Chapter 33 "Listen to your wife, and you'll recover faster!"...
We drove all the way to the training base.
The roar of the engine could be heard several kilometers away, echoing through the sky.
Holding the data panel, Teng Zaiye ran towards the two drivers who had just finished the race and analyzed carefully: "You're 0.146 seconds behind. You need to brake a little later in the corner. Also, don't turn the steering wheel too fast, especially during the winter race. The roads are very likely to be icy and cause the tires to slip. You need to consider all the factors. Of course, most importantly, you must keep a stable mindset."
"Understood, Coach."
After giving the two drivers detailed instructions, he gave them a thorough dressing-down.
Teng Zaiye walked quietly behind Zhang Shuyan with his hands behind his back, glancing at the panel in her hand that recorded Luo Yunqing's racing data from the past twenty races.
Wow~ My little brother's grades are pretty good.
Zhang Shuyan turned off the screen, turned around, and flipped the phone behind her back. "Sneaking a peek?"
“How can this be called peeping? I did it openly and honestly.” Teng Zaiye said stiffly, without any guilt. “But to be fair, to achieve such results in about a month, Luo Yunqing is really amazing.”
Zhang Shuyan glanced at him indifferently and said, "Hmm."
That voice was very soft, almost like Teng Zaiye's auditory hallucination: "So you've accepted him?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Oh, it's okay to agree, it's not something to be ashamed of." Teng Zaiye continued to joke with her. A moment later, a very familiar black minivan drove into the base entrance.
Old Pei!
Wasn't he discharged from the hospital today? How did he end up here? Could it be... that he found out about Luo Yunqing's affair?
As he drove this short distance, a barrage of questions popped into his head. Only when the car stopped and Luo Yunqing got out did Teng Zaiye breathe a sigh of relief. "I thought Old Pei was here!"
"He's at home recovering from his injury."
Luo Yunqing closed the car door and turned back to look at the car with a puzzled expression.
Teng Zaiye: "What's wrong?"
"When I drove over, I felt that the brakes were not very responsive."
In racing, especially during cornering and drifting, the most important thing is braking performance. Perhaps because he has been practicing a lot lately, Luo Yunqing can feel the slightest lag.
"Find a repairman to take a look."
"You've turned this place into a repair shop, huh?" Teng Zaiye chuckled and scolded, then ordered someone to tow it to the garage for inspection. "Speaking of which, why did you suddenly decide to drive Lao Pei's car?"
"trouble."
Luo Yunqing always used club activities as an excuse. In order not to be discovered, she had to pretend to go to school. This back and forth took up a lot of time.
It's not that we have to hide it, but if we really tell, given Pei Yanli's personality, she'll worry if he comes home late one day and something has happened.
"I see." Teng Zaiye then asked, "How's Lao Pei?"
"The surgery went smoothly. Next, it's time to heal the wound and prepare for reconstruction." Luo Yunqing went to the locker room to change into her racing suit.
After putting on their helmets and headsets, they drove out of the Mercedes-Benz that Zhang Shuyan had further modified.
“As I said before, the number of curves on Xijin Mountain is more than three times that of the base.” Zhang Shuyan repeatedly increased the difficulty for him, saying, “Today, let’s run three laps based on the number of curves on Xijin Mountain.”
Luo Yunqing: "Okay."
*
The moment the red light turned green, the Mercedes shot off like an arrow, its afterimage quickly disappearing from sight, only clearly visible on the monitor screen.
It's very fast, and its drift control in corners is excellent.
Teng Zaiye then peeked at the data panel that was automatically recording data. His heart rate was basically stable at around 165, and his blood pressure did not show any abnormal increase.
"That's impressive. In just one month, you've already calmed down."
Zhang Shuyan then sighed, "It's a pity I don't go pro."
With this mindset and current achievements, Luo Yunqing is fully capable of entering the professional group and participating in international competitions.
But I declined her invitation last time.
"He did it all just to give Lao Pei a birthday present..."
A month ago, Teng Zaiye was laughing at him for being arrogant and ignorant, but now he's the one laughing.
"Hey! Old Pei is so lucky. If Xiao Yuyu treated me like that, he would go crazy on the spot."
Zhang Shuyan: "Look at your pathetic self."
*
As dusk approached, the three laps were almost finished.
The high beams drew short streaks of light on the three consecutive S-shaped curves, closely following the rear of the car. The black Mercedes seemed to have grown wings, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through the smoke and crossed the finish line smoothly.
Luo Yunqing, panting heavily, took off his helmet. His racing suit, which was custom-made for him, was already soaked through, and the ends of his black hair were stuck together in strands.
Teng Zaiye quickly brought over a bottle of lightly salted water, clapping his hands repeatedly while holding the data panel, exclaiming, "Little brother, you're awesome!"
"Boss Luo." The mechanic came over at this moment, his carbon fiber gloves covered in engine oil, and he hesitated to speak.
Luo Yunqing: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the car?"
"The brakes did have a problem." The mechanic took him to the garage and found the brake fluid line on the van. "It was slightly cracked, but luckily it was discovered early. If it had been driven a few more times, the brakes would definitely have failed. This... doesn't look like a normal crack at all."
There was a noticeable scratch on the brake line, and some brake fluid was leaking out.
Luo Yunqing looked over, her lips pressed tightly together.
He remembered that when he was discharged from the hospital at noon, although Chen Zhao was the one who drove him, he felt that there were no problems. After that...
"What happened? What happened?" Teng Zaiye came over and immediately saw through it. "Someone must have cut it!"
As soon as the voice rose, it belatedly became clear that this was the car that Old Pei usually took to the hospital for check-ups, but Luo Yunqing had driven it on a whim today.
He then lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that someone wants to harm Old Pei?"
“Master Xu, could you please replace...replace the oil pipeline?” Luo Yunqing didn’t reply, then added, “Don’t throw away the old one either, give it to me, I’ll take it back. Also…”
He thought for a moment, then pointed to the oil pipeline again, "Give me another one, 'exactly the same'."
After changing out of his racing suit, Luo Yunqing drove back to Four Seasons Cloud Top.
I parked the car in the garage, walked around, and glanced at the surveillance camera that had just been installed in the upper left corner.
…………
"What did you say!"
That evening, Pei Wenxian returned home only to find out that his wife had gone to Four Seasons Cloud Top. "What were you doing there!"
"Didn't my second brother get discharged from the hospital?" Wang Manshu calmly put down her teacup, glanced at him indifferently, and said, "You, as the eldest brother, are so busy, can't I even go and visit him on your behalf?"
"Visit?" Pei Wenxian took a few large strides, grabbing her shoulders tightly. "Don't I know what you're planning? Do you know what might happen if we're found out..."
"No, it won't happen." Wang Manshu brushed his hand away, full of confidence. "For now, it won't be discovered."
She's not that stupid.
As soon as she left, Pei Yanli got into trouble. Isn't it obvious that it was her?
We'll just do a little something, so he won't know a thing.
"How do you know we won't be discovered!" Pei Wenxian's face flushed red, and he snorted heavily. "You think you're so smart!"
"Xiao Heng is into racing. I asked him, and he only mentioned a little bit, so I didn't really get a feel for it." Wang Manshu gestured with her index finger. "Unless you're a top-tier racer, look at Chen Zhao, and that Luo Yunqing, who has that kind of skill?"
"But what if?"
"What if, what if! You're just worried about what if?" Wang Manshu was furious. "If he's really crippled or dead, the entire Pei family will be yours. Do you think we'll continue to suffer this humiliation? Think about it, how many years have we been trampled on and laughed at by others because of him? And how many years have I been laughed at because of you!"
From the moment she married into the Pei family, whenever she went out, no matter where she went, she was always referred to as "Second Master, Second Master!" Even though she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Pei family, what was the result? Xiao Heng only made a small mistake, but Pei Yanli forced her to open the ancestral hall and, in front of the ancestral tablets, mercilessly whipped her.
This time, the old man even blocked Xiao Heng's path to the group's headquarters.
Did they give the eldest son's family a way out?
“Now that things have been done, there’s no choice but to go all the way.” Wang Manshu slowly stood up and looked directly at him: “As long as you don’t say anything and pretend you know nothing, the position of head of the family and the company will naturally be yours.”
Pei Wenxian closed his eyes tightly and clenched his fists.
She knew he would eventually give in.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
However, before he could completely exhale, there was a knock on the door.
"Madam, you have a package."
express delivery?
Which courier service?
She hasn't bought anything recently.
"Bring it in."
The package was small and very light. Wang Manshu picked up a pair of scissors, cut open the seal, and opened it.
The scissors clattered to the ground, nearly piercing the foot.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Wenxian glanced down into the box, where there was only one thing: a brake oil hose covered in engine oil.
His expression changed drastically.
"This is what you meant by 'no one will find out'!"
Wang Manshu was in no better shape; her face was deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat quickly appeared on her forehead. "Impossible! How could this be?"
"How could that be?" Pei Wenxian gritted his teeth and sneered, "You think you're the only smart one? We don't usually have any contact, so if you suddenly show up, he'll be suspicious?"
Wang Manshu was still incredulous. She had clearly asked someone to do it so discreetly, how could it have been discovered so quickly?
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't do anything."
Pei Wenxian: "You didn't do it, but what about the bodyguards you brought? If Xiao Li reports this to the police station, you won't be able to escape responsibility either!"
In an instant, a tremendous panic engulfed the country.
Wang Manshu trembled violently, unable to stand steadily, and could only barely hold onto the corner of the table. She was the eldest wife of the Pei family; she absolutely could not, absolutely could not go to the police station because of something like this!
She bit her lip hard, then grabbed the scissors to cut the dirty oil pipe. The pipe was unusually hard, and she poked her hand several times, accidentally cutting herself and drawing blood.
Pei Wenxian quickly stopped her, "Alright, what's the use of ruining it? Xiao Li already knows."
"If it's destroyed, there will be no evidence." With her hair disheveled and her face grime undone, Wang Manshu looked up, her eyes bloodshot, as if she had gone mad. "What good would it do to know if there's no evidence?"
She then burst out laughing. As she laughed, she noticed a thin card inside the delivery box.
Turn it over: I knew you'd ruin it. So, I kept the real oil pipeline. ＝^_^=
…………
Luo Yun rested her chin on her hand, picked up the evidence that had been sealed in a plastic bag, shook it a couple of times, and smiled with pleasure.
"Boss lady, this is enough evidence." After hearing what had happened, Chen Zhao was both angry and delighted. "Let's call the police!"
“No rush.” Luo Yunqing shook her head back and forth. “Don’t you think this is better? To live in fear forever. To never know when I will produce this evidence, to live in constant anxiety.”
In his previous life, he didn't have a deep impression of this first wife. It was only later, when he was investigating Pei Yanli's cause of death and came to the Pei family, that he learned that this head of the family had been a devout Buddhist for many years and never left her home.
I never expected her to do something like this.
Indeed, like mother, like son.
"So despicable, they deserve to be taught a lesson!" Chen Zhao snorted indignantly. "Not a single good person in the whole family! The boss has just started to do well, and they're already so impatient. If something really happens, does she think they can get away with it?"
"They probably think that with Ali gone, the Pei family can only rely on them, and they also rely on the fact that the old man won't completely cut off their path for Ali's sake."
Luo Yunqing had this in mind. "What's the point of arresting her? Even if she's sentenced, it won't be for long. It would be better if she lived in constant fear, never knowing when the sword of Damocles would fall from her head."
"The landlady is ruthless."
"What did you say?"
"No, no, no, I meant, boss lady, great idea!" Chen Zhao quickly corrected herself, gave him a thumbs up, and then asked, "What about the boss..."
"Don't tell him for now."
I'm in the recovery period right now, and my body and mind are already fragile. If I knew that my older brother and sister-in-law were so eager for me to die, I would be heartbroken.
"So that he won't overthink things."
"good."
Outside the study, a pair of hands, their knuckles white from gripping so tightly, then silently released their grip and maneuvered the wheelchair away without a sound.
Back in my room, scenes from the past kept flashing before my eyes.
"Xiao Li, this is your sister-in-law Man Shu."
"The big belly... means your sister-in-law is pregnant with your nephew."
"You'll have a companion when your little nephew is born."
His older brother, 23 years his senior, brought home a woman, while his ears were filled with his father's angry curses.
"What about Miss Tang is unworthy of you? Why did you have to find someone like this from outside! Don't think I don't know that this so-called Miss Wang is just an illegitimate daughter of Wang Jianshan!"
"You brought her back pregnant? Fine, fine, you want to marry her? Go ahead, it's up to you!"
The father hit his eldest brother for the first time and didn't give him a good look at the wedding.
He... didn't really like this sister-in-law. When his older brother was around, she would speak gently and invite him to have some snacks with her. But as soon as his older brother left, her expression would change.
He preferred Tang's older sister, Tang Ya-jun's aunt.
Sadly, not long after her brother's wedding, that woman, working as a borderless doctor, went to a war-torn country to provide assistance. Later, it was said that she was tragically killed by a stray bullet while protecting a child.
As he grew older, he became more and more able to see the disgust in Wang Manshu's eyes, which gradually turned into fear and dread.
So at the age of thirteen, he took Chen Zhao abroad.
He thought things might be better if he weren't there.
Unexpectedly, what she wanted was for him to disappear completely.
On what grounds?
Pei Yanli strolled past those scenes, gazing at the cane leaning against the bedside, and Xiao Luo…
"Mr. Pei, I've come to bring you good fortune."
Xiao Luo has done so much for him; he can't continue to be depressed.
Since you don't want him to live, then... you'll live well and show them!
Pei Yanli gripped his cane and slowly, bit by bit, moved to his feet. He wanted to stand up; he absolutely had to stand up.
"Honey, dinner's ready!"
"husband!"
Luo Yunqing pushed open the door and came in, and saw that his arms were tense, he was holding his cane and struggling to get up from the wheelchair.
For a moment, he forgot what he was going to say, staring blankly as the person slowly straightened their shoulders and back, and a smile appeared on their pale face as they finally stood up.
"Xiao Luo."
As he turned around due to inertia, his cane suddenly lost its grip and slipped.
Luo Yunqing then came to her senses, rushed over in one stride, grabbed the person, and slammed them heavily to the ground.
"Oh my goodness, what are you two doing?"
It was getting late, and Chen Zhao was about to leave when he thought he'd come over to say hello. Seeing the situation inside, he quickly helped the boss, who was pinning someone down, into a wheelchair, and then asked, "Is the boss's wife alright?"
"fine."
Luo Yunqing quickly got up and went to check Pei Yanli's hand. His right hand had hit the floor while he was protecting the back of Pei Yanli's head.
He rubbed it and blew on it a couple of times. "If you want to practice using crutches, call out to me."
"I'm sorry." She touched his head with her other hand. "Does anything hurt?"
"I'm not in pain, you're the one who's in pain." Luo Yunqing pointed at his hand. "Next time you have to call me. You can't be alone, it's too dangerous."
After that, Luo Yunqing tried her best to hide the cane and only take it out when she needed to practice.
Every night, without fail, after his bath, I apply medicine to his legs and occasionally poke them to see if he reacts.
“The wound has almost healed.” Pei Yanli discussed with him, “Let’s practice for an extra hour tomorrow.”
"No." Luo Yunqing refused without hesitation: "Half an hour is already more than enough. Any more would be too much of a burden on your body."
"But……"
"Dr. Tang also said that we can't, we can't rush things. If you rush..." Luo Yunqing suddenly leaned closer, "If you rush things, then there won't be any more goodnight kisses in the future."
"no!"
Does he mean it can't be done just because he says so?
Luo Yunqing then moved a considerable distance away, saying, "If you don't agree, then you don't have it."
"Little Luo~"
"You have to listen to me."
"……good."
"That's more like it." Hearing the answer she wanted, Luo Yunqing quickly leaned in and kissed the corner of his mouth. "Be good. Listen to your wife, and you'll recover faster!"
