In the VIP room, no one knew what was going on with He Lefeng.
He Dingkun frowned as he said, âWhat is Xiaofeng doing? Is something wrong with his car? Why didnât he inform us?â
He Xiong was clueless too as he stood beside him. âWe didnât hear anything. I donât think there is a problem with the car... Although we donât stand a chance of winning, he shouldnât simply give up.â
âThat rascal!â The old master exploded.
Even though he knew he would lose, he had to finish the race!
He Xiong tuned in to the communication channel to talk to He Lefeng.
On the other side, He Lefeng heard He Xiongâs voice. âHe Lefeng, what are you doing? Why didnât you report that there is something wrong with your car?â
He Lefeng was dumbstruck momentarily before he answered, âUncle, nothing is wrong...â
âNothing is wrong?â He Xiong bellowed once more. âThen why did you stop?â
âItâs... Sister Yan made me stop...â He Lefeng replied awkwardly, as he had no idea why she had made him stop.
âWhat did you say? Lin Yan made you stop?â He Xiong, who was livid, lashed out once more. âWho does she think she is? She made you stop and you just stopped? He Lefeng, is there something wrong with your brain? She knows nothing about racing, yet you listened to her?â
âShut it off. Itâs too noisy!â Lin Yan snapped impatiently.
He Xiong heard Lin Yan on the other side of the line.
âLin Yan, who said you could boss He Lefeng around? You have never touched a steering wheel, yet you are commanding him? Do you really think youâre a navigator?â He Lefeng lashed out.
âArenât you going to switch it off?â Lin Yan eyed He Lefeng.
âOh...â He Lefeng nodded and turned it off promptly.
After he turned off the radio, there was silence again.
Everyone else, including the ZH1 team and Wei Xufeng, could not understand Lin Yanâs decision.
He Lefeng had been fourth and he could have maintained that position. Now, he had gone back to square one...
âWhy did Xiaoyan ask Xiaofeng to stop?â He Dingkun was incensed.
âDad, Iâd already warned you not to let her participate. She doesnât know anything. Xiaofeng could have ended up in fourth place, but she made him stop. Great, now he is in last place. This is a joke!â He Xiong sneered coldly.
...
Zoom!
At the starting point, a rumbling sound was heard.
Lin Yan glanced at the rearview mirror and grinned. âHere they come.â
âWhat is coming?â He Lefeng was confused.
âNumber one and two,â replied Lin Yan curtly.
âThis is their third round, and Iâm on my first...â He Lefeng sighed to himself.
âAccelerate to 40km/h,â Lin Yan instructed him.
âGot it!â He Lefeng immediately got to work.
He Lefengâs car looked as though it was crawling like a snail on the track.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just as the two cars from Old Tangâs team came speeding towards them, Lin Yan used her hand to grab the steering wheel so that their car would block the path.
Suddenly, He Lefengâs silver car adopted a plaster strategy: It stayed close to the two cars and prevented them from advancing.
