Kapitel 8: Speed of Life and Death
Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Brother, you're here! I was so worried about you." Tang Yuan saw Tang Shun in the crowd as soon as she entered the stands. She pulled Tang Shun's sleeve and lowered her head pitifully. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have participated in such a dangerous competition. Why didn't you go backstage?"
Tang Shun silently pulled back his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Can't wait for me to forfeit?"
"Why would you say that?" Tang Yuan's eyes were red. "Of course, I wouldn't anything to happen to you."
Tang Shun snorted. "Hmph. I hope so."
He ignored Tang Yuan. With her watching from the side, it was not convenient for Tang Shun to go backstage to look for Tang Shu. He was worried that Tang Yuan would ruin things if she knew that Tang Shu was here.
Backstage, Tang Shu found the registration desk and signed Tang Shun's name indifferently.
Some of the people who came here to participate in the competition were in debt that they would never be able to repay in their entire lives. Some of them were sloppy but arrogant young masters, but none of them looked like young girls who had just reached adulthood.
"You really want to play this, little girl?" The young man behind the registration desk was dumbfounded. He kindly advised her, "You should go home. This isn't for you."
"Do you have racing clothes?" Tang Shu glanced at the shelves behind her and pointed at a set of clothes in the corner. "Lend it to me."
The young man's jaw dropped, but he still took the clothes and gave them to her. "I'll give you a ride. Be good. If you like to play with cars, you can drive slowly at home. There's no need to…"
"Thank you." Tang Shu took the clothes and went to the changing room, not taking his advice to heart at all.
The young man watched as the girl's graceful figure slowly disappeared from his sight. He lowered his head and sighed regretfully. "What a pity. It's probably difficult for such a beautiful girl to survive the competition."
As he spoke, the sunlight at the door was suddenly blocked by someone. The young man was used to it and lowered his head to tidy up the shelves. "You won this round again, right? Isn't it boring?"
That person walked closer with his long legs. His features gradually became clearer under the light. Even if one had seen that cold and thin face a thousand times, one still could not help but be stunned.
"Let me tell you something interesting." The young man handed the man a bottle of water. The plastic bottle hanging with condensation was held by several long fingers.
"What?"
"Your fiancée signed up for the competition."
Tang Shu tidied up her clothes and walked into the racing track after confirming that no one could tell that she impersonated Tang Shun.
Although it was called a competition venue, it was just a rather steep winding mountain road. A high-definition camera would be placed at intervals on the road, and the images captured by the camera would be directly projected onto the big screen of the audience.
Tang Shu got into the car calmly. Fortunately, the racing cars were all arranged by the officials, so she did not have to worry about the quality difference.
She fastened her seat belt expertly, released the handbrake, and squinted at the track before her.
The noisy audience was silent for a moment. Then, with a gunshot from the starting point, a fierce cheer suddenly erupted.
The five racing cars turned into sharp swords that swept up a cloud of dust as they rushed out of the starting point.
The audience here carried their own chips. They did not have to take the field themselves. They just had to place bets before the race started on the racing cars they had high hopes for.
Some people became rich overnight here, while others lost their entire fortune. However, it was much better to work hard in the competition.
Tang Shu calmly stepped on the accelerator and rushed out first. Before the other cars could react, she had already rushed to the first turning point.
"Whose car is that? Why is it so fast?"
"Let me see…" Spectator A took the competition table and compared it carefully. He could not help but exclaim, "It's Tang Shun. It's the Tang family's car!"
"The Tang family?" Everyone looked at Tang Shun in the audience. "Isn't Young Master Tang sitting here? Who's competing?"
"Maybe he found a god? How much did he spend? Young Master Tang really invested a lot."
Tang Shun was rendered speechless by the sarcasm. Where did he find a god? However, he had no time to care about this now. He only knew that Tang Shu had not come out since she went backstage. He was so worried that he could not sit still.
Just as Tang Shun was feeling uneasy, something happened on the field.
Racing car number four rushed out to chase after Tang Shu, who was far ahead. The intention of this car was very obvious. It was not to win but to kill her.
Tang Shu knew very well that this car had driven her to the edge of the cliff several times. It had forced her to either stop the car and admit defeat or roll down the cliff in the most despicable way.
However, Tang Shu would not choose either path. She had never chosen the answer that others had arranged for her. She only trusted herself.
