Night Rose

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, his brows still furrowed, full of lingering fear, "I'm not leaving."

Wang Tianle patted his back like he was coaxing a child, and it actually worked. His pounding heart calmed down and slowly returned to a normal heartbeat.

Wang Tianle relayed their situation to Su Jin and the others. Upon hearing that her grandfather was in the park, Su Jin nodded subconsciously. Then, realizing they were on the phone and couldn't see each other, she quickly asked, "How is Zhou Zheng? Can he go? If not, then forget it."

"Yes, tell her not to worry," Zhou Zheng said in a low voice.

Wang Tianle relayed the information truthfully, and a sigh of admiration came from Su Jin's side. Tu Ying almost felt her heart explode along with Zhou Zheng's.

"Thank God, we're safe and sound!" Tu Ying almost knelt down; his young heart was about to give out.

He needs a good rest after this match! Zhou Zheng has to make it up to him!

"It's good that you're alright. Try to get back to a good mindset as soon as possible and don't let your emotions get too volatile. Be careful when you drive and don't act impulsively, okay?" Su Jin carefully instructed.

"I know," Zhou Zheng replied.

Su Jin was still worried, so she put the computer aside and said, "Boss Tu, you stay here, I'm going to check on Zhou Zheng."

Tu Ying was already terrified. He didn't dare see Zhou Zheng anymore, afraid he would have a nervous breakdown. He quickly waved his hand, "Go, go, I'll guard you!"

Su Jin jogged to the exit, where Zhou Zheng was sitting alone, resting. He was lowering his head slightly, adjusting his breathing rate using the breathing method she had taught him.

Hearing footsteps, he assumed it was Wang Tianle returning. "Little Fatty, you're here so fast..."

Zhou Zheng abruptly stood up, pulled Su Jin into his blind spot, and frowned, "Why are you here? The competition is about to start, you..."

"Of course I had to come. With something this big happening, I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't see you." Su Jin hugged him tightly. Through their racing suits, their embrace seemed clumsy yet precious.

Zhou Zheng kissed the top of her head. "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

Su Jin shook her head vigorously, "What's the big deal? It's your upcoming competition that's worrying. You've just experienced such a big emotional rollercoaster, and now you have to compete again. I'm afraid..."

"Nothing will happen, I promise!" Zhou Zheng held up a finger, looking very serious.

Su Jin held his hand, a slight unease creeping into her heart. "Zhou Zheng, you must come back safely."

"must."

The indigo-blue race car attracted countless eyes when it appeared on the track.

The audience cheered, calling their team a dark horse.

At present, their chances of winning the championship are very high. This winning team, although it does not have experience in major competitions, has already won several trophies. This time, they will surely be able to win the championship as smoothly as usual.

The audience watched with bated breath, their eyes glued to the 360-degree live video feed on the screen. As the cars in the convoy drew closer to the car that had started ahead of them, they grew excited.

When two cars meet, friction is bound to occur!

Su Jin stared intently at the various data on the computer screen. She slowly shook her head. "Something's not right!"

"What's wrong?" Tu Ying asked fearfully, grabbing the chair next to her for support.

Su Jin pointed to the location of the car in front, "At their normal speed, Zhu Ling shouldn't still be here. Zhou Zheng caught up with him far too early; they deliberately waited for Zhou Zheng here!"

"Zhou Zheng, don't get too close to He Zhangxing. If you have the chance, overtake him and leave. Don't get entangled with him! His speed is suspicious!" Su Jin shouted.

Su Jin's voice came through the channel, but Zhou Zheng didn't have time to reply, his eyes were fixed on the car that was getting closer and closer.

He Zhangxing didn't want him to overtake, so he slowed down and pressed down on their front, causing them to slow down as well.

Overtaking was impossible on this stretch of road, which was so narrow that he could only follow behind He Zhangxing, enduring the wake and mud.

The race car was being hit by a boulder, making a loud banging noise. Visibility was extremely poor, and they could only rely on Wang Tianle's route map to navigate.

Zhou Zheng became impatient. He had never experienced anything like this before when racing cars. He wanted to overtake and put He Zhangxing behind him.

Especially when he recalled the message He Zhangxing had delivered for Zhou Chengzhuo, he couldn't help but transfer his hatred for Zhou Chengzhuo onto He Zhangxing.

He Zhangxing even deliberately drove a disgusting car, just to slow him down and make him lose the championship, which would also cause his career to plummet.

He will never let them have their way!

Zhou Zheng spotted the bend and accelerated full speed ahead.

The blue ghost entered the bend first, drawing a perfect curve in its mind, and was about to burst out of the bend.

The car on the side suddenly couldn't brake and swerved towards the rear of the Blue Ghost.

"Bang!"

The blue ghost, like a kite with a broken string, tumbled at high speed and crashed into the open ground beside it like a rocket or meteor.

The car body dented instantly, and debris flew everywhere.

After sliding a few times, He Zhangxing's car came to a steady stop and continued driving towards the finish line.

"...Two cars have collided on the track! Assistance needed! Assistance needed..."

The rescuers' voices were sometimes loud and sometimes soft, sometimes seeming to be right next to you, and sometimes seeming to be far away.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou!" Wang Tianle cried out as he was pulled onto the helicopter by rescuers.

Zhou Zheng struggled to open his eyes, only to see clusters of light spinning around him, and the sounds of racing cars screeching and colliding filled his ears.

I'm so tired, I just want to sleep.

He had promised Su Jin he would return safely, but he hadn't kept his promise...

Zhou Zheng lost consciousness, and his eyes slowly closed.

Drop drop-

In the hospital, the sounds of medical equipment slowly awaken the sleeping patients.

Outside the door, the doctor was explaining the situation to Su Jin.

"After a thorough inspection, there were no major problems. The race car's crash protection and rollover protection were very good. Neither of them suffered any serious injuries; they just need to rest for a few days."

"Then why isn't he awake yet?" Su Jin gripped the doctor's arm tightly, refusing to let go. "Doctor, is he really alright? Could he... have been in a coma for months?"

The doctor reluctantly pushed her hand away. "Family member, he'll wake up soon. He's just been knocked unconscious. Don't cause trouble for the medical staff. If you keep pulling on me, I'll call security."

"Su Jin, don't scare yourself. The doctor said you're fine. Sit down for a while!" Tu Ying grabbed her and pressed her down onto a bench in the corridor.

Su Jin lowered her head, her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and she was about to cry at any moment.

"You...sigh, trust the doctor. Look at Little Fatty, he's perfectly fine, lively and energetic," Tu Ying comforted him.

His mind was in turmoil, but if he got into a mess too, there would be no one to keep things in order. There were still many things to deal with, and he couldn't afford to fall down no matter who did!
