Chapter 200: He Has That Feeling of Having His Intelligence Mocked

The racecourse manager quickly understood Luo Ling’s intention and led her to the car that Shen Junqing would be driving.
“Miss Luo, if it’s too obvious, the Shen family won’t take it lightly. We should be discreet,” the manager advised.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Luo Ling replied confidently.
She called over a professional mechanic and instructed him to tamper with the car Shen Junqing would be driving.
Each race car typically had two occupants: a driver and a navigator. Since Shen Junqing and Nan Yan had come together, Shen Junqing was the driver, and Nan Yan was the navigator.
She had been looking for an opportunity to get rid of Nan Yan.
However, even though she had sent people to help Bai Haoxuan, she still managed to escape.
When Bai Haoxuan was kicked out of the Bai family, the first person he went to ask for help was her.
However, she did not see him and even asked the butler to chase him out.
In her eyes, a useless piece of trash was not worth her effort.
Since Bai Haoxuan couldn’t handle this task for her, Luo Ling decided to take matters into her own hands.
She wanted Nan Yan dead because that was the only way she could divert Qin Lu’s attention away from her and possibly win his heart.
Therefore, even if the manager warned her that making things too obvious might offend the Shen family, Luo Ling was determined to orchestrate this accident.
After all, Shen Junqing was just a useless playboy, and the Shen family wouldn’t attach much importance to him.
In her knowledge, many members of the Shen family didn’t think highly of Shen Junqing and didn’t hold him in high regard.
As far as Luo Ling was concerned, if Shen Junqing died in this race, the Shen family would probably just say, “He got what he deserved.” They wouldn’t bother investigating whether the accident was intentional.
“Miss Luo, can I completely disable the brakes on this car?” the mechanic asked.
“Okay,” Luo Ling agreed.
On the race track, without brakes, there was no chance of survival!
At 9:30 PM, the race officially began. Nan Yan sat in the driver’s seat, with Shen Junqing in the passenger seat. Before starting the race, Nan Yan checked the condition of the car.
“The brakes have failed, and the intelligent system is malfunctioning. It looks like she wants to put me in a life-threatening situation this time,” Nan Yan remarked.
“Why does she hate you so much? What did you do? Just dealing with Bai
Haoxuan shouldn’t be a reason for her to want you dead,” Shen Junqing asked.
“To find out why, I’ll ask her after the race,” Nan Yan replied, her curiosity piqued as well.
In truth, she was also puzzled.
She hadn’t interacted much with Luo Ling, so there shouldn’t have been such a deep-seated conflict between them.
Shen Junqing looked serious. “Yanyan, do you still want to race under these conditions?”
With no brakes and a malfunctioning steering system, driving this car in a race would be extremely dangerous.
“It’s just a minor issue, it won’t affect us much,” Nan Yan reassured him.
She took out her phone, opened a web page, and connected the car and her phone using a data cable.
“For computer experts like me, everything can be solved with the convenience of technology,” she explained.
Shen Junqing:
He had that feeling of having his intelligence mocked.
Really!
Outside, the countdown had already begun.
A gunshot echoed, and all the cars on the track sped forward. However, the car that Nan Yan and Shen Junqing were in remained stationary. Luo Ling frowned. “Why aren’t they moving?”
The manager scratched his head. “I don’t know… I have no idea.”
Luo Ling didn’t expect him to have an answer, and she mumbled to herself,
“Could they have discovered something wrong with the car?”
Just as she was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, the car on the track finally started moving.
Luo Ling’s anxious mood eased a bit. She smiled with a hint of cunning satisfaction. So, it was just a delayed start.
As soon as that car started, this track became a road to hell.
Nan Yan’s car was incredibly fast.
Like a lightning bolt, it swiftly moved along the track, overtaking car after car.
Watching the cars getting faster and faster, a brilliant smile spread across Luo Ling’s face.
At this speed, the chances of survival in the event of a collision were extremely slim.
With no brakes, no steering, and her premeditated setup, they wouldn’t make it off this track!
Luo Ling’s emotions were starting to surge with excitement.
It was as if she could already see Nan Yan’s car destroyed, its occupants unrecognizable.
On the racetrack, however, Nan Yan was in complete control.
She connected her smartphone to the car’s smart system, and the onboard Al instantly displayed the complete map on the screen.
There was no need for Shen Junqing to remind her of the road conditions; the navigator was virtually redundant.
Shen Junqing quietly tightened his seatbelt once again, feeling Nan Yan’s incredible competence.
Highly intelligent individuals were indeed something else, akin to cheating.
In the final lap, Nan Yan maintained a commanding lead, crossing the finish line first.
The smile on Luo Ling’s face was at its brightest just as Nan Yan’s car appeared to be about to crash into the protective barrier.
Then, when it was only a meter away and the moment she expected to see the scene she desired:
The racing car, traveling at high speed, executed a drift, with its side brushing against the wall. It relied on the friction between the wall and the car body to gradually slow down.
The speed decreased slowly until it came to a complete stop.
Bang!
Luo Ling suddenly stood up, knocking over the chair behind her.
“How can this be!”
Her words came out through gritted teeth, and her face contorted in anger.
“Damn it!”
They had actually survived!
Not only had they survived, but they also won first place and were going to take home that fifty million!
Luo Ling felt as if she had just eaten a fly, her face turning green.
Her assistant quickly tried to calm her down:
“Miss Luo, please calm down. Remember, this time we are here to select a race car driver; this is a task given to you by the family head. We can’t let personal grudges interfere and tarnish the family’s reputation.”
“Nan Yan belongs to Mr. Qin. If she had died in the race earlier, it would have been fine, but now that she’s alive, targeting her again might anger Mr. Qin.”
“Shut up!”
Luo Ling’s face turned iron-cold.
She wasn’t devoid of intelligence; she could see the pros and cons of the situation.
She had failed this time, but there would be another chance.
She wasn’t in a hurry.
However, she couldn’t swallow this humiliation.
At that moment, on the racetrack, Nan Yan was driving the race car unusually, and other racers also noticed it.
“What’s going on? Did that car’s brakes fail or something?”
“It seems like it. Otherwise, why would they rely on friction against the wall to slow down?”
“This is terrifying. The speed of that car just now was so fast that the slightest mistake could have resulted in a fatal crash. The driver must be incredibly skilled and composed!”
“They definitely deserve first place!”
“That’s right, opening a race with a car without brakes, and they still managed to pull ahead by seven minutes and twenty-eight seconds. That’s impressive!”
“Look, look! The racer is getting out of the car!”
“Wow, is that a woman?”
Nan Yan got out of the car, removing her helmet, and her long, sleek black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
Her exquisite features under the glare of the lights seemed surreal.
“Oh my god, I’ve seen an angel!”
“No, it’s a goddess!”
“That’s right, it’s a goddess!”
Luo Ling’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Nan Yan step out of the car.
The person who just drove the car was not Shen Junqing, but her?
