Chapter 3218: Saving the Zero‑Point Bai Ze Love Story 19
Night shrouded Cloud Forest Mountain, and on the Mountain Ring Road engine sounds roared like thunder.
Dozens of motorcycles sped along the winding mountain road. Yi Qi pressed low, cutting into the bend, his knees almost scraping the ground.
In the rearview mirror, Claire's deep‑green motorcycle clung tight, the gap between the two bikes narrowing to nothing, and in an instant Claire overtook him again.
Another bend.
Yi Qi adjusted his center of gravity, preparing to lean into the turn, but suddenly sensed something was off.
Claire slowed her speed before entering the bend.
Yi Qi slipped past Claire on her inside, taking the optimal line through the corner, and a flicker of doubt crossed his mind.
Why would Claire slow down here? There's no reason to reduce speed at this angle—it's a perfect overtaking chance, and with her skill she couldn't possibly not know that.
But the track gave him no time to dwell; Yi Qi merely stayed alert, twisted the throttle, and kept charging forward.
Claire followed behind him, her gaze dark and fixed ahead, waiting for Yi Qi's bike to fail.
He had tampered with that bike's brakes; according to his calculations, after successive high‑stress corners the brake system's pressure would hit critical, at which point Yi Qi would discover brake failure before a corner, unable to slow enough to turn—either careening off the track into the mountainside or choosing to bail, and at that speed bailing would mean death or serious injury.
All he needed was to follow behind, and at the moment Yi Qi lost control, find the right angle and give a light tap.
Then everything would end perfectly.
Yet one corner passed.
Claire waited.
Two corners passed…
Three corners…
Claire: "???"
Yi Qi's bike continued smoothly along the mountain road, cornering fluidly with no sign of losing control.
Claire's heart sank; how could this be.
The bike he had personally modified, the brake system he himself tuned, the failure timing he had calculated—there was no way it could go wrong.
Unless… Yi Qi had found out? He'd inspected it? Or someone had tampered beforehand?
Claire stared at that figure ahead, her gaze turning cold and wary.
But Yi Qi's riding posture was so committed, showing no abnormal reaction, appearing utterly immersed in the race, oblivious to the looming danger.
Just a minor slip.
Maybe this kid just got lucky, happening to avoid the stress point.
He wasn't about to accept that, twisted the throttle tighter and chased after him. No matter, there was still a chance.
Claire twisted the throttle, accelerated again, preparing to carry out the original plan.
Just then, another engine roar came from behind them.
Claire and Yi Qi almost simultaneously glanced in their rearview mirrors, each thinking a rider from behind had caught up.
But through the mirror's reflection, both pupils contracted at once.
It was indeed a club bike, but the rider wore no helmet, no racing suit—just a shirt with sleeves rolled to the elbows—like a released arrow shooting straight toward them.
Yi Qi's mind went blank for an instant.
Bai Ze, how are you here? You said you weren't free today—how did you end up on the track?
Moreover, he had no helmet, no protective gear, just hopped onto the club's spare bike and charged onto the track—are you trying to get yourself killed?
Even more alarming to Yi Qi was Bai Ze's speed.
Bai Ze had twisted the throttle to the limit, the speedometer needle nearing the red line, the bike wobbling slightly at high speed yet showing no intention to slow.
He lunged straight ahead, his posture clearly aiming to slam into the front bike and send it over the cliff!
After realizing that, Yi Qi's mind went blank for several seconds.
And just then Claire suddenly shouted, "Yi Qi, watch out!"
He cried out urgently and loudly, full of concern and tension, as if genuinely worrying for Yi Qi's safety.
This scene was relayed via high‑speed cameras along the route to the big screen down the mountain, clearly visible to everyone.
Spectators both down the mountain and up on it exploded!
From their perspective, it was just a helmet‑less, gear‑less mysterious person bursting onto the track, hurtling at a reckless speed toward the two leading riders—obviously there to cause trouble.
To say nothing of Yi Qi, who was already on that line, now in the most perilous spot—with a bend ahead, pursuers behind, a rock wall on the left and a cliff on the right.
Had it been someone a little less calm, they'd probably already have panicked and lost their composure from fear.
But Yi Qi did not.
In the midst of extreme danger and speed, he forced himself to stay calm—Bai Ze's target was Claire.
But why?
Yi Qi's eyes grew sharper; there was no time to ponder the answer, his body reacted before his mind.
He twisted the handlebars to adjust his line, coordinating with Bai Ze, who was hot on his tail from behind, trying to force Claire to stop.
The three motorcycles launched into a frantic chase along the narrow mountain road.
Yi Qi's speed was also pushed to the limit, his silver‑white bike leaving an afterimage in the night.
One side of this road is a solid rock wall, the other a black cliff; pushing speed to the limit on such a stretch is the utmost danger.
Yi Qi lowered his body further, the veins on his fair, slender hands bulging with explosive power as adrenaline surged through his bloodstream. Bai Ze read Yi Qi's intention.
Bai Ze saw Yi Qi's intention; Yi Qi was helping him block Claire's outer line. But that also meant Yi Qi was exposing himself to the most dangerous position—if Claire wrenched the handlebars wildly, if she chose the most extreme mutual‑destruction…
Just thinking about it made Bai Ze feel his blood rushing faster, striking his brain with waves of dizziness.
Yi Qi must not come to harm.
He accelerated again, throttled wide open, aimed for Claire's rear wheel, and slammed into her.
Claire's bike jerked violently, her eyes wide with shock and rage, before she could react Bai Ze struck a second time, this time hitting the side of her machine.
Claire was knocked off course, almost scraping the left cliff.
Damn it!!
Claire cursed furiously in her mind.
Ahead, Jiqi kept narrowing his path; behind, Baize slammed into his vehicle like a madman, leaving him trapped between them with no way forward or back.
Claire grew anxious and angry, the scene spiraling further out of control.
Even more damnable are the people he stationed on this road!!
Holy shit! Holy shit!
Claire gritted her teeth, desperately stabilizing her vehicle, trying to find a break. But Jiqi and Baize coordinated too seamlessly—one blocking the road ahead, the other relentlessly pursuing from behind, like two nets gradually closing in, trapping him.
Everything happening here was recorded by cameras, with multiple split screens faithfully broadcasting this mad chase.
The young lords and ladies invited to watch the race were terrified.
They had come to watch exciting racing, but this was practically a real-life deadly pursuit—yet what could they do? They pulled out their phones to call the police, but what would they say?
Hello, police? Someone's racing and crashing into people on the track—isn't that just asking for trouble?
Wang Tu was as pale as if he'd seen a ghost, not knowing what to do.
He sent someone to intercept, but the racer behind him grimaced and said, "Brother Wang, at this speed anyone who goes up is just seeking death—even if they aren't hit, they'll fall off the cliff and die."
They're just enjoying the thrill of danger, not really wanting to die!
Wang Tu, trembling with fear, looked at Jin Chen still staring at the screen: "Brother Jin…"
Jin Chen stood up, finally picking up the nearby walkie-talkie: "Watch the scene—no one may leave or move about at will. Confiscate all photo and video equipment; return it after the investigation."
"Yes."
"Have the people ambushed on the mountain been caught?"
"Caught them—eight in total, all armed."
"Very good." Jin Chen stared at the screen, watching the three motorcycles tangled on the mountain road: "Take the cable car up the mountain and wait for them at the finish line."
Wang Tu: "……" What the hell are you guys up to!?
