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

Chen Feng's wishful thinking was running wild in his mind.

One million!

As long as the Jiang family transfers the money to the account, they can go back to Liu Shao to collect a 500,000 yuan "hardship fee," plus a lucrative and secure job at the Beijing Sports Bureau...

Even if the Jiang or Liu families cause him trouble later, he can simply give up his secure job and leave the country with the money!

Even if I stop running for the rest of my life, I can still live a life of luxury.

Occasionally going to a club to pick up some young models and foreign girls is no problem at all!

Before Jiang Che could even respond to Chen Feng's outrageous demand, Wang Kai, standing beside him, was already flushed with anger: "One million? And the championship? Come on, brother, I've got the money in the bank, you can just go rob a bank!"

Although Su Qinghe, like Jiang Che, did not express her opinion, it did not prevent the chilling coldness that churned in her clear eyes.

Although one million is indeed not even a fraction of what the Jiang family earns, it is still money they have worked hard to earn.

Why should we give this disgusting person's garbage?

Ah Che's money is not to be coveted by outsiders, not even a penny.

Even if Ah Che ultimately compromises and actually gives Chen Feng that million...

She definitely has a hundred ways to make Chen Feng return that million, with interest.

And they wanted to make him and his entire family suffer a fate worse than death.

Even if A-Che gets angry, she'll accept it. At worst, she'll just get a spanking... which is still bearable!

Jiang Che reached out and tugged at Wang Kai's arm, then gently shook his head at Wang Kai's somewhat puzzled gaze.

He then stepped forward, intending to continue walking the mad dog—

But then, the slightly ajar door to the infirmary was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"One million? Chen Feng, you're really asking for the moon. Aren't you afraid of overspending?"

A voice carrying a hint of mockery came in.

Jiang Che looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in military uniform enter, accompanied by a middle-aged fat man with his head down and looking trembling.

Jiang Che was no stranger to this person; to be more precise, he was an acquaintance.

Liu Wei.

Jiang Che frowned slightly, a cold glint appearing in his eyes as he fixed a wary gaze on Liu Wei's face.

He hasn't forgotten what Liu Zhenguo's "good son" had done.

Didn't Liu Zhenguo say he had already sent Liu Wei back to Beijing? How come he's here?

The others were also clearly surprised that Liu Wei would appear here at this time.

Especially Liu Zhenguo, whose already angry expression turned even colder the moment he saw Liu Wei. "Who let you come to Lincheng? Are all my words just empty talk to you now?!"

Liu Wei ignored his father's angry questioning.

Under everyone's gaze, he walked calmly to the center of the crowd, first respectfully calling Liu Zhenguo "Dad" to him, and then his gaze fell on Jiang Che.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Che, I'm sorry you had to go through this today."

After not seeing him for many days, Liu Wei still had that cold and aloof expression on his face, which made people extremely uncomfortable just by looking at him.

"As one of your coaches, I should have spoken to the organizing committee beforehand and asked them to be more careful about your safety."

"I've been busy with things in Beijing lately, and I accidentally forgot about this. So I didn't tell the organizing committee to check in advance, which allowed the scoundrel to sneak into the competition and almost ruined your future."

Liu Zhenguo remained silent with a cold face. He had long been utterly disappointed in his own son, and seeing Liu Wei step forward now, he felt an indescribable sense of unease.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place, but at this moment he suddenly jumped out and gave a long explanation, taking all the blame on himself.

It's completely baffling no matter how you look at it.

Jiang Che also remained silent, simply waiting for Liu Wei to continue.

At that moment, several sports reporters, who had caught wind of the situation, squeezed into the doorway of the infirmary and quietly set up their equipment to start a live broadcast.

Liu Wei caught a glimpse of the camera outside out of the corner of his eye, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips, knowing that the time was ripe.

He then grabbed the timid, middle-aged fat man beside him and shoved him forcefully in front of the crowd.

"Everyone, look closely. Today's farce targeting Jiang Che is not an accident at all!"

Liu Weiyi pointed sternly at the middle-aged fat man, "This man used to run a building materials business in Lincheng. Due to some business disputes, he had a grudge against the Jiang family."

"To get revenge on the Jiang family, they specifically hired a few scoundrels, intending to cripple Jiang Che's legs during today's marathon!"

No sooner had Liu Wei finished speaking than the middle-aged fat man knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly with a mournful face: "I'm so sorry, Young Master Jiang! I was blinded by greed, I hired these people..."

"I'm willing to take all the responsibility, please spare my life!"

Jiang Che frowned as he looked at the fat man on the ground, feeling that something was off.

The fat man continued kowtowing, confessing all his crimes clearly as he kowtowed.

He revealed every detail related to the crime, including the motive, the amount of his commission, and his contact information, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

But the more the middle-aged fat man admitted his mistake, the more Jiang Che felt that there was something fishy about the matter.

Regardless of how much truth and how much lies this fat man spoke, the mastermind behind hiring someone to retaliate due to a business dispute, after being exposed, didn't even offer a single excuse.

Even if you get caught red-handed, there should at least be a period of panic and incoherent speech, right?

The fat man's confession was delivered so quickly and fluently it was almost unbelievable; it was as if he had memorized his lines beforehand and was just going through the motions.

The answer is obvious: this person was someone Liu Wei had arranged in advance to put on an act for him.

Before Jiang Che could think about Liu Wei's purpose in putting on this show, he heard Liu Wei speak again.

"Besides the mastermind behind it all, the people who took action on the track today are also a complete cancer in the sports world."

In front of the reporters' cameras, Liu Wei pulled a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and threw them directly onto the table in the medical room.

"This is evidence that Chen Feng put banned substances in the drinking water of his competitors during last year's provincial championship..."

"This is a money transfer record from two years ago, during a qualifying competition, where he secretly bribed other players to fix matches..."

"There's also a joint letter of complaint alleging that he repeatedly assaulted and bullied younger players at the training base!"

With each sentence Liu Wei spoke, he slammed a document heavily onto the table.

He came very well prepared, with each document stamped or signed to prove its authenticity and enhance its credibility.
