This time, however, Jiang Yunchuan wasn’t in the mood.
“You go ahead and race. I’ll just watch you play.”
Yan Yidan changed into her leather jacket and raised an eyebrow at him: “Are you sure?”
“Yeah. I’m not in the mood.”
“Suit yourself.”
Yan Yidan put on her helmet and protective gear and got into her personal race car.
This racing competition was organized by a wealthy man who was passionate about the sport. He wanted to select the three best racers from among a hundred competitors and award them generous prizes.
First place: 500,000; second place: 200,000; third place: 100,000.
There were only three rankings.
Yan Yidan wanted to win first place.
Jiang Yunchuan was just there to keep her company and didn’t care about rankings.
This competition was a 50-to-20 elimination round.
Of the fifty racers who made it through, only twenty qualified.
Then came the round of 20 to 10.
Then 10 to 8.
Then 8 to 6.
Then 6 to 4.
Finally, these four contestants would determine the first, second, and third-place winners.
The wealthy man would personally come out to present the prize money.
There were many people at the scene, including many wealthy young men. Many recognized Jiang Yunchuan, but none recognized Yan Yidan.
After all, she had only recently come down from the mountain, and not many people had seen her before.
Several wealthy young men tried to strike up a conversation with him.
At first, Jiang Yunchuan could manage to answer a couple of questions, but eventually, annoyed by their questions, he lost his temper and told them to go away.
They left dejectedly.
Jiang Yunchuan then found a quiet corner to contemplate life.
He looked up at the corner and saw a shadowy figure lurking around.
Jiang Yunchuan frowned at first, then stared intently, his eyes widening as he rubbed them uncertainly.
Good heavens!
How did he see Nan Nan’s adopted younger brother, Ji Ze?!
That’s not right.
How could Ji Ze, a high school student, possibly come to such a mixed and chaotic place?
He approached and confirmed that it really was Ji Ze.
He wore a hat and hid in the crowd, watching the races and cheering along with the crowd.
A racing fan?
Jiang Yunchuan was somewhat puzzled and confused.
This place required a rigorous selection process to get in, either through connections or by being a certified second-generation wealthy kid.
The organizer’s surname was Ke; they were originally from China, but later immigrated overseas and only returned in the last two years. They also had businesses in Beijing.
Logically speaking, a kid from an ordinary family like Ji Ze shouldn’t be able to get into this kind of place.
He didn’t greet Ji Ze, nor did he tell Jiang Nanshu about Ji Ze’s situation; instead, he observed from the shadows.
When Yan Yidan finished her lap, she impressively won first place in the race.
When she reached Jiang Yunchuan, he didn’t even react.
Following his gaze, Yan Yidan also saw the child.
Ji Ze was someone whom she had arranged to be there. Later, he would accompany this group of rich kids to an underground establishment to film their obscene drug use. Yan Yidan was going to hand them over to the police so that this group of cancerous tumors could be eradicated.
It was just a pity.
This group, surnamed Ke, had decisively immigrated after that incident, thus escaping Chinese law.
Yan Yidan lowered her eyes.
Even if you immigrate, you have to pay the price. Bad people can’t get away with it, while good people are killed and buried in the ground. That’s not fair.
She exhaled softly, her smile returning to its gentle warmth, and patted Jiang Yunchuan’s shoulder: “Yunchuan, what are you looking at? You seem so engrossed.”
Jiang Yunchuan was startled. After regaining his senses, he looked around and then pulled Yan Yidan aside. Yan Yidan was the only person he trusted here.
He gestured slightly with his chin for Yan Yidan to see, his voice low: “Do you see that child?”
Yan Yidan’s eyes flickered: “Yes, what’s wrong with him? He’s quite young, probably a kid who came here with his parents to watch the competition.”
“No.”
Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes revealed a hint of worry: “He’s Nan Nan’s younger brother. I want to find out what he’s doing here! It’s too dangerous!”
Yan Yidan: “…”
