Bai Tang kept a close eye on the car behind her. To avoid any unnecessary complications, she had to ensure that other vehicles wouldn't be affected by her upcoming move.
So, from the very beginning, she steadily increased the distance between herself and the trailing cars.
Once again, Bai Tang moved into third place, while the blue car relentlessly pursued, taking fourth.
Aside from the fifth-place car closing in, there was now a noticeable gap between them and the rest.
With about a third of the track remaining until the finish line, she wasn't aiming for first, but second place had to be hers.
Approaching a curve ahead, Bai Tang glanced at the blue car tailing her, making sure the fifth-place vehicle wouldn't get caught in the crossfire of her maneuver.
She deliberately steered to the left, clearing a path for that car to overtake.
At the same time, her move to the left opened an opportunity for the blue car.
The man seized the moment, using the curve's momentum to ram straight into Bai Tang.
Bai Tang gripped the steering wheel, slowing down as much as possible. She dodged to the side, and just as he prepared to strike again, she executed a sharp, clean drift, spinning her car's front toward the blue vehicle.
The heavy impact, combined with the curve's inertia, sent the car spinning across the track.
The heart-stopping scene instantly drew screams from the audience.
The blue car slid off the track, crashing into a barrier. Its front end smoked from the collision, forcing it to a halt.
Meanwhile, the silver car on the track kept spinning in place, its tires screeching against the asphalt, white smoke billowing out, adding a touch of mystery to the moment.
The crowd kept screaming, unable to clearly see what was happening inside the white smoke. Only the car passing by witnessed the silver vehicle, after a few rotations, execute a stunning, precise drift, gliding smoothly through the curve and holding steady on the track.
As the silver car burst through the white smoke, the terrified screams transformed into excited cheers.
That move was dazzling, slick, and a bit cocky.
But undeniably, it stole the spotlight.
"So cool!"
"I was terrified just now, thought it would get knocked out too, but it held steady and even pulled off such a badass drift!"
"That move was 666!"
In the stands, the crowd buzzed with chatter, all marveling at the thrilling, dangerous spectacle of the silver car.
The driver of the blue car was unharmed, aside from some broken bones in his limbs, but he was fuming with rage.
He had planned to take the other out, only to end up being the one knocked off the track.
The thought was unbearable.
Chu Yi took a deep breath. That was intense!
Turning to look at Sheng Qi, Chu Yi noticed no emotional reaction from him and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, weren't you worried just now?"
Sheng Qi said nothing, his gaze fixed on the silver car now firmly in third place, his eyes darkening slightly.
Was she certain she'd succeed? Or was she gambling?
Sheng Qi narrowed his eyes dangerously, his thin lips pressed into a cold line, his gaze deep as the sea, unreadable.
"Boss?"
"If it were you, would you be confident?" Sheng Qi spoke, cutting off Chu Yi's words.
Chu Yi paused, thought for a moment, then replied, "I don't know!"
"Wait, was that girl just betting with her life?"
Chu Yi exclaimed, "Is she crazy?"
Seeing Sheng Qi silent, Chu Yi frowned. "Boss, don't tell me she was sure she'd pull it off?!"
