Joey's section of the track lacked the harsh, glaring sunlight of Black Bear's section, and the terrain was relatively flat. However, his roadside was lined with dense grass, overgrown with weeds that obscured the edges of the road.
Every time the riders took a corner, they had to hug the grass, making the danger just as high.
After a moment of consideration, Sun Kai decided to hug the grass. He felt he was in good form today and might just qualify.
To ensure his smooth qualification today, Sun Kai had even specially chosen a helmet that was entirely green. Green represented passing, so Sun Kai was aiming for this auspicious meaning. Moreover, this green wasn't just an accent; it was all-green, with no blind spots.
Slowly tightening his line, Sun Kai leaned towards the grass at the edge. As his helmet brushed against the leaves, Sun Kai could clearly feel his bike starting to shake slightly.
The previous wall hadn't been grazed, but this time, he was truly brushing against it. The sensation of the helmet friction made Sun Kai feel momentarily out of body.
The green of the helmet and the green of the grass perfectly overlapped, and from the camera's perspective, it even had a sense of aesthetic beauty.
He eased off the throttle to exit the corner, then for the next turn, Sun Kai's helmet moved closer to the bushes on the other side, sliding along them again.
Sun Kai was more cautious on these連続弯道. If his helmet scraped too deeply, it could easily lead to trouble. Furthermore, there were branches in the grass, and if he got too close, he could be snagged by them, causing a crash.
In short, this track on the Isle of Man could only be ridden at noon; otherwise, accidents were bound to happen!
Through several consecutive corners, Sun Kai's bike shook violently. He had no choice but to ease off the throttle a bit. Once the bike stabilized, he leaned in again.
This repeated over and over.
Seeing Sun Kai's maneuver, Lin Yan frowned. Sun Kai's riding style was very poor, and continuing like this would likely lead to an accident.
Constantly testing his limits on this track was probably suicidal, and Sun Kai was doing it with a sliver of luck.
While thrilling, this approach had significant drawbacks. It was fast, but it lacked the stability gained through gradual progression.
Although fans of the Isle of Man TT often talked about risking their lives and pushing their limits, in actual races, no rider would put themselves in absolute danger. Acting within one's capabilities was the most important thing.
If every rider, without sufficient skill, acted like Sun Kai, the fatality rate would skyrocket.
Another Chinese rider behind Sun Kai had also entered the Black Bear section. His approach was almost identical to Sun Kai's; he instinctively slowed down upon entering this section. Seeing this, Lin Yan shook his head silently.
This was due to unfamiliarity with the track. Slowing down wasn't necessarily bad, but in this displacement class, almost no one who qualified would slow down here.
It had to be said that foreigners were more daring when it came to extreme sports. During his viewing, Lin Yan had already seen two foreign riders who didn't slow down.
While this approach might not guarantee qualification, their chances were certainly higher than those of Sun Kai and the other Chinese rider.
After watching for a while longer, Sun Kai's driving was aggressive, but one had to admit that his luck was quite good. He had been probing the edge of disaster for three minutes without incident, and he was nearing the end of the Joey section.
Feeling a bit bored, Lin Yan picked up the barbecue grill and started grilling. Su Mojin helped him skewer the meat, watching the race as she worked. This was the current state of the competition. If you watched for too long, it became tedious and uninteresting, not necessarily for ordinary people, but for Lin Yan, it was like this because, apart from watching riders set lap times, there were no other highlights.
Most importantly, the performance of the two Chinese riders had disappointed Lin Yan.
At first, it felt exciting, even for Lin Yan, but after watching for a while, it became somewhat dull and monotonous. If it were the actual race, Lin Yan felt it might be more engaging.
"Young Master, the person has been caught."
While Lin Yan was barbecuing, Adong sent him a message.
Caught?
Lin Yan glanced at the time. How long had it been? Not even half an hour, and they had caught him. That was efficient.
"Where was he caught?"
Lin Yan asked Su Mojin to help him type a reply. The message he received stated that the person was caught near Kyoto via a waterway.
Hearing this, Lin Yan's lips curved into a slight smile.
Not going via the airport meant Wei Hua had some brains, but going via the waterway also meant he had some brains, but not many.
During the Lin family's strict investigation, it was unlikely that he had secured a safe escape route.
Lin Yan instructed Li Wei to detain the person for now and decide on further action later.
It was better to keep him alive if possible; perhaps his father could use him, or maybe they could extract some information. Once he was of no further use, they could discuss how to deal with him.
The speed of events was rapid. Shortly after Lin Yan put away his phone, it rang again, causing Lin Yan to frown slightly. Why were there so many things happening?
Flipping a skewer, Lin Yan took out his phone and answered.
The call was from Li Wei, but this time the matter was quite serious.
"Young Master, there are people around. Please don't come out. I'll bring people to check the situation."
People around?
Lin Yan instinctively moved to the window to look. He only saw the bodyguards who were patrolling the perimeter now gathered around the car, and Yang Tianming himself was directing operations outside.
People? Could it be the Wei family again?
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, his first thought being the Wei family.
For safety reasons, Lin Yan immediately pressed the curtain button, closing all the windows.
The convoy would only pass through here once, and most of the riders had already gone by. There wasn't much to see anymore. Bulletproof glass wasn't invincible, and considering the previous incident, Lin Yan still prioritized his life.
Although he was an extreme sports athlete, Lin Yan admitted that he was a bit afraid of death.
With all the curtains lowered, the second floor became completely dark. Besides the windows, the entire car was equipped with twelve wide-angle cameras.
Turning on the fifty-inch television on the second floor, Lin Yan could still see the scene outside.
"Honey, is there something wrong outside?"
In the dark room, the grill still emitted a faint glow of fire. Although he was being cautious, Lin Yan was still leisurely grilling skewers. From the television, Lin Yan couldn't discern anything, but since Li Wei and the others said so, it meant there was indeed something happening outside.
"I don't know. There are people outside. Let Li Wei and the others handle it. We'll eat our food."
