991 Country D’s Best Racer

Zi Yi took a step back and looked intently at the tall man in front of her. Even though she could not recognize his face, his eyes looked very familiar.

She thought about where she could have possibly seen him.

The man in front of her glanced at her, veered his eyes away, and proceeded to walk past her.

When he walked over, Zi Yi reached her hand out to block him.

“Miss Zi, please give way.”

The man had a deep husky voice making him sound very sexy and attractive.

Zi Yi looked at his profile in an attempt to establish whether he was wearing a mask or not.

She asked casually, “You must be Country D’s trump card, right?”

The man looked at her with his head slightly lowered, but there was hardly any expression on his face. “That’s right.”

Zi Yi did not pull her hand back and give way. Instead, she commented, “You look a little familiar.”

“Miss Zi, you are mistaken. It is my first time in the country.”

“Hmph! I might have found you familiar, but I didn’t say anything about seeing you here, right?”

The man looked at Zi Yi. It was clear from his expression he felt she was being unreasonable. “No, I have never seen you before.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he went around Zi Yi’s outreached hand and walked off.

Zi Yi turned around and looked at him from behind. She suddenly said, “Runge.”

The man did not stop and seemed as though he did not hear her. After entering the room, the door closed with a thud.

Zi Yi pondered standing there. She retrieved her phone and called the lounge belonging to Country D. Also, she happened to see one more team member enter the room.

“Senna, where have you been?”

“The bathroom.”

“I see. We have 30 minutes more before the race starts. Very soon, people will start placing bets. We were talking about who people might place bets on.”

Someone else said, “I think Miss Zi’s husband will place a bet on her club to win. When the time comes, we just need to do the same for our team. I’m confident we’ll get champion this time around.”

Senna said nothing. He walked to the corner, sat down, took out his phone, and started playing with it.

Zi Yi accessed his phone and discovered he was surprisingly playing video games.

The game was quite a hit in Europe recently. Zi Yi took a look at the game. He had shockingly cleared 99 levels out of 100.

“From the looks of it, I was overthinking it. Runge would never play video games,” Zi Yi muttered to herself as she put away her phone and continued walking.

Shortly after, her phone rang.

A manager from Country L was calling her.

The manager cut to the chase asking where she was and saying that he wanted to talk to her.

Zi Yi’s lips curved upward. She knew the manager from Country L wanted to work with her.

After giving the manager a location to meet her at, she placed her phone into her pocket and turned to head there.

When she got to Team D’s lounge area, the door opened.

Senna surprisingly stepped out.

The moment he saw Zi Yi, he looked at her expressionlessly.

Zi Yi glanced at him and said in annoyance, “Why are you looking at me that way? I was just passing by.”

Zi Yi left after she said her piece.

The robot had already brought the manager from Country L to a secluded location. When she got there, she said casually, “Why did you want to see me?”

The manager looked at her with complicated emotions running through his heart. He asked, “Miss Zi, does your previous offer still stand? If we agree to come in last during the race, will you give us the car modification tech?”

Zi Yi nodded. “Yes, the offer still stands.”

The manager exhaled in relief. He promptly smiled with his pearly white teeth showing. “In that case, my team would like to take up the offer.”

“Your team? Did they agree to this?” Zi Yi reminded him. “Your word alone doesn’t count for much. You need full consensus from everyone. I don’t want anyone threatening to rat me out.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Zi. Everyone on my team has agreed to it. Everyone is just here to watch your team race really. We know we’re not going to win anyway. Since we can’t get the title of champion, it doesn’t hurt to come in last.”

Zi Yi suddenly felt a little impressed by the team. She smiled and said, “In that case, let them know if they can come in last, you will be the first people that I share knowledge about the car modification technology with. Also, I won’t charge you for it.”

The manager from Country L nodded in delight. “Okay then. I will let them know right away.”

The manager from Country L then turned and left.

Zi Yi stood where she was and smiled. She took out her phone and called Lu Jingye.

After Lu Jingye answered the phone, she said quickly, “Ah Jing, we need to make a bet for Country L to come in last in a minute.”

The moment he heard what she said, Lu Jingye smiled and asked, “What did you do?”

Zi Yi giggled and said, “Wouldn’t this make things more interesting? If everyone bets on my team, it would be so boring, right?”

Lu Jingye agreed with her. “Ok.”

After hanging up the phone, Zi Yi received a text message from Shadow. [Master, the man from earlier is following you.]

Zi Yi put away her phone. She slowly walked off in the direction Shadow had mentioned. When she got to the spot, sure enough, the man was standing there motionlessly.

“Were you eavesdropping on my conversation?” Zi Yi narrowed her eyes looking at the man.

Senna said with a stiff expression on his face. “I didn’t expect Boss Zi to be blatantly involved in shady deals.”

Zi Yi laughed. After laughing, she raised her hand and pointed it at him. “See this in my hand?”

The man looked at the silver needle in her hand and looked a little intimidated. “What are you trying to do?”

“Kill you so that you can’t tell anyone about my plans. Isn’t it obvious enough?”

The moment she finished her sentence, Zi Yi fired a silver needle at him at the flick of her wrist.

Senna was unexpectedly faster than her and managed to dodge the silver needle shooting at him.

A gleam swept across Zi Yi’s eyes as she looked at him.

With a flick of her wrist, she threw lots of silver needles at him.

This time, Senna bent backward, supporting himself with his hands. He proceeded to jump hard and came back up again.

He surprisingly managed to avoid every single attack.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Zi Yi clapped her hands and smiled as she said, “Not bad. Not bad at all. From the looks of it, you’re Country D’s trump card.”

She walked up in front of him and looked into his stern eyes. “Why don’t we make a bet? If you come in first, I’ll accede to a single request. If you lose… Hmmm… I don’t know what I want yet, so let’s wait and see.”

“Deal.”

“Deal.”

“Ok.”

Senna turned and left.

Zi Yi said from behind, “You are not allowed to tell anyone about Country L coming in last.”

The man acknowledged her after walking five to six meters away before he quickened his pace and walked off.

Zi Yi looked at him from behind. She took out her phone and sent Lu Jingye a text message.

Zi Yi: [Ah Jing, set up a bet for Senna from Team D as well. Bet for him to win.]

Lu Jingye: [Ok.]

After some mysterious bigshot posted a bet online, the internet exploded.

“Sure enough, you can do anything you want as long as you have money. The guy posted bets for a hundred million each.”

“What’s more, one of the bets is for the person coming in first while the other is for the one coming in last.”

“Who else would come in first, right? I am sure it will be Miss Zi’s Team; Futuristic.”
