Chapter 13

Lily immediately braked the car and parked beside the sidewalk. Propping her elbow on the car, she was prepared to watch another episode of drama.

"Isn't that Zhong Ni?" A piercing voice spoke up. Several cars surrounded Shu Kori's car, trapping his car in the middle.

Zhong Ni firmed his face, stood up and said crisply, "So what if I am?"

A man stepped out from the only yellow car in the group. He stood with his back leaning against the door and laughed boisterously. "You fool, San Francisco is our territory. You think you can come and go as you please? It's not going to be that easy."

Zhong Ni sat up on the door of the rolled down convertible, right behind Shu Kori. He scrutinized the man from head to toe and laughed mockingly. "You loser, you have no rights to talk to me. You lost but didn't want to admit it. Not only that but you decided to be sly and pull a few tricks. Your grandpa has the nerves to come here then that means I'm not afraid of your gimmick."

The man's expression changed for the worst as he listened to Zhong Ni's blunt words. Clenching his fists, he gritted his teeth. "Don't be rude just because I'm showing some politeness. I'm going to ask you one more time, are you going to join? If you're not going to join then don't blame me for not being polite."

Carefully observing from the sideline, Lily was able to roughly understand the situation. Zhong Ni had probably won over those guys in a car race, which was why they wanted him to join their team. Unable to get him to join, they turned to underhanded tricks.

Lily suddenly looked down on those people. Lily didn't think there was a need to talk it out, just beat them up already. Consequences could be dealt with later. It wasn't as if they were diplomatic people. This was simply wasting time and not resolving anything. Lily had totally forgotten that the three guys, who were trapped in the middle, were people she was acquainted with. Yet she wasn't thinking about helping them, instead she wanted to watch the amusing scene. She was a typical detached and heartless person.

"So what if you're not polite?" Zhong Ni wasn't able to say a word when Su Luo coolly interrupted.

Only he had the power to do whatever as he pleases in San Francisco. They had the nerves to talk about territory in front of him. These people were really thick-skinned in a foolish way.

"I will –" The scary-faced man couldn't finish his sentence when a chilly voice spoke up from behind.

"With the young master from Sen Yu Group here, we don't dare to be discourteous. I was rude last time. I'm really sorry." Despite the words of apologies, there was no real intention of actually apologizing.

Lily shifted her gaze over to the car behind the scary-faced man. That person didn't seem fierce, pompous or murderous but still took others by surprise. Lily's interest was further piqued.

Those words turned the fiery crowd silent.

The scary-faced man was slightly faltered by the information then coldly scoffed. "Turns out you have powerful backing, is that why you were so arrogant?"

Zhong Ni shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "So what if I'm arrogant?"

The man was instantly speechless.

The mysterious person hiding inside the car spoke up again, "The young master of Feng Yang Group can naturally be arrogant."

Zhong Ni stiffened up. A finger, placed on top of Shu Kori's shoulder, unwittingly tapped once. Shu Kori shook his head. Zhong Ni's true identity was only known by Shu Kori and Su Luo. On the outside, Zhong Ni was one of the racers in the underworld. Nobody could've guessed he was the young master of Feng Yang Group—a multinational corporation in New York. It seems his true identity was not that simple.

"Since you already know, say what it is you want?" Su Luo crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the mysterious person inside the car with indifference. This person knew their true identities but still purposely blocked their paths, which meant this person also had influential power. Since it has turned out to be like this, they might as well cut to the chase. There was no need to care about the other racers surrounding them. Those people didn't even have the abilities to be considered an underling.

"From what I know, the CEO of Feng Yang Group had issued an announcement that they were hunting for their escaped young master. I think this news is going to travel fast."

Zhong Ni's face darkened. Capturing him and forcing him to marry some woman, don't even dream about it! He didn't have enough fun yet. Over his dead body will he marry some woman who only had family backing and nothing else to talk about.

Having heard those words, Su Luo knew immediately the person was threatening them. He asked coldly, "Conditions?"

"It's very simple. There's a car race 3 days later in Washington. We hope the young master of Feng Yang Group would join and represent us. In return, we will censor news regarding the young master; thus guaranteeing the young master will be able to continue to have his fun."

Zhong Ni furrowed his eyebrows. Representing someone else or representing himself, he didn't mind. However, who knew if the news about the illegal race would be kept on the down-low or not? Feng Yang wasn't as small as a pea. Feng Yang had its own source of information. His grandpa wasn't someone they could easily deceive.
