Chapter 136: Street Racing
By early evening, Su Qingxue had just finished her work when she received an invitation call from Shen Yanyan. She answered and said, "Banker Shen, we are just about to set off. Have you already arrived?"
"Yes," Shen Yanyan replied politely on the other end. "I will text you the private room number shortly. Just bring Mr. Lin and come directly over."
After hanging up, Su Qingxue received a text message containing the name of the Jiangcheng Grand Hotel and the room number. She got up and headed to the office next door to find Lin Feng, who was currently sitting in meditation.
Hearing the knock, Lin Feng got off the sofa. Seeing Su Qingxue, he asked casually, "Did they call already?"
"Yes. Let's go home and change first; this outfit isn't quite suitable for a formal gathering," Su Qingxue said gently.
"No need. They aren't worth that much effort," Lin Feng replied bluntly before taking Su Qingxue by the hand and leaving the bank.
Su Qingxue felt a bit uneasy. Since they were being treated to dinner, she felt it was improper to be so casual; surely they should at least change into evening wear? Lin Feng, however, was dismissive; he had his reasons. Once in the car, he instructed her to drive straight to the Jiangcheng Grand Hotel.
Unexpectedly, while they were halfway there, a limited-edition Porsche zoomed past them! Lin Feng paid it no mind, but the Porsche grew increasingly provocative, intentionally swerving to block Su Qingxue’s path. Su Qingxue had to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision, her heart racing in fear.
A young man in the Porsche poked his head out the window, looking at Su Qingxue with a lecherous grin. He whistled and said, "Hey beauty, want to get to know each other? Where are you going so late at night? Why don't we go grab a drink?"
"Sick," Su Qingxue muttered, unwilling to engage. She steered the wheel to pull away, but as soon as she started moving, the other car blocked her again.
The young man in the Porsche continued his harassment: "Beauty, why the rush? Am I that scary?"
"Get out of the way," Lin Feng suddenly shouted at him, his voice icy.
The young man’s expression turned furious. He sneered at Lin Feng with disdain, "What do you think you’re doing, kid? Do you know who I am? Get lost while you still can. I’ve taken a fancy to the woman next to you, and she isn't getting away tonight."
"Is that so?" Lin Feng said dismissively. He turned to Su Qingxue and said, "Qingxue, let’s switch seats."
"What are you doing? Lin Feng, calm down, don't do anything reckless," Su Qingxue said, worried that he might just floor it and ram the other car—that Porsche was worth a fortune, and the damages would be astronomical.
Lin Feng said nothing more. After switching seats, he simply reminded her, "Hold onto the grab handle. I'm going to have some fun with him."
"Huh?" Su Qingxue blinked, bewildered.
Lin Feng looked at the Porsche owner and sneered, "Didn't you want to play? Let's see if you can keep up."
"Oh? You want to race me, kid? Racing is my specialty. Whether it's skill or car performance, I can leave you in the dust."
"Then try me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng slammed on the gas, perfectly coordinating the handbrake and steering wheel. The car drifted in place and effortlessly pulled up alongside the Porsche! The moment he released the brake, the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
"What the—!" The Porsche owner was stunned, not expecting such driving skill from this guy. Not wanting to be outdone, he sneered and floored his own accelerator, giving chase.
His limited-edition Porsche had been heavily modified, its speed rivaling professional race cars. Combined with the young man's expert driving, the car flew down the road like a bolt of lightning.
*Whoosh!* Pedestrians barely caught a glimpse of a car flying by; the tail lights were gone before they could even see the hood. But it wasn't the young man's Porsche—it was the BMW driven by Lin Feng.
Su Qingxue sat in the passenger seat, her face deathly pale. She instinctively gripped the grab handle, her breathing shallow and frantic. She had never experienced such speed; it felt as though the car were about to take flight.
The Porsche chased for a while, but the driver found that even with his foot pressed to the floor, he couldn't close the gap. He gritted his teeth in frustration. "Strange, how is that kid so fast? Is something wrong with my car?"
He shifted gears and accelerated again, but no matter how hard he pushed, the BMW remained ahead. When he reached the next turn, a miraculous scene occurred: as soon as he rounded the corner, the BMW had completely vanished!
"Damn it, what the hell? How could he be that fast?" The young man’s heart skipped a beat. He drove around searching, but there was no trace of Lin Feng left.
A moment later, he pulled over in a fit of rage and slammed his steering wheel. "The brat actually got away. Just wait, I’m not letting this go."
Recalling the license plate number of the BMW, a cold look crossed his face. He pulled out his phone and called his subordinate. "Old Wang, look up a license plate for me. I want all the information on the owner of that vehicle."
"Yes, Young Master."
Minutes later, the subordinate returned with the information. "Young Master, I’ve found it. The car you’re looking for belongs to Su Qingxue of the Su Family Bank. I’ve sent all the details on her to your phone."
After hanging up, the young man opened his messages and saw everything about Su Qingxue. When he saw her photo, his heart began to pound. She was stunningly beautiful.
*I must have her,* he thought. *No woman I set my sights on has ever escaped my grasp.*
Ten minutes later, Lin Feng arrived at the Jiangcheng Grand Hotel. As he helped Su Qingxue out of the car, she felt dizzy from the sheer speed of the drive.
"Qingxue, are you alright?" Lin Feng asked with concern.
"I’m... I’m fine, just a little dizzy. Where did you learn to drive like that? You were so fast," she asked, full of curiosity.
"Self-taught. Take this pill; it will cure the dizziness," Lin Feng said, handing her a small pill. It was a concoction he made from traditional herbs for meditation and mental clarity, but it also worked wonders for motion sickness.
Su Qingxue swallowed the pill, and within seconds, her dizziness vanished completely. Together, they walked into the hotel.
