Chapter 151 The Plot Against the Rainy Morning Car Team
The stadium halfway up the mountain was brightly lit.
There were also many spectators sitting in the stands. Although it wasn't as lively as on the day of the match, it was still quite a sight to behold.
Another reporter, microphone in hand, stood ready at the sidelines.
When the Yu Chen convoy arrived, they were stunned by the scene before them.
Yue Jiang sighed. Just as he had imagined, Zhao Gang's visit was not a friendly one.
Seeing that Yu Chen's team had arrived, Zhao Gang led his team members over.
The two racers were both arrogant and their eyes were full of disdain.
Some sharp-eyed members of the Yuchen Racing Team had already recognized them.
Although they were called team members, they were actually foreign drivers that Zhao Gang had temporarily found to help out. They were all well-known drivers in their own countries, and their skills were beyond question.
This time, Zhao Gang approached them saying he had a way to help them build their reputation.
Although they are somewhat famous, they are still not as good as the top drivers. Now that Zhao Gang has this opportunity, they will naturally not give it up.
As they approached, Yue Jiang recognized them.
Yue Jiang's brows furrowed even more deeply, a strong sense of unease welling up inside him.
He knew that the two foreign drivers were formidable, and since Zhao Gang had brought them here, this race was bound to be a tough one.
When Zhao Gang saw Yue Jiang, a faint, cold smile appeared on his lips.
Actually, there was another reason why Zhao Gang agreed to Zhang Tai's request: he had a conflict with Yue Jiang before.
At the time, Yue Jiang was still a driver, and they were on the same team. Yue Jiang took the racing opportunity that originally belonged to him.
Previously, their team was small, with only Zhao Gang as a driver, so naturally Zhao Gang was the one who participated in the races.
Later, Yue Jiang joined the team. His strength was comparable to Zhao Gang's. Zhao Gang was the team's main player and played in most races. Sometimes when Zhao Gang was not in good form, the team would arrange for Yue Jiang to participate in the race.
During one important competition, Zhao Gang suffered a minor injury in pre-competition training, and his condition was indeed not very good.
After careful consideration, the team decided to let Yue Jiang replace Zhao Gang in the competition.
Yue Jiang lived up to expectations, performing exceptionally well in that competition and winning the championship.
But ever since then, Zhao Gang has been holding a grudge, feeling that Yue Jiang deliberately stole his moment of glory when he was not in good form, and he has harbored resentment towards Yue Jiang ever since.
When Zhang Tai came to Zhao Gang's door asking him to teach Yu Chen's team a lesson, Zhao Gang's desire for revenge was instantly aroused when he heard that it was a team related to Yue Jiang.
He agreed without hesitation and even meticulously planned this seemingly unfair competition.
Zhao Gang looked at Yue Jiang and slowly began to speak.
"Hey, Yue Jiang, long time no see! I never imagined you'd become the manager of the Yu Chen Racing Team. You've really made something of yourself."
His words were full of sarcasm.
Yue Jiang frowned. He was well aware of Zhao Gang's unease and responded calmly.
"Zhao Gang, what are you trying to achieve by pulling this stunt today?"
As he spoke, Yue Jiang stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Gang's ear.
"Zhao Gang, so much time has passed, haven't you let it go yet? I'm warning you, don't involve others in our feud, and don't pull any dirty tricks."
Upon hearing Yue Jiang's whisper, Zhao Gang's lips twitched slightly, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he took a step back.
"Manager Yue, you've misunderstood. I'm not that petty. I'm here today for Han Yu. Look, I even invited a foreign player to come and see the strength of our champion."
As he spoke, Zhao Gang pointed to the two people next to him.
"Moreover, with so many people here, our competition is fair and just."
Yue Jiang looked coldly at Zhao Gang and snorted.
He's just making excuses; he talks a good game, but what he actually does is completely different.
Zhao Gang didn't care about Yue Jiang's reaction; he had achieved his goal: once Yu Chen's convoy arrived, they wouldn't be able to escape.
Zhao Gang beckoned to his assistant and asked him to explain the rules of the challenge.
Soon after, the assistant arrived. He was a bespectacled young man who looked quite capable.
He first bowed respectfully to Zhao Gang, then cleared his throat and began to introduce the rules of the challenge to everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the rules for this challenge are as follows."
The assistant's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it had a very businesslike quality to it.
"The competition adopts a best-of-three format. The track is a circular track in the hillside, with a lap length of 5 kilometers. Each of the three drivers must complete three laps."
He paused, glancing at the reactions of those around him.
"During the race, drivers must strictly abide by the general racing rules in the motorsport world. Any malicious collisions or interference with other drivers' normal driving are strictly prohibited. Once a violation is discovered, appropriate penalties will be imposed according to the severity of the offense. Please keep this in mind."
At this point, the assistant slightly adjusted his glasses, his gaze lingering on the members of the Yu Chen convoy, seemingly unintentionally.
