You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Although he was mentally prepared before going onto the track, when he was actually being closely followed by three provincial team professional drivers on the track, the invisible pressure still made him feel a layer of cold sweat seeping out from his back.

No, we absolutely cannot give these mad dogs any chance to get close!

The next ten kilometers or so were an agonizing psychological tug-of-war for Jiang Che.

If Chen Feng and his two companions quickened their pace even slightly and tried to flank them from both sides, Jiang Che would immediately force a lane change.

Or grit your teeth and speed up, creating a safe distance of at least two or three meters between yourself and them.

Whether in front, behind, left, or right, Jiang Che firmly maintained a vacuum buffer zone, giving them absolutely no space to trip or shove.

Time passed by, and the competition was soon halfway through.

What Jiang Che found somewhat strange was that although Chen Feng and the other two had been sticking to him closely, they did not seem to immediately make any extreme moves.

It's like... they really are just a group of ordinary competitors, just trying to keep up with the pace of the top team.

not right...

What are these three people waiting for?

Because he needed to constantly be distracted by the movements of the three people behind him, Jiang Che's long-maintained regular breathing rhythm inevitably became disordered.

In a marathon, the worst thing you can do is get distracted and disrupt your rhythm.

"Huff... huff..."

Jiang Che felt as if a fire was burning in his chest, and a strong dryness gradually spread in his throat.

The once light and nimble steps began to become increasingly heavy.

The muscles in my thighs were also experiencing waves of soreness and weakness due to the rapid buildup of lactic acid.

The pace gradually dropped.

Jiang Che could only watch helplessly as his initial lead was gradually eroded, and his speed slowly declined.

This feeling of powerlessness made him extremely anxious, but he was helpless and could only grit his teeth and use all his strength to prevent the remaining speed from decreasing further.

Soon, the race reached the uphill section after 30 kilometers.

The number of spectators on both sides of the track gradually decreased, and the track surface became somewhat uneven due to its location on the edge of the city.

Chen Feng, who had been following closely behind like a hunting dog, keenly noticed a slight disorder in Jiang Che's steps.

A cruel and smug sneer immediately appeared on his face.

Chen Feng turned his head slightly and exchanged a glance with his two accomplices beside him.

Now's the time to act!

Chen Feng shouted excitedly in his heart, his facial muscles twitching slightly with greed.

Five hundred thousand, plus a lucrative position at the Beijing Sports Bureau, are about to be in my hands!

The three of them instantly changed their formation, forming a semi-encircling triangular shape. They began to silently accelerate and approach Jiang Che, attempting to force him towards the deep drainage ditch at the edge of the track.

According to Liu Wei's plan, they only needed to trip Jiang Che's ankle slightly in this spot, and the mission would be complete.

Jiang Che also noticed Chen Feng and the others approaching. He gritted his teeth and tried to speed up and break free, but his legs were too heavy to obey him.

Just then, Chen Feng seized the opportunity and suddenly changed his stance—

Immediately, his entire body seemed to lose its balance suddenly. Seemingly unintentional, but actually carrying a huge force, he fell heavily towards Jiang Che's right leg!

If the impact is solid, Jiang Che will definitely lose his balance and fly off the track while running at high speed, landing on his knees and ankles, the most vulnerable joints.

At such a high speed, let alone whether this kid can finish the race, even if he doesn't end up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he can forget about ever stepping onto the track again!

Jiang Che's eyes twitched violently as he watched Chen Feng rushing towards him, and he felt a sense of foreboding.

Seeing that Chen Feng was only a few dozen centimeters away from Jiang Che, at this critical moment—

"Buzzing—"

Suddenly, a buzzing sound from a propeller came from above their heads!

The sound came so suddenly that it startled Chen Feng and his two companions, who were fully focused on preparing to strike.

Chen Feng subconsciously looked up and saw two high-definition broadcast drones with official event logos hovering steadily less than ten meters above their heads!

Two large, high-definition cameras are flashing red lights, indicating that the machine is currently recording.

It was like two cold, emotionless eyes staring intently at the leading group of runners.

Holy crap!

Chen Feng roared inwardly. His foot, which had been halfway out to trip him, twisted awkwardly in mid-air as if electrocuted, and was forcibly pulled back.

At the same time, a layer of cold sweat uncontrollably seeped out from his forehead.

What the hell is going on here?!

Are you kidding me! Why did this drone have to come at this crucial moment of all times?!

Chen Feng gritted his teeth so hard that the muscles in his cheeks almost bulged out, and his eyes were filled with deep resentment and fear.

He knew better than anyone else that this was a national-level marathon event!

At this moment, the drone footage was broadcast live to major sports channels and online platforms, meaning that hundreds of millions of eyes across the internet were watching!

If he dared to do something shady to cripple Jiang Che in front of everyone and such high-definition cameras...

The consequences were simply beyond his ability to bear!

Not to mention that he will be immediately disqualified from the competition and stripped of his national athlete title, this kind of egregious act of intentional injury alone is enough to send him to work as a sewing machine for several years!

Not to mention that Jiang Che has the powerful Jiang family behind him, and the terrifying military region commander-in-chief Liu Zhenguo!

If he really did make a move on camera, the Jiang family would definitely make sure he died a horrible death.

Don't be fooled by Liu Wei's seemingly generous nature; he treats things like 500,000 yuan and a job at the Beijing Sports Bureau as if it's all just a matter of a word.

But if Chen Feng had been so naive as to believe Liu Wei, he would never have survived to this day unscathed.

He was certain that once this matter was exposed and Liu Wei was implicated, he would ruthlessly push him out as a scapegoat!

"Damn it...you're lucky, kid!"

Chen Feng cursed inwardly, but could only suppress his murderous intent. He reluctantly distanced himself from his two accomplices, pretending to be an honest and unassuming competitor, and continued to run forward miserably.
