"Make way for the car ahead!" "Don’t interfere with my contribution to Qiufeng Mountain!" "I’m going to conquer the landslide ahead and carve out a road!" Su Xuan stuck his head out of his car window and shouted at Fang Chao, who was squatting beside the collapsed road. The reason he hadn’t kept up with Fang Chao was that he had taken a detour to handle this very matter: buying timber and hiring people to help pave the road. All in all, it had only taken about ten minutes. "Damn!" Fang Chao cursed under his breath. That sure sounds nice. Are you really contributing to Qiufeng Mountain? You’re clearly creating a diversion to sneak past! You want to win this race! I won’t move aside! I’m going to make this spot the finish line! "Brother Su, he clearly heard you, but he’s ignoring you!" Shi Yazier frowned. "Do you want me to go and grab his ear?" "Ha, no need," Su Xuan quickly waved his hand. When Shi Yazier said he’d grab Fang Chao’s ear, he wouldn’t just be bringing Fang Chao over by the ear. No, he would literally bring back *only* Fang Chao’s ear. It was a terrifying thought. "Fellas, could I trouble you to ask the person up ahead to move his car?" Su Xuan then called out to the villagers sitting in the wooden cart behind him. "No problem, Boss Su!" "We’ll get him to move his car right away!" The villagers immediately jumped down from the wooden cart and approached Fang Chao. "What do you think you’re doing?" Fang Chao demanded. "Trying to start a fight? Let me tell you, I know your village chief. Crossing me won’t do you any good!" Fang Chao couldn’t help but feel a bit scared when he saw that the villagers were all holding various tools, like axes, saws, and shovels. "I am the village chief!" As it happened, one of the villagers with a Yuxi cigarette dangling from his mouth spoke up. "How come I don’t know you?" Fang Chao was speechless. The village chief continued with a stern face, "Boss Su provided the vehicle, the manpower, and the funds, all to get this road fixed. Don’t cause trouble here!" Fang Chao’s eyes flickered. "How much money did he give?" The village chief asked, "Why do you want to know?" Fang Chao tugged at the village chief’s arm, lowering his voice. "Chief, now that we know each other, eh? I’ll offer you double the money, how about you work for me? Help me pave the road, let me pass first, then tear it down so he can’t get through!" The village chief immediately responded coldly, "Young man, your thinking is very dangerous!" With that, he waved to the villagers who came with him. "Push his car away!" The villagers promptly set about pushing Fang Chao’s car. Fang Chao narrowed his eyes. My car’s in park. You can’t push it! Unexpectedly, the village chief merely poked his head through the car window. He casually moved his hand, disengaged the parking brake, and the car began to move! Fang Chao exclaimed in surprise, "Chief, you know how to tinker with these things?" The village chief replied disdainfully, "When I was studying abroad, I often went to the races with my classmates. What kind of car haven’t I seen?" Looking at the village chief’s shabby clothes, Fang Chao asked, "Then why are you in this mountain village..." The village chief retorted, "Qiufeng Mountain is my hometown. Is it wrong for me to contribute to it?" Fang Chao was left speechless. Fine, fine! So you’re all making contributions to Qiufeng Mountain, right? Can I just admit defeat? "This car smells awful!" "Yeah, it’s suffocating! I can’t breathe!" "Did they take a dump in the car?" the villagers muttered among themselves while pushing the vehicle. Standing to the side, Han Shanchi’s face flushed with shame. "Stop pushing, stop pushing!" Fang Chao shouted, unable to save face any longer. "I’ll reverse it myself!" He got into his car, and with Su Xuan’s cooperation, they found a slightly wider section of road to maneuver their vehicles past each other. And just like that, Su Xuan’s Charman King was once again in first place. In the live broadcast room under the rain shelter at the base of the mountain, Fang Chao’s team couldn’t help but feel disheartened at the scene. "He’s in first place again?" "This is just ridiculous!" Su Xuan was first once again, meaning that history was about to repeat itself. "Brother Su is unbelievable!" "He never plays by the rules!" "I, Cen Haonan, am impressed!" "I, Heizi, am also impressed!" Cen Haonan and Heizi lit up another cigarette, puffing away with glee. Even the referee, old man Li, who was always yawning, had long been captivated by this extraordinary race. He stared intently at the monitor, his gaze fixed on Su Xuan. Following that, the villagers carried two logs from the cart. As per Su Xuan’s instructions, they laid them across the collapsed section of road, forming a simple yet perilous double-log bridge. "Boss Su, take it slow!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 "A little to the left!" "A bit to the right!" "Okay, okay, go straight!" After building the bridge, they considerately helped direct Su Xuan’s car, allowing him to accurately guide the wheels onto the logs and cross successfully. In truth, with Su Xuan’s driving skills, he didn’t need their directions at all; he could have driven across the double-log bridge with one eye closed. I must cross quickly, too! Otherwise, it’ll be too late! Fang Chao immediately started his vehicle and drove toward the two logs. But in the next second, he slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt. He stopped because he saw that after Su Xuan had crossed, he didn’t just drive away. Instead, Su Xuan got out of his car and stood beside one of the logs. "What... what are you trying to do?" Fang Chao immediately got out and shouted at Su Xuan, his voice trembling slightly. Su Xuan kicked one of the logs and, for some reason, asked, "Ever heard a poem?" Fang Chao, puzzled by the sudden talk of poetry, asked, "Which poem?" Su Xuan slowly recited, "Endless logs fall with a whistling sound!" Fang Chao’s heart skipped a beat. "Are you trying to push the logs down the mountain?" He’s burning the bridge after crossing it! This would cut off my path to first place! "I don’t have to push them down," Su Xuan said. "Just pay me a toll. After all, I spent money on these things and need to break even." Fang Chao frowned deeply. "How much do you want?" "There are two logs in total," Su Xuan replied. "Twenty million isn’t too much to ask, right?" "Twenty million?" Fang Chao laughed. "Hahaha, do you take me for an idiot? Only a fool would give you twenty million!" "If we can’t agree, then forget it," Su Xuan said. With that, he gave the heavy log a hard kick, and it actually budged. Seeing this, Fang Chao hurriedly waved his hands. "Stop kicking, okay? You win! Let’s talk this out. Twenty million is definitely too much. The most I can give you is 100,000!" Su Xuan said nothing and continued kicking the log. "Three hundred thousand!" Fang Chao offered. Su Xuan kicked the log. "Five hundred thousand!" Su Xuan kicked the log. "Damn it, stop kicking! It’s going to fall if you kick it again!" Fang Chao yelled. He finally understood. Su Xuan was retaliating for earlier, when I crashed into the mountain to block the road with dirt! This guy clearly holds a grudge...
