This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 109: The Battle Between the Old and New

"Hello everyone, Lost City·Yumeng, I'm here to meet you again!"

"See where I am now?"

A female operator wearing a black jacket and a blue double-helix ponytail was holding a selfie stick and speaking to the audience in the live broadcast room with a lively smile.

"Behind me now is the S-League office building in Jingyun City!"

"There are so many people! Top teams like Flywheel from Kunming in the provincial capital, Hague, and even a team from Kyoto."

Behind her, the crowd bustled and chattered, "Will we have a chance to see the Dark Star contestant? If we do, what would you like to ask?"

Ning Yuan, who was standing by, was holding his cell phone, his head buzzing.

My goodness, all the popularity he had just created after working so hard was snatched away by Yu Meng next door!

Seeing more and more popularity declining, he decisively squeezed into Yu Meng's live broadcast.

"Out-of-towners, do you know what the biggest attraction of this race is? Of course, it's the battle between Tan Tonglu and Zhou Yun, their self-developed running styles!"

"And I, Ning Yuan, happen to have exclusive news! Everyone, just move your hands and click to follow me, and I will tell you the truth!"

Yu Meng clenched her fists. How could someone try to steal someone's popularity like this?
Inside the event group building.

The Jackdaw, who had just finished the race inspection, stood by the handrail on the second floor.

Her eyes swept across the circular hall on the first floor, and then looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the building, her eyes suddenly filled with fear.

"Zhou Yun, there are so many people here, I can't escape..."

Zhou Yun smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that the back door was also blocked, so he couldn't escape.

"The second race will still be a lottery system, with random starting positions." Manager Ye came over, his brow furrowed. "It looks like qualifying will be canceled this year."

"That's good, we'll win in one game." Zhou Yun said with a smile, "Even if I'm unlucky and come in last, so what? I still won the championship."

"It's different. If you get to the back, the danger from the Yuantong Gate will be greater, and..."

Manager Ye lowered his head, walked to the railing and looked at the lobby on the first floor.

On the floor of the hall, there is a huge S-League logo, a man wearing a black and white sportswear, and standing next to him is a girl wearing a black and white sportswear.

Feeling Manager Ye's gaze, he raised his head and glanced in Zhou Yun's direction.

"Silver Lightning, Peng Hui..."

Zhou Yun was about to say something when he saw Tan Tonglu and Qingjue walking towards him.

"I wanted to leave directly, but the back door was also blocked." Tan Tonglu said with a smile: "Qingjue is so annoyed that he wants to hit someone."

"I guess it'll just take a while." Zhou Yun gave a wry smile. "The S-League team should have a plan. I heard you've finished researching your new running method?"

"That's right." Tan Tonglu was a little excited. He wanted to talk more about the process of innovative running methods.

At first, he really thought it would be easy to study a new running method like Zhou Yun.

But after actual operation, we found that this was not the case.

Especially after experiencing resource constraints, limited trials, and difficulty in designing racing accessories, he was actually very grateful for Zhou Yun's advice and wanted to talk about the difficulties in the development process.

At this moment, he was like... a soul-like game of hellish difficulty that he had completed with one life. He wanted to post a circle of friends to show off, but found that none of his friends around him were playing it.

He really wanted to find a like-minded friend to talk to, but when the words came to his lips, his mind changed.

"Remember the seals I left with you? I'll take them all back in the second S game."

Let the racing speak for itself.

Hearing this, Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, then his blood started boiling: "That depends on whether you have the ability."

After saying that, the two men bumped their fists together.

……

"Xiyue, don't be too anxious. The new running method is a good thing."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Wuyang's voice was a little haggard: "You don't have to pay too much attention to what your Uncle Chen (the boss of Guanglun) says. It won't affect whether I come back or not, ahem."

Listening to the slight coughing sound in the microphone, Jiang Xiyue suddenly realized something: her father seemed to be getting older and older.

The omnipotent 'world champion' in her mind could not withstand the erosion of time.

"Guanglun..." She wanted to ask Guanglun how things were going, but when the words came to her lips, she could only say: "Remember to take your medicine on time. I will call Qingluan to supervise you!"

She was just a racing driver, she didn't understand the logic of business operations, and she knew in her heart that her father didn't really understand it either...

Otherwise, it wouldn't be squeezed out like this from inside the light wheel.

"Haha, don't worry, your dad is in good health."

Jiang Wuyang recognized his daughter's tone and said with a smile, "As long as you're still running on the field, everyone will still remember me, Jiang Wuyang, and no one will dare to say anything."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyue felt uneasy. After this S race, the new running method would be on the scene. What would the Light Wheel team think?
Will Nimbus feel betrayed when the 'mascot' develops a mind of his own?

From a racing driver's perspective, speed is everything, but for the Nimbus... it's not just racing drivers who don't think that way.

Jiang Wuyang continued, "But you have to come back quickly after the game, as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiyue became upset and then suppressed it deep in her heart.

"Xiyue, long time no see."

Zhao Wen was wearing an expensive suit and standing in front of Jiang Xiyue.

He skillfully wiped his cufflinks, adjusted his tie, and combed his hair, completing the "three-piece suit of elegance".

The man who has experienced the trial of blood and fire is back!

"You didn't expect that." He leaned against the wall and said with a smile, "We are rivals in this competition."

He figured it out. No wonder he never had anything to talk about with Jiang Xiyue. It turned out that his racing skills were not good enough.

He has made it through the hellish maze of Rhine, and now the brave man who has left the village wants to present a gift to the king!
Xiyue, I will definitely surprise you this time!

"Congratulations." Xiyue suppressed all her worries in her heart and said with a smile: "I wish you good luck in your second S game."

"Xiyue, don't you want to know why I came back to play in the S game?" Zhao Wen said with a smile, "Because I have decided that I want to be a professional racing driver, just like you."

Jiang Xiyue narrowed her eyes: "Professional racing driver? Are you sure?"

"Of course." Zhao Wen said gracefully, "This has been my dream since I was a child..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex rider when you were in junior high?" Jiang Xiyue said with a smile, "I remember you even told your teacher that you wanted to hire an Indian to help you find a dragon."

"I hired that Indian guy, and he's still helping me look for it. He's even found it in Africa."

Zhao Wen was stunned for a moment, then started talking again: "I remember back then, didn't you say you hated racing? I didn't expect you to join Nimbus."

When she was little, Jiang Xiyue always thought that it was racing that made her father unwilling to come home and caused her family to fall apart...

"Zhao Wen, in my opinion, you are not ready to be a professional racing driver at all."

"Besides, your amateur driving skills... well, forget it. Good luck! See you at the racetrack."

Jiang Xiyue sighed, turned around and left.

……

Downstairs, Li Zhechen sat on a bench, feeling like he was going crazy. Didn't we agree to break her legs and kidnap her?

Why are all the Jingyun mounted police here? The authorities also announced that the criminals were so heinous that they dared to attack the "Jingyun hero"...

This clearly shows that they are trying to protect Zhou Yun, and it will be difficult to attack outside the field next time.

There was a thumping sound of crutches, followed by Chen Shanhe's voice: "I heard that your Leishan Machinery is about to collapse. Do you want me to help you?"

Hearing this, Li Zhechen was furious.

Who on earth was it! Who reported him? The report went straight to the provincial capital, with every detail accurate. Investigation teams arrived one after another, forcing his factory to close.

Which traitor betrayed him?
"Chen Shanhe, you are really good at this." Li Zhechen snorted coldly.

He would never have guessed that this was a serious agent who, based on his confession, had found out bit by bit, and submitted more than a thousand letters in three days...

"Haha, I didn't do this, but it feels really good."

Chen Shanhe smiled and said, "This is called evil deeds will be punished. If you want to swallow my Chi Yue, you are still far away."

"What's the saying about evildoers getting evil consequences? Haven't you also schemed against others?"

"So you became my retribution."

Chen Shanhe took out a box of tea from his pocket and gave it to Li Zhechen: "I hope you have a good journey after the second game. I will drive you out of Jingyun."

"..."

Looking at Chen Shanhe's leaving back, Li Zhechen took a deep breath.

The basic situation has collapsed, and he has no way to retreat. If he doesn't move forward, he will die.

Treating Zhou Yun to a meal and beheading him have all failed, and accepting him as a dog is even more wishful thinking.

Those who followed him have now become fence-sitters, and some have turned to Chen Shanhe. The empire is about to collapse... Thinking of this, he sent a message to Park Gui.

It can’t be delayed until the S game.

"No need to wait, let's do it now."

In the middle of the hall, Peng Hui looked at the crowd, holding the hand of the girl next to him, with complicated thoughts.

He was banned for three years, and almost no one remembered him as 'Silver Lightning'.

The master is right.

When does a racing driver retire? No one knows, but new drivers will tell you.

"How's it going, Brother?" Park Gui walked over with a smile. "How does it feel to be back in the S-League?"

"After you got into trouble, no club was willing to take you in. This is an opportunity I worked so hard to get..."

Peng Hui knew his junior's temperament very well and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, I'll give you a share of the bonus when the time comes."

"I'm helpless too. You know, my robot girl is a money-eating beast."

Pu Gui said with some emotion: "This time, we brothers set out from Jingyun City, then competed in the national competition, and then went to the world competition, so that the name of Silver Lightning would shock the S7!"

Peng Hui gave a bitter laugh and said, "Stop talking big. Let's get through this first."

"Boss Li just got a job." Pu Gui took out her phone, handed it to Peng Hui, and asked, "Want to do it?"

Li Zhechen wanted to get rid of Chen Shanhe's new Chiyue before the S game, so that those fence-sitters in Chiyue would calm down and consolidate their base.

Pu Gui understood these things at a glance: "We can earn a lot more from this job, Li Zhechen is willing to give it to us."

"You are obsessed with money...Okay, how do we do it?" Peng Hui asked.

Park Gui pointed out the window and said, "There are so many media outlets here now. We can force Tan Tonglu and the others to take on a private battle and directly eliminate Xin Chiyue."

Peng Hui frowned and began to think.

After a while, the race team announced that the back door had been cleared and the drivers could exit in an orderly manner.

Anyone willing to be interviewed can also go out through the front door.

After hearing the news, everyone in each team breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to arrange for the drivers to evacuate.

Just then, Peng Hui opened the front door.

"Media friend over there, can you lend me your microphone?"

"Thank you."

After getting the microphone, Peng Hui also got a set of loudspeakers, and then he tested the sound.

"Hello, hello, is Tan Tonglu here? The guy who got entrapped?"

This voice resounded throughout the entire first-floor hall, and many drivers immediately turned their heads to look. Hearing his name being called, Tan Tonglu came to the handrail on the second floor and looked down.

Outside a door, various media outlets also heard the voice, became excited, and looked towards the venue.

"Three years have passed. I wonder if you still remember my name?"

Peng Hui stood in the center of the first floor hall and said calmly, "I never thought that I, Silver Lightning, would inherit the position of a piece of trash like you."

For a moment, all eyes turned to Tan Tonglu.

This is a provocation straight in the face!

Having said that, with so many people watching, it would be embarrassing for Tan Tonglu not to fight back.

"Why, I've said so much, why don't you react at all?"

Tan Tonglu took a deep breath and said, "If you feel that this position is unfair to you, you can leave. As for whether I am trash or not, we will see the result on the field."

Peng Hui spoke in a calm tone, saying very irritating words.

"I heard that after you were defeated by Zhou Yun, you hid in your room and cried. The Chiyue Club got tired of your crying and fired you."

"Then you went back to your mother crying, saying you wanted to set up a new Chiyue to get revenge on your old boss, and that's why you started the team."

"The new Chiyue... it's hilarious. You made the right choice by opening the Chiyue. You don't deserve it at all."

"If you ask me, why did you go to such great lengths to get into the S-League?"

"Look at the kind of teammates you've got? A free-scoring kid, a perennial benchwarmer, haha." He looked at Tan Tonglu, "Instead of waiting until the S-League, why not do it now? The venue, the format, you decide. Do you dare? Coward?"

Tan Tonglu suddenly felt a surge of anger burning in his heart.

Indeed, the new running style and the new system have just come out, and he needs to find a strong person to test it out.

But he remembered Chen Shanhe's instructions and endured it.

Hold on until the S-League, first help Uncle Chen's new Chiyue gain a foothold, then...

"Okay, we'll take this battle."

Chen Shanhe tapped his crutch and looked at Li Zhechen. He knew very well what Li Zhechen wanted to do.

But now he has a reason to accept the challenge. Since he doesn't want to drag it on until the S game, let's solve it now.

Hearing Chen Shanhe say this, Tan Tonglu nodded.

"This afternoon, at Firefly Raceway, bring your teammates."
