Chapter 1169 - 1170: Grabbed the Wrong Place

Chapter 1169: Chapter 1170: Grabbed the Wrong Place

"Bastard!" Lingzhi roared furiously, gripping the steering wheel tightly, and slammed on the brakes with all her might.

"Crazy woman, are you trying to kill us?" Song Xiaodong yelled back, watching as Lingzhi’s car finally made it around the bend and said, "You were going so fast just now, don’t you know the car could flip?"

Lingzhi also felt the car was a bit out of control and snapped back, "And you still have the nerve to take advantage of me?"

"Take advantage of you, my ass! I’m helping with the weight distribution, okay? Otherwise, how do you think the car didn’t flip?" Xiaodong replied irritably.

"Shit, couldn’t you have said something first?" But due to this mistake, Mi Yunqing’s car had already overtaken hers, so she quickly stepped on the gas to catch up.

"Damn, it’s all curves here, and you’re still going this fast."

"No way, I can’t lose!" But Lingzhi wouldn’t listen to that.

Xiaodong’s lip twitched slightly as he said, "Now listen to me, during the curves, keep it around 140, I need to adjust the weight distribution, otherwise you can forget about winning."

"One hundred and forty... that’s too slow," Lingzhi immediately protested.

"Nonsense, we’ve never worked together before, and I’m not very familiar with how your car handles, do you think I wouldn’t want to try a couple of adjustments?"

"Fine!" This time Lingzhi responded decisively; to win, she couldn’t afford to flip the car.

They came to another bend, and indeed, Lingzhi controlled the speed, while Xiaodong focused on the curve, starting to lean towards Lingzhi as they entered the turn.

As the curve tightened, he leaned more until, at the maximum bend, he was pressed against Lingzhi.

"Damn it!" With Xiaodong pressing against her body, Lingzhi couldn’t help but curse, but fortunately, Xiaodong quickly moved away and leaned back.

But she had to admit, this time the car didn’t lose control during the turn, and it swiftly navigated the curve.

"Good, increase speed by twenty kilometers for the next turn," Xiaodong instructed again.

"Got it!" Lingzhi agreed readily, floored the accelerator, and chased after Mi Yunqing’s car.

Just as Xiaodong had predicted, the opponent’s car didn’t completely leave her behind. After overtaking her, they clearly slowed down a bit, maintaining a certain distance from her.

This infuriated Lingzhi; whether winning or losing, she never liked others making allowances for her—it was humiliating, absolutely intolerable.

Quickly, they approached another curve, and Lingzhi heeded Xiaodong’s advice, adjusting her speed as Xiaodong leaned in again.

By now, Lingzhi was getting used to it, keeping her focus on driving without cursing anymore.

As a result, Lingzhi’s car performance got a compensatory boost; the only limiting factor now was her driving skill.

"Damn, this little crappy car can actually reach such speed and not flip on the curves, the modifications are really quite good, just a pity about the lack of skill," the foreigner in Mi Yunqing’s car murmured in surprise.

Mi Yunqing spoke excitedly, "So does that mean we’re guaranteed to win?"

"Of course, it’s no biggie," the foreigner snapped his fingers casually.

Mi Yunqing chuckled, "But don’t win too overwhelmingly, otherwise I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it."

"Hah, no problem, I’m already holding back against her, winning by five seconds is enough."

"Right, right, that’s the spirit."

But as they approached the mountain peak, the foreigner said with some surprise, "Huh?"

"What’s wrong?" Mi Yunqing hurriedly asked.

The foreigner replied, "The opponent’s speed has increased quite a bit, I really can’t afford to be careless now."

"Don’t be careless! If you lose, I’m screwed."

"Relax, I’ve taken your money, so I won’t lose, this is just a minor thing."

Not only was Xiaodong assisting Lingzhi with the car’s weight distribution, but he was also guiding her driving skills.

Lingzhi’s reaction speed was top-notch, and her driving was pretty good already, but she mostly relied on instinct without proper professional guidance.

Xiaodong, being a rather brilliant coach, directed Lingzhi’s maneuvers, and she quickly began to showcase her talent, becoming more skilled and pushing the speed further.

Soon, they reached the mountain top, and after a sharp turn, they began descending.

But now a more serious problem emerged. While going up the mountain, every turn was a right turn, so Xiaodong needed to lean to the left to balance the weight.

However, going downhill, as they returned along the same route, every turn was now a left turn, needing him to lean to the right.

This meant that Lingzhi had to lean towards the right as well.

Lingzhi hadn’t realized this problem and continued accelerating downhill.

If Xiaodong were familiar with the route, he would have anticipated this issue in advance. Now realizing they were returning the same way, the problem just dawned on him and he immediately shouted, "Lean your body towards me."

Lingzhi had been following Xiaodong’s commands, so naturally, she leaned towards him, but her hands and feet continued to control the car.

"Let go of your right hand." Xiaodong instructed quietly, leaning towards the side of the car, extending his left hand to directly grab Lingzhi, adjusting the tilt of her body.

Weight distribution isn’t achieved just by leaning over; it requires adjusting Lingzhi’s posture according to the bend’s angle.

Clearly, Lingzhi couldn’t manage this precision herself, so Xiaodong had to control her positioning.

"Damn it, you’re hurting me!" Lingzhi exclaimed.

"Bear with it," Xiaodong’s eyes were fixed on the outside curve, adjusting Lingzhi’s position. Fortunately, Lingzhi was light, so primarily due to Xiaodong being on the right, she didn’t have to literally throw herself onto him like before, otherwise, they couldn’t have driven at all.

"Damn, you’re grabbing my chest!" Lingzhi shouted angrily as she drove.

Xiaodong glanced and said, "Grab means grab, you’re my wife anyway."

He could have grabbed her shoulder, but since that’s where Lingzhi had to stabilize the steering wheel, any distraction could veer the car off course, so holding her chest was actually safer.

"You rogue, just you wait, I’ll settle this score after the race!" Lingzhi yelled furiously, but she couldn’t afford any distraction now. At this speed, any lack of focus could truly lead to a crash.
