348: Chapter 348 Harboring Resentment

As soon as the race began, Shen Yan fully immersed himself in the competition.

The racer Mei Jinning chose this time was a bit disappointing.

He was immediately left far behind at the start, falling into the bottom fifty, and soon after, he crashed.

Seeing this, Mei Jinning wasn't sad; she merely remarked lightly, "It seems my luck isn't good this time; I chose a loser."

Shen Yan did not reply.

His gaze was tightly fixed on the racer he had chosen.

This young racer had great momentum and very capable skills.

Before long, that racer surged into first place.

The race was already halfway over.

If he could maintain his lead, the first place in the race would be his again.

Just as Shen Yan thought this young racer would win first place once more.

The young racer suddenly had an accident.

"Bang!!!"

From their perspective as spectators, it looked like the racer failed to react while taking a mountain curve and drove straight into the cliff face, completely wrecking the car.

"Tsk! It seems your luck isn't good this time either."

Hearing this, Shen Yan frowned.

"Was there a problem with the car?"

Mei Jinning blinked and countered, "Isn't it because he drove too fast and didn't steer properly?"

Shen Yan did not answer.

Although the competition hadn't concluded, the racer he chose had already been carried away after hitting the cliff.

Under these circumstances, he didn't see the need to stay there any longer.

"Alright, I've played one round with you. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Mei Jinning pouted and said, "The Supporting Male Character will look for you again in a couple of days. No matter what he says to you then, you must agree to it."

As her voice fell.

Shen Yan turned to look at Mei Jinning.

Mei Jinning wasn't afraid of his gaze and met his eyes openly.

After a few seconds, Shen Yan suddenly smirked, looking at Mei Jinning with a meaningful expression and saying:

"I don't object to your idea of using me against him. After all, I can also gain benefits from it. But don't forget, we are currently in a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate one."

"You are not qualified to command me."

Upon hearing this, Mei Jinning's expression shifted several times.

After a long moment, she managed to force out a slightly stiff smile.

"Mr. Shen, you misunderstood my meaning. How could I possibly mean to command you? I was just thinking that since we are cooperating, shouldn't I inform you first if I have something I need to do?"

Shen Yan let out a cold laugh and replied, "It had better be that way. If he really contacts me later, then I hope you can tell me in advance why he is contacting me and exactly what you plan to do."

"Just as you said, we are in a cooperative relationship now, and we must be mutually candid. If you are not candid, it will be difficult for me to guarantee that I will act according to what you say."

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Mei Jinning sitting alone in the room.

After leaving the room, Shen Yan found the owner.

"Hello, I'd like to ask where this race venue is located?"

The owner didn't understand why Shen Yan was suddenly asking this.

He scratched his head and replied, "This race venue is in a cordoned-off mountainous area in the neighboring city. What's wrong?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "Then... which hospital are the injured people from the race sent to?"

The owner frowned, wearing a puzzled expression.

"Why is the gentleman asking this?"

"We are only responsible for understanding the race results and broadcasting the process; we are not responsible for knowing the racers' injuries."

Saying this, he suddenly realized.

"Sir, are you asking which hospital the racer you bet on is currently being treated at?"

Shen Yan nodded.

Seeing him nod, the owner smiled and said, "If you want to know that, I can give you the contact information for the race organizer."

Shen Yan nodded and thanked him.

"Okay, I'll trouble you. Thank you."

After getting the organizer's phone number, Shen Yan didn't call immediately.

To be honest, he didn't know why he cared so much about that injured racer.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen someone fight so hard in a long time.

Seeing this person made him recall the days when he worked as a construction worker.

That period could be described as the lowest point of his life.

It was bad enough that his sister was in a coma, but his wife had also run off with the child and the company.

No money, no house, no car, no job.

It seemed all the terrible things had happened to him.

If it weren't for the tycoon system, he might still be down and out now.

In other words, it was the tycoon system that helped him and allowed him to make a comeback.

If possible, he also hoped he could be like the tycoon system and lend a hand to this young man who might be in a similar situation.

Thinking this, he picked up his phone and dialed the race organizer's number.

"Hello, is this the race organizer?"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a while before a voice came through.

"What race organizer?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan took the phone away from his ear and glanced at the number on the screen.

After confirming that it was no different from the number the owner had given him, he asked again, "Are you the organizer for the car race? This is the number the boss here gave me."

There was another silence on the other end for a while.

"It's me. What is it?"

Receiving an affirmative answer, Shen Yan asked the other party, "I want to ask, which hospital are the racers injured in your competition sent to?"

The race organizer seemed to have heard a joke, laughing several times before answering his question.

"Everyone who is willing to participate in this competition has signed a life-and-death waiver. Regardless of what injuries they sustain in the race, we are not responsible for sending them to a hospital."

As the words fell, Shen Yan's breathing became slightly ragged, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Then... where are the injured racers now?"

...

As soon as Shen Yan left, Mei Jinning impatiently slammed the red wine glass in her hand onto the table.

To be honest, she wasn't sure why she was so wary of the boss of a small company.

Perhaps it was because the pressure Shen Yan's eyes exerted was too strong, making her unable to resist wanting to submit whenever she met his gaze.

Her original plan was to use Shen Yan and then swallow all the assets of Gu Corporation and kick Shen Yan out, but now she had changed her mind.

Although Shen Yan was currently just the boss of a small company, she had a premonition that Shen Yan was not that simple.

Without a foolproof plan, she didn't want to make a move against Shen Yan so quickly.
