Chapter 655: A Big Gamble

Murong Qiao finally agreed to the invitation for the racing competition.
She didn’t know how much of a butterfly effect her revival had on the people around her and the entire world, but if she let Tang Huai, who was now her Big Brother, face such a tragic death…
The racing competition was scheduled for Saturday.
After Huo Yichen found out about this, he went with Murong Qiao.
Most of the people who played racing were rich second-generation heirs and professional drivers nurtured by clubs. Although those who liked to watch extreme sports might not be bad people, the environment inevitably made Huo Yichen a little worried about Murong Qiao going alone.
On Saturday, Huo Yichen personally drove to the designated place on the competition ticket with Murong Qiao. After showing his ticket, he was welcomed in by the staff.
The competition venue this time was outdoors, and the racing track was in the center of the entire venue. A few of the extreme bends were especially eye-catching. Even when Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen entered the venue, they could vaguely hear the hum of the racing track.
“Overtake him! Overtake him!”
“Press him at the bend—”
“There’s only one lap left. It’s the last lap!!!”
Countless excited voices entered the venue and rushed into Murong Qiao’s ears. There were even many spectators around her. They stood up excitedly and waved at the racing cars in the arena, shouting something.
When the car in front passed the finish line, the cheers around her even made Murong Qiao feel a deafening feeling.
Beside her, Huo Yichen reached out and covered her ears, making Murong Qiao feel much better.
The tickets Tang Huai gave them were naturally the best seats for viewing. According to the designated route, Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen sat in the front row.
Not only was there a big screen in the front row, but it was also very close to the track. One could really feel what speed and passion were at close range. However, after walking to the position mentioned on their tickets, Murong Qiao saw a few familiar people.
Jiang Weiyang and Cheng Jie were sitting together not far away. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but she also saw the girl who was pestering Shen Xi. Her name seemed to be Xin Qingxue.
When the two of them walked over, they happened to hear the people around them discussing the next match.
Who do you think will win the next match?”
“Number 4 driver. I’ve always thought highly of him. He’s also one of the dark horses this time. It won’t be wrong to bet on him.”
“But I’ve already bet everything I have on Number 8.”
“Number 8’s results have always been unstable. Isn’t betting on him the same as gambling? Come on, listen to me.”
-It’s good to bet on Number 8. At least he didn’t bet on Number to. At the very least, he might win if he bet on Number 8. If he bet on Number to, he might really lose everything.”
Number 10’s standard is really unstable…”
The conversation of the surrounding people fell into Murong Qiao’s ears and attracted her attention.
At this moment, the information of the next competition and the list of participants appeared on the big screen in front for everyone to see.
“Number 10 Driver… Tang Huai.” Murong Qiao saw the familiar name at a glance.
Hearing her words, Huo Yichen glanced over. “Do you know him?”
“Yes, he’s kind of a cousin. We met once at the charity auction.” Murong Qiao briefly explained how the two of them met.
After the competition information was announced for a period of time, the big screen cut into the scene of the bet right on the heels of the match.
Among them, Number Four had especially many people betting on him, but there were almost no people on Tang Huai’s side.
Seeing this result, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but frown.
Although she didn’t know the specific rules of racing and how strong Tang Huai was, she recalled the news she had seen in her previous life. Tang Huai was naturally quite strong to be able to enter the Rapid Mountain Race.
Looking at the ridiculously high odds behind Tang Huai, everyone tacitly avoided this choice. Then, they looked at the other drivers and considered where they should spend their money.
Murong Qiao suddenly had a plan and pulled Huo Yichen’s hand to attract his attention.
“Let’s go and join in the fun.”
Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen down and bumped into Jiang Weiyang and Cheng Jie, who were also betting there.
“You… long time no see.” Jiang Weiyang also saw Murong Qiao immediately. Then, her gaze swept across the two of them holding hands, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
Cheng Jie was also at the side. “I didn’t expect to see Young Miss Murong and Mr. Huo here.”
Compared to before, Cheng Jie looked more gentle and refined now. His gaze was restrained and polite, and his face showed more respect.
Who asked things to be different now? He was still the young master of the Cheng Family, but Huo Yichen had already become the President of the Huo Corporation. A casual word could decide his life and death.
And his desire for Murong Qiao had disappeared at this moment. It was deeply buried in the depths of Cheng Jie’s heart, and he didn’t dare to have any more delusions.
On the other hand, Jiang Weiyang looked at Huo Yichen’s handsome and refined appearance and was tempted.
Huo Yichen greeted them simply. His gaze only shifted for a moment before returning to Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao was standing in front of the betting table and looking at the rules written beside her without saying anything.
Seeing that Murong Qiao was interested in betting, Jiang Weiyang took the initiative to speak.
“Young Miss Murong, are you here to play too?”
Jiang Weiyang looked at her and pointed at the position of Number 4. “If you don’t know anything, why don’t you make a small bet on this? You might make a bit of profit.”
These words sounded like good intentions, but when they came out of Jiang Weiyang’s mouth, they carried an indescribable mockery. It was as if she didn’t know anything and had the cheek to come over to watch the competition.
“You know cars very well?” Murong Qiao turned to look at her.
She shook her head and pointed at Cheng Jie beside her. “I naturally don’t know as much as Cheng Jie.”
“This competition concerns the qualifications to enter the Rapid Mountain
Race. Number 4 is publicly recognized as a dark horse.”
Cheng Jie spoke. It was obvious that he had also bet on Number 4.
When Murong Qiao heard the qualifications for the competition, she asked something unrelated, “You’re saying that the champion this time can obtain the qualifications to go to the Rapid Mountain?”
“Yes, there’s only one competition in the country now.” Cheng Jie didn’t understand why she asked this, but because Huo Yichen was staring at him, he still answered honestly.
After hearing this, Murong Qiao immediately had no worries and bet 5 million on Number 10.
“Number 10 is the least promising one here.” Seeing Murong Qiao’s actions,
Cheng Jie frowned in disapproval.
Seeing that Murong Qiao didn’t listen to his suggestion, Jiang Weiyang thought that she was doing this on purpose and immediately sneered. “Young Miss Murong didn’t spend 5 million to make ducks and drakes of money just to go against me, right?”
-Then you think too highly of yourself,” Murong Qiao replied indifferently, making Jiang Weiyang choke.
Cheng Jie still wanted to say something. “There are still two minutes before it starts, you can still withdraw your decision.”
“No matter what, Number 10 is not a good choice…”
The conversation here also attracted the gazes of a few customers who had placed their bets. Then, when they learned from Cheng Jie that Murong Qiao had bet 5 million on Number 10, they couldn’t help but laugh..
