Chapter 2239: Moving Toward the Next Stage of Life

~7 min read 1,373 words

In order to save face, this person continued to provoke Wang Zi: "Someone who doesn't even dare to enter the competition is worth you all treasuring so much!"

"What do you know!"

Wang Zi let out a roar and was about to make a move on the other party.

But a single sentence from Jiang Mobai disrupted his rhythm: "That's right, he doesn't know anything! You all treasure me, and I treasure you all too; let them be envious!"

"Envious?" the other person said, revealing an expression of utter disdain.

But immediately...

He could no longer feel disdain.

One only heard Jiang Mobai calmly announce to his teammates: "If we win the competition today, I'll reward each of you with a big gift package!"

"A big gift package?"

"Yes, Rolex watches, new model Apple phones, LV belts... I'll stuff more in there once I think of what else."

Jiang Mobai's decision was extremely generous.

It made the members of the other team feel sour inside.

To maintain their pathetic self-esteem, someone still said stubbornly: "Is having money so great!"

"It's nothing great, but it gives me the confidence to be arrogant."

"You... shallow!"

"Heh, how high-class can someone be who can't compete in terms of strength and can only use provocation to disrupt morale?"

Jiang Mobai pointed out the other party's petty intentions in one word.

The group didn't make another sound.

They prepared to slip away by using the start of the competition as an excuse.

But Wang Zi blocked their path directly.

It seemed he didn't intend to let them off just like that.

Seeing this, the others followed Wang Zi's lead and blocked the way with a menacing aura.

Seeing the atmosphere at the scene becoming increasingly volatile, Jiang Mobai spoke up again: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and go compete. Oh right, if you win the competition, there's an additional seafood feast at the Sheng Ou Hotel!"

The seafood feast at this hotel was famous for being expensive.

If so many of them went to eat their fill, it would cost at least over a hundred thousand!

Besides being expensive, the ingredients there were also very fresh.

Boston lobster, king crab, large abalone...

Someone swallowed their saliva silently.

The volatile atmosphere also slowly faded away unconsciously.

Wang Zi, however, looked at Jiang Mobai.

Then he saw Jiang Mobai shake his head at him slightly.

In this instant, Wang Zi understood Jiang Mobai's hint.

He took a deep breath, then tilted his head and shouted: "Brothers, let's beat them until they're looking for their teeth all over the floor in a while!"

"That's right! For the gift package, for the seafood feast, let's go all out!"

This call to action was very simple.

Yet it was particularly cohesive.

The team members raised their arms and shouted one after another.

That aura was as if they were going to swallow the people opposite them alive.

Amidst such clamor, the members of the opposing racing team left in a dejected manner.

Once those people had walked far away, Jiang Mobai clapped his hands at his teammates, gathering everyone around.

After the provocation just now, the teammates' emotions would inevitably be restless.

Jiang Mobai didn't want the other party to take advantage of the situation, so he said a few simple words.

What was magical was that these few words calmed everyone's agitated emotions.

Everyone rethought their tactics.

Then they encouraged each other and cheered.

The coach saw this scene.

He couldn't help but remark to the team leader: "Mobai is worthy of being their spiritual leader!"

"Yeah, if only he could have come back sooner."

The coach paused in his tone, then sighed: "Better not have too high expectations."

"Ah? You mean..."

"Mobai might have another path to take."

This was the coach's own speculation.

But the team leader still panicked.

Jiang Mobai was a genius race car driver, after all.

With him there, they could be invincible.

Now that his body had recovered, and he had feelings for the racing team and his teammates.

Then why couldn't he come back?

The team leader couldn't figure it out.

He hoped the coach's judgment was wrong.

However...

The team leader looked toward Jiang Mobai.

The indifference in Jiang Mobai's eyes made him feel inexplicably flustered...

Very soon, the race began.

Jiang Mobai crossed his arms, keeping his attention on the race situation at all times.

At the start, his expression was tense.

But as the gap between the two sides gradually widened, Jiang Mobai slowly relaxed.

He even smiled and said to Su Kexuan, "It seems I'm destined to spend some money today."

Su Kexuan glanced at him, then said, "You're happy even when spending money."

That was true.

Jiang Mobai felt very delighted.

The smile at the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed.

However...

When he looked in the direction of Qingkong and Li Moning, his smile faded slightly.

Li Moning had also brought a camera.

She was even imitating Qingkong, holding the camera to capture the exciting and thrilling racing footage.

The two of them would occasionally exchange a few words.

As a professional, Qingkong would give Li Moning pointers.

When giving pointers, his expression was very serious.

But Li Moning...

Every now and then, she would purse her lips and smile.

That smile was as delicate as a begonia flower.

Hmm...

Jiang Mobai watched for a while, and he felt that strange sensation in his heart appear again!

Just as Jiang Mobai was frowning in thought, cheers suddenly erupted from the front.

Jiang Mobai immediately went to look.

It turned out that Wang Zi was the first to cross the finish line.

Jiang Mobai immediately widened his eyes and stood up to cheer!

That excited appearance influenced Su Kexuan.

She unconsciously raised a smile, feeling the joy of victory.

Jiang Mobai jumped down from the spectator stands and ran toward his team members like a gust of wind.

He even joined others in hoisting Wang Zi up and tossing him into the air.

Cheers came in waves.

Yet, a flash of melancholy crossed Su Kexuan's smiling eyes.

In the past, the person at the center of the cheers was always Jiang Mobai.

But now...

Su Kexuan stared intently at the expression on Jiang Mobai's face.

She discovered that Jiang Mobai had no signs of being upset.

He was truly happy.

When the excited shouting slowly subsided, Wang Zi was set down by the crowd.

Suddenly standing on the ground, Wang Zi's legs were still a bit weak.

To maintain his balance, he held onto a team member's arm.

Afterward, he looked at Jiang Mobai with burning eyes: "Mobai Ge, you said you would tell us your decision after the race ended. So... what is your decision?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at Jiang Mobai in unison.

Jiang Mobai's expression did not change.

He spoke calmly: "In the future, my work focus will shift to team management to provide you with better training conditions."

This...

Doesn't this mean he is no longer going to be a racer!?

The crowd was shocked.

The team leader was stunned for a moment before revealing a bitter smile.

Sigh, it really was guessed correctly!

Letting out a soft sigh, the team leader asked Jiang Mobai: "Why give it up?"

"It's not giving it up, it's just that after experiencing a few changes, my state of mind has shifted. In one stage, one must do the things of that stage, and I am now ready to move on to the next stage of my life."

After Jiang Mobai finished saying this, he felt incredibly relaxed.

He did indeed love racing.

But he didn't know when it started, that this love had turned into a heavy Shitou.

After these days of adjustment, he discovered it was time to change his identity to continue this love.

Everyone fell into silence because of Jiang Mobai's explanation.

The scene was quiet for a long time.

Finally, it was Wang Zi who first broke the silence: "Mobai Ge, I don't quite understand what you mean. But... I respect your choice."

Jiang Baobao stared at the screen, her heart sinking as she realized the evidence had been wiped clean.
