Chapter 64: The Proud Scholar x Elite Lawyer 22

Spring was in full bloom, and the sun shone brightly.

Spring is supposed to be a wonderful season, but Xie Qingjia, who had been through so much, couldn’t stand staying at home any longer. He felt like he was about to waste away.

He had been given a half-month vacation, and the first few days were spent entirely in bed. Later, when Oberon went to work, Xie took the opportunity to meet up with friends, refusing to stay cooped up at home any longer.

If he stayed in bed any longer, he’d be done for.

Xie Qingjia called up his friends and went out for a big meal. After eating, someone suggested going racing.

“Guys, the weather’s so nice today. It’d be a shame not to go racing.”

Tao Yi chimed in, “Xie, you haven’t been out for over half a year. Don’t you think it’s time for a race? I’ve been waiting to beat you at least once!”

Xie Qingjia raised an eyebrow. “Alright, let’s head to the track and settle this.”

Xu Ershao added, “I heard there’s a professional team racing there today.”

Chen Sishao had a sudden idea. “Racing among ourselves is boring. Why don’t we challenge them and see how good they really are?”

Tao Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully. “Sure, let’s do it. Let’s go, guys!”

Xie Qingjia grabbed his jacket, a bright red coat that stood out strikingly. Wearing it, he exuded the carefree charm of a rebellious youth.

“Let’s go.”

By the time the group of wealthy young men arrived at the racetrack, the professional racers had just finished their match. When the two groups met, the competitive spirit flared up instantly.

The wealthy young men faced off against the professional team.

Each side sent out ten participants. Xie Qingjia and his crew went head-to-head with the professional team, not caring much about winning or losing—they just wanted the thrill of the race.

Chen Sishao, who wasn’t particularly skilled at racing, took the passenger seat in Xie Qingjia’s car to assist.

Sitting in the red Ferrari, he looked excitedly at Xie Qingjia in the driver’s seat. “Xie, it’s all on you this time!”

Xie Qingjia chuckled, his radiant face brimming with confidence.

“Alright, I’ll take you for a ride.”

Meanwhile, the members of the professional team were ready to show these cocky rich kids what real racing skills looked like.

As the race began, both sides were fiercely competitive, neither willing to back down. But after a few turns, four or five cars fell behind the leaders.

The leading cars were pushing their limits, sticking close to the ground as they sped forward.

Xie Qingjia glanced at the green car racing alongside him, while behind him, other cars were closing in fast. He even collided with a few cars during the race.

After another drift turn, Xie found himself blocked, surrounded by cars on all sides. Tao Yi, who had fallen behind, helplessly slammed his steering wheel.

Xie Qingjia accelerated forward, forcefully ramming the car blocking his way, then hit the gas again, his car leaping forward and leaving the pursuing vehicles behind.

His red car surged ahead, overtaking all the professional cars and heading straight for the finish line.

The red car was moving so fast it was a blur!

Not only was Chen Sishao in the passenger seat’s heart racing, but even the security personnel who had come with Xie Qingjia couldn’t help but feel their hearts pounding.

This is insane! Are you trying to kill yourself?

My dear ancestor, can you please stop messing around?

They all looked horrified and immediately reported the situation to their superiors.

They couldn’t let Xie Qingjia continue racing, or their hearts wouldn’t be able to take it.

Just as Xie Qingjia and his friends were celebrating their victory, he suddenly spotted some familiar faces. His smile gradually froze.

No way! What are they doing here?

Deputy Director Qian and a few senior professors, accompanied by a group of tall National Security Bureau officers, approached with stern expressions. “Please cooperate with us.”

The professional racers at the finish line and Xie Qingjia’s wealthy friends were all taken away, completely bewildered.

“What’s going on? Can someone explain?”

“We didn’t do anything wrong, why do we need to cooperate?”

Tao Yi, full of questions, suddenly stopped. “Wait, why isn’t Xie coming with us? Where are you taking him?”

Xie Qingjia was now under the scrutiny of his former colleagues, who looked at him like he was some rare creature, as if he were something extraordinary.

“What are you staring at? What are you all doing here? Don’t you know I’m on vacation?”

The plump Academician Zhao clicked his tongue. “I heard you were risking your life on the track, so I rushed over to make sure you didn’t kill yourself.”

“Who knew I’d find you like this, acting like some spoiled rich kid.”

Xie Qingjia: (ω) Thanks a lot!

He gritted his teeth. “You’ve investigated my family background, haven’t you? I used to be a spoiled young master—what do you mean ‘acting like’?!!”

“That’s enough. Stop staring.”

He crossed his arms, suppressing his anger to keep from exploding on the spot.

Deputy Director Qian stepped forward. “Let’s go. You and these others need to come with us for questioning. It’s for your own safety.”

Xie Qingjia took a deep breath, waved to his friends, and got into the car with them.
