After Ye Qiu received news from Xu Batian that Xu Lei had been picked up by him, although he regretted not knowing where Xu Batian's hidden headquarters was, he was glad to be able to see Xu Lei.
Though he had only been apart from Xu Lei for less than a week, Ye Qiu felt an overwhelming sense of longing.
Previously, he hadn't felt it while they were together; only now did Ye Qiu realize he had become quite attached to Xu Lei.
"I wonder how Lei is doing and whether she's suffered during this time," he thought.
Although he knew Xu Batian took Xu Lei away possibly because he thought she was his daughter, everything was still unclear, and the specifics were uncertain.
Thus, Ye Qiu was driving his car rapidly towards the apartment where Xu Lei was, fully displaying his Silver Chariot King skills.
However, despite the early hour, it was past ten at night, and the road traffic was still heavy. Even though Ye Qiu was skilled, he couldn't make his car fly, and when faced with a traffic jam and no space to move, there was nothing he could do.
"Beep beep beep beep!"
Sitting in the car and staring at the unmoving line of vehicles ahead, Ye Qiu was filled with impatience and kept pressing the horn, causing the nearby drivers to stick their heads out and look at him.
But upon seeing the car Ye Qiu was driving, none dared to say anything for a moment.
In his hurry to get out, Ye Qiu randomly borrowed a car from Liu Meng, a senior figure under Xu Batian. Liu Meng was quite powerful and well-connected, so his car was high-end, and many people in YN recognized it.
Driving Liu Meng's car spared him quite some trouble.
"Of all times to have a traffic jam, why now!"
Ye Qiu knew that traffic jams were not something to rush, and he took a deep breath to calm his anxious mood.
Ring ring ring...
At this moment, his phone rang, causing Ye Qiu to pause: "Who is it?"
Taking out his phone, he saw Kenneth was calling him.
Kenneth was a good friend Ye Qiu had met in the United States, in the Highway Hero Team.
Later, because Kenneth spoke up for Ye Qiu, he offended Aik and was expelled from the Highway Hero Team just like Ye Qiu.
Kenneth then came to Huaxia and met with Ye Qiu.
When Ye Qiu came to YN to search for memory restoration methods for Xu Lei, he sent Kenneth to join a racing team in the Tibetan Region.
Half a month passed, and Kenneth was now calling him.
"Why are you only calling me after half a month?"
As soon as Ye Qiu picked up, he jokingly scolded Kenneth over the phone.
"Hey Ye Qiu, it's not my fault. I was following your instructions to strategically advance into the Tibetan Region for you," Kenneth replied.
Kenneth's slightly American-accented, even clumsy, Chinese brought a smile and calmed Ye Qiu's previously irritated mood.
It was indeed Ye Qiu who had sent Kenneth to join the Eagle Team in the Tibetan Region.
The purpose of this was to let Kenneth first understand the situation with the Eagle Team there.
After all, Ye Qiu might have to serve in that team for the coming years, so he needed to understand it well.
By having Kenneth clear the way first, Ye Qiu could save himself some trouble and effort.
"By the way, how's it going over there?" Ye Qiu asked.
Kenneth replied, "Haha, Ye Qiu, with my driving skills, why would you worry? In this half month, I've practically conquered this team, except for the top few individuals; I've defeated everyone else in the team."
Ye Qiu was speechless: "Kenneth, when did I ask you to defeat them? I wanted you to understand them. Well, if you've beaten them, you've beaten them. Oh, right. What about the top individuals in the team, how strong are they?"
Kenneth replied, "Several people are in Silver Tier, but the team captain is very mysterious; I haven't seen him yet. But judging from the respect others in the team have for him, he seems to be very powerful."
"Very powerful?"
Ye Qiu furrowed his brow: "Could he have reached the Golden Tier?"
Kenneth said, "I don't know. I've been here half a month and haven't seen that mysterious captain."
"Being away from the team for half a month is indeed mysterious."
Ye Qiu nodded: "With the new season of the professional league looming, less than a year away, that team captain is indeed leisurely."
"Not leisurely, actually," Kenneth said. "Although I haven't seen the team captain, I've learned from the team members that he's very strong and seems to be training somewhere."
"I see," Ye Qiu nodded.
At this moment, Kenneth added, "I heard the captain plans to compete against RB and Fujiwara Takumi in this year's league and intends to beat them."
"Defeat Fujiwara Takumi?"
Ye Qiu was slightly surprised.
Although Ye Qiu had never met or competed against Fujiwara Takumi, he had indeed heard of his fame.
Moreover, over half a month ago, Ye Qiu battled against Fujiwara Takumi's disciple, which gave him an assessment of Fujiwara Takumi's strength; it should be quite formidable.
He believed the team captain Kenneth mentioned must be aware of Fujiwara Takumi's strength. Knowing this, he's either overly confident or genuinely strong.
"I'm quite looking forward to visiting the team soon to see who this captain is," Ye Qiu thought to himself.
Then Kenneth asked, "By the way, Ye Qiu, when are you coming over?"
Ye Qiu thought for a moment. Xu Batian didn't specify when things would be resolved, but he did imply it would be soon.
So Ye Qiu considered and said, "I should be able to make it before the university semester starts."
"Alright then, Ye Qiu, I'll be here waiting for you. Do come quickly," said Kenneth.
Ye Qiu nodded: "Okay, I'll hang up now."
After they talked a bit more, Ye Qiu saw the traffic clear, started his car, and headed towards where Xu Lei was.
The road was clear until he arrived at Xu Lei's apartment, where he encountered someone unexpected.
"Wang Xuan?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow as he looked at Wang Xuan, standing leisurely in front of a Ferrari in stylish casual clothes, blocking his car.
With a screech of the brakes, Ye Qiu had a lot to ask Wang Xuan. Seeing him appear here, he didn't hesitate, parked the car, and got out.
He slowly walked towards Wang Xuan. When he stood in front of Wang Xuan, who was smiling, Ye Qiu frowned deeply and suddenly swung a mighty punch.
With a thud, Wang Xuan was knocked to the ground.
