Chapter Forty-Five

  "Zhao Zijun, our competition is about to begin. No matter what others think, whoever comes out first between the two of us will be the winner!" Yang Zhijie was wearing a deep blue racing suit, making him look slender and handsome. At this moment, he walked slowly to Zhao Zijun's car and smiled as he looked at Ai Ziqing with sparkling eyes.

  "No." Zhao Zijun slightly shook his head.

  Has he changed his mind? Yang Zhijie's face suddenly looked a bit ugly, and he pointed at the stands in anger: "These people who came to watch us play are all here for our match, do you not have the guts now?"

  Zhao Zijun slightly shook his head and looked at Yang Zhijie with disdain, saying: "No, my goal is the championship of the big tournament." What's the point of just competing with you, Yang Zhijie?

  Yang Zhijie heard this and laughed in extreme anger: "Good! Then I wish you good luck, but our agreement remains unchanged."

  Zhao Zijun looked at Ai Ziqing with a smiling face and nodded slightly.

  "Ai Zi Qing suddenly interrupted: 'Don't forget, if you lose, you have to run a lap around the venue naked, oh, and it's allowed to wear one pair of underwear.'"

  "Hey!" Yang Zhi Jie's face still had a smile on it, but upon hearing Ai Zi Qing's teasing, he suddenly stiffened.

  However, he nodded very confidently soon after. Suddenly, Yang Zhijie's phone rang, and he answered the phone with a smile all over his face. He glanced at Zhao Zijun and Ai Ziqing before turning around and leaving.

  "Wait a minute." Ai Zi Qing narrowed her eyes, there were still ten minutes before the competition ended, but Yang Zhi Jie was walking out of the venue, and his confident expression just now made Ai Zi Qing feel even more suspicious.

  Ai Zi Qing quietly followed behind him, seeing that he really walked out of the venue, and felt that there was something wrong with him, so she looked through the wall of the venue to observe.

  Yang Zhijie quickly walked towards a thick and heavy black Mercedes-Benz, while the window of the Mercedes-Benz slowly slid down, revealing a young and handsome face.

  This face Aizi Qing will never forget!

  An Ze? No, it should be Huangfu Ze!

  At this time, Huangfu Ze was sitting in the back seat of the car. The window slowly slid down to the mouth position. Yang Zhijie quickly walked to the front of the window and bent down. The two said something at the window. Afterwards, Huangfu Ze raised his arm and handed out a white paper folded into a square shape. Inside, you could vaguely see lines formed by black ink.

  Then Huangfu Ze said something else, and Yang Zhijie's smile at the corner of his mouth grew even wider, nodding repeatedly.

  Map!

  This was the first thing Ai Zi Qing thought of. With the influence of the Huang Pu family, it shouldn't be difficult to get a map of the underground racing track. Could it be that the Yang family is also close to the Huang Pu family?

  It seems that Yang Zhijie probably won't mention himself to Huangfu Ze, because in his eyes, he would only think of himself as an unimportant mainland girl with good skills, and there's no need for him to bring it up with Huangfu Ze.

  Moreover, judging from Yang Zhijie's attitude towards the latter, it doesn't seem like they can get familiar to the point of chatting about family matters, and there is a hint of respect, so even if the two know each other, he probably won't expose himself for the time being.

  Now the trouble is that Yang Zhijie has the map of this track in his hand, he must carry it with him, and he can't openly take the map away, which will not only make things bigger, but also the map itself was given by Huangfu Ze, if Yang Zhijie mentions it to him afterwards, he will be at a loss!

  The Mercedes-Benz window slowly slid up and closed, covering the face that looked harmless but was actually powerful and ruthless. The car then slowly started and drove away, and Yang Zhijie also watched it leave before turning around and walking towards the venue.

  Ai Zi Qing withdrew her powers and returned to Zhao Zi Jun's side just before Yang Zhi Jie entered the venue.

  "What is the relationship between Yang Zhijie and the Huangfu family?" Ai Ziqing took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and turned to look at Zhao Zijun.

  "Yang Zhijie? He's the nephew of Huangfu Ze. Huangfu Ze is the grandson of the family head, Huangfu Xiong, and his only heir." Zhao Zijun explained after a moment of stunned silence.

  "Cousin?" Ai Zi Qing was surprised. Previously, because she had heard about Zhao Zi Jun and Yang Zhi Jie's background, she didn't ask David to investigate further. She didn't expect there was this layer of relationship?

  "Haha, the wealthy have no family affection, let alone a cousin from a different surname. However, it's true that the Yang and Huangfu families are in cahoots, this is an unchangeable fact." Zhao Zijun shrugged his shoulders and explained.

  This time, Ai Zi Qing furrowed her brow and sank into thought. The fact that the Huang Pu family's plan to jointly boycott and surround the Tang family was already a done deal, and since the Yang family was related to the Huang Pu family, they would certainly lean towards the Huang Pu family. Previously, it was said that the Zhao Corporation had been at odds with the Yang Group for a long time, and even now, they were still arguing over several orders. So, did the Zhao family have any possibility of standing on the side of the Tang family?

  "What does your father think?" Ai Zi Qing asked with a 17-year-old face, making the sensitive question seem much more casual.

  "My father... although he had previously received kindness from Old Master Tang, but this time he also did his duty to inform the Tang family, and as for whether he will stand on the side of the Tang family or not, it's hard to say." Zhao Zijun said hesitantly.

  Ai Zi nodded calmly, if it were her, she wouldn't have jumped into this muddy water for no reason either. After all, one misstep could lead to irreparable consequences. In the business world, where did so much benevolence come from?

  Since the incident where Zhao Zijun almost lost his life, it has not been confirmed whether it was indeed done by the Huangfu family. Zhao Zijun's commute to and from school is now escorted by a dedicated vehicle. Until now, the other party has not made another move.

  However, if it is confirmed that this matter was done by the Huangfu family, it would be too much to deceive people. If the Zhao family is forced to a desperate situation, it's hard to say whether they will join forces with the Tang family or not. Zhao Zijun said again: "This time, Old Master Tang is indeed in a difficult position. The Huangfu family has been preparing for this matter for a long time and has also cooperated with the Xin'an gang. Who else would dare to stand up and help the Tang family?

  All the small and medium-sized groups are watching from the sidelines, while the large financial groups have basically been bought or threatened by the Huangfu family. Only a handful of people like my father remain neutral, but they're also afraid of being remembered by the Huangfu family. After all, Feng Shaorong, the head of the Xin'an Gang, is someone who can make the entire Hong Kong tremble with just a stomp of his foot.

  "This time, the Huangfu family has a great advantage, and everyone is afraid of standing on the wrong team and being remembered with hatred." Ai Ziying nodded. She furrowed her brow and asked: "How could Old Man Tang have resisted the Huangfu family for so many years without any backup? And why would someone like Feng Shaorong join forces with Huangfu Xiong?"

  "Feng Shaorong's grandfather and Huang Fu-xiong were comrades-in-arms in the Vietnam War, and Huang Fu-xiong was said to be a comrade of Feng Lao Ye Zi. Although Feng Lao Ye Zi has passed away, the Xin'an Gang still maintains close ties with the Huang family. This is already an 'open secret' among Hong Kong's elite," Zhao Zijun explained.

  He continued, "Tang Lao Yezi is not without backup, but he didn't expect the Huangfu family to make such a big move this time. Originally, the Tang and Jiang families had a close relationship, and in the jewelry world, they were evenly matched with the Huangfu family. Although the Jiang family didn't have the same strong power as the Xin'an gang, they usually gave some face, and the two families' gangs had never clashed before. But this time it's different, anyone can see that Mr. Huangfu is going to play a ruthless game."

  Ai Zi Qing heard Zhao Zi Jun's words and had a general understanding of the situation she didn't know about, raising an eyebrow and saying "You know quite a lot."

  Zhao Zijun smiled and shook his head. As the heir of the Zhao family, he naturally had to grasp these major trends clearly.

  "By the way, this time the Jiang family seems to have proposed a marriage alliance, it's Jiang Jianbang's daughter Jiang Meiwu and Tang Ershao." Zhao Zijun sneaked a glance at Ai Ziqing's expression, seeing that she was unaffected, he let out a sigh of relief. He had also heard about this from his father yesterday, if Ai Ziqing hadn't mentioned it today, he wouldn't have brought it up either, after all, these big family matters didn't concern her much.

  "Oh? What if the Tang family refuses?" Ai Zi Qing asked.

  "I think the Tang family should have no reason to refuse. If the Jiang family withdraws, then the Tang family will really be finished." Zhao Zijun said with a face of righteousness.

  ……

  Dazzling sports cars are arranged in four rows, with five vehicles in each row.

  With a loud bang from the referee's gunshot, a string of tail gases shot out and sped away!

  It is currently 7 o'clock in the evening, and the competition time limit is until 7 o'clock on the second day. Bring your own food. If the car runs out of oil, you need to send a distress signal to indicate abandonment.

  Zhao Zijun's car was in the second row on the right, and in front of him was Yang Zhijie's sports car. The two of them rushed out at the same time, and then it was a thrilling chase.

  "We fall behind Yang Zijie and follow him first," Ai Ziying instructed.

  Zhao Zijun nodded slightly, although he didn't understand what was going on, and slowed down the car a bit. In an instant, they were overtaken by several sports cars from behind, and the thrilling sound of music could even be heard coming from one of the sports cars.

  "She has a map," said Ai Zi Qing.

  "What?" Zhao Zijun was shocked, "He has a map?"

  "Not bad, let's follow him closely for now and think of a way on the road." Ai Zi Qing nodded slightly.

  Zhao Zijun nodded slightly, his hands moving constantly as he shifted gears and accelerated, closely following Yang Zhijie's vehicle in front.

  After driving for about twenty minutes, two forks appeared in front of them. Yang Zhijie's car turned into the left fork without hesitation, and Zhao Zijun followed closely behind.

  Apart from the two of them, there were seven cars behind that also turned into the left fork. Aizhen saw from the rearview mirror that two black sports cars sandwiched a red sports car and overtook it after a series of collisions.

  "That's their usual trick, if they just compare car speed with Lamborghini, they will undoubtedly lose, so it's inevitable to use some despicable means." Zhao Zijun also saw this situation from the rearview mirror and shifted gears again to accelerate.

  Ten minutes later, several different forks appeared, and Yang Zhijie's car turned left without hesitation. Zhao Zijun followed closely behind under Ai Ziqing's orders.

  "Hmph, just follow me and it'll be fine, otherwise I'd have to go through the trouble of finding him." Yang Zhi Jie continued to observe the situation behind him through the rearview mirror, seeing Zhao Zi Jun following him as he turned in, and actually let out a cold laugh.

  "What's with these two cars following us all the time?" Zhao Zijun frowned and looked back at the two cars, which were the same two black sports cars that had ambushed the Lamborghini earlier!

  "Let's see at the next intersection." Aizhen also slightly frowned, if the next intersection is still being followed by the other party, it is likely that someone has deliberately done so.

  Digression

  The babies are really too powerful! Today, they rose from 18th place to 14th place all at once. I'm so touched!

  I hope to make a greater effort before the end of the month, although it's not possible to be in the top ten, after all, the closer you get to the front, the more difference there is. I don't ask for a place in the top ten, just do my best and squeeze into the top spot, that would be great!

  You are my pride! Too proud! Hurry up and code out the second update for me!

  The next update is expected to be coded after midnight 12 o'clock, or possibly tomorrow afternoon. Don't stay up late waiting, everyone.
