Chapter 2154: Don't Dig a Pit for Yourself

Jiang Mobai sternly refuted the team leader: "I am not shielding him; as long as you watch the replay, anyone with eyes can see it!"

"As for this replay, whoever wants to watch it can watch it!"

After the team leader finished speaking, he did not intend to express any further opinions on the win or loss.

Jiang Mobai did not want to say more to him either.

For those whose hearts have drifted away, there is no benefit in saying more.

Jiang Mobai turned his head to look at the coach and asked, "Are you leaving too?"

The coach had contributed a great deal to this racing team and also had deep feelings for every team member.

But as a coach, he was not free.

Because Jiang Mobai's family background was too powerful, the coach clearly had many ideas while directing this racing team, yet it was difficult to execute them.

If he could leave this place, based on the coach's level, it was not impossible for him to have a new breakthrough...

The coach's lips moved, and he said tactfully, "I am old; it is time to retire and enjoy my twilight years."

Just from this one sentence, Jiang Mobai understood the coach's subtext.

Jiang Mobai was very sad.

In his perception, everyone was still teammates fighting side by side yesterday.

As a result, now, they were about to go their separate ways...

Jiang Mobai clenched his palms tightly.

He managed to say in a calm voice, "Since you have all made your decisions, then I respect you all."

After the words fell, Jiang Mobai turned and walked away.

Because Qingkong had come along with Jiang Mobai, he heard the conversation inside.

Watching Jiang Mobai's gloomy expression, Qingkong followed him and asked while walking, "Are you alright?"

"Not alright!"

Jiang Mobai hated the feeling of being kept in the dark.

If he learned the truth later, could it really be treated as if nothing had happened?

It was nothing more than deceiving oneself and others!

But while angry, Jiang Mobai also blamed himself for being too careless.

He furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, "It is also that I was too insensitive; I thought the racing team was united as one, but I didn't expect that everyone had long since drifted away!"

"Don't blame yourself either. Those people, let them go if they want to. Anyway, you can still continue racing. Perhaps you will run into them on the track in the future; by then, you can crush them with your strength!"

Jiang Mobai seemed not to have heard Qingkong's words.

He continued to mutter, "I will continue to participate in the competition, and the racing team will not disband!"

"That's right! The racing team... eh? Wait a moment, the racing team isn't disbanding?"

This time, Jiang Mobai was finally not talking to himself.

He responded to Qingkong: "Yes, I will take over this racing team!"

People have different aspirations, and Jiang Mobai could not control that.

But he could persist on his own!

He would not let this racing team, full of glory and beautiful memories, disappear completely!

In this instant, Jiang Mobai no longer complained about heaven or earth.

He had found a direction for his efforts.

Because his goal was clear, Jiang Mobai radiated a dazzling light all over...

He was very different like this than before.

It also attracted Qingkong, who watched him without blinking.

Qingkong's hands were itching.

He especially wanted to take out his camera and freeze the scene at this moment.

But Jiang Mobai's emotions were unstable and unpredictable right now.

If he saw Qingkong holding up a camera to take pictures of him...

He might just smash Qingkong's precious camera!

Qingkong touched his own precious camera and ultimately did not dare to take the risk.

But words of encouragement could not be lacking: "I will support you!"

"Many thanks; now, let's set off."

Qingkong did not react for a moment and asked, "Where are we going?"

"To the bar, of course."

"Oh, oh, to the bar. Hey, I thought you weren't in the mood anymore."

"How could that be? One thing is one thing, another is another."

The matter of the racing team had indeed given Jiang Mobai no small shock and pressure.

But it had also firmed Jiang Mobai's heart.

He told himself that he would not give up on the racing team, and he would not give up on Su Kexuan either!

Bar—

Young President Zhou was very surprised to hear that Jiang Mobai had come to find him.

Walking quickly to the private room, Young President Zhou said enthusiastically to Jiang Mobai, "You haven't been here for a long time."

It had indeed been a long time.

If it weren't for needing to find clues, he still wouldn't have wanted to come today.

Jiang Mobai did not stand on ceremony either; he opened his mouth and went straight to the point.

It was just that regarding the events of that year, President Zhou also seemed completely clueless: "Oh, none of us knew any better at the time, we all drank too much, and I can't remember clearly either."

Qingkong asked: "Before you drank too much, do you remember this guy saying he wanted to confess?"

"I remember that; everyone was dying of curiosity, wanting to know who the object of his confession was. But Mobai said he wanted to keep the suspense and that the answer would only be revealed when the person arrived."

"And then?"

"Then... we never ended up waiting for the person, but Mobai, after two bottles of wine, started talking nonsense. We all teased him, saying the confession and all that was just something he imagined."

President Zhou laughed as he spoke, seemingly very nostalgic for those youthful days.

Jiang Mobai was in no mood for nostalgia.

He only felt that President Zhou was straying from the topic.

With a light cough, Jiang Mobai asked him very seriously: "That day, did any of you see Su Kexuan?"

"Su Kexuan..."

President Zhou recalled for a moment before remembering: "Oh, that tall beauty."

"That's her. Why, did you see her that day?"

President Zhou shook his head slightly and asked: "What was she there for?"

"Because I invited her."

"Huh? Why would you invite her? She isn't even in our circle."

After President Zhou finished speaking, he immediately thought of something.

And what he thought of made President Zhou's eyes widen: "The person you were going to confess to, could it be Su Kexuan!?"

"Yes."

Jiang Mobai admitted it openly.

But President Zhou's eyes remained wide open, and his mouth was agape.

Seeing this, Qingkong asked: "Why are you so surprised?"

"Because Mobai said it himself, that someone like Su Kexuan was nothing special and wasn't worthy of him. Since he looked down on Su Kexuan so much, how could he confess to her?"

President Zhou could not understand.

Jiang Mobai understood even less than him.

He shouted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, I never said anything like that!"

President Zhou remembered very clearly that Jiang Mobai had indeed said it.

But as someone tactful, how could he fail to see that Jiang Mobai did not want to admit it?

So, he deliberately played dumb: "Then maybe someone else said it? Sigh, I drank too much later on, I can't remember very clearly."

"You must remember clearly, it's very important to me!"

"Oh, this..."

President Zhou "tried hard" to recall, and finally shook his head apologetically at Jiang Mobai.

Seeing that Jiang Mobai was about to lose his temper, Qingkong hurriedly pressed down on his shoulder to soothe him.

Then, he asked President Zhou: "Was there surveillance in the private room?"

"Not to mention how many years have passed, even back then, to protect the privacy of guests, it would have been impossible to install surveillance."

"Since that's the case..."

Before Qingkong could finish his sentence, he saw Jiang Mobai rushing outside.

Qingkong hurriedly grabbed him and asked: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to call everyone else here; I want them to testify for me that I never said such nonsense!"

"Getting people to testify is fine, but did you really not say it? You must not dig a hole for yourself!"
