Chapter 2199: Indefinite Break
Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes, his presence full of oppression!
The person standing opposite him felt their legs go weak!
This person raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from their forehead.
Yet, out of the corner of their eye, they caught sight of the door to the room where Jiang Mobai was being held being pushed open from the inside...
"Phew, done!"
The doctor straightened his back and let out a sigh of relief.
Afterward, he comforted Jiang Mobai: "Don't worry, I will explain it by downplaying the serious parts and minimizing the impact!"
Having said that, the doctor strode out.
Jiang Mobai had been leaning against the wall just now and had not been paying attention to the situation outside at every moment.
Only when the door opened did he turn his head to look outside.
With this look, he saw Li Xingyan, Jiang Motian, and...
Su Kexuan!?
Jiang Mobai panicked in an instant.
His mind went completely blank.
Before Jiang Mobai could recover his senses, he had already stepped out of the room.
At the same time, he shouted: "Don't say—"
Everyone's attention was drawn over.
Including Su Kexuan's.
However, the next second, in full view of everyone, Jiang Mobai fell to the ground without any warning!
Jiang Mobai was in a sorry state.
He propped himself up on his arms, wanting to stand up.
But his right leg... simply had no strength in it!
The doctor was closest to Jiang Mobai; seeing Jiang Mobai fall, his expression changed.
The next second, he hurried back.
But the doctor did not help Jiang Mobai up immediately; instead, he raised a hand and pressed on his leg.
Then he asked: "Lost sensation again?"
"... Yeah."
The doctor shook his head and sighed, then moved to help him up.
Meanwhile, the cameras not far away were all aimed at Jiang Mobai.
They even captured his extremely wretched appearance!
Jiang Mobai dodged the cameras in a panic.
Yet his body became increasingly unable to muster any strength.
Just at this moment, someone gripped Jiang Mobai's arm.
Jiang Mobai did not even look to see who it was before he moved to push them away.
But suddenly, a domineering and firm voice rang out in Jiang Mobai's ear: "If you don't want others to keep making a joke of you, shut up!"
Hearing this voice, Jiang Mobai froze completely.
At this very moment, all the blood drained from his face.
He wished he could vanish on the spot.
But he could not.
Moreover, an even more embarrassing situation was waiting for him...
The reporters had already swarmed over.
They did not care about Jiang Mobai's feelings at all, opening their mouths to press him: "Mr. Jiang, are you crippled?"
"How can a disabled person participate in a car race?"
"Is this the secret Mr. Jiang wanted to hide?"
"Escaping is not the problem; does Mr. Jiang have a solution?"
The noisy sounds at the scene were constant.
Yet Jiang Mobai did not say a word.
The people in the racing team also looked at each other in dismay.
Wang Zi had long had a bad premonition in his heart.
And the scene at this moment was even worse than he had anticipated!
But he only froze for a split second before he came back to his senses.
Wang Zi was seen waving his arms continuously, blocking the reporters.
He was also shouting: "What are you filming? Get out of here, all of you!"
Wang Zi's warning had no effect.
The reporters still found gaps to film.
And the troublemakers watched the fire from the other side, gloating over the misfortune.
But soon, they could no longer laugh.
Because they discovered that Li Xingyan had taken out his phone and was filming them!
What, what is this situation?
A reporter also noticed Li Xingyan's actions and, emboldened, asked, "What does Mr. Li mean by this?"
"I'm filming all your petty faces."
"By what right do you film us?"
"Then by what right do you film Jiang Mobai?"
"Because Jiang Mobai is a public figure, we have an obligation to film him!"
"But this is private property; no one invited you here, so this is trespassing! I am now exposing this kind of misconduct; this is my obligation as a citizen!"
Making a mountain out of a molehill—Li Xingyan could do that too.
And he was better at it than they were!
Li Xingyan's words left the crowd unable to refute him.
They also sensed that something was wrong.
This Li Xingyan... was clearly planning to settle scores later!
Being targeted by Li Xingyan was a terrifying thing.
Fortunately, there were many people on the scene.
Everyone exchanged glances and prepared to unite, like ants trying to shake an elephant!
One person took the lead and started the trouble: "Are you trying to use the Li Family's prestige to suppress a scandal?"
Li Xingyan calmly countered: "Does training while injured count as a scandal?"
"Since it's not a scandal, why not make it public?"
"If I hadn't made it public, it wouldn't have attracted you clowns to come here and dance like demons. If I did make it public, wouldn't it just get even worse?"
"... Fine, even if what you say is reasonable, keeping it from outsiders is one thing, but why were the people in the racing team also kept in the dark?"
"Because we needed to stabilize morale."
"But..."
Li Xingyan suddenly raised his hand, cutting the other person off.
He then retorted: "Are you trying to say that because we didn't dare to make even this public, the racing team has no cohesion?"
"Uh..."
The reporter was thrown off his rhythm and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Li Xingyan, however, had something to say.
He said slowly: "Mobai didn't want his own affairs to cause unrest; he wanted everyone to train with peace of mind. But even if the matter is exposed, the racing team has the ability to withstand the storm. Their protection is mutual."
After speaking, Li Xingyan turned his head to look at the young people and asked, "Isn't that right?"
"That's right!"
The young men on the racing team already had energy with nowhere to vent.
Now that Li Xingyan asked them, they naturally answered with all their might.
The thunderous roar made some reporters' fingers tremble, nearly causing them to drop their cameras.
Li Xingyan's performance had jumped straight out of the trap of self-justification and, in the process, solidified morale.
Such tactics and schemes were not something the few small fry on the other side could handle.
Those who saw the facts clearly began to think about retreating.
Those who were unwilling to give up turned their gazes toward the doctor.
"Since the doctor is here, why not let him introduce Mr. Jiang's situation?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately fell on the doctor.
The collective stare made the doctor's shoulders shake.
He did not immediately state his position, but instead turned to look at Jiang Mobai, asking for his opinion first: "Then, may I say a few words?"
Jiang Mobai had been keeping his eyes lowered.
Hearing this, he slowly raised his eyes: "Let me say it myself."
As his voice fell, he looked at the crowd.
Then, unhurriedly, he announced: "My body has developed some issues, and I am currently no longer fit to continue racing; until I recover, I will be on an indefinite hiatus."
Once this decision was announced, the scene erupted in an uproar.
Wang Zi couldn't help but call out: "Brother Mobai!"
Hearing this anxious voice, Jiang Mobai glanced at him.
That look was filled with apology.
Back then, he had been the one to swear that he would return to the racetrack.
He had returned.
But in the end...
Jiang Mobai forced a smile: "The team manager will handle things later; while I am away, I hope everyone will continue to work hard."
Hearing this, some people's eyes turned red.
To everyone, Jiang Mobai was the spiritual leader of the racing team.
With him there, everyone felt like they had a backbone.
