I Am A Prodigy Chapter 359

Vroom!
Without any warning, the scarlet sports car roared like a wild beast. The sound generated was even louder than the race cars in the movies. It brought excitement to the crowd, bringing cheers and screams from them.
"So cool! This type of sports car is definitely every man's dream!"
"If I had a sports car like this, I'll never have to worry about getting a girlfriend. This is a lady killer!"
"That's so awesome. The car is really empty. What amazing technology. China is amazing!"
…
The crowd broke into discussions. Their eyes were all glued to the sports car.
"It's moving! The car is moving on its own!"
Someone from the crowd shouted. They could see the car starting to move on its own. Furthermore, it turned about to move around Ouyang Qing who stood beside the car.
Such a miraculous moment was met with astonished gasps from the crowd. They took out their phones to record this exciting display.
Vroom!
The sound from the car's engine roared, after which it accelerated wildly, only leaving behind a trail of dust for the crowd to see!
Its speed was top notch. In their eyes, it was like a burning fireball leaving behind a trail of fiery afterimages.
The first lap was completed within a short while.
The astonished gasp from the crowd grew. The car was self-activated and navigated. Along the way, obstacles were placed, yet it managed to automatically reduce speed and avoid them. It was absolutely amazing, top-notch technology.
"Hahaha, wonderful!"
Chairman Xu laughed as he nodded along. "Niece Ouyang, you're quite something. This contribution of yours will definitely be remembered well!"
The other higher-ups in Wanrong Group were looking at the reporters excitedly, similarly feeling proud of themselves. "This time, our Wanrong Automobile Group will expand overseas and strive to be on top in the international market! From now on, rising to the top is no longer impossible. Hahaha, Director Ouyang is really our top contributor…"

"Please, you're too generous. I'm just doing my job," Ouyang Qing replied steadily in a calm voice.
"Ouyang Feng, you've got yourself a wonderful daughter!" Chairman Xu praised one of the higher-ups of Wanrong Group with a laugh.
"It's because of Brother Xu's magnificent leadership." Ouyang Feng joined in laughter proudly.
Chairman Xu's expression darkened all of a sudden, then let out a long sigh. He looked toward Ouyang Qing and asked, "Niece Ouyang, where are Xu Nan and Xu Wanqing?"
"They've gone off with that young man named Ye Lingchen," Ouyang Qing replied softly. Just the mention of Yue Lingchen's name brought a gloomy look to Ouyang Qing's face.
"Unfilial child! They're such unfilial children! It's my fault for pampering them all the time! How dare they miss such an important occasion!" Chairman Xu took a deep breath, his face turning dark. "Two girls running around a man all day long. Just what do they think they're doing?!"
"Chairman Xu please calm down. Both of them are only fooled temporarily. Just wait until our autonomous vehicle technology is proven to be flawless, that scammer's lies would naturally come to light. By then, they'll come to a realization," comforted someone from the group.
"Sigh! If they're half as capable as Ouyang Qing, I won't have anything to worry about!" Chairman Xu's expression remained gloomy. "How can they not see through such a simple scam? Were they so deeply hypnotized by that kid's words?"
"Chairman, I believe that they'll understand your concerns very soon. Please let it go. Once the autonomous vehicle performance is over, we still have to attend the press conference and give our speech," advised another person from the group.
Chairman Xu nodded and kept quiet.
By then, the sports car was almost done with the second lap and continued to drive at high speed.

Ouyang Qing's beautiful eyes stared intently at the sports car. Her brows formed a faint frown as her heart felt a sense of unease. An ominous feeling crept into her heart.
She could not help but recall Ye Lingchen's warning that the autonomous vehicle technology would fail on the third lap.
However, she took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm. Those words held no weight coming from such a person. She should not be affected by him.
Finally, the sports car finished its second lap and started on the third.
Ouyang Qing's hands balled up tightly as she focused on the sports car's condition. In her eyes, the sports car did not show any hint of malfunction. It continued to zoom forward at a high speed. She watched it as it almost finished the third lap!
'He's really an alarmist!'
Ouyang Qing's lips could not help but curl into a smile. However, before that curl could go away, her eyes narrowed instantly!
All of a sudden, the car skidded around for no reason. The entire car turned to its side, creating screeching noises, yet it showed no signs of slowing down. After that, it moved around like a snake, swirling left and right. Although it was an empty area, the car behaved as though it was trying to avoid some obstacles.
Screech!
The next instant, the sports car started to spin around on the spot. Three left turns, then three right turns, not following any patterns at all.
'This…'
Everyone was dumbfounded. They exchanged glances at each other, obviously confused.
"Could it be that Wanrong Automobile is trying to show us some stunt driving?"
"That's possible! After all, what's so interesting if we just watched the car drive just like that? It's to show off the autonomous driving skills!"
"F*ck, its driving skills are insane! Not only is it done at high speed, it's also doing all those tricks! Autonomous vehicles are amazing!"
"So cool!"
…
Slowly, faced with the sudden change, the cheers from the crowd grew louder as they howled excitedly.
In the next moment, the car was no longer going forward, but instead reversing at high speed, making its way through the runway in reverse.
"This is f*cking amazing! It's driving faster than me. Autonomous vehicles are crazy awesome!"
The cheers from the crowd grew stronger, totally ignoring the smoke coming out from the back of the car.
Chairman Xu and the rest of the higher ups were frowning. Doubt crept into their hearts as they felt uneasy. He could not help but ask, "Niece Ouyang, is this really a stunt driving performance? Did you arrange for this?"
Ouyang Qing did not reply. Panic was evident in her eyes. Her tiny hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling greatly. She could not help but remember the words Ye Lingchen said before he took off. Her face turned white in an instant.
'When the car is on its third lap, the autonomous driving system will lose control. The car will spin in place, then continue moving in reverse. Following that, it will veer off the runway. If you don't want to endanger others, I suggest you disperse the crowd as much as possible'
At that moment, Ye Lingchen's warnings were being confirmed one after another. Next, it would be…
Ouyang Qing's eyes narrowed immediately. She spoke up urgently, "Chairman Xu, please disperse the crowd and have everyone stay away from the runway!"
