Chapter 51 - Being Willful Occasionally
"Am I able to persuade her?"
Indeed, she wasn't able to persuade her, but… something's amiss. Why did he feel that Yan Jinyun's attitude towards Jinyu was a little strange?
What was so strange about it?
Forget it. Now was not the time to think about this. Did Jinyu know how dangerous racing was? Moreover, the other party was obviously up to no good!
If anything happened…
As he thought about it, Feng Yuan felt anxious again. Seeing that Yan Jinyu had already made up her mind, he sighed heavily and leaned over to ask Yan Jinyun softly, "Jinyu… knows how to drive, right?" His voice was really very low. He was afraid that Yan Jinyu would be sad when she heard it and recalled her experiences all these years.
"Most probably."
"…" Feng Yuan. What do you mean most probably? You're not even sure about your feelings? But you clearly aren't sure, yet you still follow her with a straight face. Are you disregarding your life?
Didn't Yan Jinyun always cherish her life? When did she become so unafraid of death?
Feng Yuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He knew that he couldn't influence Yan Jinyu's decision at all, so he could only get the attendant to drive his exclusive car over unwillingly.
At this point, he could only pray that nothing bad would happen. He could only check the car a few more times and make sure there weren't any problems in the car.

"Don't make any sound to affect my performance later!"
Zhao Yue—who had just sat in the front passenger seat and was about to buckle her seatbelt—paused when she heard this. A hint of anger flashed past her eyes, but she didn't show it on her face. "Miss Qiu, don't worry. I won't affect you. However, Miss Qiu, you have to pay more attention later. You just have to seek stability. Based on the information that our Zhao Family found out, Yan Jinyu didn't even have the chance to touch a car all these years. It's already good enough that she could start the car. It's impossible for her to defeat you."
"Hmph! Do you think that I don't know about this? Why do you have to talk so much!"
Zhao Yue's facial features were twisted.
"Hold on tight. If you bump into anything, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Zhao Yue buckled her seatbelt, wishing she could break it apart, "Miss Qiu, don't worry. This isn't the first time I'm racing with someone!" Her voice sounded like she was gritting her teeth, but Zhao Yue didn't dare to show it too obviously.
She did not dare to offend Qiu Jian.
Qiu Jian glanced at her disdainfully and then fumbled around in the car. "Tsk! Luo Yikun even said that this is the best car in the entire underground racing arena. I think it's only so-so. It's far worse than what I've encountered in the past! North City is indeed a small place. It can't even compare to the capital!"
Zhao Yue sneered inwardly.
She didn't forget to trample on North City. If North City was really that bad, would someone like Master Nine come to develop in North City?
Although Master Nine's businesses were all over the country and had even left the country long ago, it was undeniable that Master Nine's base camp was in North City. Otherwise, Master Nine would not have settled in North City for the past few years.
However, it was true that North City could not compare to the capital.
However, being inferior was one thing. Qiu Jian's actions of not forgetting to insult North City were really annoying.
No matter how good the capital was, no matter how capable the people in the capital were, what did it have to do with Qiu Jian? She was only one of the countless people in the capital. Those who were truly accomplished might not look down on others like her. What was she?
No matter how unhappy Zhao Yue was, she didn't dare to show it on her face. She could only suppress her anger and continue listening to Qiu Jian criticize the race.
On the other side, Yan Jinyu was sitting in the car that Feng Yuan had checked countless times. She pulled her seatbelt over and buckled it. She smiled and looked at Yan Jinyun, who was also sitting in the front passenger seat, "Aren't you not afraid to join me?"
Yan Jinyun rolled her eyes secretly, "Don't you think it's too late to ask this now? Besides, aren't you in the car too? I don't think you're someone who wants to die."
"Indeed, I'm not." Not only that, she also cherished her life. Otherwise, she wouldn't have continued living and never thought of ending her life after destroying Ghost Slaughter Island. Instead, she was constantly finding a reason for her to go on living.
Her life was something that she had painstakingly got back from the brink of death countless times. She had already narrowly escaped death when she met the kidnappers at two years old.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"What do you think?" Yan Jinyu smiled and asked.
Yan Jinyun stared at her and retracted her gaze, "Up to you. It's fine as long as you don't go overboard. There's only one son and one daughter in the younger generation of the Qiu Family in the capital. Qiu Jian is very favored by the Qiu family. If anything happens to her in North City, there will be quite a lot of trouble."
"What are you thinking? Killing is illegal. You don't think I have the guts to kill someone, do you?"
Yan Jinyun simply didn't want to talk to her. She would believe her before she saw her act out. Now, she only wanted to reply with two words.
Ha ha.
Of course, Yan Jinyu knew that she didn't believe it, but she didn't intend to let her believe it either. Because it was just a joke.
"Don't worry. Murder is against the law. Even if I wanted to kill her, I wouldn't do it in public." She even chuckled.
"…" Yan Jinyun.
"I'm curious. Why would you want to invite me along?"
When Yan Jinyu heard that, she raised her head and looked at her but she didn't answer her directly. She only smiled and said, "We're about to set off. Buckle up."
Why did she call Yan Jinyun along?
Of course, it was because not everyone had the chance to sit in the number one killer "Chi"'s car. She still remembered one time when she was avoiding being hunted by the other party after completing a mission, Mei Mei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had been frightened.
Meimei was a killer who was only second to her in the killer rankings. Even Meimei was frightened, so it could be seen that her "fast" car was indeed a little different.
Later on, Meimei even said that if a timid person could survive in her car once, their courage would definitely soar to the next level.
Yan Jinyun was the successor of the Yan Family. The empire that her grandfather had conquered would be handed to her in the future. How could she be so timid? Since she had the chance to train Yan Jinyun's courage, she naturally wouldn't waste it. She would just treat it as returning the favor to her grandparents who had looked for her for so many years without giving up.
If Yan Jinyun knew what she was thinking, she would definitely give her a few more "ha ha".
However, if the three people who were familiar with Yan Jinyu knew what she was doing now, they would definitely know that she was playing a prank.
However, even if they knew, any of the three people would definitely not stop her if they were here. This was because they knew better than anyone else how difficult it was to make Yan Jinyu to play a prank.
Although the Yan Jinyu they saw often had a faint smile on her face and looked very innocent, they knew very well how Yan Jinyu did things.
She could kill without blinking.
Even though she would habitually drink a few cans of yogurt after every fight.
Most of the time, they couldn't see her being a seventeen-year-old girl, so they were happy to see her being willful occasionally.
However, no matter what, although Yan Jinyu was a little playful now, her intention to nurture Yan Jinyun's courage was real.
Yan Jinyu started the car and drove to the starting point of the track.
Xu Gui was standing in the best spot and closest to the live broadcast screen. Looking at the two cars that were side by side, he said, "Yuan, looks like Eldest Miss Yan can drive. I'm relieved."
Feng Yuan glanced at Xu Gui's hand that was still holding tightly onto the railing. He was initially blaming him for being unable to control his temper and calling him to make Jinyu come here to take risks, but now, his anger had dissipated
Forget it. Xu Gui did not have any bad intentions.
"It's just a car. Who doesn't know how to drive? But it's not like she knows how to race. Cousin, you've relaxed too early. Yuan, you know that Eldest Miss Yan is fooling around, but you still agreed to lend her the car. How much money will you lose if the car crashes on the way?"
As soon as Xu Xiaoxiao said this, everyone in the stands, including Luo Yikun—who was looking at the two cars at the starting point with mixed emotions—retracted his gaze and looked at her.
Xu Gui looked at her in disbelief. After a while, he blushed and scolded, "Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about!"
Yuan's car was indeed worth a lot of money, but there were two people sitting in the car! Perhaps, in her opinion, their safety was not as important as a car? Not to mention that the two ladies in the car were from the number one family in North City. Even if they were two ordinary people, Xu Xiaoxiao should not have said that.
Whenever he was reminded that the person who said this was his cousin, Xu Gui could not even look up. He especially did not dare to look at Feng Yuan's current expression.
No one knew better than him how much Yuan valued Yan Jinyu, his cousin… No, it should be said that no one knew better than him how important the Yan sisters were to Yuan.
Yes, both sisters. Perhaps even Yuan himself did not know that Yan Jinyun was different from others to him. Otherwise, with Yuan's gentle personality, how could he have kept bickering with a girl and even fought with her for so many years?
However, since Yuan did not realize it, he could not expose it.
Feng Yuan's expression was indeed not very nice. His fists clenched and relaxed. If the person who said this was a boy, he would have already swung his fist over.
After Xu Gui's reprimand and seeing everyone's reaction, especially Feng Yuan's ugly expression, Xu Xiaoxiao finally realized that she had said something wrong.
She didn't dare to meet Feng Yuan's gaze, "B-Brother Yuan, I…"
