Part 1
Outside the bar, a bright red Maserati was parked by the roadside, catching the eyes of many passersby.
A graceful figure emerged from Passion Bar, heading straight towards the red Maserati.
“Get in!” Chen Shuran, sitting in the driver’s seat, said to Tang Jie, who was following closely behind.
Tang Jie was not unfamiliar with this red Maserati; he had first seen it on television.
Seeing the car, Tang Jie could already guess most of Chen Shuran’s intentions.
He walked around to the passenger seat, opened the car door, and got in. The car started softly, and with a deep engine roar, the Maserati sped smoothly away.
The car gradually left the bustling city. Although Tang Jie wasn’t too familiar with the roads of G Province, the signs showed him that Chen Shuran was heading towards the national highway.
“Where are you going?” Even though Tang Jie had a hunch about Chen Shuran’s plan, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Racing!” Chen Shuran replied without turning her head, quickly steering onto a highway interchange and accelerating.
“Oh,” Tang Jie nodded and didn’t say much more.
The two fell silent once more. After a while, Chen Shuran spoke slowly, “You seemed to know what I was planning to do all along?”
“No,” Tang Jie immediately denied it with a shake of his head.
Hearing this, Chen Shuran didn’t continue the conversation, and the car returned to a silent atmosphere.
Chen Shuran drove quickly, and within twenty minutes, they had left G City, entering a highway.
About ten minutes later, Chen Shuran gradually slowed down. From the road ahead, Tang Jie could clearly see three luxury sports cars parked on a deserted highway, with six men and women standing outside chatting and laughing.
“Screech…”
Chen Shuran brought the car to a steady stop. When the six people saw a Maserati arriving, they gathered around.
“Chen Shuran, why are you so late? I thought you wouldn’t show up tonight!” Among the six people, a tall man with a nose ring walked up to the car, staring at Chen Shuran with a smile.
The man’s gaze then shifted to Tang Jie. “Is this your partner for tonight? Doesn’t seem like much to me!”
“Shut up, Wei Dong. It’s not your business who I bring!” Chen Shuran snapped, glaring at him. “Tonight, I’m definitely going to beat you. Get ready to grab a megaphone and sing ‘Conquer’1 on Guanqian Street!”
“Haha, I’m waiting for it!” Wei Dong laughed heartily. “Chen Shuran, the stakes are high this time. Don’t forget, if you lose, you have to be my girlfriend!”
“Hmph, I won’t lose to you!” Chen Shuran huffed and turned away to avoid looking at him anymore.
Watching the two banter, Tang Jie was bewildered-bets? Racing? What was going on?
Noticing Tang Jie’s confusion, Wei Dong whistled and said to him, “Hey, buddy, you seem like you don’t quite get what’s happening here, do you?”
“Yeah,” Tang Jie nodded, turning his gaze to Wei Dong.
“Didn’t Chen Shuran tell you? No worries, if she didn’t, I will. We’re gathered here for a high-speed racing contest. The winner gets to be Chen Shuran’s boyfriend, while the loser, as she just mentioned, has to take a megaphone to Guanqian Street and sing ‘Conquer.’ And that’s not all-the winner’s partner also gets a prize of one hundred thousand yuan!”
After saying this, Wei Dong eyed Tang Jie. As someone from a rich family, he immediately noticed that Tang Jie wasn’t wearing any brand-name clothes, casting a disdainful glance at him.
“Oh, I see. So being a companion also earns money. What a great deal! A hundred thousand yuan, that’s a lot of money.” Tang Jie naturally picked up on Wei Dong’s disdain and feigned surprise.
For Wei Dong, a rich second generation, a hundred thousand yuan was nothing. Seeing Tang Jie react with such surprise at the prize money, the disdain in Wei Dong’s eyes intensified.
“Tang Jie, don’t embarrass me. Is a hundred thousand yuan really that much?” Chen Shuran noticed Tang Jie’s expression, as well as Wei Dong’s mocking glance at her, and she vented her frustration on Tang Jie.
“Uh… sorry, Miss Chen, I didn’t mean to cause trouble,” Tang Jie coughed, looking embarrassed.
“Hmph, if you keep quiet, no one will mistake you for a mute,” Chen Shuran huffed softly, then raised her head and said, “Enough with the chatter, Wei Dong. Can we start now?”
“Of course!” Wei Dong smiled slightly, nodding. He then turned to the other five people and said, “Everyone, are you ready? The exciting game is about to start!”
“Ready!” the five people replied in unison.
At this moment, a woman with a mature and seductive appearance stepped forward, wrapping her arm around Wei Dong’s. She flirtatiously pressed her ample chest against his arm and said, “Wei-Ge, this is my first time, so you have to protect me!”
“Of course, of course! I’ll definitely protect you,” Wei Dong laughed, pressing his arm more firmly against the woman’s chest with a lewd expression.
“Hmph, men are all no good,” Chen Shuran grumbled, seeing the two unabashedly play out this suggestive scene in front of her.
“I’m also a man, can you consider my feelings? How can all men be no good-I’m good!” Tang Jie yelled inwardly but kept a straight face since Chen Shuran was clearly upset and he dared not provoke her.
“Wei-Ge, we’re all set. Should we get started?” A man in a black vest with hair down to his shoulders approached Wei Dong with a fawning expression.
“Alright! Turn your cars around!” Wei Dong said as he walked to his silver Porsche, took the seductive woman with him, got into the car, started it, and with a beautiful drift, turned the car around.
