44: Does a bodyguard need this kind of driving skill?

At the racetrack's main grandstand, people were drawn by the luxury cars and beautiful women.

Lei Jun had no time to worry about the gazes from the stands; her entire mind was immersed in this feast of speed.

She watched the numbers on the dashboard climb steadily: 150km/h, 200km/h, 250km/h... Her heartbeat accelerated along with them, blood racing through her veins, as a sensation mixing thrill, excitement, and a hint of fear swept through her body.

At every high-speed corner, she could feel the powerful centrifugal force as the tires gripped the ground tightly.

With every heavy brake, her body would lunge forward due to inertia, only to be held firmly by the seatbelt.

She closed her eyes, carefully feeling it all.

The wind noise, the roar of the engine, the changes in G-force, the screeching of the tires.

This was a pure... ultimate experience of escaping worldly troubles, a worship of mechanical performance and human control.

Fantastic!

Only this one thought remained in her mind.

This feeling of mastering speed and challenging limits touched the nerves deep within her that craved freedom and power far more than shopping or consumption ever could.

"How does it feel, Miss?" Lei Ying asked.

"Excellent!" Lei Jun said excitedly, "This is exactly the feeling I wanted."

The dopamine surge brought by this extreme sport was wonderful.

It seemed she could explore more similar experiences in the future.

She let Lei Ying continue.

Boom!

Boom!

Lei Jun continued to immerse herself in the lightning-fast speed.

She glanced at Lei Ying beside her, who looked as calm as ever, and couldn't help but marvel once again at the system's power.

A Bodyguard not only possessed top-tier combat and protection abilities but even had driving skills comparable to, or even surpassing, professional racers.

"Lei Ying."

"You can let loose a bit more."

She wanted to experience the limits of this mechanical beast more deeply and see just how far Lei Ying's driving skills went.

Lei Ying: "Understood, Miss."

The continuous roar of the pagani performance beast soon attracted more people's attention.

Qin Yu, a senior member of Dragon City's "Apex Speed" Supercar Club, was chatting with several club friends.

After seeing his acquaintance Lei Jun driving on the track, he pulled several friends from the supercar club to watch.

As expected of Sister Lei, even a Bodyguard's driving skills were so badass.

These skills were even better than some professional drivers.

After his introduction, his friends exclaimed in amazement.

"My god, Qin Yu, are you sure? This is a Bodyguard? This technique, the precision into the corners, the throttle control coming out of them—it's better than the professional coaches I've hired!"

"What exactly is the background of this Sister Lei you're talking about? Why would a Bodyguard need this kind of driving skill?"

"Why would someone with this kind of talent be a Bodyguard? Wouldn't it be better to go and make a name for themselves on the professional circuit?"

"Holy crap, this car is stunning. I can't take it; I'll have to get a pagani myself later!"

Soon, other sports cars appeared on both sides of the track's starting point.

"Young Master Wu, look quickly, that's Sun Hao's McLaren P1. He actually entered the track too." Young Master Zhou pointed at a cool sports car.

Young Master Wu: "Even if Lei Jun's Bodyguard's skills are strong, they'll likely struggle to gain the upper hand against someone like Sun Hao who has had professional training. This pagani has met its match now."

He gave a soft laugh.

"This Miss Lei Jun is so outstanding that even Sun Hao wants to show off in front of the beauty."

He looked at Young Master Zhou and teased.

"A beauty like this can probably only be won over by our Young Master Zhou."

Young Master Zhou slowly shook his head.

Young Master Wu joked: "Young Master Zhou, what's this? Getting cold feet already?"

Young Master Zhou smiled.

"This Lei Jun's background is definitely not simple."

"That Patek Philippe Nautilus on her wrist worth millions, a pagani worth over twenty million, and the Bodyguard isn't simple either."

"All of this indicates her background is not simple; it's better not to provoke her rashly."
