Chapter 104
When Mr. Feng heard this, he was also surprised. Who could have thought that things would come to this point?
It was originally a happy birthday, but both parties got angry and started gambling huge sums 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 starting to compete with each other.
He could only say, "Well, in that case, I will be your witness."
In this gamble, the Ye family and the Ning family are betting against each other to see who will be the winner.
If Ye Tianhui wins, the Ye family will get shares in the Ning family shipyard. At the same time, Mr. Gu and Mr. Ye will each give Ye Tianhui a commercial property and 1% of the Ye family's shares.
After this agreement was made, everyone felt differently when looking at Ye Tianhui.
If she could really win, the moment she walked off the racetrack, she would become rich overnight, her net worth would increase a hundredfold in an instant, and she would become one of the richest women in Hong Kong.
If she loses, the Ye family will lose all face this time.
Of course, she was bound to lose anyway. Who could believe she would win?
Everyone racked their brains to think about how she could win, but it still seemed impossible.
Unless Ke Zhiming suddenly falls to the ground and dies, even if Ke Zhiming is gone, there are still ten racehorses present today, and they are all fierce warriors who have fought their way through one level after another.
Who could be afraid of this young lady who is just starting out?
Amidst everyone's gazes, Ye Tianhui raised her wrist and looked at her watch.
Afterwards, she smiled and said, "Everyone, there are only fifteen minutes left before the game. I'm going to go down to compete. I'll come back to report to the elders after the game is over."
Everyone: ...
Zhou Wanlan pursed her lips tightly, feeling a sense of unease rising in her heart.
Ye Tianhui was too calm, so calm that it was hard to guess who she was.
At this time, as a jockey, she should be on high alert, but she was so indifferent and didn't seem to take it seriously at all.
She just watched Ye Tianhui go down the stairs, watching her confident and calm demeanor, and her heroic posture as she walked down the stairs.
She felt a little dazed, thinking that if the situation was different, she would appreciate this girl and respect her.
But now, this person is her enemy.
She would rather she become her defeated opponent!
At this time, the competition was about to begin and all the old gentlemen took their seats.
She took a deep breath and went downstairs.
But when he was going downstairs, he happened to see Gu Shizhang.
He was standing not far 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 did not look away, he was still concentrating on looking at Ye Tianhui not far away.
Zhou Wanlan said, "You are indulging her, allowing her to make such a bet."
Gu Shizhang was naturally not short of money. In fact, these bets were nothing in his eyes. In other words, even if Ye Tianhui poked a hole in the sky, he could easily fill it up.
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "No regrets after making a move. Since we've made the bet, then let's make it."
Zhou Wanlan stood there and looked at the preparation area, where Ke Zhiming was also ready.
She sneered: "Are you so sure she will win?"
Gu Shizhang: "Of course."
Zhou Wanlan: "Where does this confidence come from?"
Gu Shizhang: "Of course it came from Ye Tianhui."
Zhou Wanlan was surprised. Of course she knew that he and Ye Tianhui were in love and were deeply in love.
This is true, you can tell from the way they look at each other.
But now Gu Shizhang actually called Ye Tianhui by her full name, the feeling was very different.
Gu Shizhang then retracted his gaze and looked at her calmly: "When I advised you that day, I didn't mean to set a trap for you. I did it out of friendship."
Zhou Wanlan was slightly stunned.
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 some advice."
He looked at her and said, "Second Young Madam, Ye Tianhui will not lose. Since she wants to gamble, she will definitely win."
When Zhou Wanlan heard this, a chill ran down 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 from the VIP viewing area, the reporters who were everywhere had already got the news, so in an instant, the rumor spread rapidly and many people in the industry present knew about it.
You must know that since Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan became famous, the information about the horse owner Ye Tianhui has spread like wildfire, and everyone knows about this rich lady.
Some people even heard that she had a pet horse.
When everyone found out that Ye Tianhui was planning 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 young lady doing? Is she here to make people laugh?
And that lazy horse? I heard she's a lazy horse who doesn't do anything, doesn't train, and yet she's competing in the Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race? Does she even know what she's doing?!
You should know that now that Ke Zhiming has made a comeback, the veteran is still as powerful as ever. Although he was defeated by Nie Pingqi who rode Invincible Power in the last competition, his momentum is still as unstoppable as ever.
In this Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race, his strength on the field was almost overwhelming.
Therefore, in this Queen's Cup Mountain Race, the person with the loudest support was naturally Ke Zhiming. Almost the majority of the people in the entire stadium bet on Longhua Beauty. The entire audience was almost drowned out by the calls of Longhua Beauty. There was even a large banner with Longhua Beauty running on the side hung by horse fans.
It can be said that this is almost a special performance of Longhua Beauty.
In this situation, there actually appeared such a lazy horse, and she was a female rider.
Most people accept it. It doesn’t matter who does what. Their Ke Zhiming will definitely win, and their Longhua Beauty is the well-deserved number one!
But there were also some people who were shocked, dissatisfied and protested strongly, and they were the horse racing fans who bet on Teng Yunwu.
Originally, some horse racing fans had studied Teng Yunwu and thought that it would be Lin Jianquan or Chen Zongwan who would control Teng Yunwu, so they placed some bets - this is not surprising, after all, there are so many horse racing fans in Hong Kong, and they place bets on everything, so everyone would hope for an upset.
But at this moment, they actually saw a little-known jockey, a female jockey!
Now some people started to protest, and there was even some commotion on the field, but the security guards quickly calmed the situation down.
According to the rules before this race, jockeys can indeed be changed in this race, and there is no designated jockey.
So some Tengyunwu bettors beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling that they had lost money and been cheated. They thought that this Jockey Club was too shady and was simply cheating people out of their money!
As for those horse racing fans who bought Longhua Beauty, they naturally became more and more excited. They must win, they must win!
At this point, there were only thirty minutes left until the race, so she quickly began the pre-race process and re-weighed herself to verify her weight.
Different competitions and tracks have different weight requirements. This competition is a mountain cross-country race, and the weight requirements were announced before the competition.
According to that weight requirement, excluding the weight of the helmet, goggles, number bib, whip, safety vest, etc., Ye Tianhui's weight must be between 105 pounds and 118 pounds, which is equivalent to between 47.25KG and 53KG in kilograms.
Ye Tianhui looks slim and slender at first glance, but in fact she is very tall. In addition, due to long-term exercise, her body is relatively strong, which makes her heavier. Fortunately, she has paid attention to controlling her weight in the past few days and her weight is perfectly within the standard.
Afterwards, she carried the saddle and extra weight bag, was weighed again, and only after being confirmed as qualified did she proceed to the competition preparation area.
In the competition preparation area, Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan were there, as were Sun Jiajing and Lao Zhou.
This kind of secret cannot be hidden from the comrades around him. They naturally know that Ye Tianhui has been secretly training Teng Yunwu during this period, and Teng Yunwu's strength should not be underestimated.
But they were still worried and had no idea why Ye Tianhui made such a decision.
In their hearts, Ye Tianhui was indeed excellent, and Teng Yunwu was indeed good, but this kind of excellence and goodness was far from enough to show their skills in such a top competition.
This is bound to be a joke.
But she is the boss, so she has the final say. Since she wants to experience it, they will naturally do their best to support her.
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.
Afterwards, he looked at her and finally said, "Yes."
Ye Tianhui smiled: "Where does the confidence come from?"
Lin Jianquan: "I don't know, but I just believe you."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Jianquan, Zongwan, I can tell you this: in this lifetime, I will only let Teng Yunwu fight once, and I will only ride him once."
She paused, smiled, and said, "But you can spend your lifetime to surpass me."
After saying that, she went straight to the weighing area.
Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan were both stunned, and then they looked at each other.
Then, they looked towards the gate area together.
At this time, all the jockeys were ready. Surrounded by trainers and logistics staff, they each led their horses to make final preparations.
Ye Tianhui looked through the crowd and happened to see Ke Zhiming holding the hand of Longhua Beauty.
Ke Zhiming's gaze happened to be directed straight at her. When their eyes met, Ye Tianhui clearly felt the wariness and inquiry in Ke Zhiming's eyes.
Ke Zhiming is not an ordinary person. He obviously has a sharp intuition like a god or ghost. In his heart, he has 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 Ye Tianhui smiling.
In the winter sunshine, he thought the girl had a beautiful smile, calm and composed. When he saw her smiling like that, an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
This reminded him of the first time he got on a horse and the first time he participated in a formal competition. He was young, thin and silent, but full of ambition.
He is ambitious and full of confidence, thinking that he can conquer the world, but deep down there is a cowardly self who is afraid of failure.
At this moment, seeing the girl's smile, he felt like he was back to that moment again, where cowardice and determination were intertwined, making him full of confidence and anxiety.
He lowered his eyes and adjusted his saddlery 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 has the power to overcome everything.
But he still couldn't help but think about what Zhou Wanlan said to him and the uneasiness in Zhou Wanlan's eyes.
If this is a war, there are three types of people you should be wary of: the elderly, children and women.
Because these three types of people are by default weaklings who fight against the world with strength. Once they go to the battlefield, it means that they have special skills and must be doubly guarded against.
But now he was a little confused. He didn't know what the girl in front of him was thinking.
What special skills did she master?
While I was thinking all these things, the race was about to begin and the jockeys mounted their horses and passed the gates.
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 flexible and firm power.
He took a deep breath, gripped the reins, and steeled himself.
This was all just psychological warfare. He was a seasoned warrior and shouldn't have been defeated by a novice female rider like this.
At this time, Ye Tianhui jumped onto the horse. She held the reins and looked ahead. There was a mountain road ahead, which was rugged and uneven, and even had many steep and sudden turns. These were all things she needed to conquer.
She also heard a loud roar from the audience, people cheering wildly and waving flags.
Ye Tianhui knew that they were not only racing for their beloved racehorses, but also for the horse tickets in their hands and for the chance to win generous rewards.
She had studied the data beforehand and found that the vast majority of horse racing fans bet on Longhua Beauty, and those who bet on Teng Yunwu accounted for about 0.3 percent of the total, which was not a lot.
She wanted to win. After winning, she would let these 0.3% of horse racing fans receive generous rewards, let the Ye family stand out at this birthday banquet, and let herself get the reward bet by the two old men.
If she doesn't take action, it's fine. But once she does, she will definitely come back with a full load.
If she wins this race, the Ye family will be her world from now on, and her reputation in the Hong Kong horse racing world will soar.
While I was thinking this, the game had already begun.
As the flag was waved, the starting bell rang suddenly, and almost at the moment the bell landed, the well-trained Teng Yunwu lowered his front body and slammed his horse's hooves into the runway ahead. With that fierce and short pause, the thousand-pound horse's body carried Ye Tianhui and rushed out lightly and swiftly.
On the platform, Gu Shizhang was staring at the horse and the man.
Her flexible and slender body was arched, fitting perfectly on the horse's back, keeping pace with the rhythm of Tengyun's running.
She had naturally been training all this time, and even though she didn't say it, he knew it.
It turned out that these trainings were effective and helped her regain her old feeling.
He seemed to see the female general who had fought her way through obstacles in her previous life. Her riding and archery skills were enough to put all the men in the world to shame. She had once commanded thousands of troops with a single sword.
As he watched, Zhou Wanlan beside him murmured, "She's much more exciting than I thought, but can she beat Ke Zhiming? Is it possible?"
A voice nearby said, "I also want to know where she gets the confidence from."
Zhou Wanlan looked over and saw that it was Meng Yinian who said this.
Obviously Meng Yinian was also paying close attention to the outcome of this game.
If Ke Zhiming and Ye Tianhui were rivals in this match, then once Ke Zhiming lost and Ye Tianhui advanced to the finals, it would inevitably threaten the Meng family's status.
Of course, if Ke Zhiming enters the finals, he will also become a threat to Nie Pingqi.
So for Meng Yinian today, when enemies confront each other, he can sit on the mountain and watch the fight, but he is also afraid.
Gu Shizhang's eyes were always following the figure on the field, and he didn't even look at Meng Yinian.
At this time, the twelve horses had rolled across the straight ahead with a loud rumbling sound. The horses gradually dispersed, and the ones running in the front were Ke Zhiming and two other famous horses, while Ye Tianhui, riding Teng Yunwu, was chasing closely behind them.
The rhythm of rising clouds and mist is smooth, light and swift, like a gale.
He smiled and said to the two people beside him: "Next you can see my girlfriend's rein control skills."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tianhui began to counterattack.
At this moment, Ye Tianhui held the reins lightly and leaned forward. In her ears were the shouts of 80,000 people present and the earth-shaking sound of horse hooves.
On a subtropical winter day, the dry, cold wind blew dust and she could clearly feel the misty mane fluttering against her ears.
The majestic and powerful horse galloping at a light speed gave her an illusory feeling.
She lowered her head slightly, and in the midst of the extreme noise and clamor, her heart gained incomparable peace.
She rode on a galloping horse, reins in hand, with a vast world ahead of her, the battlefield she was about to conquer.
Space and time have disappeared. On the horse trail, there are only her and her horse, who can travel thousands of miles and transcend time.
She believed that she had the power to control everything, to control the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon, and to turn this surging and wild power into silky and docile flowing water.
She leaned forward slightly and urged her horse forward.
Then people saw that the horse suddenly jumped out from the herd, raised its hooves, and galloped forward, heading straight ahead.
It doesn't seem like it wants to surpass anyone, it just wants to run towards its goal, it is so powerful that no one can stop it.
People watched helplessly as it overtook several horses in an instant, and headed straight for the mountain road ahead just to the right of Ke Zhiming.
People were stunned.
After a moment of stunned silence, a roar like a huge wave came from the audience. People couldn't believe it. It was that female jockey who dared to challenge Ke Zhiming!
Someone was shouting wildly, calling 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 in silence, holding their breath and holding the binoculars 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 his future and reputation.
But for the families present, this is a game of capital among various companies and the ultimate showdown of strength in the horse racing industry.
This is even a life-and-death duel for the development direction of Greater Hong Kong, a dispute over the reclamation of Yuen Chau Kok in Sha Tin and Stonecutters Island, and a battle for the helm of Hong Kong real estate!
Everyone almost bet their lives and fortunes on the race for supremacy in Hong Kong. Huge sums of money involving the fortunes of tens of millions of people were now placed all on the shoulders of one man and one horse at the racetrack.
Everyone was staring at the horses' raised iron hooves and the riders' arched thin backs, watching them bear a tremendous weight, watching every muscle of theirs exerting force, watching them raise their hooves with all their might, watching them ride side by side in a desperate entanglement.
Zhou Wanlan clenched her fists tightly, narrowed her eyes, and stared at the situation on the field.
She could see that Ke Zhiming had enough strength to spare, but why, why didn't he quickly shake it off at this moment, what was he doing!
He seemed to have completely ignored Ye Tianhui on his right side!
She almost screamed, but her lips moved but no sound came out.
Suddenly, Ke Zhiming's horse stumbled. He tightened his grip on the reins and spurred his horse back. Apparently, he had finally noticed Ye Tianhui, who had suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost.
However, it seems too late.
Since he neglected it, Ye Tianhui would never give him another chance.
Ye Tianhui leaped onto his horse, and with the immense power in the clouds, he ran smoothly and rhythmically in front of him, occupying the road ahead of him.
This is the inner circle, the precious inner circle. Once it is occupied by someone, you 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 as if the sky above her had collapsed!
How could this happen? Why did Ke Zhiming have no defense against Ye Tianhui at all!
He didn't even notice the woman who appeared next to him!
Meng Yinian narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the situation on the field. Naturally, he also noticed something unusual.
Why could Ye Tianhui appear next to Ke Zhiming without being noticed at all? How did she surpass Ke Zhiming?
How could an experienced rider like Ke Zhiming be overtaken by a novice female jockey without any reaction?
Thunderous shouts erupted from the crowd, people looked at this scene madly and in disbelief, some beat their chests and stamped their feet, some screamed loudly, and some cheered for Teng Yunwu who was catching up.
People screamed in pain, people clenched their fists in despair, people couldn't understand, and of course some people cheered!
For this incredible power, for this rare miracle, for this horse's courageous fight against powerful enemies!
The cameras were filming in all directions of 360 degrees, and countless cameras and telescopes were staring. Under the fanatical gaze of so many people at the scene, Ye Tianhui rode the Tengyunwu, with its iron hooves whipping the runway, and stepped directly into the mountain road, which was also the most difficult road in this race.
You have to know that 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 room for turning, but if it is the inner circle, without any turning space, it means that extraordinary riding skills are required.
To give an example, it is like driving a car and continuing to move forward at high speed despite all kinds of sharp turns.
People stared at the red figure, watching her sprint forward like fire without slowing down at all, and everyone's heart was lifted.
Meng Yinian, who was beside Gu Shizhang, suddenly said, "Why doesn't she slow down?"
Zhou Wanlan was also staring at the field. She was also confused. Why didn't she slow down?
But at this time, Gu Shizhang said: "Because she doesn't need it."
As he said this, Ye Tianhui suddenly accelerated, and people saw that the horse and the man rushed towards the mountain road ahead like lightning.
Eighty thousand people in the stadium held their breath and stared closely, and then people saw a miracle they had never seen in their lives!
The body of the thousand-pound racehorse almost became a soft arc of light. It was like a nimble fish, nimbly and swiftly moving through the winding mountain road!
It does not need to slow down or go around when turning!
It perfectly combines a huge and wild body with agility and agility. It shuttles through the winding mountain roads, and its running route turns into a trailing arc!
No one has ever seen such a stunt, not even Ke Zhiming!
If, after the initial defeat of being overtaken, Ke Zhiming still had the courage to gather all his strength to attack again, then now, when he was overtaken by this female jockey and when he looked at her superb reining skills, he was completely defeated.
This unknown newcomer has completely reached heights she has never reached before.
She was performing a show of her own, transforming the surging power into the gentle movements on the mountain path, which was brilliant and vivid.
She doesn't care about winning or losing, she just wants to show off her amazing skills to shock the world.
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 was a scene he could not imagine. This was the god coming to the world. This was a crushing blow to him.
Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan stared at the field closely, watching her rushing forward like a ball of fire, and seeing her incredible reining skills, they clenched their fists.
Yes, she was right.
This is a magical skill that they cannot surpass in their entire lives. This is the common limit of jockeys and racehorses!
She deserves everyone in the world to kneel down and worship her!
Sun Jiajing and Lao Zhou opened their mouths wide and murmured, "This is a god, not a human. I've never seen anything like this before."
This is the lazy horse rising into the clouds. How can it be like this?
The people in the audience were stunned. Who had ever seen such a wonderful performance? Was this really a performance they could see?
After the initial shock, the crowd roared with applause, people shouted wildly, waved flags and cheered, and some even rushed forward excitedly, trying to break through the fence to see the scene more clearly.
Above the racecourse, a fire was burning, igniting all the enthusiasm to the extreme.
In the VIP viewing seats, Old Master Ye leaned forward, his eyes wide open, and tightly grasped the window display. He watched his granddaughter's shocking performance with his mouth wide open.
The others looked on in confusion, unable to believe their eyes.
At this moment, everyone almost forgot about winning or losing.
And in the midst of everyone's madness and shock, Ye Tianhui, dressed in red riding clothes, took the lead, passing over the finish line like a ball of fire, and also passing through the hearts of the 80,000 horse racing fans present.
The whole Hong Kong was in an uproar.
