Seeing the person they cared about unscathed, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Dahei grabbed the back of Monkey's neck with one hand and yelled in his face, "What are you yelling about in such a panic? Tell , what exactly happened?"
Monkey said aggrievedly, "Just when it was about to crash, the car in front suddenly swerved and dodged. The timing and movent of the evasive maneuver were so classic that I couldn't help but shout."
"And what about Han Wenbin's car?" Luo Shanshan imdiately asked.
Monkey said with schadenfreude, "What else could have happened? It flew off the track!"
Lin Jie drove across the finish line, greeted by cheers, whistles, and quite a few curses, obviously from those who lost money and blad their losses on him.
He pushed open the car door, and when Lin Jie's feet hit the ground, it felt like he was stepping on a sponge mat, his legs a bit weak.
At this mont, he felt his stomach churning violently, and an unbearable urge to vomit rushed to his head.
Disregarding his image, Lin Jie took off his helt and threw it aside, bending over to vomit.
The unrestrained laughter of Shen Lanruo echoed in his mind.
"Haha... Although you've absorbed enough knowledge and skills about racing, your body and your organs are still sowhat unaccustod to this high-speed movent and bumping!"
"No worries, just race a few more tis and you'll be fine!"
"I'm not going to race anymore; it's too damn dangerous!"
Lin Jie silently responded to Shen Lanruo, "I still need to perform surgery for my sister and for An Weize. I'm destined to beco a world-renowned surgeon."
"If there's any accident in racing and I injure my hands or sothing else, the loss would be huge."
Recalling the scene where he almost got hit just now, Lin Jie felt a chill down his spine, filled with a palpitating fear.
At that ti, his mind was basically blank, relying entirely on instinctive actions to control the race car, barely avoiding the crash.
Lin Jie couldn't guarantee that if faced with a similar situation again, he would be as lucky to dodge it.
"Coward!"
Shen Lanruo snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, "I've participated in more exciting races in the United States, and nothing ever happened! Instead, I got hit by a car while going to my regular job!"
"Sigh... Accidents happen everywhere, you can't avoid them just by trying to dodge them."
Shen Lanruo sighed, then suddenly said softly, "Now that I've vented, I've fulfilled a wish! You also have your own habits and persistence; I shouldn't impose my likes on you!"
"In the future, I'll try my best to control myself and not incite you to do things you're unwilling to do."
Lin Jie straightened up after emptying his stomach and saw Xiao Qi handing him a bottle of water, clicking her tongue as she said, "With such good racing skills, you managed to make yourself vomit!"
"It's the first ti I've seen a racer like you; it's really an eye-opener for ."
Lin Jie ignored Xiao Qi's teasing, took the water to rinse his mouth, drank half the bottle, and felt a little better.
"Let's go, I'll help you take off these clunky, thick clothes and then take a shower."
After changing into dry clothes and erging from the shower room, Lin Jie saw Luo Shanshan and Dahei, full of smiles, waiting outside.
"How are Han Wenbin and that foreign girl in the car?"
Dahei, indignant, said, "They're fine, both only got minor scrapes! It's really a case of evil lives forever; why didn't the heavens just snap his neck?"
"Don't say useless things like that. If soone had really died here, we'd be in trouble too."
Luo Shanshan scolded Dahei, then turned her gaze to Lin Jie, smiling as she said, "You're really sothing, seems like I have a good eye."
"When Han Wenbin and his cronies left dejectedly, he asked to tell you he's truly rembered you this ti."
"Rembering doesn't an much, what's he going to do about it?"
Dahei interjected with disdain, "This bastard was trying to cause a crash deliberately. In my opinion, he should have his legs broken for a morable lesson."
"Lin Jie, you don't need to fear him rembering you at all! If Han Wenbin dares to target you in the future, I'll show him why flowers are so red."
Lin Jie smiled lightly at Dahei as a response, but he knew his understanding of "rember you" was definitely different from Dahei's.
At this mont, Xiao Qi ca over with a black plastic bag filled with various items and handed it to Dahei.
Dahei then passed the black plastic bag to Lin Jie, smiling as he said, "This is your share of the winnings. You're one of us, so we won't take the designated cut."
Lin Jie hefted it, feeling it was quite heavy!
He knew it contained at least two hundred thousand in cash, plus the conditions Luo Shanshan promised beforehand, making this a rather fruitful haul.
Lin Jie couldn't help but look at Xiao Qi, but she didn't et his gaze, occasionally glancing elsewhere, indicating that her promises weren't reliable at all.
Luo Shanshan had a surgery to attend to early the next day, so she left with Lin Jie to return to the city.
This ti, Lin Jie was driving.
Shortly after the car hit the road, Luo Shanshan spoke, "Lin Jie, what do you think of this little car of mine?"
"Responsive handling, powerful, stable chassis, pretty good!" Lin Jie evaluated truthfully.
Luo Shanshan nodded and said, "I bought this car three years ago, and with all the paperwork it was four hundred and ten thousand, then I had it remodeled."
"I'm offering you this car for three hundred thousand, and I'll make up the balance of two hundred thousand, how about it?"
Lin Jie liked the car quite a bit, but...
"Shanshan, this car is red, not really my style. And only ten thousand depreciated after three years..."
Luo Shanshan got angry right away, shouting, "Lin Jie, this car was upgraded by a professional; just the modification costs are thirty thousand! I didn't even add that to the price, and you have the gall to haggle?"
Lin Jie smiled sheepishly, saying, "I've always lived frugally, and haggling is a habit. Shanshan, if you give this car, what will you drive?"
"Two months ago, on my birthday, my dad gave a car as a birthday gift. I just thought it was too flashy for going in and out of the hospital, so I haven't driven it yet."
Luo Shanshan said with a hum, "I won't be in that lousy hospital much longer; why should I hold back? If I want to flaunt, I'll flaunt it and make them envious!"
Lin Jie let out an "Oh," saying sowhat embarrassedly, "Since you have a new car, Shanshan, I'll gladly accept this one, thank you!"
Luo Shanshan simply waved her hand, saying, "No need to thank ; this was a condition we agreed on before. It's what you deserve. I'll have Dahei take care of the transfer procedures, so you don't have to worry about anything else."
"Hey, speaking of birthdays, isn't your birthday coming up in a few days?"
"My sister and I don't celebrate birthdays," Lin Jie replied flatly.
Luo Shanshan imdiately thought of Lin Jie's background, understanding that her words had touched on a sensitive topic, so she said no more.
