Chapter 1078: First Capital

Upon hearing this name, Doyle frowned and fell silent.

In fact, in the past few years, they had rarely mentioned that person or the match that night.

It was really not a good memory, and they had a tacit understanding not to mention anything related to it.

He was a little annoyed after Mervyn said this.

If Doyle had not mentioned that Shen Li might win against him, he would not have said those things.

No one liked to admit that they had lost.

Doyle paused and looked at the field again. Thinking of the previous few encounters with Shen Li, he still felt an unspeakable unease in his heart.

“But… she really does look a little like L.”

“You mean her back view?”

Mervyn responded as if he had heard a joke.

“That’s about it.”

Even though they were of different genders, it was a shame that Doyle linked them together.

As he spoke, he turned to look at Doyle a few more times.

“And… you’re really being a little too cautious now. Is it because you haven’t been on the field for too long?”

This made Doyle seem really timid.

Doyle knew what he meant, and his expression darkened.

If it were not for the fact that the two of them had a good relationship and that Mervyn was indeed stronger than him, he would definitely be angry to hear this.

“I’m just reminding you. After all, it’s always good to be careful on the track. Also, don’t forget that her coach is Wen Xiao.”

Mo Wen laughed.

“Wen Xiao? I know he’s good, but wasn’t that ten years ago? And I heard that he’s been making a living by running his own auto repair workshop all these years. is such a person even worth your attention?”

There was a time limit to a racing driver’s career. A person could not always be at the peak. Moreover, Wen Xiao had not been on the track for the past ten years.

How good could the drivers he trained be?

Doyle wanted to say something but stopped.

It was difficult for him to explain to Mervyn. The reason he was afraid of Shen Li was because he had watched her race live.

When he had been coaching LY, he had watched Shen Li train. At that time, Shen Li had easily been able to catch up with Ji Shu and get into the top two positions of the team. She was indeed very talented.

However, when he saw her actually compete, he realized that he had completely underestimated her. Her strength was definitely above Ji Shu’s!

In that race, almost everyone’s attention had been on Ji Shu.

But in fact, Shen Li had been LY’s biggest trump card!

The reason why she had not ranked in the top 100 on the racing board was not because her standard was not good enough, but because she had not participated in enough races!

From start to finish, she had only participated in the last rally race in the country.

This World Championship was the second race that she would officially be participating in!

She was completely different from when she was on the training ground, especially when she was competing.

At that time, when he had been at the scene, he had looked at the pure black racing car in a daze several times.

Even though Shen Li’s level at that time could not be compared to L, he could not help but feel nervous.

Even he himself did not know how this could have happened.

…

Shen Li finished a lap and stopped the car.

Ji Shu followed closely behind.

Shen Li got out of the car and took off her helmet.

Suddenly, she seemed to have sensed something and turned her head to look at the front right.

Two men in red race uniforms were standing outside the track, looking over.

Shen Li narrowed her eyes slightly.

Today’s luck was really…

“Doyle?” Ji Shu also spotted the two people and immediately recognized the one on the right. “The one on the side seems a little familiar too…”

“Mervyn,” Shen Li reminded him lightly.

Ji Shu suddenly understood.

“Ah, yes! That’s him!”

Mervyn was currently the number one driver in the world.

In the past few years, he had won the title of champion driver several times in the major international races. Ral, where he was, was also an old-brand racing club in Leland with numerous honors.

Mervyn was one of the shareholders of Ral and also the captain of their team.

This championship was considered Ral’s home ground, and they were also the favorites to win the championship.

Ji Shu had seen related photos and videos before, but this was his first time seeing him in person, so it was no wonder he had not recognized them at first sight.

“Why are they so free? Are they just here to watch us run laps?”

Ji Shu’s eyes were filled with impatience.

He, as well as all the LY members, hated Doyle to the extreme. Even now, he still felt as if the sight of Doyle hurt his eyes.

Ron had already reached the finish line and was walking over.

When he saw Doyle and Mervyn in the distance and heard Ji Shu’s words, he smiled and teasingly said, “Perhaps it’s been too long since you last met. Do you miss him?”

Ji Shu turned around and threw a glove at him.

“D*mn you, how can you say that?”

Shen Li’s lips curled into an extremely shallow arc.

“I think what Ron said might be possible. After all… it has indeed been a long time.”

With Shen Li supporting him, Ron proudly raised his chin at Ji Shu.

Mervyn’s gaze paused on Shen Li for a moment before he quickly withdrew it.

“Let’s go.”

There was no need to waste time and energy on them.

Doyle took one last look at Shen Li before he turned around and left with Mervyn.

Although he did not say anything, Mervyn’s expression was one of disapproval. Ji Shu and the others could clearly feel it.

In fact, it was not just Crowe and Mervyn. Almost everyone had shown the same attitude ever since they had arrived.

The Chinese team had been at the bottom for the past ten years, and the results and rankings of the drivers were in a mess.

It was no wonder that they received such treatment when they came to Leland.

“They haven’t even gone on the track yet, what’s there to be arrogant about!”

Ji Shu sneered.

Ron patted his shoulder and sighed.

“Brother, although I don’t like them either, they’re ranked first. They do have the right to be arrogant!”

Subconsciously, Ji Shu looked at Shen Li and sneered.

“… After this, if he can still keep his first place, it’s not too late to say that!”

Ron followed his line of sight and pressed his temples.

Shen Li was very powerful. This was indisputable, but compared to Mervyn, who was ranked first, there should still be… some difference, right?

Of course, such words to boost others’ morale and destroy one’s own prestige could not be said at this crucial stage before the competition.

But even if he did not say it, Shen Li could see it from his expression.

She laughed and nodded.

“What Ron said makes sense. Number One, after all, is number one. Of course, he has the right.”

Mervyn and the others should have understood this principle three years ago.

It had been so long. Hopefully, they had not forgotten this point.

…

At the hotel.

In the room, Lu Huaiyu took out a bottle of ice water from the fridge. His cell phone suddenly rang.

He took it out to take a look and answered the call.

“Hello.”

A respectful man’s voice came through the receiver.

“I heard that you have returned to Leland?”

Lu Huaiyu replied with a faint “Hmm.”

The other party asked again,”Then, do you plan to come over this time?”

“I don’t have time over the next few days. Besides, I have not made such an arrangement this time,” Lu Huaiyu said.

The other party seemed to be a little regretful, but he still said respectfully, “Okay, I understand.”

Lu Huaiyu was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly remembered something.

“By the way, has Gambler been there recently?”
