Chapter 37: Can't Afford to Lose

When Wang Tengfei heard this, he was so excited he couldn't hold it in.

His car was a 540, and Ye Chen’s car was a 520. Even if he worked himself to death, he couldn't possibly win.

To think he would dare to bet so big with him!

If thirty thousand firecrackers were set off inside the car, the car would be ruined. Basically, the interior, seats, and dashboard would be blown to a mess.

Since Ye Chen was courting death himself, it was truly a great opportunity to humiliate him!

Therefore, Wang Tengfei nodded almost without hesitation and shouted, "Everyone be a witness! I’m comparing with Ye Chen to see whose car is faster. Whoever loses has to put this plate of firecrackers in their car and set them off!"

After saying this, he added, "Whoever goes back on their word or plays dirty, may their whole family die!"

Several male classmates next to him immediately started to boo. The classmates upstairs heard about this and also swarmed out. Twenty or thirty people gathered at the entrance waiting to watch the show.

Everyone thought Ye Chen was an idiot. A 520 daring to challenge a 540? This was all a straight road. Who drove faster had little to do with skill and depended entirely on the performance of the car.

A 520, even if driven by Schumacher, couldn't possibly overtake a 540!

It seemed that Ye Chen’s brand-new BMW 520 was about to be declared scrapped!

Xiao Churan also kept trying to persuade Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, don't be provoked by him. He’s doing it on purpose. Let’s not compare with him."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, wife. Your husband will never lose."

Wang Tengfei laughed loudly, "Oh, Ye Chen, I have to admire your courage! Hahaha, since that’s the case, let’s stop talking nonsense and just drive and compare!"

"Alright." Ye Chen nodded and asked him, "How do you want to compare?"

Wang Tengfei pointed to the intersection at the end of the road and said, "We start at the same time, see who reaches that intersection first and then turns back. One trip there and back, whoever returns first wins. What do you say?"

Ye Chen laughed, "No problem!"

"Good!" Wang Tengfei said excitedly, "Everyone be a witness, we’ll start the race immediately!"

As he spoke, he climbed into his BMW 540 and drove onto the main road.

Ignoring Xiao Churan’s obstruction, Ye Chen drove his car next to Wang Tengfei’s, the fronts of the two cars aligned.

At this time, a nosy boy laughed, "I’ll count down for you guys!"

"Alright!" Wang Tengfei laughed, "Start when you’re ready!"

Ye Chen nodded and turned on the sports mode of his BMW 760.

The BMW 760 used a 6.6-liter displacement, 585-horsepower engine.

And the BMW 540 next to it used a 3.0-liter displacement, 340-horsepower engine.

The displacement was half that of the 760, and the power was also 245 horsepower less. It could be said to be a world of difference!

However, how could Wang Tengfei know that Ye Chen’s 520 was actually a top-tier 760? He still thought he had victory in his grasp.

The classmate in charge of the countdown shouted excitedly, "Ready! 3, 2, 1!"

Just as the words fell, Wang Tengfei immediately stepped on the accelerator to the floor!

He knew Ye Chen was doomed to lose, but he wanted Ye Chen to lose even more miserably!

Therefore, he had to run as fast as possible!

However, what he didn't expect was that on his right side, a black shadow rushed out rapidly, instantly leaving him behind and throwing him far away!

It was Ye Chen’s BMW 520!

Wang Tengfei almost couldn't believe his eyes!

Damn!

How is this possible!

This is absolutely impossible!

His BMW 520 only had 184 horsepower, while his own car had 340 horsepower, nearly double his! Why could he overtake him so easily!?!?

The classmates watching the show were also dumbfounded!

No one expected that Ye Chen, who everyone thought would definitely lose, would actually overtake Wang Tengfei instantly like an arrow off a bowstring, and leave him far behind in an instant!

Wang Tengfei hadn't even reached halfway, and Ye Chen had already turned around at the intersection at the end!

Just as Wang Tengfei was about to turn around, Ye Chen had already driven the car back to the starting point!

Ye Chen won!

And he won with an overwhelming advantage!

Wang Tengfei had just turned back and saw that Ye Chen had already reached the finish line. His whole person almost collapsed!

What’s going on!

What the hell is going on!

Since when could a BMW 520 overtake a BMW 540 by double?

No! This bastard must have modified his car!

Damn! Using a modified car to scam me? Damn it!

He gritted his teeth and drove the car back in front of everyone. Ye Chen was already clapping and celebrating his victory with Xiao Churan.

The surrounding classmates were all dumbfounded. To this day, they still couldn't figure out why Ye Chen’s 520 was so fast!

Wang Tengfei stopped the car, walked out angrily, and roared, "Damn, Ye Chen! You’re using a modified car to scam me, right? This round doesn't count! A modified car has so much more power than mine, how can we compare?"

Ye Chen sneered, "Hey, Wang Tengfei, you were the one who said power wasn't important just now, and that skill and courage were more important. Now that you’ve lost, you want to go back on your word?"

"I didn't!" A flash of panic crossed Wang Tengfei’s expression as he argued, "You scammed me, I’m not going back on my word!"

Dong Ruolin said with contempt, "Wang Tengfei, you’re really disgusting for not keeping your word! Don't forget the vicious oath you just made. Whoever doesn't keep their word, may their whole family die!"

"Exactly!" Many classmates who were originally waiting to see Ye Chen make a fool of himself were now dissatisfied with Wang Tengfei. It was clear that this person really couldn't afford to lose. He was such a grown man, yet he didn't dare to fulfill the bet he had started himself.

So someone spoke up, "Wang Tengfei, this is really meaningless. Everyone is a witness. You were the one who wanted to compare with Ye Chen, and you said power didn't matter, and that whoever lost would have their whole family die if they didn't fulfill the bet. Now you want to go back on your word. Isn't this clearly saying you’d rather have your whole family die than fulfill the bet?"

"Yeah!" A girl spoke up, "Wang Tengfei, everyone used to think you were very manly and kept your word, but I didn't expect you to be such a petty person who goes back on his word!"

Others said, "I finally understand what kind of person Wang Tengfei is! He’s a double-standard dog! If Ye Chen had lost, he definitely wouldn't have let Ye Chen off easily! Now that he’s lost, he starts playing the rogue. He’s really trash!"

Wang Tengfei’s face turned green and then white.

To tell the truth, he had bought this car less than a month ago, and it had cost him over seven hundred thousand in total.

If he really threw thirty thousand firecrackers in and set them off, the car would be ruined!

This was his beloved car! He didn't even allow a tiny scratch or dust on it usually, so how could he bear to throw firecrackers in and set them off?

However, so many classmates were watching him, and now he had clearly lost the support of the people. If he continued to insist on going back on his word, the classmates would definitely not associate with him anymore in the future.

They might even go around saying that he lost the bet and played the rogue, and that he would rather have his whole family die than fulfill the bet.

Thinking of this, his heart was already shaken.

If he didn't set off those firecrackers, his reputation would be destroyed!

At this time, Ye Chen suddenly spoke, "Wang Tengfei, we’re all classmates, let’s just joke around and not take it seriously. Your car is quite expensive. If you can't bear to set it off, then don't."

Wang Tengfei breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

However, the surrounding classmates immediately started discussing, "Oh! Ye Chen is still the one with the bigger heart. Look at Wang Tengfei, it’s really embarrassing!"

"Exactly! Ye Chen saw he couldn't afford to lose and gave him a way out!"

Wang Tengfei’s self-esteem suddenly exploded, and he cursed angrily, "Who the hell said I can't afford to lose? Give me the firecrackers! Since I can afford to bet, I can naturally afford to lose!"

At this moment, a smile of a conspiracy succeeding crossed the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth... ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
