Omnipotent Husband System

Chapter 393: Who Lost, Who Won?



Han Lingshi and Hao Ren went toe to toe for the first round and none of them gave in even a little bit. Andy and the rest of the people were shocked when they found that not only Hao Ren but even Han Lingshi was so skilled behind the steering wheel. She was basically tailing Hao Ren the moment he took the lead and then using a slightest slip up to make a move and regain the lost ground. One of the former drivers, who was heading a lev race team, moved over to Andy's side in the paddock and said, "Andy, these two, who are they? Had they been racing in the old days, they would have crushed the circuits." Andy smiled and said, "Well, Hao Ren is someone who has defeated you once, Riccardo. As for the other driver, that's President Han, the tycoon of the Good Spirit Group." Riccardo was shocked and exclaimed, "You mean that business mogul who changed the face of the Han nation?" Andy nodded and said, "Yes, well don't look down on Hao Ren, he has been very good, running the Good Spirit group alongside President Han, and Good Spirit group was his company, they merged it with the Han Group last year only. He loves his wife and thus gave her the power over their empire." Riccardo shivered and said, "Did you see what he just pulled off?" Andy sighed and said, "Ricky boy, I am not blind yet. I can see what happened. Hao Ren slipped a little but he drifted the car on the curb and pulled it back in the race. Just calm down and watch. Who is recording this thing? I want the whole footage, this race might be the chance to reignite the spark for track racing once again." Riccardo nodded and asked, "Do you really hate the idea of Lev-racing that much?" Andy sighed and replied, "Ricky, tracking racing is not easy, it took everyone a period of over seven decades to come up with rules and regulation to make it safe, yet, every year, two people would die while racing. Lev racing has greater speed, and while the technology can reduce the risk, it is a new sport. If a car crashed and got flung in the crowd, what do you think would happen?" Riccardo nodded, and said, "We all have the same concern it seems. If we can talk to the two of them, then probably we might be able to get a better resolution to this problem. In the past they have done a lot of things and even scrubbed some projects because of the public opinion, maybe they might do something like this again." Andy agreed with him as he replied, "Okay, let us see how it goes after the race." … Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were driving and they were completely focused on handling the cars. Although their bodies were in great condition, and Han Lingshi even seemed to have fun, Hao Ren was raging inside because winning was important. They were about to finish a lap, when an operator told them, "Last lap, repeat, last lap!" They both replied, "Copy that!" Han Lingshi was confident that she could win the match, when Hao Ren suddenly went to the inside of the track, just when he was entering the corner, he entered a drift and Han Lingshi was forced to brake, because as he slid the car to the side, it blocked her line to get ahead. The young lady was surprised to see such an operation. Hao Ren did not care about anything at the moment, he moved quickly and after finishing the drift, he got a quick exit, and then changed gears to drag the car through the chicane. Han Lingshi tried her best but this time, as soon as the young man saw a corner, he would use a drift technique to clear the corner quickly and move fast. Han Lingshi was driving well but she could not drift, this was out of her skill set. She had no idea how Hao Ren was doing it, but she knew one thing, his tires were being punished and soon they would lose the efficient grip. Well, Hao Ren was not a fool, he was aware that his tires were punished, but it had been managing very well. Soon, they reached the final stretch, and Hao Ren maintained the idol line. Han Lingshi chased, she was pushing her car to the maximum and the same was true for Hao Ren as well, but catching up to that one second lead without DRS, it was hard. Hao Ren crossed the finish line with the lead of one head. The two of them stopped the cars. Hao Ren got out of the cockpit, came to Han Lingshi, and helped her get out as well. The lady was upset that she tried so hard but still lost, however, she could not say anything. Hao Ren did not use his spiritual powers at all. The young man helped her take off the helmet and held her face in his hands. He looked in her eyes and asked, "Since when did you become such a hardcore driver?" Han Lingshi woke up from her daze, and replied, "The time when you were cultivating in seclusion, Xiao Mei made a car for me. I would practice on it to kill some time. It was a plan to promote the racing games back in the Spirit Shimmer Continent, but then we got involved in cultivation and forgot about it." Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "Well, we can use this sport on a greater scale there." Just as the two were about to talk about it, Andy and Riccardo came over. Hao Ren and Han Lingshi heard their praises with smiles on their faces, and then Andy said, "Actually, I want to ask you both something." Hao Ren nodded and Andy said, "It's about Lev-racing. We all are concerned about the safety of the drivers and the fans, can you do something about it?" The young man thought about it a bit and then said, "I will handle it, also, track racing will stay the usual, this will still be the entry level for the racers to get in the cockpit of a lev-racer. You don't have to worry about that." He did not know that his words gave the two people a lot of courage. After some discussion, the two people picked up their feet and headed to the city square. Why? Because they had a bet to complete. Han Lingshi said, "Ren close your senses, I have to make some preparations you cannot peek in." Hao Ren was confused and asked, "For real?" Han Lingshi nodded and replied, "Yes, for real. Now do it." Hao Ren closed his eyes and his ears as well. Han Lingshi began to talk with Xiao Mei and the AI prepared everything in record time. Han Lingshi was going to save face and rather than a simple sentence, she wanted to create a romantic surprise for Hao Ren. … After fifteen minutes, they reached the City Square, and Xiao Mei said, "It will take ten more minutes, please bear with it." That said, Han Lingshi took Hao Ren to sightsee around the square that had changed completely. The two were surprised, as they saw skyscrapers almost rising to touch the clouds, and all the places now used holographic systems to create ads and moving sign boards for their shops on the ground. Hao Ren looked around and said, "I never expected it to turn into something like this. What did Xiao Mei do when we weren't here?" Han Lingshi smiled and asked, "Do you still remember where you proposed to me?" Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed at a spot in the center, where now stood a big tree, and said, "There." Han Lingshi smiled and then held his hand as they crossed the road quickly to appear under the tree. There were many people around the tree, they were clicking pictures, seemingly they were tourists in the place. Hao Ren raised his brow calmly and asked, "What are we doing here?" Han Lingshi said, "Xiao Mei, ready?" Xiao Mei replied, "Ready." Han Lingshi replied, "Go!" The holographic displays that attracted the attention of all the people suddenly froze, and balls of flames appeared in the square, dancing around, blue and orange. The crowd also froze, they began to record the scene, and suddenly the flame balls gathered around Hao Ren and Han Lingshi, the young lady smiled and went down on her knees, as she said, "I, Han Lingshi, humbly accepts your sovereignty over my mind, soul, and body." The people thought it was a romantic proposal, the young man was surprised, but then he sighed and said, "Yes, now, would you please stand up, my love." Han Lingshi stood up, and Hao Ren kissed her before everyone. The people cheered and the bet was complete.
