Hao Ren did not think that his anger was pointless when he walked away from Han Lingshi. He just wanted her to know that she cannot go around keeping secrets with him while he was working his ass off for her. Yes, he did have some ambition, but every one does. He was a human after all. Han Lingxue rushed to support her sister, who was sulking, and said, "Told you so."
Han Lingshi dejectedly sat down and nodded, her mind was in a mess. She said, "You know I made this bet before I met him?"
Han Lingxue nodded and sat down next to her as she said, "You could have told him why you were anxious about the event when you called him and he would have been here even earlier. Given how smart he is, do you think, he wouldn't figure out that Augustus and his bunch is scheming against us? This is why he is angry. You should not shoulder everything on your own."
...
In the pit alley, Hao Ren smiled and greeted everyone. Andy took a deep breath when he saw him and said, "Thank heavens you came over, Hao Ren. We are in a bind."
Hao Ren smiled and asked, "Are we looking that bad?"
Andy sighed and said, "The leaders are Ricardo, Marco, and Dalton."
Hao Ren couldn't help but exclaim, "Fuck my life! We have to start against them from the tail. Even god cannot win this, right?"
Andy shrugged and said, "I did not expect these three to come over in person, however, they just want to settle their own accounts. Since this is a charity event they would be doing a good deed while competing with each other."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "No time thinking, I will suit up and then inspect the car one more time before we go in."
Andy nodded, and Hao Ren went to the dressing room on the side. It did not take long for him to put on the suit and he walked out into complete chaos. Hao Ren looked at the raging old man and asked, "What happened?"
Andy yelled, "What happened? That fucker Dillion registered the team software under his name, and now he sent us a notice that if we want to use the software on the vehicle we need to pay him fifty million yuan. That bastard, I hope he dies of rot."
Hao Ren shook his head and looked around, he found that a few people in suits were watching the consoles with a few nerdy guys working there. He walked over and asked, "Excuse me, might you be the officer who is checking what software we are using?"
The man nodded, and when he saw Hao Ren dressed in a driver suit he sighed and said, "Look buddy, I know it might be a big stage for you, but you are already at the tail and I am bound by the laws and regulation. We cannot let you use this one."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Can you get your guys to delete this software from the roots?"
The man was shocked and so were the others, Hao Ren extended his hand to the man and said, "Hi, my name is Hao Ren, I am the CEO of Thunder Technologies. I will allow the Chariot Racing Team to use the monitoring software developed by my company. How much longer do you need before you can clean it up?"
Matty cast a side glance at Han Lingshi who was looking at them and Hao Ren gave the man a thumbs up. He sighed and said, "Women."
Matty smiled and said, "Alright mate, you are all set, now can you please get ahead of these snobby blokes?"
Hao Ren nodded to him with a smile. Just when the cars were about to roll out of the pit stop a familiar mechanical ding sounded in his mind.
*Ding: Host you are racing to help your Wife's company. You are the knight in shiny armor who is riding the chariot to rescue the empress. You have only one option and that is victory!!
Task: Win the charity race event.*
Hao Ren commented, "Your knack for dramatization is increasing exponentially."
The system did not reply, Hao Ren rolled the car out of the pit slowly and warmed up the tires. Xiao Mei said, "A lot of people are talking about you."
Hao Ren replied, "Let them talk whatever they want to. The result will speak for us."
Xiao Mei said, "Boss, the forecast suggests rain, can you tell them to take out a set of wet rain tires just in case?"
Hao Ren said, "Tell me about it when the sky is filled with clouds."
Xiao Mei accepted the task and fell silent. Hao Ren drove his car smoothly around the track, and he did not use the curbs at all. After the warm up lap had finished, Andy spoke, "Ren, the sensors are working fine and the telemetry is looking good."
Hao Ren replied with a okay, and then he said, "Now, I am going to focus, we only have 77 laps to get past 19 cars."
Andy said, "Yeah, since it is a charity event, all the teams are sending out one car each to compete. Even the teams that are not qualified for the grand prix are here, to think that we stand at the tail, what a shame."
Hao Ren said, "Andy, we also did not qualify for the grand prix did we?"
Andy fell silent when he heard this. Hao Ren revved the engine as he looked at the starting lights. As soon as the lights turned green, within a millisecond, Hao Ren shifted gears and punched the accelerator.
The car turned into a silver dagger that pushed forward, and before the person ahead of him had a clue, Hao Ren was already moving ahead from the gap on the outside.
The crowd was stunned, usually they all focused on the front but the commentator said, "Oh my god, what did I just see, the driver from Chariot team made a quick work at the start to defy the tail end and jumped three places. Hahaha, the race has begun ladies and gentleman."
