The atmosphere was stagnant.

Previously, Doyle had publicly said that Shen Li had to come to LY for training on the next day. If she did not come, she would be banned from representing LY in any official matches in the future.

Ultimately, Shen Li had not turned up the next day.

Even until now, a long time had passed, yet she still had not made an appearance.

Now that she was finally making an appearance today, everyone found it… quite strange.

Ron frowned.

Previously, Ji Shu and Doyle had almost come to blows, and the whole situation had been very unpleasant. Later, although the training method had been changed back to the original one and Doyle had never mentioned Shen Li’s name again, it did not mean that this matter was over.

From Doyle’s current tone of voice, it was not difficult to tell that he was still brooding over that matter. Furthermore, he still had a deep prejudice and dissatisfaction towards Shen Li.

With Shen Li’s arrival today, Doyle was likely to make things difficult for her.

He said,”Coach, Ji Shu only went to the door to pick someone up. He should be here soon.”

What he meant was that there was no need for him to go over there.

Doyle stared at Ron but did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and walked out.

Ron’s heart sank.

Seeing him leave, everyone looked at each other.

“Did… the coach really go to pick them up as well?”

“Pfft, this isn’t about picking anyone up. He’s clearly looking for trouble! Just wait and see! I guess Ji Shu and Shen Li won’t be getting anything good from him.”

“Well, he’s the head coach, after all… But then again, isn’t Shen Li a bit too much? Since she was signed on last year, the number of times she has come to the base could be counted on one hand. There were times that she didn’t even train when she came. She just sat around and had a meal before leaving. What has this got to do with racing?”

“I heard that she’s a student at Xijing University. She spends all her time doing experiments. I don’t think she has much time.”

“Then, she should go ahead and concentrate on her studies! Although the coach’s words were a little harsh, there was some truth to them. She’s taken up a spot on the substitute team, yet she does nothing all day. What are all those people who train hard all day supposed to think?”

“I think so too. It’s a bit unfair…”

Ron turned his head and swept his gaze over the people who were talking.

“The purpose of training is to get results. LY signed you on so that you could get results and glory on the field, not to let you gossip behind people’s backs.”

Those people instantly quieted down.

More than half of the people here were substitutes. The requirements to become an official member of the LY racing team were extremely strict, so the number of people was very limited.

Ron was the captain, and his status was higher than theirs, so they had to listen to his admonishment.

“… Captain, I’m sorry, we were wrong.”

One of them apologized nervously.

Another person looked unconvinced and could not help but say, “Captain, it’s not that we are targeting her. If she truly had the ability, we would definitely not say anything. But what’s really going on with her now?”

Ron raised his eyebrows.

“Do you think you are better than her?”

The boy choked.

Privately, he had also heard the rumors that the standard of Shen Li’s capabilities was pretty good. Otherwise, Ji Shu, Ron, and the others would not be treating her this way.

However…

She was a good student who spent all her time in the laboratory. She was also a girl who did not come over to train much. How good could she be?

Even if her skills had been good in the past, surely they had deteriorated after slacking off for such a long time, right?

He straightened his neck. “I didn’t say that.”

Ron snorted and looked around.

“Remember one thing clearly: the field is the fairest place! If any of you have a problem with her, you can take advantage of the fact that she’s here today to have a match with her. Of course, whether she’s willing to agree or not is another matter.”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he stopped and turned his head slightly,

“Before you manage to beat her, you should hold back your words!”

…

“Sister Li, it’s been quite some time since you’ve been here!”

Ji Shu had greeted her and led her into the base.

“Your car is covered in layers of dust!”

Shen Li glanced at him.

Ji Shu immediately said, “I lied to you. I wiped it clean!”

Shen Li withdrew her gaze.

“I was a little busy at the beginning of the year.”

The main reason she had come today was because the domestic rally was about to start.

The entire race would last for ten days, with a total of nine stages.

This race was very important to Ji Shu, so she had come to see how his training was going.

Of course, Ji Shu knew that she was busy. So when he learned that she would be coming today, he was quite surprised.

He raised his hand and pointed at the closed training track.

“Sister Li, it’s been so long since you last drove. Do you want to try it out?”

Shen Li thought for a moment. “Let’s take a look at the car first. If it’s in good condition, we can run two laps.”

The two of them chatted as they walked toward the parking lot.

LY had equipped each driver with a special racing car that had a corresponding number. Shen Li’s car was black, but because it was not driven often, it was parked in a more inner position.

She took a look.

“Ji Shu, drive your car out first.”

Ji Shu snapped his fingers.

“Sure!”

Looking at Sister Li’s attitude, it looked like she was really going to run a few laps!

He immediately went over and drove a red sports car out. Then, he parked the car at the entrance of the track to give Shen Li some space.

Shen Li then got into the car. Since it was only a short distance, she did not bother wearing a helmet and drove the car in that direction.

Doyle had just come out of the office and was about to head towards the gate. As he passed by the training ground, he saw the car that was parked at the entrance of the track. Ji Shu got out of the car and stood by the door, looking in a certain direction.

Frowning in disgust, he subconsciously followed Ji Shu’s line of sight.

A black sports car was slowly driving towards the entrance of the track.

Even though Doyle had already been here for some time, he had never seen that car move.

He immediately understood. That was Shen Li’s car!

Naturally, the person sitting in the car had to be Shen Li!

His brows furrowed even more tightly. He sneered and turned to head over there.

Very soon, the black sports car stopped.

Doyle continued to move forward, gradually closing the distance between the two parties.

He really wanted to see for himself, what was so great about Shen Li?

Just then, the person in the car pushed open the door and got out.

It was a slender and tall figure with a black baseball cap on her head. Her entire body exuded a cold and arrogant aura.

Doyle’s footsteps suddenly stopped and a deep shock flashed across his eyes!

That was–
