Because Gu Ran has the Sharingan, his decision-making when cornering is bolder and more extreme.
After exiting the bend and onto the straightaway, Gu Ran floored the accelerator once again, and the speed soared to 350 kilometers per hour. Here, Gu Ran's car once again outperformed everyone else.
Therefore, Gu Ran and Lin Shengquan were now one second apart again, which cast a shadow over Lin Shengquan's heart once more.
"It's okay, the race has only been going for a little over a minute, there's still a long way to go. The more aggressive and daring he drives, the more likely he is to make a mistake. I still have a chance." Lin Shengquan comforted himself like this, while continuing to step on the gas to accelerate.
The next crucial corner is called 'Fox Hole', which is the most terrifying corner on the Nürburgring because of its extremely high entry speed and the added elevation change.
Gu Ran made no mistakes or slowed down at this bend; in fact, he entered the bend at a speed of 290.
Lin Shengquan was very far behind Gu Ran, but he noticed that Gu Ran's trajectory was perfect, just like that of a veteran race car driver.
No, even seasoned racers can't beat him. He navigates corners with such ease, and his rhythm when entering and exiting corners is always perfect.
Is this really his first time driving the Nürburgring?
At this moment, Lin Shengquan realized that Gu Ran must have lied. Someone who was driving the Nürburgring for the first time could not possibly take the corner so easily.
There's no need to compete on the later roads; Gu Ran is already five seconds ahead of Lin Shengquan, so he can't lose no matter what.
On the final straight, Gu Ran once again reduced the car's weight to only 100 kilograms, then floored the accelerator, pushing the speed to its limit!
No one knows the exact speed, because the speedometer had already reached its limit, which was only 285 MPH (miles per hour, approximately 458 km/h).
But the current speed has clearly exceeded the limit, and the speed beyond that is unknown to the car, so Gu Ran is unaware of it either.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Xiaoqiang felt the surging power and shouted loudly and excitedly, "Ahhhhh!" until Gu Ran crossed the finish line and slowly slowed down. Only then did she gasp for breath, a "This is so much fun!" smile on her face.
Gu Ran then performed a drift, forcefully spinning the car twice to slow it down, before stopping it in an open area.
After Gu Ran had parked the car, about ten seconds later, Lin Shengquan drove the car across the finish line.
The outcome of this match was completely predictable; Gu Ran defeated Lin Shengquan with an overwhelming victory.
Gu Ran stretched and got out of the car. Then he opened the passenger door and helped Su Xiaoqiang out of the car as well.
Su Xiaoqiang felt a little dizzy because it was so exciting. She had been sitting in the passenger seat drifting with Gu Ran the whole way, and her brain had been shaken to its limit.
So as soon as she stepped out of the car, she involuntarily fell into Gu Ran's arms and hugged him tightly.
Gu Ran smiled, hugged her while massaging her head, and used a little palm magic to help her recover quickly.
Su Xiaoqiang quickly recovered her spirits, but wanted to stay in his arms for a while longer, so she didn't move.
"I suddenly realized that driving and being a passenger are not the same thing. I never want to sit in the passenger seat again if you speed," Su Xiaoqiang said coquettishly.
"Okay, we won everything tonight. Let's go collect our prize money." Gu Ran patted her pert bottom and took her hand as they walked towards Lin Shengquan.
At this moment, Lin Shengquan got out of the car with a gloomy face, surrounded by his twelve henchmen.
He truly never imagined that he would lose in the racing event he was so proud of.
Moreover, he lost completely, unable to catch up with his opponent from beginning to end.
But even if he loses the race, it won't matter, because Lin Shengquan had already prepared for the worst. Therefore, he booked the entire track and kicked out all the staff.
He has the most people here now, and he dominates this place.
"Thirteen people, that number is really unlucky," Su Xiaoqiang muttered under her breath.
The Last Supper in the Bible had thirteen people.
"This is their last supper; it's just bad luck for them," Gu Ran said with a smile as he stepped forward.
After Lin Shengquan got out of the car, he gave a wink to his underlings, who immediately and quietly dispersed, forming a three-sided fan-shaped formation around Gu Ran.
Gu Ran wasn't nervous at all; she just kept smiling.
Lin Shengquan remained silent, but looking at Gu Ran's composed demeanor, he had a bad feeling.
But he was still somewhat angry, believing that Gu Ran was pretending to be weak while actually knowing the track well, but acting as if it was his first time running it.
So he sarcastically remarked, "Young Master Gu is really low-key. I didn't expect you to be so familiar with this track."
"This was really my first time running, but I just reacted quickly, believe it or not."
Gu Ran walked to within five meters of Lin Shengquan, then threw a card at Lin Shengquan's feet:
"This is my Citibank card number. You embezzled the Su family's money. Our accounting results show that it is $80 million. At the same time, you still owe us $100 million as a prize. We hope Mr. Lin can pay it in full."
"What if I don't keep my promise?" Lin Shengquan then resorted to shamelessness, showing no politeness whatsoever. "Mr. Gu, sometimes, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy."
"Ah, are you even worthy to be my enemy?"
Chapter 574 A Not-So-Clever Little Brain
Hearing Lin Quansheng's words, Gu Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Enemy? You? You don't deserve the title. Do you even know what my enemies are like?"
“The Su family is a large and powerful family, so losing a few tens of millions won’t have much of an impact. This 80 million… consider it as money to save Young Master Gu and Miss Su’s lives. What do you think?” Lin Shengquan’s figure was backlit by the campfire, and at this moment he revealed his ferocious face.
Furthermore, he also glanced greedily at Su Xiaoqiang, only now realizing that this Miss Su was actually so beautiful in both figure and appearance.
"No good." Gu Ran flatly refused his request. "Give me the money now, or I'll die."
"Hahahaha!" Lin Shengquan laughed loudly when he saw Gu Ran surrounded by twelve people, yet still bluffing. "Young Master Gu, I didn't expect you to be so clueless about the current situation! From the moment you two arrived here, you entered our territory. It's obvious that I'm in charge here. Haven't you realized that yet?"
Gu Ran shook his head: "You're the one who doesn't understand the situation. You dare to touch me, didn't you think about the consequences?"
"Consequences?" Lin Shengquan stared wide-eyed, gave a sinister smile, and then reached to the side, seemingly asking his subordinates for something.
His subordinate then handed him a plastic bag, and it was clear that the contents of the bag were round.
Lin Shengquan opened the plastic bag, revealing the round object inside, and then gently tossed it to Gu Ran's feet.
The round, spherical object rolled on the ground, and in the firelight, both Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang could see it.
It is a human head.
It was the head of the Mafia leader that Gu Ran encountered on the beach in Marseille a few days ago.
Su Xiaoqiang frowned slightly. She wasn't afraid of seeing the human head, but she felt a little disgusted.
Gu Ran was a little confused: "Why did you kill him?"
After giving Gu Ran money to save his life, this person let him go, but he was actually killed by Lin Shengquan.
Gu Ran was completely bewildered and couldn't understand Lin Shengquan's logic.
“Isn’t he the Mafia you’re relying on? I killed him and wiped out his family. His family wasn’t anything special; they just sold olive oil and didn’t have any real power.” Lin Shengquan looked at Gu Ran and said, “In other words, you didn’t really have any backing in Europe. You just happened to know someone from this family and intimidated Richard and his men.”
"Huh?" Gu Ran was stunned. "How did you come to that conclusion?"
“It was my boss who said that this Mafia family codenamed '17' is nothing special,” Lin Shengquan said. “So the reason you came here alone is because you couldn’t contact this force. I’ve already wiped out this family, and you have no other power to rely on. Otherwise, you would have sent a group of people to protect you when you came here for the meeting. Otherwise, why would two students like you bite the bullet and come in alone to negotiate?”
"Hahahaha!" Gu Ran rubbed his forehead. "I really admire your not-so-bright little brain. How could you get a wrong answer from a bunch of correct ones?"
"Don't you know that he gave me a million dollars to get my forgiveness?" Gu Ran asked Lin Shengquan.
“I know, you must be acting. People with real power kill directly. They don’t talk about buying lives with money. You only ask for money because you don’t have enough power. You’re just using someone else’s power to intimidate people,” Lin Shengquan said menacingly.
"Sigh!" Gu Ran sighed, looking at the mafia member on the ground, "I never thought that even though I don't like killing, you would still die."
To be honest, the mafia member didn't do anything to him, and after calling Caesar, he immediately apologized and humbled himself. He transferred the money to Caesar's account the next morning, so Gu Ran had no intention of causing trouble for this person.
As a result, he was silenced by Lin Shengquan.
"There are some people I can kill, but you can't. You don't even understand such a simple truth," Gu Ran laughed. "Is your naive little head filled with shit?"
"You..." Lin Shengquan's veins bulged as he heard Gu Ran's mockery. He said to his henchmen, "Go! Kill the men, leave the women here so we can have some fun with them before killing them!"
Gu Ran stood still, but pulled Su Xiaoqiang behind him.
Su Xiaoqiang moved up behind Gu Ran and suddenly noticed two handguns in holsters in the back of his pants.
So she reached out and touched the holster, her hand already touching the grip of the gun.
"You want to play?" Gu Ran smiled. "Frigga is on the left."
Su Xiaoqiang understood what he meant, so she took the Glock that Frigga used.
Lin Shengquan couldn't understand, but he was surprised that Gu Ran could still laugh, and he didn't know why.
Fearing things might get complicated if he delayed, he immediately said, "Let's do it!"
But before he could even speak, Su Xiaoqiang had already drawn his pistol, using Gu Ran's body as cover, and started firing at the people around them.
The moment the gun went off, Lin Shengquan finally realized that these two men were armed; no wonder they dared to come in alone.
Su Xiaoqiang fired quickly, firing four bullets in one second, hitting the four nearest people.
"Wow, you actually used your husband as a cover, that's so mean!" Gu Ran exclaimed with a laugh.
Su Xiaoqiang just smiled; she had just turned her gun and fired at the people on the other side.
But the people around seemed very afraid of guns, so the moment the gun went off, several people retreated and instinctively sought cover.
Even gangsters are just doing a job; who would really risk their life for them?
But some didn't leave, because five of the twelve people were carrying handguns, so these five people simultaneously reached behind their clothes to draw their guns.
In their view, Su Xiaoqiang only had one gun, while they had five, so it was clear that they had the advantage!
However, just as they were about to draw their guns, they suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Ran's eyes out of the corner of their eye, and in that instant, they found themselves unable to move.
They were desperately trying to move their bodies, but it was as if they were possessed by a ghost, and they just couldn't move. This strange phenomenon terrified them.
With the Rinnegan and hypnosis, they were instantly frozen in place.
Just then, Su Xiaoqiang saw the five stationary targets, immediately turned his gun around, and fired five shots, all of which hit their targets.
After being shot, all five men collapsed.
At this moment, only four people remained standing. Gu Ran's Glock was equipped with a tactical red dot sight, so Su Xiaoqiang aimed for a while and fired at the person hiding behind a tree not far away, hitting the person directly in the calf!
Because of the anesthetic effect of Frigga's bullet, he fell into a deep sleep.
Others simply assumed he was dead.
Two other people were too afraid to come out and stayed hidden in the bunker.
Gu Ran was preparing Wind Release: Wind Blade. This A-rank ninjutsu was silent and stealthy. He gently launched it, using chakra threads to control the wind blade to curve in flight, easily hitting the two people hiding in the cover.
The two men cried out in pain and stood up at the same time. Seeing this, Su Xiaoqiang immediately raised his hand and fired two shots at the same time, both hitting their targets. The two men fell down immediately.
"Wow! Such accurate marksmanship!" Gu Ran applauded Su Xiaoqiang from the side.
