Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Regaining Lost Confidence

"Let go of me…"

Luo Bing shouted furiously at the person wearing a hood sitting beside her in the Porsche Cayenne, escorted in the middle by two modified Land Rovers.

But these people ignored her completely, making Luo Bing's anger grow even stronger.

"Do you think I don't know who you are?"

Luo Bing gritted her teeth and said to the hooded driver, "Wang Jie, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

After Luo Bing finished speaking, the hand of the person driving the Porsche Cayenne gave a sudden jolt.

Staring at the driver of the Porsche Cayenne, Luo Bing confirmed her suspicion when she saw the other person's hand tremble slightly.

"So it really is them!"

Earlier, when Xu Lei handed her a small note, Luo Bing knew there was a car race happening in H City soon. But hearing that Wang Jie and others actually planned to kidnap her, she was surprised yet skeptical.

Unexpectedly, after school, she saw several cars chasing her. However, Luo Bing was not afraid and engaged in combat with them, but ultimately lost due to the terrain.

Luo Bing was surprised by their driving skills as well, which were at least D-level, and the person driving the Porsche Cayenne, Wang Jie, must be at least a C-level driver.

Moreover, looking at these few cars, she had never seen them before. Though puzzled in her heart, she was blocked by them and then caught in the car.

Having seen the little note before, Luo Bing guessed it was Wang Jie who caught her, even though she couldn't see their faces due to the hoods.

Her test was unexpected, a small detail gave it away.

"Wang Jie, I know it's you."

Luo Bing stared at the driver ahead and said, "If your Jiying Racing Team really wants to win the H City race, compete like a driver with honor instead of pulling such tricks, okay?"

"Do you think kidnapping me and winning the race is glorious? No, it's a disgrace to a professional racing driver."

Luo Bing said.

"Shut her up!"

Driving the Porsche Cayenne, Wang Jie seemed unable to bear it anymore. After a shout at the two thugs beside him, they pressed Luo Bing down and stuffed a sponge into her mouth.

Luo Bing struggled to no avail, with a sponge stuffed in her mouth, she glared in anger at Wang Jie ahead and uttered muffled sounds.

"Hmph, make another sound and believe it or not, I'll ** you?"

Upon hearing Wang Jie's threat, a flame of anger shot from Luo Bing's eyes, but she soon quieted down.

As time slowly passed, when Luo Bing saw the car heading out of the city, she became anxious and looked around, seeing Wang Jie driving and the two thugs beside him watching out the window. Turning her eyes, she quietly took out her phone from her pocket and turned on the GPS.

She then quietly opened WeChat and sent her location information to her teacher, Xu Lei.

"What are you doing?"

However, just as Luo Bing sent the message, a thug suddenly shouted.

Soon after, Luo Bing was discovered, her phone was taken by the thug, and the location information was relayed to Wang Jie in front.

Furious, Wang Jie smacked the steering wheel and shouted, "Damn it, Luo Bing, you're being ungrateful. If that's the case, don't blame me for dealing with you in a deserted place later. I've been fond of you for a long time anyway…"

Hearing Wang Jie's words, panic showed in Luo Bing's eyes as she shook her head desperately.

"Hmph, just wait." Wang Jie, through the rearview mirror, looked at Luo Bing's pretty face and her curvaceous figure, revealing deep wickedness in his eyes.

"Not good, deputy leader, there's a BMW 3X behind chasing us!"

Just then, Wang Jie's thug suddenly shouted.

Luo Bing's eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing this. She turned her head to look behind and saw a BMW 3X displaying incredibly skillful driving, overtaking countless cars and speeding towards them.

"Mmm… mmm…"

Luo Bing recognized it was Xu Lei, the teacher's car. Seeing this scene, excitement erupted in her eyes, and she shook her head desperately.

"Keep her quiet."

Wang Jie shouted angrily.

Soon after, the two thugs pressed Luo Bing down on the seat. Wang Jie glared at Luo Bing fiercely and then looked at the BMW 3X speeding towards them, furrowing his brows: "Who is this person? Driving skills so good, haven't heard of this person in H City?"

Seeing the two thugs shake their heads, Wang Jie frowned, then took out the intercom and said to the few modified Land Rovers beside him, "Go block that BMW 3X behind us. If necessary, take him out."

"Yes."

"Received, deputy leader."

After hearing answers on the intercom, Wang Jie saw the two Land Rovers, originally escorting his Porsche Cayenne, screech to a halt. The two Land Rovers then merged instantly and reversed towards the BMW 3X.

"Hehe, Xiao Jie and Xiao Long are both D-level drivers, among the top in H City, and driving those modified big guys. If that BMW 3X gets the hint, he should obediently back off; if not, then he'll have to die."

Wang Jie smirked as he watched the BMW 3X caught between the two modified Land Rovers through the rearview mirror.

Then, looking at Luo Bing being held down by the thugs, he chuckled, "Disappointed, my lovely campus beauty Luo? It seems that person can't save you."

Hearing Wang Jie's words, Luo Bing's eyes darkened, feeling worried inside: "Mr. Xu, I'm truly grateful you came to save me, you mustn't come to any harm..."

As the BMW 3X was sandwiched by two modified Land Rovers, the engine of the Porsche Cayenne roared and then disappeared in an instant, like a wild horse unbridled.

...

Bang.

Inside the BMW 3X, Ye Qiu looked at the two Land Rovers continuously ramming into him, angrily slamming the steering wheel.

"Ye Qiu, the Porsche has already taken off..." Xu Lei anxiously said to Ye Qiu as she watched the Porsche Cayenne disappear from sight.

Ye Qiu nodded, then while controlling the BMW 3X, he looked at the two Land Rovers blocking his path on both sides, frowning deeply.

"So annoying..."

Ye Qiu muttered, then suddenly his eyes lit up as he saw a roundabout up ahead: "Got it."

With that, Ye Qiu suddenly stepped on the gas, and the BMW 3X shot out from between the two Land Rovers.

It seemed the two Land Rovers had anticipated Ye Qiu's escape, as they immediately gave chase the moment he broke free.

The drivers of the two Land Rovers were clearly not lacking in skills, and the Land Rovers were modified, so they quickly caught up to Ye Qiu's BMW 3X once again. The two vehicles then boxed Ye Qiu in from the front and back, rolling down their windows and giving him a dismissive little finger gesture.

"These guys, they're too arrogant!"

Xu Lei's chest heaved with anger seeing them disrespect Ye Qiu like that.

"Let them be arrogant for a while, soon they'll be crying."

A cold smile appeared on Ye Qiu's lips.

"Do you have a plan? To shake them off?" Xu Lei asked.

Ye Qiu nodded without speaking, instead, he began feathering the gas pedal, making the BMW 3X speed up and slow down intermittently under his control.

"What's he doing?"

In one of the Land Rovers, Xiao Jie asked Xiao Long in the other Land Rover via walkie-talkie.

"No idea, but who cares? Our task is to hold him down, and if this kid doesn't cooperate, we'll make sure he crashes and burns!"

Xiao Long leaned lazily on the driver's seat, replying over the walkie-talkie with disdain. His eyes were full of cold laughter as he watched the BMW 3X ahead.

Both he and Xiao Jie were main drivers of a Level 4 team in H City, both at D-level in terms of skills.

Although D-level drivers aren't that strong worldwide, or even in Huaxia's racing circles, they're quite formidable in H City, where the top driver is only SS-level.

Moreover, their Land Rovers were modified, not only more powerful than standard Land Rovers but also with armor as tough as a tank.

So when they received Wang Jie's order to blockade this clearly standard BMW 3X, neither of them felt any pressure.

Although this BMW 3X had previously shown impressive driving skills, proving the driver's ability, it was still nothing to them.

So they had already sentenced the BMW 3X to destruction, and if it stubbornly tried to escape their blockade again, they would use methods they've applied many times before to ensure their rival driver crashes and burns.

"These two guys are really skilled, at least D-level."

Inside the BMW 3X, Xu Lei noted as she watched the two Land Rovers relentlessly shadowing Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu glanced at Xu Lei, curious about how she knew, but didn't ask and just nodded, musing inwardly: "The system shows that I'm a D-level driver now, so wouldn't that make me on par with these two outside?"

"Wrong!" Ye Qiu had just finished when Fle's voice sounded in his mind.

"Hmm?" Ye Qiu was puzzled.

Fle explained: "The system already explained, your skill level is determined by the system, and can't be compared with external evaluations."

"Then what should my level be, using external standards?"

Ye Qiu asked.

Fle replied: "Well... it should be beyond SSS-level by now, at least stronger than before you returned to Huaxia, but..."

Ye Qiu was initially shocked, but hearing Fle pause, he asked in confusion: "But what?"

"But your confidence in racing has significantly dropped, your Spiritual Finger is very low, which severely affects your driving skills. So according to my assessment, with your current ability, based on external standards, you'd be around: A-level driver."

"I see!"

Ye Qiu understood the importance of confidence to a driver. A confident driver is often unbeatable on the track.

While a driver lacking confidence, no matter how skilled, always has weaknesses.

So Ye Qiu didn't doubt Fle's words.

"Then today, let me regain the confidence I once lost through them."

Looking at the two Land Rovers ahead, Ye Qiu's eyes shone brightly.

And that brightness was the glow of confidence.
