The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 252 The Battle of the Racing Gods
"Are you convinced?"

Liao Chengzhi nodded vigorously: "I'm convinced! I'm truly convinced! I was blind to your greatness, I was petty and narrow-minded, it's all my fault. Mr. Lin, if you want to punish me, I'll accept it!"

Lin Chen was too lazy to argue with Liao Chengzhi. Everyone else had already knelt down and admitted defeat so cleanly. Besides, Liao Chengzhi was someone who worked in the pharmaceutical factory area. If the pharmaceutical factory had any problems in the future, they might need his help to manage things. After all, local bigwigs can be very useful sometimes.

"Fuck off!"

Liao Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes showed an expression of unbelievable surprise. They were letting him go like that?
Without breaking one of your own arms or legs or anything?

Why not squeeze a hefty compensation fee out of yourself?

Liao Chengzhi stood up, but felt uneasy. He took two tentative steps, then turned his head cautiously and asked, "Mr. Lin, shall I be leaving now?"

Lin Chen sneered: "You don't want to leave, do you? Then stay and kneel here."

"No, no, I just wanted to see if Mr. Lin had any other instructions."

Liao Chengzhi quickly begged for mercy: "Mr. Lin, you are very generous. I will leave now and thank you another day."

Liao Chengzhi turned around and ran away quickly, fearing that Lin Chen would really leave him kneeling there.

Zuo Yingying looked at Lin Chen with a smile: "Why did you just let him go like that?"

Lin Chen replied simply, "The local bullies around the pharmaceutical factory area might still be useful. Besides, they've already knelt down. It's not like we have a life-or-death feud. If I were to cut off their hands or feet, wouldn't that make me seem petty?"

Zuo Yingying smiled and said, "You understand human relationships very well. If you let him off the hook today, he will definitely follow your lead in the future. Some things can't be solved with fists, but people like them are very effective."

Lin Chen shrugged and smiled, "Yes... let's go."

Zuo Yingying and Lin Chen walked out side by side: "Aren't you afraid of offending the Xu family?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Whether I offend someone or not often depends not on me, but on the other party. If what the other party wants is for me to bow down and humbly fawn over them, then so be it if I offend them. Do you think I'm afraid of someone wearing shoes when I have nothing to lose?"

Zuo Yingying patted her chest, looking scared: "Should I be glad I didn't offend you?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If people treat me equally, I will naturally treat others equally. So sometimes, instead of just blaming others for not treating you well, you should think about how you treat others."

Zuo Yingying chuckled: "That's because you have the ability to speak with anyone on an equal footing."

Lin Chen laughed: "Reading is for calmly talking to idiots, while cultivation is for idiots to calmly talk to themselves."

Zuo Yingying was amused and pinched Lin Chen, saying, "Stop joking around, you're making me laugh to death." The two returned to the bustling area outside, where all sorts of cars were parked along the edge of the huge open space. A large screen had been erected next to them, and suddenly a light flashed on the screen, revealing an image.

The large screen was divided in two. On the left was a half-length portrait of Xu Bin, with a resolute gaze and handsome face. On the right was a thin middle-aged man who looked somewhat unremarkable.

Below the photo of the middle-aged man is an introduction: Sun Lei, known as the "Wilderness Car God," has won the National Mountain Off-Road Championship three times. His specialty is speeding through the bends of the mountains.

Lin Chen wasn't particularly interested in racing, and he didn't have much of an opinion about Sun Lei either. But suddenly a huge commotion erupted in the crowd, with whistles, screams, and cheers rising and falling.

"Wilderness racing legend, this is going to be a show tonight!"

"Young Master Xu has finally met his match!"

"Young Master Xu is very skilled, but he's probably still a bit behind the Wilderness Racing God. I wonder what the betting odds are today?"

"I'm buying Sun Lei's ticket, he's my idol!"

"I'm still betting on Young Master Xu. Just based on his undefeated record on this path, I'll trust him one more time!"

Zuo Yingying also looked surprised: "Lu Feng is really generous, inviting Sun Lei here. I wonder how much it cost."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's just a driver and a race. When it comes to a project worth billions, price is not an issue. I reckon there should be two prices: one for winning and one for losing."

Zuo Yingying laughed and said, "Isn't that to be expected? Besides, the prices will vary a lot. We're here to compete for money, so if we can't go all out, we've already lost before the competition even starts."

As they spoke, a row of red numbers appeared at the bottom of the screen.

Xu Bin's score is displayed as "1:1.3", while Sun Lei's score is displayed as "1:2.5".

Lin Chen laughed and said, "These are the odds? The bookmaker is probably Young Master Xu himself. He's very confident in his driving skills."

Zuo Yingying asked, "Yes, he set up the betting pool, and you're not placing any bets, right?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I'm not familiar with either of them. I'm not going to leave it to fate. Are you going to take a gamble?"

Before Zuo Yingying could answer, Xu Meiling's voice rang out from behind: "Zuo Yingying, how about we make a bet? Let's bet one-on-one?"
