Chapter 1077: Do You Think She’s L?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No one knew what Shen Li was thinking. Seeing her calm expression, everyone calmed down.
Shen Li was the youngest among them, but she was also the calmest of all of them.
Lu Siyu and the others had talked in private more than once. They felt that Shen Li’s temperament really did not seem like that of a young girl who was only eighteen or nineteen years old.
No matter what kind of trouble she encountered, no matter what situation she was in, she always seemed to remain calm.
As long as she was around, they felt reassured.
A group of people drove their cars out one after another and entered the race track.
Shen Li’s car was at the back of the line, a beat slower than the others.
Wen Xiao came to her side and helplessly lowered his voice.
“Great-aunt, there are still a few days before the competition. Please take care of yourself. Especially since… Crowe is also here.”
Shen Li nodded. “I know.”
She had come today to check on the condition of the car, familiarize herself with the competition stage, and carry out the final pre-competition adjustments.
As for the other people and matters, none of that mattered to her.
Hearing her say this, Wen Xiao finally relaxed.
“That’s good. I thought you would be affected by that idiot.”
Crowe had verbally provoked her and the whole of LY. With her temperament, this matter would definitely not be easily resolved.
God knew that what he was most afraid of right now was that she would be in a bad mood. Once that happened, he really would not be able to control the situation.
Fortunately, it did not seem to be a big problem at the moment.
Shen Li said lazily, “He doesn’t deserve it.”
…
Crowe and the others did not leave. Instead, they stood by the side of the field and looked at Shen Li and the others.
After their earlier explosive confrontation, their disgust toward Shen Li and the others had increased, even though they had not actually had much interest in LY earlier.
“They only got a pass to the championship because they were lucky. Do they really think they’re that powerful?”
“The highest ranking of the team’s drivers is only a 61. I really don’t know where they got their confidence from…”
“I guess they won’t be able to be complacent for the next few days. When the competition starts, let’s see how they can continue to have that arrogant attitude despite being ranked last.”
“It’s just that our captain doesn’t want to lower himself to Shen Li’s level. Otherwise… heh.”
“That’s right! Our captain’s temper is just a little too good. Shen Li may be pretty, but she really needs to be taught a lesson!”
Crowe laughed without care.
“Why bother with women–”
His voice suddenly stopped.
A few of the team members felt a little strange. “Captain, what’s wrong?”
Crowe looked at the figure on the track with his brows tightly knitted together. His heart seemed to be gripped tightly by something.
On the field, Shen Li came to stand in front of a pure black race car.
Then, she put on her helmet.
Looking at her back, she seemed so tall and thin, her whole body exuding an indifferent and cold energy.
Crowe could not help but tighten his fists.
This back view really made him unable to restrain himself from thinking of some very unpleasant past events.
As if sensing something, Shen Li, who was sitting in the car, suddenly turned her head and looked in this direction.
At this moment, most of her face was covered by the helmet. When she put down the windshield, only her dark eyes could be seen.
From such a distance, it was actually impossible to see her facial features clearly.
However–
At this moment, Crowe still felt a sense of déjà vu, an extremely strong sense of unease welling up in his heart.
It was as if… It was as if he had seen such a pair of eyes before!
And this back view also made him unable to restrain himself from thinking of a particular person.
“Captain? Captain?”
The people beside him raised their voices and called out a few times before Crowe finally regained his senses.
He turned his neck a little stiffly. “What’s the matter?”
“… Captain, what are you thinking about? Why are you in such a daze? And you don’t look too good either…”
The team member spoke tactfully, feeling a little apprehensive.
In fact, the expression on Crowe’s face could no longer be described as just “not too good.”
They did not know what he was thinking about. His face turned pale, and his lips turned white.
They had been by his side for such a long time, yet they had never seen him like this before. Something was really not right.
Crowe probably also noticed that his current state was not quite right, so he adjusted his expression.
“… It’s nothing.”
Since even he himself had said so, it was naturally not appropriate for everyone to continue asking questions. After secretly looking at each other for a few moments, all of them shut their mouths.
Crowe did not care. He only felt uneasy and looked back at the field.
The pure black race car had already sped out!
Crowe’s heart suddenly jumped, and the feeling of panic grew stronger.
…
During the adjustment phase, everyone did not run very fast. In addition, it was their first time running this track, so their overall speed was much slower.
On the other side of the track, there were a few people looking over.
They were wearing red driver’s clothing and were obviously from another team.
In the middle stood a young man in his late twenties. He had brown hair and brown eyes. He had a handsome face, and there was a hint of high spirits in his eyes.
He looked at the few racing cars on the track and chuckled.
“Doyle, is this the team you chose to coach before? It doesn’t seem like… anything special.”
Doyle was standing behind him on the left. When he heard this, his expression darkened.
“The others don’t matter, but that Shen Li… you really need to be careful.”
The two of them had a good relationship. It was just that Doyle was a little older and had retired earlier.
After being fired by LY, Doyle had returned to Leland and joined this team.
With his strength, he was definitely qualified to return to the racing circuit. Moreover, he already had a lot of connections here, so naturally, he had easily been able to settle in again.
“You’re talking about Shen Li?”
He stared at the pure black race car for a few seconds and smiled noncommittally.
“I’ve seen the video of her racing. She’s quite talented, but it’s still far from enough to win a race here. Moreover, her team members are really limited.”
Doyle paused for a moment and said in a deep voice,
“That was half a year ago after all… her current strength might be improved since then. In fact, I think she might even beat you–”
“Doyle, I know you went to China but, how did you become so timid and conservative? She’s just a nineteen-year-old girl… Her beat me?”
The man interrupted him and laughed again, but that smile was a little cold.
“Do you think she’s L?”
