The Artisan's Soul of Zero Bay

Seven years ago, at the seventh hairpin turn of Wangyue Mountain, a silver-gray Porsche closed in from the rearview mirror. Hu Jun survived, but his parents never made it down the mountain, and his left arm lost most of its feeling from then on. The police said it was just a single-vehicle accident. But he remembered that Porsche 911 Turbo S, remembered the brake master cylinder his father had just replaced, and remembered even more clearly how, right around the time of the crash, every light in all of Zero Bay went out at once—and then came back on at once. For seven years, he started out washing parts at an auto repair shop, fixing wrecked cars again and again, and putting himself back behind the steering wheel as well. Then the mysterious driver Gu Yan delivered a silver BMW M4, and he finally had the qualification to return to the mountain roads. He modified the car to matte gray, named it "Grey Colt," and broke into the night-road racing league secretly run by the "Bell Tower." Here, every victory may already have been written; every driver may be a pawn on someone else's table. What Hu Jun wants is not a trophy. He wants the car that vanished from the accident records, the truth erased seven years ago, and on Shen Lie's proudest track, to use his own line to win back the life his father was never given a clear account of. But when that familiar flat-six engine roars again, he discovers that the secret in Blood Bend is far deeper than revenge. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Artisan's Soul of Zero Bay — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
