Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Charlies family
Actually, Chen Yu still wanted to wander around this street.
When he first came to the capital, firstly, he had no money, and secondly, there were too many people queuing up for food, so he only visited a few places.
But now, Jin Lingsu obviously held bad intentions, provoking the shopkeepers every time they entered a store, leaving Chen Yu quite helpless.
If he really made enemies out of everyone on the street, then there would be nowhere left for him to enjoy specialty snacks in the future.
Just as Chen Yu got into the car, Jin Lingsu's expression suddenly changed.
"Don't move! We're being watched."
Chen Yu frowned involuntarily, glancing out of the corner of his eye.
He noticed a man skulking around the corner not far from here.
"Where did this guy come from?" Chen Yu asked instinctively, since he had just arrived in the capital and couldn't possibly have made any enemies.
"He must be here for you, he's been following us ever since we left the racing scene," Jin Lingsu said.
Chen Yu's pupils dilated slightly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Jin Lingsu remained unfazed, "If I'd told you earlier, how could we find out who's behind this?"
Without saying anything more, Chen Yu started the car with a calm demeanor.
Sure enough, the guy also started up a motorcycle by the roadside and slowly followed behind.
Chen Yu drove leisurely, eventually taking the car out of the city and into a suburban area.
Just then, Chen Yu suddenly stopped the car, opened the door, and picked up a stone to throw.
The man on the motorcycle was knocked to the ground in an instant.
Jin Lingsu leaped out, pressing a golden spike against the man's throat.
"Kid, who exactly are you? Why are you following us?"
The man was terrified, "I'm from the Charlies family, here to surveil the Eastern Racing Association."
Chen Yu was taken aback, "What association?"
The man gasped, "Aren't you an important member of the Eastern Racing Association? I was ordered to follow you and report your whereabouts to my superiors."
Chen Yu looked frustrated, it seemed that he had now been fully dragged into the business of racing.
"Forget it, let him go! I understand what's going on now."
Jin Lingsu's eyes widened in surprise, "Haven't you heard of not letting the tiger return to the mountain?"
Chen Yu glanced at Jin Lingsu, "Haven't you already cooperated with the relevant departments? Why still act like a bandit?"
Jin Lingsu did not say anything more, sheathing the golden spike and then brutally kicked the man on the ground.
Meanwhile, the meeting hall of the racetrack was already in uproar.
To cope with the upcoming world-class competition, they had invested a lot of effort and money. If they canceled now, the entire Eastern Racing Association could be disbanded.
"What do we do now? All the race drivers are gone, how can we participate in the competition?"
"In our country, there aren't many top race drivers to begin with, and now we can't recruit anyone in such short notice."
"How about we let Young Master Chen take over? Let him lead the team to barely finish the race. Even if we don't place, we can still ensure other revenues."
"Are you all crazy? Chen is the son-in-law of Elder Tong. If his elderly relative gets angry, not just the Eastern Racing Association, even the families here will suffer greatly."
...
As Chen Yu approached the door, he heard intense arguing coming from the office. Without much concern, he walked straight in.
The voices of the argument subdued a bit when everyone saw Chen Yu entering.
Li Kaiquan, who was sitting by the side, lightly tapped Chen Yu's arm.
"Good thing you're back. Just now, they were discussing whether to have you represent the Eastern Racing Alliance in the battle," he said.
Chen Yu laughed twice but didn't respond, simply leaning back in his chair.
When everyone had quieted down, he suddenly stood up.
"If I'm not mistaken, the ones pulling strings behind the scenes should be the Charlie family. This family owns extremely top-tier racing teams around the world. However, their main racer recently had an accident, which is why they're resorting to such despicable tactics to prevent us from competing," he said.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room widened their eyes in shock.
Although they suspected that it was the Charlies family who had sabotaged them, and had sent their people to investigate, they had yet to receive any results.
Chen Yu had just stepped out for a moment, and when he returned, he seemed to have figured everything out.
Originally, they thought Chen Yu had simply left the meeting out of boredom, but now it appeared that although young, Chen Yu had some cunning strategies up his sleeve.
"It's wonderful that Mr. Chen is willing to represent the Eastern Alliance in the competition!"
An elderly man, using a cane, slowly stood up and walked over to Chen Yu, excitedly shaking his hand.
This gentleman had been a top racing driver in his youth and continued in the racing business after becoming a powerful figure in the capital.
He accounted for a significant portion of the Eastern Alliance racing team.
Chen Yu merely responded with a smile, then placed a document on the table. Read exclusive content at m_v-l'e|m,p-y r
"It's no problem for me to represent the team, but I have one condition. If I win the race, I'll need certain advertising rights and profits," he stated.
To the many moguls present, such conditions were trivial. After all, racing was just a hobby for them.
"No problem!" Li Kaiquan was the first to agree.
The others hurried to concur, some even signing the contract and stamping their fingerprints on it right away.
Seeing this reaction, Chen Yu didn't say much else and simply left the office on his own.
Jin Lingsu was sitting on a sofa outside, her hawk-like eyes scanning the surroundings.
In this place, the Charlie family had no idea how many spies they had planted.
In less than ten minutes of sitting there, she had already identified more than a dozen of them.
However, she didn't expose these people; she merely memorized their faces in secret.
When Chen Yu came over, Jin Lingsu handed him over a dozen photos.
"I originally came here for a vacation. Unexpectedly, I ended up working for you! Once this is over, you have to take me around, and personally, you owe me ten days of home-cooked meals," she said.
Chen Yu flicked through the photos in his hand: "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed," he assured.
The racing driver who had been in an accident was saved after emergency lifesaving efforts.
Thanks to Chen Yu setting their bones in time, they could still enter the racing industry after being discharged from the hospital, without it affecting their professional career.
This incident was extensively covered by the media, but most of the coverage criticized the organizers.
