The phone call ended, and Lin Yan glanced at Li Xiao, who was ranked first in lap times among the audience.
He had organized the competition himself, and if this guy dared to mess around, he wouldn't mind seeing the Li family go bankrupt.
Two minutes later, it seemed Zhang Mingzhi's words had been conveyed, and soon someone posted a faster lap time, surpassing Li Xiao.
The people off the track still had skill, they were just more wary of the Li family.
Li Xiao's lap time was instantly erased, dropping several places and almost falling out of the top ten.
Zhang Mingzhi watched the situation on the track from the pit room. He had initially thought this Li Xiao would have some skill, but he didn't expect him to be at this level. He hated it so much his teeth itched watching these people overtake him with his helmet on.
He, like his older brother, came from an off-road background, and the track was just a hobby. Naturally, he couldn't compete with these people. He had thought his status could intimidate them, but he didn't expect that old man to pull this stunt.
Now, he would put in more effort to try and shave another second off his lap time.
He had come with a purpose and had to win.
Others might not know, but their Li family had caught wind of something. Something was clearly being built on the empty lot opposite the track, and it was already taking shape.
According to his brother's deduction, it was likely to be an academy, and the Lin family happened to be holding this competition. It was hard not to read into it.
If he could enter the academy and build a good relationship with the Lin family's young master, perhaps allowing the Lin family's young master to forgive him, it might even allow the Li family to stage a comeback.
With the financial support of the Lin family, the academy opposite would likely be completed in less than five days, and a small building had already risen.
The results of today's competition would also determine the allocation of the first batch of students.
Thirty Aprilia RS660s sped around the track, all drivers pushing their lap times as fast as possible. This way, they could start from a more forward position when the race began.
"Brother, do you think I can go on track now? Referee Zhang just said that if there's any trouble, Lin Shen will deal with it."
At the starting line, the brother and sister's bikes were parked there, not having moved yet.
Jiang Qimo's idea was to observe first.
With only four minutes left in the race, Jiang Qiyan was getting impatient and started urging her brother.
Jiang Qimo stood off the track and observed the situation. The drivers were scattered on the track, setting lap times. Jiang Qimo waited a little longer until the starting area became clear, then said to his sister.
"We're going on."
Four minutes was enough time for two laps, and two laps were enough time for the brother and sister.
A roar of engines sounded, and two RS660s sped onto the track, Jiang Qimo following behind his sister.
Jiang Qiyan twisted the throttle, and the bike turned onto the track.
Jiang Qimo found the timing to be very good. There weren't many people in front or behind them now, making it ideal for setting lap times.
At turn one, Jiang Qiyan, who was ahead, extended her leg to lean into the turn, her knee scraping the ground. The action was smooth and fluid.
She entered the turn smoothly, the bike tilting, her body half-hanging to one side.
"This girl's technique is quite good," Veneres commented, seeing Jiang Qiyan's move.
Admittedly, Jiang Qiyan's technique was very standard, comparable to professional racers, but there was a hint of Lin Yan's style in it.
Lin Yan also noticed that the female rider's hanging technique bore some resemblance to his own entry into turns.
She was imitating it very well.
"Haha, Lin kid, I didn't realize this girl was your fan," the bearded foreigner joked.
Lin Yan smiled and said nothing. He didn't dare to comment further, as his wife was right beside him.
"So cool!"
Seeing Jiang Qiyan's leaning technique, Su Mojin's eyes lit up, full of admiration.
Cool? Riding motorcycles was indeed cool for girls, and Lin Yan agreed with that, but it was also dangerous.
"I want to go on the track too, why don't you teach me?" Su Mojin suddenly said.
Go on the track? Lin Yan carefully observed his wife. Didn't she think racing was very dangerous? Why did she want to go on the track herself?
However, regardless of the reason, Lin Yan unhesitatingly shook his head. What a joke. With his wife's delicate build, if she fell on the track, he would be heartbroken.
"No." Lin Yan flatly refused.
"Please teach me~"
"No!"
"Please teach me~"
Su Mojin began her strategy of coaxing. When soft tactics didn't work, she had to resort to harder ones.
"Stop messing around, there are so many people here."
Su Mojin's hand slipped inside Lin Yan's shirt and began to pinch his muscles.
Lin Yan looked troubled. What was going on? He remembered Su Mojin wasn't like this at first. How had she become more and more like a little devil?
Fortunately, Su Mojin was still considerate of Lin Yan's reputation in public. After a few more antics, she stopped and leaned against Lin Yan's shoulder like a little bird.
On the track, after turn one, Jiang Qiyan flipped her bike and approached turn two, speeding through the apex.
Jiang Qiyan's riding style was very aggressive. In both turns, the front wheel of the RS660 was almost lifting off the ground.
Then, before turn three, Jiang Qiyan put on a show of heavy braking for the audience, the front suspension compressing to its limit, causing the rear wheel of the bike to swing.
"This woman rides so fiercely!" a male fan in the Chinese audience section said earnestly.
"Indeed, she's very chest... fierce," the chubby guy next to him agreed, though the chubby guy's gaze was focused on a different spot than the male fan.
"Damn it, what are you looking at, you pervert!" The male fan turned and nudged the chubby guy.
With her slender figure and the ethereal strands of hair under her helmet, more and more spectators soon noticed Jiang Qiyan on the track.
"Wow, I didn't expect we'd have a female rider on the track!"
"Holy crap, a red sector, she's that fierce."
After one lap, Jiang Qiyan directly refreshed the leaderboard, much to everyone's surprise.
A woman took first place? Was this a joke? Where would that leave the male riders' pride?
However, what surprised these people even more was yet to come. As the second lap began, Jiang Qiyan had already achieved a red sector, and Jiang Qimo behind her was struggling to keep up.
"The speed in the first sector has turned red. It seems her previous lap time wasn't her limit," Hao Dong's voice came from the commentary booth.
Hao Dong was also seeing a female rider reach the top position for the first time. Truly, women were no less capable than men.
Who said women couldn't ride bikes? She was very skilled.
Lin Yan: ...
After turn seven, Jiang Qiyan had completely pulled away from her brother.
