"Now all the racers have gathered," Old Li announced, glancing at Su Xuan and Fang Chao. "Let’s all watch the replay! Speak up now if you have any objections." He then pressed the playback button. To save time, the video played at an increased speed. "Why the hell are we still watching this!" Fang Chao exclaimed, sitting on a portable chair with his legs crossed, a look of pure indignation on his face. "This time it was purely my bad luck!" But he still glanced at the monitor from time to time, wanting to see the footage of his incredibly cool cornering. As he watched, however, his eyes widened in disbelief. It wasn’t just him; Han Shanchi’s eyes widened in shock as well. They were stunned to see that during the race, Su Xuan was either eating, playing with his kid, or letting the kid play with him. His behavior didn’t look at all like he was in a competition. It genuinely looked like he was just out on a family trip. The scene of him holding the steering wheel with one hand while munching on an apple was so effortlessly cool that it left them utterly speechless. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥 "For fuck’s sake!" Fang Chao cursed under his breath, rubbing his face forcefully. He and Han Shanchi had been giving it their all throughout the entire race, yet Su Xuan had just been messing around the whole time. He hadn’t taken them seriously at all. And despite all that, the man still won. How infuriating is this? I really want to cry! I feel like squatting on the ground and sobbing my heart out! A little while later, the footage showed Fang Chao getting rammed into a deep ditch by the flock of sheep. He immediately turned his face away in embarrassment. He regretted it bitterly! If only he’d known how terrifying those sheep were, he would’ve just waited obediently by Su Xuan’s side! Why did he have to go and provoke them? Perhaps the scene was just too funny, because one of his underlings couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Fang Chao shot up and kicked the guy. Laughing at what! If you were the one facing that crazy, terrifying scene, you’d probably be scared shitless... Ah. Fang Chao glanced at Han Shanchi. Then again, someone here had already shit his pants. By now, his pants had probably dried. "Teacher, honestly, we’re lucky to have made it back alive!" Fang Chao whispered to Han Shanchi. "If the heavens hadn’t suddenly shown mercy and made those goats scatter, we would’ve been smashed into dumpling filling!" "You’re right about that!" Recalling the perilous moment, Han Shanchi nodded in solemn agreement. "We must find some time to buy incense and offerings. We’ll set them up by the roadside to thank the Heavens, the local Earth God, the Mountain Deity..." He was cut off by the people around him. "It’s starting, it’s starting!" "The little guy’s about to show his superpower!" Many people in the crowd suddenly grew excited, all pointing at the monitor. With a hint of confusion, Fang Chao and Han Shanchi focused their gazes on the screen. To their astonishment, they saw Shi Yazi conversing with a robust goat. It seemed they reached some sort of agreement, because the goat let out a cry, and the flock that had been attacking them immediately withdrew. They were even more shocked to see the bizarre scene of Shi Yazi giving the goat fruit as a reward. "He... he can talk to goats!" "We owe him our lives!" Understanding dawned on Fang Chao and Han Shanchi. They immediately stood up, looking for Shi Yazi. They finally understood why their own people were so respectful toward Su Xuan’s group. It wasn’t Su Xuan they respected, but Shi Yazi. "Big Brother, the ants here are as big as the ones in Pig Head Ditch!" "Do you know why they’re so big?" "Because these ants ran all the way from Pig Head Ditch to find us." "No way! That’s so far!" "Yes, they can. It’s because they all have a pair of invisible wings that let them fly..." At that moment, Shi Yazi was squatting in a corner of the awning with his sister, teasing the ants on the ground with a small stick. Their conversation was incomprehensible to ordinary people. Those who could understand were no ordinary folk, but the kind of incredible people who always read the official release, always vote for it, and even toss a tip to the long-suffering author. "Ahem, ahem!" As the referee, Old Li coughed twice and said to Fang Chao and Han Shanchi, "If you want to thank someone, thank that child. There’s no need to thank any Earth God or Mountain Deity." "Forget it, forget it..." Fang Chao and Han Shanchi waved their hands, looking embarrassed. Their reaction was so pathetic that even their own men couldn’t watch anymore. Meanwhile, Cen Haonan’s crew were rolling up their sleeves, looking ready for a fight. They had seen plenty of ungrateful people, but never anyone this shameless. "So you’re not going to thank him, is that it?" Old Li’s brow furrowed. "Fine. Let’s get back on track. We’ve watched the replay. Are there any objections? If not, I’m going to announce the results of the race!" No one said a word. While the race seemed full of twists and surprises, the result was actually simple and clear. Even a fool could tell who had won. "I have an objection!" Just as Old Li was about to announce the winner, a middle-aged man in a luxurious suit and polished leather shoes walked in. The man had a commanding presence, and as soon as he entered, his cold, sharp gaze landed on Fang Chao. Seeing the man, Fang Chao couldn’t help but shiver. He snapped to attention and said, "Dad! What are you doing here?!" Without a word, the man swung his large palm and slapped Fang Chao hard across the face. "I gave you a hundred million to start a car dealership! And you brought the business all the way to Qiu Feng Mountain! You nearly got yourself killed! You’re really something, aren’t you, Fang Chao? Even more impressive than your old man!" Then, the man pointed at Fang Chao’s nose and began to berate him. Fang Chao clutched his face, not daring to utter a single word. Han Shanchi also began to act strangely. He took a few steps back, pretending not to know Fang Chao. It was because Fang Chao was the only son. His father detested that he engaged in a dangerous sport like racing. If anything happened to him, their family line would be finished. Han Shanchi had been teaching Fang Chao in secret, without his father’s knowledge. Only Old Li, the referee, remained calm, as if he had known all along that the man would show up. "Fang Chao, come on. Repeat back to me what I told you before," the man said when his son remained silent. He raised his hand and knocked twice on Fang Chao’s head. Fang Chao stammered, "You said that as long as I didn’t race, you’d support me in anything else I wanted to do." "That’s right, so you do remember," his father said. "You told me you were done with racing and wanted to open a car dealership, so I gave you a hundred million. And what are you doing now?" Fang Chao glanced at Cen Haonan, too scared to speak. His father kicked him again in a fit of anger and snarled, "From now on, you are forbidden from touching anything related to cars! Go and study how to take over the family business!" After saying his piece, the man suddenly turned to Su Xuan with a polite expression. He pointed at Shi Yazi and asked, "Sir, is this child your son? On behalf of my own son, I’d like to thank yours..."
