Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Firepower Full On
Mocked by Dapeng, Ye Fan remained unflustered, pressing his foot on the brake and bringing the AE86 to a stop.
Seeing Ye Fan stop the car, Dapeng sneered, "What's this supposed to mean? Giving up and surrendering? Tsk, at least you have some self-awareness!"
In Dapeng's eyes, even if Ye Fan was the world's number one Racing God, driving an AE86 and taking on Xu Ruoxuan's Ferrari LaFerrari in a head-to-head challenge, he would still be utterly defeated.
"Give up and surrender?"
Hearing this, Ye Fan scoffed and pointed toward the traffic light in front, "Didn't you see the red light up ahead?"
What! A red light?
This guy stopped because he's waiting for a red light?
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Dapeng's mouth dropped open in shock, staring at Ye Fan with disbelief plastered all over his face.
"Do you even know what you're doing? Come on, big brother, you're street racing here!" Dapeng couldn't hold back his mockery any longer.
Ye Fan was already at a disadvantage driving an AE86, and now he was actually following traffic rules at this crucial moment—it completely overturned Dapeng's world view.
At this critical juncture, waiting for a damn red light—just charge through and be done with it.
"Waiting for a red light?"
Zhuang Jingwen was equally astonished, obviously she hadn't expected Ye Fan to do such a thing either.
As Dapeng and Zhuang Jingwen watched in shock, the red light turned green, and Ye Fan pressed the accelerator, with the AE86 slowly starting to move.
10 km/h! 20 km/h!
40 km/h!
Under Ye Fan's control, the AE86's speed stabilized at 40 km/h, without any hint of sprinting.
Dapeng, driving his War God GTR, seeing Ye Fan's low speed, couldn't help but bark out again, "I'm telling you, big brother, what on earth are you doing? Speed up! Why aren't you speeding up? Is your car out of gas or something? At this rate, you won't even see sister's taillights!"
"Ye Fan, why aren't you speeding up?" Zhuang Jingwen asked.
Although the AE86's top speed was only 160 km/h, Ye Fan persistently maintaining a speed of 40 km/h made Zhuang Jingwen anxious from the passenger seat.
Under their bewildered gaze, Ye Fan pointed to a speed limit sign to the right front and said, "It's not that I don't want to speed up, but this is a city road with a speed limit of 40!"
"Speed limit of 40? Damn it!"
After hearing Ye Fan's response, Dapeng felt darkness before his eyes, almost fainting from anger due to Ye Fan's live provocation.
As a street racer, thinking about traffic rules while racing was a complete upending of Dapeng's principles. Normally when he raced against others, he didn't think too much—just floored the gas pedal and zoomed off.
Ye Fan said coolly, "I am a good citizen who follows traffic rules. Not knowing that the city road speed limit is 40? Maybe you should download a driver's test guidebook and learn a little about that!"
"You want me to download a driver's test guidebook to learn the traffic rules?"
At that moment, Dapeng's mouth twitched violently. In his eyes, Ye Fan was no different from a lunatic.
"Ye Fan, although I'm not worried about this AE86, with this approach, you're likely not going to stand a chance at winning," Zhuang Jingwen frowned.
Ye Fan smiled, "Sister Jingwen, don't worry. The exciting parts often come later on!"
"The exciting parts are yet to come?" Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wenjing started to look forward to it.
Based on her understanding of Ye Fan, he might have a trump card up his sleeve, and she was quite interested to see how Ye Fan would deal with this race.
At this very moment, Xu Ruoxuan had already driven the Ferrari LaFerrari far ahead.
For some reason, Xu Ruoxuan's right eyelid started twitching incessantly, giving her a sense of ominous foreboding.
To confirm, Xu Ruoxuan spoke up, "Xiaozi, connect with Dapeng and ask where Ye Fan and the others are now!"
"Sure thing, big sister!" Xiaozi said excitedly.
Xiaozi quickly got in touch with Dapeng, who said with a teasing expression, "Dapeng, where's that guy now?"
"Just reached Technology Road!" Dapeng replied exasperatedly.
Xu Ruoxuan and Yu Rong looked astonished, "What? Just reached Technology Road? That can't be right!"
She knew the route from Fleeting Luxury Car Club to Western Suburb Purple Maple Mountain very well. If Ye Fan had just reached Technology Road, then she must have left him behind by at least ten kilometers. Although she had maintained a very high speed, the road was busy with traffic, and it wasn't possible for her to keep her speed at 200 km/h constantly!
Just now, Xu Ruoxuan had estimated that based on Ye Fan's average speed of 80 km/h, she would have led by at most five or six kilometers. She hadn't expected to be ten kilometers ahead of Ye Fan.
"Sister, what you don't know is that this guy not only waits for the red light on the road, but he also abides by the city's speed limit of 40. It's like he forgot to take his meds before leaving the house!" Dapeng couldn't help but complain.
"What? This guy waits for red lights and adheres to a city road speed limit of 40?"
Upon hearing Dapeng's complaints, Xiaozi was stunned and then burst into laughter, "Oh my god, this kid is really something. He still wants to beat Sister, dreaming!"
"Something's not right!" Xu Ruoxuan frowned.
Although it was her first time meeting Ye Fan, he gave her the impression of someone with hidden depths. Her instinct told her that the race wouldn't be as easy to win as it seemed.
If Ye Fan had only just reached Technology Road, lagging at least ten kilometers behind her, only a miracle could give him any chance of victory.
Xu Ruoxuan said with a peculiar expression, "Could it be I have misjudged, and this Ye Fan is actually incompetent?"
"Sister, how many geniuses can there be in this world, he must be a mediocrity!" Xiaozi mocked.
Shaking her head, Xu Ruoxuan said, "Better safe than sorry. Until we reach the finish line, we must be careful, wary of any unexpected developments midway. Dapeng, keep a close eye on Ye Fan and contact me immediately if anything happens!"
"Understood, Sister!" Dapeng responded.
After finishing her instructions, Xu Ruoxuan's right eyelid twitched crazily, which made her feel uneasy.
Could it be that some unexpected factors were about to come into play?
Meanwhile, Dapeng was following Ye Fan in his War God GTR, fuming at the sight of Ye Fan's continued slow driving, almost wanting to rush up and take over the driving for him.
Come on, brother, this is a race! How is this different from going out for a casual drive?
"It's coming up!"
Suddenly, Ye Fan murmured.
Zhuang Jingwen was startled and asked him, "What's coming up?"
"The fast and the furious is coming up!" Ye Fan said resolutely, his eyes fixed intently on the road ahead.
"The fast and the furious is coming up?" Zhuang Wenjing was very surprised.
Dapeng, on the other hand, looked disdainful, "Fast and furious? You've probably watched too many movies. With your snail's pace, there's no speed nor passion, and you still dream of fast and furious, pah!"
After saying that, Dapeng spat outside, his face full of contempt for Ye Fan.
"Now!"
Ye Fan completely ignored Dapeng's mockery. As the last traffic light ahead turned red, a sharp gleam shot through Ye Fan's eyes, and he heavily pressed down on the accelerator.
Boom!!!
In that instant, the AE86 roared like a revived car spirit, vanishing on the spot like lightning.
The tires screeched violently against the pavement, kicking up a cloud of dust that instantly engulfed Dapeng's vision.
"What happened?"
The roar from the AE86's engine, which sounded like a primal beast, gave Dapeng quite a scare.
Once the view cleared up, Dapeng looked ahead only to find no trace of the AE86 on the road.
