Anyone with a brain understands that being a driver for a big shot is far better than being a regular underling!
The profession of driver, like that of a powerful figure's woman, involves being the person closest to the powerful figure and being the one most trusted by him!
Xu Lang entrusted him, a newcomer, with the position of driver without any doubt, which shows his magnanimity and boldness!
"Thank you, brother!"
Xu Lang nodded, then told Hong Wentong and He Xigui to go back and rest.
Just as the two left, a crisp system notification sounded in Xu Lang's mind:
"Congratulations, host! You have successfully completed this system mission: Double-cross Hua Tian, seize all the gold he stole, and wipe out this gold thief gang!"
"Congratulations, host, you have received the reward for this mission: God-level Driving Skills!"
As the notification tone faded, a flood of driving knowledge rushed into Xu Lang's mind. His profound understanding of the car's performance and its various components was all integrated into the depths of his mind. At the same time, various driving skills were also imprinted in his mind and muscle memory.
So much so that even the most difficult blade drift can be performed by him in a second as naturally as if it were his own hand.
Feeling the god-like driving skills, Xu Lang was overjoyed and immediately got up to call He Xigui over.
He Xigui rested outside with Hong Wentong, but did not leave.
Xu Lang had already decided to make him his driver, so He Xigui was very conscientious and stayed outside to wait for Xu Lang's orders, ready to serve him at his command.
But Xu Lang summoned He Xigui, not to have him drive for him;
"You're a great driver. We're free today, so come with me for a spin!"
He Xigui was taken aback.
Brother Lang can also race cars?
However, since Xu Lang had given the order, He Xigui naturally had no questions and obediently followed Xu Lang to the underground parking lot.
“I know about your and Hua Tian’s actions. You were able to drive at 120 miles per hour in such a narrow passage in Mong Kok Market. Your driving skills are top-notch. Don’t be shy with me later, let’s have some fun!”
Xu Lang smiled at He Xigui, then turned and got into his sports car.
He was riding in a Ferrari sports car, while He Xigui was given a Lamborghini. Both of these cars belonged to Xu Lang, but the Lamborghini was slightly better in terms of performance, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h two seconds faster than Xu Lang's Ferrari.
However, Xu Lang had already acquired god-level driving skills, and this time he was racing against He Xigui to test his abilities, so he directly handed over the better Lamborghini to He Xigui.
He Xigui sat down in the Lamborghini, his heart pounding wildly.
He had driven Lamborghinis before, but only when racing or secretly using his boss's car for valet parking, so he was very familiar with the performance of Lamborghinis.
But Xu Lang actually gave him a Lamborghini with better performance, which made him a little suspicious.
At this moment, Xu Lang smiled and said through the car window:
"If you reach the top of Victoria Peak before me, I'll give you another million!"
Upon hearing this, He Xigui felt a surge of excitement.
He knew Xu Lang wouldn't play tricks on him; if he won, he really would reward him with another million!
Beside him, Hong Wentong glanced at Xu Lang and He Xigui, then smiled and raised his right hand:
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"start!"
He Xigui and Xu Lang had already started their cars, and both cars roared like raging beasts. However, both of them pressed the brakes hard, so although the cars were roaring, the wheels remained stationary.
With Hong Wentong's command to start, the two simultaneously stepped on the gas, and the two sports cars shot forward like arrows released from a bow.
In the blink of an eye, the two cars arrived at the exit of the underground parking garage almost simultaneously.
However, He Xigui's Lamborghini sports car had superior performance, so it was more than half a body length faster than Xu Lang's car. When it reached the exit, it directly overtook Xu Lang and shot straight out of the exit.
Xu Lang smiled faintly, pressed the accelerator to the floor, and followed He Xigui out of the underground parking garage.
The two cars arrived at the street one after the other. It was late at night, and there were few pedestrians and even few cars on the street. There were no obstacles on the street, and both cars were moving forward at full speed with the accelerator floored. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the street corner one after the other.
The street corner was a right angle. He Xigui immediately released the accelerator, tapped the brake with his left foot, and turned the steering wheel sharply. The car 350 immediately drew an arc along the right angle of the street corner and quickly passed the street corner with a series of screeching tires.
But at that moment, Xu Lang's car had already overtaken him. He didn't even release the accelerator, but entered the street corner at full speed. Only when the car passed the intersection did he turn the steering wheel sharply, and the car instantly slid in a high-speed arc and turned the corner in an instant.
Because he didn't slow down at all, the car overtook He Xigui in an instant as it rounded the bend.
But by the time He Xigui turned the corner and quickly stepped on the gas, he was already a few seconds slower than Xu Lang!
When masters clash, the distance between them can be nearly 100 meters in just a few seconds!
Xu Lang floored the accelerator, quickly overtaking He Xigui by a hundred meters, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the next intersection. He then performed a high-speed drift, still flooring the accelerator without touching the brakes, and instantly swept across the intersection.
In this way, after only a few intersections, although his Ferrari was two seconds slower than the Lamborghini in accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h, it had already overtaken He Xigui by a kilometer!
He Xigui stared wide-eyed at the Ferrari that was already far away in another block:
"My God, I almost couldn't even see the taillights!"
"With Lang Ge's driving skills being so amazing, does he really need me as his driver?"
Chapter 299 Assassin Feng Si pleads for help from Dongxing; System mission: Save Xiaozhuang
After passing through several blocks, Xu Lang arrived at the mountain path near Victoria Peak.
The mountain roads on Victoria Peak are narrow and winding, with many curves less than 40 degrees. It has always been a popular spot for Hong Kong Island's motorcycle gangs to race, and has long been known as Hong Kong Island's Akina Mountain!
But Xu Lang continued to accelerate at full throttle on the mountain road, the Ferrari roaring continuously, showing no signs of slowing down, and in less than five minutes it rushed straight to the top of the mountain.
He parked his car on the mountaintop, got out, enjoyed the mountain breeze, and lit a cigarette.
Two minutes later, He Xigui drove the Lamborghini to the top of the mountain.
Seeing Xu Lang leisurely smoking, He Xigui couldn't help but feel a mixture of admiration and shame.
Xu Lang's driving skills far surpassed his, because he was using a Lamborghini with better performance, which was two seconds faster than Xu Lang's Ferrari in 0-100 km/h acceleration. In a battle between experts, the outcome is often decided in a second, but Xu Lang was a full two minutes faster than him!
"Brother Lang, I give up! Do you really need me to be your driver?"
Xu Lang smiled faintly.
He certainly didn't really want to compete with He Xigui; he just wanted to test his god-level driving skills.
"Of course we need a driver!"
Xu Lang smiled and patted He Xigui on the shoulder:
"Just because I can drive doesn't mean I have to drive myself!"
"Understood!"
He Xigui suddenly realized, feeling a sense of honor despite defeat, and nodded to Xu Lang, saying:
"I will definitely be a good driver, please don't worry, brother!"
……
Over here, Hong Wentong saw Xu Lang and He Xigui leave the garage one after the other, but he did not follow them. Instead, he turned around and went back to his car, preparing to drive back.
Although he didn't know Xu Lang's driving skills, he trusted Xu Lang completely.
Since Xu Lang dared to race He Xigui, he would never lose!
After getting back into his car and starting the engine, Hong Wentong prepared to return to his residence to rest. He had been dealing with Hua Tian and Ma Wangdong's affairs for the past two days, and it was time for him to go back and rest.
Just as his car drove out of the underground parking garage, his phone rang.
Hong Wentong looked down and saw a somewhat unfamiliar number.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then answered the phone. A somewhat deep voice came from the other end:
"Hey! Is this Brother Hong Wentong?"
The voice sounded somewhat unfamiliar, and Hong Wentong frowned, saying:
"Who are you?"
"Sorry to bother you, Brother Tong! I'm Feng Si!"
Hong Wentong suddenly remembered who the other person was.
This Feng Si, whose real name is Feng Gang, is the head of an assassin organization in Hong Kong. He had previously done business with Hong Wentong, so they knew each other.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
Hong Wentong could only be considered to know Feng Si and had some contact with him, but they were not particularly close, so his attitude towards him was neither warm nor cold.
Over there, Feng Si's tone seemed somewhat anxious, with a hint of urgency:
"I'm sorry to contact you so late, but I really have no other choice!"
Feng Si paused for a few seconds at this point, as if making his final decision:
"You know what I used to do, Brother Tong, but I've recently run into some trouble, and I hope you can help me out!"
It turns out that Feng Si and his brother Xiao Zhuang are both assassins, but they are both controlled by the mastermind Wang Hai!
He and Xiao Zhuang had previously received a job to take down Wang Dongyuan, the boss of Dongyuan Group, who was also Wang Hai's uncle!
Although Xiao Zhuang is an assassin, he is loyal and compassionate. When he killed Wang Dongyuan's brother Zhang Hongwei, he accidentally injured Jenny, a blind female singer in a bar. Feeling guilty and compassionate, he rescued Jenny.
It is a grave taboo for an assassin to have a change of heart. Wang Dongyuan's nephew, Wang Hai, therefore harbored murderous intentions towards Xiao Zhuang. After ordering Xiao Zhuang to kill his uncle Wang Dongyuan, he immediately sent assassins to kill Xiao Zhuang.
But Xiao Zhuang was more skilled; he dodged the assassin's attack at the dock and killed him in the process.
This enraged Wang Hai, who then forced Feng Si to kill Xiao Zhuang.
After receiving Wang Hai's order, Feng Si, after careful consideration, ultimately couldn't bear to harm his brother of many years. However, he also knew that if he didn't act, Wang Hai might send assassins to kill him and Xiao Zhuang.
Therefore, he suddenly thought of Hong Wentong!
Although Feng Si didn't have a deep relationship with Hong Wentong, he knew the strength of Dongxing and that Xu Lang valued talent highly and treated his brothers exceptionally well. Hong Wentong was also an open-minded person.
Therefore, he dialed Hong Wentong's number on a whim.
"Brother Tong!"
After briefly explaining the whole story over the phone, Feng Si said:
"We are all people of the martial world, and the bond between brothers is more important than anything else. If I kill Xiao Zhuang, not to mention whether Wang Hai will come after me, I myself will probably regret it for the rest of my life!"
