Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger?

Xu Ruoxuan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Ye Fan, "Mr. Ye, Ma Wenbin is right, your AE86 is anything but ordinary!"Before Ma Wenbin's analysis, Xu Ruoxuan had felt that the AE86 driven by Ye Fan was off, ordinary AE86s simply did not have such explosive power.

"Yeah, could this really be a international supercar disguised as an AE86?"

Many racers started talking, and despite the reverence they felt for Ye Fan, they now cast doubtful glances at him.

"This AE86 was brought over from abroad by my father while he was still alive; it is not an international supercar!" Zhuang Jingwen was the first to speak up.

Xu Ruoxuan smiled, "Oh? Is that so? If that's the case, then Mr. Ye's modification skills are truly unprecedented and extraordinary, dazzling through the ages!"

"Miss Xu, it's fine if you don't believe it, but there's no need for such sarcasm!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan responded with a teasing look, "This car was modified at the Fleeting Luxury Car Club, and Miss Xu saw it with her own eyes. If the gentlemen here don't believe it, feel free to examine it!"

"Examine at will?"

Seeing Ye Fan's confidence, Xu Ruoxuan couldn't help but wonder if she was being overly concerned.

Impossible!

A mere AE86, breaking 200 km/h after modification was already pushing the limits, how could it possibly break through 300 km/h?

Indeed, Ye Fan personally modified the AE86 at the Fleeting Luxury Car Club, all in less than ten minutes, which she had witnessed with her own eyes.

Yet the idea of an AE86 reaching speeds over 300 km/h after modification seemed incredibly fanciful to Xu Ruoxuan.

"Putting on airs!"

Ma Wenbin snorted coldly, "Ruo Xuan, don't waste your breath on him, when Master Smith arrives, this kid's pretense will be exposed!"

"Mmm," Xu Ruoxuan nodded.

She looked at Ye Fan with an odd gleam in her eyes, full of anticipation, wondering if this man would once again bring her a different kind of surprise.

"Hello? Who is it?"

Soon, Ma Wenbin got through to the world's top tuning master, Smith, and an elderly voice came through from the other end of the line.

On hearing this aged voice, Ma Wenbin spoke with respect, "Master Smith, it's Ma Wenbin. Do you remember me? I visited you before, at a global racing event."

"Ma Wenbin? Sorry, I don't recall!" Smith responded tersely.

Upon hearing this, Ma Wenbin's face stiffened; he clearly didn't expect Master Smith to have forgotten him.

However, Ma Wenbin also understood, with so many elites in the global racing world and Smith being the world's number one modifier, many people visited him daily, so it was normal not to remember him.

After a pause, Ma Wenbin continued respectfully, "Master Smith, here's the thing, there's an AE86 here that reached a speed of 310 km/h after modification. We suspect it's a wolf in sheep's clothing, using the AE86's shell. We need you to come and verify it please!"

"What? An AE86 reaching 310 km/h?"

Meanwhile, in an ancient building within Central Plains, an old man with white hair suddenly stood up from his seat, his face filled with shock.

Realizing that Smith was astonished, Ma Wenbin nodded, "Yes, Master Smith, it's unbelievable!"

"Where is it? Send me the location immediately!" Master Smith's interest was piqued.

Upon hearing this, Ma Wenbin replied enthusiastically, "Got it, Master Smith, I'll send you the location right away!"

When Smith received the position from Ma Wenbin, he called out, "Kerry, come out with me!"

"Teacher, Mr. Yang will be arriving soon, wouldn't we be standing him up if we go out now?" his apprentice Kerry asked.

Smith, lively with excitement, said, "I'll explain personally to Mr. Yang later, hurry and get the car, we're heading to Zifeng Mountain!"

For Smith, compared to meeting an old friend, he was more interested in vehicle modification.

He had previously studied the AE86 and modified it himself, but in the end, the modified car could only just break two hundred kilometers per hour, and couldn't go any faster. Now, learning that someone had modified an AE86 to surpass three hundred was like discovering treasure to Smith.

Having been the world's number one modification master for many years, invincibility was quite lonely for him. He was eager to find a rival to rekindle his passion for modification.

After contacting Smith, Ma Wenbin said with a sinister tone, "Ye Fan, Master Smith is on his way. You'd better admit to cheating, or else when Master Smith exposes you in public, be careful you won't be able to step down!"

"If one's conscience is clear, they need not fear a crooked shadow. No matter which master comes to check, I have nothing to fear!" the corners of Ye Fan's mouth lifted slightly.

Ye Fan was fully confident in his own modification skills.

Hearing Ye Fan's response, Ma Wenbin sneered, "Very good! Just wait until Master Smith arrives; you're in for it!"

To his death, he wouldn't believe that an AE86 could break three hundred after modification. In his eyes, Ye Fan was the epitome of cheating and still wouldn't admit it after being exposed.

Xu Ruoxuan and a group of professional racers fell into silence; they too anticipated the arrival of Master Smith.

Only Zhuang Jingwen trusted Ye Fan unconditionally, since this car was procured by her father before his death, and it definitely couldn't be an international supercar disguised as an AE86.

Twenty minutes later, a Ford Raptor swiftly arrived at the top of Zifeng Mountain, and an old man immediately got out of the passenger seat.

The old man wasn't tall, probably only about one meter sixty, but he moved vigorously and briskly. Despite his white hair, he seemed even more energetic than the average young person.

"Master Smith!" Seeing the old man, Ma Wenbin quickly approached him.

Smith looked towards Ma Wenbin, "Was it you who just contacted me? Where is that AE86 that you claimed its speed broke three hundred?"

"Master Smith, have a look, it's this one!" Ma Wenbin pointed to a white AE86 among the many vehicles at the mountaintop.

Smith exclaimed in surprise, "It looks pretty ordinary, not much different from a regular AE86, and this car doesn't even have a spoiler. How could it possibly break three hundred? Open the engine hood for me!"

"Yes, Master Smith!"

With disdain, Ma Wenbin glanced at Ye Fan as if Ye Fan was about to be exposed.

Without asking for Ye Fan's permission, he directly went up and opened the hood of the AE86.

"Master Smith, please look!" Opening the hood, Ma Wenbin said respectfully.

The elderly Smith stepped forward to look, and his expression became strange.

The next moment, Smith pulled out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and started tinkering with the engine.

Under everyone's gaze, the more Smith tinkered, the more serious his expression became; it was as if he had discovered a new continent.

Seeing Smith's expression change, Ma Wenbin said mockingly, "How about it, Master Smith, does this AE86 have a big problem?"

"It's more than just a big problem!" Smith exclaimed outright.

As he spoke, Ma Wenbin, as if he had caught Ye Fan's Achilles heel, angrily grabbed Ye Fan's collar, "You scoundrel, did you hear that? Master Smith himself admits there's a big problem with this AE86. You claimed to race me with an AE86, yet you cheated in secret. Now, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"I didn't expect Ye Fan to actually cheat, what a disappointment!"

Many racers who had idolized Ye Fan shook their heads.

Although Ye Fan's driving skills were exceptional, his character was indeed not commendable.

Just as everyone was feeling let down by Ye Fan, Master Smith exclaimed again, "This is absolutely amazing. On the original basis of the AE86 engine, without replacing any parts, just by rearranging the circuits and other components, it is possible to elicit a burst of power on par with international supercars from an AE86. Such modification techniques are unheard of!"

"Even I could not achieve such a feat, and in fact, these modification techniques are leading by decades, they are textbook-level work!"

"A miracle, this is truly a tremendous miracle!"
