Chapter 104
Mr. Feng was also surprised when he heard this. Who could have thought that things would come to this point? It
was originally a good birthday celebration, but both parties were so anxious that they actually gambled a huge sum of money against each other.
However, now that things have come to this, he also understands that both sides want to save face, and no one can give in. This is the Ning family and the Ye family competing with each other.
He can only say: "Well, in this case, then I will be a witness for you."
This gamble, the Ye family and the Ning family bet against each other, betting on who will win the first place in the end.
If Ye Tianhui wins, the Ye family will get shares in the Ning family shipyard, and at the same time, Grandpa Gu will give Ye Tianhui a commercial property and 1% of the Ye family's shares.
After this agreement, everyone looked at Ye Tianhui with a different feeling.
If she could really win, the moment she walked off the racecourse, she would become rich overnight, her net worth would instantly increase a hundredfold, and she would be one of the richest women in Hong Kong.
If she lost, the Ye family would lose all face this time.
Of course, she would definitely lose, who would believe that she would win?
Everyone racked their brains to think about how she could win, but still felt that it was impossible.
Unless Ke Zhiming suddenly fell to the ground and died, but even if Ke Zhiming was gone, there were still ten racehorses on the scene today, and they were all brave warriors who had fought their way through each level.
Who could be afraid of this young lady who had just started out?
Ye Tianhui raised her wrist and looked at her watch under everyone's gaze.
Afterwards, she smiled and said, "Everyone, there are only fifteen minutes left before the competition. I am going to go downstairs to compete. I will come back to report to the elders after the competition is over."
Everyone: ...
Zhou Wanlan pursed her lips tightly, and she felt uneasy in her heart.
Ye Tianhui was too calm, so calm that it was hard to guess.
At this time, as a jockey, she should have been on high alert, but she was so leisurely and didn't take it seriously at all.
She just watched Ye Tianhui go downstairs, watching her resolute calmness and heroic posture when she walked downstairs.
She felt a little dazed in her heart, thinking that if it was a different situation, she would appreciate this girl and respect her.
But now, this person is her enemy.
She would rather she become her defeated general!
At this time, the race was about to begin, and all the old gentlemen took their seats.
She took a deep breath and went downstairs.
But when she went downstairs, she happened to see Gu Shizhang.
He was standing not far from the backstage, looking at the horse racing backstage preparation area.
Following his gaze, she saw Ye Tianhui in riding clothes again.
She walked over.
Gu Shizhang never retracted his gaze, he was still concentrating on looking at Ye Tianhui not far away.
Zhou Wanlan said: "You are condoning her, condoning her to make such a bet."
Gu Shizhang is naturally not short of money, and in fact, these bets are nothing in his eyes. In other words, even if Ye Tianhui pokes a hole in the sky, he can easily fill it up.
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "No regrets, since we've made the bet, let's make it."
Zhou Wanlan stood there, also looking at the preparation area, where Ke Zhiming was also ready to go.
She sneered, "Are you so sure that she will win?"
Gu Shizhang: "Of course."
Zhou Wanlan: "Where does this confidence come from?"
Gu Shizhang: "Of course it comes from Ye Tianhui."
Zhou Wanlan was surprised. She knew that he and Ye Tianhui were in love when they were deeply in love.
This was true, and you could tell from the way they looked at each other.
But now Gu Shizhang actually called Ye Tianhui by her name, which felt very different.
Gu Shizhang then retracted his gaze and looked at her calmly: "I advised you that day not to set a trap for you, I was really doing it out of friendship."
Zhou Wanlan was slightly startled.
Gu Shizhang: "As a friend, sometimes I also hope that you can live a better life. After all, we have known each other for many years."
Zhou Wanlan: "What do you mean?"
Gu Shizhang: "Nothing, I just want to give you a piece of advice."
He looked at her and said: "Second Madam, Ye Tianhui will not lose. Since she wants to gamble, she will definitely win."
Zhou Wanlan heard this and felt a chill on her back.
Gu Shizhang smiled, his eyes full of tenderness: "I have such confidence in the woman I love."
**********
In fact, when Ye Tianhui walked down the VIP viewing area, the omnipresent reporters had already got the news, so in an instant, the gossip spread rapidly, and many people in the industry knew about it.
You have to know that since Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan became famous, the information about Ye Tianhui, the horse owner, has also spread like wildfire, and everyone knows about this rich lady.
Even the fact that she has a pet horse has been heard to some extent.
When everyone knew that Ye Tianhui actually planned to ride her pet lazy horse to compete in the Queen's Cup Mountain Race, they couldn't help but drop their jaws.
What is this rich lady doing? Is she here to make fun of me?
And the lazy horse, who is said to be lazy and good at nothing, and never trained, is participating in the Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race? Does she know what she is doing?
You know, Ke Zhiming is back, and his strength is as strong as ever. Although he lost to Nie Pingqi, who rode the invincible power, in the last race, he still did not lose his momentum.
In this Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race, his strength on the field is almost overwhelming.
Therefore, the person who had the most support in this Queen's Cup Mountain Race was naturally Ke Zhiming. The majority of people betting on Long Hua Jia Ren occupied the entire stadium. The entire audience was almost drowned by the cheers of Long Hua Jia Ren. There was even a large banner with Long Hua Jia Ren running hung up by horse fans.
It can be said that this was almost a special performance of Long Hua Jia Ren.
Under such circumstances, such a lazy horse appeared, and it was a female rider.
Most people accepted it. It didn't matter who won or what happened. Their Ke Zhiming would definitely win. Their Long Hua Jia Ren was the well-deserved first place!
But there were also some people who were shocked, dissatisfied, and strongly protested. They were the horse fans who bet on Teng Yun Wu.
Some horse fans had studied Teng Yun Wu and thought that the one who was driving Teng Yun Wu was Lin Jianquan or Chen Zongwan, so they bet on some of them. This was not surprising. There were so many horse fans in Hong Kong, and they bet on everything. Everyone wanted to make an upset.
But at this moment, they actually saw an unknown jockey, and a female jockey!
Now some people protested, and there was even a certain commotion on the field, but the security guards soon calmed them down.
According to the rules before this race, the jockey can be replaced in this race, and there is no designated jockey.
So some Tengyunwu bettors beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling that they have lost money and that they have been cheated. This Jockey Club is too shady and is simply cheating money! As for
those horse fans who bought Longhua Jiaren, they naturally became more and more excited. They must win, they must win!
At this time, there were only 30 minutes left before the race. She quickly started the pre-race process and re-weighed to verify the weight.
Different races and tracks have different weight requirements. This race is a mountain cross-country race, and the weight requirements were announced before the race.
According to the weight requirement, excluding the weight of helmet, goggles, number cloth, whip, safety vest, etc., Ye Tianhui's weight should be between 105 pounds and 118 pounds, which is between 47.25 kg and 53 kg in kilograms. Ye
Tianhui looks slender at first glance, but in fact she is very tall, and with long-term exercise, her body is relatively tough, which is also relatively heavy. Fortunately, she has paid attention to control her weight in the past few days and has perfectly met the weight requirement.
Afterwards, she brought the saddle and extra weight bag, weighed again, and only after confirming that she was qualified did she enter the competition preparation area.
In the competition preparation area, Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan were both there, as were Sun Jiajing and Lao Zhou.
This secret cannot be hidden from the comrades around them. They naturally know that Ye Tianhui has been training Teng Yunwu secretly for a while, and Teng Yunwu's strength should not be underestimated.
But they are still worried and don't understand how Ye Tianhui made such a decision.
In their hearts, Ye Tianhui is indeed excellent, and Teng Yunwu is indeed good, but this kind of excellence and goodness is far from the level of running to such a top competition to show their skills.
This is destined to be a joke.
But she is the boss, she naturally has the final say. Since she wants to experience it, they will naturally support her as much as possible.
Lin Jianquan looked at Ye Tianhui silently and handed the reins to Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui glanced at Lin Jianquan: "Do you think I can win?"
Lin Jianquan obviously didn't expect her to ask this, and was stunned for a moment.
After that, he looked at her and finally said: "Yes."
Ye Tianhui smiled: "Where does your confidence come from?"
Lin Jianquan: "I don't know, but I just believe in you."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said: "Jianquan, Zongwan, I can tell you this, in this life, I will only let Teng Yunwu fight this time, and I will only ride this time."
She paused, smiled and said: "But you can use your whole life to surpass me."
After that, she went to the weigh-in area.
Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan were both stunned there, and then the two looked at each other.
Then, they looked at the gate area together.
At this time, all the jockeys were ready. Surrounded by horse trainers and logistics personnel, they led their horses to make final preparations.
Ye Tianhui looked through the crowd and happened to see Ke Zhiming, who was leading Longhua Jiaren.
Ke Zhiming's line of sight also happened to shoot straight at her. When their eyes met, Ye Tianhui clearly felt the caution and inquiry in Ke Zhiming's eyes.
Ke Zhiming was not an ordinary person. He obviously had a sharp intuition like a god or ghost. In his heart, he had already regarded himself as an opponent.
Ye Tianhui chuckled and nodded slightly to Ke Zhiming.
A very friendly smile.
From such a distance, Ke Zhiming saw the way Ye Tianhui smiled.
In the winter sunshine, he thought the girl looked very pretty when she smiled, calm and composed. When he saw her smile like that, an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
It reminded him of the first time he got on a horse and participated in a formal competition. He was young, thin and silent, but full of ambition.
He was ambitious and felt that he could conquer the world, but deep inside his body, there was a cowardly self who was afraid of failure.
At this moment, in the girl's smile, he felt that he had returned to that moment again, cowardice and determination intertwined together, making him full of confidence and trepidation.
He lowered his eyes and adjusted his saddle for the last time.
In fact, he knew there was nothing to be afraid of. Once he got on the horse, no one in the world could be his opponent.
He had the power to defeat everything.
But he couldn't help but think of what Zhou Wanlan said to him, and the uneasiness in Zhou Wanlan's eyes.
If this was a war, there were three types of people to be wary of in a war: the elderly, children, and women.
Because these three types of people are considered to be weaklings in a world of power. Once they are on the battlefield, it means that they have special skills and must be doubly guarded.
But now he was a little confused. He didn't know what the girl in front of him was thinking?
What kind of killer skills did she master?
And with all these thoughts in mind, the competition was about to begin, and the riders got on their horses and passed the gate.
He took a last look at Ye Tianhui from a distance, and she also got on the horse.
When she climbed onto the horse, he vaguely felt the power contained in this female body, a kind of soft, firm power.
He took a deep breath, gripped the reins, and cheered himself up.
This was all a psychological battle. He had been on the battlefield for a long time and should not be defeated by such a novice female rider.
At this time, Ye Tianhui climbed onto the horse. She held the reins and looked ahead. There was a mountain road ahead, which was rugged and even had many steep and sudden turns. She needed to conquer all of them.
She also heard a loud roar from the audience, people cheering enthusiastically and raising flags and shouting.
Ye Tianhui knew that they were betting not only for their beloved racehorses, but also for the tickets in their hands and to win generous rewards.
She had studied the data beforehand and found that the vast majority of horse racing fans bet on Long Hua Jia Ren, and the number of fans betting on Teng Yun Wu was only about 0.3% of the total number, which was not a lot.
She wanted to win, and after winning, she wanted to let these 0.3% of horse racing fans get generous rewards, let the Ye family stand out in this birthday banquet, and let herself get the reward placed by the two old men. If
she didn't make a move, it would be fine, but once she did, she would definitely return with a full load. If she
won this race, from now on, the Ye family would be her world, and from now on, she would become famous in the Hong Kong horse racing world.
While she was thinking about this, the race had already begun.
As the flag was waved, the starting bell rang, and almost at the moment the bell rang, the well-trained Teng Yunwu lowered his front body, and the horse's hooves slammed down the runway in front of him. With that fierce and short thump, the thousand-pound horse carried Ye Tianhui and rushed out lightly and swiftly.
On the viewing platform, Gu Shizhang was staring at the horse and the person.
Her soft and slender body was arched, perfectly fitting on the horse's back, matching the rhythm of Teng Yunwu's running.
She had naturally been training all this time, and although she didn't say it, he knew it.
Facts have proved that these trainings have been effective, allowing her to regain her old feelings.
He seemed to see the female general who had fought bravely in the past life. Her riding and archery skills were enough to make all the men in the world ashamed. She had once commanded thousands of troops with a Qingfeng.
As he watched, Zhou Wanlan beside him murmured, "She is much more exciting than I thought, but can she beat Ke Zhiming? Is it possible?"
A voice beside him said, "I also want to know where she got the confidence from."
Zhou Wanlan looked over and saw that it was Meng Yinian who said this.
It was obvious that Meng Yinian was also paying close attention to the result of this game.
If Ke Zhiming and Ye Tianhui were opponents in this game, then once Ke Zhiming lost and Ye Tianhui entered the finals, it would inevitably threaten the status of the Meng family.
Of course, if Ke Zhiming entered the finals, it would also become a threat to Nie Pingqi.
So for Meng Yinian today, he could sit on the mountain and watch the fight between enemies, but he was also worried.
Gu Shizhang's eyes were always closely following the figures on the field, and he didn't even look at Meng Yinian.
At this time, the twelve horses had already rolled across the front straight road in the roar, and the horses gradually dispersed. The ones running in the front were Ke Zhiming and the other two famous horses, and Ye Tianhui was riding Teng Yunwu and chasing them closely behind.
Teng Yunwu's rhythm was smooth, light and swift, like a hurricane.
He smiled and said to the two people beside him: "Next you can see my girlfriend's reins."
As he finished speaking, Ye Tianhui began to counterattack.
At this time, Ye Tianhui held the reins lightly, leaning forward, and hearing the shouts of 80,000 people and the earth-shaking sound of horse hooves.
In the winter under the subtropical climate, the dry and cold wind swept through the dust, and she clearly felt the misty mane hitting her ears.
The majestic and powerful horse galloped at a light speed, which gave her an illusory feeling.
She bowed her head slightly, and in the extreme noise, her heart gained incomparable tranquility.
She rode on the galloping horse, holding the reins in her hand, and in front of her was the vast world, which was the battlefield she was about to conquer.
Space and time have disappeared. On the horse trail, only she and her horse can travel thousands of miles and transcend time.
She believed that she had the power to control everything, to control the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and to turn this galloping and wild power into a smooth and docile stream.
She leaned forward slightly and rode forward.
Then people saw that the horse suddenly jumped out of the herd, raised its hooves, and rushed forward, straight ahead.
It didn't seem to want to surpass anyone, it just wanted to run towards its goal, it was as powerful as a rainbow, and no one could stop it.
People watched helplessly, watching it overtake several horses in an instant, just to the right of Ke Zhiming, and headed straight for the mountain road ahead.
People were stunned.
After a moment of stunnedness, there was a roar like a huge wave in the audience. People couldn't believe it. It was that female rider. She actually dared to challenge Ke Zhiming!
Someone was shouting frantically, calling out Ke Zhiming's name, asking him to get rid of this woman as soon as possible!
The atmosphere in the VIP seats was extremely tense. Everyone was waiting, almost without making a sound. Everyone held their breath and clenched the telescopes in their hands.
For a horse, this is a battle for fodder and a battle for honor.
For Ke Zhiming, this is a battle for the future and a battle for reputation.
But for the families present, this is a game of capital and the ultimate showdown of the strength of the horse racing industry.
This is even a life-and-death duel for the development direction of Greater Hong Kong, a battle for the reclamation of Yuen Chau Kok in Shatin and Stonecutters Island, and a battle for the helm of Hong Kong real estate!
Everyone almost bet their lives and property, invested their chips, and competed for Hong Kong. The huge amount of money related to the wealth of tens of millions of people was now placed on the one person and one horse at the racecourse.
Everyone was staring at the raised iron hooves of the horses and the thin backs of the riders, watching them bear the weight of a million tons, watching every muscle of theirs exerting force, watching them raise their hooves with all their strength, watching them drive forward and entangle tightly.
Zhou Wanlan clenched her fists tightly, squinted her eyes, and stared at the situation on the field.
She could see that Ke Zhiming had spare strength, but why, why didn't he quickly get rid of him at this time, what was he doing!
He seemed to have completely ignored Ye Tianhui on the right!
She almost shouted out loud, but her lips opened but no sound came out.
Suddenly, Ke Zhiming's horse stumbled, he gripped the reins tightly and spurred his horse to counterattack. It was obvious that he finally discovered Ye Tianhui who suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost.
However, it seemed too late.
Since he was careless, Ye Tianhui would never give him another chance.
Ye Tianhui jumped on her horse, and with a huge force wrapped in clouds and mist, she ran in front of him smoothly and rhythmically, occupying the road in front of him.
This is the inner circle, the precious inner circle. Once occupied by someone, they will have to pay ten times the price to get it back!
Zhou Wanlan stared at all this in a daze. At that moment, she felt that the sky above her collapsed!
How could this happen? Why did Ke Zhiming have no defense against Ye Tianhui at all?
He didn't even notice the woman next to him!
Meng Yinian narrowed his eyes and stared at the situation on the field. Naturally, he also found something strange.
Why could Ye Tianhui appear next to Ke Zhiming like this without being noticed at all? How did she surpass Ke Zhiming?
Ke Zhiming, such an experienced veteran, was actually surpassed by a novice female rider without any reaction?
There was a thunderous shout from the crowd. People looked at this scene crazily and incredulously. Some people beat their chests and stamped their feet, some screamed loudly, and some cheered for Teng Yunwu who had surpassed.
People screamed in pain, clenched their fists in despair, and couldn't understand. Of course, some people cheered!
For this incredible power, for this rare miracle, for this horse's courageous struggle against a strong enemy!
The camera was filming in all directions, countless long guns and short guns and telescopes were watching, and under the enthusiastic attention of so many people on the scene, Ye Tianhui rode the Tengyunwu, lashing the track with iron hooves, and stepped into the mountain road, which was also the most difficult road in this race.
You know, this is a circular mountain road, and you have to shuttle between countless hills and hills. If it is the outer circle, there is still a certain amount of turning space, but if it is the inner circle, without any turning space, it means that there are extraordinary requirements for riding skills.
To use an analogy, it is like driving a car, and still moving forward at high speed in various sharp turns.
People stared at the red figure, watching her rush forward like fire, without slowing down at all, and everyone's heart was lifted up.
Meng Yinian beside Gu Shizhang said abruptly: "Why doesn't she slow down!"
Zhou Wanlan was also staring at the field, and she was also confused, why didn't she slow down?
At this time, Gu Shizhang said: "Because she doesn't need to."
When he said this, he saw Ye Tianhui suddenly speed up, so people saw that horse and person rushing forward like lightning.
The 80,000 people in the stadium held their breath and stared closely, and people saw a miracle they had never seen in their lives!
The thousand-pound racehorse's body almost became a soft arc of light. It was like a nimble fish, nimbly and swiftly passing through the winding mountain road!
It didn't need to slow down or detour when turning!
It perfectly combined its huge and wild body with its agility and agility. It passed through the winding mountain roads, and its running route turned into a trailing arc!
No one had ever seen such a unique skill, not even Ke Zhiming!
If Ke Zhiming still had the courage to gather all his strength to attack again after the first defeat, then now, when he was overtaken by this female rider and when he looked at her superb reining skills, he was completely defeated.
This unknown newcomer has completely reached a height she has never reached before.
She is performing a show of her own. She has transformed the power of galloping into the softness of fingers on the mountain road, which is extremely wonderful.
She doesn't care about winning or losing at all. She just wants to display her amazing skills.
At this moment, all of Ke Zhiming's calmness and confidence collapsed. He held the reins loosely and had no strength to launch an attack.
This is a scene he can't imagine. This is a god descending to the world. This is a devastating blow to him.
Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan stared at the field closely, watching her rushing forward like a ball of fire, watching her incredible reining skills, and they clenched their fists.
Yes, she was right.
This was a skill that they could never surpass in their lifetime. This was the common limit of jockeys and racehorses!
She deserved that all the people in the world should kneel before her and worship her!
Sun Jiajing and Lao Zhou opened their mouths wide and murmured, "This is a god, not a human. I have never seen it before. It can do this."
This was the lazy horse Teng Yunwu. How could it do this?
The people in the audience were also stunned. Who had seen such a wonderful thing? Was this really a performance they could see?
In the initial shock, the crowd burst into applause, people shouted wildly, people waved flags and shouted, and some even rushed over excitedly, wanting to rush over the fence to see the scene more closely.
There was a fire burning in the sky above the racecourse, igniting all the enthusiasm to the extreme.
And in the VIP viewing seats, Mr. Ye leaned forward, his eyes wide open, tightly grasping the window display. He looked at his granddaughter's shocking performance, and his mouth couldn't close.
The other seats looked at it incomprehensible, and they couldn't believe their eyes at all. At
this moment, everyone almost forgot about winning or losing.
And in the midst of everyone's madness and shock, Ye Tianhui in a red riding suit took the lead, like a ball of fire passing over the finish line, and also passing through the hearts of the 80,000 horse fans present. So
the whole of Hong Kong was boiling.
