Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

Now that things have come to this point, Lin Shengquan seems to be in a very difficult position, unable to come down at all.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, we use the money we've lost as the stake?"

"That's not right. You should have returned it to me in the first place," Gu Ran said after glancing at Su Xiaoqiang.

Su Xiaoqiang gestured to Gu Ran, meaning that he could make all the decisions.

"If I win, the deficit will be wiped clean, and you won't pursue it any further," Lin Shengquan proposed his wager. "If I lose, I'll make up for the entire deficit and give you an additional one hundred million US dollars. How about that? Surely the son-in-law will be willing, right?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "That's a good suggestion. I recorded the call. You don't mind, do you?"

"I don't mind, it can serve as proof of our bet," Lin Shengquan said.

Gu Ran continued, "I heard you're from the 14K. Since we're all respectable people, you won't renege on your promise, will you?"

"I heard your son-in-law has connections with the Mafia? With such powerful backing, who would dare to renege on their debts?" Lin Shengquan said.

“Great, then see you in Berlin?” Gu Ran asked.

“Okay, see you in Berlin,” Lin Shengquan replied.

The call was hung up.

The people in the office listened to this son-in-law of the Su family, who seemed to have a strong江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) vibe, and who kept talking about a hundred million, acting like he was rich and powerful.

"Richard, make up for the deficit of your office within three days. As for the rest, transfer it to my bank account within a week and we'll be fine. As for the others, just follow the contract. Once this matter is settled, you can continue working here. As for what happens next... you're on your own."

Gu Ran glanced at them, then packed her things and left with Su Xiaoqiang, ignoring them completely.

After leaving the office, Su Xiaoqiang asked Gu Ran, "Do you have a sports car in Germany? Should we rent one beforehand?"

"Don't worry, everything is ready. You won't be disappointed," Gu Ran said, holding Su Xiaoqiang's hand.

Su Xiaoqiang held his arm, feeling very safe. With him there, none of the problems seemed insurmountable.

*……*……*

The next afternoon, at Berlin Airport.

As soon as Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang got off the plane, they saw people holding up signs to welcome them at the airport exit.

"You're looking for us?" Gu Ran asked, carrying a small briefcase, looking at the group of burly men in black with interest.

There were eight people holding signs to greet them, all dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses.

One of the bald men stepped forward and said to Gu Ran, "Young master, young lady, I am Mr. Lin's secretary, and I have come to pick you up."

"Why did you come to pick us up? It's not like we don't know the way," Gu Ran asked with a smile.

"Mr. Lin guessed that you two probably don't own a car in the area, so he specially selected a few sports cars for you to choose from." As soon as the bald secretary finished speaking, he pointed to the parking lot not far away.

Gu Ran glanced at it and smiled.

“Let’s go, let’s go and see for ourselves,” Gu Ran said to Su Xiaoqiang.

Su Xiaoqiang nodded. She was dressed simply today in jeans and a white T-shirt, but her face and figure were so beautiful that even a simple outfit couldn't hide her stunning appearance.

The men around her couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

The bald secretary noticed that Su Xiaoqiang was always holding Gu Ran's arm, so it seemed that this son-in-law was not marrying into the family, but rather that the Su family was marrying above their station.

The group arrived at the parking lot, where three sports cars were parked: a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, and a Porsche, all two-seater coupes.

"The son-in-law and daughter can test drive the cars, and if they like one, they can choose one to practice with," the bald secretary said.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the car you prepared is so outdated. Fortunately, it doesn't suit my taste," Gu Ran said with a shake of his head.

Then, he took out his car keys: "Fortunately, I had someone arrange a car for me in advance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed the button on the car key.

Not far away, a bright yellow sports car sounded its alarm.

Everyone looked over and saw that the bright yellow sports car was very eye-catching. In fact, they had noticed the sports car when they drove their luxury cars into the parking lot.

The Hennessy Venom GT is a top-of-the-line sports car with only 10 units produced worldwide!

The car is built on the Lotus Exige platform, with a carbon fiber body and a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The appearance is actually not bad; all sports cars are pretty much the same.

But what's terrifying is the car's performance: it's equipped with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing a maximum of 1244 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, weighing 1.2 tons, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, and reaching a top speed of 435.31 km/h!

Chapter 569 Floor the gas pedal!

The bald secretary stared at Gu Ran's Hennessy Venom GT, his eyelids twitching. This car was just as famous as the Bugatti Veyron that Caesar lost to Lu Mingfei.

However, due to its customized and limited release, this car only started production this year, and it is claimed that only 29 units will be produced worldwide. The number delivered so far will not exceed 10, or even less.

Therefore, from this point of view alone, the bald secretary has a new understanding of Gu Ran's identity. It is not as simple as just knowing a mafia family. Gu Ran's own background must be very strong.

"Let's go, want to test drive the car?" Gu Ran handed the car keys to Su Xiaoqiang, ignoring what the others thought.

Su Xiaoqiang had heard Gu Ran mention it on the plane. The principal of their school, Angers, had specially prepared a supercar for Gu Ran. The principal said that he knew someone from the 'HPE' company, and since the car happened to be in Germany, he lent it to Gu Ran.

So when the plane landed, ground staff handed Gu Ran the car keys.

Su Xiaoqiang also knew about the car's performance; it could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds! Just thinking about it made her very excited!

Although she had driven sports cars when she was in Binhai, those were just ordinary mass-market models with relatively slow 0-100 km/h acceleration. Moreover, this super limited edition sports car was like a unique, large toy.

She happily took the car keys, opened the yellow car door, and bent down to sit in the driver's seat.

One downside of sports cars is that the seats are very low, requiring you to bend over every time you get in or out, which is bad for your back.

However, the driver's seat is quite comfortable. After all, for a sports car in this price range, in addition to performance, the comfort of the passengers and driver must also be considered.

After adjusting the seat, Su Xiaoqiang looked at the buttons in the car to familiarize himself with them, and then started the engine. He then heard the wonderful engine sound!

"Wow! The ignition alone is this powerful!" Su Xiaoqiang said excitedly to Gu Ran, eager to try it out. "This is the first time I've ever heard an engine sound coming from behind my head!"

The engine of this car is located in the middle of the car, and you can hear the engine sound coming from the back every time you press the accelerator. In contrast, the sports cars that Su Xiaoqiang usually drives have their engines in the front or back, and the engine sound is far away.

The bald secretary and his men were still blocking the way, so Su Xiaoqiang playfully shifted into neutral and revved the engine. The roaring engine startled them, and they all made way.

She wouldn't have done this on a university campus in China, but she felt no guilt whatsoever towards these people; on the contrary, she was quite pleased.

Gu Ran rolled down the car window, waved outside, and beckoned his bald secretary over: "By the way, when does the race start? Is it a closed track or a road race?"

"Our CEO, Mr. Lin, has booked the entire Nürburgring circuit," the bald secretary replied truthfully. "How about starting tomorrow night?"

The Nürburgring Nordschleife is located in Cologne, Germany. It is a professional circuit characterized by its numerous corners and elevation changes. The track is 25 kilometers long and is very challenging.

Lin Shengquan's choice of the Nürburgring Nordschleife was somewhat deliberate, as he frequently runs on the track and is very familiar with it. He also specifically chose to race at night to increase the difficulty of the course.

It's important to know that many corners on the Nürburgring are hidden in the forest, so many drivers who are unfamiliar with the road conditions on their first visit can easily miss their turn due to obstructed vision by the trees, causing their cars to go off the track.

They deduced that Gu Ran probably rarely came to the Nürburgring and wasn't as familiar with the track as they were, which is why they specifically chose this track, essentially playing on their home turf.

"Oh, okay, let's drive to Cologne now." Gu Ran didn't seem to care. He closed the car window and glanced at Su Xiaoqiang beside him.

Su Xiaoqiang gently pressed the accelerator with her long legs and started the engine. She pressed the accelerator very gently, as if afraid that the car would suddenly lurch forward.

This car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 2 seconds!

Even though she pressed the accelerator very gently, the engine still growled, like a beast suppressing its urge to roar.

The car carefully drove out of the city and onto the highway.

Germany's highways didn't start with unlimited speeds; they gradually increased the speed limit, starting at 100 km/h, then 120 km/h, and only when the road was straight and had little traffic did the speed limit become unlimited.

This is a busy section of road with a speed limit, but Su Xiaoqiang still drove the car at 100 km/h and felt the car's surging power.

Gu Ran then took out his iPhone and asked Norma to navigate... There was no other way; current navigation software was still immature and not very accurate, so it was safer to use Norma.

"Keep going straight ahead. You'll reach the section where the speed limit on the highway ends in three kilometers." Lin Chi-ling's voice came through the navigation system.

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Gu Ran and asked casually, "Do all you boys like this kind of sweet, baby-voiced tone?"

Gu Ran paused for a moment, then immediately began to analyze the question in her mind, and said, "This voice was recommended by Lu Mingfei, but I actually prefer Guo Degang's voice."

As he spoke, he asked Norma to change her voice to Guo Degang's.

"Alright, the speed limit is being lifted up ahead, please be careful!" Norma said in Guo Degang's tone.

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Su Xiaoqiang was amused by him and laughed loudly. Then she glanced at the sign on the right. There was a gray circular sign with a black diagonal line in the middle.

Seeing it meant entering a section of road with no speed limit, so she could finally step on the gas and go all the way without any restrictions.

The vehicle was already traveling at 130 km/h, and when the accelerator was pressed down, the car immediately felt a push-back sensation, and the engine behind them finally began to unleash its true roar!

"Wuhu!"

Su Xiaoqiang gripped the steering wheel tightly, leaned back in his seat, and cheered as he accelerated.

Although the car's sound insulation was quite good, the engine noise still came in waves, like a tidal wave!

Gu Ran glanced at the dashboard; the speed had already reached 200 kilometers per hour. He then gave a word of advice: "Once you pick up speed, anticipate lane changes and overtaking earlier."

"Okay!" Su Xiaoqiang had never driven this fast before. In China, he usually drove around 130 km/h, and sometimes he would sneak up to 150 km/h.

And the current speed is already over 230 kilometers per hour!

However, that's not the most outrageous part. The most outrageous part is that the surrounding vehicles are also traveling at 200 kilometers per hour. When Germans drive on highways with no speed limit, apart from trucks, almost no private cars are traveling below 200 kilometers per hour.

Su Xiaoqiang floored the accelerator, and the car reached a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Then, when she saw a vehicle appear in front of her, she immediately let go.

"Don't be afraid, I'll cover you, keep going!" Gu Ran encouraged her.

Even if an accident occurs, he can use the Super Light Rock Technique to make the car float instantly, and then use Wind Release to slow it down, leaving the car intact while also protecting other passing vehicles.

In short, there's no need to panic with him around.

With Gu Ran's assurance, Su Xiaoqiang grew bolder and floored the accelerator in the far left overtaking lane. The engine roared louder, and the tachometer began to approach the red zone.

In no time, the car was going over 400 kilometers per hour!

She easily overtook all the surrounding vehicles; ordinary family cars couldn't accelerate as fast as her, nor could they reach her top speed.

Many drivers only felt a yellow flash of lightning suddenly streak across their left side, and then all they could see were Su Xiaoqiang's taillights.

Keep in mind that the operating speed of high-speed rail is only 300 kilometers per hour!

"Wow! That's awesome!" Su Xiaoqiang cheered loudly from the side, their speed already approaching 420 kilometers per hour!

In Germany, the far left lane is the overtaking lane, which is only used when overtaking. Therefore, people generally do not use this lane. Vehicles in other lanes only use this lane when overtaking, and generally do not suddenly change lanes here.

Therefore, Su Xiaoqiang had no obstruction in this lane!
