The day passed quickly, and Zhang Yifei returned to the car repair shop after school in the evening, still with the door closed, but there was a light in the back warehouse, which made Zhang Yifei not choose to go upstairs and go home, but walked directly towards the warehouse.

The door to the warehouse was open, and the inside was brightly lit, and the livery on the Ford Mustang in the middle had been removed, and the black metallic paint shimmered in the light. At this moment, there were three people standing in the warehouse, in addition to Zhang Zhiguo, Lu Ningping and Feng Linmu were also standing next to this Ford Mustang.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yifei walked in and joked: "Do you old guys plan to see my driving skills tonight?" Waited in the warehouse so early. ”

"Nothing big or small."

Zhang Zhiguo saw that it was Zhang Yifei's hippie smiling face, and immediately reprimanded.

"It's okay, young man, Zhiguo, don't look like we're all old-fashioned old guys."

Lao Lu replied with a smile, he likes Zhang Yifei's optimistic personality.

After finishing speaking, Lu Ningping put his hand on Zhang Yifei's shoulder and led him to the Ford Mustang.

"Yifei, what do you think of this car?"

"It's good, the new engine has been transplanted, the wheels, suspension, and suspension have been changed, and it basically meets the specifications of the race."

"Yes, I know a lot."

After saying this, Lu Ningping looked back at Zhang Zhiguo, which meant that he taught well. Just seeing Lu Ningping's eyes, Zhang Zhiguo only had a wry smile on his face, this kid didn't teach him what he knew, but these things were too bizarre, and others thought he was bragging about his son when he said it.

"Do you know why your dad and Lin Mu changed to Ford Mustang?"

"I don't know."

"Because I drove a Mustang sponsored by Ford on Hong Kong Island and won our first track race championship as a team, we agreed that no matter what car we drove in the future, we would change to a Ford Mustang and keep it as a souvenir. Even though I retired and went to Hong Kong Island, your dad and Lin Mu still changed this Ford Mustang for me. ”

"It's good."

Zhang Yifei replied a little in a low voice, because he remembered his team members, if the only thing that made Zhang Yifei feel reluctant to come to this world was the group of team members who accompanied him to fight all over the world, I don't know if they will also keep a car as a memorial after they leave.

"But Uncle Lu, I'm still a little puzzled, since the team members are still insisting, why did you choose to retire back then?"

Zhang Yifei asked this sentence, the expressions of several people in the warehouse were a little heavy, and seeing that no one answered, Zhang Yifei asked: "Is it because of Ah Wei?" ”

"One Fly!"

Zhang Zhiguo opened his mouth to stop it at this time, but Lu Ningping stretched out his hand to stop it.

At this time, Lu Ningping took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have heard it before, and he will know about this matter one day, so it is better to tell him now, so that he can understand the cruelty of professional drivers." ”

"Yifei, when I retired from the army and instructed the special driving of cars, it was at that time that I met your father, Lin Mu and Ah Wei. Later, I participated in some racing competitions, and went to the UK to study professional racing, and when I came back, I got the sponsorship of the car manufacturer to set up a team, your father was a maintenance technician, Lin Mu was an automotive engineer, and Ah Wei was my navigator. ”

When he heard the three words of the navigator, Zhang Yifei suddenly understood why Lu Ningping retired, because he was also a rally driver in his last life.

The navigator can be said to be the eyes of the rally driver, the most reliable partner, the one who entrusts each other with life and death. When the car is driving at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour on an unfamiliar and dangerous road, whether it is the mistake of the navigator or the driver, it will lead to the risk of death for two people, so many times when the driver is mentioned, it will be introduced as a car group, and not only the driver but not the navigator, because they are a constituent unit.

"Five years ago, when our team competed in the Dakar Rally, in addition to our mainland team, there was also a Hong Kong Island Japan joint team, and the other team was my old rival He Feng."

"The first time I participated in the Hong Kong Island-Yenching Rally, I only won the runner-up overall, and the champion was He Feng's team. So this time we met them again in Dakar and I wanted to win and prove myself. ”

"It was a desert race in Egypt, where the heat made it easy for the car parts to overheat, and I didn't slow down in many corners in order to run more extreme times, but instead forced my tail to flick through with the brakes. As a result, the brakes overheated and the braking ability was severely reduced, and on the last long downhill corner, the lack of braking force caused the car to lose control and roll down the hill, and one of the raised rocks hit the passenger seat. ”

Lu Ningping didn't go on, but the result was that Zhang Yifei had already understood, it was because of this accident that Lu Ningping chose to retire with guilt, and a generation of Chinese car kings ended in this way.

Maybe this kind of thing is put on ordinary people, and they will think that Lu Ningping is too strong to win and lose that caused the accident, but Zhang Yifei, as a professional driver in his previous life, can understand Lu Ningping's choice at that time.

Professional racing is originally on the edge of the limit and out of control, success is called the limit, failure is out of control. The moment you choose to push your limits as a driver, you have to take the risk of losing control, even your life. Zhang Yifei was able to come to this world because of a racing accident, which was also his choice.

"Yifei, your dad said that you like racing, but I hope you can understand the risks and costs behind professional racing, it is not a group of young people playing on the mountain roads or streets, but a road full of hardships and thorns, if you understand these, will you choose to become a driver?"

That's how professional drivers differ from street teams, they know what the word "professional" stands for, and it's never easy for people to choose this path. And street racing, as long as you have a good car, everyone can have fun at a good level, and there are many things that you don't need to think about.

"Of course I do, and I don't regret it."

Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, his smile was full of firmness, this is the path he has never given up even at the cost of his life, how can he give up now?

Lu Ningping felt Zhang Yifei's firmness, without the slightest hesitation or wavering, which surprised him. But soon a faint smile appeared on his face, and now he also understood a little, why Zhiguo said that he saw his shadow in Yifei, and when he chose his career path back then, why didn't he hesitate like the young man in front of him?

"It's good to find your own direction when you're young, get in the car, I'll go to Qixing Mountain with you to see how young people's skills are now."

"No problem, Uncle Lu, don't be too surprised then."

"Well, let's see if you can surprise me."

After Lu Ningping said this, he directly threw the key to the Ford Mustang to Zhang Yifei.
