Chapter 82 - There's Always Someone Better

Shi Lei didn't know that the people in the other cars heard his conversation with Wu Haoyuan clearly.
Wei Qing had prepared an intercom on his Maserati beforehand. He tampered with it so that it was on call throughout the whole time. In other words, anything Shi Lei said next to the car could be heard by those in the other cars and even if they communicated through it, Shi Lei wouldn't be able to hear it.
Before, they thought that it was entertaining so they watched the fun on the side as the more arrogant and ignorant Wu Haoyun was, the harder he will fall later. Except, they did not expect Sun Yiyi to jump out, which changed the situation quickly and they barely had any time for reaction.
Now that Shi Lei howled at them, Wei Qing wasn't in a hurry either. If it was already like this, there was no point rushing these 2 or 3 minutes.
He gestured the Acura to go first as it was just a little over 3 million. He said: "I'll go last. You guys go in the order of price!"
Then, the Acura accelerated and dashed around the corner, appearing in front of Wu Haoyuan and his team.
Being different from Shi Lei, although Wu Haoyuan and the others' families wouldn't buy overly luxurious sportscars, but how could they not recognise the brand?
Although Acura was not amongst the popular brands, but its appearance immediately caught their attention. They knew Shi Lei also brought this car after it stopped next to him and they became anxious.
Shi Lei said 'you guys', and obviously this Acura could not compete against Aston Martin DB11, which meant that there were more coming.
Wu Haoyuan was entrapped with fury, although he was slightly surprised with the appearance of Acura, but his anger continued: "Acura? Finally over 3 million. But you wish to win against me just with this? Shi Lei, I'll make sure you know why the flower is red(1)."
Shi Lei ignored him, but the person who sat inside the car rolled down the window and spoke up: "Shi Shao said he wanted to have some fun, and it had to be sportscars, otherwise, why wouldn't I drive my Mulsanne which I'm used to drive?"
Mulsanne was another model under Bentley. Except, it wasn't a sportscar and low configuration would cost 5 million.
Wu Haoyuan lost himself and immediately scorned: "Mulsanne? Then I would bring a Rolls-Royce! If words count I would drive my Gulfstream here! Hahaha……"
He thought that the people behind him would support him, but their mouths were as if glued together and none of them said anything. One of them even softly asked: "Chen Shao, why are you here?"
Chen Shao was surprised and glanced at that person. He had a brief thought but ignored him as he really couldn't remember who that person was. Wu Haoyuan also snapped back to reality. None of these people he invited were inferior to him. The person who spoke had an asset that was probably worth 3 or 5 times more than himself. Wu Haoyuan knew him for a long time yet he had never him address someone else as 'shao'.
Without time to think, another engine roared sounded from the distant. A fire red Ferrari dashed towards them without stopping next to Shi Lei, but rather, it went past Wu Haoyuan's group and stopped near the exit.
Wu Haoyuan was slightly shocked as he saw this car drive past him at the speed of lightning, but also secretly glad that it should be a joke and was not a car Shi Lei found. Except, after the car stopped, the driver rolled down the window and whistled towards them and Wu Haoyuan knew that he lost.
This Ferrari was a Ferrari F12 which valued more than 5 million, and exceeded 6 million with warranty and tax.
That was not the end. Another Aston Martin appeared, except it was a Vanquish which was over 6 million and was slightly more expensive than the Ferrari F12.
The Aston Martin circled around Wu Haoyuan once, and stopped slowly next to the DB11 which was also an Aston Martin, as if he was purposely trying to show off. As these two cars were parked together, Wu Haoyuan's blood was cold and his head was empty as he didn't know how it was possible for Shi Lei to organise these many cars to help him.
But, it was still not the end.
The sound of the engines continued and the Lamborghini which Wu Haoyuan talked about was displayed in front of everyone. A yellow light flashed and stopped next to the Ferrari, and the driver purposely stepped on the accelerator twice.
"Lamborghini Aventador, wouldn't this cost 7 or 8 million?" Someone behind Wu Haoyuan exclaimed in a low voice.
As the windows of the Lamborghini were rolled down, the person inside poked his head out and said modestly: "This is just the appetizer, the main dish is coming!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. An 8 million car was only an appetizer? And these people have recognised the person who drove the Lamborghini. He was the renowned young genius in Wu Dong city. Although he was born as a fuerdai, but after he took a billion from his family after graduating from university, now he had more than 10 billion under his name. They could only try to compete against him with all of their assets combined together.
With even more fierce roarings, an orange and black McLaren P1 with an extremely cool style and appearance appeared in front them. It was enough to blind them with its 12 million sale price.
Are you done yet? A 12 million car? And, P1 wasn't even considered as a limited edition and he had the guts to show it? Are you telling us to go die?
Wu Haoyuan was dead inside and he no longer had any thoughts of wanting to compete against Shi Lei, but he hoped that he could go back in time and he definitely wouldn't have provoked Shi Lei like an idiot.
It was far from the end. The Porsche 918 came out gloriously. This car seemed to be quite modest, except, he drove to the Porsche Boxster slowly, rolled down his window and said: "Yo, isn't this our little bro from the Porsche family?"
The person who drove the Porsche Boxster almost stepped on the accelerator and burn together with the bro from the 918.
Really? Really? Usually, people wouldn't even see cars worth over 10 million once a year, and now two appeared? Aren't you too shameless? Can you not slap our faces like this?
The six people Wu Haoyuan invited were all howling in grief. But the difference between them is that they wouldn't be harmed as much as they were not directly part of it, but Wu Haoyuan had the will to die. Whether competing against price or arrangements, even if he put all of the cars he had together, plus the 200 taxis like what Shi Lei said, it was barely on the same level as the last two cars.
But, despair was not that you are already standing on a cliff, but you also need a little push from someone behind you.
Wu Haoyuan thought that 2 cars at the 10 million level was definitely the end, but quickly, he knew what the real main dish was.
The sound was not loud. When the Koenigsegg appeared at the turn, its speed was as slow as the Chinese flag of the military inspection at Chang An street. Was it any faster than 20km/h? Aren't you scared that the petrol will all be burnt at this low speed?
"Koenigsegg?!"
The five people behind Wu Haoyuan all gasped in shock at the same time. They all turned around and drove away, hoping that they never knew Wu Haoyuan as a person.
Are you fucking crazy? Are you fucking dumb? His friend drove a Koenigsegg and you wanted to compete against that? Just fuck off as far as you can, don't lose our face too! No matter how many fast they were, they still wouldn't see the Koenigsegg's tail light due to its speed.
(1)Why the flower is red: a Chinese saying meaning that someone's ability/skill is not as great as yours and one wishes to defeat that person
