Chapter 88

If the vision could be focused, the racecourse would have already started to burn.

When the bell rang, the twelve horses were ejected like bullets, rushing forward.

The one rushing in the front was the Meng family's Feicuishanhe and another precious horse named Wanshishengyi. However, the two horses were strong and sturdy, and they flew past like lightning, leaving only a scar on the retina of everyone.

Mr. Feng, the chairman of the Jockey Club, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Well, this Feicui Shanhe is indeed a treasure of the time!"

Mr. Lu, the chief administrative officer next to him, also nodded: "This horse has an extraordinary momentum."

Meng Baohui heard this and smiled modestly: "It's just leading for a while, there is still a long way to go, the situation on the racecourse is ever-changing, and there are always accidents."

Mr. Ye looked at the field and saw that the horses were trying to grab the most advantageous position in the inner circle to reduce the distance behind. He took a quick look and found that his horse was actually lagging behind. His face was a little dull for a moment. However, after hearing what Meng Baohui said, he still smiled and said, "Your Emerald Mountain and River must be the undisputed number one. Who can compete with it?"

Hearing this, Meng Baohui asked, "Hey, Mr. Ye, where are your horses? Which one is yours? Why can't I see it?"

When asked this, Mr. Ye's face suddenly dimmed.

Meng Yinian beside him didn't expect his father to ask this directly.

He hurriedly said, "It's the blue No. 57, named Light. That horse is not very lucky. It seems that it was hit by another horse's leg just now?"

When he said this, everyone looked over and saw that the No. 57 horse named Light actually fell behind the herd.

Everyone sighed immediately, "This... is a bit of a pity!" They

looked regretful.

Zhou Wanlan beside him also looked over, and it was obvious that she was also a little surprised.

Because of the victory of the Hell King, she was always a little more cautious about Ye Tianhui's horse. She only thought that the horse that could come to participate in the international Grade 1 race must be a top-notch horse. Now it seems that it is no more than that.

Of course, she has some experience after all, and she dare not relax too much at the moment. She is still vigilant and observes the horse.

Ye Tianhui actually saw everything on the field clearly. Just now, when all the horses were sprinting forward, only Chen Zongwan was hit by the leg of a horse next to him at the start. As a result, he lost the lead and failed to grab the first formation, falling behind the herd.

But it didn't matter.

A few days before the competition, she led everyone to analyze various possible situations, possible opponents, and the advantages and disadvantages of various positions.

What strategy to adopt in the inner circle, how to chase in the outer circle, and how to turn disadvantages into advantages if falling behind, all of these have been carefully deduced.

Now that Chen Zongwan is lagging behind in the herd, it may not be an advantage.

You have to know that this is not an ordinary race, this is an international Grade 1 race, and the participants in this race are all top horses in Hong Kong, and each horse has a brilliant record.

If you keep competing with these people, you may not be able to gain an advantage by catching the light, so the best strategy is to let these famous horses fight for the leading position and the inner circle position first, let them fight among themselves first, and Chen Zongwan will lag behind the herd with the light, waiting for the opportunity, and when those people are slack, then sprint, break through the siege, and achieve results.

This strategy is of course risky. What if you can't catch up?

However, all the competitors are experts among experts. If you want to compete for the leading position in this group of horses from the very beginning, you will inevitably be squeezed out by the horses, and there is no doubt that something will go wrong.

So relatively speaking, this way of preserving your strength and watching the tigers fight from the mountain is the best. So

facing the strange looks of the crowd and Meng Baohui's obvious sense of superiority, she was very calm.

She could see that Chen Zongwan had not exerted his strength at this time. He was using the calmness he had trained in these days to control himself and suppress himself.

Even Shanguang couldn't hold back. After all, he was once a famous horse in the racing field. No matter how good-tempered he was, he was competitive. The horses were chasing each other, their hooves were flying, their tails were swinging, and the dust was rising. On both sides of the lane, there were the roars of the audience like waves and the enthusiastic screams.

The hormones in his kidneys were surging, and the running instinct written in his genes was stirring.

Ye Tianhui's sight passed through the high steps and fell on the track. She saw that Shanguang's ears were already erect.

Shanguang could no longer suppress his nature.

He wanted to rush.

But Chen Zongwan finally pressed it down. He pinched the reins and pressed the reins on Shanguang's back.

The horses ahead were fighting for the inner circle, the competition was fierce, and a little caution would lead to failure.

So you have to wait, wait for the best opportunity to take the lead.

Ye Tianhui stared at Chen Zongwan on the track. The distance was far, but her eyesight was good, and she clearly saw that the boy was unprecedentedly calm at this time.

This made her applaud him in her heart.

Patience, calmness, and lurking are so precious in this roaring racecourse.

She needs a rider who can suppress all the surging emotions in his heart at the critical moment and conquer the city for her.

In her eyes was the rider's hand holding the reins at this moment, but in her ears were the sighs of several big guys.

They were regretting, but it didn't matter. She had enough confidence that these regrets would eventually fall heavily to the ground.

She raised her eyes and smiled at Meng Yinian. At this time, Meng Yinian was obviously not optimistic. He stared at the arena without blinking.

Ye Tianhui was about to retract her gaze, but suddenly, she heard a cry of surprise.

She looked at the arena.

But in the dust raised by the horses, a passage appeared three meters in front of Chen Zongwan. He let go of the reins and drove the light through the gap.

Then everyone saw a man and a horse rushing through the narrow gap like lightning, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, the horses neighing, the dust flying, and the spectators screaming almost to the point of dying.

He succeeded.

He passed through the herd and instantly entered the first formation, almost side by side with Wanshi Shengyi, only lagging behind the leading Feicuishanhe.

Very good.

The racecourse was filled with thunderous applause, the crowd screamed in disbelief, the commentator excitedly introduced the current scene, and the news media took pictures crazily, with flashlights flashing.

In the VIP viewing area, Mr. Ye's slightly stiff face suddenly relaxed.

He asked Ye Tianhui with a smile: "Is this horse finally willing to charge?"

Ye Tianhui said respectfully: "Grandpa, racehorses have their own temperaments. Our horse is just slow. Let it be slow. Let's watch it slowly perform."

Slow -

as soon as these words came out, the faces of several bigwigs present immediately showed an indescribable expression.

Mr. Lu, the chairman of the Jockey Committee, was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "This is called if you don't say anything, it's better to startle people when you speak out. You have to wait for the right time to speak out!"

Old Master Ye was immediately humble: "No, no, the situation on the racing field is ever-changing. Who knows until the very end? We are just full of energy. We can't compare to Baohui's Emerald Mountains and Rivers, which is the well-deserved champion!"

Meng Baohui was actually a little worried when he was looking at the situation on the field. Hearing this, he complained in his heart.

However, he could only smile and say, "You can definitely catch up with our horse. Our horse is not worth mentioning."

Old Master Ye said modestly, "Look, you are the leading horse now. Look how fast it runs!"

Several big men came and went, each with their own hidden thoughts, but the young people present, Zhou Wanlan, Meng Yinian and others, did not want to listen to the gossip in the old man's words. Everyone was watching the field.

Ye Tianhui saw that at this moment, Wanshi Shengyi was obviously anxious. The jockey seemed unable to understand why a horse suddenly appeared in his inner circle. This was incredible!

The rider couldn't look back in this situation. He could only hear the galloping of thousands of horses behind him, but the cheers of the audience were too loud and heated. The sound of the galloping horses was drowned out by the cheers, and he couldn't judge the situation behind him at all.

He didn't know why a rider he had never seen before appeared on his left side. He didn't know whether everyone had caught up with him, or only this rider had emerged as a new force!

A cold and terrifying panic ran through the rider's body. He clutched the reins tightly and began to fear.

If he was caught up by many people, and he had no way to catch up with the emerald mountains and rivers in front of him, what should he do?

He gritted his teeth, lowered his body, whipped his horse with a whip, and then began to speed up.

From a distance, Ye Tianhui saw that the triumphant rider seemed to have lost his mind and was forced into a corner. He began to rush forward at a suicidal speed.

Why was it a suicidal speed? Because he did not leave any room for himself!

From the moment this rider began to sprint, she knew that this person was no longer an opponent.

Because at any time, a rider must have a subtle talent for interpreting the situation on the field, and must always be fully aware of the situation on the field.

Even if you don't look back, you must know the exact position of the eleven horses on the field.

Just like marching and fighting, there must be a marching map in the brain, and you must put yourself on that marching map to see the overall situation.

Once this map disappears, this person's heart can no longer be controlled.

In the VIP viewing area, several bigwigs stopped talking. Everyone held their breath, watching this world-class competition, watching the fierce competition.

On the track, Chen Zongwan stared at the front, staring at the sprinting Wanshi Shengyi, and Feicui Shanhe, who was one horse length ahead of him.

He saw the rider Wanshi Shengyi arch his body, and saw Wanshi Shengyi's horse's buttocks rise and fall violently. He certainly understood that this rider was sprinting madly.

This kind of sprinting has a price, this is a death-style sprint.

As long as he surpasses this person, this person's psychological defense will be broken, and he will have one less opponent.

He narrowed his eyes and tightly grasped the reins. Then, just when the opponent was about to run out of energy, he immediately drove the reins, hurricane-like, like a bullet shot through the gap next to the victory, and then chased from the outside, chasing wildly towards the Emerald Mountains and Rivers. At

this moment, the flagpole on the side of the road was blurry, the whistling sound in his ears was far away, he could not see anything, in his eyes and heart there was only the galloping horse in front of him.

That was a point, the object he wanted to surpass, the void he had been training hard for countless days and nights to defeat.

If he defeated it, he would be able to move towards victory, get applause, get money, and get everything he wanted.

Of course he knew that Ye Tianhui preferred Lin Jianquan, and Sun Jiajing and Lao Zhou also thought that Lin Jianquan had more potential.

He also admitted that Lin Jianquan was better than him.

But so what, Ye Tianhui still chose him.

She bet a lot of money and put herself in this opportunity to compete with those good horses from all over the world and those famous riders who had experienced hundreds of battles.

How could he let it down! !

Chen Zongwan tightened the reins, gritted his teeth and growled: "Chase!"

Then the tens of thousands of spectators present saw that the horse and the rider suddenly shot out like a laser.

In an instant, as if a dam burst, the young and frail rider used his horse-riding skills to gallop forward madly, while the horse chased after it with the force of thunder, heading straight for Emerald River and Mountain.

The rider of Emerald River and Mountain obviously felt it, and he also accelerated instantly, exerting all his strength to maintain his lead.

The herd of horses gradually scattered behind the two horses. Emerald River and Mountain and Light raced madly at a leading speed, so the race became a fight between two horses.

Meng Baohui took a breath and stood up directly.

He leaned forward, stared at the scene on the field with his eyes wide open.

Meng Yinian controlled his breathing and watched expressionlessly.

The Chief Executive and the Chairman of the Jockey Club also sat up straight, holding the sofa handles tightly, watching this wonderful scene.

This is the pinnacle competition of first-class horses, the final competition of Hong Kong's top horses!

Mr. Ye had stopped talking a long time ago. He gritted his teeth, and one of his hands was even shaking slightly.

Ye Tianhui noticed it. After all, she was old and couldn't stand too much stimulation.

She raised her hand inconspicuously and held the old man's hand soothingly.

The old man immediately held her hand back.

He finally calmed down and didn't lose face in front of so many people.

However, on the track at this time, when passing a bend, Chen Zongwan had already caught up with Feicuishanhe. The two riders even drove side by side for a while, but after several fierce sprints, Feicuishanhe suddenly couldn't hold on. Seeing

this, Chen Zongwan rushed even more furiously, driving forward madly with his eyes wide open.

This is the last moment, this is the darkness before victory.

You must rush forward, rush forward without any spare energy!

The finish line is gradually approaching, and the approaching finish line is flashing in front of him. What is that? That is victory, that is the happiness he has dreamed of.

At this moment, Chen Zongwan felt that the jockey beside him suddenly pulled the collar hard, and was about to surpass him with his last strength.

Chen Zongwan's blood ran cold instantly.

No!

Of course not!

Where was he at this moment?

He was on the opening track of the new season of the International Grade 1 Race in Hong Kong!

Behind him, there were eleven world-class horses stretching on the track, and on both sides of him, there were the crazy shouts of tens of thousands of spectators.

And in front of him, there was a huge prize of one million Hong Kong dollars, which was his greatest hope for success in his life!

If the opportunity was right in front of him, but he couldn't grab it, then his whole life would be shattered at this moment!

Chen Zongwan took a deep breath, drove the light, and sprinted forward.

It was as if there was music ringing in his ears, and as if there was a sweet taste surging in his throat. At this moment, Chen Zongwan felt unprecedented happiness.

He touched the finish line. He

touched the finish line with a distance of half a head ahead of Feicui Shanhe.

**********

There was thunderous applause in the audience, people shouted wildly, people shouted the English name "light" loudly, and some people even threw their hats excitedly onto the track.

Maybe someone won money, maybe someone lost money, but at this moment, people cheered for the wonderful horse racing, this was a speed beyond the limit.

Shanguang and Chen Zongwan were wildly admired. Some people put red ribbons on them and others sprinkled flowers on them.

The celebratory drums sounded, the pop band began to play, and reporters from all walks of life rushed over to interview the unknown winner.

Compared to the madness outside, the VIP viewing hall was unusually quiet.

Everyone knew clearly that someone lost and someone won.

The losers were savoring the cold and ruthless loss, and the winners were trying hard not to show too much joy.

Everyone looked at Meng Baohui inconspicuously, but saw that his face was ashen, he gritted his teeth slightly, and looked solemnly out the window, looking at the crazy and enthusiastic audience outside the window.

He could no longer put on his calm and respectable face, it was a bit difficult.

Sympathy appeared in everyone's eyes.

Meng Yinian on the side looked particularly helpless, but he cheered up and comforted Meng Baohui: "Dad, it's nothing."

Everyone pretended not to see it and looked away, then looked at Master Ye together.

Master Ye was already smiling without hiding it!

He patted the sofa happily and said excitedly: "We won, we won, we won!"

For a moment he clenched his granddaughter's hand: "Tianhui, Tianhui, your horse is amazing, you actually won! First place, first place!"

Then he looked at Ye Lizhen and Ye Wenyong on the side as if he couldn't believe it: "Did you see it, our horse won, first place, and got the first place, what a good sign!"

Ye Lizhen was a little embarrassed, but still a little "Yes, first place."

Ye Wenyong was obviously very happy, but he still tried his best to control his expression: "Yes, I won."

Ye Laozi: "By the way, how much is the prize money, how much Hong Kong dollars?"

Ye Wenyong quickly said: "It's 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars."

Ye Laozi was immediately happy and laughed: "It's actually 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars, so much money, I won so much money, so much money!"

When the people around heard this, three black lines appeared on their foreheads.

He, Ye Laozi, might spend hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars for a bottle of wine, and who knows how many Hong Kong dollars for a sip of tea. Didn't he donate millions of Hong Kong dollars a few days ago?

Now he is dancing here for 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars!

But he did win, and a win is a win.

It's normal for him to be happy after winning, but he just didn't act like nothing happened.

He's old now, so he should be happy if he wants to.

The Chief Executive and the Jockey Club staff who were present at the time all came forward to congratulate him.

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, since your horse won, you will be the one to ring the bell in the celebration ceremony, and then we will present the prizes together?"

Mr. Ye was already grinning from ear to ear at this time, he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I won't be polite then."

He then looked at Meng Baohui and said, "Baohui, thank you, thank you, then I will ring the bell?"

Meng Baohui's face was not good, but he still said stiffly, "Of course, of course."

Mr. Ning next to him also laughed at the scene,

but he also felt a lot of pressure.

You have to know that there are several races on the opening day, but a group of top bosses are watching here. If they win, they will be very happy, and if they lose, they will be very depressed. Look at Mr. Ye, after all, his granddaughter has done well. The race has been won, and it can be said that the fruit of victory is in hand. Next, just enjoy the race comfortably.

Anyway, he has won the first race, so he is relieved.

As for his own race, he doesn’t know what the situation is. Just look at the scene today. It’s not easy to run first.

For a moment, he looked at his daughter-in-law Zhou Wanlan helplessly.

Zhou Wanlan received the gaze of her father-in-law, and she was actually a little helpless in her heart.

She originally thought that it was an unknown horse, but she never thought that it was a surprise and won the first place.

If this is the case, then Ye Tianhui will have two horses with considerable strength, and in the next season she will definitely become his opponent, a strong opponent.

This made her feel that the situation was not good.

Meng Yinian, who was watching the scene, felt very uncomfortable.

He was the only one who knew the origin of light, but it was not true that the other party won because of light. After all, this international first-class race was full of famous horses, and each of them had a glorious past. Among these horses, light was considered to be of superior quality, but it was definitely not an absolute guarantee of victory.

So in the final analysis, it was still the ability of rider Ye Tianhui and their proper strategy.

He recalled the various things that the rider had just done, and he understood to some extent that the other party had drilled Confucius and was ready to go.

He took a deep breath and looked helplessly at his father with a solemn expression: "Dad, it's nothing. Victory and defeat are common in the military."

Meng Baohui tried to calm himself down and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's see what's next."

*************

Grandpa Ye went downstairs to attend the award ceremony. When he went downstairs, he happened to be a few steps behind. Ye Wenyong, Ye Lizhen and Ye Tianhui hugged Grandpa Ye.

Seeing that everyone around him was his own people, Grandpa Ye said, "Do you think I'm too out of control?" Ye

Lizhen's expression froze and he couldn't say it for a while.

Ye Wenyong frowned: "Grandpa has other plans in mind?"

Grandpa Ye looked at Ye Tianhui.

Ye Tianhui said, "Grandpa did it on purpose!"

Old Master Ye: "Oh?"

Ye Tianhui certainly understood that Old Master Ye was not someone who could not hide things, and he did this on purpose today.

She said, "The battle between the Ye family and the Meng family is already a battle for family fortunes. The Ye family must win and must influence the political decision on reclamation in Hong Kong. If that's the case, then you must build momentum for yourself. If you win, you'll be happy. There's no need to pretend here. If you pretend too much, you'll feel uncomfortable."

Old Master Ye listened and smiled with satisfaction, "You're right. This time we're facing the Meng family. We may not be their opponents. After all, they are very powerful. I'm afraid Meng Yinian's trump card is still behind. So since we've won this battle, we must make a big fuss about it, jump up and down, jump up and down to the stage, and seize every victory. "Even if you win a hundred games, it's useless if you don't say anything, you have to shout loudly."

Ye Lizhen suddenly realized: "Dad, you are right! You are right!"

Grandpa Ye: "Remember, don't be afraid of embarrassment, we should be straightforward, show off, and brag!"

Ye Tianhui: "Yes, so when the reporters will interview you later, Grandpa, remember to speak well."

Grandpa Ye laughed: "Of course."

At one point, Grandpa Ye went to participate in the award ceremony. The people who presented the awards with him were the chairman of the Jockey Club and the Chief Executive, and under the stage, there were gongs and drums, and the spotlights of major news media.

Obviously, in such a major event where all the people of Hong Kong celebrated together, Master Ye and these two people of unusual status attended the award ceremony together, which represented a kind of recognition and a symbol of prestige.

The news spread like the wind over the racecourse. Everyone knew that the dark horse that just came out was the Ye family's racehorse. The Ye family's horse won the championship in the fierce battle.

Everyone admired and envied it, and also worshipped it. People were proud of the horse, and the reputation of the Ye family rose rapidly.

Ye Tianhui and Ye Wenyong watched this scene from the stage, and naturally felt a little emotional.

Ye Wenyong: "Thank you so much this time."

The first race on the opening day, the latecomer who turned the tide and won, no matter which one, is enough to excite the audience.

According to the news he just heard, because of today's upset, the horse racing fans are very enthusiastic and have already started to bet crazily. It can be said that the excitement of this first race has greatly increased the enthusiasm of the horse racing fans. Now Hong Kong citizens have begun to participate, and the enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.

Ye Tianhui: "It's just luck."

Ye Wenyong sighed: "Forget it, don't be modest, it's not like you to be modest." Ye

Tianhui smiled and glanced at Ye Wenyong: "Actually, I have to thank you too, at least you didn't hold me back, not holding me back, this is the biggest help."

Ye Wenyong: "..."

He took a deep breath: "This is the truth!"

He must admit that Ye Tianhui won, and he was proud.

If the cake belonging to the Ye family can be made bigger, everyone will benefit, so the current cooperation is beneficial to everyone. Of course, if it comes to the stage of dividing the property in the future, everyone seems to stand on the opposite side of each other.

This is how brothers and sisters in the same family are, it seems destined to happen.

Ye Tianhui: "You stay here and watch. I'll go over to see my jockey."

Ye Wenyong smiled and said, "Thank and congratulate him for me. We will also give him extra rewards in the company later."

Ye Tianhui: "Okay, I get it. You have to give him a big bonus anyway."
