184 Bend of Death
The two cars soon arrived at the starting line of the racetrack. Unlike from a distance, the mountain track looked high up in the clouds up close. The turns also looked treacherous, with the danger of falling off the cliff at any time.
Although the track was lit, the trees that were all around them looked dark and a little scary.
“Be careful,” Qiao Jing said.
“Will do,” Qiao Yue smiled.
She had participated in similar underground racing when she was abroad. At that time, it was a territory fight between two gangs. Her opponents were desperadoes trying to expand the local red-light district and their illegal businesses abusing women.

To protect safety of the neighborhood, Qiao Yue drove at 180 miles per hour during the race, leaving the cars behind to sigh at her exhaust.
At the finish line, due to the overused tires, she almost became scraps with the car. Luckily, she managed to jump out at the last second before the car exploded.
Since then, she became a legend in local underground racing.
Although Qiao Yue had never driven on Qiao Ze’s refurbished track, she had seen the topographic map.
She had a good memory and computational power. Even if she had not travelled the road before, she could predict the speed at which she could safely pass each curve.
The two cars got on the track at the same time. There were four lanes on this track, so four cars were allowed to race at any one time.
Qiao Ze and Qiao Yue’s cars occupied the two middle lanes.
The two cars were almost on the same level, and it was hard to tell whose was better.
“It looks like this race is going to be a draw,” Qiao Jing said.
Qiao Yue smiled and looked at the mountain road in front of her with squinted eyes. “Not necessarily. This is just the beginning.”
“Why the sudden competition?” Qiao Jing asked, frowning.
“Because third brother has a secret he hasn’t told me.”
“A secret?” Qiao Jing frowned. He was a little uncomfortable when he heard this. When did Qiao Yue and Qiao Ze become so close that she even had to know Qiao Ze’s secret?
“I also have a secret that I haven’t told you,” Qiao Jing said unhurriedly.
Qiao Yue burst into laughter. Why did Qiao Jing’s words sound so childish? “If you’d like to, we can also have a race.”
There was a sharp turn in front. Qiao Yue didn’t turn the steering wheel. Instead, she drove straight, and in front of them was a cliff.
“Be careful!”
When the front of the car was about to touch the guardrail at the edge of the cliff, Qiao Yue turned the steering wheel and steered the car in the right direction. She then stepped on the gas and the car sped forward, overtaking Qiao Ze’s by half a car.
“Second brother, I’ve already said that this is just the beginning.”
An hour ago…
YQ sent the information about Jin Lu and her sister to Qiao Yue. Jin Lu’s sister was last seen at a KTV. YQ had hacked into the KTV’s systems and saw the surveillance footage from that day.
The girl named Jin Yan didn’t come out of the private room they were in. Instead, a few people came out of the room with a huge gunny sack and left through the back door.
If he guessed right, it should be Jin Yan in that gunny sack.
Not long after, Qiao Ze brought his men to the KTV and seemed to have said something to the host in the private room.
The KTV was Qiao Ze’s property. fr(e)ewebnovel
A place like a KTV had always been a breeding ground for all kinds of illegal activities. However, it’s very difficult to do anything illegal here without permission from the KTV staff.
Qiao Ze must have known about Jin Yan, but why did he acquiesce to this kind of behavior?
He had just said a few days ago that he would not get involved in his father’s illegal activities. In the blink of an eye, he seemed to be breaking the law on his own property.
Qiao Yue maintained her speed that was one car ahead of Qiao Ze.
Qiao Ze rolled down his car window. Qiao Jing saw it and did the same.
The mountain breeze came in and blew Qiao Yue’s bangs, revealing her bright eyes.
Qiao Jing stared at her in a daze, feeling a little awkward as he related the moment to the hug that Qiao Yue pushed away yesterday. fr eewebn ovel.com
“Not bad, fifth brother. However, I’m going to overtake you soon.”
Qiao Ze’s voice was heard, in his usual rebellious tone.
