Without any suspense, Guo Xu Yang won the race.
As for You Xia, his whereabouts became completely unknown after he rolled down the cliff into the abyss.
This was an underground race to begin with. Seeing that something had gone wrong, everyone left, and no one paid any attention to whether You Xia lived or died.
Guo Xu Yang was aware of this.
After falling into the abyss, You Xia was battered and bruised, with not a single part of his body left intact. Most importantly, his cervical spine was broken.
Whether he could stand up again would depend on the medical standards of this planet.
Guo Xu Yang knew that on Earth, a broken cervical spine typically meant a lifetime of reliance on others for care.
To stand up again would be to hope for a miracle.
"Thank you," Jiyalan still felt as if she were dreaming.
She hadn't expected Guo Xu Yang to actually win, and to do so so decisively.
She had followed the entire race, and Guo Xu Yang's maneuvers had been flawless.
She didn't know how You Xia had fallen into the abyss, only that she had followed Guo Xu Yang across the finish line first.
She hugged Guo Xu Yang tightly, finally free from You Xia's harassment.
"You're welcome. Rather, I should thank you for the car and the spaceship you gave me."
Guo Xu Yang gently patted Jiyalan's arm, then opened the car door and got out.
"Guo Xu Yang, you actually won," Xi Li Yu came over, smiling happily.
"Of course, I'm very good, aren't I?"
"Show-off. What happened to that You Xia?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him. Hasn't he returned yet?"
"No. Something seems to have happened to him. I heard his car fell off the cliff. Let's hurry back before people start looking for trouble."
"Where is my prize?"
"What prize are you still thinking about now? It'll be trouble if someone comes looking for us."
"It's normal for people to get injured or even die in a race. What's there to be afraid of? I came to participate in the race for the prize," Guo Xu Yang insisted.
"I've never seen anyone like you. You Xia is no ordinary person. I found out just now that he's the City Lord's son. He's always been the one bullying others; no one has ever dared to bully him. This whole thing was originally between him and Jiyalan, and you insisted on coming to help. You won, that's fine, but then that You Xia fell off the cliff. You Xia is the City Lord's only son. Think about it, if his son has an accident, won't they investigate?" Xi Li Yu spoke in one breath.
"Even if they investigate, they'll only trace it back to Jiyalan. They won't find anything on me. Besides, so many people participated in the race, they can't just investigate me, can they?"
"It's because you won. If you hadn't won, everything would be fine. Even if he fell off the cliff himself, it's because he wasn't skilled enough; no one else to blame. Now that you've won, the City Lord will naturally investigate you."
"Then I'll collect my prize and leave. If it's really as you say, I can't stay in this place any longer."
"Then hurry up and go check," Xi Li Yu urged.
"Miss Jiyalan, do you know where we should go to collect the prize?" Guo Xu Yang asked.
"I'll take you there now," Jiyalan replied.
"Xi Li Yu just said that You Xia's father will come to investigate this matter. What do you think?"
"Don't pay any attention to them. Just collect your prize and leave."
"Will they do anything to me? Will they hold you responsible?"
"Don't be afraid. You just leave. If they really come to pursue it, I'll take full responsibility."
"That doesn't seem right..."
"I asked you to help me. No one wanted this outcome," Jiyalan said.
"Then..." Guo Xu Yang opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
