Chapter 668: Brazen
The Category C competitions were over and the He family team had emerged as the champion. Lin Yan was invited on the stage to speak.
However, she gave that opportunity to Mo Shuyun instead. After all, she wanted to leave.
She had no interest in engaging in trivial matters such as speaking in public.
However, before Lin Yan could leave, Su Cai found her with several other staff members.
“Miss Lin Yan, we need to verify something with you.” One of the staff members spoke softly to Lin Yan as he watched her.
“What happened?”
Mo Shuyun had just returned after speaking on the stage. He surveyed Su Cai and the staff members in puzzlement.
“Daddy, what happened?”
Before Mo Shuyun could continue, Pei Yutang and his team, Storm, had convened with the rest of the He family team.
Lin Yan didn’t respond, as she had no idea what was going on.
“We feel that one of the competitors didn’t adhere to the rules.” One of them spoke up.
The He family team cast apprehensive looks at each other.
One of the competitors hadn’t adhered to the rules?
What did he mean?
“Are you suspecting that the competition was staged?” Mo Shuyun contemplated this before he spoke solemnly.
A competition of this scale and importance was rarely organized in the country. Predetermined outcomes were forbidden, and if any teams were suspected of cheating, the authorities certainly had the right to investigate.
If the allegations turned out to be true, the racing team would be punished and the racers involved would be severely penalized too.
“We are only suspecting this right now,” one of them answered.
“I didn’t cheat! I really didn’t!” He Lefeng suddenly yelled out hurriedly.
Everyone’s attention turned to him the moment they heard him.
Everyone knew that, given He Lefeng’s ability, no one would have suspected him of cheating.
“Excuse me, but please don’t be so thick-skinned. They are referring to Lin Yan.” Mo Shuyun glanced at He Lefeng.
“Oh…” muttered He Lefeng.
“How could Lin Yan have been defeated by Storm given her skills? Furthermore, she suffered a crushing defeat. I don’t think we even need to investigate this anymore,” one of the staff members who stood beside Su Cai replied promptly.
“You were the one who accused Lin Yan?” Mo Shuyun turned to Su Cai.
Su Cai was impassive as she replied calmly, “Every competition has its rules. All of us are participants and we inspect other racers too. Lin Yan deliberately lost to Storm. It’s so obvious. Shouldn’t she explain to everyone?”
Mo Shuyun furrowed his eyebrows at Su Cai’s words. He had no retort to object to her words.
Su Cai was the captain of K1 and she had an important position. Since she had alerted the officials personally, the authorities would naturally perform a serious investigation. Besides, Lin Yan’s defeat had been too brazen.
Even they had opined that Lin Yan had deliberately lost to Storm.
Actually, it didn’t matter if she had lost to Storm on purpose or not. Storm’s results wouldn’t have affected any of the teams or races in Category C given their capability.
At major competitions, top teams would occasionally permit small teams to have their way. However, Su Cai had seized this opportunity and wouldn’t let go. Hence, the authorities had no choice but to investigate. In short, Su Cai had seized this opportunity to take advantage of a loophole in the rules.
